It was a name she was quite familiar with, what with her father’s constant nagging reminders for her to do her best in school in the hopes (ha) that one day she would be chosen to join its ranks of prodigious students. Her mother urged her to do what she felt was best, but her father’s word always trumped her mother’s.
The day that letter came in the mail, her father immediately pushed her into the car and drove her over with the biggest smile she’d seen on him in years. And even she felt some degree of pride as she stood in front of the tall building, gleaming in the sunlight. The place radiated an air of…hope, yes, hope. And she felt that hope as she headed up to the building and placed her hand on the large brass knob, pulling it open and stepping in side.
That single step sealed her - Gosetsu Yasori’s - fate.
When Yasori opened her eyes a second later, she found herself standing in a large, dark room. She could see silhouettes of what looked like other people standing around her, and immediately became scared. What had happened? Was the letter a lie? Had she been kidnapped the second she came in? Oh no, what would her father -
The lights flashed on and interrupted her panicked thoughts. The “people” seemed to be other students. None of them looked familiar, but they all looked dazed and confused as they checked their surroundings.
It didn’t calm Yasori down one bit.
Then the strange bear suddenly appeared and began speaking to them rapidly. Yasori recalled that its name was something like Monokuma. It had a strange accent that she could barely make out, but as it spoke she felt her face grow paler and paler and her thoughts scrambled around her brain.
Live here? Live here forever? Since when did the letter say anything about that?
Graduating? Kill? Killing each other? To graduate? Wait, killing!?
Yasori felt herself beginning to shake as tears welled up in her eyes. What was going on?
With a final snicker, Monokuma disappeared, leaving her with what were apparently her classmates. Seeing no other option, Yasori attempted to strike up a conversation.

[”Why is it dark in here? Where am I? What am I doing here?” said Chiaki to herself. She was really confused at them moment and she didn’t what to do, so she decided to stay silent and don’t move, even one inch, from where she was standing. Suddenly, the lights turns on and the first she sees is a group of people she never saw before that were all in, what it appeared to be, a gym. After looking around with her curios pink eyes, a weird thing appears in front of everybody…a bear to be exact.]
[”Is that…a bear? And why is he talking? Is it some kind of robot or toy like those I saw around some stores…wait. What does he mean by ‘You’ll be spending the rest of our lives in here? What is this?” said to herself while staying silent as always and looking at the weird bear]
[Chiaki was now a little worried, after the monochrome bear spoke she tried to calm herself and think straight without going crazy, but the thought of killing each other was still bugging the young girl. Even though the girl never met those people before, she still didn’t want to kill them nor seeing them dying and well, of course, she didn’t want to lose her life too.]
[After his speech, the bear went away, leaving all the “students” alone. “I should say something…I guess. I stayed for a long while silent so…”]
…This is going to be surely…a unique experience.

Darkness. All Teddie could see was darkness. He was confused and looked around in fear. Where was he? Why couldn’t he see anything? What the heck was happening?! Stopping his thoughts short he took a deep breath to clear his mind. It wouldn’t be a good idea to freak out on the level he was, he needed to remain calm so his thoughts could be more reasonable to say the least. Now, where was he? It appeared to be an extremely dark room, he couldn’t even see his own hand in front of his face. Did the blonde, perhaps, fall into the TV world by mistake? Teddie gave to air a whiff, closing his eyes as he did so to concentrate. That was strange, was his nose playing tricks on him? He could smell other people in the room with him.
Suddenly blinding lights flashed on revealing what appeared to be a school gym. Teddie’s aqua eyes trailed around the room as he spotted a group of unfamiliar people who all seemed just as confused as him. Who are they? He questioned, taking note that they didn’t appear to be shadows of any kind. Eventually though a figure came out from the depths of a stage that sat in the back of the room. A bear to be specific. But not a cute bear like himself, no, this bear had the strangest coat the blonde had ever seen. Not the mention that glaring red eye that only made him feel more unsettled.
The bear introduced himself to be ‘Monobear’, the head master at this school, Hope Peak Academy. Hope Peak Academy? Teddie thought as he tried to recall the titled. Oh that’s right! It was that school that Yosuke’s parents accepted the invitation for. After all they couldn’t turn down the invitation since it was apparently a very selective school which only the ‘Super High School Level’ students could get into. Truly a great honor to be accepted. But why was this place frightening Teddie more the longer he stood there?
Following this ‘Monobear’s speech, the shadow was now left alone in this room filled with strangers. But that wasn’t what bothered him, it was what Monobear had just said. They were trapped and the only way to escape was through death?! The very thought of it made Teddie sick, he could never do such a thing. He always fought for his friends and never could forgive himself if he was to bring any harm to them. “T-That can’t be..” He stuttered out in shock, not wanting to believe any of this was true. It had to be some kind of a nightmare, it had to be! Teddie began to panic once again and tried to pinch himself to wake up from the dream. But the pain was really there. B-But would anybody here really kill someone to get out? He didn’t know these people so it would be hard to say.
Still shaken by what had just happened, Teddie decided the least he could do was meet his classmates. This would probably be the best idea since, after all, anyone of these people could have the potential of killing another. “H-Hello everyone” He said giving a small smile. But despite his efforts to look happy it was very evident he was frightened by all that had just said.

