As Byakuya was in the doorway, Aoi, Toko, and Hiro were just there staring at him with blank and panicked stares seeing how he just heard the whole ordeal.

"You think that people like you would have more decency at the start of the morning, especially when they've held a title of being the first ever staff of this academy and they got their tongues silent being out on a limb as they say." Byakuya blankly said to himself, sighing and readjusting his glasses.

"Oh c'mon Togami it's not like it's a bad thing… right?" Hiro rebuked with horrible framing trying to make sense out of it.

"Yeeeeeeaaaa… I don't think this is going anywhere Hiro." Aoi deadpanned as she just sat on the couch just looking at the scenario.

"D-dont just use something like that against Byakuya you moron." Toko retorted back at Hiro as Byakuya cut in.

"Enough talk from the two of you." Byakuya sternly spoke, shutting the two up.

Aoi then decided to ask what brought Byakuya here.

"So uuuuuuhh what brings you here Byakuya?"

"For your information and I'm going to put it straight and short, I'm just here to discuss things with Naegi and Kirigiri so don't ask any further questions." Byakuya answered with quick and composed language with Hiro following.

"Well you didn't have to be so snobby about it man not that I'm saying anything or whatever about it ya'know."

"And I assume that is something minor from what you spoke on your tongue."Byakuya honed in on Hiro seeing how Byakuya's not the one letting snarky comments or insults fly by especially towards him.

"Uh yeah just sayin' hehehehe…ha." Hiro awkwardly laughed.

"Look do you three know where Naegi and Kirigi are or not?"

"Actually they went to the cafeteria to get coffee and stuff." Aoi said as Byakuya turned towards her before leaving.

"Then I'll see it to myself then goodbye."

"Wait dontchu wanna hang around with us for a little bit until they come back or something?"

"No and I have business to attend to so if you would I would advise that you leave me be."

"B-but Master T-

"I thought it was clear so you guys mind."

And with that Byakuya left without another word with Aoi, Toko, and Hiro left in the lounge.

"Man that guy's still snarky." Hiro said, breaking the silence.

"I mean this is Byakuya after all so it's not surprising to say the least." Aoi said as she sighed.

Toko on the other hand was just pondering to herself as she was still sitting on the couch.

"He'll come back around with them sooner or later, speaking of which how about we go back to the main topic?" Aoi said turning her attention towards Hiro said sweat-dropped at the implication of what Aoi is talking about.

"UUiieeeehhhhh yeeeaae…"


At the Cafeteria:

Makoto and Kyoko are now in the cafeteria with Makoto leaning against the bar back-side with his arms on and Kyoko sitting on one of the stools. The cafe here at Hope's Peak was unlike any cafe at any academy, it was like a mini food court sporting food from all over the world like cheeseburgers to macarons to enchiladas to ramen for the students. Makoto and Kyoko were currently at the cafeteria bar which was mainly for the staff and seniors if they have a permit or license to drink even if the drinks are non-alcoholic. Thankfully it was empty considering that it is early in the morning so the bar was only serving coffee and morning drinks. So anyway Makoto and Kyoko were having their conversation at the bar.

"Thanks for coming with me Kiri."

"It's the least I can do Naegi. Besides you did get run over by that Brant Goose getting all of that coffee spilled all over you." Kyoko said as she readjusted the stool's height.

"Yeah it did kinda hurt really bad when I fell and got all that coffee spilled on me."

"Are you holding up alright Naegi?"

"Yeah kinda I still feel a little bruised everywhere but I'll manage." Makoto said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Did the coffee burn you badly also?"

"Naw thankfully our drinks didn't fully land on me though I did get soaked a little by my drink."

"You talent still seems to be on your side as ever Naegi. Of course your luck made sure to have your drink land on you more than my latte that's for sure." Kyoko smiled.

"Yeah, guess my old self is still right behind me hehe."

Makoto was grateful that his talent was still on his side on one hand, the other however his talent wasn't exactly the greatest thing at the back of his mind. Even if he was the principal of the Hope's Peak, he still was in some denial after the whole incident of The Tragedy a long but also somewhat short time ago.

Though it feels like it's not really enough in some way

Kyoko on the other hand was showing some concern for Makoto's deep concentrating thoughts wondering if there's something bothering him. However, choosing not to alarm him she decided to go low for his sake.

"Well besides that of course, even if it's been a long time all of us have been through a lot together… All six of us still have each other, growing up and being great friends sharing memories… That is something that you should always be happy about too, Naegi."

