Suke always felt that he was frequently being set up.
He clearly just wanted a peaceful life of returning to the countryside, yet he was forced to be dragged into various events related to the destruction of the world time and time again.
But now, it was finally his turn to set up others.
Although this event itself was indeed related to the destruction of the world, compared to the monsters and freaks he had seen before, Junko Enoshima was simply so cute it made him want to laugh.
[ID: B0002]
[Codename: Ultimate "Analyst"]
[Threat Level: C+ (City Level) → B (National Level)]
[Suspected female individual possessing "Pseudo-Omniscience" abilities. Public identity is a fashion trend analyst. Excellent physical condition, lively personality. Requires focused observation.]
[Note: After psychological profiling, it is recommended to raise the threat level and simultaneously increase surveillance intensity on Private Hope's Peak Academy.]
Holding the data sent by Sawatari Koko on his phone, Suke had to lament that the government of this world was actually doing real work.
No wonder Hiro said that in the future she saw through magic, Junko Enoshima only destroyed Tokyo and several surrounding cities, and did not stage the ending where the whole world was destroyed like in the original work Danganronpa.
But that didn't mean Suke was going to let her off.
Having the patience to observe slowly was the United Government's business; at this moment, Suke just wanted to find some fun for himself and the others.
She offended the Young Miss of the Nikaido family and still wanted to walk away?
"Yuki, Mr. Suke..."
"Is this being too ostentatious? I still have to study and live here with Emma in the future, won't this be a bit..."
Sitting together with Tsukishiro Yuki, Suke, and the others on the high tribunal platform constructed by magic, under the gaze of the masses, Nikaido Hiro felt uncomfortable all over.
She actually really wanted to live a normal high school life; encountering Junko Enoshima was purely an accident.
She could even see the Emma of this world down below, jumping and waving enthusiastically at them.
It reminded her of the promotional documentary for that Sun Country she had watched on YouTube.
"What does it matter, Little Hiro? You are a woman destined to become 'King' in the future!"
The Great King Hiro is also a King!
"Just being stared at by people and you can't handle it? How can that be okay?"
"You must learn the spirit of 'I don't eat beef' and spread the might of The Great King Hiro to every corner of the school!"
Nikaido Hiro: ...
Maybe I should consider taking Emma and transferring schools again later, Nikaido Hiro thought to herself.
She heard that there is a noble high school in Tokyo called Tsukinomori Girls' Academy that is quite good. You can get in just by paying. Although the school ranking is much worse than Hope's Peak, at least the students should all be ordinary people.
Hiro didn't consider the neighboring Shuchiin Academy or the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School. The enrollment restrictions for those two were too strict; just having money wasn't enough. Even if she could get in, Emma definitely couldn't.
Decided. Let's do that!
Suke, who was looking down from above at the students of the entire Hope's Peak Academy digging three feet into the ground to find Junko Enoshima, evidently didn't know that Hiro had already used 'Divine Sunderer' on him and was pondering running away.
"Classmate Enoshima, stop hiding!"
"I found you!"
The student from the Elite Class, Nagito Komaeda, exerted his power. Under his Ultimate Lucky talent, the hiding place Junko Enoshima thought was extremely secret was finally discovered.
"No matter what wrong things you did before, hurry up and apologize to that gentleman!"
"I can tell he isn't a bad person. As long as you apologize, I'm sure he won't make things difficult for you!"
The secret door beneath the academy statue opened. Under the coercion of Nagito Komaeda and a group of students from the 77th Class, Junko Enoshima, who had been hiding in the dark, was finally forced to reveal herself.
"Found her, it's her!"
"She is Junko Enoshima? Aside from having a good-looking face, she doesn't seem special?"
"This damnable woman, why does the whole school have to share the burden for the wrong things she did alone? Give her some color to see!"
"Damn Elite Class students, everyone has been dragged down by you!"
Although the school lockdown had lasted less than a few hours, and no conflict events had occurred during that time, the panic of the students evidently hadn't decreased.
After all, the abilities displayed by Suke and Tsukishiro Yuki were too inconceivable. Faced with such powerful existences beyond cognition, no one was accustomed to having their fate held in the hands of others.
Now that they found Junko Enoshima, it was fine, but what if they hadn't found her?
Would the lockdown continue indefinitely? From a few hours to a day, a day to a week, or even a month?
No one dared to gamble on what terrible things would happen during this time completely isolated from the outside world. After all, this was human nature.