Where… Was he? This was the first thought that rang through the Mechanic’s mind as he stared blankly ahead…. This was stressful… How did he get there? Why was he there? He couldn’t remember… It all was a blur to the Mechanic…. However walking around in the darkness wouldn’t be a good idea….. A look of confusion on the Mechanic’s face at that point as the lights turned on in almost an instant. His eyes glancing around the room at…. A group of students there? Who were these guys?
A chill seemed to go through the Mechanic’s body as he turned his head lightly. A Gymnasium? Why were they there? Was this some sort of joke? For a moment Souda kept silent before staring ahead at…. A bear? What was this thing? It didn’t look natural…. Bear’s didn’t have that sorta look right? It must have been Mechanical… Either that or a really rare species or something… That aside Souda stared calmly toward it… Hiding the fear behind a brave face as he listened to the words of the bear once more….
Monobear…. That was this things name? But wait? They would be spending the rest of their lives there?! Was this some sorta joke?! It had to be! There was no way this could be real! It just couldn’t! For a moment Souda’s face grew worried. As if the brave-look had faded in an instant…. As Souda continued to listen… The mention of killing came up… Just what type of school would do this?! That bear must have been insane! Students killing each other….?
For a moment Souda’s eyes seemed to glance to each student. Watching their expressions as he fought back tears. They had to kill to get out…? Were they all capable of doing that?! Souda knew that it sounded crazy…. Why would anyone kill… Well anyone! There had to be another way! He could fix up a car to drive outta the place! That was a better idea right?! As the Super Highschool Level Mechanic he knew that was an option…. But were there parts? And a car for that matter? And what if one of these people were actually killers?! The thought ringing through Souda’s mind as he shook his head lightly.
Souda kept silent however now as he watched the bear leaving…. They looked delighted?! More like Terrified! How the hell was he going to kill somebody?! That wasn’t something Souda could do! It just wasn’t! There was no way he could! Now due to stress Souda glanced to the group of students there….. There were more of them than that bear right? They outnumbered him! They could take him down right! Then they’d get out of there…. But wait… What if they WANTED to kill students….? He didn’t know them… Let alone trust them…. Then who could he trust there….? Any one of them could want him dead…. For a moment Souda glanced to each student as he gave a look of worry for a moment…. His fists clenched for a moment before pointing toward them.
“H-Hey!? Anyone got any bright idea’s on how to get outta here? ‘Cause there’s gotta be another way outta here right? ‘Cause… Killin’ each other…. Do we really gotta do that to get outta here?! A-And I guess I should be askin’ who you all are too right?” Souda stated in a more confused-yet terrified tone. It was clear the boy was worried about this situation… However it also was clear he was trying to keep calm at the same time.

