Live here... forever?..

Ah, there’s nothing to worry about. We have plenty of budget. You bastards won’t lack anything, I promise!

![](http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9559/smallmoo2.jpg)
That's not why we're worried!

![](http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/3556/devie1.jpg)
What do you mean live here forever?..
![](http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/3556/devie1.jpg)
It's just a joke right?..

![](http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/8376/charmonokuma2.png)
I am most certainly not a liar! I have great pride in that!
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
Ah, I should also let you know: you will be completely shut out from the outside world!
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
So you shouldn’t be worried anymore about what’s going on in this rotten world we all live in!
![](http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1964/smallcakeface1.jpg)
Shut out?..
![](http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/8933/018ironplates.png)
![](http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1964/smallcakeface1.jpg)
So the steel plates in the classrooms and corridors...
![](http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1964/smallcakeface1.jpg)
They’re there to... keep us in?
![](http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/4291/008monokuma.png)
![](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1336/charmonokuma4.png)
That’s right.
![](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1336/charmonokuma4.png)
It doesn’t matter how much you shout. No help is coming.
![](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1336/charmonokuma4.png)
Therefore, you should just make the most out of your life inside the school!
![](http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/4416/59905357.jpg)
![](http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8477/smalldeacon3.jpg)
Er, what is this?
![](http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/4415/5f3gh4.jpg)
What you’re saying, it’s nothing but a huge joke, right?
![](http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/628/67810856.jpg)
![](http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/4513/smallmoo.jpg)
Cut the crap! If the joke doesn't stop right now I'll beat you into smithereens!
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
You keep calling it a joke or a lie. It seems you’re still very much doubting me.
![](http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8080/020monokuma.png)
![](http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
But I guess it’s just natural. We’re living in an age where you can’t survive if you trust your neighbours, after all.
![](http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
In any case, I will let you confirm for yourselves whether my words are true or not.
![](http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
When you do that, you’ll soon understand that my words are always one hundred percent factual!
![](http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/391/36663407.jpg)
![](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7258/smallprox.jpg)
Well believe it or not, we don't want to spend the rest of our lives here.
![](http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8086/022monokuma.png)
![](http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1074/charmonokuma8.png)
Oh? You’re a weird bunch, aren’t you.
![](http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1074/charmonokuma8.png)
After all, didn’t you all come to this school out on your own volition?
![](http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1074/charmonokuma8.png)
Don’t go on saying you want to go back in the middle of the opening ceremony...
![](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
That said...
![](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
To be frank, it’s not impossible. There is a way to get out of here...
![](http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8802/56882409.jpg)
![](http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/5051/smalldevie2.jpg)
There is?

As this school’s headmaster, I’ve made a special rule for people who want to leave the school!
![](http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3885/charmonokuma6.png)
It’s a rule called “graduation”!
![](http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/2191/002monokuma.png)
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
I’m sure you all want to hear all about it, so let me explain in detail.
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
As students of this academy, you’re obliged to live your communal lifestyle in an orderly fashion...
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
But in case someone breaks the order, that person alone can leave the school grounds.
![](http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1779/charmonokuma1.png)
That is the rule called “graduation”!
![](http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7793/11682515.jpg)
![](http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/5921/smalldon2.jpg)
And what do you mean by breaking order exactly?
![](http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
Upupu... that is...
![](http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8080/020monokuma.png)
![](http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5143/charmonokuma7.png)
The act of killing another person.

Killing!?

“Only a student who kills someone can leave”. It’s a very simple rule.
![](http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9859/charmonokuma5.png)
The most evil of actions leads to the best of outcomes. I hope you all cooperate.
Intolerable fear...
The moment I heard the words “Only a student who kills someone can leave” a violent chill ran from my feet through my back all the way to the top of my head.
