"School is now in session! The Ultimate Academy is having a talent scout for people across the country! Sign up here!"

"Hmmm… I feel like I wouldn't get accepted… I'm just a violinist who's known across my neighborhood… plus, I'm not even good…"

Jinkaku Hen

The school that I would be entering stood right before me. I, Otome Nakayama, would be attending the school with the most pristegie. The Ultimate Academy. I'm an Ultimate, or as some people call it, "Super High School Level". The SHSL Violinist. I've been known for quite some time now, but I wanted to attend a school with people like me. With… talent. Even though I'm not that confident in my playing skills… I'd be a normal violinist if it wasn't for me learning when I was 2… But, that's what I get for having overly musical parents, wanting their child to be just like them. N-not saying that I don't like my talent, or anything… there are some really beautiful pieces that I r-really enjoy to play… But, I'm really excited to attend the Ultimate Academy. I… just hope I look the part, with my old school's uniform, my purple, really curly hair… I don't know. But… "As long as I go forward, good things are bound to happen!" I said to myself as I walked in the building.

OH, HOW WRONG I WAS.

My head got dizzy and I passed out on the doorway. When I awoke again, I was lying on a desk inside a classroom, with other people surrounding me.

"Hey! She's finally awake! Took her long enough…"

"I've been busy playing with her hair… it's so curly!"

"Well, that's just creepy!"

"Huh?... Who… are you?" I asked the group of people staring at my desk. The first person to answer me was wearing a beret and a paint-covered smock-dress. She had blonde hair and bright, blue eyes.

"I'm Fuka Okada. C'mon, guys, I can't be the only person who introduces themselves!"

"Ugh… fine…" another replied.

This person had on a khaki shirt with navy ripped jean-shorts. She had dark, brown-red hair and hazel eyes. They were more of a golden color though, but I thought they were hazel.

"Hanako Shoken. Super High School Level Gardener. Fuka-chan! You have to say your talent!"

Hanako Shoken: SHSL Gardener

"Fine… I'm the SHSL Canvas Artist. I specialize in paintings, mainly watercolors. Nice to meet you!"

Fuka Okada: SHSL Canvas Artist

"I'm Otome Nakayama. Super High School Level Violinist." I replied with a grin. "Oh, I've heard a few of your songs! Your cover of Vivaldi's 4 seasons was my favorite, to be exact." Fuka replied. "C-can I introduce myself…. You guys haven't seen me yet, and I want to let them know I exist…" a boy with a dark black denim jacket and white t-shirt said. His hair was a dark, bushy, brown and he had navy blue eyes. "Well, sure. I haven't met you yet. Wait, were you here this whole time watching Nakayama-san?" Hanako replied. "Yes…" the boy answered.

"My name is Haruto Susuke. I… was only here because of lottery… but, it's nice to meet you, Otome-san."

Haruto Susuke: SHSL Lucky Student

"Lottery? That means you're pretty lucky to be here!" Hanako said excitedly. "Yeah, no duh." Haruto replied. "That's… ahem… interesting… although… it's much better to have talent though…" a girl with a long, magenta, ponytail said. She was wearing a lilac tank-top with a magenta-rose sash, and a pink and white striped skirt. The girl had lilac eyes and a lilac rose hair clip. She seemed full of herself. "Well, that's rude! It took Susuke-kun a lot of time, and money most likely, to get here!" Fuka said to the girl. "But… he should be amazed by my skills! I can have almost any personality!"

"It's only true of Kimora Hattatsu, the Super High School Level Actress! Lights, camera, ACTION!"

Kimora Hattatsu: SHSL Actress

"You look like the type who's over dramatic about everything." Hanako said to her. "Well, duh! I'm an actress! Did you seriously not hear me before?" Fuka shook her head and sighed. "Guys…" I said with a serious tone, "Can I meet everyone else?" A male with a traditional male Japanese school uniform and a navy blue buzz cut then stood up from his desk and replied, "Of course! Everyone, get up from your desk and make a line! Otome Nakayama will meet everyone here, including myself!" "Ugh… really, Riku-senpai?... Just because you're the oldest here doesn't mean you get to make the rules!" a girl with bright yellow hair and pink highlights said. She was wearing a ripped denim vest and a light gray t-shirt. Her pants were faded blue jeans. Her eyes were dark blue as well.

"I'm first! Deal with it! My name is Riku Yamaguchi. I am the Super High School Level Security Guard!"

