Chapter 11

I'm gonna start tone down the updates for a while. I'm busy with my new naruto fanfic (go check it out)

Hiro "Well, first, I'll explore this place, to see exactly what we were given to live with. I'll try and find exactly where we are, and if there is a way out. The results of my exploration will decide my future actions"

Ishimaru " He's right! There are times where we must push forward, no matter how frightening or uncomfortable the situation is. How could I forget something so fundamental!?"

Aoi"Shouldn't we check the rules in the e-handbooks first?"

Celestia "I agree. We wouldn't want our ignorance to cause another of Monokuma's... punishments"

Junko"Then, let's check out these stupid rules already,"

with no one having any objections, everyone opened up their e-handbooks and review the rules. Jason opened up his e-handbook, and firstly was greeted by his name on the screen, before the main menu appeared. In the main menu were options of:

Profile

School Regulations

Map

Camera

Notes

Hiro ( decided that I'll check out the other options later, for now, let's look at the school regulations)

Rule No. 1: Students are to live their lives together within the school.

Rule No. 2: 10 PM to 7 AM is considered as "nighttime". There will be a few areas that will be off-limits during this time, so please be cautious.

Rule No. 3: Sleeping is only allowed in the dormitory. The deliberate use of any other room for sleeping purposes will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.

Rule No. 4: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.

Rule No. 5: Violence against the headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is the destruction of the surveillance cameras and monitors.

Rule No. 6: Anyone who kills a fellow student will be allowed to graduate unless they are discovered.

Rule No. 7: Additional rules may be added if deemed necessary.

After he finished reading the rules, three rules caught his attention but knowing what they mean from the game I'll just ignore them.

Mondo "This is bullshit! What the hell kind of rules are these!? I'm not gonna let them control ME!"

Celeste "well then, Why don't you wander around the school without a care in the world and see what happens? Personally, I would love to see what happens when someone breaks the rule."

Hifumi "B-But, if he gets punished like what we saw before, I don't think there'd be a respawn waiting for him."

Mondo "When I was still a kid, I grew up with my older Brother pounding into my head... When a man makes a promise, he keeps his promises, even if it kills him..."

Junko "...So what?"

"I've made a lot of promises that I need to keep, "So what"!!! So I can't afford to die in here!!"

Celestia "I could hardly make any sense of that, but can I presume that you will be following the rules?"

Mondo "Yeah... I guess so."

Sayaka "Guys, I have a question. It's about Rule No. 6. What do you think it means?"

Mokoto "You're talking about the second half, right? Where it says "unless they are discovered"? I was wondering about that myself."

Byakuya "It's saying that if you want to graduate, you have to kill someone without anyone finding out it was you."

Toko " B-But why...? Why do we h-have to do that?"

Hiro " I can think of two reasons: one being the bear is trying to simulate a real-life scenario where when killing someone you go to court or he is just doing it for fun"

Byakuya " I don't see any reason to worry about it. Just worry about following the rules as they've been explained to us."

Hiro " He is right, Frankly, I don't want to hear anything from someone who waits for others to decide what to do for them. Just do what you want."

Byakuya " still the word right out my mouth"

Toko " D-Don't jab at me..."

Leon " More like a full-on stab..."

Aoi "Well, for now, let's forget all that silly junk about murderers or whatever. Now that we know the rules, let's start exploring the school"

Ishimaru "True. We need to find out where exactly we are. Is there any way out? What about food and supplies? There are tons of questions we need to answer!"

Leon "Damn straight! Okay, then let's all start looking around!"

Byakuya "...I'll be going alone."

Hiro "Me too"

Junko "What!? Why? Don't you two see that's a pretty stupid idea, think for a minute."

Hiro "We are thinking straight, someone here might already have started thinking about murdering one of us. Are you saying we should stand around with them Among Us and make it that much easier for them? You guys need to be more realistic."

Sayaka " W-Wait, hold on a second. That would never--!"

Byakuya "Don't bother saying it couldn't happen. You can't deny the possibility. That's why you all seized up with fear when that graduation rule was made clear to you. Am I wrong?"

Hiro " On second thought Miss Fukawa would you like to accompany me around the school, on this lovely evening."

Toko [AAAAAAA nobody ever invites me out like that, he is handsome to boot. I wonder if I smell alright.]

Toko "All r..right"

Byakuya "Disgusting... Well, I'm simply acting in accordance with what I think is best for me."

Mondo "Hold on! Like hell, I'm gonna let you run off and do whatever you want!"

Byakuya "Out of my way, plankton."

Mondo "Wh--!? The fuck's that supposed to mean!?"

Byakuya "One tiny bit of plankton, drifting across the sea. So minuscule, so insignificant, they couldn't possibly have any kind of influence on the boundless ocean."

Mondo " I'm gonna kick your ass!"

Mokoto "S-Stop it! We shouldn't fight!"

