"Hey!" Talking
'Hey' Thought

I do not own the Daganronpa series.


1st Day at Hope's Peak Academy
A interesting morning

Boy's Dorm rooms, 2nd Level.
6:40 A.M.

'Alright...' short, spiky brown hair with an ahoge that moves according to his emotions. He wears a simple white shirt with the emblem of his previous high school embroidered on the hem. He wears a green tie which also bears the same emblem. He has black jeans and red-and-white sneakers. 'Better start heading to the campus...but first...' He looks at his sleeping roommate. "Hey, Kazuichi. Wake up." He uses one of his roommates fallen pillows on the floor and hits him.

The teen that tossed the pillow is Hajime Hinata, a 2nd year student and has the title of Ultimate Hope. His roommate is Kazuichi Soda, the Ultimate Mechanic and is Hajime's best friend.

"Alright alright, hang on a sec..." Kazuichi brushes off the pillow and gets off his bed. As Kazuichi to get dress, he wears a bright green-yellow jumper with a dark brown streak on both sides and several hot pink markings that go down to his ankles. Kazuichi's shoes are bright yellow sneakers. During his high school years, he wore a blue jumper and a cap.

Kazuichi's hair is dyed hot pink and is somewhat badly layered. However, he covers said bad layering up with the gray beanie he wears. In addition to his punk rock appearance, he has thin eyes with hot pink prescription color contacts on them at all times. Above his eyes, his thin, pronounced eyebrows nearly touch his hairline. His teeth are sharp, giving him an intimidating grin. He also has earrings, the right one having a plus sign and the left one having a minus sign.

"About time, come on. We're gonna be late." Hajime says to his best friend as both teens would grab their respective backpacks and head to the main gate of their school, Hopes Peak Academy.

Both of them known each other since last year when the school was recruiting the best students all around the world that had the title of Ultimate this or that and both boys were placed in the same homeroom and became good friends.

"Wonder who's gonna be in our class for the year?" Kazuichi wonders about who might be in their class since they got their schedule for the year.

"I think everyone from last year is going to be in our class. But who knows, we might get some new students as well." Hajime replies back.

"Man, I hope Miss Sonia is part of our class.." Hajime sweat drops from his best friends hope of trying to capture the heart of their classmate and friend, Sonia Nevermind, the Ultimate Princess.

"You really need to stop bringing that up." Hajime says to his best friend as they continue on with their walk to the Academy.

"Aw come on bro. Why not help a fellow brother out? Eh?" He elbows him, trying to have Hajime help him impress Sonia.

"Why not act normal for once?" Kazuichi looks at his best friend a bit confused, "You don't have to keep on addressing her as 'Miss Sonia'. All of us just address her as Sonia and she did say not to treat her as royalty."

"So you think if I do that, she might recognize me?" He perked up and felt he could do that!

'I'll just leave him be...' Hajime mutters to himself as both teens continued on with the school's main gate. Once there, both teens recognized several familiar faces.

One of them is a tall young woman with an athletic, curvaceous physique. She has tan skin, dark gray eyes, and unkempt, shoulder-length chestnut hair. During her high school years, she had long hair. Her name is Akane Owari, the Ultimate Gymnast. Akane wears a short-sleeved white shirt with the top few buttons undone, exposing a large amount of cleavage. The bottom button also appears undone, exposing her navel when she moves quickly. She also wears a red miniskirt and cream-colored loafers with no socks.

Next to her right is a teenage girl that has short, light pink hair which is slightly curled. She wears a white clip, in the shape of the spaceship from Galaga, on the left side of her bangs and has pale pink eyes, and she is wearing a Hope's Peak, on top of a cream colored hoodie, and a white shirt with a red ribbon tied to its collar. Her leg-wear consists of a pair of black thigh high socks and white loafers. Her name is Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer.