Even if Suke and the others did nothing but watch quietly, once sociality was lost, bestiality would gradually be amplified.
"Everyone, calm down a bit, please don't be like this!"
The assistant homeroom teacher of the Elite Class, Chisa Yukizome, tried hard to appease the other students who were directing abusive language at her students.
She even used her body to block the empty water bottles and rotten vegetable leaves dug out of trash cans that were thrown at them.
"Classmate Enoshima, can you tell Teacher what exactly you did?"
"Although you haven't been transferred to our class for long, as long as you tell Teacher, Teacher will definitely think of a way to bear it together with you..."
Not daring to look at Suke and the others sitting on the high platform like gods, Chisa Yukizome could only pin her hopes on her student telling the truth.
In the end, she was just a high school student. Even if she caused a great disaster, how serious could it be?
Chisa Yukizome believed she could tide over the difficulties with her students, before the situation became even worse.
"Pfft..." However, contrary to the expectations of her and everyone in the Elite Class,
"Ha... Hahahahahahahaha!!!"
Right at this moment, the young girl named Junko Enoshima suddenly burst into wild laughter!
"Hahahaha————It really makes my stomach hurt from laughing————!!!"
"This is amazing! So this is the so-called feeling of 'Despair'!?"
"Just like those poor wretches in suspense movies who are dragged out to take the fall. Clearly, I haven't had time to do anything yet, but I have to be cast aside by everyone for no reason!!!"
"I didn't expect that I, Junko Enoshima, would one day experience the feelings of those silly, sweet 'protagonists,' hahaha————!!!"
The girl with twin pink pigtails clutched her stomach with one hand and slapped her thigh vigorously with the other, laughing so hard she simply couldn't stand up straight.
Everyone was awed by her abnormal performance, so much so that the Reserve Course students nearby who wanted to continue throwing eggs and slippers stopped their actions.
This woman is definitely mentally abnormal.
This was the judgment immediately made by everyone, including Chisa Yukizome.
Under Nagito Komaeda's eye signal, the Elite Class students all distanced themselves from Junko Enoshima. Only Chisa Yukizome, as the teacher, remained by her side.
"Classmate Enoshima..."
"Alright, the lamentation segment ends here."
"Uncle sitting up there, although I don't know where you learned of Junko's grand plan, Junko hasn't had time to do anything up to now, you know~?"
Putting on a pitiful appearance, Junko Enoshima said:
"Modern laws all emphasize 'presumption of innocence,' right?"
"If a girl as beautiful, cute, and popular as Junko were to be publicly executed and die, the teachers and classmates would be heartbroken!"
"Don't you agree————Wu?!"
It happened faster than words could tell!
Just as Junko intended to catch everyone off guard by taking out her phone, which was already playing the "Despair Animation" in her bosom, and forcibly displaying it before the eyes of Chisa Yukizome who was closest to her, an invisible force directly struck the palm of the hand she used to hold the phone.
Zip—!
Only a zip sound was heard, and half of Junko Enoshima's right palm was directly severed!
Blood surged from the severed palm, falling to the ground along with the phone she was holding!
"?!"
"Junko—!"
All the onlookers were silently shocked. Only Mukuro Ikusaba, who was Junko Enoshima's sister and was tied up beneath the high platform, cried out in alarm!
Meanwhile, Tsukishiro Yuki, the initiator who had received Suke's signal, simply flicked her finger, too lazy to even look.
"Animus, what do you say about me going to a human shop to get a manicure?"
"I see that Little Hiro seems to have done one. Hearing her speak, this seems quite popular among human females."
"Of course you can. We'll go out later to find a shop and have a look."
The pain of the severed palm caused beads of sweat to emerge on Junko Enoshima's forehead. Emotions named despair and fanaticism intertwined at the bottom of her pupils.
For the first time, she felt what it was like to be treated as an ant, as if her life was worth less than someone else's fingernail paring.
"Demon! Don't hurt Junko, she clearly hasn't done anything!"
At the bottom of the high platform, Mukuro Ikusaba cried out with tears streaming down her face.
"Kill me! Kill me! I'm the one who bears countless human lives on my body!"
"Junko hasn't even killed anyone with her own hands. Every time, it was me doing it for her. She is innocent!"
If it were an uninformed person, this scene of deep sisterly love would definitely be touching.
