8:28Am
Younger Naegi was walking down the halls by himself as he finished his breakfast early heading his way to the AV Control room. Lightly clutching on the CD player with a case that he had in his right hand, he brought it to his face and curiously looked at the label on the front that he received this morning from his mail box.
"To: Makoto Naegi,
Hello!
Love, Mom, Dad and Komaru (sister)".
He warmly smiles at the CD case when suddenly,
BOOOM
Huh? Was that a crash just now?
He heard a thunderous crash coming from up ahead in the distance and he stopped in his tracks by instinct. Not knowing where the ambient sound came from he panicked a moment later and dashed his way forward with an extreme worried expression on his face.
Where was that sound coming from? Wait, is it coming from the AV room?!
A moment later, he skid a quick motion from his sneakers coming to a halt as he was near the place and saw someone come out from the AV/Control room. The mysterious character noticed Naegi as the person shuts the door behind them and turned to stare at him with content. Reluctantly, Naegi recognized who the person was standing before him, it was a female from his class that was quite muscular and tall for her age. It was Sakura Oogami, she stared at him with distress and the look of unpleasant discomfort in her pupil eyes. Neagi gritted his teeth slightly frightened, raising his free hand slightly he pursued making his way a step closer to Oogami.
"H-Hey"
"Don't come any closer" she deeply pronounces.
Naegi decided to not make a move closer to her presence and doubtfully looks at her extremely worried from her actions.
"Is something wrong? What happened?" he exclaims.
Oogami crosses her arms and eases off the tension in the air while she smiles lightly closing her eyes and shows her attitude with a composed gesture.
"Its nothing"
"B-but-"
"There's nothing that should concern you in this matter. I'm perfectly fine" replies Oogami, opening her eyes and looking at him with content.
Naegi remains silent as he was lost with words to say to her.
I know somethings is troubling her, although maybe its something very personal but still why is she hiding something when she knows its bothering her?
"I shall be going now" replies Oogami, turning around and walking down the hallway making her exit.
She's gone. I know that there's something on her mind but I think its best to leave her alone now. Although now I feel like I want to go after her, plus I can tell she wants someone to talk to her but whatever caused her to get angry made it difficult for her to talk about it.
He turns his head to the side to stare at the AV room and thought about the noise he heard earlier.
If it has to do anything with her dilemma, then its got to do with something that happened in there!
He makes his way inside determined, seeing that no one else was in the room, although if there was then he would have expected to hear voices from where he was standing outside moments prior from entering the room. He shut the door behind him, turning around to investigate the area a little and found that this room was spacious.
He could see three columns with five rows that displayed a gap between each column, within the columns the objects displayed two large AV devices that connected with a DVD player and with small black audio speakers on each side of the two AV stations. Also it has blue ethical office chairs for two on each column row, then at the front of the room its got two huge black coloured surround sound speakers and a hundred inch projection screen. From the side of the room to his right showed a display title above the purple curtain: Computers.
In the middle of the room down in the third row, he could see one of the video monitors was still on, displaying a blank blue screen radiating beautifully before him.
I wonder... he reflected curiously.
Without hesitation he advanced to the area and moved his body around the first blue chair and soon reaching the second chair.
Huh?
Below the blue ethic chair, he saw a cracked CD case scattered in many thin pieces, and as for the latch of the CD case he could see that it displayed as broken. It wasn't surprising for the CD to become damaged too as he was looking at it from his angle. It was a little to the far right corner under the metallic table with it only being lightly cracked into six little fragments on the edge rim of the disk.
Placing his own CD and case near the speaker to his right, he reluctantly kneels down as he held the blue ethic chair with his one hand, ducking under the table grabbing the disk case with the CD beside it and brought himself back over. Still seeing disk fragments of the case on the floor, he grabbed all the pieces, pushed his weight back up with his one hand on the blue chair and placed the last bit of items on the table in front of the monitor screen. As he stood straight again, he examined the remaining pieces of the items on the table. To his surprise, he notices that the title on the case was missing, however he already assumed that in advance from Sakura not letting anyone see it.