"Yeah that's something to be happy about." Makoto said smiling as Kyoko grew a small one.

Though in honesty it wasn't entirely happy, following The Tragedy caused by Junko Enoshima hundreds to thousands to millions of people were ravaged by The Tragedy bringing the globe to complete destruction and war however to Junko Enoshima's perspective, it was a World of Despair. So much despair that not even Makoto and his friends weren't able to protect themselves from it, even though he survived some of his closest friends weren't so lucky. Although all looked lost, thankfully Makoto was able to plow through that with the help of believing in hope, hope so strong that people would be saved and begin a life worth taking to live.

"Though…" Makoto said, causing both smiles to drop.

"Even if we're alright and safe from despair and… Junko, I can't help but feel this hole in myself… Like my heart is still hurting a lot."

"Is it because of everyone?" Kyoko asked with a stern but sympathetic voice causing Makoto to grimace.

"Y-... Hmm… Yeah it's just that, ever since then I can't help but keep remembering all of our friends together with us. Sharing memories, laughing, having fun, it's just been so long even though it's been almost 2 to 3 years ago."

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen so many people just having fun with smiles on their faces."

"I take it, it's not just our friends, is it Kiri?"

When Makoto asked that Kyoko was silent as she slowly turned her head away from Makoto's eyes. Makoto, knowing he might've hit a target close to home, was gonna say something beforehand until Kyoko spoke.

"Honestly…"

Now Kyoko's voice sounded more sincere and so quiet that Makoto could only hear it. But that wasn't the issue as she started to talk.

"It's been a long time since I was able to smile almost as if it was normal again. Having to smile even for a day is so rare for me, smiling like I'm a normal person again with the people I grew up with."

Makoto then gave Kyoko a console look to her knowing just how much she experienced during the years she grew up until now before looking at the ground.

"I get how you feel, wanting to smile, wanting to be happy, wanting to be free… wanting to love people who you care about…"

Between Makoto and Kyoko, the two have been really close to each other ever since after The Tragedy or moreover even before it began. Makoto was your usual average guy but is friendly and kind and wanting to be friends and help those while Kyoko was quiet and collective but was also distant and obsolete when it comes to normal things like friends and having fun. Nonetheless between the two, Makoto was one of the few people to ever get to know Kyoko properly and fully, opening up herself and being something that Kyoko rarely had… A friend who is selfless and someone she can love back again.

Kyoko then turned her head back towards Makoto as he continued to talk and then lifted his head towards her.

"Whatever it is that's hurting you, know that I'll be there for you even if I'm not, promise okay." Makoto said with assertive confidence as Kyoko slowly but surely gave a genuine smile and a noticeable blush.

"You really are amazing aren't you Naegi."

Just then…

"Well it seems you two have been close as ever."

Makoto noticeably jumped a little while Kyoko had her iris shrunk a little at the sudden voice. Then footsteps were heard as Byakuya came into the play as he walked towards the two contemplating their mutual love for each other.

"Oh Byakuya hey! How's it going?" Makoto stuttered as he tried composing himself again.

"Please enough with this chit-chat activity and quit it with the light-hearted talking. I'm just here to discuss the papers and that'll be it for me as I have my own matters to attend to." Byakuya blankly spoke back, going to the main topic of his appearance.

"Oh uh okay then."

"Well it seems you're a harmless contemptuous person as ever." Kyoko said with a smirk hiding her previous features.

Byakuya hearing that just glared his eyes at her as he started to stand in front of Makoto and Kyoko.

"Tch… Please, as if you would say the same to yourself before." Byakuya rebuked.

"Hey guys let's not get too conflicted in the morning alright we did agree on talking about this so let's just start the day off nice and slow." Makoto said breaking up the growing tensions only for Byakuya to renounce.

"Of course you can ignore the fact of the little stunt you all pulled earlier when you got here Naegi."

Makoto hearing that blushed a little bit out of embarrassment but also some shock.

"So I guess you know about the accident earlier huh?"

"Although it wasn't obvious to me when I arrived I noticed the janitors cleaning up the academy which was filled with feathers and fur. And of course I'd figured Hagakure had something to do with it as always."

"Yeah, guess we've all assumed Hiro would do something like that." Makoto said with a smile.

"That is true considering that we've been sticking together ever since everything that's happened." Kyoko surmised.