Riku Yamaguchi: SHSL Security Guard

"Yamaguchi-san here is a bit of a stuck up… so don't be surprised if he goes all weird and stuff…" the yellow haired girl with the pink highlights said. "I'm not a stuck up! I'm just confident in my job!" Riku yelled back.

"Anyways, Otome-san, I'm Moriko Miyu. S-H-S-L Choreographer."

Moriko Miyu: SHSL Choreographer

"Did I say it was your turn?" Riku yelled. "Who gives a crap?" Moriko replied, "I can do what I want. I'm my own person." "Anyway…" I sighed. "Oh, right. Everyone else! Say your name and talent!" Riku stated. A male wearing a sweatshirt with a wave on it and red shorts came up to the front of the line. His hair was dark brown and slicked back. He had… diving goggles on the top of his head. His eyes were a lighter, softer brown. "Hello! Otome-chan, I hope to get along with you and the others!" he said with a cheerful tone.

"I'm Masahito Koki, and I'm the Super High School Level Scuba Diver! Nice to meetcha!"

Masahito Koki: SHSL Scuba Diver

"Hi, Masahito-kun." I replied with a light smile, "Also, why is everyone treating me like royalty? Just because I woke up last? Is that it?" "Yeah, basically…" Haruto said from the corner. "Ugh… I should be the one who is treated like royalty!" Kimora yelled. "Ugh… what did you do to get in the acting business? You clearly don't deserve it." Moriko yelled. "Guys, please stop… you're distracting me from thinking." a girl with seafoam green hair and pale blue eyes said. She was wearing a yellow and blue sailor uniform with a green tie and cat kneesocks. She also had a pink crescent moon choker on her neck. "Like what? About how you wanna leave this annoying bunch?" Hanako asked her. "No… my talent." the girl replied. "How does one forget their talent?" Riku stated. "I guess if you're me…" she said.

"I'm Koharu Fujita."

Koharu Fujita: SHSL ?

"She's probably really suspicious! A spy from the normal world to see how we really act!" Kimora yelled. "Probably not… she probably knew before coming here, and maybe waking up in the classroom made her forget." Fuka stated calmly. "Fuka-chan has a good point…" Masahito replied. "But still… she's suspicious. Kimora-san is right." a male from the corner of the classroom said. He had really tidy sienna brown hair with an old fashioned suit with the main color scheme of olive green and tan. He had a pocket watch with an eagle engraved on it residing on his shoulder. His eyes were a dark red. "Ugh… I'm tired of people calling me suspicious… to be honest, I'm just like every one of you." Koharu sighed. "Ok, ok… sheesh… you could've told us beforehand… Sorry, Fujita-san."

"My name is Hideki Gomen, and I am the SHSL Pilot."

Hideki Gomen: SHSL Pilot

"No, no, it's fine. Don't worry about it." Koharu stated calmly. "You should worry about it! She might be a murderer!" a short, edgy looking male said from the corner. He had a black pompadour and had a heavy amount of eye makeup on, it looked like he had no scleras on his eyes. He wore a t-shirt that said, "sk8 m8" in the color orange, and ripped jeans. His skin was a bit tanner than everyone elses. "Whaaa?" Fuka exclaimed in shock, "I don't believe such a cute looking girl would be a murderer! She's… too… well, cute!" Koharu's face flushed red. "I-I… d-d-don't think I'm c-c-cute…" she exclaimed.

"Oh well. Whatever. Anyways, the name's Troy. I'm the SHSL Skateboarder, if you haven't already noticed."

Troy: SHSL Skateboarder

"Do you have a last name?" Hanako asked him. "I… prefer not to say it. Personal reasons. But, whatevs!" Troy said. "Also, 'Troy' is an english name…" Hideki stated. "Cuz english is cooler!" he replied. "I'd hate to agree with him, but he's right." Masahito said. "Anyway, NEXT!" Riku yelled at the top of his lungs. A male with dirty blonde hair and an oversized red sweatshirt walked to the front of the line. He had a hazy brown eye color and also wore baggy grey sweatpants. "Eh, I don't feel like it." he said as he put his hands in his pockets, "Wait, where's my phone?" The rest of the people in the room began searching their pockets for their cellphones. "I CAN'T FIND MINE EITHER! WE'RE DOOMED!" Kimora practically screamed. "Crap! I can't find mine as well!" Moriko yelled. "Maybe it has something to do with the atmosphere of this classroom? Just a guess…" Hideki stated. To be fair, he was right. The windows of the classroom were bolted shut and there were spiderwebs on the boards. The paint was scratching off of the walls. "Yeah, that might be an aspect." I replied. "Yeah! Maybe whoever put us in the classroom took our phones!" Hanako said with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, but my talent relies on it. You see, I'm the SHSL Blogger. Etsuji Yuto."

