2| Play By The Rules
Misaki's Pov.
I opened my electronic student handbook as everything about me was written in my profile, that was cool.
"How did it go, Asahina?" I asked the tanned haired girl as she shook her head in reply while I let out a sigh.
"Ohwada?" I called him as he also shook his head but he kept kicking the principal's table for some clues.
We were looking for clues to get out but, it isn't that easy to find one here...I'm starting to feel uneasy as I unconsciously bit my nail.
"--Let's not lose hope, a clue is bound to appear before us that will help us to get out of here!" The oh-so perfect Ishimaru yelled as I rolled my eyes.
"Then let's go search the place," I suggested as I wanted to travel on my own route without someone nagging me continuously.
"--I'll go by myself," Togami said making the others gasped by his words.
"--Why?!" Enoshima asked while she frowned at the glasses boy.
"--There's a chance that someone here might already be planning to kill," He has a point there, what a smart ass.
Togami started to walk out of the gym as Ohwada stepped in front of him with his swagger, how irritating.
"I wouldn't let you go while doing something selfish as that!"
"Move aside, plankton."
"What's that? Looks like you want a nice beating,"
"--Wait a minute, what's fighting among us gonna achieve?" There he goes, Naegi shoot up some pretty words as I sigh while watching them.
"You say pretty words, tryin' to lecture me? Think that you can tell me what I can do?!"
"--That's not what I mean!"
"--That does it!" 'How troublesome.' I run up to them as I held Ohwada's mighty fist with my bare hands.
"Does beating someone smaller than you satisfies you? How uncool," I huffed as I let go of his hand as it dropped to his side.
"--Damn you, acting so high and mighty!" I didn't expect him to go a punch again, I shut my eyes closed waiting for the impact but nothing came, I opened my eyes and saw...
...Naegi took the blow that is meant for me, he collapsed at the ground, damn that's gonna hurt.

Naegi's Pov.
My eyes fluttered open and saw the bright ceiling bestowed at me, my vision was starting to clear as I saw a blue haired girl beside me.
"Misaki...san?" No, that's not here, it was Maizono-san instead.
"Unfortunately, I'm not. Did you want to see Misaki-san instead? I'm shock!"
I quickly sat up flustered as my cheeks were bright red, I maintained my uptight sitting posture.
"Maizono-san...what are you doing here?" I asked her as I was feeling groggily because I just woke up.
"I was waiting for you to wake up, as for Misaki-san, she's with the others." She said as I nodded in reply, 'Is that so...she should've at least checked if I was alright.' I shrugged from the thought as I faced Miyazono-san.
"Um...where are we?"
"Your room, we have each our own room and then I had Ohgami-san and the others to carry you,"
"Where's Misaki-san and everyone else right now?"
"They all split up to look for clues, for me I was worried about you though,"
"T-Thanks..." 'I never thought she would've remembered who I was.'
"But I do remember,"
"How did you...know?"
"I'm an esper, you know."
"What do you mean?"
"Just kidding, it was mg intuition!" I let out a nervous laugh, 'Man, she's too sharp.'
"I'm really glad to see someone familiar here,"
"Y-Yeah," I blushed furiously as I stood up from my bead while she looked at me worriedly.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, I cannot be the only one who is resting right now,"
"You're right, guess I'll be a Super Duper High School Assistant!"
"Huh?"
"I'm your assistant, let's do our best to get out of here!"
"Yeah," 'Her hands are really warm.'

We entered the dinning are where everyone was at as I took my seat next to Ohwada-kun who was kind of pissed.
"My bad, Naegi."
"I-It's okay, Ohwada-kun. Given to this situation it's no surprise that we'd be on edge."
Our dialogue ended just right there, then I noticed that he seemed to be focused on to something, I turned to see myself as he was staring at Misaki-san who was beside Ishimaru-kun and Kirigi-san.
It seemed to be that Misaki-san hasn't noticed to the fact she was looking at her nails, some of us noticed that Ohwada-kun was staring at her but how couldn't she?
"I declare to open the first regular meeting of Hope's Peak Academy! Let's exchange the results of our investigation and see what we've all come up with!" Ishimaru-kun announced as the meeting has opened.
"I tried to destroy the entrance but it's impossible, that thing is hard as steel." Ohwada-kun stated.
"Are you an idiot or something? Of course it is made of steel," Misaki-san shot back as some of us chuckled while in my surprise Ohwada-kun didn't made a fuse.
"--We found a staircase to the second floor at the hallways,"
"--But there was a shutter blocked,"
"Ahem, this means we can only check out the first floor!" Misaki-san said.
"--Correct, at least for now that's what we can check, maybe that could be opened in the near future." Kirigiri-san stated as we nodded in her idea.
"--The beds are comfy, but there are surveillance cameras and steel plates...it's kind of uncomfortable."
"--The fridge was full of food, that's one less thing worry."
"--But who knows how long that's gonna last with us 16 here,"
"Hey, aren't ya listening to what that stuffed toy saying earlier? They say that they have huge budget that means the food is being replaced everyday," Misaki-san reasoned out as Fujisaki-san nodded in her reasoning.
