Prologue: The Legendary Academy
START
The scene opens to a young boy standing outside of a large building, made from bricks. At the top of the building is its emblem. A shield shape with a checkered pattern, and two symbols overlapping each other. One, a black pen. The other, a strange jagged shape. On either side of the shield is a set of five feather-like shapes, and at the top sits a crown. The young boy looking up at the building has messy, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin. He's wearing a red short-sleeved t-shirt, white shorts, and white trainers.
(Excited Boy) We're finally here! Hope's Peak Academy! Aren't you excited, Ichiro?
[Hayato] Oh man, me and Ichiro have been looking forward to this forever! Oh! I guess I should start by introducing myself, huh? My name is Hayato Okumura. I'm a soon-to-be student of Hope's Peak Academy, a legendary academy that guarantees the success of the students that graduate. Only a select few are ever accepted into Hope's Peak each year, and, this year, I'm one of those lucky few. Oh! Speaking of lucky, I guess I should say why it is I was chosen. You see, Hope's Peak isn't your average high school. You can't enrol here, they have to scout you out, and they'll only do that if you have some kind of talent. The students that attend Hope's Peak are often called the "Ultimate" of whatever it was they were scouted for. For example, my friend Ichiro Mizushima was scouted as the Ultimate Illustrator. It's an ultimate honour to be selected by this academy. My case is...a little different, though. I don't have any special talents. But, every year the academy also randomly draws a name to enrol a normal school student into the academy. These students are known as the "Ultimate Lucky Students". I'm one of those lucky students. Though, really, I guess it's lucky for Ichiro, too! He was super scared of coming to this academy without someone he knows, so much so he almost turned down their invitation. But then I got chosen as the Ultimate Lucky Student, and we agreed to attend Hope's Peak together!
(Hayato) C'mon! C'mon! Aren't you finished yet?
A second boy stands up from the ground. This one has dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, and pale skin. He is wearing black rimmed glasses, a light grey short-sleeved t-shirt, long black trousers and black trainers. Under his left arm he has a large black book, in his right hand he has a pencil, and he has a backpack on his back.
(Ichiro) Finished. Sorry for the wait...
[Hayato] We got here super early, that was my fault, and Ichiro wanted to sketch the building while we had time. Now we can finally enter Hope's Peak Academy.
(Hayato) Ok, ok, let's go!
Hayato grabs Ichiro by the wrist and drags him along as he runs at fully speed towards the academy. He practically crashes through the doors and halts himself.
(Hayato) So... Where are we supposed to head to?
(Ichiro) According to the letters they sent us, we have to meet outside the gym at 7:00.
(Hayato) And what time is it now?
(Ichiro) 6:20.
(Hayato) So we've got plenty of time to look around!
(Ichiro) Forty minuets isn't that long...
(Hayato) Really..?
(Ichiro) With a building as big as Hope's Peak, we'd barely make it through even a fraction of the building in that time. Probably...
(Hayato) Yeah, I guess you're right. And besides, maybe there's someone earlier than us that's already waiting! Let's go!
[Hayato] At that moment, I felt a sharp pain shoot through my head as my vision became blurred. I tried to find Ichiro for support, but I couldn't see him because of my blurred eyesight. I couldn't see Ichiro, but I at least heard some of what he said.
(Ichiro) Wh...s ...pe...g, Ha...o?
[Hayato] Then...I lost consciousness...
(Hayato) Aw man... What happened..?
[Hayato] I could feel the hard stone floor beneath me. I lifted myself from it as my vision corrected itself. I was...in the main lobby of Hope's Peak Academy.
(Hayato) ICHIRO?!
(Quiet Voice) Mh...ngh...
[Hayato] As soon as my eyesight was better I scanned the room for Ichiro, and found him lying on the ground not that far from me.
(Hayato) Ichiro, you alright?
(Ichiro) I'm...fine... What do you think happened?
