The room was left with empty silence for a second after the psycho of a 'headmaster' left as I skimmed through the rules, and occasionally I looked around the room until Hoshi broke the silence "The Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles School regulations....so these are the rules" Tojo added "I do not understand why someone...would force us to do this?" I plastered a smile on my face "but the rules are pretty cut and dry. This game doesn't seem like it'll be boring" it'll be anything but boring...it's going to be he** and Chabashira called out "That's not the problem!"

Shinguji then asked a bit tiredly "please lower your voice. It is ruining the atmosphere" when Yonoga brought up "hey, hey what does the sixth regulation mean? The killing game and class trial will continue until only two surviving students remain, only two surviving students? What would be the reason for that?" Cause you can't have a class trial at that point anyway.... and Saihara almost as if reading my mind said "perhaps it's because you couldn't do a trial with just two people?" And Yonoga answered cheerfully, somehow because I could tell she definitely wasn't lying, "I see, I see your so smart Shuichi" for some reason I got a bit annoyed by that last comment. Momota said annoyed "quit screwing around...killing game...school regulations...to he** with all that crap! Who'd go along with something like that?!"

Kaito then raised his Monopad with an enraged look on his face ready to destroy it when Amami stopped him saying "whoa, hey now, don't do that. School rules says you can't break it" Harukawa as if deep in thought said "if you violate the rules, the Exisals will dispose of you" and Momota cried out "I don't care about the rules! No way I'm going to play this messed up game!" Does he honestly think we even got a choice in this? And Amami said "this isn't about 'playing' the game. It's too dangerous to disobey him now" and Iruma, who is just...ugh, cried out "forget about him! Just means one less dumba** for the world to deal with!"

"Hey! Who you calling a dumba**?!" Momota screamed in retaliation and Akamatsu clearly annoyed cried out "HEY! QUIT FIGHTING ALREADY!" I nearly bounced back shocked that Akamatsu of all the people, here would yell at them, Momota to "woah what the- "but Akamatsu wasn't finished with her nagging adding on "we should it be fighting amongst ourselves, right now we need to work together, honestly I probably be more I siring if I played a song than give a speech. Chopin's 'military polonaise' would definitely unite us!" 

"Yeah, I could get behind some bolognese and I even like meat or tomatoes" I said jokingly, though that's actual kind of cool of her to try and be the leader and all of that and Chabashira cried out "I agree with Akamatsu chan! We must remember who the real enemy is! Master told me that strength must always be aimed in the proper direction!" And Yemeni shaking a bit said "a-anyway...your all panicking goes much.... just...stay calm...like me" Yumeno needs to learn how to lie if she ever wanted to pull that off, seriously she looks like a rocket ready to blast off.

And Yonaga in shock said "wow! Your shaking so much!" And Iruma said nervously "even I can't handle these intense vibrations! And trust me-I've got loads of experience!" Bi*** 

And Akamatsu said "anyway...why don't we work together and search the for an exit one more time?" Cause that's totally what I haven't been doing ALL day, she probably is right though. And Shirogane added "but we looked all over that wall and there wasn't a single hole..." and Keeboy yes, I finally made one! said "now wait for just a second, if there's no opening in the wall then how did we get inside these walls in the first place?" And Shirogane said almost naively "oh, good point" And Akamatsu said with a smile "that means there must be an opening somewhere!we just have to find it! Whoever trapped us here wants us to fight each other. So, let's show them that we're not going to let that happen! We're not going to fight each other! We're going work together! Okay!" 

The room went silent. Well looks like we have a leader, no co plants...she actually seems to already trust us..without even knowing us...even me...that's kind of amazing to be honest...I envy her but Akamatsu took it the wrong way nervously inquiring "why are you so quiet?...Did I say something wrong?" And Tojo immediately responded "on the contrary, you made your case with such succinct aplomb that we've been rendered speechless" does Tojo need to crack open a dictionary every time she speaks?

