Chapter 1

AN: If you want to skip what's largely just exposition, feel free to. Probably not the first three paragraphs and the last though.

My name is Chihiro Fujisaki. I am a menace. I love every minute of it.

Ultimately, my goal in life is and always has been to fuck with people. The one I obviously so most and that most people know me for and haven't figured out that is my cross dressing. I'm surprised no one has noticed the lack of chest and occasional bulge within the groin region, but I'm not surprised considering the intelligence level in this god forsaken high school. I discovered that acting like a timid female made people more attached to me, as opposed to acting like I actually did, a way some would describe as confident and cynical. The character most people see and the person I truly am are like yin and yang, complete opposites in every way but complement each other so well. I began to enjoy it and ultimately realized that I am a master at this kind of art. I am a master of the sockpuppet.

I strive for control in my life. You'd never guess it if you knew me as the shy programmer most know. This personality I have created that shares my own given name is completely weak, although a very nice and pleasant person to be around. I am powerful and although I try to act as nice as I can, a good chunk of the time I will get angry or just not give a shit. The Chihiro the public image knows is tolerant, I lose my patience quickly. There have been many times with Maizono or Yamada or Hagakure that I've nearly snapped and given the three years of character building up, but I have a heavy driving force. I can't give it up in vain.

Three years ago I created the character. A favorite activity of mine was scamming people out of money using sites I have programmed. I was fourteen at the time, and it was some of my earliest programming work, I am still proud of it. Afterwards it turned into full on schemes to scam people, with elaborate plots to completely ruin people. It was the most fun I had had online at the time. I can't describe the rush of emotion the trickery of others gives me. It's a mixture of lust, humor, and arousal all combined into one. I have gotten off to messing with those I know. I began to think to myself how I could benefit myself by doing this in real life. Even if I didn't come up with these plans, I'd still be starting a new life for myself. My family was moving to a different area of Japan and I knew that people in my old life would be able to spot the bullshit from a mile away. So once we moved, I bought a pair of women's clothing and started anew. The experiment has worked nicely.

Only about a year afterwards I was accepted into Hope's Peak. When I learned I was actually a bit scared that they had learned about the catfishing. You don't apply for Hope's Peak, they just send you a letter by chance. This also worked really well for scamming people but that's not the point here. But yeah, I was accepted for my programming skills and not several other things I could have been accepted for. But I guess programming worked, for it is how I got started. I feel as if I wouldn't have been accepted if they knew I was a sadistic scam artist, hell, I feel as if they wouldn't have accepted me knowing I was actually a guy. I'm definitely a fantastic programmer but I doubt I'm the best, is Hope's Peak just trying to prove to the world that girls can program too? Is this some kind of bullshit agenda? But I obviously accepted and met the human filth that was at the school.

If there's one thing me and the other Chihiro share, it's that we are consistently underestimated. However, the type of underestimation is completely different. For 'her', it's because of her weakness, her shyness, her complete lack of social skills. For me, it's because you'd never expect some dude who crossdresses in public every day to be this damn good. Often times I even baffle myself. Another underestimation in my life is my height, or lack thereof. I really do stand at a measly four feet and ten inches. There is nothing I can do about this, even with the power of disguise. I've been picked on by others for being shorter than many elementary school children but it doesn't bother me. I know I am better than them. No one cares if it's a girl who is small, they often are small. They often are weak. People didn't agree with what I tried to speak before my catfish crusades even before then. I have views on several issues that could be considered taboo or unpopular. Those who are easier to anger could even consider them 'problematic'. Because of this I didn't push them on people too much. Even if I did, the small and cute factor may get them to agree with me here. That's not an easy task, I know from experience. I feel like Napoleon but I can definitely be more powerful than he ever was. This tactic is the greatest thing I've came up with, and I've programmed many highly sophisticated AI. I can't believe it's worked for three years and I couldn't be more proud. The few people who know the true me think this just inflates my ego, but what reason do I have to not be arrogant? I am the greatest catfisher in history, and if I'm not then I must be proven wrong.

But much of this isn't the point. The point is that I want to dominate the disgraceful halls of Hope's Peak. The talent here is high but the intelligence is relatively low. You could likely find more intelligence in a community college. Most of these people shouldn't have their talents be considered talents. Hey, look! This guy can look into the future, totally for real! And look over here, this guy writes really nice really erotic fanfictions! How about this guy, a fucking hall monitor! What is this bullshit? I have actual talent and none of these fuckers do. Often times the people with talent are dumb and annoying. I don't want to hear Kuwata talk about why he doesn't like baseball, despite it being the only thing that makes him special. I don't want to hear Maizono scrape my eardrums with her voice, whether it be singing or speaking. Why many of these people are allowed in public hasn't been explained.

My lifelong goal of asserting complete and utter dominance over everyone has gone on for as long as I remember. Convincing everyone that I am an innocent and weak girl, the complete opposite of what I am, proves that I can essentially do anything. I will get into the minds of anyone and everyone. My crusade of mindfuckery and dominance amongst Hope's Peak academy begins now. I could not be more excited.
