Chapter Text
"Uh... What's going on?" Leon asked in a tired voice.
He slowly lifted his head and rubbed his eyes, after which he noticed something strange...
"What the... Am I in a classroom?" He asked, looking around the room.
Looking around he takes note of a few things.
(Okay, desks checked. Chairs checked. cupboards check. A chalkboard check. Teachers desk check. Clock reading 8:00 AM check, check, and check.)
From the look of things it seemed like a normal classroom, that was until Leon noticed the giant steel plates on the windows. That... is weird.
"Why are there... Hmm, maybe I can move them!" Leon says as he places his hands on the metal plate in front of him. "Alright Kuwata, time... to...!" Pulling with all his might, Leon...
Gave up after 5 seconds. They were too hard.
"Fuck my hands, man...!" Leon said. "Hmm? What's this?" Leon asked as he notices a piece of paper on his desk. Opening it up, it says the following:
The Hope's Peak Welcoming Ceremony Shall Begin At 8:00 AM.
"Hope's Peak? . . . Oh yeah, I got a letter saying I was accepted into there as the..." Leon pauses as he lets out a groan. "Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ultimate Baseball Star..."
Putting the letter away, Leon makes his way to the door and goes into the hallway, where he bumps into someone.
WHAM
"Ahh!" Said both Leon and an unknown but clearly a girl's voice.
After rubbing his head, Leon lifts his head up and makes eye contact with the girl he bumped into.
The girl was on the floor, also rubbing her head. Looking the girl over, she was wearing what seemed to be a school uniform, a pick ascot around her neck, ripped leggings around her, well, leg, and last but not least hair that style had horns of all things on her head.
(Is she some sort of demon anime girl? Because if that's the case, I'm dead and this is heaven in hell cause damn she's fine!)
"Ah-! Crap, sorry, are you okay?" Leon asks as he holds out his hand towards her. She takes it.
"Eh, Ibuki's fine. Ibuki just didn't expect someone to show up and knock her down, is all." The girl, named Ibuki possibly, said as she took Leon's hand.
(Ibuki, huh? Guessing that's her name. Still, I should ask her name anyway)
"So, uh... Um... WHATCHA NAAAAAAAAYME?" Leon asked, in a clearly nervous and panicked way. Ibuki chuckles at this, and points her left index finger towards him.
"Gimme an I!" She asks.
"Uh... I?" Leon said, clearly confused.
"Gimme a Buki!"
"Buki?"
"Gimme a Mio!"
"Mio." Leon said, starting to get bored.
"Gimme a Da!"
"Da, okay you know what? Just tell me your damn name already, no point in-" Leon says, having enough of this, but is cut off by the horned girl.
"Put it together and whadda ya get?"
(Fuck this. I'm not playing along)
"..." Leon remains silent.
"That's right! Ibuki Mioda!! The Ultimate Musician!!! At your service!!!!
IBUKI MIODA: ULTIMATE MUSICIAN.
(Ultimate Musician, huh. Maybe I can ask for some pointers on how to become good at the guitar.)
"Ya know, you could've just said what your name is and not do all... That, ya know?" Leon says, half-serious and half-amused.
"Oh, but where's the fun in that?" Ibuki asks, looking confused.
(Shit, she has a point.)
"..."
"..."
Silence.
"..."
"..."
(Say something Kuwata!!!)
"So... Ultimate Musician?" Leon asks, scratching his head. Ibuki perks up.
"Yeah, that's Ibuki's Ultimate Talent. What's yours?" Ibuki asks, as she puts up a peace sign.
(Crap! She wants to know about my talent! What do I do, what do I do????????)
"Oh, uh, talent? Um, well, you see, the thing is, I... I... I-I-I-I-I."
"..."
"... I. . . Don't remember it." Leon says, lying to her.
"Wow, another one? First Kyoko, then Hajime, next Rantaro, and now you? Why do so many people forget their own talent?" Ibuki says, scratching her head in confusion.
(Wait... There are others who can't remember their talent? Also, that raises another question...)
"There are other people here?" Leon asks, to which Ibuki nods.
"Yep! As a matter of fact..." Ibuki turns around, and then yells out. "HEY GUNDHAM, I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!" She screams, to which Leon covers his ears.
"Christ! Did you had to yell that loud?" Leon asks, to which Ibuki nods.
"Ultimate Musician, remember? Ibuki needs to yell to practice her vocal cords." Ibuki says.
"... So... Who did you call anyway?
"That would be I, mortal." A deep, deep voice said from behind Ibuki. Ibuki moves out of the way so Leon can look at him.