It seems like she ripped it up and taken it with her...but I'm worried why she's upset.
He stared at the monitor screen as he zoned out.
What exactly was in her video that made her unhappy?
Lightly frowning, he sat himself down lightly descending in the blue ethical chair and took out the CD from his CD case to his right of the metallic table and placed it inside the CD insert drive of the DVD player. He waits patiently as the video was buffering to the main menu.
I wonder what my family's going to say? I miss them a lot of the time but I know deep down I can do just fine on my own.
The main menu soon pops up and it shows a still picture of his family all sitting on the beige soft couch in the family room. Having his sister sitting to the left waving, his father in the middle crossing his hand sitting up promptly and the figure of his mother's beautiful smile on the right crossing her arms in her lap.
He smiles as he looks at the nice picture of the main menu, he felt like this sensation of it will feel like a warm greeting and soon enough without hesitation he clicked the play button. The screen was making a loud noise with black and white static for a few seconds until he saw a person standing in front of the camera.
?: Is it recording?
Immediately after he heard the voice from behind the person in font of him, he knew right away that it was the soft fragile voice he always hears and that was his cheerful idealistic mother.
Dad: Yep its all good to go!
Replied Naegi's father with a confident optimistic attitude as he turned around and walked toward the two other figures that were sitting on the couch. As he turned and sat down the three all looked at the camera and smiled.
Komaru: Hey there Makoto!
Waves her sister with delight at the camera.
Dad: Hey! So how`s school there at Hope`s Peak Academy?
He asks in a joyful mood crossing his fingers and resting them now on his lap.
Mom: You must find it a lot of fun with meeting your new classmates there.
She smiled gently as she talked softly with certainty in her tone of voice. The sound wave of the machine that played throughout the speakers was blaring a bit of an audio static as he heard his family talk in the video. It was almost like the sound that you would hear in those science fiction movies when talking through a video intercom in a technological spatial area. Naegi gleefully looked at the screen with no doubt that this video was something that was giving a day for him to shine, to brighten up his future and to give him hope.
Komaru: I heard its a big school! What's it like inside? What's the capacity for students that go there?
She asked curiously while she excitedly moved a little fidgety on the couch. Naegi's mother looks over to Komaru's way with a smile and looked back at the screen.
Mom: Your sisters been telling us that she wants to go there as well.
Komaru looks at her mother with delight and then turned to the camera.
Komaru: Well of course I do! You`re so lucky that you got in.
She crossed her arms disappointed and lightly pouting staring at Naegi through the screen, he almost sensed that they were actually seeing him while watching this video; and by their expressions it made him think that they could tell his reaction.
Dad: Luck does comes by nature, isn`t that right son? But be careful of how you use your luck, it can always lead you to misfortune if you don't make the wise decisions.
His mother stays rested on the couch without turning away and still shines with delight but also a little determination of worries in her green olive eyes.
Mom: I'm sure you understand that making wise decisions can also lead you to a misfortune, but, you can always find fortune wherever you go in every step of path that you choose too.
His father smiles and leans a bit forward closer to the camera with hands still locked on his knuckles.
Dad: Yeah, she's right. Fortune and misfortune can lead you in the direction you want, but, to make a stronger goal of fortune and misfortune you must not take it lightly. Otherwise, you may confuse yourself into finding the success to your sense of working and living to the fullest. Now that you got that kept in mind, will all have to come visit you sometime during the holidays.
Then Komaru turns to look over at her dad shocked and disappointed.
Komaru: Huuh? Can't we go see him when there's a parents meeting?
His father thought about it for a moment seriously as he looked towards Naegi's mother who smiled at her husband lightly.
Mom: Why not? You can miss a day of work. Just be sure to tell them that this is an urgent emergency.
He then looked at Komaru as her eyes glistened with determination and then he smiled lightly chuckling.
Dad: Okay! I'll work on creating an arrangement as soon as I return tomorrow.
