First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story picks up after the last chapter, where both protagonists are going to set foot at Hope's Peak to start their high school lives, but don't expect them to have a good start, as they are going to have a rough beginning ad they try to cope with their first week in class, so buckle up, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 3: Kurasu no Shonichi
An hour later, Natsumi arrived home, and went inside the house, where Mr. Kuzuryu is in a middle of a meeting with various branch leaders of the mafia, and there she greeted her dad, and bowed to the branch leaders which they bowed to her as well, and Mr. Kuzuryu asks how did things go at Hope's Peak, which she said that things went well, though she said she finds it boring after being assigned to the reserve course, but her dad said that had she accepted the offer to be the heir instead of giving it to Fuyuhiko, she might have gotten to the main course, but she said that she will find a way to get noticed and transferred to the main course, which her dad sensed that she might get into trouble knowing how troublesome she can be, especially when having a bit of violent reactions.
"What was that, dad?"
"You heard me...I doubt that you could make it to the main course on your own..."
"But...!"
"If you want to get into the main course like your brother, you need to find a talent that the scout would consider..."
"I already have one...the SUPER HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL YOUNGER SISTER..."
"That's foolish...whatever...go to your room and rest..."
"Fine!"
"Sigh..."
After that, Natsumi went to her room, and the branch leader asks Mr. Kuzuryu if letting her attend to Hope's Peak is okay seeing that she has not shown any specific talent other than managing to make contracts with certain people, and he said that as long as she does well, it would be okay, and it is better than letting her stay at home and cause trouble, which the others nodded in agreement seeing how Natsumi can be a bit terrifying when violent. One branch leader even recalled how she beat up one of her men after he mistakenly gave her a men's underwear thinking it belonged to her and foolishly assume she is a lesbian and it took Fuyuhiko and Pekoyama to calm her down.
One of the branch leaders then asks what would happen if Natsumi finds a boyfriend at the academy, which Mr. Kuzuryu pondered about that possibility, though he dismisses it knowing that Natsumi has no time or interests for those kind of things and that he is sure that ordinary boys would steer clear from her the moment they find out about her true identity as a Kuzuryu, and that she would rather concentrate on becoming someone within the Kuzuryu family who would help in strengthening the mafia network within Japan.
"...and that's what I think about my daughter..."
"I see..."
"I wonder why she did not accept the title of heir to your network...?"
"But since your eldest son became the heir...where would this leave your daughter?"
"I'm sure Natsumi would find a way..."
"I suppose..."
"Still she is one tough girl..."
"I wonder if my son would woo your daughter..."
Not far, Peko Pekoyama overheard the conversation, and left intending, to tell Fuyuhiko what she just heard, and felt that he needs to be informed about what his younger sister is doing and she has a feeling that Fuyuhiko would get stressed should he imagine the antics Natsumi might cause once she starts attending Hope's Peak Academy. However, Mr. Kuzuryu summoned Peko and assigned her to do some errands which she obliges, and she left, but she intends to tell Fuyuhiko about the matter once she gets back.

At the Naegi residence, Naegi sweat-dropped as his parents and younger sister are concerned, and nearly went ballistic after seeing his bruised face and when told of what happened, and Mr. Naegi is getting up and heading for the police station to get his hands on the fired security guard for beating up Naegi, but his wife and Komaru grappled onto him and urged him to calm down and said they would seek a lawyer to file charges against the guard.
However, Naegi's dad wouldn't have any of it, saying that Naegi should not have been beaten up like a trash can and said that the higher-ups at Hope's Peak should assign SMARTER and RESPONSIBLE guards to man the school and not treat his son like a suspicious person and is ready to bolt out of the house but his wife and Komaru urged him to calm down, and Naegi himself stepped in and told his dad that the guard is fired, as well as being jailed, and he is now enrolled at the academy, and he should not cause a scene that might cause trouble.
"Dad, calm down!"
"I won't!"
"But dad...!"
"I won't let that guy beat you up like a punching bag! I'll see toit that he gets what is coming!"
"There's no need for that, dad!"
"There is!"
