Alive and back!

Chapter 11. Class 78th. Classes and plans.

Class 78th was a special class, not that it was better or worse than other classes in Hope Peak Academy, it was more related to the simple fact that surprisingly they were like a patch of fabric joined by other rags in a rather fitting and fun manner. So much variety, so many people, yet all of them had a thing in common and that was a sense of friendship, as you see, they all shared one friend in common.

That friend was the reason of the small situation going on as they were all trying to find the most efficient sitting arrangement. Turns out when everyone wants to sit around you, is kind of hard to please everyone in the class. Especially because the most efficient manner was Makoto surrounded by desks as if it were some kind of class trial.

So finally, it was decided such a thing would be hard to keep, plus their teacher said they needed to stay in order and avoid something as silly. In the end the usual pattern was made. But as their teacher felt that Makoto would be a distraction for the majority, he had to take a choice and sat him in the corner front, so only three people would be surrounding his desk and if they did try to be distracting, he would simply put them all in place rather quickly.

They were about to discuss when the teacher made a sitting arrangement in the board showing them numbers. With Makoto being number one. From one to sixteen, the numbers were raffled except for Makoto and the results came in. The numbers surrounding Makoto's desk were in the hands of Yasuhiro Hagakure, Byakuya Togami, and finally Mukuro Ikusaba.

"Can we" "No." The sisters were immediately discussing, Junko wanted to switch seats with her sister but she refused, on the guy's side they saw no reason to change, plus Hagakure felt Makoto was the kind of student who wasn't distracted, so he could ask him for stuff on the classes without much worry.

"Counting on you buddy!" Hagakure offered a thumbs up to his friend who albeit embarrassed returned the gesture. It was their first day of classes and yet it was starting in such a manner that really made him wonder what else could he go around expecting if this was the start.

Togami for his side felt eyes boring on his back when he seated as he was in front of Fukawa. For someone so apparently meek she had quite the stare when she wanted, for a moment, Togami, who wasn't the superstitious type, was wondering if by any chance he wasn't being cursed right then and there by the ultimate writer.

The teacher took the chance to explain to the students how classes worked, and how much time they would have around to dedicate to their own projects. "While you will be taking classes like in a normal school, the truth is a lot of the time you will be spending in the classroom after the basic classes is self-study for all of you to focus on your own endeavors. In order to keep the schedule in order and keep you all informed, normally we would vote for a class representative, but seeing the previous situation with the desks, I believe I can safely put Makoto Naegi name as representative and you will all listen right?" A general consensus was yes. Still, Leon Kuwata raised his hand demanding a vote. Their teacher nodded.

"Got it. Raise your hands whoever votes for Leon." Leon raised his own hand, and Naegi did too.

"One vote, you can't vote for yourself… now raise your hands whoever votes for Makoto Naegi." Everyone except for Leon and Makoto raised their hands, funnily enough, Fukawa raised both of her hands, earning a confused glance from some. Toko meanwhile was cursing herself as she didn't have much control over her left arm that seemingly had come to life.

In the end, it was decided by a vote of majority that Makoto Naegi was class 78th representative. Which brought another issue for the teacher…

"And what are you doing here? I have the names of all the students here and you are not from this class." The teacher looked at the lady in uniform who smiled. "My apologies, I feel there is a mistake, I am Kirumi Tojo, I am the maid of master Naegi." The teacher sighed, not even giving this situation any thought he brought out his phone.

"Chisa? Yeah, one of your kids is here, take them back will you?" He closed the phone and the maid pouted before looking at Makoto. "I am sorry master, it seems the powers that be are trying to keep us separate, worry not, as your maid I will always be at your call, be either by phone or." She offered him a bell she kept in the apron of her uniform. The small bell only made Makoto feel embarrassed while she smiled.

"One if you want to see me, two if is urgent. Three if you want to see me 'cause you miss me." She spoke the last part with a tone that indicated she was expecting him to use the bell. Chisa Yukizome came to appear with a pout on her face. "Kirumi!"

With the small theatrics finished, the class came to start.

On the class of Koichi Kizakura, the students were rather, well, interesting in their own little ways, especially with the little group of girls who were chatting. Kaede Akamatsu, Angie Yonaga, Himiko Yumeno and Maki Harukawa. The little quartet seemingly hitting really well. Chisa thought they were all deciding who would be their class representative, but the conversation was more around the line of what they were all doing later during break and trying to make a united front to see Makoto Naegi, meanwhile, Kirumi Tojo was with her eyes closed and focusing her ears on making sure she was hearing the bell.

Gonta and Kokichi were chatting between themselves too, but mostly cause Kokichi was planning something and needed Gonta to help with it. The gentle giant was listening intently seeing how he could help and offering pieces of advice on his plan of Kokichi, mostly making sure said plan didn't involve pranks.

Kaito Momota and K1-B0 were just in casual conversation, they had Miu Iruma with them as the three were discussing the casual systems of propulsions for a rocket. The young man wanted to reach the stars as soon as possible, no way he was waiting for college! On the more calm side of the class, Korekiyo, Rantaro, Ryoma, and Shuichi were mostly conversing of more casual manners. It was a big contrast compared to the more energetic side of Kaito and Miu.

Finally, Tenko Chabashira was conversing with Tsumugi Shirogane, both had previous experiences with the other so they were chatting amicably, albeit Shirogane was leading the conversation still teasing the girl about wanting to see their dear friend in some cute cosplays. "You aren't going to let me forget about it do you?" "No." She said with a smile making the other girl want to clash her head against her desk.

Class 77th was colorful in itself, some had already enjoyed plenty of meetings as was the case of the so-called, "besties" in terms of Sonia Nevermind, her friendship with Gundham was that. Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu was in the company of Peko Pekoyama, both of who were constantly in the company of Akane Owari who demanded a chance to exchange hands against Pekoyama, although Nekomaru kept her in place telling her not to make a fuss for the teacher. Chisa was entertained.

Hiyoko Saionji was having a hard time explaining to Ibuki Mioda that her music didn't go well with traditional dancing, but, they could try something. Mikan and Mahiru offered to help, one making sure neither got hurt and the other offering to take pictures of everything. Ryota Mitarai and Teruteru Hanamura were sitting together so they were trying to learn more from each other.

Kazuichi meanwhile was to his own devices, while the pair of Nagito Komaeda and Chiaki Nanami were getting to know each other, with the latter inviting the first one to play a game with her.

Chisa Yukizome could agree her class was interesting.

All the students were excited. For their academic lives were starting.

Short and to the point. A small intro for more to come! I set the game board, now I can play again!
