Despair...
A word most know by heart.
Despair isn't as simple as most emotions
Despair...is the complete lack of Hope
Despair is the complete lack of self worth, empathy, and emotions as a whole
Despair...is...

"Hopes Peak Academy" A young, female voice says. This voice belonging a teenage girl with long, light pink hair which has been tied into a ponytail, leaving some bangs in front of her blue eyes and freckled face. She was dressed in a black, unbuttoned suit, white shirt, brown shoes and a red tie. "As the legends say, everyone who has graduated from this school is guaranteed a successful life."
"The school will only except the extraordinary population, known as Ultimates." She looks up, putting down her phone and stares up at the school "My name is Sakura Masayoshi. and I am the Ultimate Lawyer"
"I know it may sound strange that a 16 year old girl like me could bare such a title, but it's true. My father was a lawyer and brought me with him to many of his trials. From there I was able to learn about law and got my law degree at age 10. I am happy with my career, obviously. However, before I start my own law firm I couldn't help but accept the invitation. Despite my research there is actually no known footage of the inside of the building. I suppose I should start heading in right-!?" Despite her best efforts, Sakura couldn't move "W...what's going on!? I...I can't move my body!" She struggles more "What is...happening...my...vision is..." Her eyes begin to flutter "What is...happening. Am I...d...dying?" That was her last thought before her body fell unconscious
'I didn't know what dying felt like. I've heard it was scary...but this...didn't feel right' Sakura thinks to herself 'I'm...not dead. But where...am-'
"Hey! Give her some room she's waking up!" A male voice says
"Okay everyone! Just as we practiced!" Another male voice
"We didn't practice anything!" A female voice yells
"What...the...?" Sakura opens her eyes to find herself lying on the floor of what appeared to be a cafeteria-due to the tables. She sits and looks up, seeing 15 people of all sizes and shapes around her.
From left to right we have...
-A young man with short, clean cut black hair and grey eyes. He was dressed in a brown dress shirt, white undershirt and brown dress pants.
-Another young man, this one with blonde hair that was tied into a ponytail, thick glasses emphasizing his green eyes, a large smile on his face. He was dressed with a simple white t-shirt, blue jean shorts and a single glove on his left hand
-A young woman with long, purple hair and red eyes. She wore a white tank top, blue torn jeans and a cowboy hat and boots, as well as having a holster on her hip. 'Is that a gun!?' Sakura thought
-Another male, this one with very short black hair and yellow eyes. He wears a brown T-shirt, black shorts, a straw hat and a shark tooth necklace
-Another male, this one having long red hair that reached his shoulders and orange eyes. He was more portly then the others around, wearing a white, button up shirt with a blue jacker and blue pants.
-A very large, very muscular man with spikey orange hair and black eyes. He wears a red and white jersey with the number '01' on it and matching red and white track pants
-A young woman who wore a black jacker with a grey trim, black leggings and a black mask and headband, obscuring most of her identity. The only thing that is clear is her black hair and red eyes. Her eyes has black marks under them
-A young woman with long blue hair and green eyes. She wears a white shirt and a black strap dress and fishnet stockings and black heels. She couldn't seem to stop from giggling
-Another young woman, this one having red hair tied in pigtails and light green eyes. She wears a grey turtleneck sweater, green pants, glasses and a heart necklace
-A young man with spiky white hair, grey eyes and a gold earring. he wears a black hoodie with a red trim and dark green cargo pants
-Another young man who was bald and a blue eye. His other eye was covered with an eyepatch as he also wore a blue bomber-style jacket with a green undershirt and black jeans
-A young woman with short white hair and brown eyes. Wearing glasses, a dark blue hoodie and long black pants. She was quietly sat in the corner with her nose in a book, quietly taking glances from time to time
-A young woman with medium length, orange hair and green eyes. her eyes had 2 thin lines that stretched from her bottom eyelid to the bottom of her face. In her hand was a small, wooden puppet wearing a top hat and cape
-A young woman with long, black hair and blue eyes. She was extremely fit for her age, wearing simply a white tank top and blue short jeans.
