A/N: Welcome to my first noncrossover series! I hope you like it. I made one twist in the regular story. This is a non-Despair AU and the 77th and 78th classes are classified as seniors, so I guess that makes 77th class the 78th-B class then. I'm not sure. I'll call them 77th so no one is confused.

MAKOTO'S POV:
I sighed. It's another day in my normal life at Hope's Peak. Even at a school filled with Ultimates, my life is still mundane. I looked around my class and saw that I was the only one here. I guess that's what I get for coming so early.
"Why do I even come? Attendance is optional." I complained before laying my head on my desk. Oh yeah, my mom doesn't want me to waste this great opportunity. The school built for cultivating hope... and I'm lucky enough to win my chance to get in through a random lottery...Therefore, I'm the Ultimate Luckster.
I heard the door to my classroom slam shut. I guess that's Chihiro. I heard heels clicking, slightly getting louder with every step. Wait, Chihiro doesn't wear heels. Is it Celeste or Fukawa? I hope it's Maizono.
I looked up from my desk and saw the most beautiful girl I ever laid my eyes on. She had shiny purple hair with a single braid hanging over her shoulder. She had purple eyes and a pale complexion. She wore a dark purple leather jacket with a matching set of gloves. Underneath the jacket, she had a golden tie and a white clean dress shirt. To finish off her outfit, she was wearing a dark purple mini skirt and a knee high boots. Wow...
"Are you done staring?" Her voice is smooth. It's like silk. "I'll take that as a no."
She turned her back to me and her hair flipped. I snapped out of my spell.
"So-Sorry." I got up and grabbed her hand. "I was surprised to straight to me."
"Obviously, you're the only one here." Even though her voice lacked some emotion, I was impressed with how direct she was.
"Oh yeah," I chuckled while rubbing the back of my head. "Are you new here?"
"Yes, I just transferred here. Technically, I was supposed to be here at the beginning of the school year, but I had some...things to finish up."
"I guess I'm your classmate then," I smiled. "I'm Makoto Naegi, and I'm the Ultimate Luckster."
"Luckster...interesting..." She thought for a moment before turning back to me. "I am Kirigiri Kyoko."
"Kirigiri...That's cool. You have the last name of our principal." I laughed. I stopped laughing when I realized that she was glaring at me. Did I say something wrong? "So Kirigiri, did someone show you around?"
"No, I was told to go to the very top go to the first classroom on the floor."
"Do you want me to show you around? It's no trouble at all."
"I'm fine. I explored the building when I came here." She answered as she pulled a piece of paper out of her jacket pocket. "Also, they gave me a map of the school."
"Of course..." I hung my head. So much for getting to know her.
"However, I would I like to know why no one else is here. I was told school starts at 8:00 am sharp." She looks around and noticed how many desks, really every desk, was empty.
"Oh attending class is optional, the only thing that matter is passing a skill test at the end of the year," I answered.
"A skill test?"
"Yeah, at the end of the year, the school picks four teachers and test every student's specialty." She looked at me with a skeptical face. "Like last year, our classmate, Chihiro who is the Ultimate Programmer, revealed a computer program called Alter Ego."
"Alter Ego? What was special about this program?" She took the seat in front of mine, which was the one in the second row and next to the window.
"Chihiro explains it better, but I can try to summarize it. Alter Ego is like an A.I that can mimic any person imaginable. It just needs their name, and Alter Ego can copy their face, voice, tone, and reaction perfectly."
"That's impressive. How do they test you, The Ultimate Luckster?"
"Oh, my test is pretty typical for a normal high school. I get a multiple choice test filled with random questions like 'What's the best temperature to make ice cream?' or 'What's the best powder to use when you're doing gymnastics?"
"...None of that goes along with your abilities, though. You're too skinny to be into gymnastics." Kirigiri said bluntly.
"I know. I'm supposed to rely on my luck, and if I get at least a 50%, I get to stay another year."
"Then, you must be very lucky to be senior." She smirked.
"Oh my, someone new is here." Yep, that's Celeste. The infamous gambler closed the door herself and made her way over to us. "I assume you're a new student."
