A new day had begun for Naegi Makoto.
Today was a special day, because tomorrow would start a new moment in his life.
We returned two weeks ago, when his sister, Naegi Komaru, surprised him with a letter announcing that he had been accepted into the Hope's Peak Academy as the definitive lucky student.
Hope's Peak Academy was an institution in charge of educating people that was a fact that they were going to excel in their talent, and hence because they were called "student X definitive talent".
Now, since the letter had arrived two weeks passed ... Where was Naegi Makoto now?
... ... ...
... ... ...
"Huum ... How long have I not come here?" he asked himself looking at the park pond, remembering that the last time he had been here, there were not so many ducks.
From early on, Makoto had come to the park to calm her nerves a little about the day that awaited her tomorrow, that is, he was going to enter what was considered the best educational institution in the world.
Not only that, but also the question of "why him?"
He was eating his mind, that is, he was just an average person.
"Well, look, I think he hasn't seen this place for 75 years," said a voice that seemed altered with autotune.
"Hey?! Who?"
The boy looked from left to right, unsuccessful in finding the source of that voice.
"Down here, antenna head!"
What happened next, pulled Naegi Makoto from reality itself.
He saw a teddy bear sitting, on one side it was pure white, normal eye and a common smile of every teddy bear. On the other side ... It was a bright blue with some purple shadows, an eye formed by a thin, sharp line that shone with a green light.
"I-is ... Is it a bad joke?" i ask to nothing as he took the bear and lifted it with both hands.
"I am not a teddy bear, I am Makoto Naegi!"
"Buaah!"
Makoto dropped the bear as he threw himself behind a bench and took a branch from the ground as a weapon.
At first I thought he had a microphone inside, but when he picked it up, he spoke and shook his head slightly, he stopped believing it.
"What is that way of treating you? ... Oh, that didn't sound good," they didn't both look away from the other, one trembling slightly and then ... The other was a teddy bear. "Look, calm down. Sit on the bench, listen to me and you will make sense of this."
The lucky student was not sure whether to believe in the words of his self-proclaimed "I", with his mind working at full speed for his nerves as to tomorrow and the sudden appearance of the bear, he really didn't find anything more reasonable in such a random situation.
Without a better way out, Naegi sighed and sat down again trying to keep control.
"Good choice, now you allow me."
With a somewhat tender gesture, the talking teddy extended his arms asking Naegi to put him on the bench rail.
When he did, a false voice emerged from his non-existent throat and began to tell what it was.
"Naegi Makoto, this is hard to believe, but I am you ... From a very distant future."
Makoto's smile remained as he thought he had heard badly.
«Oh well, it was just, what?!» "Ah?! Are you something like ... a-a?!"
"Yeah, a time traveler. And you will ask yourself, If he is me, why is he a talking bear? I have the answer! When my natural end came, the foundation at work kept my memories at the request that they do this."
"Foundation? What do you mean they did this, to send you to the past or bec- "cough", become a bear?"
"To make me a teddy bear of course, with the technology that the Foundation of the Future had at that time, it was easy. Time travel came 15 years later."
"I still don't understand, what is that Foundation of the Future?"
A brief, but icy silence covered both of them in an instant.
The truth, or its remains, were going to be told ahead of time and so you could open a chance to avoid everything.
"Sigh", I'll be honest. Parts of my memory were damaged even before they were passed on to this, I don't remember any names, none. There is also information that I forgot flat, I'm sorry, but there are some things that I will have to tell the score."
"Okay, quiet," there he was, the smile that the Makoto dared to see. That was enough to know he wasn't wrong.
"I'll start with ... what happened to our senpais class."
... ... ...
... ... ...
"Did you investigate our classmates?"
"Of course, Onee-chan!" we would just have to review it a bit.
"Ah yeah sure."
Entering a short panic, the young girl with black hair and cut began to read the list.
"Let's see ... Maizono Sayaka, the ultimate idol student."
"He passed."
"Togami Byakuya, the ultimate heir student."
"Ah, that guy ... Boringgg~"
"E-uh ... Naegi Makoto, the ultimate lucky student."
"That? What kind of talent is that?"
"It seems that he won a kind of lottery, other than that, I can't find anything else."
"Hmmm ... bah, whatever. Continue."
"Ishimaru Kiyotaka, the ultimate prefect student. They also nickname it as "definitive moral compass."
"Well, that could be a slight problem ... Bah! It is still boring!"
... ... ...
... ... ...
For almost an hour and a half Makoto had listened attentively to his other self who claimed to have traveled in time.
If at first it was difficult to assimilate a talking bear, then now it was more.
The most Despair event in the history of mankind? Murder game? Did the Future Foundation working for the good of Hope? What the hell was all that?
"It's hard to believe, but all that is true. All executed by a Master Mind."
There was still something that Naegi wanted to know, maybe it was useless, but he begged it to be there.
"This "Master Mind"... Can't you remember who it was?"
"I wouldn't want anything else, believe me. But I don't remember any name, only the actions that happened."
"Sigh" ...
It seemed that all Makoto's energy had been drained.
In less than a day, the terrible things that came to the future were of his knowledge for a bizarre version of it while he craved it, nerves and a slight anguish for tomorrow continued, now stirring even his stomach.
"Do you know why he travels?"
"Eh? Wouldn't it be to fix everything?"
"Jujuju, I'm not going to get into details, but altering the past cannot change a future it has already cast. The only thing that would cause would be a future separated from the other.'
"Then why did you travel? What wouldn't that fix nothing about your future?"
"Well ..." if he had tears, the bear was wearing them out right now. He had waited a long time for this. "I want a true happy ending, for everyone. I may even resent the Mastermind, but nobody, and when I say "nobody"! He will die It will be a true "happy end" for everyone."
" ... we have the chance in hand."
"We have?'
"Yes, I say, it wouldn't help, right?"
Now it was final. Maybe the aged Makoto-bear and his memories could not do much, but with his "I" from that time before the tragedy, there was a real chance to avoid everything.
"Ju, I knew I could count on you!" As if the tone was not enough to finish the sincere happiness, the bear jumped and hugged Naegi as best he could. This will entail a lot, but in the end, it will be worth it.
"If we can avoid what you said, then it will be so!" Makoto exclaimed with a somewhat mixed enthusiasm, that for not knowing the identity of the person behind everything.
"Look, boy, don't you have to distrust who you know from now on."
"You're right, I don't even know who they are. Everyone is just ... people with whom I would like to get along and have a good morning."
"Well said! You know? Maybe we could look a little about your classmates. A good first impression is always welcome."
"Hehe. You can eat? It would be good to do it while we eat some candy."
