When a letter came saying I was invited to Hope's Peak Academy as a student, I felt like I was having a heart attack. I was sure if anyone was remarkable enough in my family and deserved the title of Super High School Scion, it would be my little sister.

She technically was to become the next head of my family. But, as a secret, I couldn't resist her, and when she didn't know what to do I helped out a little.

Oh, who am I kidding?

It's more like I do everything, and she gets credit for it.

Which I'm fine with, by the way. I don't want to be a media star like she does, I don't need to be famous. Being a famous person's older brother is fine for me.

But, for some reason the letter from Hope's Peak Academy specifically said I needed to come. My sister didn't like that much to say the least, but I guess she realized I do most of her work, and she'd be better off not ticking me off about something like a dumb tantrum about a dumb school.

I'm Makoto Naegi and I'm a Super High School Level Scion.

I was nervous to say the least and quite anxious. I felt like I'd stand out wearing a suit that day, so I'd opted for my favorite jacket. It was comfy, and maybe I wouldn't be singled out for being part of the rich and famous Naegi family.

I nervously gathered up whatever determination I had sleeping inside of me and strode towards the gates of the academy.

They seemed pretty intimidating, not unlike the ones near my own home.

I gulped and thought, this school was a new start for me, and I had no idea if that was a good or bad thing.

I pushed the large gates open with a little effort and had to contain myself so I wouldn't run inside the main doors of Hope's Peak.

As I pushed open the doors, the last thought that crossed my mind before blacking out was, "Here we go."


I heavily disliked Hope's Peak Academy. I've disliked it ever since I heard it's name being mentioned. To me, it was a school only meant so the already rich and successful could become even more rich and successful. It just seems rather off, to me. I didn't like how it worked, I would deduce that an academy catering to the poor would be a better choice.

I suppose it's has one redeeming feature, the lottery, I suppose. But even so, any students chosen by the lottery are looked down upon, I've heard. It's worse that, they also seem to only recognize that person for their luck, "Super High School Level Good Luck." That's nice, now everyone can judge me as being the poor person who got in by good luck of all things.

Not that my lucks even been very good. I've never had any good luck. Or any particularly bad luck either, I suppose.

I'm in the middle, no good or bad luck.

My name is Kyouko Kirigiri and I'm the lucky person chosen by the lottery to attend the school I dislike most.

I come from a poor background, if you didn't guess. My mother works multiple part-time jobs, my father is dead, and I, as her only child attend school and do homework. We get by, but I'm not used to any luxury or excessive gifting.

My mother's insistence was the only thing that would ever make me stand before these gates today, in front of the school full of no one I knew, and probably people who had no interest in associating with me.

I only came because people who succeed from here are supposed to become rich and successful.

It'd be nice if my family could be rich. I would like it very much so if my mother didn't come home from work at ten o'clock every night, then wake up at five o'clock to start the next work day. Or have to work on weekends.

Anyways, the point is: I'm only here because I need the money that is practically tied to graduation from this school.

So I took my first steps towards the shimmering gates. My feet crunched on the gravel beneath me as I reached a hesitant hand out to open the gate, and pulled it open slowly. It opened easily on oiled hinges and I walked slowly into the school.

I had scarcely taking three steps before the hallway blurred and I felt myself falling down, falling down into a black abyss.


This was a peculiar school, the more research I did the more stranger it became.

On the outside it seemed fine. Just a school for the 'hope' of mankind.

When you dug deeper you dug up things better left hidden. Like the murder of the headmaster earlier this year that had been covered up quite well. Or the fact his daughter had been chosen from the lottery by 'luck' and was joining me in my class.

My interest was piqued, I admit that. So, when I received a letter asking me to join this school on a scholarship, I accepted.

That's what brought me to be standing in front of these gates right now.

I am Byakuya Togami, the Super High School Level Detective.

I wasn't the least bit concerned about my classmates or fitting in or any of that crap. If I wanted to, I'd fly it solo, after all my only purpose is to solve the mysteries surrounding this school. It helped I'd done research on all my classmates, and none of them looked as if they deserved any sort of attention from me. Maybe I'd talk to one of them sometimes or one will surprise me and be more than what I expected.

I pushed the gate open with no precaution and walked confidently onto the campus. I flung the doors open as I neared them and stepped inside.

Only to see the world swirl around me and turn black.