The two boys lift themselves off of the floor
(Hayato) I dunno. Hey! What time is it?!
(Ichiro) Huh? It's...7:10?!
(Hayato) Ah! We need to meet outside the gym, like, ten minutes ago!
(Ichiro) L-let's go!
The two boys hurry down the corridor, with Ichiro taking the lead
As soon as they reach the gym, they are greeted by a large group of people.
(Punctual Boy) What are you two doing?! You're late!
The boy that confronted them has neat, dark blue hair and dark grey eyes. He is wearing a white button-up shirt, sleek black trousers, and black leather shoes. He has a wrist watch on his left wrist
(Punctual Boy) Well? Explain yourselves!
(Collected Girl) Calm down. They were probably just lost.
The girl that had spoken up has blonde hair tied in a ponytail, light blue eyes, and tanned skin. She is wearing a red tracksuit with a white checkered pattered down the middle, opened at the top, showing her chest, and black trainers
(Punctual Boy) Well, I suppose that's alright.
(Uptight Boy) Regardless, it seems all the students have gathered. The meeting will surely begin soon.
The boy that had spoken has black spiky hair and light brown eyes. He is wearing a dark orange shirt over a white shirt, dark grey trousers, and black leather shoes
(Polite Girl) If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to that conclusion?
This girl has yellow hair tied into twin tails and orange eyes. She is wearing a white kimono that falls to her ankles and has sandals underneath
(Uptight Boy) What do you mean?
(Polite Girl) What makes you think this is all of us?
(Uptight Boy) It's obvious. Only fifteen students are taken into Hope's Peak each year. With these two having joined us, that makes fifteen.
(Polite Girl) Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation, and sorry for bothering you.
(Uptight Boy) Tch. Whatever.
[Hayato] These people...even the air about them is different. I guess that's part of being an ultimate.
(Man's Voice) Hello, students of Hope's Peak Academy!
All the students look around for the origin of the voice before noticing a speaker on the wall
(Speaker) I hope you're all doing well. You're time here at Hope's Peak Academy is sure to set you on your way to becoming some of the most successful people on the planet. Before we go further, you should get aquatinted with your future classmates. After you've done that, you may enter into gym.
(Ichiro) I guess that was the headmaster, or maybe one the teachers?
(Hayato) Prolly!
(Uptight Boy) Hmph. It doesn't matter who it was. In the time it took you two to arrive, we've already gotten acquainted. Now, you're holding us back even longer.
(Ichiro) S-Sorry..!
(Hayato) C'mon, Ichiro! Let's get to getting to know our classmates!
(Uptight Boy) Make it quick.
Hayato walks over to the boy that first spoke to them
(Hayato) Hiya! I'm Hayato Okumura! Who're you?!
(Shichiro) My name is Shichiro Kitagawa! It's a pleasure to meet you!
(Hayato) W-woah! You're kinda loud, huh?
(Ichiro) Pot, meet kettle...
(Hayato) ?
(Ichiro) ...
(Shichiro) I was given the honour of attending this prestigious academy under the title of Ultimate Role Model!
Shichiro Kitagawa. Ultimate Role Model
(Hayato) Cool! I'm, uh, the Ultimate Lucky Student, and my friend here is Ichiro Mizushima, Ultimate Illustrator.
(Shichiro) I hope we can all get along as fellow Ultimates and press forwards into the future together!
(Hayato) Yeah! Me too!
Next, Hayato approaches the girl with the tracksuit
(Hayato) H—
(Mami) Hello. I am Mami Nekahara, Ultimate Racer.
Mami Nekahara. Ultimate Racer
(Hayato) Y-you cut me right off...
(Mami) Sorry. I had a compulsive urge to introduce myself before you did.
(Hayato) Huh?
(Mami) I'm the Ultimate Racer. Naturally, to achieve this title, I've never taken second place in any speed-related contest. It seems that drive to be first has grown into a bad habit of interrupting people as they try to talk. I apologise, both for now, and for when it inevitably happened again.
