All sixteen of the Super High School Level students of Orion Academy had introduced themselves to each other. Now, it was time for their wonderful Headmaster to welcome them to their wonderful school life they would face!As if out of nowhere, a puff of smoke appeared in front of the vault-esque door, and what appeared after was… what would appear to the students as a black and white teddy bear.
”No you can’t get that door open! Nobody’s getting that door open anytime soon! Think about it like a bank vault! You’re all stuck inside!” the bear told them all, waving his arms in the air.
”Oh, that reminds me, my name is Monokuma! And I’m your Headmaster here at Orion Academy!” he told them simply, before taking a few steps forward, scanning the room to look at all of them.
”I’m glad you all got introduced finally! You bastards took forever to introduce yourselves to each other! I had a wonderful opening ceremony planned in the gymnasium but you all took so long I had to scrap it all!” he shouted at them.
”All of my hard work was for nothing…” he said, letting out a sigh.
”However, I’m sure you’re all wondering what’s happening, right? Well, I’m here to tell you all about what will be happening with your school lives here at Orion Academy! Since you all have some of the greatest talents in this world, you all have a hope like no other!" he told them, pausing for a moment before continuing.
”Therefore, in order to protect and preserve the talent you all hold; you will all be living a communal lifestyle within these walls. Forever,” he said simply, looking at them all dead on. Boy, would their reactions be great!
”No more outside world! Of course, we have more than enough money to spare, you’ll all be with whatever you need or want while you live here! No more outside world to worry about!” Monokuma told them.
Monokuma paced back and forth for a moment, before eventually turning back to look at the students.
”However… in case any of you feel like leaving the school for whatever reason… I could always arrange it, as I am the Headmaster…” Monokuma said, taking a paw to his chin, looking to be deep in thought for a moment.
”Graduation!” he said abruptly, jumping up slightly, arms in the air.
”It’s a fantastic rule, the Graduation rule, let me tell you all about it! I know I’ve told you all that you need to live a nice, safe, orderly life inside our wonderful school hallways, but if someone destroys that order, they and they alone can leave the school!” he said frantically, waving his arms.
”By destroying that order, of course I mean, killing a fellow classmate,” he said slowly, letting it all sink in for the students. Monokuma stayed quiet for a moment before finally speaking again.
”Only a student who kills another student may leave. Yes, that’s the rule of Graduation! Watching all of the students of Orion Academy, some of the brightest hope, go to such despairful actions… oh, it is all much too much!” Monokuma said with a loud cackle.
”That is about all we have left for our wonderful opening ceremony! But—oh! Before you all leave, there are two last things! First, a gift to you all as new students here at Orion Academy! It is an Electronic Student Identification Card! I call it… the Electronic Student Identification Card! As I hand them out, you should all see that it has your real name displayed on the front of it, as well as our school rules,” Monokuma said before speeding through the room, handing each of the sixteen students their cards.
”Just note that breaking any of the rules is strictly forbidden! You will be punished for doing so!” he told them, before moving his arms behind his back.
”Finally, I would like to give you all a good motive, as I’m sure some of you are very excited to kick off your new school life, and some of you are most definitely excited for Graduation! As such, until a murder occurs, there will be no working locks throughout the school! Of course, the front entrance will be locked, and any door that needs to be locked WILL be locked, but dormitories will remain unlocked at all times! Except for the bathrooms though, you all have to have your private time!” Monokuma said, another laugh escaping his mouth.
”Of course, don’t think of just hiding in your bathroom forever, you’ll starve after all!” he added.
”Anyways, that concludes the Orion Academy opening ceremony! Make sure you take notice of the rules in your Electronic Student Identification Cards, and I can’t wait to see you all enjoy this School of Mutual Killing!” Monokuma told them before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
For the students who would look down at their cards, they would notice the rules were as follows:
1. The students will live a communal lifestyle with no time limit inside the school walls.
2. The time between 10pm and 7am is called “Night Time”. During Night Time there are places that are forbidden to enter, so please take care.
3. Sleeping is only permitted in the personal rooms prepared for you in the dormitory area. Anyone intentionally falling asleep elsewhere will be punished.
4. You may investigate the school as you please. There are no special restrictions on your actions.
5. No violence is permitted against the school’s headmaster, Monobear. Destruction of the surveillance cameras is forbidden.
6. A “culprit” who kills a fellow student will graduate the school. However, they must not let any other student know they are the culprit.
7. Anyone caught eating in their dormitory room will be punished.
8. Additional rules may be added by the school at any time.
Now that all of the students had been told about their new lives at Orion Academy, it would all be up to see how everything would unfold…
