Despairing Hope [Goodbye Despair: Danganronpa 2 x Male Reader]

Prologue - 3

How did the dude with the brown hair manage to bump into me if the door was open? Did it close after I opened it again or was he just far-sighted and thought I was some glob? It could've just been a case of misdirection but...

Whatever, the main point is we were now trapped in some weird classroom juvie. And I wasn't that hyped about it.

Speaking of the normal guy, he was now the one doing the speaking. "...The entrance exam? You mean Hope's Peak Academy's?" The girl with the fluffy dress, and the green bow that matched some of the main scheme of her outfit, added to what he was trying to put down, stating unsure, "But...according to Hope's Peak Academy, no such entrance exam exists."

Getting a feel for the idea he had in mind, the jacket wearer with faded pinkish tips, put up a finger in the air, as if presenting something to a class. Well, he technically was. "They may say that publicly, but it's possible that this is actually a special entrance exam."

It seemed that another person and I had the same idea, our voices clashing. "Wouldn't we still know somehow?" "Ah, you're wrong. This is not an entrance exam." I turned and tried to find where my fellow disagreeing classmate was but when I looked to the direction I heard it from, somehow my eyes fell on the egotistical white suited rude boy from earlier.

Though, even he seemed puzzled, asking, "What was that just now?" One of the students that hadn't said anything at all glared at him, but it was more of a sharp and curious glance. "Hey, fatass... Why'd you make that cutesy voice all of a sudden?"

I just found myself weirded out, mumbling, "Yeah, how'd you do that?" The glasses bearing teen looked disappointed, shaking his head while sighing. "I won't dispute that blunt remark about my weight. But that voice you just heard was not mine..." Then who else?

I looked for answers from one of the girls, but all of them were just as confused as everyone else was, taking turns to look at each other, the girl with the half buttoned half unbuttoned shirt and brown wild hair from earlier asking the money question. "...Huh? Then whose is it?"

"Um, it's actually mine!" Jesus it was so high-pitched, any higher and it could've been a dolphin's echolocation screech.

"Who's there!? Where are you!?"

"It sounds like it came from behind the teacher's desk..."

In pursuit of a girl with a pink backpack and...a Galaga spaceship pin in her auburn hair, every student looked at the teacher's desk. Me and her were going to have a talk later. Anyways, the happiest voice ever to be heard in mankind (Okay, that may be slightly exaggerated but still) came from the front of the classroom, when we were all facing the desk.

"All right! I see everyone has arrived! Let's begin!"

Then, the weirdest thing ever happened. A bunny plushie launched into the air, twirling around and landing on top of the teacher's desk perfectly. It was wearing a frilly pink and white dress, angle wings, and some sort of pendant, grasping a magic wand in its right hand. With a twitch of its ears, it balanced on one foot and I swear, sparkles were surrounding it.

"What is that...?" I was a bit too shocked to be discerning who was talking, so I just continued staring forward. "Um...it looks like a stuffed animal." The bunny plush seemed pleased by that remark...smiling? If a stuffed toy could smile. A stuffed robotic toy with some AI. Yeah, actually, it could probably smile.

Anyways, it announced, "That's right, I am a squeezably soft stuffed animal. Magical Miracle Girl Usami...A.K.A Usami! I may not look like it but I'm your squeezably soft teacher." It curtsied and finished with a bright wave of its double heart shaped staff with...wings. "Nice to meet you all!"

Oui chef awkwardly laughed, probably something he does every time he gets nervous, staring at...Usami as if in a daze while he asked, "H-huh? Am I hallucinating? Am I the only one who's seeing this?" Beanie boy shook his head, mumbling, "Nah, I see it too..."

The girl with wild hair and the shirt that I keep mentioning has missing buttons looked like she was watching a gorilla bashing a barrel, exclaiming, "What's with this talkin' Chihuahua?!" I snorted while the other girl with wildly dyed hair shouted, "Eh? That's a Chihuahua!?"

I couldn't help but start to laugh, though I covered my mouth, at least trying to be somewhat polite. Usami managed to keep her happy air, though it was straining as she asked, "...Does everybody here know what a rabbit is?"

She then twirled and started to explain, trying to actually teach us something. "It's a lovable animal that's very fluffy and soft." With a giggle, she jumped into the air, finishing, "That's what I am! A singing, dancing, talking, rabbit mascot!"

However, Oui chef only started to shake again, shouting out, "H-hold on! Let me process this first!" Usami returned back to teacher's desk, floating down gently and holding her staff closer to her. "Okie-dokie!"

He then turned to us, as if we were the audience of a show, questioning, "Um...what do you guys think? I-I've never seen a stuffed animal that can sing, dance, and talk before." By now, my laughing fit was over and I gazed at Oui chef in confusion. "You've...never seen an animatronic?"

When he shook his head, I opened my mouth to explain but Beanie Shark beat me to it, turning to face me as he murmured, "E-even if it were an animatronic, doesn't it look too lifelike? That's pretty advanced for a machine..." I thought it over, glancing at Usami in the process before shrugging and wordlessly agreeing.

"It being an animatronic or not is not the issue. More importantly, based on what it just said," The kid in the white suit was also staring at the rabbit, however, his eyes held determination, continuing, "It seems you know something about out current situation...!"

A slap of realization hit my head but before I could add anything, Usami cheerfully replied, "Of course I do! I'm the lead teacher of this school trip!" "School trip...? Hey...what do you mean, school trip?" Lead teacher? Oh, wait wrong focus. SCHOOL TRIP?!

The bunny laughed cheekily, holding its stomach, as it stated, "A large group of students go on a chaperoned trip with a lead teacher! It's the biggest event of the school year!" I was taken aback, asking, "Are all the lead teachers animatronics?!"

Underneath my words there was a small comment that came from the brown haired boy in the back of the class. "W-we're not looking for such a literal answer." Usami giggled and pointed at us students, responding to my question with a joyful, "You'll find out eventually! Now, let's depart for the fun school trip!"

It waved its wand around in the air and the room was filled with a pink, sparkling light. The walls of the classroom and everyone started to panic when the roof of the room suddenly ripped apart like paper, taking the walls down with it.

A bright light so blinding that everyone had to shut their eyes just to keep their retinas undamaged filled the used-to-be classroom and when we all opened them again...