"Give it a rest, already!"
"But, Makoto...!"
Naegi's dad still wouldn't budge and insisted that he confront the ex-guard, but Naegi then told his dad that the guard was already in jail after the headmaster filed charges against him as well as being fired from Hope's Peak, but his dad told Naegi that he should learn to defend himself and not getting beaten up, urging him to be a MAN, so that he can attract pretty girls at Hope's Peak Academy, which caused Naegi to fall to the floor, anime-style, but he gets up and began arguing with his dad for making such lame comments.
But his dad rebutted and said that aside from attending the academy, Makoto should show everyone that even normal persons can shine and not to be shown as a pushover, and there he told him to bring a camera and take pictures of Hope's Peak Academy, as well as take pictures of pretty girls, and urged him to take the initiative to ask her out on a date, saying this would be a plus factor that even ordinary boys have the ability to swoon a girl, just like he did when he asked his wife out when they were teenagers, and Naegi fell to the floor (anime-style) and began arguing with his dad over the silly comment.
"Dad!"
"What?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Of course not! What I'm telling you would help you socialize anyone at Hope's Peak!"
"But..."
"If you managed to get a girlfriend..you could become the SUPER HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL BOYFRIEND..."
"Will you knock it off?!"
"Come on, Makoto...I'm trying to help you..."
Komaru and her mom sweat-dropped seeing the father and son bickering non-stop and they sighed at this yet they were happy to see that Makoto is about to start a new academic life and hoped that once Naegi graduates he would succeed in life and makes life easy for the Naegi family, and Komaru glanced at the academy uniform, and wondered if she too would have a talent, though it was wishful thinking since she is only 13 years old, but her mom encouraged her to try whatever talent she has, and said that in two years from now, she might get scouted by Hope's Peak and may end up at the main course, which lift Komaru's spirits.
"Really, mom?"
"Yes...think of a talent that you're good at...and the scouts might take notice of you..."
"Hmm..."
"Well, Komaru?"
"Okay...I'll think of something..."
"That's the spirit, Komaru..."
"Thanks, mom!"
"Sure..."

A week later, it was Monday, and the scene shows that Hope's Peak Academy is in full swing, as several new students are flocking the main building, and many of them are glancing at the bulletin board to find which section are they assigned to, and are excited to spend their first day of classes each of them were given an assigned title, and not far, Naegi had just entered the main course building, and he too wondered what awaits him as he is bracing himself to spend his first day of classes, and as he stood in front of the bulletin board, he saw several sections and glanced at each one, until finding his name and finds out that he is sorted to Class 78.
Taking a deep breath, Naegi walked the hallway and saw many students hanging out, some chatting with one another, but then some glanced at him and whispered, seeing that Naegi is so short for an average high school student and that he looked too ordinary and some even wondered why a plain-looking boy is doing here, seeing him as an eyesore and nothing more, believing that Naegi does not have the image of a Super High School-level type of a student, which Naegi mentally sighed as he heard their comments about him.
"Look t that kid..."
"Is he in high school?"
"What a boring guy..."
"What's his talent?"
"Is he really a main course student?"
"I bet he cheated his way here..."
"So plain..."
"He's an eyesore..."
Naegi proceeded to walk towards the classroom as the other students glanced at him, and they discovered his section and continued to eye him, curious to see what he can do seeing that Naegi is too ordinary and they wondered if he bribed someone just to get him into the main course and they vowed to find out what Naegi is, not realizing that Naegi was sorted into the main course due to his high school title, and the scene shifts inside where Naegi is greeted by someone he knew, which turns out to be Sayaka Maizono, and Naegi is surprised to see that his schoolmate from middle school got in to this academy.
"Naegi-kun...?"
"Huh?"
"It really is you!"
"Huh...? Maizono-san?"
"Yes...it's me!"
"No way..you were scouted as well?"
"That's right!"
"Really?"
Maizono is surprised to hear that he was sorted to the main course due to his LUCK, and the other students inside the classroom, who would become his classmates, overheard this, and one of them approached Naegi, a tan-skinned girl identified as Aoi Asahina, and she asks him if the LUCKSTER is really his talent title, and when he nodded, she said that it doesn't matter as long as he gets sorted here and showcase his talent and that he would make friends here.
