"Upupupup, my oh my! What a fine selection of students we have this year!" a small monochromatic bear said excitedly to himself as he shuffled through some papers on a medium sized wooden desk. On each one, a picture of a teenager with a stamp that said approved on it, and the bold letters Hope's Peak Academy, adorning the top of the paper. "I can't wait to see what this batch of hopeful students will bring to the table this year!"

"I just can't wait…." an ominous figure said behind the bear, also staring down at the papers. "Just imaging the new depths of despair they will bring." they finished as they walked towards a large set of double doors, with 15 applications left behind on the desk.

'I wonder where we're going...' a male thought to himself as he looked out the window of the plane he was on. He glance at the other passenger of the on board and mentally counted them.

'7 guys, 7 girls. That's a lot less from middle school.' he recalled to his junior high memories. "35 classmates to 14 is a big difference. I wonder if anyone else here also had a big class before." he wondered to himself aloud in a monotone voice. "Maybe I should go introduce myself to someo-"

His thoughts and sentence were cut off by the sound of the on board announcement system turning on.

"Ahem, this is your pilot speaking, We are currently arriving at our destination, I request everyone to sit in their seats and buckle their seatbelt." The man on the announcer said. Not to long afterwards, everyone was in their seats waiting to arrive, but then something of a surprise occurred. Little green masks dropped from above the seats that was connected to a tube with instructions that said, "PUT ON". Although reluctant at first, everyone put on a mask before a small green gas funneled into the tubes the mask was connected to. The last thing the passengers saw was their vision blur before passing out.
