We are now talking to the fortune teller student who seems to be up from his sleep, as he stretches and greets us with a hello. "It seems you both must be waiting for me, seeing we are the only one here. What's up my classmates?"
"Hi yes, we didn't want to wake up up just to talk to us, so we just had some small talk so no time wasted. This is Chihiro Fujisaki and I am Hanako Yuki.", we said. The student smiles before introducing himself, "That's very thoughtful of you two, my name is Yasuhiro Hagakure, and I say I am just a regular student with some minor foresight abilities." I am curious because this is the first time I am meeting a fortune teller, so I try my hypothesis whether he can really forsee something ahead, "I think that is an awesome ability to forsee predictions like that, how do you do that actually?"
Yasuhiro grins as he reveals his crystal ball, "This my friends, is a one of kind artifact which allows me to peer into the future, a magical crystal ball." We gaze in awe of his crystal ball as it does look kinda cool but cannot help but feel that it looks like some glass ball. Chihiro asks him a favor whether he can make a divination, "emmm... D-do you think you can do a read on something?"
"Sure but I must say that my prediction rates is only at 30% success, but hey numbers are just numbers so let's do it, what do you want me to do a read on?", Yasuhiro asks, and Chihiro requests after thinking a while. "What kind of person will I become in the future?", Chihiro cheerfully asks and Yasuhiro works on his thing while doing some hand waving around the ball, as it produces a glowing light, as he reads it, seemingly nervous. After a few seconds, he closes his eyes before opening to reveal that his divination is successful and he shares that, "Chihiro, I think you will be a very kind and pretty lady in the future. Yep, no doubt about it as you are now."
Chihiro blushes before asking whether that is really what the divination showed and Yasuhiro says that while that is what he saw, anything can happen in the present which may lead to a very different future, so he just cleverly says that his foresight is merely just a reflection of what could likely happen and that the future is yet to written in stone. The programmer smiles before sighing, seemingly relieved of something. Yasuhiro then asks me what do I want to know, "So, how about a read for you too, seeing you both patiently waited for me, the least I can do is give a free divination."
"Thanks Yasuhiro, I will take you up on that, hmm... let me think... How about, what is my destiny for the future of the world and my friends?", the Ultimate Clairvoyant gives a thumbs up before working on his second read through his crystal sphere and he looks excited to see too until his face slowly turn a bit of a shocking look as he goes on for a full minute before turning to me with his mouth wide open. I gulp as I prepare to hear what he has to tell me, "I saw that you are a very important person in the future, you have and will be helping so many people, totally a pious soul, dude. "I am amazed to hear such a divination and it really motivated me to continue realizing my dream to be of a useful person to contribute to the nation."
I feel like I just drew a nice fortune slip, and in high spirits to pursue something, which gives me an idea. "Thanks so much, for the divination. We're going to bounce, we will see you around, Yasuhiro." Chihiro and I bid him a goodbye before leaving the lounge, and it is evening already. We have already acquainted nearly half the class, and now know way better than we first started. So, we had dinner in the cafeteria, had some omelette rice, Chihiro and I sure love the meal after a day of walking around the academy and meeting our classmates. After that, Chihiro ask me if I want to stop by at her room, I say I would be happy to.
She welcomes me in to her room and wants to talk to me more. The same is for me as I enjoy conversing with Chihiro, so we talk about what are our plans for tomorrow, and I share with her my idea of starting a new club, and I hope it will be a great addition and place to bond with the entire class and school. "So, we had a long day today, and tomorrow I plan to make an initiation of a new club." Chihiro likes the idea of me starting a new club as she asks, "Oh, that's sounds fun, what kinda of club is it going to be, Hanako?"