Etsuji Yuto: SHSL Blogger

"No wonder you're so upset about it." Haruto said, "You really do rely on it." "Sorta, yeah. Anyways, Riku-kun, continue." Etsuji replied. The next person to walk up was a female with orange red hair and a brownish-pink blouse with an olive green skirt. She had a tiny pair of scissors in the pocket of her blouse. Her eyes were a pale green. "Hi!" she waved. "State your name and talent!" Riku yelled.

"I'm Mari Shimoda. Super High School Level Hairstylist!"

Mari Shimoda: SHSL Hairstylist

"Is that why your hair is so outrageous?" Haruto pointed out. Her hair had a giant amount of frizz but then two buns in the back. There was some fringe at the ends, but mainly frizz. "I wasn't planning on this style, but that's what I had to go with. Also, it wasn't as frizzy as it was when I went into the building." she stated. "NEXT!" Riku yelled. A male wearing what seemed to be a horse-riding cap and a white turtleneck with a black sweater came up. His pants were slim, black jeans. His hair was a golden bowl-cut. His eyes were also as golden as his hair. "Dude, just by looking at you, I can already tell you're the Super High School Level Equestrian! Your clothes say it all!" Troy remarked to the boy. "Yeah. Lucky guess."

"My name is Jin Goto, and if you haven't already heard from the shorty over there, I'm the SHSL Equestrian."

Jin Goto: SHSL Equestrian

"And the final two! Blue haired-san and Spike-kun… OK, I don't know your names exactly, so I just guessed by your hair…" Riku said with a confused tone. "Whatever." the male with the bright orange spiked hair said. He wore a shirt that had a number 8 on it, in my eyes I saw a jersey. He had white shorts and dark green sneakers. He had freckles and bright, blue eyes.

"Yo! I'm Atomu Kuroda! I'm the SHSL Soccer Pro! If you haven't seen, already!"

Atomu Kuroda: SHSL Soccer Pro

"I have never seen your skills, Kuroda-kun. But, that's alright." the blue haired girl said. She wore a yellow blazer with a red plaid skirt and tie to match. Her knee socks were dark orange and her shoes were a dark brown. She wore red framed glasses and a red, plaid headband. Her eyes were dark green.

"My name is Kaori Matsuo. I am the Super High School Level Historian. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Kaori Matsuo: SHSL Historian

"Well, Otome-chan, have you gotten yourself acquainted with us yet?" Masahito asked me. I looked around the whole room and stared at the faces surrounding me. I finally decided that everyone here had their own personalities with some sort of secret. I didn't know exactly what they were, but… I managed. "Yeah, I guess I have." I replied. "Great! Now to find a way out of this classroom…" Moriko said as she looked at the windows, "We obviously can't use the windows. They're bolted shut." "Way to go, you frickin genius!" Troy yelled to her. "I'll try the door!" Hanako said as she went for the door. She pushed harder on it, but it wouldn't move. "UGH! It's locked! I just wanna get back to my garden!" she yelled. "But… there probably isn't a garden in this school. It's on the outside, which we clearly can't see." Hideki replied. "There might be a greenhouse!" Fuka remarked. "How would you know that if we CAN'T EVEN LEAVE A CLASSROOM?" Atomu yelled. "Hang on… maybe there's some sort of trap door or something? I read one time in a novel that in order to escape a locked classroom that the protagonist was trapped in, he looked for a trapdoor…" Koharu stated. "It's worth a shot." Etsuji said. Everyone in the room then began to place their hands on the floor, adjusting their positions to feel for a small, hard to see, knob of a door. "Guys! I think I found something!" Kimora said as the whole class, including myself, came over to her. There, underneath Kimora's hand, was a small, hard to see, knob. "You ready guys? This is gonna be a hard stunt!" she asked the group. "We're ready!" the rest of us said in unison. She opened the door, and we all, one by one, jumped down. None of us were hurt when we fell to the floor below us, thank God, but there was something we didn't notice before. We were inside of a gym. There was a stage, bleachers, podium, and all. Even basketball hoops were on the sides of the walls. "Cool! We're in a gym!" Atomu yelled excitedly as he marveled at the design. "Aren't we supposed to be in school?" Kaori asked us. "Eh, who cares about that? We just were locked in a classroom, I don't think those teachers trust me." Troy stated. "So you think the teachers are behind this? I haven't seen anyone besides ourselves here." Moriko stated. "True…" Hideki remarked. "There's a door over there!" Fuka yelled. We all turned our heads around, and there, in the corner of the gym, was the door. "Let's go!" I called. We all ran towards the door, but as soon as I opened it… a siren went off and the door was bolted shut.

