No…my perfect plan…I can't fail now…I refuse.

Despair will rule… I will rule.

Just watch me…

"Well, I'm off." I grabbed my bag and prepared to make my way out.

"Goodbye master Ruki. I hope all goes well!" I waved goodbye to everyone who bothered to show up to my send off and made my way down the steps of our house, brimming with hope about my new school life in New Hope Academy. I get into to limo and get comfortable for the long ride to the school.

My name is Nakano Ruki. I am the only son of the Nakano family; a very powerful family with ties all over Japan. I swear, my family could make any corporation bow to our will just to get the opportunity to be a friend of the household. Me personally, I really dislike the high life. I would gladly give it all away to live in a small rural community, where there were no titles and everyone was on the same social plane.

One of the only businesses my family couldn't get a hold of is Hope's Peak Academy. They were always a mystery in our house, never responding to any attempts my parents tried to make with them. This is why I always dreamed of going there. I could go to school at a place that wouldn't treat me like an equal, not as a Nakano. Unfortunately, the school shut down for unknown reasons and the building went silent. No one knew a single thing about what had happened to it or why it was closed. Rumor has it that a psychopath trapped students and forced them to kill each other. Crazy how rumors can become so ridiculous huh?

Last month, I received a letter from what looked like Hopes Peak, inviting me to enroll in a new school they were starting, "New Hope Academy". I was a bit skeptical at first but after I started to receive letters with more information, I was finally sold and sent my letter of interest back to the school. The final letter I got was a card with my new title and a date that my orientation would be. I am now the SHSL Scion.

I look at the rearview mirror and made sure I looked decent for where I was going. Sure I hate the scion life but I want to at least represent my title in what I wear. I look and my shaggy unkempt black hair and stare into my red tinted eyes. I pull up the sleeves on my white dress shirt and straightened up my black vest, making sure all of the buttons are done. I straighten out my black tie and brush off the dust on my black pants and white shoes. It isn't a perfect outfit by any means but I hope it shows that at least care about my appearance.

I wonder how this new school will be. I haven't heard if it will use the same building as the first school or a new one entirely. What about my classmates? Sure I have a title but I still don't think I have a talent per se. Hopefully my classmates don't think of me as a stereotypical snobby, rich kid. That's the last thing I want to turn into. That's why I'm here, to get away from the scion lifestyle and finally do something with my life. My train of thought gets interrupted as the limo pulls into the school yard. The building was as beautiful as the pictures. A large fountain flows at the school gate with many courts for various courts scattered around the perimeter. I slowly take it all in as I make myself to the large doors at the front of the school. This is it. My new school life begins now. The life I've always wanted is right behind these doors. My heart flutters as I take my first steps into the building. Nothing can stop me now.

Or so I thought…

"Ugh…" My eyes slowly open as I grab my now throbbing head. What happened? Where am I? Why am I lying on the floor? I get up and take a look at my surroundings. What is this place? From what my eyes could see, It looked like a normal classroom. Not a soul in sight I walk around and check if there is anything to explain the situation I'm in. I make my way to the teacher's desk and find a note, written finely on expensive paper. The instructions on the note are clear and easy to read.

"Come to the gym right away"
