Hope's Peak Academy's Sister Location

## Major Appearances

Sister LocationGuessing Game (mentioned)

**Hope's Peak Academy's Sister Location**, also dubbed "**Hope's Peak Two**", is a school located in Towa City. The school was the location of the Secondary Ultimate Despair Killing Game.

## History

### Before the Killing Game

Unlike the original Hope's Peak, Hope's Peak Two has little known about the history of the building itself. It used to be an unnamed, regular high school stationed in Towa City. It can be inferred it may have been even called "Towa City Academy" or something along those lines.

During the Tragedy, it was invaded by despairing Hope's Peak rejects and their captured Future Foundation member. They reconstructed it from its original state into a school that resembled Hope's Peak in attempts to use it as a grounds for a killing game.

### During the Killing Game

The Secondary Ultimate Despair Killing Game took place between the despairing Hope's Peak rejects, whom during this time thought they were truly real Ultimates. They awoke there peacefully, wandering around dazed and confused until Kurokuma jumpstarted the killing game. This led to 6 trials, 11 "students" dead (5 executed, 6 murdered), the survivors of the killing game leaving with the Future Foundation member.

## Architecture

The main campus of Hope's Peak Two was a rectangular building with 5 floors. The windows and its roof were boarded up, being about the size as a large college campus.

### **Floor One**

The ground floor houses the main dormitory and living quarters, the courtyard in its center, and school classrooms to its sides. There is a courtyard, cafeteria, kitchen, 2 classrooms, baths, dorms, a nurse's office, and a locked purple door.

The courtyard in the middle of the floor features a skylight (with the roof boarded up) and a traditional fountain sits in the center of the courtyard, around 9 feet in diameter. On the left wall near the back of the courtyard, there is a set of double doors to the cafeteria. The windows viewing into the cafeteria are not boarded up. At the far back of the courtyard, there is a podium on a small stage where graduations were hosted.

The two classrooms are on the right of the baths, being on the east wing. In classroom 1, the windows are boarded up. On the chalkboard directly across from the door, there is a crudely drawn picture of a teddy bear. In classroom 2, it is slightly smaller. The chalkboard is on the south wall instead of the east wall, but otherwise not different from the first classroom. However, on the chalkboard is a drawing of a flame and the words '燃える窓から飛び出した男は自分を殺しましたか。' ( *Did the man who jumped out of the burning window kill himself?* )

#### Dorms

The dorms are on the northern wing, right next to the nurse's office. They are eight rooms facing each other, making sixteen in total, down either side of the hallway. Each door has a plaque that bears the face of the student to whom the room belongs.

Each room has basically the same layout; the inside of a typical dorm room holds a bed in the back corner. A nightstand sits beside the bed, with a desk lamp on it. The other corner hosts a small bathroom, with a sink and shower. There is a chest of drawers in the corner opposite the shower.

#### Basement

Although never really stated, it can be assumed that the trial room is housed in the basement of the school. It might resemble the grand trial room from Danganronpa 1; red curtains, golden painted podiums, and a checkerboard floor with a throne for Kurokuma.

### **Floor Two**

The second floor houses more animal themed rooms, the blocked skylight in its center, and more school classrooms to its sides. There is a gymnasium and its locker rooms, an aquarium, 2 more classrooms, a reptile room, an insect room, and a storage room.

The aquarium's front half had two tables, such as would be in a classroom. There is a blackboard on the wall that the door shares. Taking up the back half of the room is a large fish tank, reaching almost to the ceiling. It stretches the width of the back of the room, and projects into the room around a meter and a half. Inside are fish native to the seas nearby - healthy.

The reptile room's shelves line the walls, with cages stacked upon them. Inside the cages are various species of snakes, lizards, and tortoises - alive and seem to be in decent health. Thermal lights sit beside several of the cages. A door is on the east side of the room, going into the insect room. The insect room is a dimly lit room, illuminated by heating lamps. Inside various boxes and cages are insects of varying species. Beetles, stick-bugs, crickets, mantises, etc. - all seem to be in decent condition.

