'My impurest heart for you'

Amayas P.O.V

I woke up that morning with a bad feeling about the day ahead. I got dressed and left a few minutes after my two siblings.

On the way I met up with Chiaki and Hajime which ended up with us talking about which video games we all enjoyed the most. Overall, we got along quite well with each other and agreed to meet up at lunch to hang out more.

Chiaki and I rushed to class together and we're surprised to see Nekomaru and Aka new fighting each other with the classroom in complete ruins. The other students were sitting quietly, as though it was a normal thing. Even Chiaki calmly walked over to her seat and sat down, taking out her games console and playing a strange murder mystery game that she had mentioned earlier. I decided to follow her example.

Not much later, a P.E. teacher rushed into the classroom but not much later she ended up fainting.

Eventually, Yukizome-sensei rushed into the room and confronted them.

"Nidai, destruction of the classroom is a matter of serious concern," she exclaimed as she ran up to said boy/man.

"What did you say?! We're training in realistic combat conditions!," he shouted back.

"Well, it's okay then," Yukizome-sensei replied, causing me to sweat drop.

"It's okay?" I heard my brother mutter from the other side of the room.

"Such is the fate of this globe, is it?" A guy named Gundham replied.

"Damn it!," Akane cursed, "how am I supposed to beat him?"

"Would you like me to give you something nice?," the perverted chef asked her. "I worked on this with the Ultimate Pharmacist, our upper-class man," he continued, which interested me, "If you drink this special soup..."

"That smells delicious, thankyou," Akane thanked before chugging down the full bottle. All of a sudden her muscles began to grow and she started acting like a completely different person.

I glanced over at Nekomaru and noticed his expression turn into one of complete shock.

Souda shouted something but I was too shocked to listen and instead zoned out, trying to figure how some soup could enhance the body so much.

Nekomaru and Akane started fighting again but I didn't pay much attention, instead I went through a to do list in my head.

"If worst comes to worst..." Peko starts.

"Hey I told you not to do that," Fuyuhiko cuts her off. I guess Peko wants to protect Fuyuhiko again, that's normal.

I notice Chiaki stand up and leave the room. Curious, I decide to follow her.

"Did you two run away too?" Mitarai, who was sitting in the hallway animating, asks as we walk out.

"Everyone's crazy," Chiaki answered. "They don't come together as a group at all."

"I have too agree with that statement," I agreed as I stood behind her.

"Well, people like us don't need to group together anyway," Mitarai stated, still animating. "If you have talent, your future is perfect. We're all a bunch of elite kids, gathered from across the world, with that as our motto. As long as we graduate, we're set for life. We don't need to unite, we have no need for it. No need to make friends at all."

"Either way, my gaming talent won't earn me any friends," Chiaki said, going back to her game. I'll admit, what she said hurt, but what Mitarai said was right. I mean, if they knew I was an assassin, I doubt anyone would even want to go near me, much less be my friend.

"That's not right!," Chisa exclaimed as she suddenly popped up, causing me to jump. She grabbed Chiaki's shoulders making them face each other before continuing, "You shouldn't just say you can't make friends!"

"Sensei..."

"You're can't make friends through gaming? The games you love are so worthless?" Chisa asked.

"They are not!," Chiaki retaliated, before an expression of realisation struck her face and Chisa smiled.

"If games are fun to play by yourself, they'll be even more fun to play with everyone."

"Play with everyone...?" Chiaki asked in confusion.

After that I ended up leaving. I headed towards the fountain with my lunch and sat down to eat. I was just about to open my lunch box when my phone started ringing, causing me to jumped.

I picked up the phone and was surprised to see the caller ID. I quickly answered the call and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello Kyosuke, it's been a while," I said before placing some sushi in my mouth.

"Hi, I heard you recently transferred into Hopes Peak, congratulations on being accepted," he replied.

"Thanks, but I'm guessing that's not the reason you called me," I said, suspicious as to why he would call me after so long.

"You're right, I'm assuming since Chisa hasn't recognised you that you're in disguise, but never mind that for now. I want you to find out what is going on at that school. Many things are changing and I want to know why, they're hiding something and I need to know what. Can you do that" he asked.

"I guess I still owe you and I probably don't have much of a choice so... I'll do it on the condition that I don't risk blowing my cover," I answered while eating more sushi.

"That's fine. Call me if you find anything, I have to go now, later." The call cut off before I had the chance to say anything else.

I sighed before placing my phone in my pocket and quickly finish off my lunch then head back to class.

3rd P.O.V

"The deadline is coming up, do you know your answer yet?" The old man asked.

"No, not yet..." the dark haired reserve course student answered.

"I see. As an advisor to the school I shouldn't be saying this, but I'm not particularly in favour of this project," the old man replied.

"Right..." the boy muttered silently.

"Hope comes from people acting like people. If you want to, you can decline," the man said.

"But my family doesn't have enough money for the school fees," the boy admitted.

"You could always return to your former high school," the man assured.

"That isn't..."

"You can live on as yourself. Do not fear normalcy"

Amayas P.O.V

"Nanami, the enemy forces are nearly defeated," Akane exclaimed as she pressed multiple buttons on the blue controller.

Chiaki had brought in some video games for us all to play and now everyone was crowded around the tv screen as she, Akane, Nekomaru and Gundham player two against the other two.

I noticed Chisa, I mean Yukizome-sensei enter the room but I was too focused on the game to pay much attention to her. While some of the others explained what was happening, I cheered on Nanami and Akane as they won the game.

"Sensei, you can make friends with games."

We continued to play games for most of the day. I managed to win a few times, when I wasn't facing Chiaki of course. Overall, everyone enjoyed it. At the time, I expected it to stay like that forever. I never expected the future incident to occur. At the time, I thought that we could all be friends and it would stay that way, but I was wrong.

