Bold means important information
Sakura sighs 'Guess I should look around' She thinks as she walks out of the cafeteria and enters a hallway. After wandering around she finds herself in a large room with a stage and more tables and chairs. She also finds 2 people there: The boy in the straw hat and the girl with the cowboy hat.
Boy with Straw Hat
She approaches the boy, who was leaning against the wall muttering to himself "Did I leave the stove on...?"
"Um...hello" sakura says, causing the man to snap out of it
"Oh. Hey" He says waving. "Sorry you caught me in the middle of my thoughts. Your Sakura right? The ultimate Lawyer?"
"That's me. And you are?"
"Kubo Mizu, The Ultimate Fisherman" he says brandishing his fishing rod "I once caught a fish that was twice my size!"
"Really? Wow that's pretty big" Sakura says. Kubo nods
"Yeah. Of course that's when I was like...8. So it was only about...8 feet?"
"That's...still pretty big as far as fish are concerned right?"
"Not really. The average tuna is only 6 feet. Some of them can even grow to 13 feet." He says "Of course that has nothing on the Blue Marlin, which have an average of 11 feet. Females can even grow to 14 feet"
"You sure do know a lot about fish" Sakura says
"Ah!" He says rubbing his head "Sorry. I tend to ramble about these sorts of things hehe..."
'Nice to see you have hobbies i guess' Sakura thinks as she then moves on too
Girl with the cowboy hat
"He-"
"Back up!" She yells pointing her pistol at Sakura "I require a minimum of 6 feet at all times!"
"Woah! Sorry! I didn't mean to...p...please don't shoot me!"
"..." The girl sighs "Relax. Its full of blanks anyway..."
"Oh..." Sakura thinks 'Something tells me she was forced to get rid of the bullets...'
"I'm Hiko Seiko. You can call me the Ultimate Sharpshooter"
"Sharpshooter huh? Where did you get your practice?"
"When I was in the Yakuza"
"Oh" Sakura says
"..."
"WAIT THE YAKUZA!?"
"That's right. My dad and mom use to rule a clan before they got caught. That's where I learned how to shoot"
"I...see..."
'Now I want to say 6 feet away for MY sake...'
"Your scared of me now huh?" Hiko says "Good. Now how about you leave me alone and go look somewhere else"
'She's right. It seems there's nothing here. I suppose I should check out the hallways on either side of this room. Lets see...'
Left Hall
She enters the hallway and sees 3 people: The smiling boy, the clean cut boy and the large jock. They appeared to be talking about what they remember before they woke up.
Clean Cut Boy
"So...it appears all of us were in front of Hopes Peak before we lost consciousness" He says
"Yeah. That's about what I remember too" Sakura says walking up. The boy looks at her
"Sakura Masayoshi correct?" He asks but doesn't even wait for a response before continuing "I am Hiroto Eto. My talent is Debating"
"So...your the Ultimate Debater?" Sakura tilts her head "Your just...good at arguing?"
"That's rich coming from a lawyer, don't you agree?' He smirks.
"...I see what you mean now" Sakura sighs "So all of us were accepted into Hopes Peak?"
"That appears to be the case" The jock says "I was walking in when I felt this strange, dizzy sensation"
"Yeah" The smiling boy ways "I thought you had to wait until you were like...21 before you could feel that"
'was...that a joke?'
"Oh! Right we haven't introduced ourselves yet!" The jock said, firmly shaking her hand "I'm Cho Sukoshi! And people say I'm the Ultimate Football Player!"
"Nice! To! Meet! You!" Sakura said between being shakes "Please! Stop! Shaking! Me!"
The smiling boy chuckles "I'm Hibiki Yabe. And I'm the Ultimate Comedian."
'Yet your first joke didn't make anyone laugh...' Sakura thinks to herself. "So all of us came to Hope's Peak. Then...doesn't that mean we are IN Hope's Peak?"
"Wouldn't we remember walking into the building then?" Hibiki asked. "I just kinda...woke up here"
"Maybe its some sort of test?" Cho asks "Test us as Ultimates?"
"I suppose that IS a possibility..." Hiroto thinks. "Though...that seems VERY intense."
"Well we ARE special students. An easy test wouldn't prove anything" Sakura said "The question is...what do they want us to do for this test? Find the exit?"
"Maybe?" Cho asks "If that's the case, we should just keep walking. We'll find it eventually". The others agree as Sakura moves on to the next area
Right Hall
Upon entering the other hall she sees the familiar face of Bakubaku along with the red headed boy and the snake haired boy
"This building's design is like a maze. It doesn't make sense to have this many twists and turns for a school" The red haired boy said.
"I could help clear it up if I brought my demotion equipment with me..." Bakubaku sighs
"Pretty sure they would have just confiscated it even if you did" Snakehaired kid says. Sakura walks up to them
"Hello" She says "I do not believe we have met yet?"
"Oh!" Red haired kid says "I'm Ren Kesseki. My talent is being the Ultimate Architect"
"Ultimate Architect? So like those guys who design buildings to be made"
"That's right. I can tell the structure of a building fully by walking around for a bit. For example I can defiantly tell this is a school. The number of rooms with chairs, the cafeteria we were just in, I even found a room that looks like it was used for performances"
'That must have been the room with the stage I saw' Sakura thinks "Amazing that you can come to conclusions like that"
"Yeah" he rubs his head "Though I don't get this layout much. The corridors all lead to other corridors. Some of the rooms even connect to other rooms. Its not like any school I've been in"
"Well...if it IS Hope's Peak then maybe they thought a complex system would make sense?" Snake Haired Boy suggests "Its like the gods challenging a warrior with a tough battle"
'Gods?' Sakura thinks "Sorry...who are you?"
