As time slowly passed one by one more of the students entered the room into Kyoko Kirigiri’s view of the gymnasium.
Kyoko watched as everyone was introducing themselves to each other and and having their own conversations as she still felt the presence of Celeste next to her. She stood silently, still not comprehending why so much of her life seemed blurry, her memories were completely a fuzz. She just couldn’t remember and it frustrated her to no end.
All she could do in the moment was listen to the conversations that were going on around her.
“And who would you be?” The girl who she overheard being named Hina greeted excitedly, as she talked to the latest person who walked in, an aggressive looking guy with a large pompadour.
“Names Mondo Owada, nice to fuckin’ meetcha”
“Hey! As the Ultimate Moral Compass I would like to strongly digress that you speech more respectfully than that!” She heard another voice, belonging to Taka speak very boldly.
Oowada let out a huff, “And what are YOU going to do about it huh?”
“Well I-!”
Their petty arugument came to a stop just as quickly as it started when they were intrupted by the last of the 15 students walked in, a brown haired student with a black unzipped hoodie.
“Am I late? Aha sorry about that everyone” The boy said sheepishly as those who heard him come in looked over.
“Yes you are late in fact and that will not be put up with! You need to put in efforts to make improvements to yourself so you can be certain you are always on time!” Taka immediately scolded him as soon as he came in.
He let out a sigh to himself before speaking again. “And what is your name? I apologize for not asking you that first.”
“I’m sorry I’ll be earlier next time-! And I’m Makoto Neagi, Ultimate Lucky student”
“And that makes 15 of us! That’s got to be everyone, right?” Hina immediately said.
“Probably, does that mean the entrance ceremonies going to happen soon?” Yasuhiro- who told everyone to call him Hiro replied.
“How do we even know that there’s going to be a...”

...
Kyoko slowly stopped listening to everyone else all together, what was on her mind is why she was here and trying to remember again. It’s not like everyone else had any more insight then she did so there was no point of paying attention to what they were saying. She knew if she’s wanted to find anything out, she would have to be the one to do it herself-
“Oh, that’s right we never exchanged ultimates didn’t we?” She looked back at Celeste next to her who seemed to genuinely want to start the conversation back up after she shot it down.
Celeste flashed her what seemed to be her signature smile. “I’m the Ultimate Gambler myself.”
“Interesting” She seemed proud of herself for that title.
“And what may you be dear?”
Kyoko stayed silent. What was her Ultimate? She still couldn’t remember and it continued to annoy her. She doubted she would even believe her if she told her the truth, what reason did she have to believe it? Would it have a negative affect on her if it was known she couldn’t remember? She was over thinking it without realizing.
“Dear?” Celeste was looking at her waiting for some sort of answer.
“I can’t say.”
“Why not?”
Did she seem disappointed? “I just- can’t.” Kyoko really just wanted this conversation to end.
“Well I can’t force it out of you if you don’t want to tell me.”
She sighed frustrated, and put two fingers to her head and looked down. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, I can’t”
Before Celeste was able to reply there was a sudden movement coming from the podium at the front of the gym that made Kyoko pick her head back up.
What the...
Before everyone’s eyes a white and black bear appeared in their view as it jumped up and landed, sitting right on top.
This definitely wasn’t in one of possible Kyoko thought would be happening.
“Is that a,, teddy bear-?” Fujisaki awed, just as shocked as everyone else in the room.
“I am NOT a teddy bear! I am... Monnnnnooookuma! This school’s headmaster!” The bear- Monokuma talked so cheerfully to the point it was eerie, there was no way this thing was the actual headmaster what was it doing here?
“Wh- wwWHHAAAA! A talking teddy bear!” Yamada screamed out which was reasonable for what was going on.
“Everyone calm down, I’m sure it just has a speaker inside!-” Taka spoke hesitatily but it was clear he was trying his best to reassure everyone.
“I already told you! I am not a teddy bear, I am Monokuma, your headmaster! We have to get started so everyone stand at attention and say good morning!”
“Good morning!” Taka clearly already accepted this.
“Now, let us get to the entrance ceremony and talk about your school life, you will all live only within this school everyone will have to live a communal life together! And when will it end?... Until the day you die of course!”
“What the hell? Forever? You’re screwing with us aren’t you?” Enoshima said just as shocked as everyone else, after being told something like that no one would believe it.
“I am not screwing with you! You are completely cut out from the outside world so there is no possible need of worrying about what is outside these walls! You are completely trapped here forever!”
So that would explain the metal plates,,
“Unless... someone were to- disturb the harmony”
“Come again?” Togami questioned back at Monokuma.
“Puhuhu.. if someone were too kill another! You MUST kill another if you want to leave! It’s the only way.”
“What the hell kinda joke is this!? Owada grabbed Monokuma with all his rage. “I’m going to rip yer to SHREDS!”
A beeping noise started. “Wahh violence against the headmaster is against the school regulations!” The beeping got faster and louder.
“Watch out! Hurry up and throw it!”
Oowada did as I said and threw Monokuma in the air and there was a loud boom as she saw him explode. “What the hell.. it blew up..”
This clearly wasn’t a joke. I looked over at Celeste who was still standing next to I she clearly had the same reaction as everyone else.
“Doesn’t that mean the teddy bear is destroyed?..” Fujisaki said and as soon as she said that-
“I told you I’m not a teddy bear! I’m Monokuma!”
“He’s back!” Kuwata shouted.
“Oh and lastly! Here are all your official school e-handbooks! All school rules along with your names are displayed inside! A punishment will take place if you go against a rule, just like what you saw. That will be all for now, see ya later!”
And just like that.. Monokuma disappeared.