Komaru: Yeah!
She swung her arms in the air happily doing a funny swift pose and soon dropped back down sitting on the couch with her arms across her chest smiling widely.
The experience and memories that Naegi remembers growing up with his sister were like a theme between their amusement and their certainty as they worked together to keep each other efficiently happy. Here and there his sister could be a bit more aggressive than him but it didn't bother him in the slightest. In honesty, he enjoyed having his younger sister boss him around sometimes because he could somewhat relate to her when she had a difficult time with situations and all in all he doesn't favour to boss people from his style of personality personally.
In actuality, he could tell that his sister was feeling uptight about the school he was in but he knew that she would pull through when she got to know the directions of her surroundings here.
Dad: Makoto, make sure that you send us a letter as soon as possible!
His father replied lecturing him kindly with concern in his tone.
Mom: We hope to see you soon!
Komaru/Mom/Dad: Bye bye!
His family waves goodbye with their one hands and smile happily.
Komaru: Oh! I should go turn off the camera!
Komaru awkwardly gets up quickly taking a couple quick strides across the family room to the video camera and grabs it. She turns the camera around in the opposite direction of the room and he could briefly see his family's kitchen. Then as a few moments passed and oddly the camera was still rolling on the screen.
Komaru: Ahh! Jeez! How do I turn this thing o-
The AC/Monitor shut off and went to a pitch dark blue screen again as Naegi could see his own reflection in front of him. He lightly sighs smiling and remarks from what he just watched quietly to himself.
(Beautiful Days (Super Danganronpa 2) Music Plays...)
"Komaru you never change" he lightly chuckles in delight. As he stops laughing he thinks in a train of thought for moment with a serious and curious expression on his face.
'I wonder when the parents meeting is going to take place? The steering committee hasn't voiced an announcement about it yet, so maybe it will be sometime soon. Hopefully it will happen, no wait I'm positive it will happen! Why wouldn't it anyway?! Well, I should probably start making my way out of here' thought Naegi.
He grabs his CD bringing all the broken pieces of Sakura's CD and the case with him. The door opens as Naegi almost made his way out of the room when he saw a blank expressionless person stare at him.
'Huh?! Wait is that K-kyoko!'
"K-Kyoko!" exclaimed Naegi.
She looked at him suspiciously as she remained silent.
"H-hey did you get a video too!?"
"...no." she replied.
Ah I guess everyone didn't receive one yet but, I'm sure she'll get one soon!
"So what brings you here?" he asked cheerfully.
She crosses her arms and makes her way a bit closer into the room forcing Naegi to step aside.
"To explore this room" she replied looking around from left to right of the room curiously.
So she's here to investigate her surroundings. That's very good, that way she can remember details about the room later in the future since she's the Ultimate Detective.
"I assume you were here to watch your video" she asked.
"Yeah"
She walked further into the room and turned around to face Naegi.
"Mind if I ask what was on your video?"
"W-well it was just a personal greeting from my family" he honestly replied.
"...I see" she replied lightly uncrossing her arms. She looked to her right about where Naegi was sitting before and she turned to look back. She stared at him with uncertainty in her eyes, and then she made her way slowly walking closer to him in silence. Naegi felt slightly nervous and uncomfortable as the heat of the moment intensified. As she was about 5 feet away from him she stopped and looked down suspiciously at what he was grasping resting on his side.
"What's that you're holding?"
"Oh this! It belongs to Sakura" he raises it up for her to look at it.
"Sakura? Why do you have it?" she asks looking at the evidence and then turning her gaze suspiciously at him again.
"W-well" he replied stalling for a second. Kyoko crossed her arms now a bit impatient and more suspicious.
"Because Sakura seems to have been upset from what she saw on this video" he replied lightly frowning.
"Oh, so then your returning it to her, correct?" she asked shifting her stance and lightly raising her eyebrow.
"Of course!" he exclaimed.
"I see, if that's the case then I'll be going" she replied turning her back from him as she walked past him.
