Happy new year!
Welcome to 2015!
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 even though it only got a few reviews despite having more than 10 followers and favorites. Now to see if the reception is good enough and if this chapter is well-received or not, but I'll do my best to make this story exciting for you readers out there.
We are now commencing on the first story arc, and this will involve Sayaka Maizono as she gets to hang out with Naegi and this will attract a "minor villain" who intends to become a foil to the developing relationship between Naegi and Maizono, though Kyoko Kirigiri gets involved in certain moments in this first arc.
The scene shows that Naegi is walking towards Hope's Peak Academy and he appeared to be a bit weary given the recent events, and he wished that what happened recently is only a dream, but he couldn't deny the experience he felt after putting on the red suit, then he ended up flying and landed on a dead-end wall, being picked up by paramedics after deeming him a nut case and narrowly escaped.
Now he has to keep things under wrap as Kirigiri is the first person to know of his "secret" though he only agreed to let her in because she helped him escape the mental hospital. By then his trail of thoughts was interrupted when Maizono came and greeted him, and Naegi had to smile and make it appear that he is in high spirits, as he did not want to let her know the insanity he got himself in, and wanted to keep things like that.
"Naegi-kun!"
"Ah, Miazono-san!"
"Good morning!"
"Good morning to you as well..."
"How are you doing?"
"Fine...I'm doing fine..."
"Really...?"
"Yeah, really..."
By then, Sakura Ohgami and Aoi Asahina came and there Naegi's heart beats a bit faster upon hearing them discussing about a FLYING OBJECT and he realized that he was indirectly seen though he is relieved that no one has seen his face, and hoped that there would be anyone else who saw a sighting of a flying boy as the four students went inside the academy.
Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Ch. 7: Aidoru to Dēto
The scene later shifts to an unknown location where it shows that the place appeared to be an abandoned building, where debris and trash are scattered, and the scene zooms around where every space at the wall are plastered with posters, which showed the five-girl band idols, with Sayaka Maizono in the center, and another scene shows that some of the areas of the wall have Maizono's picture plastered, and soon the scene zooms at a silhouette of a fan who is watching a TV where Maizono and her idol band are performing a live show, and there the scene zoomed closer towards the TV where it showed Maizono and her band are singing a song, which is titled "Monochrome Answer".

The unseen fan then placed a hand on the TV, and seemed to be "worshiping" Maizono and intends to find a way to get close to her so the unseen fan could get the chance to express something to the Idol, and began opening a directory and the laptop to access the internet to find out where Maizono studies and when she and her band would go to any mall to hold a live event.

