Private Hope Peak Academy — —

A government-recognized privileged school that gathered the best high school students in all fields to cultivate.

With hundreds of years of history, the school continued to produce outstanding talents from all walks of life. It shouldered the future of the country, and its goal was to cultivate "hope." Its students were regarded as the hope of the future.

There was even a rumor that if one graduated from this school, their life would be considered a success.

In this school that only recruited new high school students by invitation, there were two qualifications:

First, as an active high school student.

Second, to possess the best standards in their respective fields.

The reason why this legendary school that held a pivotal position in the world was reintroduced here was not because something went wrong.

It was just because he wanted to emphasize it.

If there was a reason, it would be because … this was the Hope Peak Academy.

It changed his and his future. It was the turning point of all his destinies.

Everything was formed here, and everything was changing here. It was an enormous vortex that none of the participants could escape. Despair grew, and hope sprouted.

When Naegi Makoto woke up, he found himself lying on an unfamiliar desk.

In the quiet space, he could only hear the sound of the tables and chairs moving when he suddenly stood up. The friction between the wooden legs and the floor made an ear-piercing noise. He was startled by the sound and reflexively turned his head to look around. His heart was beating fast without warning.

It was a classroom. Except for him, there was no one else here. The sixteen desks and chairs were neatly arranged. His own seat was also among them.

The blackboard was empty. There was no writing left on it. The podium was also clean as if no one had taught for a long time.

The windows were soldered shut by heavy iron plates, and the room was only illuminated by the indoor lamps. Miao Miaocheng felt an unbearable sense of oppression in this quiet and strange atmosphere. He slowly rolled his eyes, but he did not have any sense of familiarity with this unfamiliar classroom.

"Ah?

Strange … why am I here? "

His body felt heavy and tired. It was as if it was misplaced with his excited state. Miao Mu raised his arm, his five fingers flattened in front of his eyes. He blinked in confusion.

Who am I?

Naegi Makoto.

Where am I?

I don't know.

What am I going to do?

Of course it's … uh, hmm?

Fragments of memories flashed before his eyes. It was the tall and imposing teaching building of Hope Peak that stood under the clear blue sky.

Why would he think of this? It was because he had been accepted by this school. He was the only one in every cohort who didn't need any personal achievements or talents. Because he was the lucky one among all the high school students of the right age in the country, he was given the title of "Super School Luck" and received the invitation letter to Hope Peak.

It was known as the cradle of hope, the dream school that everyone yearned for.

Surprise, confusion, excitement, and uneasiness.

For Naegi Makoto, who was experiencing all kinds of complicated emotions at once, one thing was certain. He was undoubtedly looking forward to this opportunity.

He wanted to become a better version of himself. He wanted to seize the hope of the future here. That was what he was looking forward to.

Therefore …

Therefore, he accepted the invitation.

At this time, the stagnant memory suddenly became clear. That's right, he responded to Hope Peak. This was indeed lucky, and it was probably the luckiest thing in his life. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Then, on that day, the day of reporting to school, because of the school's senior and lover???

His chest was surging with boundless excitement. He stepped into the school gate and the memories came to an abrupt end.

In this place, in this unfamiliar classroom, he woke up.

Uh … uh … uh …

Miao Mu held his chin with one hand and stood there with a serious expression on his face as he pondered.

Could it be … uh … that he was too excited, so he lost face and fainted in the school and was sent here?

A drop of sweat hung on the back of his head. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Ah, so embarrassing …"

At this time, he realized that there were other things on the table in front of him. Naegi Makoto glanced at it and found it difficult to look at the traces of saliva left on the table. He sniffled and picked up the booklet on the table to cover it up.

"School … Guide?"

"Welcome to the New School.

Adjust your mentality. From now on, this school will become a new world for you guys.

"

"You guys … really have a high and mighty tone." He muttered and closed the booklet.

How strange, why would such a school's brochure be so simple and crude, and it was even handwritten.

Between the lines, there was a kind of feeling that made him feel particularly uncomfortable, like the atmosphere was not right … Probably someone's prank.

"Whatever, in short, let's go find??

"Oh?

"

It was reasonable to say that this school was very unfamiliar. Miao Mu walked out of the classroom and quickly found the direction of the entrance hall. The sound of students came from there.

The sound of footsteps came from afar. The few people chatting by the door looked at the newcomer. Naegi Makoto's footsteps suddenly stopped.

What familiar faces.