"I am. Who are you?" Kirigiri stood up and offered her hand. "My name is Kirigiri Kyoko."
"I am Celestia Ludenberg, the Ultimate Gambler, but everyone calls me 'Celeste'." She shook her hand with her usual award winning smile. "I hope that we can get along."
"As do I," Kirigiri said before sitting back down. Celeste waved us goodbye before taking her her across the classroom.
"Celestia Lundenberg...why is she sitting all the way over there?"
"Oh don't worry about that." I waved her question off. I looked at the clock. "Yamada should be in 5...4...3...2..."
As I predicted, Yamada came running with Celeste's tea ready. The large fanfic writer poured the tea and waited for her evaluation. He's been doing this for four years, and he's still scared of her. I guess that's reasonable, though. He was so focused on pleasing Celeste that he didn't notice Kirigiri.
"Do you want to over there and introduce yourself?"I asked.
"No, it's alright." She sighed. "How many people usually come to school?"
"I think about everyone comes to school. It's just that not everyone attends class." I answered.
"Let me rephrase it. How many people are coming to class?"
"Oh, I want to say about 12 or 13 people," I answered as two more people walked in. "Here's two more people."
"Good morning Makoto." Ikusaba waved as she and her friend walked over to us. "You must be the new student."
"Yes, I am. I go by Kirigiri Kyoko. Who are you two?"
"I'm Ikusaba Mukuro, the Ultimate Soldier." She answered before pointing to the other girl. "This is Fukawa Toko, the Ultimate Writing Prodigy."
"Is she a mute?" Kirigiri said with a blank stare. I choked on air when she said that. That was savage.
"N-No! Oh god," I coughed before Ikusaba had the chance to pull out her knife. "Why would you say that?"
"It was an honest question. I wanted to know as a precaution."
"Yo-You haven't be-been here for 5 minutes, and I'm be-being bullied," Fukawa spoke up. "So much for th-thinking, there's go-good in people."
"Fukawa, you don't think the best of people either." Ikusaba reminded her before turning to Kirigiri. "As for you, please be more considerate next time."
"I will do my best. I'm sorry for the inconveniences." Kirigiri apologized.
"It's okay. At least, she didn't say something like that to The Elites, right?" I said as a way to calm the situation.
FUKAWA'S POV:
"Do-Don't say that!" I shouted while pointing my finger at Makoto. "They mi-might appear!"
"Who are the Elites?"Kirigiri foolishly asked. She's really is an idiot. They're known worldwide!
"Seriously? You haven't heard of them." Makoto looked visibly shocked.
"Ho-How about we st-stop talking about them?" Ugh, they're pretentious.
"Fukawa, they're not coming after you." Ikusaba reminded. "The Elites are nothing more than the popular group."
"Wh-Who can destroy an-anyone they choose!" I shouted.
"Come now, Fukawa," Celeste entered the conversation with her pet Yamada in tow. "This is no way to act, no less in front of our new classmate."
"A new character?" That pathetic writer's interest was peaked.
"Di-Didn't you notice her when you came i-in?" I rolled my eyes.
"No, Yamada knows what to do when he first enters the class." Celeste smiled as she reminded us that she tamed him. "Now, Yamada, please, introduce yourself."
"Yes, Ms. Celeste." The fatass moved until he was face to face with the new girl. "I am Yamada Hifumi, the Ultimate Fanfic Writer. If you ever need something, do not hesitate to ask."
"Duly noted, I'm Kirigiri Kyoko. It's nice to meet you."
"As Ms. Kirigiri, I am sure you will like it here," Lardass said before moving behind Celeste.
"Now, back to the Elites. Are you certain you never heard of them?" Celeste asked.
"No, but from what I can gather, they rule the school," Kirigiri answered after a brief moment of thinking.
"You're close. It's the world you should be thinking." Celeste corrected, specifically looking for the shock in Kirigiri's eyes, but the girl wasn't fazed. "The Elites are apart of the 1%. They influence nearly every aspect of the world, from the world's economy to what's considered popular. If you happen to upset one of them, then well they'll destroy everything and everyone you care about."