"W-wait a second!" he cried. She didn't turn around but she was listening.
"Why don't you join me to find Sakura? I find that she's feeling troubled and I feel like she needs to talk with one of us"
"...I'm sorry. You'll have to go on your own. I need somewhere to be...goodbye" she replied making her exit. Then like that she disappeared from the face of the earth again from interacting with him.
'I suppose she's busy. Although I feel like she needs to have company, but invading people's decisions won't help them and especially me. Well I can't think about it now, I need to go see Sakura before I can't find her!'
Naegi quickly places Sakura's CD and case in his brown formal pants, he then placed all the fragments in the garbage outside of the room and then makes a run heading his way to the dormitory. When he gets there he finds Aoi Asahina, Sakura's best friend walking out of the dinning hall by herself with a donut in her hand as she bites down on it.
"Hey! Asahina" he replied as he made his way over casually.
"Mhmd heuyf maktoio!" she smiled but quickly gulped down the food as she was too embarrassed from her entrance.
"Have you seen Sakura by any chance?" he asked.
"Umm...Nope she left the dinning hall this morning. I'm also pretty sure you left a little after her too" she replied cheerfully.
"Oh, would you know where she might be at the moment?" he asked.
"Well...I'd have to say she either went her dorm or probably the dojo in this school but sometimes she might be in the gym with practicing her cool moves! This week I'm trying to learn how to do the roundhouse kick with her! You should come practice with us sometime, you might learn a thing or two of how to defend yourself!" she exclaimed.
"That sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely think about it"
"Really?! Awesome! Well come by today if you can, we'll probably be in the dojo" she smiled happily.
"Okay thanks a bunch!" he replied as he made off with a run waving back to her.
"No problem! I'll see you later!" she replied waving back.
(Beautiful Days (Super Danganronpa 2) Music Ends...)
(Class Trial Future Part Music Plays...)
Without second thoughts he went searching for Sakura without looking back from the people around him. He dashed first to the closest spot that Asahina told him and that was the Gymnasium. He looked inside to only find that there was a traditional thing going on, he could see a tallish girl in the middle of the room with blonde hair tied with a curve of twin tails, wearing an orange traditional furisode kimono with a white floral print pattern, and a green obi sash.
He stopped for a moment standing to watch her as there was traditional music playing in the background, she skidded lightly back and forth in quick pattern as she walked across the blue mat, doing a twist with her fan he could see that the sash she was wearing was tied around her waist and secured with a bow at the back. He made a quick glance around the other people in the room, he saw all of them sitting on a bleacher at the left side of the room with many faces he didn't know, there was at least 16 people who were in the room altogether and he saw that their gym teacher was one of them watching the girls performance.
"Whoohoo! Keep going Hiyoko you're rocking the stage!" replied an enthusiastic rock star theme girl. She appeared to have many piercings, accessories and distinctive clothing that seemed different from most people. A few others began to shout as the performer started to finish off with her doing a multi spin, soon she raised her fan and jumped doing backflip. The music ended with the crowd cheering with delight and they all began to get out of their seats to go congratulate her.
He wanted to go congratulate her too but he realized that he might not be able to find Sakura in time if he didn't hurry. He began to ran off again from deciding to search the dojo. When he got to the main doors, he could hear a voice just on the other side, it seemed like only one person was talking in the room but he was hesitating to go in because of by the tone of voice that muffled through the door.
Naegi panicked with eyes wide, clenching his fist and staring at the door anxiously.
Should I go in? Would it be right to bother them? ...thought Naegi.
"...GO!"
I got to do this...I'm going IN! he thought without second thought and he opened the doors drastically and time came to a stand still.
(Class Trial Future Part Music Ends...)
(Living to the Fullest Music Begins...)
He saw Sakura with a wooden sword in her hand, with a long black skirt and a plain white t-shirt noticing that she had her hair tied into a ponytail instead of it all hanging loose past her shoulders. Naegi gasped at the sudden difference at how Sakura looked but that was not the only person in the room. A man with an armored samurai outfit was holding a real life katana and he was not holding back as they clashed at each other.