Ever since everything that's happened, Makoto, Kyoko, Aoi, Toko, Yasuhiro, and to an extent Byakuya have been together for more than what seemed like a lifetime. Although Byakuya wasn't often present due to him managing his family's legacy and his business operations, he still had some compassion in him putting his family's name up top and helping the others out in the slightest. Over time the six have been together working, helping, and knowing each other more which further cemented their somewhat life-long friendship with each other.

"You got that right Kiri, it's nice to see our friendship grow, giving us chances to know each other more." Makoto said as Byakuya sighed.

"While of course I do hate cooperating and spending my important time with you on a somewhat daily basis, it is fitting to have ties to more people you can fully trust."

"Seems you're compassionate about friends as ever." Kyoko grinned.

"Please enough with this talk. Let's just go over the papers shall we?" Byakuya sighed as he's wasting some time.

"Yeah I guess we should start now." Makoto said removing his arms off the counter.

Then a few moments later, a rather tall, robust but scrawny like in appearance bartender with golden luxurious hair and silver pins on his vest came in from the room behind the counter. He was a little bit taller than Byakuya but he had a subtle graceful and chivalrous aura around him.

"Well if it isn't Mr. Naegi, Ms. Kirigi, and Mr. Togami, good morning to you." The bartender greeted.

"Hello Cruhutsu." Kyoko said.

"Morning." Was all Byakuya said.

"Hey Cruhutsu, morning to you. Looks like your record of the first one out of your class here is still going strong." Makoto greeted the bartender now named Cruhutsu.

"Well of course Mr. Naegi, it is an honor to wake up first thing in the morning to come to the renowned Hope's Peak Academy to serve and honor everyone who works here, especially my colleagues." Cruhutsu explained with compassion and heart.

This well-mannered and composed bartender here is Cruhutsu Nokadira otherwise known as the Ultimate Bartender who is from what Makoto said is in the same class as Dilian, Anaturi, Heikara, and Koyuza. During his childhood, his dad believe it or not was a casino manager, but not just any casino, his dad was the manager of the most popular casino in Japan by the name of Daiyaro Tokyo Casino. His mom on the other hand is a part-timer in the office department though she does have quite an interest in decorating and designing beautiful light installations. In his teen years he would often help his dad around his casino often tending the bar which in return sparked something within him, not only was he good at helping customers out with their drinks he was like a natural veteran when it came to service dishing out new ways and ideas of drawing customers in for his dad's casino, from making bizarre and exciting new drinks to cleaning and stocking bars in less than a minute or less.

Currently he attends Hope's Peak but he's also a part-timer here at the academy's personal bar for the higher-ups. Of course when it comes to serving the students he does make sure they're licensed or permitted to have drinks, even non-alcoholic ones, though on the plus side he does serve caffeine-related drinks so that wasn't anything noticeable. Although in some cases, when it comes to a certain fortune teller he revolves it up a peg for reasons under Makoto's regards.

"Nice words there Cruhutsu, keep showing your dedication and you'll continue to live your life to the fullest for sure." Makoto strongly said.

"And I certainly will Mr. Naegi." Cruhutsu responded with a gleaming smile much to Byakuya's nose pinch.

"Speaking of which, do you mind if I have an iced coffee Cruhutsu?" Makoto asked getting to the drinking point.

"Well of course Mr. Naegi, and I suppose you'd like something as well Ms. Kirigiri?"

"Indeed I do Cruhutsu, I'd like a mint latte please." Kyoko responded as he gave a thumbs up before asking Byakuya.

"Byakuya?"

"I suppose some coffee will be fine, regarding the fact that I will be here for a while longer than I expected." Byakuya reluctantly applied.

"The usual suggestion of black coffee of course. Very well I'll have your drinks up in a few minutes less than 10." Cruhutsu said taking the orders on his notepad he whooped out as he got the drinks in process.

"Now that that's settled, I believe that we have some work to discuss about isn't that right?" Byakuya said wanting to get back to the main subject at hand as Makoto answered for him.

"Ok ok Byakuya we'll get on to the main subject then. So how did it go with expenses and fees from the papers?"


Back at the Lounge:

"Look Hiro I mean I get that you are the closest to the delinquents more so even towards Hokoro, Bendai, and Typhonen but still though!" Aoi rebuked as Aoi, Hiro, and Toko were now talking about Hiro's stunt more in-depth.

"C'mon Hina it's the least I can do for them and for students as a whole ya know!" Hiro protested.

"Yeah sure it's not like you want to make a reputation of destroying Hope's Peak Academy right of t-the bat." Toko rhetorically said.

