Group 78 was in their classroom, chatting and mingling. It has been a week since the group was formed and so far it has been going smoothly, no one really disagreed to Makoto being king, but some still retained doubts not necessarily from their class.

"Ahh~" Makoto walked to his classroom tired, despite being used to his work Makoto still had trouble getting enough sleep. He managed to reach his classroom without collapsing from fatigue, though there were a couple of times he was walking his eyes half open.

"Morning." he greeted drowsily, "Morning boss." Leon greeted back, normally Makoto would've told him not to say that and get embarrassed, but today he was just too tired to even react.

The luckster walked to his desk and sat down, only to quickly smash his head on the table scaring the rest of them, "Woah!" all of them got concerned, he was out of it.

"Makoto?" Sayaka went next to the boy and poked him, he didn't move. "Oowada can you please carry him to the infirmary?" Mondo nodded, he tried to lift the boy but his voice stopped him. "Don't, I'll be fine just let me be for now." everyone looked at the boy, but before long he fell asleep.

The luckster slept for at least 10 mins before being woken up again, "Huh?" he lifted his head and saw a cup of tea and a donut.

"What are these?" Makoto sat up and saw that his classmates were around him, "Its royal milk tea Naegi-dono." Yamada pushed the cup closer, "Its very nice my king." Celest affirmed.

"And I gave you a donut so make sure to eat up." Asahina told the luckster, Naegi knew he couldn't refuse so went ahead and drank the tea and ate the donut.

"The tea sure is nice." he said taking a sip, "Yamada-san can I have another one please?" Yamada nodded and made another cup for the king.

During lunch Makoto went to the garden, to get some shut eye "I see even you have some rough nights." he was awoken by the voice of a woman, he rolled his head backwards and saw Kirigiri standing over him, "Hello Kirigiri-san." the girl sat next to him, she then took her food from a brown bag, a sandwich and an apple.

"Its best that you avoid hard working jobs, if you want some energy." she advised the luckster, "I have to go for high paying jobs right now, since I'm increasing our earnings." he told her rolling to his side, Makoto shut his eyes again, before snapping them open realising something about Kirigiri.

"I've been meaning to ask..." the girl stopped eating and directed her attention to Makoto, "Why haven't you told on us yet?" Kirigiri wasn't surprised that he would ask, in fact she has been expecting it, after all she was the Ultimate Detective.

At first she couldn't really find the words to explain, because after getting to know the boy she found him not that bad of a person.

"I have no reason to actually say anything, yet." Makoto knew this was a lie, she knows every reason to tell, but he decided not pry anymore, "I see."

After lunch, both ultimates went back to their classroom, they noticed that everyone was staring at them, "Is there a problem everyone?" the boy asked, he then felt some bloodlust emanating from Maizono who sat at the corner, there also Mukuro who tried to keep herself composed as possible.

"Where have you two been?" Mondo asked, "At the garden Naegi was sleeping there, while I ate lunch." though some didn't seem to buy it, most knew that Kirigiri wasn't the type to lie.

"Ok everyone take your seats." Monokuma entered the room to start class.

After school a normal high schooler would either go home and play games or go out with friends, but for Makoto he had to go and visit Izayoi's forge to check something.

...

He arrived at the forge and noticed that Izayoi was working, "Izayoi-senpai." he called out, the blacksmith stopped his work and walked up to Makoto then bowed, "My king, welcome." Makoto felt slightly embarrassed he still wasn't used to being the King.

"So why did you call me here?" Izayoi then stood back up and went to go get something before returning with what seemed to be a sword.

He unsheathed the weapon and revealed a jet black katana that had no guard, the blade was at normal length just enough for the luckster to swing without problems. The style of the weapon took on a futuristic look which made it absolutely amazing.

"Though I am aware that you don't use swords, but please accept it." Naegi took the blade and stared at it with awe, "This is amazing, thank you." he left the forge with the sword wrapped in cloth and headed back to Hopes Peak.

Makoto headed back to his room to drop off the blade, he had a sword stand where a golden wooden sword was placed, he just replaced that one with his new sword. Makoto looked at his watch, it seemed that he still had some time left before his next activity so he decided to get some shut eye.

...

Makoto walked down to the gymnasium to check on group 78, every once a week group 78 has training, and Makoto had asked four people to conduct the training: Hajime, Mukuro, Sakura and Nekomaru. The training sessions would last 2 hours which are split into 1 hour each side.

Sakura and Nekomaru would take on the first hour which was physical training, so that's: fitness, strength and hand to hand combat, and because Makoto doesn't want to see the gruelling training his friends have to go to during that time he decided to drop by the second half.

The second hour consisted of assassin training, Hajime would take on the basics of assassination - free running and normal assassination - while Mukuro taught weapons based combat.

Makoto heard the group's training as his brother taught the class, when he entered the gym he noticed that everyone was doing some free running, "Makoto!" he heard his brother call out, he walked up to Hajime and watched the group train with him.

"How are they doing?" he asked as he watched Hagakure try to jump over a stack of benches only to get stuck, "They are all right." the older boy responded, "Try not to push them to hard though." Makoto told his brother with sympathy for his classmates.

After Hajime had finished his side it was Mukuro's turn, Mukuro had taught them how to fight using knives, after a quick demonstration she let the group try it for themselves. Makoto sat at the benches surprised that she actually taught them quite well.

"You sure are a great teacher." Mukuro was surprised that the luckster was still there, she blushed slightly at the compliment. "Thank you." she whispered, Maizono who saw the girl blush became slightly jealous.

Makoto checked his watch and saw that he had to get ready since he had a solo mission that night, "Well I'll leave you to it, I have work." he left the gymnasium and headed for his room to get ready.

...

That night the Phantom had a solo mission, it was to assassinate a CEO of a cab company who has been using his taxis to dump bodies of the people he has murdered, the reasoning behind them however is unknown.

He managed to find the man, but he quickly escaped by taking a taxi too bad that the Phantom is a lot harder to shake off. As his taxi sped and drove past other vehicles, the Phantom managed to keep up with him by running atop of buildings. "You ain't getting away from me."

When the taxi quickly took a sharp turn and somehow managed to crash his car near the docks the Phantom took the opportunity to quickly end the chase. The man who still struggled tried to hobble away, but that proved to be harder since he managed to damage one of his legs.

"Give up and I'll make your death as painless as possible." the man ignored him and continued to hobble off. The Phantom sighed and pulled his gun out and shot the man in the leg, "Ahh!" the man screamed, the Phantom quickly walked next to him and placed his foot on his back.

"Why'd you go killing people?" the Phantom asked the man, "Why?" he said back, "Well you see, when you are born with everything, and you know everything you get bored." he gave a small chuckle, however this didn't amuse the Phantom.

Again the Phantom took his gun, this time aiming for the man's head, "Shoot me then, maybe you can relieve my boredom." the Phantom didn't hesitate he pulled the trigger, ending the man's life.

Makoto returned to Hopes Peak and headed to his room there he began to think about what the man said.

"When you are born with everything and you know everything you get bored."

He knew someone like that, someone who knew everything, someone who had everything, and who got bored so they turned into a mad person, but he wasn't too sure yet so he didn't make any assumptions, but he had become curious.

"Hmm, I hope nothing bad does happen."
