If you possess save data from the previous game, you can receive a humble present by loading it. Do you want to load saved data?
Hey, I just recently finished the first game! Also, presents are always fun.
(The present is 100 Monobear coins, by the way)

...And here's the second main menu. That's a lot of question marks. The first option says "From the beginning", and the last "Options". There are no interesting options to show, so let's choose the former.

Much like the first game, we can select difficulty levels for both logic and action. Unlike the first game, choosing a higher difficulty actually makes the game challenging, even if you're not trying to get a good score. Nevertheless, I'm doing this the hardcore way again.

Why am I here...?
What happened?
OK... Don’t panic. First thing’s first. I have to remember...
Keep calm, work my brain, and unravel my tangled memories.
Stop worrying and think! Think, think, think, think, think, think.
There are shards of memory everywhere... but I think I can piece together what happened.
...Yes...
...Come on...
That's right. I'm...

No, it was much more significant than that.

As I approached the day I had anticipated for so long, my heart began to swell with a pride I still can’t put into words.
I was about to join a community I had revered ever since I was a child.
My dreams were about to become reality, and my reality felt like a dream.

"Hope's Peak Private Academy"...
This is no ordinary school. Nothing about this place is “ordinary”. Not least its importance to me.
You know how a young baseball or soccer fan thinks about their favorite team?
It goes beyond mere support... it borders on worship. Like a religion.
Well, ever since I was young, I’ve held that same kind of reverence for Hope's Peak Academy.

![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/DR2/Prologue/012-hopespeak_zpse8a455cb.png)
Hope's Peak Academy is located on a prime piece of real estate, and has special approval and rights from the government.
The school gathers together high school students from around the country who are top in their respective fields, and prepares them to lead the world into the future - to bear the hopes of all humanity.
When people talk about Hope's Peak Academy, one particular phrase always comes up:
"Graduating from this school leads to certain success in life"...
I can say with confidence that this is not a joke or an exaggeration.
Many of the top players in every kind of field and profession are graduates of Hope's Peak.
Because of this reputation, people have come to refer to it as “The Academy of Hope”.
![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/DR2/Prologue/010-2_zpsd5dee181.png)
There are two requirements for becoming a Hope's Peak student...
"One must be a high-school student"
"One must be top in their respective field"
Hope's Peak Academy doesn't hold entrance exams, or even accept applications.
You don’t go to them - they come to you. Enrollment is by invitation only.
Then, in accordance with their particular skills...
...Every Hope's Peak student ends up being called a "Super High-school Level" something or other.
And, at long last, I, too, am able to attend this wonderful school. My heart’s wish had been granted.
To tell you the truth, the circumstances in my case are slightly unusual.
...But that's a story for another time.
Honestly, I don't think it's such a big deal. You'll find out for yourselves soon enough.
More importantly, let me introduce myself.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/DR2/Prologue/013-hajime_zpsaec93b9f.png)

My name is Hajime Hinata.
Our protagonist, Hajime Hinata (日向創 ) is voiced by Minami Takayama. Takayama is best known for playing the young version of Conan Edogawa in Detective Conan/Case Closed (this makes both of the Conan Edogawa voices have roles in the DR universe). She was also Kiki in Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service, and has played many, many other roles in her 20+ year career.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/DR2/Expression%20Collections/Hajime%20Hinata/char-hinata1_zps76d7fb04.png)
I have one and only one reason for coming to Hope's Peak Academy. I revere this school.

There's a door here.

That’s... that’s strange, you're right. If no one here can say how they came to this classroom...

As soon as I entered the school I was inexplicably struck dizzy, and then inexplicably found myself outside this classroom.

Everyone getting dizzy at the same time... that’s kinda suspicious!

In other words, this strange phenomenon had some kind of a purpose behind it.
What he’s saying makes sense, but...
What purpose is being served by this? And for who?
I don’t like this...![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/DR2/Prologue/036-nidai_zps8e5853b7.png)

Before we try to figure out why we've been gathered here, we need to figure out why we can't leave.

Maybe that's just what they say publicly, and there’s actually a special secret exam once the students enroll...