"Hey I'll make sure that my status quo at Hope's Peak Academy will go up to the sky like an awesome firework. You can count on that!"

"yeah that's gonna backfire real quickly…" Aoi mumbled looking away before speaking.

"Anyways can you just not do anything studid or in worse case dangerous for the sake of us and to a more extent the school please Hiro."

"Relax you guys I got this cause there's nothing to go on about cause I know how to take care of everything."

"That's literally what concerns us." Aoi and Toko unintentionally thought simultaneously.

Then immediately the doors bursted and slammed wide open, scaring Toko into jumping and hiding behind the couch but only startling Aoi and Hiro.

Turning their attention towards the door we see a girl standing in the doorway who looked 20. She also had black hair, brown-rimmed glasses, and a ring pendant. She also wore a light grey sweater with long sleeves and vertical black lines, a grey suit jacket with long sleeves and pockets, dark blue button up skirt, tights, and grey boots. Either way appearance or situation this girl's name is Yoruko Kabuya, and easy enough for herself she's also a teacher here at Hope's Peak and for quite a while at that too. The only thing that stood out was her glaring at Hiro also including the fact that she was PISSED off, needless to say we can all picture what Hiro is looking like right now.

"Ee-eeehhh-uuuuhh… hey… Yoruko….?" Hiro panickingly stuttered as his eyes were wide open as he was already sweating a whole lot.

On the sidelines Aoi was biting her lips as she looked at Hiro and Yoruko with the fortune teller panicking and getting stabbed with fear as he looked at Yoruko. She already knew the second she saw Yoruko Hiro was gonna get his butt kicked outta the window in less than a minute. Toko on the other hand was just barely showing her head over the couch with her usual terrified expression. From the looks of it Yoruko got information on what happened earlier so she decided to berate Hiro for it or she'd already assume Hiro did something out of it or something.

"Well he's dead." Aoi deadpanningly thought before Yoruko started going in on him.

"HAGAKURE YOU STUPID HALF-TWIT!" Yoruko shouted at the top of her lungs as she darted and rammed into Hiro pinning him off the beanbag and onto the floor as he shouted in sheer terror.

"DDDAAAAAAAAAHHH IT WASN'T MY FAULT I SWEAR YORUKO!"

"OH SHUT UP I ALREADY KNOW IT WAS YOU!"

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"

"ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I SAW HOKORO, BENDAI, AND TYPHONEN GET A LITTLE CHAT WITH MAKOTO AND KYOKO A WHILE BACK!"

"what… they got interrogated too…" Hiro muttered only for Yoruko get set her point by headlocking his head.

"SO YOU ADMIT WHAT YOU DID HAPPENED THIS MORNING! I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO SAY THAT AFTER THE OTHER TIMES YOU DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

"WHAT NO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG I SWEAR I'M INNOCENT!"

"LIKEWISE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU STUPID EXCUSE FOR A MAN!"

"WHY'D YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT PERSONAL?!"

Now Aoi was starting to think she should jump in and save Hiro but on the other hand the whole thing was looking down right hilarious to her which she didn't know whether it should be a good or bad thing.

"Guys don't just stand there help me!"

"W-what do you want us to do!? J-just go in and g-get ourselves get mutilated b-by injuries!?" Toko finally and scarredly asked as she was still hiding behind the couch.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking you guys to do!"

"Don't just think I'm letting you off yet, Hagakure."

"Ah wait I didn't mean it like that jus- guh guys don't just stand there and look do something!"

"Like what? W-watch a hostess show you up." Toko said, sweating and unsure of doing anything.

For those of you who have no idea what's going on, Yoruko as before has been a teacher at Hope's Peak but that's not all. Some teachers here at Hope's Peak Academy are actually former ultimates like Yoruko Kabuya who is actually the Ultimate Hostess who tends to get real antsy and fiery when she gets narcissistic about her talent to an extent along with her peeving personality.

"Alright alright we'll help you out, Yoruko you can still manhandling him now." Aoi said as she decided to help Hiro out with Toko reluctantly.

"Fine if you insist but I'm not letting you get out of my sight yet HAGAKURE." Yoruko stated as she unhandled Hiro getting off and letting him be able to get some space and some air.

"HAAAH FINALLY! Holy cow my brain was gonna fire and explode cursing my lungs!" Hiro breathed in huge amounts of oxygen.

"Geez you really are hopeless sometimes aren't you Hiro." Aoi sighed.

"Ah guys c'mon I ain't giving up that easily okay!" Hiro retorted.