-Lastly, a young man with blue eyes and blue and green hair that appeared to have been styled into a coiled up snake. He wears a white shirt and beige vest with a black bowtie and beige pants.
"Seems you were just the same as the rest of us" The clean boy says. "We all suddenly woke up in this...place. After wandering for a while we stumbled across you here"
"Are you okay!?" The bulky man yelled "Do you need some water!?"
"Oh! Um no I'm fine. Just..." Sakura holds her head "Where...are we?"
"That's what we want to know!" The woman with the puppet said...only she didn't move her mouth, instead it was the puppet itself.
'None of them know? Didn't they say they wandered around this area?' Sakura thinks as she looks at the sea of strangers before her. 'I should at least try to introduce myself to some people' She thinks and decides on talking to...
The Bald Boy
She approaches the bald, eyepatch wearing boy "Hi I'm-"
"AHAHAHA!" He suddenly starts laughing "Choosing to talk to ME!? You must really have a death wish!" his voice was very rough
"W...what!? No I-"
"Just warning ya! Wherever I go, explosions are sure to follow!" The boy gives another laugh "The name's Bakubaku Hakai! and I am the Ultimate Demolitions Expert!"
"Ultimate Demolitions Expert?" Sakura asked
"Yeah! You know those videos of buildings being destroyed to make way for new buildings? That's my talent!"
"Oh..." 'So your a glorified explosions addict' "Well...my name is Sakura Masayoshi, and I'm the Ultimate Lawyer"
"So...your a professional liar?"
'That's not at all what being a lawyer is about!' She thinks to herself. Bakubaku laughs
"You should have seen the look on your face!"
'...I don't think I'm going to get any farther then this with him' she sighs and decides the next person she will talk to is...
The boy with the hoodie
She walks over to the boy and smiles "Nice to meet you. I'm Sakura Masayoshi and I'm the Ultimate Lawyer"
"Nice to meet you" he says, returning the smile "I'm Riku Yamamoto. And...well"
"What's wrong?"
"Ah. Its nothing. Its just my talent is a bit...odd" He rubs his head "You see...I'm the Ultimate Contestant."
"Ultimate...Contestant?"
"Haha...told you it was weird" He scratches his head "But yeah. Basically...I just do REALLY good on game shows. Trivia, Talent Shows, I was even on that one game show where you have to run the obstacle course."
"Oh yeah...I think I remember seeing you on T.V" Sakura says. Riku chuckles
"Well apparently it was good enough for Hope's Peak. That's why I was accepted"
"Oh? you were excepted into Hope's Peak too?"
"Yeah. In fact all of us were" Riku looks around
'Then...does that mean this place is...'
'...'
'I can get my answers later. For now I should keep introducing myself. lets see...'
Girl with the puppet
She walks over. "Hello there. I'm-"
"eep!" She says cowering behind her puppet.
"Oh now look what you've done!' The puppet yells.
"...excuse me?" Sakura asked
"You scared her dummy!" The puppet flails
"...who are you?" Sakura asked
"Me? I'm Momo. The girl you just scared is Futaba Zenigata, The Ultimate Puppeteer."
"Ultimate Puppeteer? So...she's actually the one talking right now?"
"What you've got cotton in your ears!?" Momo yells "I'm talking right now!"
"M...momo p...please hush..." Futaba says "S...sorry about that. He can get...pretty...scary..."
"um...okay. Well its nice to meet you both regardless" 'Is this chick for real?'
Before she could go to her next introduction, the well kept boy speaks up
"We can continue this later. For now we need to look around some more for some clues"
"Hiroto is right" Riku says "Sorry Sakura. But I'm sure you can properly meet everyone else during our search"
"Right" She nods 'I guess this is more important. But I only got to meet three people...'
"Then let us split into groups" Hiroto says and soon the whole group had disbanded. Sakura sighs
'This is going to be a long day...'
