As soon as I entered the room, one of my fellow classmates noticed me.

"Whoa, hey! Another new kid?" asked a man with a crazy hair style.

"Yeah, so… that means you guys are all?"

"Yeah…We're all new here. Today's supposed to be our first day of class," explained a redheaded petite girl.

"So counting him, that makes fifteen," said a overweighed fellow who was analyzing the situation. "Seems like a good cut off point, but I wonder if this is everyone…"

Standing before me were the "Ultimate Students" that had been hand-picked by the school. As I looked around everyone who'd gathered there, I could see that they were different in their own unique way.

But…something's off.

I…I could swear that I somehow knew them. All of them. Except that there should be one more…right? Nah, I'm just crazy it's all of the nerves getting to me. Right?

Well I can't just stand here I have to introduce myself.

"Um…how's it going? My name's Makoto Naegi." I explained, introducing myself to my new classmates. "I'm sorry for being late, but stuff happened, and then I was just asleep."

"Whoa, you too?" gasped the man with the extreme hair style.

"Hmm…Things just keep getting curiouser and curiouser…" said a girl with gothic style clothing, stroking her chin as she thought.

The overweighed fellow seemed a little spooked adding to the conversation, "So strange… I declare beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is a strange situation indeed!"

Now I'm confused. "Guys what are you talking about? What's going on?" I ask.

"Just a moment there! There's something we all must address here!" said a guy with piercing red eyes, and wore a dignified uniform. Suddenly he pointed at me screaming, "Makoto Naegi! Your tardiness is unacceptable! Surely you were aware the meeting was to start at 8 a.m sharply! To be late on the most important day of the school year is unspeakable! I must report you, I must make sure you accept your due punishment!"

"What…the…hell is your problem?" asked a girl with a white and red bow on her head, as she slowly turned to the guy yelling at me. "It's not like he *wanted* to be late. He didn't have any control over it." She scolded him.

"Can everyone just calm down! Listen, why don't we all go around and introduce ourselves?" suggested a girl wearing the top of a red tracksuit.

"Pfh, The hell? Now's no time for friggin' introducions!" a man with long ,and I mean long, hair said.

"Maybe, but it may be good to at least find out who we all are before digging into bigger problems here. I mean, how are we even supposed to talk to each other if we do not know each other's names?" the gothic girl explained.

"That's a good point…" the red-haired girl said agreeing.

Looking up at the sky a blue haired girl began to talk, "Okay, so let's get introductions out of the way, then we can move on to whatever else. Sound good?"

Not going to lie got lost halfway through the conversation, but yeah…let's focus on knowing each other. Solid plan. Even though I already looked everyone up on that Hope's peak Acadey thread online, but…I have no clue what kind of people they actually are.

So we all introduced ourselves properly and got to know a bit about each other.

The five in front of me…

The guy who snapped on me early was…

Kiyotaka Ishimaru

Ultimate Moral Compass

Sporting a bold cut, but yet spikey hair, with a fancy plain white suit with medals and patches on it. But believe me is eyes are what really make him stick out.

He went to a famous private school and won top honors every year. The "perfect" student. He's also known for the work he's done with his community's Public Morals Committee. They say he respects rules above all else, earning him the title of Ultimate Moral Compass. One other thing…he prefers to be called Taka. Oh and he's kind of… annoying.

The girl to the left of him was…

Toko Fukawa

Ultimate Writing Prodigy

Sporting long hair with two braids, with a long dress that reached to her feet, with a scarf around her neck. Her two more distinguished features are her round glasses, and her beauty mark underneath her mouth.

She launched her literary career by writing a novel at age ten and has been releasing several other works of literature ever since. Then two years ago she released "So Lingers he Ocean," a love story said to be her best work. Let's just say fishermen quickly shot to the top of every "Hottest Men" poll after. Despite her age she's won countless literary prizes with each of her books being instant best- sellers, earning the title of Ultimate Writing Prodigy. To be honest I assumed she would be all lovey dovey because of her books. But you truly can't judge this book by it's cover because she has a major inferiority complex.

The girl to the left of her was…

Sayaka Maizono

Ultimate Pop Sensation

Her long blue hair and pale skin would make her stick out of a crowd any day. She wore a standard school uniform, with a pink bow attached to the front.

Sayaka Maizono…I knew her…if you count going to the same middle school as her knowing her. She's in a pop group famous all across the country. In fact, she's their lead singer. As the Ultimate Pop Sensation, she's in high demand to appear on TV and in magazines everywhere. She's really beautiful. Almost like a doll or something. The scary part is…she heard the last part. In fact I think she's hearing this right now. She's psychic…at least that's what I think because no intuition allows you to read a person's mind. However she does remember me from middle school. In fact we were going to talk more but…Taka. Not going to lie kind of hating him right now.

The boy left to her was…

Leon Kuwata

Ultimate Baseball Star

As well as being the only person here with full facial hair, Leon has a piercing under his lip, and sports a white coat with a shirt that has a gruesome design.