The storage room had non-perishable food for the students, as well as food for the fish, bugs, and reptiles. There was also changes of clothes, extra blankets and pillows, cleaning supplies, additional medical supplies, and a washing machine and dryer.

The two classrooms are on the left of the aquarium, being on the east wing. In classroom 3, the windows are boarded up. The blackboard is on the wall to the right of the door. On the blackboard are the words 'それ わ ちがう よ' ( *You've got that wrong* ) and a crude drawing of a boy with an ahoge. In classroom 4, the blackboard is on the wall to the left of the door - the opposite setup of classroom 3. The rest of the classroom is unremarkable. On the blackboard is a crudely drawn picture of two teddy bears, one black and one white. There is a door to the adjacent room: a multiple-stalled bathroom.

### **Floor Three**

The third floor houses more scientific or crafts themed rooms, the blocked skylight in its center, and more school classrooms to its sides. There is a greenhouse, a science laboratory, 3 more classrooms, an arts classroom, a library, and a mysterious locked room.

In the greenhouse, the plants are alive, yet dreary from lack of sunlight. It houses a wide variety of plants. The glass panes on the windows, unfortunately, are painted over, so one can't see outside. The science laboratory is a cleaned room, free from bacteria or diseases. It includes what is expected of a lab - metal countertops, metal tables, 3 industrial sinks, test tubes, measuring cups, bowls, and bottles. There is also a coil of conductive bronze wire, several microscopes, and locked cabinet (holding more bottles). A decal is stuck on the outside of the cabinet, warning that the chemicals inside are 'flammable' 'highly toxic' and 'explosive.' The bottles, as one could see if they looked inside the cabinet, carry similar warning labels. There doesn't seem to be a key nearby, but the cabinet door is only made of glass.

The library has books in all subjects: biographies, school books, novels (of many genres), light novels and manga, etc. There is an additional section in the back, with many news articles and files on a group called the Ultimate Despair.The art room'swindows are boarded up. Rows of table desks in the center of the room, with paint stains on them. Various palates sit on the countertops beside the sinks, stained with paint. Inside each of the cabinets house various supplies; more pigments, brushes, sandpaper, carving tools, blocks of wood and rocks for sculpting, clay, and canvases. A stack of easels rests against the opposite wall. Additionally, there is a wood carver at the far end of the counter.

The locked room has no handle. The door is the same color and texture as the walls surrounding it.

The three classrooms have two on the left of the science laboratory, being on the east wing, and the last one on the bottom between the foyer and locked room. In classroom 5, the windows are boarded up. It has a side door leading into the science lab, hinting that it was once a science classroom. The blackboard faces the wall to the right of the door. On the whiteboard are the words '正義が勝ちます！' ( *Justice wins!* ). In classroom 6, it is similar to the previous. However, the desks are a little larger and the blackboard is on the far left wall. On the blackboard is a crude drawing of a crow, and the words '私はすべてを知りたいのです。' ( *I want to know everything* ).

Classroom 7 is dark. A disturbing energy pervades throughout the entire room; the desks are gone, there are candles, burned out by now, on the ground throughout the room. If one tries to turn the light switch, it won't work. While the other rooms have boarded up windows, this room has no windows at all. On the wall are photographs of 15 high-schoolers: all strangers. On the wall opposite the door, there is a blackboard that has the words '超高校級の「絶望」' ( *Super high school class "despair"* ).

### **Floor Four**

The fourth floor houses more cinematic arts themed rooms, the blocked skylight in its center, and more school classrooms to its sides. There is an auditorium & its backstage, a tech room, a greenroom, 2 more classrooms, a music classroom, an instrument storage room, and a dance studio.

In the auditorium, there are 26 rows of red, cushioned seats enough to hold around 200 people. Stage lights are hooked all over the roof above the stage, and at the immediate front of the stage as well. The stage itself is relatively large, and stands at about 6 feet high. At either side of the stage are red curtains, that draw together to close. The backstage is past the wings for those offstage to wait. There is a set of ropes in the corner that control the movement of the lights and curtains.