He couldn't believe from what he was seeing, it was almost like the world around him froze as he only focused on the moves that the two were doing as they deuced in battle, Sakura began with using a straight down slash as the man backed away doing a backflip but at the same time doing a back kick aiming for the right side of her face but just missed her cheek bone. Sakura then ducked doing a straight stab motion forward as the man predicted her intentions and slide his body back with making a bridge body motion but using his one arm free as he clashed the katana with the wood sword; holding for dear life.
Before he knew it, the man in a blink of an eye was on his feet and they both had their swords together clashed in a stand still staring down eye to eye like the game was just getting started.
"You're still holding back, if you want to become the strongest person in the world you have to prove that you can defeat me without second thought" he replied.
"I'm not holding back, I'm just getting warmed up!" she replied furiously.
(Living to the Fullest Music Ends...)
"Uh sorry to disturb you" replied Naegi subconsciously as he didn't realize that he spoke.
"Huh? Makoto? What are you doing here?" asked Sakura as she still had her sword clashed with the other man.
"You know this boy?" he asked curious and sternly.
"Yeah he's from my class district" she replied.
"...I see..." he eyed his way to look at the young short man with green crystal eyes; soon turning back to Sakura.
"You have five minutes" he replied as he then released his sword from their clash. The man walked to the other side of the room and sat down meditating as Sakura placed the sturdy wooden sword into the sheath at the side of her hip.
"What is it that you wanted to speak to me about? Asked Sakura calmly crossing her arms.
"Well I wanted to return this to you" he replied taking out the broken CD case that he kept neatly in his brown formal pants. He handed it over to her and she looked at the object dumbstruck.
"Huh?! You brought all the pieces from what I broke and now you want to give it to me? I can't believe you went through all that trouble, it makes me feel terrible" she replied shocked looking at him and then closing her eyes sighing lightly.
"Don't be, I-I mean we all have times where we struggle and we feel uneasy about stuff but I just want you to know that we're all here to help each other feel at ease with whatever may bother us. Even if it's for the worse and the best times, we need to keep hoping and believing in each other and sticking to it till the end" replied Naegi pleasantly.
"...You're right Makoto. I think what you are stating is whether we choose to keep it to ourselves and or tell others; we need to believe in trusting one another no matter the circumstances. Right?" she asked.
"Of course! After all this school is like a second family and its here when we need support. Even if it takes us time getting use to understanding and feeling comfortable, we just have to step up and give the challenge a chance!" he replied logistically.
"...I understand, but right now I don't feel like opening up to anyone about my situation. However, soon enough when I'm ready to see the beholder that stands in my ground I'll take that challenge. Thank-You" she replied kindly.
"Yeah no problem!" he replied.
It's good that she now knows she can believe in others, I just hope that she'll be okay, but I have to know that in time she'll be able to tell us when she's ready, so lets just have some faith in her so that she doesn't give up!, thought Naegi.
"Before you go, I'd like you to meet my mentor over there" she replied and she began to walk her way towards him gesturing Naegi to follow her.
As they arrive the mentor stands up from his mediating state and stares at Naegi intensively and suspiciously for a few moments.
"My name is Kanata Kenitargi, I'm the Ultimate Martial Arts Trainer, it's a pleasure to meet you" replied Kanata humbly.
"Whooa! It's an honor to meet you too... I'm Makoto Naegi, the Utimate Lucky Student" said Naegi bowing lightly.
"A wise decision to become a lucky student, but having bad luck is in your books as well to becoming the person you wisely choose in life too. I'd like you to remember these words Makoto and use them to your advantage" he replied seriously.
"I promise I will" replied Naegi.
"Good, if we meet again I'd like you to tell me what've you learned on your journey to the path you have chosen. For now I bid you farewell" he replied making his exit and began preparing the next session for Sakura. Without another second of their time being spent he said his goodbyes and left the dojo heading back to his dorm.