"Just shut up already you twit." Yoruko sneered at Hiro, shutting him up in fear.

"Why'd you have to be so ruthless on me all the time!?" Hiro complained as Yoruko just seethed.

"BECAUSE you're always the one who causes the most stupidest accidents Hagakure."

"That or maybe it's just because you're a little too carefree Hiro." Aoi said as Hiro sagged.

"More like freaking stupid." Toko remarked.

"Yeah don't act like you're not one of the people who cause accidents everyday Toko." Aoi reminded resulting Toko shutting up sweat dropping.

"Ah c'mon guys you gotta loosen up a little ya know!"

"Will you just shut up for a second Hagakure. Look, can we just have a normal day for once tomorrow, you already screwed up this morning." Yoruko interrupted.

"Okay yeah I did kinda screw the morning up a little but it wasn- okay I'll stop." Hiro said before shutting up from Yoruko's stare.

"C-can we move on now or s-something?" Toko spoke as she slowly got up from the couch.

"Yeah I'm getting too tired of this right now let's just talk about it later." Aoi agreed, thinking of the same thing.

"Fine but I'm dealing with you later Hagakure." Yoruko insisted but still stated that she and Hiro are gonna chat later with Hiro sweating.

"This is gonna be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day…" Aoi sighed both annoyed and tired.

Likewise, you can't have a normal morning here at Hope's Peak.


Somewhere Else:

"Pffffff… Dude the heck's Shobai at, he literally missed the starting period." Dillian asked as he was sitting on his desk.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Heikara responded doing the same thing but with his arms on his knees with bandages covering his left eye.

"I'm pretty sure he's talking with Hiro or something." Anaturi suggested sitting on her chair walkway forward as she munched on a Meiji chocolate bar.

"Oh yeah sure, it's not like he's trying to cover up Hiro's STUPID ROUTINE THIS MORNING!" Heikara shouted in annoyance cause y'know.

"Relax Heikara it wasn't that bad." Dillian said to Heikara, making him more annoyed close to angry.

"Will you just shut up Dillian!" Heikara shouted in frustration as Dillian smirked while Anaturi giggled.

"Alright alright dude just relax yourself alright."

"Man freaking hell." Heikara sighed.

"Yaw lucky that the injuries caused boy that fox were minor Heikara, uhthahwoise it would've been real nahsty." Koyuza reminded as she stood against her desk.

"Pff yeah whatever."

"Okay ignoring the whole charade that Hiro started today, I feel like Shobai's running more late than usual is he?" Anaturi asked.

"Not really he's usually here before 12." Dillian remarked.

A little while later, Dillian, Anaturi, Heikara, and some of their friends in their class were waiting for their teacher Shobai Hashimoto. It was after the starting period was over and some of the students were out or in depending on what they did. Okay so here at Hope's Peak, Makoto and some professional personnel with Byakuya's help have decided to tweek Hope's Peak Academy a bit timewise and student-wise more differently than the previous Hope's Peak. Given how most high schools or academies or others relating to Hope's Peak in Japan are more than 50 minutes, Makoto decided to have the academy run a starting period as a way to make sure every student attending was present and then have 6 periods which have the option of attending giving a marginal grasp of educational work. After the starting period is finished, the academy would have a skip-off segment lasting the whole day. This in result lets the students talent or not, have the time to relax, practice what they're good at, and other stuff you'd would normally do.

Speaking of which, since there are those who have talents and those who don't Makoto declared to have Hope's Peak academy have all students attend the main course excluding the Reserve course for those talentless attending Hopes Peak with payment so that way there is less conflict within the academy's main purpose of leading future lives. Normally the students with ultimates would get treatment like this excluding the talentless students. But since Makoto knows that everyone has something great in them he decided to let everyone have this treatment, but also of course since those talentless would get the treatment he, Byakuya, the other personnel decided to have designated work for them or in short terms in a different way regular work for the talentless students in case. However of course that does go for the ultimates also technically because as long as they perfect their talents and skills then they'll be alright. So full swing it's pretty much almost like the original Hope's Peak, students at Hope's Peak can skip school but for those talentless will have regular work in case anything bad goes wrong and ultimates doing their best at what they exceed at. Fortunately for Dillian's class they were all ultimates since matter of fact, their class is the first ever class to be established since Hope's Peak was created mostly because their class was originally a kind of test-drive class until becoming an official one, technically….

"But doesn't Shobai come out a little later after 12 rarely, because I mean Shobai is the only person we know who can show up at anytime." A rather modest and fiddly voice asked, coming from one of Dillian's classmates.