And Suke, Tsukishiro Yuki, and the others sitting on the high platform were the demons behind the scenes, while Nikaido Hiro, who attracted the demons, was the prime culprit for the academy's fall.
I see Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba are also a pair of star-crossed lovers.
"Someone else will take over your issues later. Today, we are only dealing with your younger sister, Junko Enoshima."
"Wu, wuwuwu, wuwu————!!!"
Mukuro Ikusaba, who had wanted to shout more, suddenly found her throat unable to produce sound. Only whimpers like those of a deaf-mute remained, letting her eyes be filled with terror.
"Teacher Chisa, are you alright!"
"Was Enoshima about to do something to you just now..."
With things having reached this stage, even the stupidest person could see the abnormality of these twin transfer students, let alone the crowd in the Elite Class.
"I'm fine, Classmate Chiaki."
"Your premonition wasn't wrong. That outsider gentleman shouldn't be a villain."
Chisa Yukizome also distanced herself from Junko Enoshima, retreating to the front of her own class's students. She responded to Chiaki Nanami, who was inquiring about her safety.
"Since this is Classmate Enoshima's own grudge, leave it to her to resolve it herself."
"As a teacher, I order everyone to back away. No one is allowed to approach the vicinity of Classmate Enoshima!"
The severed palm falling on the grass was still gurgling blood, polluting and covering the screen of Junko Enoshima's phone playing the animation.
All students and teachers inside Hope's Peak distanced themselves from Junko Enoshima, located in the center of the grass.
And Suke cooperated very well with the atmosphere by using [Liquid Manipulation] to generate a rain cloud above Junko Enoshima's head, letting the rainwater wash away the girl's blood and sweat.
According to the rhythm of a standard shonen manga, next should be the moment Junko Enoshima explodes with power and evolves——but unfortunately, she is not the protagonist, nor does there exist any deep bitterness or hatred.
"Heh..."
"Hehehe..."
No one knew why Junko Enoshima could still laugh under these circumstances.
The crowd didn't even dare to think about what it would be like if they were in her position; what a true and profound despair that would be!
She just kept laughing softly like that. She laughed for a long time, until she fell silent because no one paid attention to her or perhaps the continuous blood loss began to bring dizziness.
"————Truly indifferent, Uncle. To think you wouldn't even acknowledge Junko-chan like this."
"I thought you would at least ask me, 'What are you laughing at?' This isn't interesting at all."
"But it doesn't matter."
Junko Enoshima suddenly raised her head.
She glanced at Suke on the high platform, who was still chatting with Tsukishiro Yuki and maintaining an indifferent attitude toward her, and suddenly revealed a terrifying smile!
"Because, the time has come————!"
Static...
Accompanied by the girl's loud laughter, the giant broadcasting screen placed on the teaching building in the center of the academy square suddenly turned on amidst static snow!
When the static cleared, a male figure with disheveled hair, exceeding everyone's expectations, appeared behind that screen!
The environment around him didn't look like it was inside Hope's Peak; instead, it looked like the backstage of a radio and television station in Tokyo!
"That, is that Classmate Hinata?!" Chiaki Nanami's eyes widened. Although the man behind the screen had disheveled hair, those familiar features still made her recognize him immediately!
This gentle boy who originally belonged to the Reserve Course, yet whom she got along with extremely well, playing games with him by the fountain every day!
She had thought the relationship between the two would continue to gradually become intimate like that, until the boy's sudden disappearance not long ago!
"Not good—!" Compared to the students who knew nothing about the man's identity, those in the know like Chisa Yukizome realized things were bad!
Hope's Peak Academy's secret human experimentation project, the Artificial God——"Izuru Kamukura"!
That project had actually already succeeded?!
Static, static...
The raspy sound of electric current continued to come from the large screen. The figure named "Izuru Kamukura" did not speak.
Instead, he silently inserted the disc in his hand, which stored "Despair," into the player before his eyes that was connected to the city-wide network.
In the next second, the images on the large screen, or rather the images of all TV stations within the entirety of Tokyo, changed abruptly—
But Junko Enoshima's smile froze on her face.
This was the first time her "Ultimate Analyst" ability's prediction of the future had completely deviated.
Because what she saw was not what she had arranged—that animation capable of brainwashing the people of the entire city, plunging them into chaos and despair!
Instead, it was a rotating cherry blossom pattern,
Accompanying that electronic voice which similarly "brainwashed" people!