Monday, September 13th 2010.
8:57am
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
Younger Naegi was groaning as he rolled around in his bed looking from the right of his alarm clock and he saw that it was 8:57 am. Immediately his eyes opened in horror and turned off the alarm clock.
(Tropical Despair Music Begins...)
"What!? How is that possible? I slept in!" he exclaimed.
Soon realizing his indulgent act he got out of bed with his clothes on and panicked grabbing his note book near his dresser across the room from his bed and made his way out the door into the hallway.
How was my alarm off from the time I originally set it for 7:57am, thought Naegi puzzled.
As he was running for dear life he dashed through the hallways, soon bolting his way up the stairs and before he even realized it he was heaving of exhaustion in front of the classroom door.
I must be tired and didn't realize last night that I altered the clock, if that's so than I'll know not to do it again!, he thought coming to his conclusion.
(Tropical Despair Music Ends...)
He walked in with everyone else present in the room and the teacher looked at him standing near the chalkboard.
"Mr. Naegi, your lucky that you just made it to class on time. Another second and I would have had to put you as absent" replied the teacher courteously.
"I'm sorry it won't happen again" said Naegi innocently.
"I better hope so, this isn't like an original high school; this is an academy. You must learn to treat it like the academy!" lectured his teacher.
"Okay! I'll do my best!" he replied.
As he made his way over to his seat he heard Byakuya say something quietly under his breath as he crossed his arms and miserably looked in front of the class.
"Typical for a rat lost in the maze"
He ignored his comment and continued to continue forward. As he got close to his seat he saw Junko and Mukuro were looking at him, Kyoko with her arms crossed stared at the front of the room, Junko's fist was resting on her chin bored and Mukuro had her arms loose on her sides as she seem curious and suspicious of him.
"I wager that he's hiding something" replied Junko whispering in Mukuro's left ear.
He sat down looking ahead of the class as the teacher began to speak about the lesson on the qualities of how your transferable skill relates to your values and ways to deal with what they can achieve in fulfilling your long life goals.
He smiled as he listened to the class and a few hours passed by. The teacher looked at his clock, ending the class with a small lecture of reminding everyone to bring their books for a different class that they were attending to next and that was to visit the physic's lab.
As everyone was leaving he looked to see Sakura was listening to Asahina talk her head off talking about what they were planning to do after today classes finished. From the look he could see she was smiling kindly but deep down he could still sense that she was in distraught. He planned to walk his way up to them and talk but discarded the thought because he believed that it wasn't the proper time to do it.
I wonder how she's holding up, she seems to be in better shape today but I think I should leave her be for now. he thought cautiously.
"You sure seem really worried Naegi. Is everything alright?" asked Junko mysteriously walking beside him.
When did she get there?! he thought confused.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he smiled.
"Are you suuuure? You look like your about to cry" she replied.
I think its best I don't tell everyone. I might make Sakura mad at me. When she's ready she'll be able to tell us all, he thought happily.
"What?! If I was crying I'm sure it wouldn't be at time like this" he replied shocked.
(Junk Food For a Dashing Youth Music Plays...)
"Hmmmmmmmmmmm..." Junko hummed as she stared down into the pit of his soul. Naegi noticed that she was at least a little less than half a foot taller than him but he didn't seem to fall for what she was trying to do and knew that if he remained calm nothing will let him lose his hope.
"I believe he's telling the truth" replied Kyoko, walking beside Naegi to his left and he looked to her way shocked.
"Oh! Ultimate Detective Kyoko Kirigiri you trust him! That's a big step into friendship don't you think?" she asked curious.
She smiled lightly having her head down and closing her eyes.
"Hm. I can tell when a person lies" she stated.
"Wow. Well than that must make sense. Since you arrrre the Ultimate Detective and that I see you two quite often together" she replied.
"Huh? Wait what?" Naegi asked puzzled.
"What's this?! Are you denying the truth? Makoto Naegi?!" she asked shocked, giving off a corny annoying attitude.