"--Just like Misaki-san said, Monokuma told me that the fridge is being refilled everyday."
"--You met him?!"
"--He suddenly showed up when I was checking the fridge out and vanished,"
"Ahem, is there someone gonna report, Misaki-san?"
"I haven't found anything interesting but, I did found this." She said and showed a electronic student handbook.
"--Who's the owner of that handbook?"
"Beats me, I can't open it—it has a code on, is there anyone familiar with this?" She asked as she showed the phone but we shook our heads and stole glances to each other.
"No one here is in possession of this, huh? I'll keep it just in case." With that, she put it inside her pockets.
"--We've found neither an exit nor the culprit, your investigations were all meaningless."
"--But we managed to confirm that we've been trapped without a door,"
"--What are we supposed to do?!"
"--You heard what Monokuma said, if you want to be free, kill someone."
When Togami-kun said that, it made us all tense, some were kind of scared to that undeniable fact.
"--Stop with that joke!"
"--Isn't there is gotta be something else we can do!"
"--We just need to adapt,"
"--You accept that we'll have to be living here?!"
"It's not the strong or smart that survive but this who can bring about change, do you understand?" Celes-san said as everyone was now in silence, groaning to that fact.
"Hey guys, the school rules mentioned something about Night Time, so let's a rule in here!" Misaki-san said as she stood up while explaining.
"What kind of rule?" I asked curiously as I just kept my eyes on her.
"No one would go out of their rooms during the night, got it?!"
"--Huh? Why?"
"Don't you get it? If we don't add that rule, one of you guys will be cowering during the night worrying that someone might kill you, no?" She said as we gasped, she was right...how can she be this smart?
"Not that I can be sure that all of you will upheld that rule, so I'll be asking for you people to cooperate—that's if you don't want to die." She said.
=••=••=••=••=••=••=••=••=••=••=••=
Misaki's Pov.
We begun to search for the exit and some clues but haven't found at least one as time passed by like it was nothing.
"--Jeez, we're not gonna find any clues just by looking in the same places over and over!" Kuwata said while scratching his hair as we sigh.
"--Are we going to be trap here forever? Can't we get out of here?" Fujisaki said as she begun to cry, somehow I'm kind of suspicious of her, y'know—because of her voice!
"Don't think like that, Fujisaki. We will get out of here, just wait." I said as I was trying to get this electronic phone to work.
'Just what the heck is the code?!' I gritted my teeth while tapping my nails on the screen.
"Misaki-san is right, it won't be long now until we get rescued."
"--Someone is rescuing us?"
"--Really?!"
I lift my head and faced Asahina while I raised my eyebrow at the news, 'Is that even true...?' I huffed as I kept listening anyways.
"It's been 3 days since we got locked up here, the cops have to do something!" She said as I sighed to her boring reasoning, 'These people are narrow minded, huh?'
"Nah, I don't think so...Monokuma is serious about this kind of activity to the fact that steel plates and surveillance camera are surrounding this places, even if they reached this place the entrance has a code, you know." I said as they were utterly dumbfound, staring to me as if I'm someone who's that great.
"Think about it, why would Monokuma and his gang, if he has one, would go this far to fill the place with steel plates and food? He thought about this carefully even the cops can't stop this ridiculous activity." I finished as they finally understand.
"Your really smart Misaki-san, I was now wondering why your title is Super Duper High School Musician."
He appeared again, that damned stuffed bear, he was standing on the table while laughing hysterically. He can do anything he wants easily, huh?
"If you want to leave that badly, them go ahead and kill someone!"
Some of us were shivering in fear as I looked at the bear with seriousness, he really pissed me off to no ends.
"You guys sure have balls, that's kinda boring."
"It doesn't matter how much you try to provoke us, we are not gonna—" Naegi was cut off by Monokuma as he slammed his fist on his palm, as if he thought of a good idea.
"I get it and I was wondering why no one is killing someone despite you guys have the location, characters and setting from a mystery novel." 'Mystery novel? Does he think we're in fiction?'
"But I finally know what was missing all this time!" 'Oh...I get it now what his trying to say.'
"--Stop messing with us!"
"--What is missing?!"
"Basically, a motive." I said as all eyes on me while I folded my arms as I heard that damn bear laughed.
"Pupupu, bingo! I left a gift for all of you on the AV room." 'Gift...can it, the motive his trying to say?'
"--Gift?"
"--What do you mean?!"
"--I don't remember that my birthday was today though,"
"Let's go to the AV room, pupu~"
We stepped out of the dinning are and walked to the designated location.
"You're really smart, Misaki-san!" Naegi said with a smile on his face.
"Naegi-kun is right, your amazing Misaki-san!" Miyazono agreed.
"Not really, you people are just simpleton...I suggest that you should think carefully of how you act." I warned them, it was true...there way of thinking is oblivious.
"Well...I can't say your that bad, so I can't clearly judge you." I said with a blush on my face, I'm trying to be nice, so what?!
"Hey Misaki-san, what do you think of the gift that Monokuma said?" Asahina asked as she ran beside me.
"Probably the motive to help us kill each other...I couldn't think of anything except that." I truthfully said.
Somehow...I have a bad feeling about this, I wonder why...?
