Dangan Ronpa:return to Despair Academy

A Hope

Sunlight gleamed off of the shining building before me.It was as if the building itself was designed to embody the hope it was to instill in others.Still on this particular day I couldn't help but find the looming structure incredibly horrifying.

Three days ago I recieved a letter from the prestigious Hopes Peak Academy.It was a large school that stood in the center of this large city.I had walked by it only when going further into town with my mom or friends,but I had never gotten as close as I did that day.

Hope's Peak was no ordinary school.It accepted only the best from its fields.According to the rules,you had to be a high school student,and you had to be the absolute best at what you do.

As for why I was scouted...

Four years ago I created a blog on the Internet where I basically talked about various topics, never particularly sticking to any theme.Current events,sports,video games,hot anime/manga,fashion,basically anything that tickled my fancy that day.At first it was just a way for me to blow some steam.But eventually it became pretty popular.Three years later I was still doing it, and I had about 500,000,000 daily visitors from around the world!A fairly large accomplishment for a sub par high school student.

Then came the arrival of my letter.My parents insisted that attending would be a good idea,as did my friends.Mainly because if you graduate,you apparently are set for whatever you set out to do in your field.So I packed my stuff and found myself in front of the gate that faithful day.I wore the standard Hopes Peak uniform,a black blazer with the school's insignia,a white short sleeved blouse and a plaid knee length skirt with black dress shoes.I had left my chestnut hair down for the day,mainly because my dad forgot to wake me up and didn't have time to do anything else.

I was about to take my first step when I heard the pattering of shoes against the concrete.

It must be an Ultimate! I thought.

Horrified I ran down a near alley way and looked to find the source of the noise.

My eyes met the small frame of a young girl with shoulder length light brown hair wearing a green cardigan and a long brown skirt with white shoes.Feeling slightly embarrassed at having found such a small girl menacing I walked out into the open pretending to have just arrived myself.

"Hm...oh!Hello there!"said the young girl as she noticed me approach.

"Hey."I replied giving a small wave."Are you attending Hopes Peak too?"

"Y-yeah!U-um...My name is Chihiro Fujisaki."she said in her tiny voice, extending a pale hand toward me.Grasping it firmly I said "My name is Shizuko Ueno.I hope we will be friends."

Smiling at my friendly gesture Chihiro walked in.Feeling slightly less afraid with the promise of a possible friend in the new world I took my first step into Hopes Peak Academy.

However...if I had known at the time that that would be the last time I'd see Chihiro alive,I probably would've made a break the other way.

But that was my last memory of my peaceful life...when in reality...

...my killing school life had already begun...