"Umm I d-dont underst-"
'So she knows that we've been hanging out...this is not good...got to be more cautious' thought Kyoko.
"Well Kyoko you can tell us the truth can't you?" she asked mockingly cutting Naegi short.
'...I mustn't let the present Naegi become suspicious, that will only complicate things. Lets try this'
"In this case, it seems that I can't make that judgement call" she replied calmly.
"Uhh...how come?" Junko asked sheepishly.
"Because I can tell your lying" she replied.
"...Oh, I see. Well there's nothing I can do here to make you believe the truth. But whatever have your fun" Junko replied quietly as she walked past them and surprising Mukuro tailing behind her.
"What was that all about?" Naegi asked curious looking at Kyoko.
"I'm not sure, maybe she was trying to find where your most vulnerable spot was in your emotions" she replied crossing her arms now as they were now making their way up the stairs.
"Y-yeah but why would she want to do that?" he asked still puzzled as he thought about it himself relentless of the fact for Junko's reasoning.
Kyoko started at him in fascination but more curious about how he was now than the way he changed from the future. When she looked at him he could see that he was lost, confused but happy and carefree. She felt more and more sad for him that the thought of what is to become of her classmates known as "The Tragedy" would lead to Naegi coming from the future. However, she has second thoughts about Naegi not telling her the full truth of the future. Day after day it would bother her, but overall she only had a small lead to the case that cease to exist; although she still has an epiphany that its believable. In any case, she has to keep all the possibilities open for now until she can gather more intel between the two characters of him and Junko; even Mukuro and other suspects or victims that may involve in this suspicious case altogether.
"Lets hurry and get to the physics lab" replied Kyoko making her up the last step and striding forward into the hallway.
"Uh w-wait up!" he cried as he ran after her.
They make it inside the physic's lab and saw that everyone has already arrived there waiting for them two to make their way into the classroom. The Ultimate Manager physicist was just beginning to talk about the air purifier when he recognized the two that entered into the room.
"Oh god well look who it is, Mrs. Little Daddy's Girl and Mr. Strange One" he replied looking at Kyoko and then to Naegi.
'Strange One?' thought Naegi confused.
"Came back to interrogate me some more?" he asked with a cocky grin.
"..." Kyoko stared at him with a blank expression. The other classmates were a bit confused at what was happening and they all started to glance looks between Ueno and Kyoko.
"What's this? Why are you quiet now? Well whatever...NOW YOU!" he replied shouting his last words pointing his finger directly at Naegi.
"Aren't you going to say anything?!" he asked raising his eyebrow.
"Stop talking and explain to us what you do here, otherwise you're a waste of my time" replied Byakuya crossing his arms staring at Ueno impatiently.
"Y-you k-k-know how to make the atmosphere f-feel-" stuttered Fukawa crossing her hands together nervously.
"Don't speak" replied Byakuya bluntly.
"I can talk when I feel like it preppy boy!" exclaimed Ueno.
"Excuse me" replied Byakuya raising his eyebrow irritated with the guy's voice.
"You think you can talk big with all that fancy clothes you wear HA don't make me laugh" replied Ueno crossing his arms like a hot head.
"Do you even know who you're talking to? I Byakuya Togami am the heir of the Togami family. Peasants like you are not worthy of my time" replied Byakuya looking to the side as he was pretending to ignore him.
"W-w-w-w-w-whaaa...WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" exclaimed Ueno in anger raising his arms in the air like an animal out of control.
"Are you deaf? I specifically just told you what I said, people who speak with idiotic words are people who end up with idiotic jobs, its a shame for you" he replied smirking knowing that this guy was really immature.
"I'll report you! If you say one more-"
"Would you SHUT THE FUCK UP!" replied Oowada irritated with the pointless argument.
"AHHHHH" shrieked Ueno.
Leon sighs as he looks over to Oowada's way.
"Look what you did now you scared the little guy" replied Leon.
"I'm not little! If anyone is little here it's the strange one!" Said Ueno pointing his finger at Naegi.