Mondo "The fuck you just say? You some kinda goody-goody little bitch? Who do you think you are, talkin' to me like that? You think you're my fuckin' dad or something!?"

Mokoto "N-No, I wasn't--!"

Mondo "Fuck you!"

*Wham, Mokoto got punch*

I could resits myself self I walk to his unconscious body look at his face.

Hiro "Dammmmmmmmm you got to knock the fuck out"(Anyone can tell me where that from)

Hiro "well then miss Fukawa lets start with going through the classroom"

Everyone goes their own way whether it be alone or in groups.

*Time skip*

As we were heading back and of course Ishimaru was running ahead of us, we hear him shout.

Ishimaru"Ah, Makoto, Sayaka! So you two got here first, huh?" Too bad... I was sure I'd beat everyone here. I guess that just means I don't have enough fighting spirit yet! Well, I won't give up! Next time, I swear I'll win no matter what it takes! Justice shall always prevail!"

Sayaka "That's a bit much, don't you think?"

And soon after that everyone came strolling in one after another. After a few minutes, everyone had found a seat and gathered in the dining hall.

Ishimaru "Okay! It looks like everyone's here. Time to start the meeting! Let's all go around and share what we found during our respective investigations! The sooner we find out what's going on, the sooner we get out of here!"

Junko "Wait, hold on a sec!"

Ishimaru "What's wrong!?"

Junko " What about, uh...what's her name? You know, the silver-haired girl. Uh...oh yeah, Kyoko!"

Ishimaru "...What about her?"

Junko "She is not here"

Ishimaru "What!!"

Aoi "I wonder where she went. Has anyone seen her?"

Hiro "well I did saw her at the corner of my eye, I think she was going to the main hall"

Ishimaru "Darn it Kyoko! You're really going to be late like this on the first day of school!? Not only is she late, but she also didn't tell anyone she would be late! A most unbecoming personality trait..."

Junko "You're being a real jackass right now, you know that?"

Hiro "what you want him to do he is bound by his talent "

Ishimaru "Now then let's stop the bickering, I declare that the first session of the Hope's Peak Academy briefing meetings has begun!"

Hiro [At the corner of my eye I see a strange love-Dovey atmosphere between Mokoto and Sayaka]

Sayaka "Okay Mokoto, so since you're in the dark about all this, let me lay out what's been going on. Everyone split up to investigate different parts of the building, but... Byakuya and Taka each went off on their own, and so did Kyoko. It looks like Leon, Junko, and Chihiro all grouped up together. The same goes for Hina, Sakura, and Mondo. Then there the last two groups Hiro and Toko, Celeste and Hifumi "

Mokoto "Lets start with Byakuya"

Byakuya "I wanted to try and find some clue as to who's responsible for imprisoning us here... But unfortunately, I made no such discoveries. That's all from me..."

Ishimaru " Really? That's it?"

Byakuya " If I'd uncovered anything, naturally I would have more to say. But I didn't. So I don't."

Ishimaru "R-Right, understood..."

Mokoto "What about you taka"

Ishimaru " I spent some time looking around the dormitory, and... There I made the discovery of the century! I found that there was exactly one room for each person!"

Aoi "Well yeah, I figured that our before anything else..."

Junko "Each door already has a nameplate on it, so I guess all the rooms have been assigned already"

Sayaka "And each room key was attached to a keychain with the owner's name precision-etched onto it."

Junko "And Chihiro and I found out that all the rooms are totally soundproof"

Chihiro " Your next-door neighbor could scream their lungs out, and you wouldn't hear a thing..."

(AN: Alright not to be disrespectful full but I don't think everyone needs to hear all of them talk so much. I was doing it because I wanted to rise the word over 1,000 but I have long passed that. I'm tired because I'm currently making this at 1 in the morning. If you guys want me to always do all the dialogue just say so.)

*time skip*

Mokoto " well at least we made progress with the Map, what about you hiro and Toko"

Toko "You guys finally remember us, I felt like I didn't exist"

Mokoto "S-sorry"

Toko "Well it don't matter because Hiro found out the most useful thing"

Hiro "Yes, we found one of the three things: One being the mastermind gender, age, and weakness. Base on the way the Bear acts and reacts to so some of our conversation with it, we can assume the mastermind is female and around our age. Her weakness is that she is human too and there only so much a human can do. That's all I will say on the matter"

Mokoto "Wow"

Ishimaru "Amazing that what we needed, keep up the good work and we might get out of here."

With that everyone went back to there room

I have a schedule on how I'm gonna upload chapters only one per week. I'm busy with school and It takes time to write and fix spelling.

Now for some self-promotion, I already got 4 chapters ahead so don't worry about not having chapters.

Follow my Instagram @yourshadowsenpai where to post updates on how the novel is going and you can DM me ideas and I'll see if I can fit them into the novel.