He knew these people. When he received the invitation from Hope Peak, he looked up their information on the BBS discussion board.

A group of people similar to him but different … The 78th batch of Hope Peak freshmen who were invited. The new generation of super high school level students.

Super high school level literature girl, Fukawa Yukiko.

Super high school level Grandmaster of Combat, Okinawa Sakura.

Super high school level baseball player, Kuwata Ryoen.

Super high school level Biker Clan, Ōwada Rune Soil.

Super high school level Doujinshi writer, Yamada One Two Three.

Super high school level Ethics Committee member, Ishimaru Kiyotaka Xia.

Super high school level Programmer, Fuji?

D Qianxun.

Super high school level Hot Girl, Enoshima Shield.

Super high school level Diviner, Yasuhiro Kombiru.

Super high school level Gambler, Celeste Roddenbeck.

Super high school level Swimmer, Hina Asahina Kuwaiti.

Super high school level Young Master, Shikami Byakuya.

Super high school level Idol, Sayaka Maizen.

In addition, there was also a silver-haired girl who had never appeared in public before. She was wearing a trench coat, black leather gloves, and knee-high boots. She closed her eyes and leaned against the back. She had a cold and distant temperament.

Naegi Makoto's gaze paused on her for a moment, then quickly moved to the direction behind her.

No matter what, it was difficult to ignore the feeling of disharmony … This was completely different from what he remembered.

The place where the glass door used to be was now unrecognizable. The heavy metal door completely blocked off the outside world. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a rather high-tech product. There was a control panel with a numeric keypad at the door.

If that was the place to enter the password, Miao Mu looked up at the gun mounted on top of the metal door. There was no doubt that the position of the gun was right in front of the control panel. Perhaps it meant that if he entered the wrong password, he would be shot on the spot … Haha, how could that be possible?

Just as Miao Mu was laughing at his own ridiculous fantasy, a timid voice entered his ears.

"Um … Are you also a new student this year?" Fuji?

D tried to talk to her.

She was a bit shorter than Miao Mu. She wore a green sailor suit. She had blonde hair and golden eyes, and she looked very cute. Although she was truly famous as a programmer, she was usually hidden behind the scenes. However, it was said that she had a group of fanatical male fans. It should have something to do with her weak and soft personality.

"Ah?

Yeah! "

Miao Mu was stunned for a moment before he nodded. He scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly. "Um, because I accidentally fell asleep … I just woke up in the classroom. I'm sorry I'm late."

Fuji didn't think of anything?

D looked surprised. "Huh?

Are you like that too? "

"Like that too?" Naegi Komaru was puzzled.

"Um, um …" Fuji?

D looked at him carefully and twisted her fingers anxiously. "In fact, all of us here are like that."

"When we came to the school in advance to register, we suddenly lost consciousness and woke up in an empty classroom."

Celeste, who was dressed like a goth, joined the conversation. She lowered her head and played with her fingertips. The corner of her lips curled up playfully. "Don't you think this experience is strange?"

Of course, Naegi Makoto thought it was strange. He felt that the current situation was very strange.

Why was the door locked?

Why were the windows in the classroom nailed shut?

There was no way to know what was going on outside. Even the light couldn't shine in. The cold indoor lights elongated their shadows, eerily casting them on the wall.

Along the way from the classroom to the hall, except for the new student in front of him, he didn't meet anyone else … Where were the teachers and seniors who were supposed to be here?

There were many things that they didn't understand. They looked at each other in dismay. They were all freshmen, so they were confused about the situation in front of them.

Could this be Hope Peak's special opening ceremony for new students?

No one could say for sure.

Was Miao Mu trying to contact her as soon as possible?

Φ mode?

The Qiaodong in the nunnery?

Jojo's Armory Screen Hanger?

Provoke the school?

Fear and disdain?

The maidservant Lin Miao was a parrot, and she was a coward?

Coffin Park Masako?

Reprimand Shirley?

Wait for the plague of Siling's Cysticercus?

Carboxylic acid?

Cough, cough, and blasphemy?

Salt from the moon?

However, what made Miao Mu depressed was that he had no way of contacting her.

Neon?

"Ding, dong … Dang, dong …"

The display mounted high up on the wall suddenly lit up, showing a flashing screen.

"Cough cough, microphone test, microphone test …" A strange voice came out of the loudspeaker. For some reason, it was impossible to tell the gender of the speaker, and even the age of the speaker could not be determined. It was so strange that it was filled with an unpleasant arrogance. "You guys must be the new students of Hope Peak Academy, right?"

