(The Day Before The Future Plays...)
"Good morning everyone! And welcome to a new year at Hope's Peak Academy. I hope that all your knowledge and courage is used to acknowledge those who are superior to your needs and expectations as this is essential for your success to graduate here. I'd like to specially welcome the new class of 78 to participate in this school with open arms and hope that they will truly find their dreams that they'd would love to accomplish. This goes for all students as well. As scheduled, each class will begin in 15 minutes; best not to leave the teachers scolding you. Have a great day!" replies Jin then letting go of his finger from the little microphone in front of his burgundy wooden desk.
Jin was sitting in his high class office cozy chair as he leaned back crossing his arms as he was deep in thought for a moment.
'The project is almost complete, I wonder if it will succeed' thought Jin slightly worried as he then sighs.
"Guess I'll just have to hope it does" replies Jin out loud to himself.
*Knock Knock*
"It's open" replies Jin now crossing his fingers together and leaning forward as he was eager to find out who was hiding behind that door. As the door opens inwardly, he was not sure if it was either the steering committee or Koichi Kizakura. To his surprise it was neither, it was his daughter Kyoko Kirigiri.
"Ah Kyoko" replies Jin still eyeing her not leaving his position.
"...Excuse me, I just came here to drop this off" replies Kyoko.
Kyoko walks to the desk in front of her and drops the papers in front of him. He examines the first one seeing it was for a leave of absence form written out and the other one showing her true Hope's Peak Academy bio profile. Jin had no problem with the first one as he knew she was going to visit his father Fuhito Kirigiri later in the day but the second one he was reluctant to accept.
"Right, I understand you want everyone to know your talent but you know that our family prefers to bestow this talent as a secret" replies Jin slightly disappointed.
"I know that very well, however I decided to have my talent known for the staff and the entire academy" replies Kyoko trying to cut him short.
"Do you believe that is wise? You might have a lot of attention that you may not want to deal with" replies Jin as he leans back in his chair.
"I'll deal with that when the time comes" replies Kyoko closing her eyes while having her arms crossed.
"Try as you must, but don't come back telling me that I told you so" replies Jin giving a smirk. Kyoko turns away making for the door as he says this and she opens the door before leaving out muttering something.
"...I won't" replies Kyoko. She then shuts door behind her and the room becomes silent again.
Jin looks at the door still surprisingly phased by the thought of his daughter's mentally age behavior. He recalls the memories years back while he looks at the photo beside him of him holding Kyoko in the air while she was smiling happily.
'You really changed...' thought Jin.
Still having his fingers crossed firmly; he lightly sighs by the misconception he and his daughter have towards each other.
(The Day Before The Future Ends...)
(Homeroom A-1 Classroom of 78)
9:15Am.
(Beautiful Morning Plays...)
The morning begins to settle brightly in with a half-vibrant class of 78 as they all get assigned in their seats. Naegi sat beside Celestia Lundenburg from his left and had Sayaka to his right. They were listening and paying full attention to their teacher. Although Oowada who was sitting in the back asleep with his head on the desk was lightly snoring. Leon was beside him to his right as he was half asleep rolling his eyes in boredom by the introduction to the class and slightly irritated by Oowada's irregular snore rhythms. While on the other hand Ishimaru was all ears attentively listening to every word the teacher had to say.
"So you must all know by now that you'll have different activities within every two hours starting from 9am to 6pm everyday, except on Sundays..."
Ishimaru raises his hand up to ask a question. The teacher points his teaching stick towards his way.
"Yes Ishimaru?"
"Will there be any class presentations?" Asks Ishimaru curiously. Some of the students look back at him and then back at the teacher for his reply.
"Ahead of the game now are we. Yes there will be class presentations, it will be every 3 months. You'll have to do a project on the specific subjects that I'll be specifically giving you-"
"Ah man seriously? This blows.." Says an irritated Leon to no one in particular with his arms crossed. Ishimaru looks at Leon with his thick eyebrows angrily.
"Quiet the teacher is still talking!" replies Ishimaru. Leon looks at Ishimaru as if he was an imbecile while Oowada grunts.
"You think I care about that, coming from the sound of you it seems like you haven't gotten laid yet" replies Leon having his hand resting on his cheek with his elbow resting on the desk.
"...Wah! W-what do you mean by that?!" asks Ishimaru baffled by his rebuke. Leon gives a weird smirk from his remark as suddenly Oowada then slightly opens his eye lids annyoed by the two being annoying towards him.
"Uhhhh, Will you two shut the fuck up? I'm trying to sleep here" replies Mondo
"Sleeping in class is zero tolerance here! You're in the moral compass's eyes now; don't make me come over there and tell you how to sit up diligently!" replies Ishimaru with a touch of seniority in his tone pointing his finger at him.
