An Eerie Academy, the Kamukura Project!
Akane Owari killed people, and many people at that.
This is an indisputable fact.
The bodies scattered in front of the Safe House provided irrefutable evidence.
However, at this moment, no one showed even the slightest bit of disgust towards her.
The more knowledge one has, the more reactionary one becomes; the same applies to talent.
Most of the gifted individuals present expressed their understanding of Akane Owari's killings in different ways.
[Ultimate Kendo Master] Peko Pekoyama, [Ultimate Yakuza Scion] Gundham Tanaka, [Ultimate Gymnast] Akane Owari...
[Ultimate Manager] Monokuma, [Ultimate Martial Artist] Sakura Ogami, [Ultimate Biker Gang Leader] Mondo Owada...
These people, on the contrary, developed a lot of goodwill towards Akane Owari.
That situation was terrifying.
In the midst of Riot, it's either you die or I die; there is no third option.
If Akane Owari hadn't been so ruthless in killing them, it's questionable whether they would have even made it out of the Safe House alive today!
Only the two of them stood out from the crowd.
One of them is Wang Yan.
He looked at Akane Owari with a questioning gaze, chuckled, and didn't say a word more.
Even if he suspects that the other party is the culprit behind the current situation, he absolutely cannot bring it up under these circumstances.
That would seem somewhat ungrateful.
Being quick to point out a problem is a sign of cleverness.
The true wisdom lies in continuously building one's own authority and ultimately influencing those around you to express your conclusions through others.
The other person is Komaeda Nagito from the Class 77 of Super High School Level Luck .
This guy sidled up to Akane Owari, looking at him with an expression of adoration.
Watching the two talk, Makoto Naegi from Class 78 "The Super High School Level Luck" blinked, filled with envy.
Perhaps others didn't realize it, but he was paying close attention to Komaeda Nagito- senpai the whole time...
In the previous chaotic battle, everyone who got close to Komaeda Nagito died inexplicably.
Either his head was smashed by a companion, or he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground, with a branch of an ironwood bonsai tree piercing right into his eye socket...
This is true luck!
Compared to Komaeda Nagito- senpai, he's like someone without any talent...
As one of the lucky students of the Class 78, Makoto Naegi felt that he was no different from the students in the Preparatory Course. Perhaps he had some good luck before, but entering the school as a regular student probably used up all his luck.
Of all those present, Makoto Naegi was the one who understood the mindset of the Preparatory Course students the most.
Even the "Super High School Level Ordinary Person" Hinata Hajime a super genius, one in a billion, who took mediocrity to its extreme and then achieved the opposite of what is expected!
Makoto Naegi felt like an ugly duckling living among a flock of Swan.
The Safe House is no longer usable.
The school quickly arranged for the talented students from the Class 77 and Class 78 to be transferred to another location that resembled a research base.
They did not organize any suppression of the Preparatory Course students' marches and demonstrations, and even turned a blind eye to them, without taking any normal countermeasures whatsoever.
The school only closed Hope's Peak Academy.
Anyone who attempts to leave the school during this period, whether a student, teacher, or janitor, will be given dozens of cold bullets.
In Wang Yan's view, this reaction was far too bizarre.
This cannot even be called "covering up the truth," it's more like delaying the issue.
Even if Hope's Peak Academy only recruits Preparatory Course students to raise funds and never pays attention to them, it's still necessary to intervene given how things have developed.
Otherwise, Hope's Peak Academy's nearly eighty-year history and reputation could very well be ruined!
Unfortunately, the school officials seemed to be obsessed, ignoring all external reactions.
Now that things have come to this point, many things that were previously overlooked have been exposed one by one.
For example, the fat Byakuya Togami in Class 77 and the thin Byakuya Togami in Class 78.
Same name, same title, but clearly not the same person.
The latter was a noble young master of the Togami family, tall and slender, with an air of nobility in his words and actions.
The former is clearly not the real person, but merely an imposter.
Komaeda Nagito and Hinata Hajime, who had played the game Danganronpa, shared this information with their companions.
The Class 77 Fat Ten-God is actually the "Ultimate Imposter".
Imitation is his talent.
Unfortunately, this guy has been missing for a long time and his whereabouts are unknown.
For some reason, this information soon spread to the outside world as well.
The Preparatory Course students went into a frenzy.
"Fat Ten is the murderer!"
"That guy has been missing for a long time!"
"Find this guy and kill him!"
"And Akane Owari! That despicable woman, does she treat us talentless people like pigs and dogs? She just kills us like that? The school even actively protects her!"
"All talented people must die!"
The conflict escalated further.
Public opinion was in an uproar in the Preparatory Course.
The talented students in the regular classes were also strictly restricted from leaving the school.
Time passed very slowly; every minute and every second was torture.
Aside from Wang Yan, who hacked the entire base system, no one knew that Makoto Naegi from the Class 78 of Super High School Level Luck had signed an experimental contract with the school.
Three days later.
In a hidden underground experimental base southeast of the Hope's Peak Academy.
White-stained walls, a cold operating table.
Makoto Naegi tore off the bandages on his body and stood up expressionlessly.
His gaze fell on the mangled corpse at his feet, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"It worked? It finally worked!"
Beside Makoto Naegi, there was only one living middle-aged man.
Jin Kirigiri, the principal of Hope's Peak Academy and the father of the famous detective Kirigiri Kyoko.
This person, although extremely obsessed with talent and quick to respond to activities related to talent, did not really agree with the inhumane living modification plan—the "All-Round Talented Person Izuru Kamukura Project".
But now, his eyes are bloodshot and his expression is fanatical, as if he has fallen into an indescribable obsession.
"It worked! Makoto Naegi, you are the most perfect, most genius, and most talented human being in history!"
"Physical ability, intelligence, knowledge reserves, athletic ability, charisma, even luck..."
"It has reached perfection in every aspect!"
"They could absolutely be called 'gods'!"
"From today onwards, you are no longer Makoto Naegi!"
"You are... Izuru Kamukura!"
"You are the Ultimate Hope!"
Upon hearing this, Makoto Naegi stared at him expressionlessly.
After a long pause, Makoto Naegi said without any emotion, "Boring."
Name, ID card, bank card, household registration...
They're all just boring stuff.
They cannot prove their identity, and even if they are all lost, it will not affect their existence.
After speaking, Makoto Naegi punched Jin Kirigiri in the chest.
Bang!
After making this gesture, he turned and left.
When she walks, her waist-length hair moves on its own even without wind.
"Cough cough... So... impressive..."
Jin Kirigiri coughed up mouthfuls of blood, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
In Makoto Naegi's eyes now, Jin Kirigiri is just a pathetic wretch who has been brainwashed.
He knew it with just one glance.
If we don't kill Jin Kirigiri here today, the enemy won't easily give up their pursuit.
Since that's the case, let's skip over those boring and inevitable plot points, and directly shatter Jin Kirigiri's heart, nipping all problems in the bud.
(I'll finish writing this book the day after tomorrow, April 9th. My new book, "World Remake," will have reached 30,000 words. I hope all my readers will Qidian and support it on Qidian...)
During the new book period, collections, Recommendation tickets, and even daily chapter clicks are all very important!
Hopefully the new book will do better than this one...)