"They're quite the influential group. Who's in the group?" Kirigiri asked as Chihiro and Mondo walked in.
"Yo guys, what's up," Mondo said they sat their stuff down in their seats.
"Good morning everyone." Chihiro smiled.
"This is perfect timing," Celeste said. "Chihiro, may we borrow your laptop for a second? We're explaining The Elites to the new student."
"A new student?" Chihiro tilted his head. I don't know why he insists on wearing that skirt. We all know he's a guy, and Mondo literally beat the crap out of every guy who made fun of him. Mondo lifted the small programmer off the floor and onto his shoulders to have a better view of Kirigiri. "Oh hello, I'm Chihiro Fujisaki. I'm the Ultimate Programmer."
"It's nice to finally meet you Chihiro. I heard great things about you." Kirigiri shook his hand. "I'm Kirigiri Kyoko."
"Re-Really?!" Chihiro was never the type who could get used to compliments.
"Yeah Chihiro, the shit you be doing is fucking awesome." Mondo laughed.
"Who might you be?" Kirigiri got straight to the point as she stared at Mondo.
"Huh? Oh, I'm Mondo Oowada, the Ultimate Outlaw Biker. It's nice to fucking meet you."
"Likewise," She looked up at the petite programmer. "May we use your laptop?"
"Oh sure." Mondo placed Chihiro back on the floor. Shortly after, Chihiro came over with his computer. He placed it on Kirigiri's desk so she could see everything.
"Who should we do first?" Ikusaba asked.
"How about Maizono?" Makoto suggested.
"Yo-You mean that blue hair ai-airhead?" I scoffed.
"Don't be like that Fukawa. She got us backstage tickets to her last performance." Ikusaba tried reasoning with me.
"I-I nearly went deaf with all that sc-screaming!"
"Maizono..." Kirigiri thought as Chihiro pulled up a class picture. It's a miracle we even got everyone to take the damn thing. With Maizono saying her schedule are hectic, I thought we just photoshop her in.
"Here's a class picture of us at the school pool." Chihiro pulled up that one. Celeste and I were the only ones who didn't change into swimsuits. But why would I? Those things are tacky. He pointed at the only girl with blue hair. "That's Maizono."
"Hmm..." She took a quick glance at the girl before reverting back to her thinking stance. "I don't know her."
All of our jaws dropped to the floor when those words left her mouth.
"You're shitting me..." Mondo said with his eyes wide open.
"Ho-How?" Makoto said, slightly shaken by the news. "She's an international pop star."
"That's why. I don't listen to pop music."
"That's reasonable." Celeste recovered. "Let'see about Togami."
"Togami...as in Togami Byakuya?" Kirigiri asked.
"Ah, so you do know him? This makes this a bit easier."
"Faintly, I just heard some students talking about her in the hallway."
...
...
...
...
"Did you call Togami a girl?" Ikusaba asked double checking we heard this right.
"Isn't she a she?"
"Excuse me! Why are you all crowding the window?" Ishimaru busted through the door and marched over to us. "It is 8 am, so class has started!"
"Chill Ishimaru, we're hangin with the new girl." Mondo, the only person who control Ishimaru, stepped in.
"I see. Where is this 'new girl'? I was not informed of a new person!" Ishimaru proclaimed at the top of his lungs.
"I assume that is because I specifically did not want to cause any problems for anyone." Kirigiri bluntly put it as she stood up. Nevertheless, she shook Ishimaru's hand. "I am Kirigiri Kyoko. You must be Ishimaru."
"My apologies! I am Ishimaru Kiyotaka, the Ultimate Moral Compass." He bowed with his hands to the side. "I will give you a proper tour of the school once school is over."
"There's no need for that." She sat back down and turned to Chihiro. "As we were discussing, is Togami a male or female."
"Togami is no doubt a male!" Ishimaru shouted.
"I'm not to-touching that bomb." I sweatdropped.
"So what does Togami specialize in?" Kirigiri really did know how to stay focused.
"He's the Ultimate Affluent Prodigy. He's the heir to the Togami company, so that makes him worth more than every person in this room right now." Ikusaba explained.