This was one of the few names I actually recognized. He played for the national high school champs as their cleanup hitter. The Ultimate Baseball Star. Shockingly he looks absolutely nothing like the picture I found online. He got embarrassed when I brought it up. And get this he doesn't even like baseball. Not one bit…in fact, he wants to be a musician. Just goes to show you, just because you have a gift doesn't mean you like the gift.

The boy left to him was…

Hifumi Yamada

Ultimate Fanfic Creator

With a backpack on and round spectacles, not to mention his sudden change of tone from time to time, Hifumi you could pick him out of a crowd. It also helps that he's overweight though.

He has sold over 10,000 copies of one of his fan comics at one school festival. While that feat alone is truly impressive he kind of has a big ego. But at least the man has pride in his work.

Those five people over there…

Furthest to the right was…

Aoi Asahina

Ultimate Swimming Pro

With her hair wrapped around her head to form one spike pointing up, and wearing a red track suit top. She seems the nicest so far.

Aoi Asahina…she's been breaking records in every competition she's ever been in since elementary school. She's even been chosen as an upcoming Olympic cadet. No doubt am I looking at the Ultimate Swimming Pro. The combination of her ability, appearance and,…um…proportions has been widely discussed online. She's kind of strange, but nice.

To her left was…

Chihiro Fujisaki

Ultimate Programmer

A shy timid little rabbit this one is. Chihiro has redhair, and wore a green uniform with a skirt.

Yet…she asked me if we met before, despite the fact that we are barley introducing ourselves for the first time. Even though I know I haven't met her before. Something tells me I have.

Known for all the cutting-edge programs she's created. Chihiro Fujisaki is the Ultimate Programmer. Her timid type has earned her a legion of fans. I can see why as she has already apologized to me several times.

To her left was…

Kyoko Kirigiri

Ultimate ?

With light pink hair, puple eyes, and wearing a suit.

Two words, tight lipped. She's one of the few people who I couldn't find any information on. …Yeah that's all there is to her…

To her left was…

Junko Enoshima

Ultimate Fashionista

Looks different from the pictures on those fashion magazines. Her long wavy hair, and huge bow on her head gives you a taste of her personality.

With more charm and presence than any high school girl in the country. She's the Ultimate Fashionista. I've seen tons of magazine covers of her…which are photoshopped. Yup so many dreams are getting crushed today… but the weird thing is. When I look at her I think of a different girl. A name that starts with an 'M' but the name evades me.

To her left was…

Mondo Owada

Ultimate Biker Gang Leader

A man who swears and is very intimidating. Mondo wears a mostly leather, and has a couple of tattoos under his eyes. His hear which reminds we of corn really make him stick out.

He's the current leader of the largest biker gang in Japan. He's earned respect, even awe, from every gang in the country. He's the Ultimate Gang Leader. Not going to lie I'm afraid one wrong word and I can be dead with a knife a buried in my chest because of him.

Those last four over there

The one on the furthest right was…

Sakura Ogami

Ultimate Martial Artist

Oh…my…god…I almost asked her if she was a guy. Her crazy long flowing hair, scars, and pulsing veins from her muscles really almost threw me off. Glad I don't make the mistake with men.

She competed in a martial arts tournament in America and won, despite being a girl. She's the Ultimate Martial Artist. She's fought in over 400 matches, and never lost a single one. Judging by what I've read online the comments are not kind. The most scariest part of her was that she wanted me as a training partner. Nothing on earth could even be capable of being her training partner. So thank God.

Next to her was…

Byakuya Togami

Ultimate Affluent Progeny

A blonde pretty boy with glasses and a stuck up attitude…Yay…

Byakuya Togami the heir apparent of his family's massive financial conglomerate. Already he's started managing business operations, and his own personal assets are, well, vast. He is an….ass.

Next to him was…

Yasuhiro Hagakure

Ultimate Clairvoyant

Wearing what seems like two jackets and having the second most craziest hairdo I've seen in my life, he's certainly a character.

He's known as "Supanova" in the psychic community. Honestly, I don't really get all that fortune-telling stuff. It's pretty much beyond me. But I wonder if there's any truth to it. He prefers Hiro for short. Not to mention he's 21.

Next to him was…

Celestia Ludenberg

Ultimate Gambler

Taking first place in the craziest hairdo I've seen in my life. She has pale skin, a ribbon around her neck, and a suit that screams gothic.

She doesn't mind if I call her Celeste, but this isn't her real name I think. When I questioned her about it she seemed to just laugh it off.

Polite and forceful. She intimidates me a bit. She's the Ultimate Gambler never lost a bet. Other than her obvious love of gothic Lolita clothes, everything about her is wrapped in a veil of lies. Rumors are that she entered and won an underground gambling tournament, earning the title "Queen of Liars". Laughing as she cleaned out other players of their life savings. With her smile a deception. I'd better watch myself around her.

After that introductions were finished

Even though they're all "ultimate," they each have their own individual sort of …something.

"Okay, time to get down to business. This is no time to stand around making friends like a bunch of dull-eyed baboons," Byakuya said in a harsh tone, which in this case is his normal voice.

