While everyone is trying to figure out what happened, they are confronted by the school principal-Monokuma, a robotic teddy bear. Failing to comprehend how he got there, Naegi begins to explore, and to his surprise, finds his classmates assembled in the gym. However, after losing consciousness inside, Naegi wakes up in a seemingly abandoned classroom.
Determined, he enters the front doors of the prestigious academy.
Despite believing his admission was just a fluke, Naegi is delighted to attend an institution known for ensuring success to those who graduate.
Makoto Naegi, a teenager with no remarkable talent, is surprised to learn that he has been accepted into Hope's Peak Private Academy: an elite school that gathers the best students from various fields.