(Hayato) No need to apologise! It's alright.
Hayato introduces himself and Ichiro to Mami
(Mami) I see. An illustrator and the student picked at random.
(Hayato) Yeah, unlike everyone else here, I haven't got any natural talent.
(Mami) That may not be true. While you were picked as the Ultimate Lucky Student, it does not mean you do not possess an Ultimate ability. You may simply not have found it yet. Perhaps you will find it here at Hope's Peak.
(Hayato) Y-Yeah! Maybe!
After finishing his conversation with Mami, Hayato moves on to the uptight seeming boy and introduces himself
(Uptight Boy) So, a lowly illustrator, and a random common folk?
(Hayato) H-hey! There's not need be so mean!
(Ichiro) Y-yeah..! Hayato's not just a "random common folk" he was chosen, just like the rest of—
The uptight boy glares at Ichiro
(Upright Boy) Shut up.
Ichiro retreats slightly, lifting the collar of his shirt over his mouth
(Hayato) Hey! Stop being such a dick!
(Uptight Boy) Do you even know who I am?
(Hayato) Should we?!
(Kyo) I am Kyo Yoshioka, the Ultimate Manga Creator.
Kyo Yoshioka. Ultimate Manga Creator
(Hayato) Why does being a manga writer make you any better tha—
(Kyo) Use you ears! I and not a lowly writer. I am a manga CREATOR! I have perfected every skill necessary to produce and sell manga completely on my own. That gives me a large amount of skills, as opposed to the singular skill you other Ultimates possess. Now get out of my presence and get on with your other introductions.
Getting practically forced away from Kyo, Hayato approaches the girl in the kimono and introduces himself and Ichiro
(Miku) Nice to meet you. I'm Miku Yamazaki.
(Ichiro) Yamazaki? I feel like I've heard that name before...
(Miku) Probably. I've played a role in a lot of movies and other stuff, so it's possible you heard it in one of those.
(Hayato) Huh? "Played a role"? Does that mean you're...
(Miku) Yup yup! The Ultimate Actress, at your service!
Miku Yamazaki. Ultimate Actress
(Hayato) Wow! It's kinda hard o believe I'm in the same room as such a famous actress!
(Miku) Ah, who cares?! We're classmates now! We can all be friends!
(Hayato) Hell yeah!
After an invigorating talk with the Ultimate Actress Miku, Hayato looks around at the rest of the students
[Hayato] Nobody else spoke up during our arrival. Who should I talk to next?
Smartly-dressed boy
Boy with a straw hat
Sporty-looking boy
Muscular man
Cheerful-looking girl
Messy-haired girl
Well-toned girl
Graceful-looking girl
-Hoodie-wearing girl
[Hayato] Guess I'll talk to her.
Hayato walks up to a girl with short light brown hair and pink eyes. She is wearing a dark green hoodie, with pink inside the hood, blue baggy trousers, and black shoes. Hayato introduces himself and Ichiro
(Spacey Girl) ...
(Hayato) Um, hello?
(Nanako) ...Nanako Minami...Ultimate Good Luck Charm...or Unlucky Person...
(Hayato) Huh? What do you mean "or"? Don't people only have one Ultimate ability?
(Nanako) ...I was told...that I could be entered under one of two titles...and that I should decide which one I want to use before induction...
(Hayato) Why'd you get two titles?
(Nanako) ...I'm very unlucky... I always trip over my own feet...and walk into every object in a room...
[Hayato] That sounds less like bad luck and more like not paying attention...
(Nanako) ...but people around me usually end up with really good luck... I had a friend who was in debt...we were supposed to be watching a movie together, but he bought a lottery ticket and it ended up being a winner... I haven't seen him since then...
(Hayato) When was that?
(Nanako) ...three years ago...
[Hayato] Some friend!
(Nanako) ...Anyway...that's why I was entered with two abilities... And I need to pick one soon...