"And then there's the Queen..." I sighed. "She floats above everyone else. She never has any problem."
"And who would that be?" Kirigiri dared to ask.
"The biggest bitch ever to exist, Junko Enoshima."
"Doesn't ring a bell." She said flatly.
"Ms. Kirigiri, su-surely you're joking? You never heard of her?" Fatass stuttered.
"Junko Enoshima...the fashion model...trend setter...anything?" Chihiro listed.
"To be honest, I never heard of this person."
"Thank goodness, we caught you before you actually met them." Makoto sigh in relief. "I can only imagine what they would do if they found out."
"What's the worst thing they can possibly do?"
"Last week, Junko found a strand of hair in her salad, so she got it tested. It was a reserved student who was happened pass by her." Chihiro explained. "To make a long story short, she shipped him and his whole class to the poorest part Africa as punishment. Now, the school is working to find the students, and Junko doesn't want to tell them where exactly they are."
"That's illegal. I am sure that can be classified as some form of kidnapping."
"Junko doesn't care." We said in perfect unity, every Ishimaru join in.
"Junko has committed several crimes, but her fans and wealth protect her." Celeste clarified.
"Hasn't the government tried to step in?" Kirigiri asked with a straight face.
We all avoided looking at her because we all knew very well what happened last time the government tried to stop Junko. Ugh, that was almost a disaster.
"You must be living under a rock or something because she almost ended the world with her crazy ass." Leon and Hagakure finally arrived.
"And who are you two?" Kirigiri asked.
"Oh shit, we got a new student. I'm Leon Kuwata, the Ultimate Baseball Star." He claimed before pointing to Hagakure. "And this bum is Hagakure."
"Hey, I'm not a bum! I am a Fortune Teller for the last time."
"Hagakure, where do you live again?" Asahina and Sakura walked in, drenched in water from probably the pool. Damn swimming freak!
"Underneath a bridge, why?"
"You just proved Leon's point." She sighed before turning around and seeing Kirigiri. "Oh, my holy donuts! We have a new student!"
She would've tackled Kirigiri to the ground had it not been for the bulk of muscle known as Sakura.
"You four must the other students. Including me, that would make it 13 students accounted for." Kirigiri figured out.
"Yep! I'm Asahina Aoi, the Ultimate Swimmer." She said with a smile on her face. She's too hyper for her own good.
"I am Sakura Oogami. It is nice to have another female in our class." Sakura offered her hand. Without thinking twice, Kirigiri shook her hand, not any emotion. This girl is just a monotone as Ikusaba.
"It's nice to meet the four of you. I am Kirigiri Kyoko." She looked around the room. "Is the teacher usually this late?"
"Yeah, it's a Monday, so he probably has a hangover," Asahina explained. "He's a bit of a drinker."
"Mo-More like a heavy drinker." I scoffed.
"It's not that bad."
I walked over to the supply cabinet and opened it, revealing enough alcohol to intoxicate a dinosaur.
"Is th-this a bit to you?"
"So the teacher is hungover. Who's next in charge?" Kirigiri asked.
"The class president," Leon answered with his arms folded.
"Who would that be?"
"Junko, but she doesn't really come to class or go to any of the meetings."
"Then, why is she the class president?"
"Is that really a question at this point?" Leon said skeptically. "We kinda just stop caring what the hell she does."
"Since no one can get through to Junko, we handle we everything ourselves," Chihiro explained while he closed his laptop. "Celeste, Makoto, and I take turns going to the class president meetings. Asahina, Leon, and Ishimaru handle the day to day stuff. Everyone else helps where ever they can."
"An interesting setup you all have made." Kirigiri paused to think.
"Well yeah, we've been doing this for like three years." Makoto chuckled softly.
"I know what I have to do now," Kirigiri said. "Where can I find these so call 'Elites'?"
"If I had to guess, Togami would be in the library, but Junko and Maizono could be anywhere on campus," Asahina answered. "Why do you ask?"
"I'm going to confront them, of course."
A/N: That's it for the first chapter. Tune in next time to see how Kirigiri fares against the Elites. Please review in the mean time. Oh I'm might change the POV to another student in the next chapter.