"Oh don't be such a worry-sport Eridoka, you worry too much which brings down the color of pink and red and cream and malachite and electric blue and lavender and marigold and aqua and -

"Oh-kai we geh' it Ibakana yah don't hahfta be sao chahtteray aw whatevah already." Koyuza said getting a bit annoyed at her friend Ibakana.

For the two girls who talked, the first girl Ibakana said to goes by the name of Eridoka Matsuo who is the Ultimate Sketcher.

Growing up, Eridoka is described as your usual kind of conspicuous artist but is really intelligent and can be a bit truthful for someone like her. Eridoka can be seen sporting a short white overall dress with a cute boba drink character on, caramel hair, pink shirt, and gray cynllio boots. Normally Eridoka is usually abrasive when it comes to telling her opinions, but in all honesty she's only being truthful as she tends to be straight-forward. For her talent, due to her social awkwardness she obviously had difficulty with her words so Eridoka decided to write out some of her words or a sentence or two to make it less difficult for her. What she didn't realize was that by also writing, she became more composed and coordinated with her drawing too, making beautiful sketches that would cost around 200685.00 yen which can be conveyed into 1500 dollars right there. By sketching and writing, she became more confident due to her ability to do great things thanks to her skillful handwork, of course she is still the klutzy doof that she is today but she's holding herself up once more.

For the second girl, Ibakana Cukoo is her name and she's the Ultimate Colorist. Ibakana here wears a tank-top of a whole array of colors (not listing them let your imagination go wild boiz), a white t-shirt underneath the tank-top, colorful waved short hair, reflected jeans with the right side cut out down to her knee, neon sneakers, and futuristic LED glasses. Moving on to her talent, although her talent being the Ultimate Colorist doesn't look much, she's a renowned expert in the world of color as she's been able to reformat movies and film to any color every frame and every second. She's also received sky-rocketing praise from industries and companies that have had classic pieces of entertain turn from black and white to literal modern-like movies thanks to her expertise. Not only that, but she's also been a real master at teaching and showing the beautiful arts that she has made portraying the most colorful and surreal pieces of colorful-riffic art anyone has ever seen. So colorful that she's even been given the approval of coloring Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing area into a mural of Japan in amazing neon color. This of course can reflect that she's the most energetic and most wacky person in Class 1, often spouting out so much stuff that no one doesn't know what topic to bring up. She's also really laughable and would often say any color she knows to format the situation she experiences too, much to her mom and dad's amusing tolerance when she was young. Since her childhood, she's always been fascinated by the various colors of life and the whole world as her and her family would go out on adventures in Osaka and other parts of the world to witness color all around her giving her the inspiration of even inventing new colors someday.

"Anyways does anyone know when Cruhustu's coming back in?" Anaturi asked.

"Prrrrr-etty sure he'll be back once lunch period starts or something." Ibakana answered.

"Well since the rest of us are out now Ima just slack off for a while." Heikara said as he pulled up the desk on his right and laid back putting on his signature paintball goggles.

"Hey you should at least be aware of where you're at Heikara." Eridoka stated seeing how Heikara was being reckless with the desks.

"What's it to you sketch squick?" Heikara mildly asked hostiley.

"Hey I'm just being concerned you don't have to be mean." Eridoka blankly but calmly stated.

"Okay besides all that, how about we just go chill for the rest of the time-being then eh?" Dillian said.

"Yeah it's still the morning and I'm not up for this yet ." Eridoka agreed.

"What a rush. I just want some peace and quiet for once in the morning." Heikara seethed.

"Well it's not like you can just waltz out of the school and ditch can ya, oh wait you can! 5 Glorious Golden Buttermilk Stars for yours truly!" Ibakana announced with pride doing a victorious pose.

"Eeeeuuh yeah no I'm pretty sure that's not how that works towards you Ibakana." Eridoka stated sweat-dropping.

"Well better relax than nothing then." Dillian said as he laid back with his arms supporting onto the desk behind.

Then a moment later the door to the classroom on the left opened with a guy standing in the doorway. Dillian immediately noticed and looked to see another classmate of his who was actually his best friend.

"Hey Luke what sup dude!" Dillian shouted as he got off the desk and walked towards Luke as they did a very distinct handshake bumping fists leading to vertically pounding their fists then making hand guns shooting then spinning around and then high-fiving each other opposite hands before interlocking and body slamming each other which was something really cool the others loved to see.