(Hayato) Well, personally I think that bein' the Ultimate Good Luck Charm sounds way better than being the Ultimate Unlucky Person, don't you?
(Nanako) ...I guess...Ok...then I'll use the Ultimate Good Luck Charm as my tile...
Nanako Minami. Ultimate Good Luck Charm
[Hayato] Well, she was a little spacey, but she seems really nice. Who should I talk to next?
Smartly-dressed boy
Boy with a straw hat
Sporty-looking boy
Muscular man
Cheerful-looking girl
Messy-haired girl
-Well-toned girl
Graceful-looking girl
[Hayato] Let's try talking to her.
Hayato walks up to a girl with short ginger hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin. She is wearing a light brown short-sleeved shirt, dark cyan shorts, and is barefoot. Hayato introduces himself and Ichiro to the girl
(Masako) HEY! I'M MASAKO INABA!
(Ichiro) She's even louder than you...
(Masako) HUH?! I DIDN'T HEAR YA!
(Ichiro) ...
(Hayato) So, uh, Masako. What's your Ultimate ability?
(Masako) OH, THAT?! HEH HEH! I'M THE ULTIMATE ROCK CLIMBER!
Masako Inaba. Ultimate Rock Climber
(Hayato) Also, could you maybe not shout so loud? You're hurting my ears a little...
(Masako) Oh! Sorry!
(Hayato) Eh, it's alright!
(Masako) You sure? Your friend doesn't seem alright.
Hayato turns to see Ichiro holding his hands over his ears
(Hayato) Nah, he's fine. Just...not too big a fan of loud noises. Particularly voices.
(Masako) SO IT'S NOT FINE AT ALL THEN?! ...Oh! Sorry!
(Hayato) As long as you don't keep shouting like that, he should be fine.
(Masako) I'LL TRY MY BEST! ...Ah! Sorry!
[Hayato] Well, she was fun to talk to. Who should I hang out with next?
Smartly-dressed boy
Boy with a straw hat
Sporty-looking boy
Muscular man
Cheerful-looking girl
-Messy-haired girl
Graceful-looking girl
[Hayato] She looks interesting. Let's try her.
Hayato walks over to a girl with messy, shoulder length, dark green hair and orange eyes. She is wearing a sleeveless, dark cyan, denim jacket over a purple shirt, dark cyan, denim jeans and white trainers with pink patterns. Over her shoulder is a black strap attached to a black bag. As he approaches her, Hayato notices that she's looking up at the speaker
(Hayato) Is something wrong with that speaker?
(Messy-haired Girl) Oh, no. I was just wondering if I could hack into the school's speaker system...
(Hayato) Huh?
(Noa) My name is Noa Kamiya, and my ultimate talent is hacking.
Noa Kamiya. Ultimate Hacker
(Hayato) Isn't hacking kinda...illegal?
(Noa) Only if you get caught.
(Ichiro) To be recognised by Hope's Peak as the Ultimate Hacker, you have to have been caught. Otherwise they wouldn't know that you're a good hacker.
(Noa) Yeah...well... Maybe I did get caught... Once...
(Hayato) By who?
(Noa) ...Hope's Peak...
(Hayato) You were caught by Hope's Peak Academy?!
(Noa) Yeah. I was trying to hack into their database and see who the next line of Ultimate students may be, and got caught. But, instead of alerting the police, they offered me a place here as the Ultimate Hacker.
(Hayato) What other kinda of places have you hacked into?
(Noa) Pretty much anywhere that CAN be hacked into. Shops, banks, government files, home security systems, the list goes on.
(Ichiro) ...That's not something to be proud about...
(Hayato) All of those are crimes!
(Noa) But I didn't DO anything... I just hacked into them to see if I could, and the home security was my own.
(Hayato) Just because you didn't do anything doesn't make it not a crime!
