(Kuro's PoV)

Ding Dong!

I woke up to bells ringing. I got up and rubbed my eyes to see a screen right in my face. "Ah!" I fell off my bed. "Gooooooood morning students. Get ready for an exciting day. Go and eat breakfast for it is the most important meal of the day!" Monkomi said and then the screen disappeared. I slightly groaned and got up. I went to the closet to see many copies of my clothes plus copies of my pajamas.

I grabbed one and quickly changed. I grabbed my hat that was on the nightstand next to my bed and placed it on my head and walked out of my dorm. I went to the dining room where I met Toshiaki, Minami and Kazuno to see that the majority of my classmates were already there. They seemed to be discussing something.

"I'm telling y'all, I doubt that there would just be an exit just lying around here," Amy pointed out. "Oh really? That's what they want us to think," Minami snapped. Kazuno tried to calm them down but was failing and she looked frustrated. Hirohito was having a casual conversation with Uyeda while Toshiaki was drumming with the spoons again. Ichigo was balancing a pineapple on top of cereal boxes while Yuki was watching nearby, looking like he was praying. Probably praying that the pineapple wouldn't fall on him. Kana was uninterested in whatever was going on. Sora was speaking with Jun, something about doing exercise together to be in shape. Rin was also trying to help Kazuno but was also short on luck.

Where's the Ultimate Lucky Student when you need them?

"Oh hello Kuro. Thank goodness you're here, we're trying to have a normal conversation but as you can see," Rin gestured around but I got the message. I sat down and put my arms out and rested my head on them, still looking at my classmates. "Ichigo I think you should not add more boxes to that," Yuki said. "But I want to make the world's tallest cereal box tower!" She whined and continued stacking boxes before placing the pineapple on top of it. Yuki didn't looked that happy and gave the boxes a frighten look.

"Do you really want to get stuck here forever?! We all have families and friends out there, like what the hell are you really that heartless?!" Amy shouted, grabbing Minami's shirt collar. "Hey no need to get physical!" Kazuno shouted back, trying to separate them. "I'm trying to be realistic here! We have no proof, no way of getting home. Of course things are going to look hopeless!" Minami snapped. "Y-you two. Just try to calm down...,"

"Shut Up Rin!"

"Yeah it's none of your business!"

Both Amy and Minami yelled at her.

Things were looking chaotic with the others stop what they were doing and were going to help calm them down but after both girls snapped at Rin, looked frightened to step in. Except for Ichigo, who was still balancing the pineapple on the cereal boxes.

Two objects got fling at Amy and Minami. A coin hit Amy on the side of her cheek and a card hit Minami's forehead. They bounced back to their original owner.

"Just stop fighting. Or else."

It was Robin and the aura in his eyes was dark and frightening. Both girls turned pale and scooted away from each other, both were still giving each other death stares. "Phew. Thank you Robin," Rin sighed. "I never thought those two would ever stop fighting," Kazuno said. "Uhh excuse me but we're still here," Minami said, folding her arms. "Do you seriously want to die?" Robin asked and the temperature went cold. Amy raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't," she said. Robin got closed to her and said, "Maybe you're right. Maybe I wouldn't directly kill you but maybe in a past life, I would have. Right here and then." His tone changed into a creepy and low voice. Amy shivered and turned away from him. "Good. That's what I thought," Robin's tone turned back to his friendly, regular tone. He smiled and walked to sit down next to Yuki.

"Hey Big Bro, Robin. What's up with the coin and card?" Yuki asked. Robin took them out and placed them on the table. "I don't know. Maybe it's a clue to my talent," he said. I perked up to this. "Interested are you Kuro?" Robin chuckled. "...maybe," I said, softly. "Ooh maybe you're the Ultimate Collector," Yuki suggested. "Maybe an Ultimate Gambler," I suggested, hoping to be at use. Robin smiled sadly at us. "Both seem good talents but I don't know. Doesn't seem right to me," he said. "Maybe the Ultimate Creep," Minami muttered. Unfortunately for her, Robin heard and flicked the coin at her face. It bounced back to him. "Ow! What the hell?" Minami cried but this time Robin ignored her. Moriyo poked her head out from the corner. "Is the drama over?" She asked.

Rin turned to look at her. "Where you just standing there the whole time?" She asked. "Hey it didn't seem safe from the two girls arguing," Moriyo pointed out. "Meh, she has a point," Ichigo grabbed another cereal box. "So almost everyone is here?" Hirohito asked. "I think we're only missing Toshino," Sora replied. "Good we can start without him," Amy said. "Finally something we can agree on," Minami huffed. "We can't start without him. There has to be sixteen of us to discuss what are we going to do to get out of here," Rin pointed out. "I do not mean to be rude but I believe that we're better off without him," Sora said. "But he's one of our classmates," Rin said. "Yeah but he doesn't seem helpful to us at all," Amy said...just as Toshino walked in. "Who's not helpful?" He asked. Everyone went quiet. Even Amy and Minami, who seem to hate him the most. Everyone avoided his eyes except me. Nobody seemed to be talking though and Toshino seemed to be waiting for an answer.

"We were just talking about getting out of here," I explained quietly. "Hmm I see then," Toshino said. This struck me as odd because from what little information I know about him, Toshino would most likely say something about how futile that plan would turn out to be. "Well since all of you were just standing here arguing, I actually did some poking around and found this," he waved a piece of paper around. "Eh? What's that?" Yuki asked. "A brochure idiot," Toshino explained, rolling his eyes at the young wizard.

"A brochure? For what?" Kazuno asked. "Hope's Peak Academy," Toshino replied. ! Hope's Peak? "Why is there a brochure for Hope's Peak?" Jun asked. "Oh I dunno. Maybe it's because we're inside of Hope's Peak," Toshino said. "Wait really? But it doesn't look like the pictures," Moriyo said. "According to here, Hope's Peak has many installations around Japan and around the world. Apparently, we're in installation eight," Toshino explained, opening the brochure and pointed to a section. "But why are we even here? I remember stepping foot in the first installation before blacking out," Amy pointed out.

Huh?

"That....happened to you too?" I asked. Amy turned to me in surprise. "Hold up, the last thing I remember before waking up in the nurse's office was that I stepped through Hope's Peak door. But then I got knocked out and I ended up here," Uyeda explained. Soon after that, everyone began to explain what happened to them. It had the same cycle. They entered Hope's Peak one way or another and then as soon as they stepped in, they would get knocked out and brought here. "But for what reason?" Ichigo asked, hugging the pineapple. "That I don't have any information about. I didn't explore enough sadly," Toshino said. "Then why don't we all explore the place. We might get some answers there," Rin suggested.

"That's not a bad idea. Come on Moriyo let's go!" Kazuno said. "Ah ok!" Moriyo said, cheerfully. The two girls walked off to an opposite direction. "Hey Big Bro Robin, can we explore together?" Yuki asked. "Sure why not," Robin said. "I'd rather be on my own," Minami muttered. "Nope! You're with me!" Ichigo said and dragged Minami out of there. "Jun and I will be exploring together if nobody does not mind," Sora said. "Do as you please or whatever," Toshino muttered. "Hey Hirohito, Uyeda, come on let's explore together!" Toshiaki shouted happily. "S-sure," stuttered Hirohito while Uyeda just nodded. "Well I have already explored but I guess it doesn't hurt to do more exploring," Toshino said and walked off. "Guess I'm with Kana," Amy said and both girls walked in the opposite direction of Toshino. "Well I guess we're exploring together," Rin said to me. "I suppose so," I said. Rin doesn't seem like a bad person to be around, I thought as we got up and went exploring.
