Swim class. It was always one of the things Chihiro hated the most when it came to school, even though, in reality, he loved swimming.

Jin had been understanding enough to allow the boy to wear the women's swimsuit after hearing his explanation for what had happened to him in the past leading to him pretending to be a girl. It had been going on for years by this point, and although Chihiro felt like he was finally ready to come clean, at least to a few people, he was still surrounded by strangers he barely knew, which only made speaking up about it much harder.

He knew he was likely to make friends eventually, but taking that first step was always difficult.

Especially when he currently had a beautiful naked girl standing next to him.

Class 78 was swimming with their upperclassmen, Class 77. Standing next to Chihiro was a busty nude girl with a smile on her face as she watched her friends dive into the water per the teacher's instructions.

"Hello!" she said warmly to Chihiro, and her voice was soft like velvet as he blushed.

"H-Hello…"

"You're from class 78, right?" the girl asked as she held out a hand. "My name is Chiaki. It's nice to meet you."

"Ch-Chihiro…" the boy said as he grasped her hand. They shook, and Chihiro was shocked at how soft her hand was.

"That's a pretty name!" she said as she pulled her hand away. "I think I heard about you, actually. You're the Ultimate Programmer, right?"

"Ah, y-yes…" Chihiro stuttered, feeling embarrassed that she knew about him, briefly growing paranoid that she might somehow know his true gender.

"So…have you ever programmed a video game?" she asked as she turned to face him, her chest wobbling, drawing his attention as he saw she had a cute mole on her right breast. He felt a stirring as he quickly turned away, his face bright red. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"I…I-It's just…"

"It's the nudity, isn't it?"

Chihiro turned to look at her again, though made sure to keep his eyes on hers. "Sorry, I just…it's a little strange, that's all. I'm not quite used to it…"

"Yeah, I don't really bother with covering up anymore," Chiaki said with a laugh. "I was actually the first one forced into the program, so I've had enough time to get used to it, but I'd understand if other people haven't yet."

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Chihiro cried. "That sounds horrible…" But Chiaki simply waved her hand dismissively.

"Like I said, I've gotten used to it. Plus…it's actually done some good for me, I think," she said, and although Chihiro couldn't really understand what she meant, she continued before he could ask. "Ah, so, about my earlier question…"

"Oh! Oh, well, I mostly know how to do computer programming, but I've always been curious about video game programming as well. I'm…not someone who really plays a lot of video games, though, so I wouldn't really have the perspective of a person who does."

"Well, then that's perfect you met me!" Chiaki said excitedly, and Chihiro frowned. "I'm the Ultimate Gamer, at least that's my actual Ultimate Talent, so if you ever want to get into video games, I'd love to talk about them with you and give you some recommendations!" Chihiro couldn't help but admire the girl's clear enthusiasm, and he found himself smiling, to which she flashed a bright one of her own.

Suddenly, Chiaki was called away to take her turn, and she replied she'd be there in a second before turning to Chihiro. "Let's talk again sometime, okay? I'd like to be friends!"

Chihiro blinked in surprise and once again grabbed and shook her outstretched hand. "I-I think I'd like that, too."

Chiaki gave one last smile before turning and making her way over to the other side of the pool, leaving Chihiro to rub his arm, staring after her for a while before getting embarrassed as he realized he'd been staring at her ass.

Meanwhile, various other pairings were forming around the room.

"What're you staring at?" Akane demanded from a red-haired boy who was standing pretty close and staring at her.

"Your…physique?" Leon offered as he hadn't realized he'd been staring that obviously. To his surprise, Akane smiled.

"Oh, you impressed? Took a lot of work to get this buff, but it's totally worth it! You should give it a try!" she said as she flexed her arm, making her large breasts bobble, which then made Leon swallow. He was about to say more when Aoi suddenly walked up to them, practically bouncing on her feet as she stopped in front of Akane.

"Hey! I saw you swimming earlier, and you're really fast, almost as fast as me! I was wondering if you'd like to try racing!" she said excitedly, and Akane's eyes went wide.

"Hell yeah, that sounds like fun!" Akane cried, and the two began to walk off.

"Don't you get embarrassed at all like that?" Leon could hear Aoi asking as they walked away.

"Nah, not really."

Leon sighed as he watched, only for someone to clasp a large, heavy arm over his shoulder.

"Don't worry!" Nekomaru cried. "I'd love to help you make your figure just as fantastic as hers!" His laugh boomed across the room, and Leon could only respond with a weak one of his own.