(Noa) But the only people that know are the Hope's Peak staff, who said they'd keep it a secret if I enrolled here, and you two. If you disappeared, then no one would be around to tell anyone.
(Ichiro) I-is that a threat?
(Noa) No. Just a joke. I couldn't kill someone.
[Hayato] This girl's definitely suspicious. It's probably best to keep an eye on her. Anyway, who should I talk to next?
Smartly-dressed boy
Boy with a straw hat
Sporty-looking boy
Muscular man
Cheerful-looking girl
-Graceful-looking girl
[Hayato] Guess I'll go with her.
Hayato walks over to a girl who has long lilac hair, brown eyes, and is wearing a white, sleeveless dress. As the two approach, she turns to look at them and smiles gently
(Graceful-looking Girl) Hello.
(Hayato) Hi! I'm Hayato Okumura, Ultimate Lucky Student.
The girl looks at Ichiro
(Graceful-looking Girl) And you?
(Hayato) That's—
(Graceful-looking Girl) No. Let him speak. He'll never open up if he relies on you for everything. So, what's your name? And your talent?
(Ichiro) I-Ichiro M-M-Mizushima... Illustrator...
The girl claps her hands together
(Yumiko) Well, it's a start I suppose. Anyway, I'm Yumiko Ikeda. You can just call me Yumi. I'm the Ultimate Ice Skater.
Yumiko Ikeda. Ultimate Ice Skater
(Yumiko) I hope we can all get along and help each other overcome our weaknesses.
[Hayato] She seems really nice. And she wants to help Ichiro open up more. At least ther's one person here we can definitely trust. So, who do I talk to next?
Smartly-dressed boy
Boy with a straw hat
Sporty-looking boy
-Muscular man
Cheerful-looking girl
[Hayato] He's as good as anyone.
Hayato walks over to an extremely tall and muscular man who has black, slicked back hair, bright green eyes, and is wearing a knitted lilac sweater, dark grey tracksuit trousers and black trainers
(Junpei) HELLO! I AM JUNPEI KANDA, THE ULTIMATE KNITTER!
Junpei Kanda. Ultimate Knitter
(Hayato) Hey! I'm Hayato Okumu—huh?! Ultimate Knitter?! I thought you were a staff member!
(Junpei) I'm only eighteen!
(Hayato) Wha?! S-Sorry... You're just...so tall, I didn't expect you to be the same age as me. And even then, Ultimate KNITTER?! I would have thought someone like you would have been the Ultimate Martial Artist or something.
(Junpei) N-no way! Not me! I can't fight! I can't even watch fighting!
(Hayato) Wh—really?!
(Junpei) Really! Just watching people fight makes me scared...
[Hayato] He's not what I expected at all from someone of his body type, but he seems really nice. Who's next?
-Smartly-dressed boy
Boy with a straw hat
Sporty-looking boy
Cheerful-looking girl
[Hayato] Let's do this guy next.
Hayato walks over to a boy with black hair that's brushed to the right, cyan and eyes, and who is wearing a black vest over a white button-up shirt, sleek black trousers, black gloves, and black leather shoes
(Hayato) Hi! I'm Hayato Okumura. How 'bout you?
(Hanzou) I am Hanzou Fukui. How may I be of service.
(Hayato) Man, you're real polite, huh?
(Hanzou) It is a part of my duty.
(Hayato) So, what's your ultimate?
(Hanzou) I was enrolled in this prestigious academy as the Ultimate Butler.
Hanzou Fukui. Ultimate Butler
(Hayato) Ultimate Butler, huh? No wonder you're so polite.
(Hanzou) Indeed. Now, I suggest you introduce yourselves to the other students. We do not wish to keep the staff waiting.
(Hayato) R-right!
[Hayato] So, following his instructions, I went to the next person.