"What the fuck did you just say!?" raised Oowada's voice as he slammed his desk and got up from his seat. The teacher began to stop talking and the rest of the class turns their heads looking at the predicament of the two in the back before them.
"It's exactly as I said, do you defy the trust of our classmates and your own sense of dignity?!" accuses Ishimaru firing the question getting up from his seat now.
"What the fuck are trying to get at?! HUH?!" raises Mondo's voice slightly a bit louder than before leaning into his desk forward closer to Ishimaru. Leon who was looking at the two fighting at each other in the middle as he just crosses his hands behind his head and feels doubt about their relationship.
"You guys should chill out, everyone's looking at us" replies Leon casually.
"Stay out of this!" replies Oowada and Ishimaru in a unison as they both turn their heads and look down at Leon. Leon slightly turns red almost as he was going to burst but held back his anger. He didn't want to make a scene in the classroom like the other two were doing un-accordingly.
"If you want trust from someone you must go full out man to man, to bare naked and then will you fully trust someone!" exclaims Ishimaru.
The entire class intentionally gave a silent palm face in their minds as some gasped while others were uncomfortable with their new classmate's statement.
"..." Mondo Oowada grits his teeth looking away like he was weird.
"Ishimaru Kiyoataka! Don't you forget it! And the same goes to all of you!" cries Ishimaru with full of pride as he salutes to him and then to the class.
"Yeah, we fucking get it..." replies Mondo sitting back down.
Ishimaru still standing froze for a second as if slightly hurt; but brushed it off sitting back down in his chair.
"...So does anyone still have questions for the class presentations?" asks the teacher a moment after silence.
Chihiro shyly puts his hand up half way "I-I have a question"
Everyone now looks at his way, the two people sitting beside him were Hifumi to his left and Yasuhiro to his right. Chihiro at this time was believed to be a girl, although in reality no one knew yet that he was the opposite gender.
"Will we have to bring in something to present our project? Or could we just explain it?" Asks Chihiro slightly blushing nervously.
"That's a good question Fujisaki, yes you can do it either way you like that makes you feel more comfortable, but keep in mind if you all present something you'll get extra marks on your status report cards that you carry with you now" he looks around the class quite calm.
Everyone gasps, "For reals?! This will seriously bring my mark up!" Says Hagakure in excitement.
"This looks like a job for the Ultimate Fanfic Cultivated Creator!" Says Hifumi to the class. He then puts his arms across his chest and triumphantly smiles with arrogant pride.
"It's obvious that presenting something is the best option, just explaining it is a waste of time; I the Heir of the Togami Family will pass all of you" replies Togami with a cocky smirk.
"Uhhh, we got to do a presentation, not really sure what to talk about in it...maybe donuts" replies Aoi feeling doubtful.
The rest of the class then quietly talks among one another, although only one person was remaining silent.
Junko looks at the chalk board and stares at it like she was spacing out from the world all around her. She felt like this world was just useless and completely boring...the people's hope, the order of laws; she felt like this place was a prison ground.
These people just don't understand what hope is... they think its all the daisies and butterflies lifting them high above the world... but in reality were running through a rat race maze...trying to figure out our lives and bla bla bla...
Junko then looks around at the other students for a moment and then stares looking outside the window right beside her on the left.
'This world will soon have despair...they don't understand...not yet at least...'
Junko then begins to curl an ugly evil smirk knowing her idea before she arrived in this Academy with her twin sister Mukuro.
'This school will become its despair and soon before anyone knows it; I'll have the whole world feeling despair! They'll all bow before me and realize that they don't need this world anymore...they need a change is what they really want! I can do that...for all of them'
She looks around at everyone in her classroom again with a confident triumph gleaming in her eyes.
'Every single one of them!' thought Junko loudly inside her mind.
"Yo sis this class presentation stuff is boring don't you think?" Asks Mukuro.
Junko snaps back to reality and smiles at her sister giving off a really happy attitude.
"Yes oh yes! They need to have some cool romance games or something to do with fun activities!"
Mukuro Ikusaba looks at her in a surprise and a confused expression at the same time.
"Huh? Really? I'm sure everyone would agree with that" said Mukuro sarcastically.
"Well everyone needs a little thing in their life... don't you think?!" Asks Junko turning to face directly at her. She was looking at her face intensively to see her expression.
Mukuro slightly blushes.
"Umm yeah I guess you're right" replies Murkuro slowly.
"Oh but I know I'm right! Jeez, do always feel like your run down like in a rat's hole" Says Junko disappointed in her twin sister.
"Ah no, I was just thinking that we all have different values on the subject" replies Mukuro quietly.
Junko could read clearly through her twin sisters thoughts and she knew she was feeling how she felt; it was nothing other then... despair.
