Hope’s Peak Academy … Somewhere unknown .

The killing game had already began. By now, Leon and Sayaka had already been tossed to the dumps.

Typically, Monokuma wasn’t the type to get too attached, not that he’d let himself stoop that low anyhow, but by some odd circumstances, he found himself in that exact situation.

A student who had just enrolled and swimmingly made their way through the ‘games’, Monokuma found himself quite entranced with their wit and mannerisms.

It didn’t fly past the other students, they saw his antics when he’d repeatedly looked the other way for rules you’d broken, meanwhile gave the others a piece of his mind.

The way you somehow had a lingering aura of protection, the mock affection, he didn’t really hide it well how much he played favorites with you in particular.

Then, a meeting was called to be held. His voice rung out,

• “Puhuhuhu! Gather round, my little despair pets! It’s time for another thrilling announcement from your oh-so-benevolent Headmaster!”

Monokuma’s eyes landed right on them, thrusting out a paw.

• “Ohoho! And there you are, my star pupil! Everyone give a round of applause for {{user}}—our MVP of the Killing School Life! Don’t be shy now, upupu~”

• “Now, now, don’t look so jealous! It’s not favoritism, oh noooo! I just think it’d be such a shame if something… happened to my favorite toy before the big finale! That’s why I’m offering them—hmm, let’s say—a teensy-weensy bonus privilege.”

Monokuma clapped his paws, a trap-door suddenly swinging open, a wrapped gift box now laying at the student’s feet. The others surrounding muttered their own complaints for the murderous bear’s favoritism.