"You all must be hungry!" Teruteru exclaimed as he walked in with a large pot, "It's versailles-style queue de boeuf, presented as meat and potato stew."

A loud rumbling suddenly interrupted all conversation.

"I-im cannot be. The unspeakable Demon King, who resides in the depths of the Nine Hells, has returned?!" Gundham announced in panic.

"It's her stomach rumbling," Nekomaru stated while picking up Akane, who had large amounts of drool hanging from her mouth.

"It's made lots, so have as much as you like."

"Yes!"

"Thanks for the food," we all chorused before eating.

"I want seconds," Akane announced two seconds later.

"That was fast!"

"It's okay." Chiaki stated.

"But you looked so overwhelmed!"

"It's want thirds!"

"Savor it a little more." Teruteru sweat-dropped.

I tried some and was surprised at the rich flavor and how delicious it tasted. "This tastes great!" I complimented.

"Atleast someone thinks it's good."

"One of my soups is missing," Teruteru panicked.

"Is this the one you mean?" Hiyoko asked, holding up an empty jar.

"Ah! That's..."

"What... is this?" Akane asked, her body sprawled out across the floor.

"What's wrong?" Nekomaru asked, lifting her in his arms.

"S-stop. Don't touch me..." her cheeks were suddenly flushed and she seemed embarrassed.

Nekomaru let go, slightly flushed and shocked. Soon they started swooning over each other and I decided to pay attention elsewhere.

Everyone seemed to be acting off, even myself. I could feel my cheeks burning up and the room suddenly felt warmer.

"Sayonji what is the meaning of this?" Yukizome-sensei gasped.

"Nothing, I just mixed the soup in this bottle with the food," she smirked, holding up the empty bottle once again.

"Of all the options... you used my sexy sexy soup full of aphrodisiacs!"

"Oh! Did it hit you too hard, Hanamura?" She giggled.

My head was pounding and I suddenly felt dizzy. Aphrodisiacs would not settle well with my medication.

"Th-this is a matter of serious concern..." Yukizome-sensei collapsed into a heap on the floor.

Chiaki was leaning against the wall, breathing heavily. I noticed Fuyuhiko trying to refrain Souda from stripping. Gundham was muttering something about his right arm. Mikan and Peko's situation will be censored out of this story, let's just say it has scarred my mind. And Komaeda was... well he was just thinking about hope.

Hiyoko was laughing evilly, that little brat will pay when...

My train of thought was cut off when my head started pounding again. I managed to keep my eyes open just long enough to see Chiaki protect Hiyoko from Teruteru and him shouting 'Taylor Swift' before the world turned black.

I woke up in the infirmary a few hours later. The class was crowded around me and a few others, who was lying in the beds next to me.

"What happened?" I croaked out. My throat was burning and I wasn't having the easiest time breathing.

"Th-the aphrodisiacs seemed to have mixed with some sort of medication you were taking causing a chemical reaction which could have poisoned you. L-luckily you seem to have a high tolerance to poison so it didn't kill you or cause any serious damage, a-although, you may not feel too good for the next few days," Mikan stuttered explaining the situation.

"Thanks Mikan, I think I'll go back to sleep for now," I replied as my drowsiness took over.

The next day everyone seemed to have returned back to normal, which I was thankful for. However...

"How are you so energetic?" Souda asked Yukizome-sensei.

... everyone seemed alot less energetic than usual, which wasn't too surprising considering the previous days events.

"Now let's begin class. I could have taken volunteers, but I decided alone, based on my own prejudices," Yukizome-sensei announced.

"What are you talking about?" Nekomaru asked.

"For our class rep, I ask Nanami Chiaki to accept the position!" She exclaimed enthusiastically. I mentally cheered, Chiaki would make a great class rep!

"Huh? I don't wanna," Chiaki mumbled.

"You should give everything a try," the overly enthusiastic teacher proclaimed.

"Nanami would be perfect," the blonde princess agreed.

"I agree with Miss Sonia!"

"Sounds fine to me," Akane chimed in.

"I agree!" Nekomaru said.

"No problems here either," Fuyuhiko stated.

"I do not mind in the least," Peko added.

"I do not object," the cheery Ibuki shouts.

"Same here, I guess," Mahiru agrees.

"Why not," Hiyoko huffed.

"Nice punch!" Teruteru announced.

"I'm also in favour, I think," Hope boy smiled.

"I'm okay with Nanami..." Mikan spoke.

"Hmph, so that is what the world has chosen."

"I think you're suited for it, too," Mitarai answers.

I nodded my head in agreement, smiling at Nanami.

"What do you say, Nanami? You heard everyone," Yukizome-sensei walked towards her and smiled, "will you take the job?"

"Okay," Chiaki mumbled quietly.

"Good! It's decided then!"

Komaeda starts clapping and we all turn to him.

"How wonderfully beautiful. All of you, with super high-school level talent, will bond more tightly with Nanami's talent to lead you."

"Komaeda?" Yukizome-sensei questioned.

"For as long as Nanami is our rep, this class and it's light will surely never end... sorry. Maybe I've said too much."

3rd P.O.V

Hajime walked away from the reserve course building, as he looked up he noticed two girls standing at the gateway. One with salmon pink hair and the other with golden coloured hair and faint freckles dusting the bridge of her nose.

As he walked closer both of them turned their attention from what they were doing and looked at him.

"Hinata, a new fighting game came out," Chiaki announced.

"Huh?"

"Want to go to the game centre together?" Amaya/Emilia asked.

"I-I'm no good at fighting games." He waved his hand in front of him.

"That's fine!" Chiaki reached for his outstretched hand and took it, dragging him along.

"H-hey..." he blushed.

"When you're with everyone, games are fun!"