Naegi looks at Ueno slightly annoyed by his reactions but more over confused of why he was picking on him.
"It seems like this guy doesn't know how to keep a game face" replied Celestia twisting her hair curls with her finger.
"Hey umm Unio..? or Undo can we get on with your lesson?" replied Asahina bored.
"It's Ueno!" he cried furiously.
"Umm...I'm not much to judge or be rude but I agree with her. Lets learn something!" replied Sayaka triumphly.
"Yeah! She's right! Stop rambling stupid nonsense" replied Leon.
"Nonsense eh?...Hm very well then, I'll continue with the lesson but on one condition" he replied.
"Seriously?" replied Leon crossing his arms confused.
"...You all must get my name right, starting with you donut women!" cried Ueno pointing his finger at Aoi Asahina who was standing beside Sakura innocently.
"Huh?! H-how did you know I like donuts?" asked Ashaina embarrassed and slightly puzzled.
"Because you were just eating one moments from when you entered my class! You should know that there's no food or beverages allowed in classrooms!" replied Ueno furiously.
"Oh well..." replied Asahina lost in a train of thought.
"That's enough from you. She'll call you whatever she feels to call you. If you don't start the lesson someones going to get HURT!" replied Sakura rising with energy of wrath in her system.
"O-o-oh okay okay then, very well lets begin" Ueno replied frightened in wide eye.
As the class was in there for a couple of hours Ueno explained to them about the basics of what his objective is within his job at Hope's Peak Academy and showed how the air purifer works. Soon enough the bell rang and everyone began making their way out of the room.

"If any of you are interested in helping out with conducting experiments or have any questions for the other members from the lab that will return in November we'll be able to assist you. Please come again if you're not a pain in the ass. Well seeya later!" replied Ueno giving off his last lecture as most of the students have already left the room.

Suddenly a sound of clapping distracts him blindly when he turns around to see someone behind near his office table in the far right of the room. The person was leaning against the table and clapping in a slow rhythm motion just staring at him bored.
"...What are you still doing here?" he asked puzzled and a bit agitated.
"..." the person kept clapping staring coldly at his eyes.
"Uh can you speak?" he asked a bit more promptly.
"..." the person still kept clapping but then stopped. The room went silent for a few moments as the atmosphere in the air and the sound of the loud air purifer was giving Ueno the chills. Immediately short after the person pushed their hands off the table in a little swing motion and began making their over to him.
Little by little the person made baby steps and Ueno was beginning to get scared, holding his teeth tightly in his mouth, he raised his consciousness in alarm feeling like he was in danger by this persons nature; he could tell something was beginning to brew.
"...Say something! You're creeping me out!" he exclaimed. The sound of clapping steps on the persons short heels squeaked on the shiny floor as they finally came to about 4 feet to Ueno. He looked at the person from up to down, then looked back at their eyes puzzled and was lightly shaking on the inside. It was something he couldn't describe, it was almost like he was sinking further and further into the floor, like his legs were unable to move but he believed that he was just paranoid.
"That was quite some show that you performed earlier, it was like you wanted admiration, like having the atrocities of your students to show mercy on their souls...but you failed" the person replied.
"Huh? What the hell are you saying?" Asked Ueno even more puzzled than before.
"I'm just saying you want people to see for who you are...right? I mean you seem like a guy who wants people to always listen to you"
"Well yeah, I want people to understand that I have a big job at conducting and maintaining this lab in a 8 hour stasis everyday throughout 7 days a week. But who would care to understand that?" he replied glumly.
"I do"
"Really?" he asked brightening up happily.
"Of course! You seem like a pretty cool guy! I'm sure if you show a bit more at attracting people's attention then I'm sure you'll get the admiration that you deserve!"
"Oh and how do you suggest that?" Asked Ueno curiously.
The persons lips curled into a little evil smile as they quietly made their way over to Ueno placing their hand to his ear whispering out loud clearly of only one single word that implanted in his mind.
"Despair..."