Naegi smiled seeing that there are students who would accept people for who they are, seeing that talent do not matter much and began engaging a conversation with Asahina seeing that she is a nice person, and the two slowly became friends as Maizono watches on seeing Naegi making friends, feeling that Naegi would fit in well in Hope's Peak Academy, and the scene shows that Naegi and Asahina are talking, slowly becoming fast friends.
"Wow...your talent is Good Luck?"
"Yeah..that's what the scout saw in me..."
"Maybe he's right...you were lucky to get scouted in Hope's Peak..!"
"So...what's your talent?"
"Swimmer..."
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"I see..."
Another classmate approached Naegi and made a conversation with him and told him she is curious if he really has LUCK, saying that she too has LUCK, and when he asks her if she is also a LUCKSTER, the girl shook her head and said that her title is SUPER HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL GAMBLER, and said that she won numerous gambling games due to her LUCK, and she invited him to come with her to a casino so as to test if he really has luck, which Naegi sweat-dropped at the conversation.
"Uh..."
"So what do you say? Come with me...we go to a casino...and play with me...there I would see if you really have LUCK..."
"But...I don't gamble..."
"Then I'll show you how..."
"Uh...I'm underage..."
"I know of a place where you can play without asking your age..."
"But still..."
"Leave it to me..."
The girl is identified as Celestia Ludenberg, and she said that if Naegi's LUCK is for real, then he can make a lot of money, but another classmate stepped in and reprimand Celestia for teaching Naegi to do bad habits which is unacceptable, causing the two to bicker at each other, which caused Naegi to sweat-drop at seeing the argument between his two classmates.
The two teens in front of Naegi began arguing over MORAL MATTERS, which Ludenberg chided the male classmate for being OLD FASHIONED, but he said that her words are uncalled for and that she should be a good example to students and not become a bad influence, but Ludenberg teases him for being jealous and the other boy verbally fired back and reprimanded her for her comments.
"How dare you!"
"Pardon me?"
"You are becoming a bad influence! Goading your classmate to do gambling...that is against the school rules!"
"Don't be so uptight..."
"You should know better and behave yourself!"
"I'm not a kid..."
"You are a student of Hope's Peak!"
"So what?"
The classmate who reprimanded Celestia is identified as Kiyotaka Ishimaru, and Naegi learned that Ishimaru's title is SUPER HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL DISCIPLINARIAN, and Naegi used his skills as a pacifist and tries to calm his two classmates down, in which the classroom would soon become lively, but outside, the other students eavesdropped at the scene, and they were flabbergasted upon discovering Naegi's name and his high school title, and they could not believe that someone like him made it to the main course and they branded him a true eyesore of the academy.
"That kid? A Luckster?"
"What kind of talent is that?"
"Bullshit!"
"I bet he bribed the headmaster..."
"He really is an eyesore..."
"What a loser..."
"How did someone like him ended up here?"
"Luckster my ass..."
-x-
At the reserve course building, the scene shifts inside a classroom where Hajime Hinata is sitting, and is glancing at his hand where it showed marks on his fingers after playing the PS VITA gadget from several games due to him getting roped in by Nanami, and though he is a bit bewildered, he started to feel contentment and felt that he made a friend, but then his musing was interrupted when a teacher came in and announced that a transfer student is here to be part of this section, who turn out to be Natsumi Kuzuryu, and while the students were at first drawn by her pretty face and figure, they were instantly turned off once she greeted her new classmates.
"Hello...I don't know why I ended up being sorted with you garbage...but oh well...nice to meet you..."
Natsumi then took her seat, and as the other classmates chose to ignore her, one student in particular was seen glaring at Natsumi, as if that student know her, and is not pleased to see her here and became worried over something, and Hinata glanced at Natsumi as she began to act so haughtily yet she showcased her skills during lecture, and he wondered what would happen in the next few days from now as he has a feeling thongs would not go well in this section.