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of waiting for an answer. After a symbolic sentence, he quickly continued, "The graduation ceremony is about to begin. All of you, gather at the gymnasium!"

"…" What kind of person was this?

Many people muttered to themselves.

Naegi Makoto didn't remember hearing a voice like this before.

The familiar and unpleasant tone was exactly the same as the one in the admission handbook that was placed on the table in front of him when he woke up.

So it was still someone's prank?

The level of a prank … Could it reach the level of locking all the doors and windows of the academy building, and even completely messing up the freshmen admission ceremony of a super elite academy like Hope Peak Academy?

"I don't care. The announcement said to gather at the gymnasium, right?

Then I'm leaving. "A few people couldn't stand the silence of the freshmen and left noisily.

"I keep feeling that it's a bit strange …"

"Even if we continue to stay here, there won't be any progress." Kirigiri Xiangzi, the girl in the trench coat who had unknown abilities, calmly explained.

The others were convinced by her, and the large group walked towards the gymnasium.

"Why haven't we met anyone else along the way?"

Kirigiri glanced at Miao Mu. His gaze was looking forward, and his jaw was clenched. He unconsciously curled his five fingers, and his eyes were a bit absent-minded, as if his mind was elsewhere.

It wasn't a question, but a subconscious mumble.

"Huh?

Are you talking about the teachers and students in the school? "Enoshima raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, yes."

Miao Mu replied absent-mindedly, "For example, the seniors in the upper grades … They're starting classes today, right?

It's impossible for them not to come to the school building. "

Η Ammonia Ungu Di?

Chen Yi Ungu?

Chang Yi?

Copy?

"Is it just a coincidence?" Bu Er?

D laughed. "The classrooms on the first floor are prepared for the first graders. When I came over, I saw that the staircase to the second floor was blocked by a lift door. The seniors in the upper grades should be upstairs, right?"

"What kind of crazy school would use such a thing to isolate the students? It's not like this is a prison," Yamada complained.

"Maybe this is Hope Peak's specialty?

A special method to cultivate super high school talents … "Sang Tian clicked his tongue, and his face was a bit stiff." It doesn't feel good. I don't want to study in a place where everything is controlled. "

"Is that so?" Naegi Komaru was confused.

Η Ammonia Ungu Di?

Ungu Di Neon Baked Grub Core?

Nunnery

"Do you know anyone in the upper grades?" Kirigiri suddenly asked.

"Yes … Eh?

How did you know? "

It was obvious. His thoughts were written all over his face.

Kirigiri glanced at him and didn't say anything.

If someone he knew was studying in this school, he might have more information about Hope Peak … That was what she thought, but when she saw Naegi Makoto's confused look, she knew that he wouldn't know much. So, Kirigiri retracted her attention from him and turned to observe her surroundings.

Sayaka Maizen, who was walking to the side, quietly turned her face to look at the brown-haired boy. She wanted to interrupt the conversation several times, but when she saw that he was deep in thought, she hesitated for a moment and sighed in disappointment.

This person … Why does it seem like he's thinking about someone?

What's his relationship with that person?

The group of people came to the gymnasium with different thoughts. Everyone was disappointed, but not surprised. There were no other teachers or students here.

The empty room was so quiet that it was terrifying. As they walked to the center of the gymnasium, they introduced themselves to each other in twos and threes. As time passed, the atmosphere among the freshmen gradually became restless.

"They say it's an admission ceremony … There's no one else here besides us, right?"

Just as someone raised a question, something strange finally happened.

"Pfff, pfff pfff pfff pfff —"

Absurd, dark, arrogant, and even horrifying laughter rang out abruptly.

Everything that happened next was something that Miao Miaocheng had never experienced or even imagined in the past ten years of his life. It was a reality that was filled with countless sticky, black mud of malice, chaos, absurdity, bizarreness, and despair. It was a reality that was completely beyond his understanding.

"Welcome to Hope Peak Academy's 78th batch of freshmen."

What appeared on the rostrum was a strange looking bear doll. Half of it was a white smiling bear, and the other half was a black evil bear. It was like two separate dolls were cut in half and then forcibly pieced together. It was filled with a strange sense of disharmony. The doll's eyes looked at them playfully like a living creature. It was like a cold-blooded animal's strange gaze that made people's hair stand on end.

"I won't repeat the hypocritical and tedious welcome speech. Next, you guys will welcome a life together in this academy. If there's a time limit, then it's — there's no time limit."