Leaning on the wall is a slim man known for having a refined face, sometimes coming off as a "baby face". Because of his rather fairly shorter build, he generally presents an overly aggressive demeanor to assert that he is, in fact, a tough gangster. He has a dusty blond crew cut hair, with a distinct pair of curved lines shaved on each side of his head. He also has freckles along the bridge of his nose and a birthmark near his mouth on the right side. His eyes are gold, and he has permanent blush marks on both cheeks. His name is Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, the Ultimate Yakuza.

Befitting his title, Fuyuhiko dresses in traditional yakuza fashion: well-tailored suits. In the game, he wears a two-piece suit consisting of a dark pinstripe jacket and pants over a white dress shirt. His tie is brown-black with an animal skull emblem on it, and he wears black dress shoes with a platform heel. On his left lapel is a pin that is in the shape of the emblem of the Kuzuryu family, and he wears two silver rings on his right hand. He later wears a black eyepatch with a white, round dragon pattern.

Standing to Fuyuhiko's right is a tall, young woman, who wears a black/dark turquoise schoolgirl uniform with a red tie or ascot. Her skirt is somewhat short and she wears dark tights underneath it with white loafers. She has long, silver hair that she ties up into two braids on either side of her head with white ribbons securing each braid at the top, and two red ties to hold each braid together at the bottom. Her eyes are also bright red. Peko also wears thin framed rectangular glasses. Her name is Peko Pekoyama, the Ultimate Swordswoman.

She is constantly seen carrying her shinai (bamboo sword) around with her in a dark turquoise sheath/wrap with a silver/white design on the back. The shinai has a metal katana blade hidden at the center of its bamboo wrappings, which Peko likely uses when protecting and hunting people on Fuyuhiko's orders.

On the left side of the gate is a tall, young woman with long light-blonde hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. She wears a green and white dress with a large red ribbon with a blue and silver jewel on the chest and a dark green, almost black, ribbon with diamonds in her hair. She also wears a bracelet on her left wrist, black and gray thigh high socks, and red mary janes. Her name is Sonia Nevermind, the Ultimate Princess.

"Mornin'." Hajime greets his friends as both Kazuichi and himself approach the gate.

"Morning Hajime." Chiaki greets her friend but is somewhat distracted with her game.

"Good morning Hajime." Sonia greets her friend as well politely.

"Mornin'." Akane response back as well.

"Hey." Is all Fuyuhiko and Peko response back to Hajime.

"Thought everyone would be here on time..." Hajime notices that some of their friends are not here.

"I believe that they should arrive any minute now." Sonia replies back, "It is our first day back at the academy."

"Right as always Miss Sonia." Hajime and the others rolled their eyes from Kazuichi's comment.

"Man what's taking them?" Akane asks the group, "Thought the school's main gate would open by now."

"Yeah now that you mention it..." Fuyuhiko takes a look of his watch and it reads 7:00 A.M., "The gates should have been open by now."

"Wonder what's taking them. Normally the gates should open by now." Hajime raises an eyebrow and starts to rattle the gate. "Don't see anything wrong but Akane, can you check the circuit box? It should be close to you."

"Got it." Akane would check the circuit box by her. Opening it up, she sees some of the wires mess up, "Hey Kazuichi, I think I might need your help over here. The wires are messed up." That caught everyone by surprised. Kazuichi would take a look at see some parts are missing, the wires on different places and tangled up, "What do you think?"

"Hmm...should be an easy fix. Let me fix this..." He then takes out some tools and some rubber gloves as he doesn't want to get zapped by the wires and other electronic components. While Kazuichi does what he can to fix the wires and circuits, more students start arriving.

"Hey guys." A teen that has dark red hair in a bob cut, olive green eyes, and a pale face with light freckles across her cheeks and has her camera strap around her neck. Her name is Mahiru Koizumi, the Ultimate Photographer.

Mahiru's outfit consists of an olive-green school jumper with a plaid white-and-orange tie, which she knots around the collar of her uniform shirt. She wears dark green knee-high socks, and her shoes are a dark shade of forest green. Directly below the opening of the socks, there is a small orange symbol.