"Right, where are my manners" The Snake Haired Boy face palms "I'm Arthur Mogami, and I'm the Ultimate Mythology Fanatic. Talk to me about ancient myth and I can go on for hours! Its all so fascinating! Stories of gods and heroes! Curses and monsters!" Arthur continued to ramble on about mythological creatures and stories as Bakubaku looks at Sakura
"You should leave. He's not going to stop anytime soon" He says. Sakura takes his advice and leaves.
'So the structure is weird? If this is a test then maybe its suppose to be an escape room?' Sakura leaves into one of the rooms in the hall
Classroom
Upon entering the room, Sakura was met with desks and chairs all neatly made. Sitting in one was the reading girl. She walks over "Hello"
"..."
"...um. I'm Sakura and I'm the ultimate lawyer"
"..."
"...so...what's your name?" Sakura asked.
"..."
'Does this girl even notice I'm here!?' Sakura thinks to herself 'Hm?' She notices the girl scribbling on a piece of paper and hands it to her. It reads
"Kiyomi Kadokawa - Ultimate Bookworm"
"Ultimate Bookworm? Does that mean...you read a lot?"
"..."
"...You know. I like crime novels"
"!" Kiyomi looks up "What's your favorite?"
"Oh! You can talk!" Sakura was caught off guard "My favorite is this one called 'The Perfect Crime' Its the one about-"
"I didn't like it" She says "it was too predictable..."
"Oh..." The two girls went back to the awkward silence. Not knowing what else to do Sakura slowly backed out of the room
Gymnasium
Sakura wandered around for a bit before coming to a large, open room reminiscent of a school gym. Inside she saw the final 4 classmates she has yet to meet: The well fit girl, the darkly dressed girl, the well dressed girl and the pigtail girl.
Well Fit Girl
The girl was panting, the sweat seeping through her shirt and slightly revealing her black bra. "Hello" Sakura said "Are...you okay? You look tired"
"Nah...i'm fine" She says, chugging a water bottle "Just wanted to get a workout in. I'm Ohana Ichimaru, The Ultimate Hiker"
"Um...your bra is-"
"I know. And I also managed to beat off some perverts trying to stare from the hall" She points to a trash can, where Riku groaned
"For the last time...I'm not a pervert..." He coughs
"ouch..." Sakura winced 'Guess Riku was a victim of circumstance'
"Hey you said I looked hot while I was running!" Ohana yelled
"I meant you were sweating a lot! I was concerned!" Riku responds
'...'
"Well regardless. I can tell your not a pervert. So I wont clobber you" Ohana smiles
"Thanks...I think?" Sakura says 'Remind me to watch my mouth around her...'
Well Dressed Girl
"Hi there. I'm Sakura and you are?" Sakura extends a hand to the girl
"Hi there. I'm Sakura and you are?" The girl responds, sounding exactly like Sakura!
"W-what the!?" Sakura steps back as the girl bursts out laughing
"Gotcha!" She said in, presumably, her real voice. "My name is Hana Watanabe. As you just learned, I'm the Ultimate Impressionist"
'No doubt about that...I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone nightmare!' Sakura thinks to herself while checking her pulse. 'how...do you do that?"
"Oh! Well I can perfectly remember any voice I hear and then I just manipulate my vocal cords to talk like them!" She clears her throat and starts talking like Riku "As well as perfectly matching their tone, enunciations, and even their emotions"
"That's...super impressive"
"Isn't it!" Hana responds with her real voice giggling "Though I...mostly use it for pranking people."
'You mean you've done this to others already!?' Sakura groans
Pigtail Girl
Sakura walks over "Hello. I'm Sakura."
"A new friendly face, name of cherry blossom leaves, beauty and smiles" The girl responds
"...um..." Sakura tilts her head 'Was...that a Haiku?' She thinks
"My name shall be revealed to you. Like the stunning art of the ocean do not let it leave your mind" She says "Hinata Yasai. A name most connected with the title Ultimate Poet"
'Don't see how the ocean connects with that' Sakura thinks "How long have you been doing poetry?"
"Does a man remember how much food he has eaten in his life? Or a bird remember how many times they have flapped their wings?" She asks
"...so you don't remember?" Sakura tilts her head 'She could just be clear...don't see why I have to solve riddles to get to know her'
Sakura then walks over to the final student
Darkly Dressed Girl
"..." The girl glares at Sakua
"Um...did I do something wrong?" Sakura asked 'Hasn't even said a word and I'm already afraid'
"...No threat" She says with a surprisingly deep voice. "You do not appear a threat...so I shall entrust my name to you. I am known as Aijin Tsukuyomi. Let the name burn into your soul as you remember me as the Ultimate Ninja!"
'Ultimate Ninja!?' Sakura steps back 'Between her and the gunslinger why would a school accept talents like this!?'
"I have trusted you with my real name" Aijin says "So do not dare use it against me! Lest I send you to the underworld!"
"Y...Yes ma'am!" Sakura salutes 'Why am I saluting!?'
Just then a bell is heard and a voice comes on the speakers
"Ahem! All students please report to the cafeteria at once! Again, all students please report to the cafeteria!"
'That voice...is there someone else here!?'
"What are we waiting for!" Ohana yelled "Last one to the cafeteria is a rotten egg!" Sakura watched the others leave as a feeling entered the pit of her stomach
'Why...do I have such a bad feeling about this?'