Boy with a straw hat
-Sporty-looking boy
Cheerful-looking girl
Hayato walks up to a boy, slightly taller than himself, with shoulder length dark blue hair, bright blue eyes, and tanned skin. The boy is wearing a white sleeveless jacket with red lining around the shoulders and zip, dark red tracksuit trousers and white trainers with black patterns
(Nobuyuki) Hello! I'm Nobuyuki Nakashima, and I'm here as the Ultimate Dodgeball Star.
Nobuyuki Nakashima. Ultimate Dodgeball Star
(Nobuyuki) So, what's your name?
(Hayato) Hiya!-to. It's Hayato.
(Nobuyuki) I got it, thanks.
(Hayato) Alright. And this is Ichiro.
(Ichiro) H-hello...
(Nobuyuki) Sounds like you could use a confidence boost. Come talk to me sometime, I'll help ya!
(Ichiro) ...
[Hayato] He seems really nice. Well, who should I talk to next?
Boy with a straw hat
-Cheerful-looking girl
[Hayato] She looks like she's having fun.
Hayato excitedly approaches a girl with long dark blue hair and pink eyes. She is wearing a pale red button-up shirt, opened at the top, exposing her black tube top beneath, and opened at the bottom, exposing her belly, tight cyan jeans that accentuate her hips, black, over-the-knee socks and black high heels
(Cheerful-looking Girl) Hiya! How're you? That jerk Kyo didn't put you off of Hope's Peak did he?
(Hayato) O-Oh, no, it's fine. Really, I just hate how he talked to Ichiro.
(Cheerful-looking Girl) Oh, is that your friend hiding behind you?
(Hayato) Yeah, he doesn't do well with new people. He'll probably warm up to everyone eventually.
(Cheerful-looking Girl) I hope so! Then we can have a big, naked class party!
(Hayato) Yeah! ...Wait, WHAT?!
(Questionable Girl) Oh, c'mon! Don't you wanna see all the girls naked?
(Hayato) NO!
(Questionable Girl) So, the guys are more your style?
(Hayato) NO! I don't want to see anyone naked!
[Hayato] What's with this girl?! How can these be things she can just casually ask?!
The girls then crosses her arms and turns her head away from Hayato
(Questionable Girl) ...you're such a prude...
(Hayato) Ah! Anyway, what's your name?
The girl looks back to him with stars in her eyes
(Questionable Girl) Oh ho! Are you hitting on me now?
(Hayato) NO!
[Hayato] ARGH! This girl's gonna make me blow a gasket!
(Hayato) We're supposed to be getting to know each other, so I just wanted to introduce myself and Ichiro to everyone, and ask them their names and talents!
(Questionable Girl) Oh, that's all...
The girl crosses her arms and looks away again
(Questionable Girl) ...that's boring...
(Hayato) Can you PLEASE just tell me your name and talent. WITHOUT any of the whatever else this conversation has been?
(Questionable Girl) ...
(Hayato) ?
[Hayato] Why's she gone quiet all of a sudden?
(Questionable Girl) ...no.
(Hayato) Huh?!
(Questionable Girl) You've offended me. And I'll never, ever forgive you. Ever!
[Hayato] Oh for love of..!
(Hayato) Look, we really need to get this done. Can you just forgive me. Just for now?
The girl looks at the two. She shuts one eyes as a wry smile makes its onto her face
(Questionable Girl) ...Maybe if your friend drops his pants for me.
(Ichiro) ABSOLUTELY NOT!
(Questionable Girl) HE SPEAKS?!
(Hayato) OF COURSE HE SPEAKS!
(Questionable Girl) How was I supposed to know?! He hasn't said a word for this entire conversation!
(Hayato) That's because you're probably overwhelming him!
The girl looks away again, this time placing a finger to her chin
[Hayato] What now?!
(Questionable Girl) If you can be overwhelmed, can you be just plain whelmed?
[Hayato] Where'd this come from?!
(Hayato) I-I have no idea!
(Questionable Girl) Hm? Why are you shouting?
