Chapter 1

The Plan of Reunion

The sound of a man queasy could be inside the principle's room as the man himself look at the poor soul struggling with today's late night drinking as usual and sighing at the habit he hasn't discard as of yet. Still, the young blonde man came to the urgent meeting and discussion about the future of Class 76th but even so, the principle of Hope's Peak academy wasn't so at ease like him. The man wearing a fedora smile weakly when he took a good gaze at the anxious principle dealing with the multitude of problems inside this structure and straightened himself up before speaking with his boss.

"You look unquiet about something, is there something on your mind lately, Jin?" The man asks.

"You know what I am worried about Koichi, the lack of a homeroom teacher for Class 76th. Even so, you did bring Ms. Chisa from your latest scout search which eases my problem slightly." Jin explains.

Jin stop as the sound of him hurling made him sigh once again despite the compliment he gives to Koichi and clears his throat to move into the most important matter in hand.

"In any case, have you or haven't you brought another potential teacher with you today." Jin questions.

"Finding talent is easy for me, yes but finding a specific talent can be a bit difficult, even for me." Koichi sigh.

Koichi lowers his fedora to hide his painful expression of not finding that kind of talent in Japan or anywhere for that matter despite his long search with a couple of friends. The principle became trouble with the lack of staff at the moment as he began to think of an alternative to this situation and not only that, he has to think about her daughter's class as well should the time come. As Jin began to think of a solution, Koichi smile at the struggling Jin which made him wonder for such reaction and lift his head to face him. Koichi lifts his fedora with his thumb to reveal a confident smile beaming from his face and looking quite overconfident with his next words.

"But, I don't think those kids need a teacher at the moment, after all, that kid is working on that as we speak." Koichi smile.

"That kid?..." Jin mutters.

"You know, the Ultimate Friend." Koichi reply.

Jin remains silent at the mention of that particular student holding such talent which was bizarre for Koichi to even find such person holding that kind of talent. Nevertheless, it didn't explain why that kid is the answer to their current ordeal and his smile remain glue despite his doubtfulness from Jin's faces. His hand began to move under him as he pulls his cabinet to bring out Class 76th's folder and among the 16 students, he pick the Ultimate Friend's data. Indeed a rare gift to behold and a curse mentioned by the others in the head department but even so, it is a talent not letting slip around his grasp.

"What makes you say that this boy has the answer?" Jin asks, curiously.

Koichi chuckles, "Well, he proposed an idea to me not a while ago about reuniting Class 76th with his gift and taking care of his peers with the help of a certain something." Koichi elucidate.

"Idea? and help?" Jin wonders.

It is strange for a student wanting to gather the others as it wasn't mandatory for the other to remain in class as long as they sharpen their skill and pass the exam, they can do whatever they desire. He became puzzled at the guy's line of thinking as Jin glance at the boy's picture since his title holds true and noticing Koichi nodding to his questions.

"Yes, he was going to need information about each student's whereabouts so he can personally go fetch them on his own and try to persuade them of coming into class, crazy right?" Koichi smile.

"For a sane person, it would sound quite far-fetched but to me, it is something extraordinary and curious to see if he indeed had the skills to change their view." Jin spoke.

"R-Really? Man, you are weird sometimes, you know?" Koichi sigh.

"So, where is he right now? and have you told him about everyone's whereabouts?" Jin requests.

Koichi remains silent for a while thinking about Jin's question and pondering a bit knowing that he has done that to give him an extra push toward the right direction.

"I sure did, in my way anyways and as for current location, I would say he is in class as always..." Koichi laughs, nervously, "Alone." He finishes.

Meanwhile, a young boy steps forward toward Hope's Peak Academy entrance with a smile on his face and taking a deep breath to inhale the fresh air around him. A deep exhale escape his lips as if preparing for something big today since his plan was going to start and with the help of that man he meets, he will surely get the job done. A confident smile slowly imprints on his face knowing that Koichi has done his part of the deal which he hasn't seen it nor he had told me about the Intel just yet.

My name is #^$&, I have been a student of Hope's Peak Academy for some time now and every day I spend my time in my homeroom.

The boy began to walk inside the structure as other students with talent began to do their own thing of either honing their skills or going to class for their own reasons. The long walk up to his classroom wasn't all too bad considering the common result he always comes to see as he reach the door and slowly open it with a smile.

"Good morning everyone." The boy greets.

Silent, there was no one here today as always and he began to nervously laugh at the usual loneliness that he always witness but not from this point on. His eyes scan the area to notice something written on the board behind the teacher's desk and began to approach it to take a good look at it. As he arrives there, his eyes widen to see the name of all 15 students attending Class 76th and their current whereabouts. A smile appears on his face as Koichi has given him what he truly desires and lacking the other's information relating to their usual hangout but with this, he can finally make his plan into motion.

"Amazing, truly a sight to behold but where to start I wonder..." The boy ponders.

Despite the pondering, he is thrilled to make his move and honing his own skill with his peers while gathering here so they can have fun and experience a real class should be. His eyes wander from name to name as his index finger magically move toward the name of "Tatsu Fujimoto."

"I see, then I should start with her and know more about her." He mutters.

His eyes narrow to find her inside the school's inside pool which was odd to find her there and he has no knowledge about her talent which excited him so to know about it. He nods to himself as his today's target and slowly heads off to look for him and try to persuade her to join his cause of gathering everyone into class. His eyes look determined to gather everyone today and she was the first step toward his achievement.

"I hope you are ready Tatsu because...here I come for you." He announces.

And yes, the story takes place before the actual game truly begins because I want everyone to know the character well before killing them one by one, that's what true despair is all about. One chapter will be dedicated to that character and how our protagonist, with the help of others in the future, will deal with them in order to persuade them on their own unique way while learning about them. Have a nice day and apologize for the small chapter~