"Weee Ooo Weee Ooo! Nobody is allowed to leave until I get some ground rules across!"

"What was that voice? It sounds like a child…" Haruto asked us. I shrugged. "Maybe it's the principal." Jin stated. "But… how can a principal of such an esteemed school be so young? It's a flaw in the system." Mari remarked. Maybe… it's the other students from the other class? Playing some sort of welcome prank?... I thought. I was probably wrong though.

"Come on, come towards the stage!"

"Eek! There it is again!" Fuka shrieked. "You don't have to be scared, it's probably not that bad…" Masahito stated. We then all stared at each other.

"Come onnnnn! Don't keep me waiting!"

I was the first person to walk towards the stage. "Otome-chan?" Hanako said to me in an interrogative tone. "Come on! We can't not listen to them… this is school, remember? We don't want to break any rules." I said. "Screw that." Troy and Moriko said in unison.

"But Otome is riiighht!"

"Ok. If you are going, I'll go too." Haruto said. He stepped forward with me. Masahito, Fuka, and Koharu followed. Pretty soon, the whole class came up to the stage, with me as their "leader".

"Alright! Let's begin!"

Upon the podium, a computer screen with an image of what seemed to be a black and white dog showed up. One of its eyes was covered by a red, glowing, scar. "Ahem. Welcome to the Ultimate Academy! I am your headmaster, MonoInu!" the screen said. "You're kidding… right?" Moriko asked the artificial intelligence. "Nope! You gotta deal with how I look! Now I know it might not be exactly like the original, but that's okay! I've got the same ambitions!" Monoinu said to us. "Why is something like that my headmaster? My HEADMASTER?!" Troy yelled with a loud tone. "You wanna die first? Oh well, might as well explain the rules!" it replied.

"You guys are going to be trapped in this school for the rest of your lives!"

"WHAA?" Fuka, Hanako, and Mari all exclaimed in unison. "As long as there's a computer and food, I'm good." Etsuji stated. "Yeah, don't worry! I've got you guys covered with food and entertainment and stuff. We even had dormitories customized to your tastes! We even have a little somethin' somethin' for your talent practices!" Monoinu said. "But.. what about seeing your family, or friends outside from here… contact to the outside world-" Masahito started, but was cut off with a, "Nope! You guys don't need that anymore! However… fufufu.. There is a way out of here…" I asked the question no one else would dare to ask.

"And what would that be?"

A moment of silence reigned upon us. We were all staring at the computer screen, anxiously waiting for Monoinu's response.

"You must kill a fellow student to graduate!"

Everyone's faces immediately shifted from confused to shocked. "The fuck did I just hear? We have to kill someone here?" Moriko yelled in anger. Fuka crossed her arms, "No way, monodogo! I. Will. Not." "I think all of us are just too stupid to kill anyone anyway." Hideki said, "Of course, I'm not talking about myself." "So you're saying you're gonna kill one of us? Is that it? No way am I gonna let that happen! I'll kill you!" Troy yelled. "Hold it, hold it! Wait for a few hours before ya do someone in!" Monoinu said, "But now that these problems have arose, you just don't know who to trust anymore…" Everyone's heads turned towards Hideki and Troy, then to each other. "Have fun guys! I'll see you in a few hours to give you a, push towards your goals!" Monoinu said to us as the screen on which he was displayed turned off. The screen was brought back into the floorboards. No one said anything. "What… are we supposed to do?..." Haruto said to the group. Fuka started crying. "I thought being trapped here was bad… I don't wanna kill anyone…." "I don't either, Fuka-chan… what are we going to do?" Hanako said to the group. I… didn't want to kill anyone either. I didn't want this Artificial Intelligence two sided dog to watch us marvel in despair while it just stood there. "Guys. We have to find another way." I said to the group. "Yeah! Otome-chan is right! There has to be another way!" Masahito exclaimed. "I highly doubt it." Hideki said, "Considering we're still stuck in the gym." As soon as Hideki finished saying that statement, the door that was bolted shut before was opened. The outside seemed to look like a school hallway with an eerie atmosphere. "Well… it's now or never." Etsuji said. We all nodded and left the gym.