Somewhere else in the room, Kazuichi was walking up to Mondo with a smile on his face. "Hey! You're the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Mondo asked as he eyed the naked man suspiciously.

"Well, I'm the Ultimate Mechanic, and I'd love to check out your ride sometime! I've heard a lot of stories about it, and I've been itching to take a look!"

"Really?" Mondo asked, his face softening a bit.

"Yeah! Of course, I wouldn't do anything with it without your permission, but I'd love to see if there's anything I can do to improve it or upgrade it!" Kazuichi said excitedly, and Mondo laughed.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" he said, allowing himself to smile. Kazuichi nodded back at him with a much larger smile on his own face.

Across the pool, Hiyoko was preparing to dive when she felt a tap on her shoulder, and turned to find a girl staring at her, looking meek yet disgusted.

"Y-You know it's pretty shameful to show yourself off like that," Toko said with a slight sneer. "Th-Though I guess with your types, you always like to sh-show off your assets, huh?"

"Excuse me?" Hiyoko asked as she turned to face Toko, and gave her such a harsh glare that Toko immediately shriveled. "What does that mean?"

"I, uh…I-I mean, it's just…"

"No, no, explain it to me. What exactly did you mean with that?" Hiyoko demanded as she clenched her fist, and Toko let out a squeal before running away. Despite the insulting thing she'd said, however, Hiyoko smirked.

"Glad I've still got it~" she said to herself.

Once more in another part of the room, two nerds named Hifumi and Ryota were also excitedly talking.

"Please! You've got to tell me what other projects you've got going on! I loved your last work, since your art was so beautiful! The way you drew those girls' curves was immaculate!"

"I-I'm contractually obligated not to say anything, sorry," Ryota responded. "Though it doesn't matter much since a lot of things are on hold while I'm at school."

"Come on, man! I'm one of your biggest fans! You should see the doujins I've drawn for your characters!

"Th-They aren't really my characters, I just drew them…"

"And your drawings brought them to life! So please just tell meeeee!"

As that conversation went on, across the room, Makoto was being rather rudely taken up by Nagito, whose nudity made the boy just a little uncomfortable.

"We should be good friends, as we share the same incredible talent, shouldn't we?" Nagito asked.

"N-Not to be rude, but…can you please take a step back?" Makoto asked since Nagito was only inches away from his face, and he was genuinely worried about his lower appendage brushing up against him and how weird it would feel if it did.

"Sorry, I just like to bask in the brilliance of someone with whom I feel such a connection. I am absolutely positive we will do amazing things in our time at school, especially if we work together!" Nagito went on.

"R-Right…" Makoto said shyly as someone suddenly ran up and grabbed Nagito by the arm.

"Sorry about him," Fuyuhiko apologized. "He's the weirdo in the class, and that's saying something."

"I-It's fine, thank you," Makoto said as she watched Nagito wave at him while being dragged away. He then turned his gaze to the other nudists all over the room, still unbelieving that such a thing was allowed. Of course, the general public wasn't made aware of the purpose behind the Program, only that it did indeed have one. It was anyone's guess, but Makoto certainly couldn't come up with anything. It was simply strange to see so many nude people walking around as if it were nothing and people his age no less.

He hadn't realized he was staring until he felt a presence next to him, and he turned to see Kyoko glaring at him. He jumped in surprise and leapt back a step.

"It's rude to stare, you know."

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm just…not used to it…" he said as he looked at her, only to have his gaze go way too low, and he was about to force it back up to her face before his eyes snagged on her gloves. They didn't look like anything he'd ever seen in a store before, and the fact she'd been allowed to keep them on felt so strange to him when she wasn't allowed to wear anything else.

He heard a huff and finally looked back up at her face, her cheeks now tinted red. His eyes went wide as he thrust up his hands. "A-Ah! No, I wasn't looking at your chest, I swear!"

"Oh? Then what were you looking at?" she questioned.

"Your gloves! That's all!"

Somehow, that seemed to make her even more angry, as she scowled and walked away, leaving Makoto more confused and annoyed that he was not making a good first impression with the girl. He sighed, unaware of both Mukuro and Sayaka watching him from their own corners of the room, pouting.

At least until, in Mukuro's case, Junko grabbed her and pushed her into the pool right on top of Teruteru, who was not at all upset by the situation as her small yet soft chest smashed against his face hard enough to break his nose. Junko cackled as Mukuro scrambled to get back out of the pool, with Teruteru grabbing her hips dangerously close to her ass in order to try and do the same before Mukuro kicked him in the face and he went back into the water, sinking down with a satisfied look on his face.

