Izuru Kamukura, The Despair Generation!

Suppressing his unease and inexplicable fear, Hinata Hajime continued his battles in the role-playing card game "Danganronpa".

The purpose of the Hope's Peak Academy is to provide individualized education, allowing all "talented individuals" to unleash their full potential and excel in their areas of expertise.

Therefore, this school does not have the usual courses that wear down students' willpower. Apart from the most basic mathematics, physics and chemistry, there are no other courses.

Moral education, art, music, physical education, computer skills, history, English, geography...

These are not non-existent, but they exist as elective courses and are not counted in the final exam grade.

In this situation, each student has a great deal of freedom.

Hope's Peak Academy will be different from what he Hinata Hajime.

After completing the empty class schedule, excluding sleep time, there are at least 12 hours of free time every day.

Aside from the occasional outings, picnics, and camping trips organized by teacher Chisa Yukizome, Wang Yan Hinata Hajime time playing a game called "Danganronpa".

Before he knew it, he had been at the Hope's Peak Academy for almost a year.

During this year, Hinata Hajime established a strong friendship with his gaming buddies, including Wang Yan, Komaeda Nagito, and Nanami Chiaki.

The four often team up in Danganronpa using their own custom characters to explore new content and add new features to the game.

During this time, the group discovered many interesting ways to play the game.

Some of these things were not even realized by Wang Yan, the developer.

For example, the "The Zero-Stat Person" that Nanami Chiaki likes to use the most is a self-created game protagonist whose initial attributes of politics, charm, martial arts, intelligence, and leadership are all zero, and who has no initial skills.

During this period, thanks to the efforts of Wang Yan and Komaeda Nagito, the school authorities and board members finally reluctantly acknowledged Hinata Hajime's "talent" and officially designated him as the "Super High School Level Ordinary Person".

This result left Hinata Hajime both amused and exasperated, but even before graduating, he received numerous job offers from Fortune 500 companies.

For some large companies, the term "absolutely ordinary person" carries significant meaning.

Market research is one of them.

Wang Yan's latest game, Danganronpa, is a huge hit, further demonstrating the significance of Hinata Hajime's existence.

Therefore, this game has a very profound meaning and value for Hinata Hajime himself.

He was determined to increase the card collection rate of this game to 100% in his lifetime!

It was a turning point in my destiny!

After finally completing the scripts for the Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77 and Class 78s, Hyuga Hajime, Hinata Hajime much effort, finally obtained Wang Yan's Protagonist Card!

The background is rendered in a blood-red crimson, with a string of words written in eerie purple font, "Super High School Level Game Developer /Hacker Wang Yan".

"As expected, he has a place here."

Hinata Hajime nodded.

According to the Puppet Showcase interface, there are only three red character cards in the entire game!

Although it was somewhat of a matter of subjective judgment, he did indeed believe that Wang Yan was the most dazzling and outstanding among all the Class 77 of talented individuals.

Wang Yan possesses a peculiar personal charm that makes people unconsciously want to get close to him.

After reaching the Class 77, Hinata Hajime thought for a moment, then moved his current save file to the 99th save node and restarted the game.

Choose the red character card, Wang Yan, as the main character!

Let's start by playing the scenario of the 70th freshman class entering school!

If you calculate the time, it was seven or eight years ago, which was exactly when Wang Yan first entered the gaming industry...

By playing the game with Wang Yan as the protagonist, Hinata Hajime quickly discovered a unique kind of fun.

He felt like he was playing an indie game about "game development".

Based on market research and feedback, we select a game theme, then proceed with the game development, marketing, and release...

Lost in his reverie, time quickly passed until Wang Yan entered Hope's Peak Academy.

Hinata Hajime suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu.

He even saw himself in the game.

This subtle feeling didn't last long; he received an achievement card that left him both amused and exasperated.

The first of the top ten "Achievements" is: [Develop the game "Danganronpa" within the game "Danganronpa".]

Knock knock knock!

A knocking sound suddenly rang out.

"Please come in."

Hinata Hajime knew who it was without even hearing it.

Nanami Chiaki never goes to see any boys alone. If Wang Yan wants to contact him, she will only send him a text message online.

Therefore, the identity of the visitor is self-evident.

The Super High School Level Luck, Komaeda Nagito.

"Hyuga-kun, I've collected a red character card..."

Komaeda Nagito spoke, he turned his laptop, which was still powered on, towards Hinata Hajime.

He squinted and looked over.

[Super High School Level Hope / All-Rounder Izuru Kamukura].

Let's take another look at Komaeda Nagito's playtime.

It's the Class 78 freshman orientation instance...

A game scenario titled "Despair and Gloom! The Beginning of the Despair Generation! The Class 78 of Freshmen Enters School!"

Hinata Hajime put his trembling hands in his pockets, his voice unsteady. "Izuru Kamukura? The legendary founder of the Hope's Peak Academy? How could he still be alive?"

How could the principal of the Hope's Peak Academy possibly be alive this year?

Why can this character's Character card only be collected in script Class 78?

Hinata Hajime became curious.

He and Komaeda Nagito went to seek help from Nanami Chiaki.

As the "Super High School Level Gamer," Nanami Chiaki strives for perfection, devoting most of her energy to collecting various cards.

Therefore, in terms of the individual plot timeline progression, it is not as fast as Hinata Hajime and Komaeda Nagito.

She was very interested in this topic.

One person's plan is short-sighted, but three people's wisdom is far superior.

Through their joint investigation, they soon discovered something strange...

Izuru Kamukura, a boy with the same name as the First principal and terrifying talent, has the exact same face as Hinata Hajime!

Furthermore, in this game, Makoto Naegi, a freshman of the Class 78 and the next recipient of the "Lucky" title, does indeed refer to Izuru Kamukura as "Hiyū-senpai" in the story.

Looking at him with an extremely admiring gaze from Komaeda Nagito, Hinata Hajime, who was at the center of the conversation Hinata Hajime his scalp tingle and his whole body become uncomfortable. "Hey... it's just a game, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?"

Komaeda Nagito took a deep breath, and the blush on his face faded slightly.

He shook his finger. "I previously invited a female student from the Class 78 to test the security of this game. She told me at the time that the main storyline of Danganronpa was completed about a year ago, which means..."

"At that time, His Highness Wang Yan probably didn't even know you."