(Hayato) Wha—because you... Ugh, never mind. Can you PLEASE just tell us your name and talent?
(Questionable Girl) Didn't you ask me this already?
[Hayato] Yes! And you never answered!
(Sayuri) Ah well, whatever. I'm Sayuri Amano, the Ultimate Clothing Designer.
Sayuri Amano. Ultimate Clothing Designer
(Sayuri) Well, they say I'm the Ultimate Clothing Designer, but I much prefer actually making the clothes. Ya know, tailoring. Why couldn't I be the Ultimate Tailor?
(Hayato) I...
[Hayato] I don't think I have the mental fortitude to try and continue this conversation... I guess that just leaves one other person to talk to.
Hayato approaches a boy with short, blond hair and dark green eyes. He is wearing a blue, short-sleeved shirt, light grey capri shorts, with bandages wrapped around his otherwise bare feet. He has a sash over his right shoulder that connects to a belt around his waist. The belt has several small bags and satchels attaches to it
(Hayato) Hey!
(Takuya) Hello. I'm Takuya Okamoto, the Ultimate Angler.
Takuya Okamoto. Ultimate Angler
Hayato introduces himself and Ichiro
(Takuya) You two seem a decent sort. Good friends, too, I'd reckon.
(Hayato) Yeah! Me and Ichiro have been together since we were kids!
(Takuya) That's good. Friends are a great thing too have. Don't do anything to lose that.
[Hayato] Was that a hint of sadness in his voice? Maybe I should—
(Kyo) Alright then. If you're finally done introducing yourselves then we can head in.
(Quiet Girl) U-um...
[Hayato] I guess I'll have to learn more later...
(Quiet Girl) P-please...don't ignore me...
(Ichiro) ...
[Hayato] It's time to head to the gym, I guess...
(Ichiro) ...She's talking to you, you know...
(Hayato) Huh? Who?
(Ichiro) Her.
[Hayato] I followed Ichiro's gaze and...
Hayato turns his head and sees a girl with dark grey hair tied into a ponytail, brown eyes, and pale skin. She is wearing a black shirt, with the sleeves covering her hands, black trousers, and black socks with no shoes
(Hayato) AAAAAAAHHHHH!
(Quiet Girl) Kyaaaaaa!
[Hayato] An unfamiliar girl was just standing behind me!
(Hayato) W-where did you come from?!
(Quiet Girl) I-I've been here...the whole time... I'm sorry!
(Hayato) Huh? Sorry about what?
(Quiet Girl) For being so unnoticeable!
(Hayato) Uh... T-that's not your fault. H-hey! How about we start over? I'm Hayato Okumura, the Ultimate Lucky Student. And my friend here is—
(Ichiro) I-Ichiro Mizushima. Ultimate Illustrator.
(Hayato) You introduced yourself? What's the special occasion?
(Kyouko) I-I-I'm K-K-K-Kyouko Abe. A-A-And I'm...th-the U-Ultimate N-Ninja...
Kyouko Abe. Ultimate Ninja
(Hayato) Nice to meet ya!
(Kyouko) Y-Y-Yes! S-S-Same...t-to you! Y-You're the f-first one...to not ignore me. Y-You're so kind...
(Hayato) Really? But didn't Kyo say that everybody already introduced themselves before me and Ichiro got here?
(Kyouko) Y-Yes, but...w-when I tried to introduce myself, th-they all acted like I wasn't there.
(Hayato) That's weird... OH! Maybe it's because you're Ultimate Ninja? They couldn't see you 'cause you're such a good ninja!
(Kyouko) B-B-But ninja was—
(Kyo) How much longer are you two going to keep us waiting?! Get in here, now!
[Hayato] I looked around and noticed everybody else had left the area. I guess they went into the gym without us.
(Ichiro) ...We should probably go in...
(Hayato) R-Right!
[Hayato] So, this it. Once I step through these doors, my time as a Hope's Peak Academy Student will officially start. I can't wait!