"Haha wassup man, you guys just lying around?" Luke asked as the two let go, closing the door, and sat on the desk next to Dillian.

"From the way everything looks yayh I guess yah could sie that." Koyuza said.

This dude's Luke Prescatt or Dillian's best friend, sporting a white t-shirt, a blue jock jacket with the letter A in bold, grey jeans, and all-around white sneakers. That's literally it that's all there is to him cause Luke here is actually one of the only students in Class 1 that's a normal regular person. For those of you wondering how Luke made it into Class 1 it was thanks to Makoto, since Dillian was picked as the 19th student for Class 1 Makoto needed one more so Dillian made the suggestion of having his best friend join in too. Seeing this can be a good thing with more foreigners to construct Hopes Peak's diversity, Makoto happily took up the suggestion and had Luke enrolled at Hopes Peak. But before that, Dillian and Luke both met each other in elementary at 1st Grade at their school in America, and ever since 1st Grade Dillian and Luke have been best friends for as long as they remember. However for Luke he is great at one particular thing and that's comedy, growing up Dillian and Luke would hang out nearly all day every day every year doing really stupid and funny stuff, so often that Luke started to develop a more comedic funny side leading to Luke making jokes, stunts, acts, and other funny and amusing things people can laugh at.

"Man two-thirds of an hour in and we got saggy-mcfarts unleashing the furry brigade on young people Imma right?" Luke joked in which Koyuza and Ibakana started laughing like crazy with Heikara choking on some air.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OH MY GOD THAT IS SO FREAKING FUNNY LUKE." Ibakana shouted hugging her stomach.

"Yayh that is one of the best things Oy've heard yet today Luke." Koyuza said laughing off also.

"Okay now that made my morning way better hehe." Heikara snickered.

"Well for you guys anyway." Eridoka blankly said seeing the humor too explicit to laugh at in the morning.

"Oh c'mon Eridoka you hafta admit it's kinda funny" Anaturi said with an amused face giggling a bit.

"Got a lot of broken humor that's what you're good at." Dillian sarcastically commented in which Luke refuted.

"Aha…ha ha… ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah shut up."

Then the doors opened again revealing none other than some random grey frazzled hair guy in a collared suit jacket, tie, and black shoes. Yeah no it was just their teacher Shobai Hasimoto who looked like he was about to pass out with bagged eyes.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late." Shobai said drowsingly.

"Wassup teach!" Luke shouted.

"HEYO HASIMOTO!" Ibakana shouted, waving her left arm.

"Good morning." Eridoka greeted throwing her concern aside.

"I assume you all acted nicely this morning."

"You know us Shobai, ramming the school day in the freaking rear and shoving light goldenrod light across the morning!" Ibakana shouted with her usual smile.

"That… mostly kinda runs up to what's happened so far as of today." Eridoka blankly with a weird grin.

"For the record I already got the jump on what Hiro and Toko did earlier but I ain't complaining seeing how normal that's been." Shobai stated neutrally compared to him early in the morning.

"Besides normal people who didn't expect anything weirder than today, that's one thing to be expected of I guess." Eridoka confusingly said.

"I'm kinda surprised that we're getting used to this stuff ever since all of us enrolled here with bright lemon yellow auras." Ibakana commented.

"Not surprising to me since literally every day is just weird all in one." Luke said.

"Well to you two anyway since you've lived your whole lives in America which is weird from what I've heard." Eridoka referred to Dillian and Luke.

"You ain't wrong though in some standards." Dillian replied.

"Second to none America at a standard point is more normal-weird dude." Luke added.

"Mostly on that level."

"You guys be going off all kinds of scenarios of any kind to taffy embarrassment to diamond clear confusion!" Ibakana bursted with a smile.

"Not the kind of description to correlate with Ibakana. Though almost anything can happen." Eridoka said.

"Going on from that, I've heard that you got paid by Kyoko to land a knuckle sandwich on Hiro Heikara." Shobai said as Heikara just shifted his head.

"Yeah so what? The guy was getting on my freaking nerves so I just kicked his ass in." Heikara replied with an annoyed tone.

"With Kyoko paying you extra?" Shobai added, expecting a reaction from Heikara as he sat down.

"Hey I'll have you know that she paid a really hefty price ok." Heikara refuted casually.

"How much did Kyoko pay you?" Anaturi asked.

"From the stash she paid me about 25,000 yen." Heikara blankly answered, digging out the cash Kyoko paid which surprisingly surprised everyone present minus Dillian, Luke, and Shobai.