"Hey Mahiru." Hajime greets the red hair teen.

"Who's she?" Akane asks the little girl coming towards their direction.

The little girl has pale skin, reddish-brown, and chin-length red hair. Her most notable trait is her black "witch hat", with a red strip around the middle of it, a small pin on the cloth. She also has a quite short stature and round face, giving her quite a young appearance. The right corners of her upper lips are slightly curled up, and her eyes are lazily lidded, reflecting how easily tired she gets.

She also wears brown medieval boots with white ribbons tied around her ankles, dark brown tights, and a pleated bubble red skirt. Around her shoulders is a black blazer with grey accents, with a grey blouse underneath a brown sweater vest. On the pocket of her blazer is an insignia of her previous high school, and gold buttons adorn her blazer.

Some of her hair is hidden underneath the witch hat she wears on her head. She also wears a hairpin on the right side of her bangs, which resembles a blue gem. The same similar gems appear as cufflinks on her sleeves.

"Must be a new student." Sonia says to the group as the little girl approaches them, "Hello." She greets her.

" 'Lo." The little girl replies back but a bit lazily.

"You must be new here right? I'm Sonia Nevermind, 2nd year student of Hope's Peak Academy."

"Prepare to be amazed. Fall to your knees. I am Himiko Yumeno, the Ultimate Mage. But... I'm officially called the Ultimate Magician." Everyone sweat drops from the title she gave them and she continues, "I'm known as a magician, but that's just a ruse. I'm actually... a mage. A group trying to hide magic's existence from the world labeled my magic as tricks. Because of this ruse, I became famous all over the world for performing magic tricks. But... I'm not a magician... I'm a mage... Nobody believes me..."

"Amazing! Mages do exist?" Sonia asks the girl and wonders more from this girl where as everyone raises an eyebrow.

"Yes they do. While I may be a Ultimate Magician, I'm still pretty much an apprentice." Himiko stated to the group, "I'm a new student from the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles."

"Is that another branch of the Academy?" Fuyuhiko asks the question this time, "Didn't think there was another fuckin' branch."

"Same here. To think we had a sub-branch." Kazuichi says as he continues on fixing the panel.

"The Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles was established couple of years after the main academy was built. Those who couldn't make it to the main academy was put in the other sub-branches as compensation until there was room for students to transfer over." Himiko stated to the group as Kazuichi finally finished fixing the main gate.

"There we go." He whips some sweat from his forehead, "Didn't think this would take me awhile." He approaches the gang and sees more new students. "Guess this school year is going to be more interesting with more Ultimates."

"Wonder what their talents are." Hajime mutters to himself. "Well, we might as well introduce ourselves to-"

Attention, Attention. All the students turn their attention to the microphone by the gate, A body has been discovered! Buhuhuhu! Now then, after a certain amount of time has passed, a Class Trail will begin!

Everyone stood there in shock and their jaws dropped. No one thought that their first day back at school or those who just recently came via transfer, would expect a murder to happen.

"W-w-w-what!?" Kazuichi started to panic, "A body?!"

"There...was a murder inside the school?" Mahiru said disbelief, still trying to grasp on the situation.

"This has to be some kind of sick joke! Who the fuck would kill someone!?" Fuyuhiko yells in anger.

"At any rate, we might have to get this over with. Let's go see this body..." Everyone would then nod their heads and went to the scene of the crime and the other students would join them after hearing said announcement. 'Just what the hell is going on? To think this school year has to start out like this...' Hajime and the others are trying to figure out what just happened.


And that ends the chapter guys! The Ultimates are now dealing with murder?! Who are both the victim and the murderer in this situation?! I will explain as to why this is more of High School type story rather then the traditional story in the next chapter.

Also there will be pairings also sort of harems in the story so who's gonna pair up with who?

I hope to hear what you guys think of the chapter and as always, I will talk to you all later.