"Hey, what do you mean?

We're Hope Peak's freshmen. Did you make a mistake? We're not prisoners! "

"I didn't make a mistake."

The Monochrome Bear giggled happily. "You didn't hear wrong. Everyone is going to live together in this school in the future."

"What?"

"Do you want to go out?

Right? Sure enough, when you know you can't go out, you suddenly want to go out, right?

Actually, it's not that there's no way to leave this school — "It dragged out its tone mischievously. Just when all the students had no choice but to focus their attention on it even though they were unwilling to, it continued proudly," As long as one of you can kill any of the other students, you can graduate from this school and leave this place. "

The strange doll seemed to be looking at him when it said this. Naegi Makoto subconsciously took a step back.

This feeling not only came from Monokuma's malice, but also from the students who instantly tensed up when it finished speaking.

"Are, are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding!"

Monokuma tilted its head cutely, "There's no limit to the methods. Whether it's cursing, killing, poisoning, or strangling … any method is allowed to kill!"

This statement was too casual and ridiculous. It was as if a person's life was something insignificant in its mouth. It was as if it was promoting some kind of activity product, urging them to quickly kill each other.

"Bastard!

Who will let you do as you wish! "

Ōwada couldn't take it anymore. He rushed forward and swung his fist at Monokuma. It calmly stood in place, and even when it was lifted up by its neck, it still had the mood to joke, "Aiya, you can't use violence against the principal. That's against the school rules."

"Let it go!" Kirigiri suddenly showed a panicked expression.

"Ah?" Ōwada froze for a moment, then instinctively followed Kirigiri's order.

Monokuma was thrown into the air. It suddenly let out a wild laugh and exploded into a fireball in mid-air.

"Puff puff puff puff puff, this is what you get for going against me —!" Another Monokuma jumped out from behind the podium and said proudly.

The fiery waves lifted the hair in front of their foreheads, and the thick smell of gunpowder rushed into their nostrils. The embers of the explosion gradually fell to the ground under everyone's silent gaze. Everyone's faces gradually turned green as if their necks were being strangled. The discussion and noise disappeared, and they stared numbly at the Monokuma's laughing face.

…

Was Hope Peak a school like this?

Abnormal … This was completely abnormal.

How many students graduated from Hope Peak every year?

Even if those people were still in school, they had never left the public eye. This kind of thing … was simply impossible.

The meaning was completely unclear. Was this??

Is it difficult for Yue Chun to fall in love?

B —

Naegi Makoto's nerves were suddenly stimulated by this name. It was as if he had been splashed with cold water, and he instantly woke up from his chaotic thoughts, "Ah, right, Monokuma, I want to ask you about someone … Where is he?"

"He already left." Kirigiri said faintly.

The brown-haired boy visibly withered.

"Do you still have time to care about others?" Kirigiri glanced at him, "The most important thing right now is to solve the crisis in front of us."

"Hmm … That's true." Although he said so, his worries would not change because of his rationality.

Kirigiri turned her head to look at Okinawa Sakura and Hina Asahina who were walking over from the window. They silently shook their heads at her. As expected, it was impossible to escape from this place using violence alone. She sighed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, the noble-looking Shikami Byakuya and the biker gang's Ōwada got into a conflict.

It was obvious that they were a pair of incompatible auras … Just as she was thinking, Miao rushed forward.

"Calm down, this is not the time to fight!"

"Ha?

Are you trying to preach to me? "

"Bang!" Kirigiri closed her eyes. Fuji?

D let out a cry.

When she opened her eyes again, Naegi Makoto, who had been punched in the face by Ōwada, had fainted on the ground.

The biker gang seemed to be shocked as well, as if they didn't expect this kid to be so weak.

Maizen hurriedly pushed Ōwada aside and ran to Miao's side, carefully helping him up.

Shikami coldly looked at everything in front of him. He sneered and turned around to leave.

She tried to hold it in, but couldn't. She turned around and sighed helplessly.

When his consciousness fell into darkness, Naegi Makoto had a dream.

A dream … that was completely different from his current situation.

He was a new student at Hope Peak, and he stepped into the school with boundless expectations.

There were the best teachers and students in the world here, with the brightest prospects and future. There were also people who had the same talent as him, and he liked them the most.

Η Ammonia Disease

Under the vast blue sky, a pure white kite spread its wings and soared.

Just like his mood, he was filled with hope for the future.