"I am thinking of starting a gaming club, and it will be a place of good entertainment and relaxation for all of members." I explain and Chihiro finds it a wonderful idea, and even expresses of wanting to help me to get it off the ground. I really appreciate the help, I assure her that it will be fun and she will not be disappointed. "Ooh, speaking of games, do you still play like those games we used to, like Mario kart or strategy based games like Fire emblem?" I nod as those were my favourite games as they keep coming up with new sequels in the franchise. "Yep, I really like those classics, and the times I introduced you to those and playing with you." Chihiro could recall when I would come by her house after school and we would sometimes play some games together as I shared with her some of my knowledge in most games. "Seems to me, those times were just like yesterday, I really enjoyed those times, now I still like exploring some new games and even working on some ideas for a whole new game experience.", I expressed my thoughts of unveiling a brand new gaming atmosphere for the opening of the gaming club when it is approved. "I-It will be really nice, if a club like this can bring us all to spend time together. I'm rooting for the club." says Chihiro and I am feeling good about this idea, I just need to present the suggestion to the headmaster tomorrow and spread the news to the class.
I thank Chihiro for supporting my idea and we talk a bit about our fortunes today before I take my leave, "Chihiro, I will be going now, going to need some sleep for tomorrow's classes." The programmer then tugs on my sleeve as I was turning to the door, I ask her if there is something. "N-No. It is just nice talking to you like this, I just don't feel too flustered when talking to you." I am happy to hear her feeling content around me. She further adds, "Do you mind if I could stop by your room if I want to tell you something, you are my closest friend I have." I held her hands in mine, and say, "Of course, Chihiro, I will be around whenever you need me or want to talk to me. We can figure things out better, and soon we will have more friends in our circle." She blushes a little and smiles before I leave her room with a goodbye. I head to my room and dressed for bed, lying in bed as sleep overtakes me.
As the rays of sunlight fills my room, I could feel the warmth as I wake up with a good stretch, feeling refreshed to start the day. I grabbed some bread and jam for a light breakfast, and dress myself to leave and meet with my friends to head to class together. Along the way, I come across Makoto and greet him, "Hey, Makoto." The lucky student turns to warmly greet me, "Oh, morning Hanako. You look just as eager on this fine morning.", Makoto says as I nod to that, seeing that it is already the second day. "Sure am, how about we walk to class together, seeing that we are here. I have things to tell you about.", I reply. Makoto happily agrees as we have some time for conversation, I tell him of my idea to start a new gaming club in Hope's Peak and he is welcome to join as a member to a place of relaxation and fun with entertainment. "Hey, now that's sounds really fun, I would like to check it out, thanks Hanako."
"Thanks for the support, Makoto, hopefully it gets approved, I really want to start it off the ground.", I give a thumbs up with a smile as we run into some commotion outside the classroom, as we can see Hifumi debating about something with a violet hair girl with glasses. We head to see what the fuss is about, "Hi Hifumi, what's going on? You look a bit on edge." The Ultimate Fantic writer looks delighted to see us, as he is in the middle of proving his point about how there is nothing wrong with working with another author on a book. "I only wish to share with this lady here, the idea of collaborating with some writings for a new fanfic, and she rudely decline while insulting my work." The girl looks disgusted at his idea of writing as she says that his fanfic ideas just give people the creeps, she would have to be an idiot if she agrees to it. I thought to myself, well Hifumi has some very interesting work but too much for us to even flip a page so I would have to side with the girl here. Hifumi adjusts his glasses, refuting that she is missing out on a great opportunity as he takes his leave.
The girl turns her gaze to us as she looks at us unamused, "So, you boys are just weird too?" Both Makoto and me clear up the assumption of us being addressed as weird, "Hey, you don't call someone who just came here weirdoes, that's really rude." Makoto explains, but the girl pays no heed to his reasons, having a disgusted look at us. "Sorry, but please try to be reasonable and hear us out, Miss..."
She looks even more unconvinced as she calls us now a hypocrite, "W-Well your polite act isn't fooling anyone, n-not me..." She just leaves without saying another word, and just like that we ain't doing too hot after that remark. "Makoto, how about we just head on in, just shake it off.", I put my hand on my friend's shoulder and we enter to look for seats as other students slowly arrive afterwards. We are joined by Chihiro, Taka and Mukuro, who we welcome to sit along with.
However, I do notice that some of the students are just minding their own business while the class is underway, I could only surmise that they probably find the lessons uninteresting. I should refrain myself from thinking such things, and focus on the lesson. I give my full attention and analyzed what has been delivered today. Eventually the period ends, and we are dismissed for the day and everyone is packing to leave. As for me, I am visiting the prinicpal's office and submit an application for a gaming club.