But he did have a point.

"That's true," I said agreeing. "I think someone said something about a bigger problem or something? What was that about?"

"Well you see," Maizono began with her hand next to her mouth. "Makoto, you said a bunch of stuff happened and then you were "just asleep" right?" she asked biting her fist thinking. "Well the same is true…for all of us." She explained.

"Wait seriously!?" I asked shocked.

Scratching his head Kuwata explained, "Yeah just after each of us got to the main hall, we lost consciousness." "And when we came to, we were somewhere here in the school! That's what happened to you right?" he asked.

"B-But that's weird! That every one of us would get knocked out like that…" I'm stunned by this it's beyond bizarre.

"Exactly! That's why we're all freakin'out!" Owada screamed.

"And that's not the only thing. You saw where all the windows in the classes and hallways were right?" Taka asked.

"B-Bolted by metal…plates," I said.

"Exactly what's that about!?" he asked.

"Plus, all my stuff's missing! Even my cellphone…" Junko said.

"Yeah, you're right. I haven't seen my PDA anywhere, either…" Chihiro added.

"And then…there's the main hall here." Taka pointed at the front exit. "The front is completely blocked by some giant metal hatch. But there wasn't anything like that when I first got here…!" Taka exclaimed as he began to sweat. "What the heck!? What's it doing there!?" he shouted.

Maybe we got caught up in some kinda, like you know…crime or something? Junko asked starting to sweat as well.

"What , like…a kidnapping?" Kuwata asked as he started to panic. "You think maybe someone grabbed us and hauled us off and we're not actually at school?" he asked, his face losing more color.

"Come on, don't think like that. Cheer up!" Hiro said smiling a bit. "I bet this is all just part of the school's…orientation procedure…yeah something like that." He said reassuringly.

Breathing a breathe of relief Chihiro smiled, "Oh…So you think they wanted to do something to surprise us?

Looking dumbfounded Kuwata scratched his head, "Well if that's all it is, it's nap time for me." He smiled a bit. "I was up way too late last night, so I could use a little shuteye."

The tension around us began evaporating…But then it began.

*Ding dong, bing bong*\

The silhouette of a bear appeared on the monitor of the screen in the meeting hall.

"Ahem! Ahem! Testing, Testing! Mike check, one two! This is a test of the school broadcast system!," said a high voice coming from the screen. "Am I on? Can everyone hear me? Okay well then…!

That voice…it didn't match this place. It was playful, so completely unconcerned. Like a five year old. It was chilling not only for me, I could see Chihiro shiver a bit. I know why. The voice was as if a child just murdered someone and laughed as he was put in the back of a cop car.

"Ahh, to all incoming students! I would like to begin the entrance ceremony at…right now!" said the voice. "Please make your what to the gymnasium at your earliest convenience. …That's all I'll be waiting!" The screen turned off.

" . Hell was that just now?" Junko asked terrified.

"Well then, if you'll excuse me…" Togami said without a care heading off to the gymnasium.

"H-Hey! What, you're going take off just like that!?" Junko yelled after him.

"Ohh yeah, now I get it! This whole thing was just to get us all pumped for the entrance ceremony!" Hiro said as if he had a sudden realization. "Man, thank god it was all a joke. I'd be totally freaked if this was real!" he said laughing. "Alright, guess I'll head out too. Wonder what they got planned for us next…," he said taking off.

"Damn, I was really looking forward to that nap. *Yawn* Why'd they have to go and kill the mood?" Kuwata said taking off.

"W-Wait for me! I wanna go with you!" Chihiro said following in pursuit.

With a smile on her face Celeste bid us a farewell before taking of as well.

"N-not that anyone care, but I-I'm going go too…" Toko mummered as she walked off.

Everyone took off for the gym, but I was frozen shocked. This feeling of uneasiness it's scary. And it looked like I wasn't the only one…

Soon only me, Maizono, Kirigiri, Sakura, Juko, and Mondo where the only one's there.

"This…this doesn't seem right," Maizono said.

"Yeah, that announcement was totally weird," Junko said sweating.

"I know and I think chihiro feels the same way," I said.

"Mabye, but staying put doesn't mean we'll be safe." Kirigiri said. "Besides, aren't you guys just a bit curious to find out what's going on here?" she asked.

"If we do not move forward, we learn nothing. The only choice is to push ahead." Sakura said before taking off. Kirigiri followed behind.

"Damn I guess we have no frigging choice we have to go," Mondo said about to leave but Junko stopped him.

"Wait," she said.

"What the fuck do you want," he said turning towards her annoyed.

"Us four need to watch each others backs just in case something is wrong," Junko said indicating me, Maizono, Mondo, and herself.

"What about the ones who left," I asked.

"Look it's just that…they left a bit too eagerly," Junko explained.

"Well what about Chihiro," asked Maizono concerned.

"I'll watch after her," Mondo said. "But, if something fucked up is happening I won't need you guys watching my back for me," he said taking off.

We watched him leave.

"Well I guess we should go too," said Maizono. The three of us headed off to uncertainty.