"Oh? Why don't you go out with that young boy with the brown hair over there; he seems like your type" replies Junko looking at Naegi while leaning into Mukuro mischievously.
Mukuro leans away while her sister was looking at her with a flirty smirk. Mukuro then turns her head towards to look at the boy known as Makoto Naegi that was listening to the teacher and she slightly begins to blush.
Kyoko Kirigiri sat beside Mukuro to her right while Junko to her left, behind her from the middle of the classroom were Chihiro, Hifumi and Hakakure; from behind them sat Byakuya Togami all by himself.
Kyoko wasn't paying attention to the two twins as she was focused on her own thoughts.
'...I wonder what my grandfather wants to tell me' thought Kyoko.
From across Kyoko on the other side of the class sat Asahina, Ogami, and Fukawa at the front and then behind them were Naegi, Celestia, Sayaka and then behind them sat Ishimaru, Leon and Mondo.
(Outside Homeroom A-1 Classroom 78)
(Beautiful Mornings Plays...)
The Naegi from the future peaks through the class window having Oowada closest to the door. While looking around he needed to lift his feet above the ground to look around the area.
He could see everyone was with joy and laughing like it was just the beginning of a new school life. He frowns as he looks at every one of the students in class 78 while troubled with his thoughts.
'Why...Why did it...have to come to this?! There's no way, how could I have forgotten this? Its...Its just impossible!'
The teacher in the classroom continued his introduction speech about certain rules, regulations and it finally came to introductions and a reason about attending this school.
When it was his turn he listened in to what he had to say.
(Beautiful Mornings Ends...)
(All All Apologies Plays...)
"I'm Makoto Naegi, the reason why I attended this school was because I was just lucky to get in; or better known as the Ultimate Lucky Student" Said Naegi. Suddenly the entire classroom went dead quiet; for a few moments Naegi's heart skipped a beat. Same for the one outside peaking through the classroom.
"Really? Just by as simple as pure...luck?" Asks Celestia breaking the awkward silence.
He turn to look at her and smiles with confidence.
"Yeah" He then turns around to look at every student.
"Yeah I came here because I got lucky...but I'm thankful to be here and I can't wait to get to know all of you!" Said Naegi gleefully with hope.
Everyone then began to talk among themselves in quiet whispers as if they were shocked and a bit jealous of him. He could hear their loud whispers since the class was kind of small. They were saying things like:
' "How is that possible? Why an Ultimate Lucky Student? What's the point?" '.
The only ones that didn't talk behind his back were Kyoko, Celestia, and Sayaka. They were not really impressed on the other peoples actions but they remained silent. The teacher a few moments later broke the chit chat.
"Alright Alright that's enough! Will continue on to the next person" Said the teacher.
It continues on with the rest of the class. Naegi felt a pinch go through his stomach. He felt that he'd experienced this before; but ignored the thought and kept looking through the classroom. Eventually they reach to the one who's guilty; which was Junko. He paided very close attention to what she had to say to the class. She clears her throat and speaks like a rich queen from the middle east.
"The reason why I attended this school is because I'm the Ultimate Fashionist in this world! I come here to present you all with the need of changing and changing it for the greater good! That's all" replied Junko with pride. The class around them acknowledged it; escpecially Hifumi who was almost about to collapse.
Naegi pondered angrily in thought.
'She thinks changing is for the greater good?! How exactly from what she will cause make anything a greater good for society? Just what world was she brought up in?'
"I see and that you will Junko Enoshima. Now everyone its almost time for your first activity today; you best be off to get there early. You don't want to upset your gym teacher.." Said the teacher of class 78 with a bit annoyance on his last comment.
Everyone soon got out of their seats and starting making their way to the door.
(All All Apologies Ends...)
(Discussion HEAT UP Plays...)
"When you come back will finish with the rest of the introductions!" said the homeroom teacher.
'Oh crap there coming!'.
Naegi from the future quickly looked away from the window and started to dash away from the scene. He turns around the corner on the second floor stairway hearing from behind him that the door opened from the classroom. He ignores it and makes his way down the stairs; soon making his way around the corner leading to the gift shop. Soon leading to the front enterance of the east side of the school. Although before he made it to the doors, he was suddenly bumped into a tall figure.
He fell backwards and looked up seeing it was Jin Kirigiri looking down at him in confusion.
"Going somewhere Mr. Naegi?" Asked Jin lightly laughing. Naegi got up quickly; he couldn't talk for long because soon his class was going to make it down to this floor.
"Yeah I was just heading to my next class" Said Naegi trying not to lie. At of everything he disliked to lie about the truth; so he told little of the truth instead not one at all.