It was so cold,and dark. Even in darkness,she could feel,how bad things were going to be. Her mind was in a whirl,where were her friends,where was she? Are they somewhere around here? It seems maybe some questions would be answer as the light flickered on. A…gym? The girl glanced around,no familiar faces so far,and it looked like no one else had any idea what was going on here either. As they all looked toward the center, a small bear was there,and it began to speak
Th-This..isn’t a normal bear..
She thought as it continued its speech. Instead of the relief she was hoping for,she only felt her heart sinking deeper into her chest.
The more this,thing spoke,the more horrible the situation became. This was sick,it was wrong! It felt like she was being forced into the Holy Grail War all over again! Except this time..there was no Rin,Rani,Archer. No one. She was on her own,and if she wanted to escape,she herself would have to hurt someone…all these people or be killed.
There was no way this was possible,there had to be another way out. Before she could gather the courage to speak out to Monobear,it disappeared Leaving them all to themselves.
While some spoke to each other,trying to make conversation,Angel simply stared at her shoes,unable to process anymore information.
_________________________________________________________
Hope’s Peak Academy… according to Teddie’s research and from what Yosuke has heard, this school was the most prestigious school in all of Japan, and only those who have been invited are allowed to attend. When Teddie found out that he was invited to such a school, Yosuke was in complete shock. Nevertheless, Yosuke wished Teddie a good time and to wish him good luck in his new life for the next few years or so.
However, things turn a different turn… instead, he found himself inside the gym. A rather, bleak gym. Not that he knew the room he was in. The lights turned on, and at the center stage… was a bear? “H-Hey… that thing’s a bear, just like me…” he commented.
He heard the bear introduce itself as “Monobear”, the headmaster of the academy… The name rang very pleasing to his ears. He found it silly that the bear was a leader of a school, but then again, Teddie’s a bear himself. He lost all rights to even find anything ironic concerning bears.
The bear continued ranting on about how all the students are to stay in the academy for the rest of their lives. “H-Huh…?” He wasn’t sure why, but he can’t possibly stay inside this school forever… His friends, family, and even his special someone would be waiting for him. For a moment… he stood there in silence.
That was when… the bearer of bad news broke out. If anyone wanted to leave here, one of the students… would be forced to commit the perfect murder. Dead silence was all that surrounded the poor blonde. N-No… k-kill someone…? I-I couldn’t…! he thought in desperation. And the worst part of it all… Only one student was allowed to leave the academy. This meant only one thing…
… There’s a chance, Teddie could die.
After the bear left them all to discuss with themselves, all Teddie could do was stand there… Breathing heavily… What if he couldn’t see Yosuke again? What if he couldn’t see Nanako or Yu again? What if he couldn’t see his friends again? Worst of all… what if he couldn’t see Rise again?
He couldn’t possibly speak. Though he wish this were not the truth, there’s a possibility that he could be telling the truth. The only thing that was on his mind was, whether or not to believe that is the truth… He has to get to the bottom of this. There was no way it could be the truth.
… This is all a lie, right?

(H-Hey… where am I…?) Shrouded in darkness, Daichi found himself inside a school of sorts… though that is to say, the school didn’t have a pleasant aura. It wasn’t until the lights shined to reveal that they were in a gym. (Oh great… I’m in school again… Why doesn’t this surprise me…?)
Suddenly, emerging from the shadows, a black and white bear jumped out and greeted him. Actually, it wasn’t just him, was it? Taking another look around, no doubt that Daichi wasn’t the only one here. (Oh… I-I’m not the only one… at least I wasn’t kidnapped again… I hope…)
After introductions, the bear dubbed itself as Monobear, the headmaster„ and then told everyone that they would stay here for the rest of their li- (… Wait a second… STAY IN SCHOOL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!?)
(What the hell does that thing mean by tha-) The bear continued on about how the only way to graduate was to… to kill!? (No way… this has to be a joke… right? No way this could be true…) And the only way to determine who killed who is during a school trial, according to the self proclaimed headmaster… (… It’s just like a video game…)
Daichi kept bonking himself on the head. (No… this is all a lie, right? It’s just some joke someone’s playing on us… I think.) But what followed was worse: Only one person was allowed to leave… (Damn it, damn it, damn it..!!)
The bear soon left for everyone to collect themselves. If he’s going to survive, he has to at least work with everyone… Sounds like a familiar scenario for him.
“H-Hey… what the bear thing said… I-It’s all a joke, right?” he turned to everyone with reluctance.

