Monokuma let the flood of questions take its course. However, before the creature could reply, he was picked up by the head thanks to Gwen nod fa chucked across the auditorium. Before the creature could hit the ground, it promptly exploded without warning, destroying part of the fake audience that was "watching" the students. Ryan was shocked beyond belief when he saw the bear explode, "Is... Is that it?" "Oh you'd wish for it to be [i]that[/i] easy," Monokuma's voice came from the PA System. It was then that what seemed to be a copy of the bear dropped from the ceiling, landing in the stage in front of them. At this point, Carlos was flabbergasted. Was this just some elaborate prank? That had to be it. Their families were probably behind this whole thing. But no. This seemed too real. If it was a prank, they wouldn't have had an exploding bear be part of it. "What are you?" Carlos asked, trying to remain his composure, "This isn't... Mundane." "I already told you brats that already!" Monokuma spat, "I'm Monokuma! But you could call me the Angel of Hope or the Devil of Despair! Any guesses why they call me that?" He pointed to his half-white, half-black face before pacing around the stage. "First off, you," Monokuma pointed at Isis, "You seem cold as ice! I like you! Upupupupu! Second! I don't think you have to worry about your parents being involved or anyone else for that matter! But... If one of you survives, that'll be your discovery the ! Aren't I generous?" He then turned to Gwen, "I think it's time I lay down the ground rules here! But first off, no harming the head master! One more stunt like that and we'll be enjoying the meal of lobotomy tonight! Got it?!" "There's sixteen of us and it seems like only one of you can be out at a time, er, Sir!" Ryan added in a formal way of speaking since Monokuma was supposedly their Dean, "Why can't we just take you down?" "Does this look like Assassination a Classroom to you?!" Monokuma shot back, "You will be killed on the spot! That got you bastards's attention? If so, I'll be going over the rules to my little game!" The bear remembered one of the students asking if it was a game to him or not. Well, he could say that.
