she looked genuinely terrified, her eyes wide and her posture tense ."Uehara-kun, can you please go away?" she uttered, her voice barely above a whisper, trembling with unease. My heart sank. I had thought that time might have healed the wounds between us, but her reaction told me otherwise. I decided to comfort her but she said out loud "Please, Leave me alone." Haruhiko and Satsuki hear Kanata so they come closer to know the situation. "What did you do, Uehara?" Haruhiko asked me which made me confused "What? I didn't even do anything?!" "Just leave her alone, Kinji. For now..." Satsuki recommended me... to stay away? Well, fine.

I walked away from them and decided to go to the gym on my own. It felt like we might be back in a killing game, but the setting was different this time. As I looked around the corner, I finally found it. I took a moment to gather my thoughts before stepping inside. When I entered the gym, everyone turned to stare at me. Why did it seem like they were judging me?

I moved to the side of the gym, seeking a quiet spot to collect my thoughts away from the bustling crowd. I noticed a young high school girl walking towards me. She had her hair split into pigtails, with two pink eighth-note hair clips attached to each side. "Hey, Brother, why aren't you with the others?" She asks me. Why is she talking to me? "Nothing" I reply. "Oh, where is my manners? I'm Kanade Otonokoji, Super High School Level Guitarist. I hope we can get along." Kanade introduces herself. Is she planning something? and I also introduce myself to her to avoid being rude. "Kinji Uehara, The Ultimate Priest."

As time passes, we talk to keep from getting bored. She carried on the discussion for the most part, despite my attempts to end it because I didn't want to talk to anyone. If I'm being honest, if I didn't know her true nature, I would've lowered my guard down. Also, where the heck is Teruya?

Yamato's POV

"What the hell is this? Another killing game, even in death? I mean, this can be the only explanation on why we're back in this place. This is bullshit. I hope I'm just dreaming because why..." As I continued to think, I didn't even notice that Mikako is behind me. Mikako poked me and said, "You look like you're at the dumbfounded moment again" "I'm sorry, Mikako, it's just that-" Before I could continue, we heard Mitch and the boxer dude going to the podium searching for something? "So, did you two see something?" Kizuna asked them. "What are they doing now" Nikei said in annoyance. "Nothing here" Mitch said as he lifted the podium and before putting it down. "I think they're searching for Monokuma to pop up and for them to beat up, I don't know." Ayame replies to Nikei's question.

3rd POV

Satsuki, Haruhiko, and Kanata entered the gym and saw many unfamiliar faces. "Hey, we don't know their names and they don't know what our names are! We should introduce ourselves." Satsuki stated and made the decision to approach the group who have singers, actors, and boxer man in order to introduce themselves and get to know them. "Hajime Makunouchi, Ultimate Boxer. Nice to meet you" said by young man with a muscular build, peach-ish red eyes that are covered by a pair of black sunglasses, and somewhat tanned skin. "Emma Magorobi, Ultimate Actress." said by young woman with a tall stature and a fairly white complexion. One of them is hesitant to introduce their selves but eventually does "Hibiki Otonokoji, Ultimate Vocalist, Nice to meet you I guess..." said by a young high school girl with a short stature and fair skin. "Satsuki Iranami, Ultimate Clown! Nice to meet you three!" Satsuki exclaimed as she introduced herself. "Wow, who wouldn't know" Hibiki replied sarcastically.

"Well, nice to meet you guys! Well, better meet the others" Before Satsuki could even take a walk, Hibiki held her arms to stop her "Are you going to...her" Hibiki pointed her finger to Kanade. "Yeah, why?" Satsuki noticed Hibiki's intense eyes "Don't, it will ruin your life" Hajime and Emma are confused, they knew that Kanade is crazy whack but is there anything that they missed because they died before witnessing it?

On another side of the gym, Yamato heard Kanata saying, "I'm going to stay strong. I'll survive. I'll make it out of here without losing myself. I'll find a way. I will not fall into despair." Yamato couldn't shake the feeling of hope he felt seeing his classmate maintain such optimism, even in a situation like this. It appeared that she and Kakeru were together. "I do hope we can get along, even though I know some of us still hold grudges against each other," Mikako laughed. "I hope so too," Yamato replied.

Monokuma suddenly comes out from the podium. "Oh, how much I miss you, my 79th students!" Monokuma said to them and continues, "The class that was handled Monocrow... nice to meet you all! You'll be joining our 79th class to play this game. Again." They stare at Monokuma, who just appeared out of now where and is analyzing their faces, most of them are angry and also is analyzing their faces, most of them are angry and also who is analyzing their faces, most of them are angry while the others are shock and the others are annoyed that this is happening again to them.

"Now, what the hell is this?" Yamato shouted. "Didn't I just say it? We're doing this again! Another killing game!" Monokuma laughs. "Why are you still doing this? Aren't you getting tired of us?" Mitch said, "I am but hey! if y'all are playing my game then me getting annoyed at you guys are decreasing as I enjoy you people are killing each other!" Monokuma said. "So, it's like back then, you guys need to investigate, I give the motive and you kill and doing it all over again until someone graduates." Monokuma announce to the group.

"We will never, ever take part in your games. Never again!" Ayame concluded. "Huh, you won't do it?" Monokuma asked them. "Do you really think that we would do this again? Besides, we are already dead. There is no point of doing this if we're dead." Hajime said to the bear. "I know that you're dead, lol. This is going to be different, because...if you get killed or executed; you'll be.... drums please dead again all alone in the dark but if you win... you'll get to be resurrected!" Monokuma pause before continuing "and that's not even your motive for this CHAPTER" he said with laughter.

"And why should we listen to that? You? Resurrecting us? That's not even possible." "You can't bring back the dead to life," Kakeru replied with irritation. "What does he mean by chapter?" A thought crossed Kinji's mind. "Oh, but I can...but if you don't believe me, then don't, I don't care" Monokuma replies to Yamato's words. Monokuma laughs. "So yeah, but I recommend that you to investigate this place because this school is big big and just a reminder...there's only way to graduate from this school, kill one of your classmates. Without getting caught. I hope you won't disappoint me." Monokuma is laughing before disappearing. Even though he has already disappeared, the students can still hear his laughter.

Yamato's POV

"This has to be fake! A lie that Monokuma is telling us just to make us kill each other," Kakeru said. "Right now, it doesn't matter if it's fake or not. What matters is that... is there actually anyone considering this seriously?" Nikei asked as he scanned the faces of everyone in the gym. To that, nobody responded. We started to look at each other to see if anyone was actually considering it. "You must kill in order to escape" those words have already been planted in our heads' as all of us has already experience this, but I still can't get off the feeling that this is gonna be more intense. Each of us became suspicious of each other. We were forced to wonder "Are we going to betray each other in order to live again?"

Everything about this is messed up, even more so than back then. We're back at it, but with an even more upgraded version of school. 15 students are confined inside, surrounded by a new frightening environment, and forced to play a game with new peers. Again. I wonder if one of us will be tempted. I hope not, for I intend to put an end to the killing game this time, in one way or another.

Prologue: Welcome to the afterlife.

Surviving students: 16