"Heh.... I was gonna say the same thing...but you beat me to it, you're exactly right! We can't give up so easily!" And Yonaga excitedly almost resembling a child said "let's split up and try to find the exit! Oh, Atua give us strength" How do we know the person who finds it won't just book it and leave the rest of us...? And Amami said awkwardly "I must admit, I admire your spirit" and Gokuhara looked as if he just realized saying announced "oh, wait!" And Yumeno said "what is it? We were just about to get started"

"Um...maybe it not matters much, but...Gonta find manhole earlier. In grass, behind the school building" Gonta you idiot! Akamatsu cried out "a manhole?" And Gokuhar- screw it Gonta said "Gonta peek in. See big, underground passage. Think maybe it exit. Sorry. Is probably not so simple" well this was anticlimactic, what's the catch? And Chabashira cried out "you got to mention important stuff like that much faster!" And Gonta quickly out of breath afterwards said "Gontapeekin.Seebig,undergroundpassageThinkmaybeitexit" And Chabashira "wait! Not like that! Your talking to fast!"

"The boiler is behind the school building. We must corroborate Gonta's claim at once. Gonta please lead the way" Tojo said respectfully but dutifully. And Gonta excitedly said "okay everyone follow Gonta!" And we all followed with the exception of Saihara, Akamatsu and Amami. What are they talking about...? I thought as I quickly followed Gonta. Hey looks like it might be easy sailing after all, so why do I still have a bad feeling about this...

-/-/-/

Akamatsu And Saihara were the last to enter when Amami said "looks like we're all here. So, where's this manhole?" And Gonta said looking around "over there, in grass" and Iruma called out "An important hole near some bush?! Sounds familiar, am I right ladies?!"Yonaga then said "aww this manhole cover looks heavy. Can we even lift it?" Actually...yeah...wait didn't Gonta already lift it? And Keeboy confidently said "I can try"

Keeboy pulled on the manhole cover bravely only for like I'm cartoons to practically look like his arms were about to pop out of his sockets, can they? And Keeboy said "how embarrassing. It won't even budge" and Yonaga said as if she was a narrator "huh? Even a robot not strong enough to move it?" And Keeboy said. "Oh, don't worry. Y physical strength is approximate to that of a strong senior citizen. *bleep* "That's fu**in pathetic!" And Keeboy said "the professor did not want a repeat of the tragedy that occurred during the trial production" I don't even want to know.... "Um now I'm just plain curious about what happened during that trial" And Gonta said "oh then allow Gonta, Gonta loft cover before to peek inside, should be able to pick up cover too"

Gonta took the sides on the manhole cover and barely seemed to try as he Kate's it up into the air with one hand gripping it like a Frisbee. And once again man proved superior to robots. Gonta then said "upsy daisy"and Shirogane called out in shock "so easily?!" Yumeno added "his strength must be due to my magic, yup there's no mistaking it" wanna check that Yumeno?

"Oh, your amazing Himiko!" Chabashira said clearly on first name base with Yumeno chan already "what should Gonta do with cover now?" Tojo replied "please leave it somewhere else. Be careful not to hit anyone with it" And Gonta with a regretful voice responded "um, actually Gonta no can do that, very rude to litter" are you kidding me? But he ended up tossing it aside begrudgingly.

Shinguji laughed "what wonderful strength, you could likely crush a child's skull with ease" And Gonta screamed "HOW UNGENTLEMANLY! GONTA NEVER DO THAT!" And Chabashira saying why was likely on most people's minds "gentleman or not no one would do that!" I added moreveover "but Gonta is sooo much more reliable than some bean counting robot" I held a smile on my face. And Keeboy said a bit annoyed yet also curious "are you...talking about me? Because I can count many things, not just beans"

Shirogane glanced at the manhole and asked "this place is kinda creepy, we're really going in here?" And Momota a bit idiotically said "I'm sure it's fine, at the very least we won't die down there," what's the very most? "If anything happens, I'll protect most of you! But the degenerate males are on their own  Gonta said in response "then Gonta protect menfolk" and Amami curiously commented "awfully quiet...where are Monokuma and the Monokuma?" And Shinguji agreed "I was certain they would show up at some posts and crush us like rotten gnats" and Yonaga cheerfully sang "they probably haven't noticed yet!"

No, they probably didn't notice all of us were gone...yeah, I think this isn't going to end well at all against that thought though I said "then let's hurry up before they show up to mess with us!" 

We all climbed down into the pits of he**.