"Hmm well you better move along then" Said Jin. Naegi gave a nod and started to run again. As he was running toward the gift shop he could hear Jin call out something to him.
"Make sure to wear your school uniform tomorrow, everyone must wear one!"
'Shit! We have to wear uniforms at this school, this is going to make things way more complicated for me'.
Pushing hard at opening the school doors, he ran to the courtyard on the east side; and soon reached the track and field.
He stops phanting for air and then looks around.
'Wow! This track is huge! Its bigger then any regular high school track that I've seen. Its practically the size of the olympic tracks'.
Meanwhile...
Jin made his way into the gift shop before the class of 78 were able to encounter him and luckily he didn't notice another Naegi. He wanted to check on the machine's in the room since there was disturbance the other night. Eventually he didn't stay long and made his way back to the head office sighing realizing that he was wasting his time.
As Naegi gaze's in awe for a few moments he zones back into reality and looks for a hiding spot. He then finds some tall bleachers on the other side and makes his way there. Soon enough he goes below the steps and craws under just manging to fit and waits.
The gym was to his right far corner from where he could see. He stared at the gym anxtiously.
'I wonder when their going to come outside. Maybe within the hour? I'm sure right now that their getting an introduction from the teacher'
Naegi decides to lay against the wall closing his eyes and relaxing.
(Discussion HEAT UP Ends...)
Ten minutes pass and he opens his eyes again feeling a bit tired from running around everywhere. He knew that he wasn't really that active. He preferred to play video games, watch television, socialize with people and just relax, although he had a feeling he might not get to do a lot of those for awhile.
'I have to talk to Kyoko by today, If I don't then...NO! Don't fall into despair, if I wasn't able to talk to her today then I'll make sure to find a way the next day. It may be a bit more of challenge with everyone having to wear uniforms except me... but I can be sneaky. So i'll be able to pull it off'.
Then a sudden thought came to him.
'Wait where am I going to sleep when it reaches nightfall...Maybe I could sleep here? I'll probably have to if I don't get the chance to talk to her in private...'
Another 10 minutes pass and the teacher and the students from a very far distance make their way out of the back doors with their athletic uniforms on. They all make their way following their teacher lightly jogging down to the track and field. Hifumi was having a bit trouble pacing with everyone else but eventually got to the field a few minutes later.
Naegi hiding from the bleachers could see everyone standing in the middle of the field listening in to what their gym teacher had to say. The gym teacher was a female.
"Alright listen up! I want you all to do 10 laps around the field! Then I want you to come here and do me 200 push ups and 200 sit ups! You got 30 minutes! Go!" shouted the women.
Naegi had a feeling that she was even worse than Ishimaru at times. Although Ishimaru was giving a salute with eagerness.
"Yes M'am! Will do!" shouted Ishimaru.
Ishimaru and Asahina were the first ones to start running on the track. Then most of the rest began; except a few like Owada, Chihiro and Junko. They didn't really feel like running in the slightest but were eventually yelled at by their teacher and started to run.
Naegi recalls a flashback to when he saw that photo with the class running on the track.
'I wonder when that picture was taken... It probably wasn't till later in the year'.
He then looked over to see Ishimaru, Sakura, and Aoi all in lead running with anticipation like it was a game of life and death to the finish line. Behind them were Him, Kyoko, Sayaka and Toko. As for the rest of the other students they were on the other side of the track. He then looks back at Kyoko's way.
'If I do get a chance to talk to her what exactly would I say? That i'm from the future and came here in a time machine? That would be nonsense in this time, even to say she believed me wouldn't that cause this world to change drastically?'.
The lead of the students start racing pass Oowada, Junko and Chihiro. Ishimaru lightly pushes Oowada out of the way accidently.
"Whoops! Sorry Oowada!" Said Ishimaru still running.
"Hey what the hell are you pushing me for!? Do you wanna die?!" Shouted Oowada.
Aoi and Sakura make their way around the three and start to slightly pass Ishimaru.
"What!? You're not getting away that easily!" shouted Ishimaru.
Aoi turned around to look at the others.
"You think so? I'm not even trying" replied Asahina triumphley.
"You shouldn't underestimate Hina and I" replied Sakura not looking back.
"Yeah! These guys will lose to us" Said Aoi looking at Sakura with joy.
"I'll never lose to the likes of you!" replied Ishimaru griitting his teeth in anger.
"Oh we'd like to see you try" smirked Sakura.
Naegi gripping onto the metal rail supporting on the inside of the bleacher; he was gritting his teeth in fustration.
'Whatever it doesn't matter. The only way I'll be able to help save this school is the detective by my side. I know that's the only person that will believe me! For the sake of Hope Peak's Academy and everyone else's future. I'll do anything to get this school back into order! I have to and must! I can't ever give up hope as long as I live!'.