Blinking at the sudden change in light, eyes having become used to the dark, Naoto took the time to quickly scan around the area and at the others who appeared to be in the same predicament. This room was unfamiliar, despite the array of gymnasium equipment none of it struck a chord. With a room so grand you would think something would stand out, recall even the smallest of memories to mind, yet nothing came. How on earth did she, and by the looks of it everyone else, end up here?
The loud switching on of lights tore her from her thoughts as her attention diverted itself to the stage. With the whirring of what sounded like a platform came from the stage Naoto held her usual hard expression, whatever would come from that stage would surely hold answers—or, at the very least, would leave some questions. From the corner of her eye she noted that the others seemed to all be staring, waiting, too, perhaps they were also quite frantic for answers as none showed any signs of knowing. They truly were all in the same situation.
To see a talking bear would have been a surprise had it been the first so, though this contrasting bear was far more foreboding than the Teddie she knew, this wasn’t as strange as the bear may have hopped it to be. Deciding that their tone wasn’t of importance, thinking otherwise would have been somewhat hypocritical, she chose to focus on their words and emotion.
Being addressed as students: They were in a school; judging by the size of this room alone it was a rather large one—this deduction soon became fact once Monobear introduced themselves as headmaster. The next piece of information raised some questions, how did this bear expect them to comply and abide by this? To stay in this place, Hope Peak Academy, for the remainder of their days? Folding her arms beneath her chest she quickly surmised an answer: There was something keeping them here. With this many people overpowering Monobear seemed simple, therefore there was something in place that hindered escaping.
There it was—locked in. Doors, with enough force, shouldn’t take much to break down, leading her to believe there was more to it. Monobear appeared to be one for theatrics with how they paced themselves, always allowing their words time to linger and etch themselves into their minds, this meant she didn’t have to wait long for him to continue the monologue and explain how to graduate from this school.
Kill? That broke her calm demeanour. Kill or be killed, or live out your days in this place: the offer that Monobear provided. Killing others went against her very being yet it was inescapable, the trial alone would cause bloodshed whether they exposed the killer or not.
Noting how pleased Monobear was as he left Naoto exhaled and reverted to her previous calm expression as she closed her eyes; this was what he desired, a school of mutual killing. He wished for one person to graduate…
Finding a different way to escape was the only option.

superhighschoollevelhopeschool:
There was confusion and panic among the group of students, everyone had mixed feelings over the entire situation that they were thrown in for the very obvious reasons. Some were more composed while some were ready to break down into tears. There seemed to be a heavy atmosphere that was laid down upon them when Monobear spoke about their current standings. Some were trying to initiate conversation in order to break the silence but it seemed like that would prove to be more difficult seeing as no one properly responded. They were still in a stage of disbelief.
Before they were given anymore time to recover the spotlights came up once more on the same spot and once again they were met with the dubious face of the stuffed Monobear. Its demented smile never leaving its face. It spoke once more.
"Ara...? What's taking you bastards so long to intorduce yourselves to everyone? This is the worst student orientation ever! Fine, as your head master I'll introduce your own class to you since you're all so shy!"
At his words a giant digital board appeared behind him that turned on and suddenly a profile of everyone in the room:
Super High School Level Gangster: Yasori Gosetsu
Super High School Level Gamer: Chiaki Nanami
Super High School Level Bear: Teddie Hanamura
Super High School Level Flirter: Teddie
Super High School Level Engineer: Kazuichi Souda
Super High School Level Cosplayer: Angel Kishinami
Super High School Level Delivery-Boy: Daichi Shikima
Super High School Level Detective: Naoto Shirogane
The board revealed who each and everyone was in the room to each other alongside a supposed title of Super High School Level. It was odd seeing each others profiles like that but everyone was absorbing the information about each other as if it was simply a school meeting of sorts. Sadly the words of the bear earlier on still have their effects on the students.
As soon as everyone had a good long look at each other and the profiles the screen changed it's image to what seemed to be a layout of a school.
"Alright now it's time to be acquainted with the school that you all will be staying in forever. So let's get started; right now areas that you are not allowed to enter are sealed off with spiked fencing so that you won't be able to access them... "yet". But you do have access to everything that isn't fenced off; right now all you poor little bastards have access to are; 4 classrooms, the hallways, the front foyer, cafeteria, AV Room, Laundry room, school shop, the dormitories, and this gym. Upupupupupu, this is already too much for you bastards but I'm a nice bear and gave you all your essential things, including the electronic student IDs that you all should have. Those IDs allow you access to certain rooms and also have the school rules and your profile on them, make sure you don't lose them or you're going to be in big trouble! And finally, I've also given you each keys that will open your room's that are assigned to you in the dormitories; boys on one side girls on the other, we don't want any going ons like that in this school! You all should read the school rules on your own time, cause I'm too lazy to explain all of them to you! You got all that? Well I hope your days of mutual killing begin! Now, I'm a busy bear and have many things to do but if any of you need me just yell and I'll pop up! Upupupupu! Enjoy your school days!"
And with that the bear vanished once more...
Leaving the students on their own accord...