The tech room is placed in the back of the auditorium. There is a set of glass windows in front of the switchboard through which one can see most of the auditorium. The only blind spot is the section immediately outside and below the room. The greenroom has a row of vanities with lights attached to the mirrors, for performers to do their hair and makeup, as well as a clothing rack. A couch and a television are also available showing a live feed of the stage, however, there is no audio function.

The music classroom has rows of chairs set up facing toward the northern wall, which carries the blackboard. Between each row of chairs there is enough space for musicians with larger instruments. In one of the back corners, there is a grand piano. The blackboard, for once, carries a normal message: '音楽レッスン：午後1時' ( *Music lesson: 1:00 pm* ) and also a drawing of a mask. The instrument room is stocked with enough instruments for an entire marching band: brasses, percussions, strings, and wind instruments in all sizes and forms. In the dance studio, two of the four walls are lined with mirrors from floor to ceiling. In the corner where the two mirror-walls meet is a small shelf holding a CD player, connected to speakers that hang from all four ceiling corners of the room. The other two walls have ballet bars bolted into them. The back wall (with the two doors) has a window with one-way glass. Viewers can see in, but the dancers cannot see out. A short shelf sits in the corner next to the southern door, with cubbies to hold bags.

The two classrooms are on the left of the foyer, being on the south wing. In classroom 8, the windows are boarded up. The blackboard faces the eastern wall. On the blackboard is a crude drawing of an arrow through the bull's-eye of an archery target. In classroom 9, it is similar to the previous. However, the blackboard is on the eastern wall; the blackboard has '私は十分ですか？' ( *Am i enough?* ) written on it.

### **Floor Five**

The fifth and final floor houses the last of the cinematic arts themed rooms, as well as faculty rooms, and the blocked skylight with a bridge going through it. There is an observatory, a film room, principal's office, teacher's lounge, secretary's office, janitor's closet, and an attic storage.

The bridge is a feature unique to this floor: the skylight in the floor (while still blocked up) has a bridge going through the center, allowing one to quickly reach the observatory from the other side of the building.

The observatory has paint on its dome on the outside and several telescopes are stationed at ports to look out windows, and a table is stationed next to each respective telescope with astronomical charts and such on it. Most of the telescopes are either not working, or have been blocked up, save for one: the largest. However, it fixed at an almost 90 degree angle to the ground.

The film room seats around 130 people. A projector sits at the window of a small control booth in the back of the room. The control booth simply holds several boxes of DVDs, a chair, and projector, while the 15-foot screen stands across. The DVDs are just popular films from several years before.

The janitor's closet is just a normal cleaning closet: cleaning spray, mops, brooms, a mop bucket, paper towels, etc. However, a trapdoor and ladder upward leads to the attic storage. Insulation lines the walls. Generators block most of the free space with a quiet hum. There is no ventilation, so the area is very stuffy, and the ceiling is only about 3 feet high. A crawl space leads into the back of the area, where the ceiling slants down to meet the floor. In that corner, there was something large and white.

The principal's office was locked; it took a five-letter password to unlock the door. The secretary's office and teacher's lounge, though, were open. While the lounge is just a normal vending-machine-present relaxation room, the shelves of the secretary's office has stacks of school files on a high school (not Hope's Peak, but a regular public one). There is a single binder sitting on the secretary's desk, bearing the Hope's Peak logo. Bookmarked inside are files on classes 77B and 78. One could flip past that, and find the files on Class 79. However, the files on this class are in a slightly smaller font than the rest, and were made with an infinitesimally paler shade of paper.

## Trivia

* By definition, 'sister locations' are businesses or buildings owned by the same company. However, since the SL cast are not the ruling company, and because the building used to be a random public high school, there's no official jurisdiction saying Hope's Peak Two is an *actual* sister location of Hope's Peak Academy.