"It's more spacious than I thought it would be" Hoshi commented looking around as I cried out "yodel lay he hoo!" As I listened for any kind of echo that came from it. The others ignored me. Not that I blamed them that much "what is this place? Harakuwa asked and Tojo answered "an old industrial passageway, I suspect, perhaps factories once existed here?" Momota added "And this is ok that's left of them" and Amami called "take a look at this" he pointed towards a wooden exit sign "what a considerate sign...parent,h the end of the tunnel is the exit" that sounds like a trick....like a really dumb one to....

"Considerate? You don't think I it's weird that someone went out of their way to write exit?" Chabashira noted but Iruma clearly didn't care "don't pi** yourself in fear! your natural scent is bad enough!" Chabashira angrily rebutted "I'm not scared. And I smell just fine!" Amami then noted "well then, go on ahead no point standing around here" And Saihara agreed "oh yeah..." though she still looked concerned and Akamatsu cried out enthusiastically "no need to worry! It's looks a bit dangerous but we're all ultimates here!as long as we work together everything will work out just fine!" And Saihara the. Said to back Akamatsu up "yeah.... you're right..." I'm not sure about this...

"That's exactly what I was gonna say! We really are in the same wave length Akamatsu! Gimme a hug!" Akamatsu said awkwardly "um no, but you can call me Kaede" and Chabashira grunted "typical degenerate behavior! You were going to trick her into pressing her boobs against you!"

Everyone ended up the conversation at that point as we charged into the tunnel.

-/-/-

There were trap doors that led to freezing water, fire that erupted out of nowhere, floors that were mind fields, things shooting us out of the air, and at the end of it all...we just fell into a river current that led us back to the start. As if there was no point to begin with. To make matters worse the bear showed up and kept boasting how we were all idiots pretty much. not to mention the MigraneKubs, I mean MonoKubs.

Kaede then made us promise to be friends, I don't remember much I think I got hit to many times in the head. Almost made me think I had met Saihara somewhere before on a weird rooftop during one of my MANY blackouts.

Cages dragging us back, pits that lead only to blacking out. Anything they could think of was thrown and it only got more creative every time she made us do it. Again, and again and again. That's all she said to us as despair cling onto all of us.

"Failed again..." Gonta said "da**" Momota added "I can't go on" Shirogane said as their voices just kind of washed over me as I fought the urge to just pass it from exhaustion. Then of course she said "wait, we can't give up this time we'll- "and I interrupted her "knock it off already" she responded confused "huh?" I felt my mask slipping but I didn't care I was so tired and fed up with all of this "you're free to keep trying on your own, but forcing us to join you is basically torture" she responded hurt "torture?"

"You know what really hurts? Being definite the right to give up in an impossible situation..you won't let us give up no matter what we say you have the moral high ground..that...doesn't sound like torture to you? When you say we can't give up you're not inspiring us-your strong aiming us!" Kaede looked hurt as she responded shakily "i I didn't mean it like that...." when Chabashira responded "hey degenerate! Quit being selfish!" And I fought back saying "I... I'm not being selfish...the others feel the same way too...." Kaede looked at me confused "what? Everyone....?" But at that point I kind of dozed out of it. I... couldn't feel anything anymore.

I heard Momota cry out how we shouldn't give up when I said "we shouldn't have to push ourselves...let's just find another way out okay?" 

"What!?" Kaede said and Rantaro looked at me "you're talking about the killing ahem, aren't you?" What?! No I... stick to the plan... "oh so you gonna interpret it like that huh?" I said an easy way out while Chabashira argues with me in disgust. I didn't even care for exact wording at this point I just interpreted what she said through her annoyed voice. I laughed "calm down...want some bubble gum? You can blow some pretty big bubbles with it?" Again, no exact wording but I heard the keywords 'head smashed to ground'

"Stop guys, we shouldn't be fighting" Saihara cried out And I admit I felt a lithe guilty at that, again why am I all of a sudden caring about this though? The Mi- MonoKubs then announced nighttime and I gave no argument as I headed off to the dorms "well nothing we can do but suck it up! What's our plan for tomorrow? Since the dining hall opens at eight am how about we meet there at that time?" and Amami nodded "sure, o think that,l work I'm okay with that" as I heard the others complaints and agreements but most of us all did follow.

Who knows what awaits us tomorrow though? Probably just...more disappointment...