At Hope's Peak Academy, Naegi is seen doing some homework and is struggling well enough since the expectations within the academy is high, and Naegi wondered if he could really make a difference here, and now he is having a lot to worry about, such as the recent events where he puts on the red suit and accidentally flew, where he ended up at a dead end, being picked up by paramedics and almost got locked in a mental hospital until Kirigiri bailed him out, and now he has to keep a "partnership" with the Super High School-level Detective as Kirigiri is the only one who knew about Naegi possessing the red suit that seemingly gave him some "super powers".
"Kirigiri-san...would she really...?"
By then Maizono came and greeted him, seeing that he is doing some homework and asks if he wanted some help, though he tried to turn down the offer as he did not want to bother her, though she persisted in a friendly way just for her to get close to him, and she sees this as a chance due to being unable to spend time together during their junior high days, and Naegi, smitten by her charms, finally accepted and there the two talked and things went well.
"Naegi-kun!"
"Ah, Maizono-san..."
"You looked busy..."
"Eh-he-he..."
"Want me to help you?"
"Um...I can manage..."
"I'll assist you..."
"Er...okay..."
When a teacher arrived and classes are about to commence, both teens went to their seats and began submitting their works and soon an exercise is made where Naegi had to show his homework to his classmates in an oral recitation, and LUCKILY he managed to handle it well, and the others clapped their hands as Naegi impressed the teacher enough to give him extra points. After that, minutes passed by and classes ended and it was recess, and there Maizono invited Naegi to hang out with her at a mall, in which he accepted, and yet the other classmates began teasing the Luckster, in a friendly way, about getting to "date" Maizono.
"Wow, Naegi!"
"You really are LUCKY!"
"Yeah, you get to go on a date with an idol..."
"A popular idol!"
"Use that chance to get close to her!"
"And tell her you like her!"
"You'd be lucky if she becomes you girlfriend!"
"Go for it, Naegi!"
Naegi blushed and told the rest that he and Maizono are just hanging out because they are friends though the teasing continued until Ishimaru urged his classmates not to make fun of Naegi, and Naegi thanked Ishimaru for helping him and soon another teacher came and the next class is about to start, and Naegi started to bring out his book for the next subject, while excited that he would get to hang out with Maizono, which would happen in this coming Saturday.
As lunch break commences, the atmosphere soon changed as Ohwada began gathering his classmates and told them that he and his biker gang had a "sighting" of a red-colored UFO, in which Asahina and Hagakure joins in on the discussion as they too had seen one, though Togami refused to join in as he wanted to disbelieve that he too had a sighting about a flying object as he is in denial though the others are surprised to hear what their classmates are claiming.
"Eh? Really?"
"A flying guy?"
"Yeah...I saw it twice when I was at Sakura-chan's dojo..."
"Me too...I saw it along with my mom after doing some fortune reading..."
"Damn...then we saw it all...my gang even tried to chase after it but we lost it...even I couldn't believe my eyes after seeing it twice..."
"Then maybe we should bring a camera next time..."
"What if it's a UFO?"
"EH?"
Naegi mentally wished that his classmates stop talking about the flying man fearing that they might suspect him of being one because HE really is the one they partially scene and hoped that they wouldn't recognize him because he never had a mask to wear while Kirigiri glanced at Naegi, seeing him looking nervous as she knows why, and there she approached the teen and discreetly told him to meet her at her house in a few days as she want to discuss something, and instructed him to bring the red suit with him, which Naegi reluctantly agreed.
-x-
A few days later, it was Saturday, and the scene shifts to a mall in Tokyo where Naegi arrived and is waiting at the lobby, wondering what Maizono would look like if she were to don a casual attire, as he only saw her wear the academy uniform and her idol uniform, and he began to wonder if this would attract attention as Maizono would be seen by the public hanging out with an ordinary boy, in which he wondered if this would cause fan boys to get jealous.
"Maizono-san...I wonder what she would look like if she is wearing a casual attire..."
By then, Maizono arrived and is wearing a casual attire of a polo shirt, a short skirt and shoes, and she looked VERY attractive, in which Naegi was overwhelmed by her beauty and charm, almost making him speechless and she mentally smiled as this seemed to get his attention as she wanted him to get close to her as she is to him. There she greeted Naegi and apologized for coming late though he assured that it was okay.
"Hi, Naegi-kun..."
"Maizono-san...h-hello..."
"You looked good..."
"You too..."
"Sorry if I came late..."
"No...you're right on time..."
"So...shall we...?"
"Okay..."
After that, they went to several shops to window-shop while hanging around, and soon many of the shoppers began recognizing Maizono as the idol and they began approaching her for autographs, which she accepted while Naegi stood in a corner, smiling as he get to see her smile and her inner beauty, which slowly made him attracted to her. He was also happy to see her having a good time and didn't mind her giving away autographs to her fans, since she is an idol singer.
After that, the two teens began walking around the mall until they came across an arcade and both looked around, seeing a lot of arcade games being played by players until they came across a karaoke machine and Maizono offered Naegi that they have a "singing game" which the Luckster blushed since he never sang much, though she assured to him that he'll be fine and said she will get to sing first and drops a token and began selecting a song to sing, until she chose one much to Naegi's surprise, as she chose the song "Free And Dream" sung by Suara.
"Eh? But..."
"It's okay..."
"But I never sing much...I don't know if I..."
"Relax...it's only a karaoke...and we're here to have fun..."
"..."
"I'll go first...then you..."
"O-okay..."
"Then here I go..."
And soon the karaoke began playing and Maizono began singing, as people soon recognize her and they began listening to her singing, which attracted more people, mostly teens who saw her on TV and live shows.