"THAT MUCH!? WOW I didn't know Kyoko was crimson red brick high with cashing money!" Ibakana whirled her expressions.

"Color girl it ain't that surprising since it would just be like spending 5 dollars since she be getting paid a lot man." Luke casually commented.

Yeah cuz Makoto, Kyoko, and the others who work at Hopes Peak do get paid over 100,000 yen a month thanks to the academy's funding pr budget or something like that.

"I'm more concerned about why Kyoko paid you to beat up Yasuhiro Heikara!" Eridoka questioned.

"Did yah and Kyoko myke a dayl aw somethin?" Koyuza then asked.

"Yeah well uuh she kinda charged more or something if I went all out on him." Heikara admitted.

"Is paying really that necessary though?" Eridoka questioned with a faltering look.

"Yeah I don't see anything in paying you to gain something out of it." Anaturi surmised.

"Look honestly she only paid me just so that I go all in on Hiro plus we're not technically allowed to go in on the higher-ups." Heikara truthfully spoke rubbing the back of his head.

"You're not wrong there Heikara, but going off on that I might as well have Kyoko strike a deal with me then." Shobai recommended himself much to the amusement.

"See and you wonder why you and Yasuhiro are often referred to as currentic con-artists." Heikara blankly stated.

"Heikara's got a point which obviously reverts to a complete fact Shobai." Eridoka commented.

"Hey just because I have a unique talent in the case of being a broker doesn't make me an automatic con-artist, besides Yasuhiro's more than just a con-artist." Shobai casually refuted.

"I mean regardlessly considering the fact that he spent all his money on useless stuff, he is still trusting his friends all the way." Anaturi said.

"More like useless crud and debt if you ask me." Luke said with a smirk.

"Regardless, you're not wrong though." Shobai earnestly replied.

"But seriously you better not take this chance for granted Heikara." Eridoka reminded.

"Hey it's win-win for me so I don't care." Heikara insisted.

"More like asking too much if you ask me." Luke whispered.

"Moving on from that Hiro will probably be fine for the most part / if yoruko doesn't kick his ass again that is." Shobai spoke and then muttered the second half.

"Alright so for today right now I need you guys to go and get the rest of your classmates since I got something you guys are gonna love."

"For what?" Luke questioned with peaked interest.

"I'll tell you guys once you go and find the rest of the class alright. While you're doing that I'm gonna get something from the lounge so I'll be right back." Shobai explained as he went out.

"Alright fine we'll go find the others c'mon guys." Dillian agreed on as he got off his desk.

"Seriously I just got nice and relaxed and ya want me to go up already." Heikara complained.

"Just come on and get going already, you paint bucket." Eridoka spoke as she left only for Heikara to get annoyed.

"HEY WHO YOU CALLIN' A PAINT CAN YOU STUPID FU— BAMMM

And just like that Heikara rammed his face and the desk straight to the floor as soon as he got up.

"Pain' Bucket." Koyuza snickered as she joined after Eridoka along with Ibakan who did the same.

"YEAH RAINBOW PAINT BUCKET!"

"Here lemme help you out man." Luke said as he dragged a groaning Heikara by his leg and outta the classroom.

"Heikara's really gonna use you in target practice dude." Dillian laughed as Luke smiled.

"Relax I'll be fine dude, the two of us have been through worst." Luke assured as he dragged Heikara out.

Hearing that, Dillian smiled recalling how much Luke and him did so when they were younger. Before Dillian exited, Anaturi spoke gaining his attention.

"Luke's a really great friend, isn't he Dillian."

"It's better than nothing, he's pretty much like a clone of me in the randomest way I guess." Dillian said as he chuckled at his own comment.

As Anaturi giggled, she gave a nice smile that would always make Dillian smile back.

"I like that, something like that in someone. It really feels great doesn't it."

"Yeah, guess it does huh?"

"Hey guys you coming or what?" Luke called out.

"We're coming dude relax!" Dillian called back as they went out.

As Dillian and Anaturi stepped out of the doorway and into the hall. Dillian stopped gaining Anaturi's attention.

"Is something wrong Dillian?"

Dillian then turned to her and raised his hand making a fist. Looking at him, Anaturi smiled and with her own fist the two made a fist bump with genuine smiles.

"Pyyyyooooooossh-ssSHA BAM haha!" Dillian laughed.

"Haha, not bad American Boy." Anaturi smirked.

Just standing out and doing stuff like friends, Dillian and Anaturi laughed their faces off.