As I grabbed some papers in a folder, I arrive at the front door, take a breath in, and give it a knock. Then, the prinicpal from the room tells me to come in, as I enter with a bow, "Good afternoon, Headmaster Kirigiri." I could see the refined looking principal sitting on his chair with a warming smile as he asks what brings me here. I explain my plan to set up a gaming club in Hope's Peak Academy and how it can bring quite some benefit to the academy.
"That is a first, our institition focuses on drawing out the potential in students with talent surpassing the majority of the world, how would a gaming club help in that, Mr Yuki?", the headmaster asks. "In this age, the gaming industry has been expanding that it has opened to many new frontiers of improving ones' capability, skillset and even talent to overcome a certain task or obstacles, it is even being recognized as a competitive sport in the world."
I further elaborate that this could give an opportunity to Hope's Peak to puruse a new competitive hallmark as it can be a new achievement for our school to compete in this new area. The headmaster looks impressed and convinced of the idea and has decided, "Hmm, indeed it can be seen as an excellent suggestion to bring to the school. If you can gather enough students to join the club, I would be more than glad to make the club an official school activity." Hearing that, I feel elated as I sincerely thank the headmaster for giving some support, "Thank you, sir. And once the club is created, we would like to formally welcome you to visit the club if you are willing to." The headmaster nods and I politely take my leave.
I approach my friends at the cafeteria having lunch, as I drop the amazing news and my friends are all excited to hear that it is officially a go. "Guys, what do you say, ready to join the club and make it official?" Makoto, Chihiro, Taka and Mukuro nod and decided to be the first few students of the gaming club. From there, we continue extending some invitations to the rest of our classmates, like Aoi, Kyoko, Byakuya, Leon, Sayaka, Mondo and Yasuhiro. With these new members, the club is good as here already, now we just need some time to move in some equipment and furniture.
Mukuro asks about the club, "Where will the club be held in, Hanako?" I answer that the headmaster will get started on renovating a storeroom and have the place enlarged to accomodate the ganing equipment and that it will be ready in a few days time, for now we just need to list the items, furniture and equipment that will be brought to the clubroom. "The idea of having a gaming club is one of the best ideas ever!", Makoto exclaims. "Mhmm... I'm sure t-that it will be a wonderful place to hang around.", Chihiro says. As we are in the middle of moving the items, Mondo and Yasuhiro came by and extend a hand to help us out.
"Wow, you guys sure are busy moving, mind if we helped out?", the bike gang leader grabs a table that Chihiro was having trouble with. "Umm. T-thank you, Mondo.", Chihiro says. Mondo replies that it is no sweat, just gotta be careful with these heavy ones. Yasuhiro gets in to help with moving some chairs with Makoto and Mukuro. "Alright, that does it for the furniture, now we just need to give it a few days and the club room will be ready, so hope to see everyone by then.", I thank everyone who are here today and wish them to look forward to the opening. Slowly, everyone leaves the room with some elated expressions and that it is time to have dinner soon again, I could see Mukuro by the stairwell, pondering as she looks to the skies.
I drop by and say a little hello, and she looks to me with a slight surprise, "Oh, hi, Hanako. you are still here?"
"Well, I could say the same for you, could I not, hehe.", she breaks to show a hint of a smile. "So, what are you thinking about? You seemed a bit spaced." I ask but Mukuro just replies as nothing important. I take a guess and say that she is probably thinking of someone, so I take a chance of a tease, "Oh, is it by any chance of a student here, a boy with an ahoge perhaps?" I can see a blush oj her face upon hearing that and I giggle to exposing that. Mukuro denies anything about my assumptions and I say that I am just kidding with her.
"I say that you are a good friend to have around, the rest of the group think so too, Mukuro.", I tell her and she asks me is that what I am just saying that something to just make her feel better. I reply neither because I trust her and seeing her till now along with us, is enough to see her as a friend. "No because you are always looking out for us, and you are one of the many friends I want to be around." Mukuro nods and smiles on hearing that but then again I said that I must be an easy guy to gain trust, I guess. "Enough of that though, aren't you coming with us for dinner? Bet everyone is waiting for us two." as I extend a hand of invitation to Mukuro. She humbly accepts and as I lead to the cafeteria with good tidings for the days to come.
