Because you believed in me,
another path opened up

       Kokichi dragged everyone back to the main building despite everyone complaining about how stressed out and tired they were. The lilac haired male giggled as he led everyone to Makis Ultimate Lab, turning to her he demanded, "Open it."

      Maki debated whether to open it or suckerpunch Kokichi, she in the end gripped onto her keycard. Opening it for everyone to walk into, there on the walls were weapons stacked upon weapons. The dark gloomy room reeked of iron, Maki flashed on the lights. "Is this what you wanted to see?"

      "What the hell is this?!" Kaito cried out. He almost fainted at the door if it weren't for Rantaro who unfortunately was behind the taller male. (A/N: Damn idk this guys height— they all look tall to me)

     "It's almost like a warehouse for weapons"

     Kokichi from the front of the group grinned, extending his arms. "Seeee, i told you! Maki wasn't she's not really the super highschool level Childcare Worker! In fact shes the Super High School Level Assassin"

   "Can i take one of these for myself?" I asked, picking up a sword. Everyone flashed me a look of disappointment, "Well?"

    Kirumi sighed, "Y/N, swords are not toys.."

    "Don't be an idiot." Maki walked over to me and gripped onto the sword i had in my hand, she walked past the group and everyone either stepped back or balled their hands. "You'll injure yourself, put it down."

    "Pleaseeee? I won't break it!"

     Maki snickered a little before giving me back the sword, "I'll teach you sometime..."

    "Wait, Kokichi--" Shuichi brought all the attention onto Kokichi. "how did you even figure this out? There's no way for you without you going inside her Ultimate Lab..."

    "No silly! Don't you remember 50 chapters back when we had that failed motive video thingy? I had everyones motive videos, watching them was so easy~"

     "That little..." Kaito raised a hand to wipe his sweaty chin. Kokichi explained the whole situation as Maki played with her hair, embarrassed. I placed a hand on her shoulder as some sort of comfort. After some time she removed my hand as everyone started trailing out of her lab.

     "You're not going with them...?" She asked when she noticed it was only me and her left inside her Ultimate Lab.

     "I thought you were going to teach me how to use one of these?"

     "Oh...You mean right now?"

     "I also wanted to talk with Y/N.." Rantaro peaked his head inside through the door. "I mean it can wait and all, but i think you might want to hear this..."

      Time slowed down once again and a white bar line showed up with, 'Hang out with Maki' or 'Hang out with Rantaro'. Monokuma sure wants me to make hard decisions huh...

'HANG OUT WITH MAKI'

      Slapping the button, I spun around to Rantaro and apologized, he waved his hands. "I'll just wait for you to finish. Who knows, maybe I can learn a few things."

      Maki looked at the door and back to us, sighing she picked up two swords and handed it to us, it was much heavier than what i expected, however i managed to hold it properly in my hands.

     "I'll teach you how to properly hold the sword and how to block for now... only now. When Kaito and Shuichi come later tonight you both have to get out."

     "Woah, what are you three doing?"

     "....Keep quiet pretty boy." Maki moved my hands and spread my legs further apart. My body was now in a defensive position. She showed me how to swing it and how to properly hold it so i wouldn't break my wrists. Her hands on my waist and guiding my arms, she moved onto Rantaro.

     "Do we fight each other now?"

     Makis eyes flashed red at my question, "Do you want to die?"

     "Yes."

     "Oh..." She looked from the ground and back to me upset, carefully grabbing the sword out our hands and putting them on the racks she explained, "It was a rhetorical question... don't do anything to yourself idiot.." She handed me my bag and started opening up her door, "I need to meet up with them in a few moments... besides, you two said you needed to have an important conversation."

     "Will we get to do this again? I had fun!" I encouraged the assassin, she sighed nodding before walking away. "Sorry about that Rantaro, what did you have that was so important?"

     "We cant talk out here in the open..."

     "We can't really talk anywhere with the cameras and audio recordings..."

     Rantaro grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the nearest classroom. He barricaded the door with the first few chairs and tables. Hauling myself up onto a random desk, he looked at me worriedly.

     "I figured out my Ultimate.." He confessed, already knowing that I needed to act as surprised as I could.

    "Did you?"

    "Hmm, Maybe i should give you a proper introduction?" He cleared his throat before sending me a soft smile, "My name is Rantaro Amami. The Ultimate Survivor, trust me, I'm not a bad guy."

(Gifs are hard to make,
sorry! Next time I'll make it)

I clapped for him, "When did you remember your talent?"

"...Funny confession, it was in my video...  decided not to show you it fully because i couldn't trust you at first..." He lowered his head in shame, bowing he gave me a light laugh, "Forgive me Y/N..."

"It's fine, I wouldn't trust myself if I were you too.."

"Can I borrow your jornal?"

"Of course!" Rummaging through my bag, I finally pulled out the jornal and handed it to him. It was a little beat up anyways... maybe i could use that new one Monokuma gave me.

Rantaro started to scribble something quick before bookmarking it and placing the book on my head as a joke. "Dont read this until you're by yourself. I'll see you tomorrow!"

He walked off humming a strange song, disappearing from my sight... Sighing, my body ached from the lack of sleep. Walking over to my dorm room, I pulled out Kaedes Key.

Unlocking the door, I was finally let in. I threw my things on the ground, too tired to take a shower, I threw myself on my bed. My body relaxed as I lazily picked up the notebook. Opening it carefully so the pen doesn't fall on my face I stopped in fear. I almost dropped the book on my face, I rubbed my eyes, hoping my eyes weren't deceiving me, I looked down at it again....

Splattered in all caps it said....

"I know how to stop the mastermind."