"That was kind of mean, wasn't it?"

Junko turned to see Sonia staring at her, just as naked as she was, and Junko turned to face her, looking down at her chest and then at her own chest, and smirked.

"Sonia Nevermind, correct?"

"You know me?" Sonia asked in surprise, and Junko waved her hand.

"I did some research on all the Ultimates before coming here," she said. "I heard you joined the program because nudity is already legal in your country."

"That's right, but you're dodging the question from before-"

"Hey, you're rich, right?" Junko asked as she slung an arm over Sonia's shoulders, her hand brushing against the girl's breast, leaving Sonia looking uncomfortable. "I am too. Kinda. Not as much as you, probably, but I am."

"Can you please not touch me like that?" Sonia asked.

"Like this?" Junko said as she squeezed Sonia's breast, and the girl let out a gasp before she shoved Junko away.

"As a fellow nudist who doesn't seem ashamed of her body, I thought you'd be interesting to talk to, but I see I was mistaken! Good day!" And with that, Sonia walked away. Junko openly ogled her ass as she left.

Meanwhile, Sayaka continued to stare as Makoto got into the water and started swimming as per the teacher's instructions. She briefly began to wonder if she, too, needed to be a nudist to get his attention before shaking her head. There was no way she would be brave enough to do that.

"You know, if you like him, you should just tell him."

Sayaka shrieked and jumped away, turning to find a red-haired naked girl standing next to her.

"Ah, sorry!" Mahiru said as she raised her hands. "I didn't mean to scare you! I just saw you staring and thought I'd help give you some advice."

"On what, exactly?" Sayaka questioned as she tried hard to keep her eyes on the girl's face, especially as she seemed to be making an—albeit weak—effort to keep herself covered up.

"It's okay, you can look I just…well, I was going to start leaving myself completely uncovered at the start of the year, but then having a class with a bunch of new people I don't know made me nervous, so…" Mahiru said before shaking her head and slowly lowering her arms, which only made it harder for Sayaka not to look. "And to answer your question, it's about your crush."

"C-Crush? I-I don't…!" Mahiru laughed.

"Please. I've crushed enough myself to know what it looks like from the outside now." Mahiru glanced over at Makoto. "So he's the guy you like, huh? I'm guessing you knew him before coming here?" Sayaka hesitated but eventually nodded.

"Yeah…we knew each other a long time ago, and…he did something that made me see him really positively, and…I've…you know…" Sayaka said, and Mahiru nodded.

"You should just tell him," she said.

"But what if he doesn't feel the same?"

"You won't know until you try."

"But if it messes up our friendship-"

"If he's a good person, it won't," Mahiru said. "I confessed to someone I liked and she rejected me, but we're still good friends because she's a good person. Isn't he?"

"Yes, he is," Sayaka said without hesitation.

"Then trust me, it's better to just tell him than to try and dance around it. Just do your best, okay? The longer you wait, the more likely he'll be taken by someone else." Sayaka looked down at her feet, then back up at her.

"I-I'll try," she said, and Mahiru nodded, flashing her a smile as the teacher called her over. She briefly extended a hand.

"My name is Mahiru. I'm open to talk if you ever want to," she said, and Sayaka shook her hand. The teacher called Mahiru's name a second time, and she went off, waving as she left. Sayaka waved back but sighed.

"Easier said than done…" she said to herself.

Meanwhile, in another part of the school, Ruruka and Seiko were having another, less important interaction.

"Hey, Seiko," Ruruka said as she wrapped her friend in a hug as they passed one another in the hallway. She giggled as she saw how deeply Seiko began to blush.

"I-I told you not to do that in public! It's embarrassing!" Seiko said, only for Ruruka to plant a kiss on her cheek.

"Sorry I like to kiss and hug my new girlfriend~!" Ruruka said as she pulled away but kept her arms on Seiko's shoulders.

"I, uh…it's good I saw you because I actually wanted to ask you something," Seiko said.

"Mhm~?"

"Do you, uh…think I should…become a nudist too?" she asked shyly. "I-I mean, it's-"

"Yes! Absolutely, because naked hugs are the best, and you'd look so cute and hot and god, that would be so hot!" Ruruka said as she once again hugged Seiko, to which Seiko almost wanted to push her away but didn't. She simply sighed and hugged her back, feeling their chest squeezing together.

"Alright…thank you," Seiko said. She wasn't sure if or when she would do it, but it felt good to ask anyway.