The crowd clapped their hands and cheered on her and she was surprised to see that she attracted a lot of fans, and some of them asks for her autograph while boys wanted to shake hands with her, which she did without hesitation, and Naegi just stood there watching her, glad to see that she is having a good time, and by then Maizono asks Naegi to select a song and sing, which he is a bit shy thinking that he might sing horribly though she assured to him that as long as he is having fun, it would be fine, and Naegi took a deep breath as he inserted a token and the karaoke chose the song, which is "SURPRISE-DRIVE", sung by Mitsuru Mitsuoka, and Naegi heard of the song a few weeks before, and braces himself as he is ready to sing, and the crowd began listening as the karaoke machine began playing the song and Naegi began singing.
Ameagari Break Cloud, Sukima kara
Aozora ga Temaneki shiteru
Alright Soro soro Ikouka

Feelin' high, Mezameru youna

Hajimaru, Unmei ni wa
(keep chasin' forever)
Back Gear wa nai...
All we need is "DRIVE"
After the song was done, Naegi turned around, and he is surprised at the reaction of the crowd, impressed that the Luckster sang well and his singing voice was even close to the actual singer himself, and some even complemented Naegi for a good performance though he shyly assured that he is just an "ordinary boy", though Maizono complimented Naegi for his performance and offered that she might ask her talent manager to do a "scout" and if he hears Naegi's voice, he might see potential in the boy, surprising Naegi.
"Eh? Seriously?"
"Yup-yup...who knows...you might get LUCKY if my manager sees potential in you..."
"Er..."
"No need to be shy..."
"But...I don't know if I could..."
"You'll never know until you try..."
"..."
"Come on...you're blushing..."
The crowd was surprised to see Maizono talking to Naegi, and they wondered if Naegi is just a friend to Maizono or deeper than that, and some even took pictures of the two teens talking together, some sending it to sites like Twitter and Facebook, but then a pair of eyes is seen eyeing the two teens, though the aura of the watcher became hostile towards Naegi, seeing him as a "hindrance" and a "nuisance" to Maizono and the watcher began following the two teens who left the arcade as Naegi and Maizono went to Mc Donalds to have lunch.
There the two teens chatted as Maizono teases Naegi that he might become a "lucky singer" if her manager sees potential in him though he said that he doesn't see himself as a singer-potential and as the two teens dine and talked, customers around them, mostly teenagers, are surprised to see Maizono hanging out with an ordinary boy and took pictures of them in secret and posted it on internet sites, while the person following the teens was among the other crowd, and you can see the person's hand clenched while becoming increasingly hostile towards Naegi, deeming the teen "unfit" to be with Maizono, while the crowd talked among themselves regarding Naegi.
"Whoa..."
"Who's that boy?"
"Why is he with Maizono?"
"Is he her boyfriend?"
"He looked like a plain guy..."
"Yeah...too plain to be hanging out with a popular idol..."
"He must've got guts to go out with her..."
"I doubt he's just a "casual friend" to her..."
A few hours later, Naegi and Maizono left the mall after hanging out together and both parted ways while the person stalking the two teens vowed to make sure that the person will get Maizono to be his/her "due" while vowing to get at Naegi for CORRUPTING the Super High School-level Idol, and branded Naegi as a threat to Maizono's "well-being".
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter though not much action is shown here apart from Naegi and Maizono hanging out together at Tokyo Mall, and while they enjoyed themselves, they unintentionally attracted some people who suspect Maizono to be dating Naegi, and this in turn would cause some fan boys to get jealous at Naegi, while the would-be villain of this arc appeared though hidden while the person's gender has yet to be revealed.
Preview:
The next chapter will focus much on Maizono as an idol while coming under fire from the press for hanging out with a mere ordinary boy, while she gets in a confrontation with rival idols while the villain of this arc makes more appearances and started to stalk Maizono while sending death threats to Naegi for corrupting the Super High School-level Idol.