The man was wearing a leather trenchcoat, along with a long purple scarf. His face was the most pale looking face Leon had ever seen and his forearms were cover in long bandages. With him, weridly enough, were four hamsters. Two were sitting on his left shoulder while the other two were on his right one.
(Who the hell is this guy?)
"Ibuki, who is this?" Leon asked. The man, who might be the Gundham Ibuki was calling to, looked offended.
"Who is this? Who. Is. This? Get on your knees and bow before me, mortal!" He demanded.
"No." Leon plainly said.
"Hmm. So you won't bow before me, then perhaps I should call upon my Four Dark Devas of Destruction to make you bow!" The guy says, striking a pose, which his hamsters take part in.
"You mean your hamsters? Ibuki, is this guy on drugs?" Leon asks, to which Ibuki remains silent, much to his annoyance.
"Hmm. So, you still aren't scared. I admire your determination. Very well then, as a reward, I shall reveal to you my name and power." He says.
(Finally, thought I have to become his hamsters slave before learning this dude's name.)
I, am, Gundham Tanaka! The supreme overload of ice! Or, as you mortals call me, The Ultimate Breeder of Animals!" Gundham says, crossing his arms and looking at Leon with something between being impressed and wanting to end him.
GUNDHAM TANAKA: ULTIMATE BREEDER.
"So, what is your name?" Gundham asks.
"Leon. Leon Kuwata. And before you ask, no, I don't remember my talent. I guess you could call me the Ultimate question mark?" Leon says, laughing at his own joke.
"Leon Kuwata." Gundham says, softly chuckling. "Leon Kuwata. The 48th student. Who was lying hidden, somewhere in this school. The one they call the Ultimate Question Mark. Watch out for him. Fuhahahahaha!" Gundham laughs as Leon groans.
"Please tell me everyone else is normal." He asks Ibuki, with pleading eyes.
"Wait and see, Ibuki guess." She says, to Leon's disappointment. "Come on, let's meet up with the other 3." She says towards Gundham and Leon.
"Indeed. Let us meet with them and inform them of our newest question mark!" Gundham says as he walks away, followed by Ibuki. Leon goes after them.
-
"Hey, there you guys are!" A loud voice calls out.
"Yep! We're back, and look who we found." Ibuki said as she moved out of Leon's way so the baseball star could get the look at who they were talking to.
The first guy he saw had some purple hair that was both half up and half down, along with a looked like a gotee. The guy also had a big purple jacket whose insides looked like freaking space, under it was a plain white jacket that looked the same to Leon's jacket, and just like Leon also had a white shirt which had red on it.
"So, who's the new guy?" The gotee guy asked, grinning all the while.
"Leon Kuwata. The 48th student. Who was lying hidden, somewhere in this school. The one they call the Ultimate Question Mark. Watch out for him." Gundham said, earning a glare from Leon and getting a laugh from Purple Guy.
"Hahahahahaha! Alright, wise guy. Looks like I'ma need to one up you. My name is Kaito Momata, Luminary of the Stars. Otherwise known as the Ultimate Astronaut!" Kaito said, raising his fist into the air.
KAITO MOMOTA: ULTIMATE ASTRONAUT.
(Astronaut, huh? Guess that explains the jacket, then.)
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Kaito. Sorry, I don't really know my talent, but I promise, I'm not a bad guy-" Leon says before he's cut off by a very strange person.
"Hmm... Why do all the newer ones seem to forget their memory." The strange guy said, putting his hands all over Leon's upper half.
Looking him over, they guy was wearing an interesting uniform, with a red wristband on his right arm. He was wearing a hat and a mask that was covering half his face. Not to forget his long, dark, beautiful hair. Leon found that the most eye-catching.
(God I need that hair!)
"H-h-h-hey! Back off, creep! Who are you anyway?!" Leon demanded, moving away after finding getting close to another of the same sex uneasy.
"Ah, yes. You must be wondering who I am, correct? Very well, I am Korekiyo Shinguji, the Ultimate Anthropologist. But please, feel free to refer to me as Kiyo." "Kiyo" said as he gave Leon a small bow.
KOREKIYO SHINGUJI: ULTIMATE ANTHROPOLOGIST.
(What the fuck is this guy's deal?)
"Please, ignore Kiyo. Trust me when I say, he's like this with everyone." A third voice said, to which Leon looks over on his right to meet the third and last person there.
The last one was the most normal looking, wearing a blue shirt over a white one, wearing plain pants, having pretty normal shoes. Aside from the ear piercings, the many finger rings and the rope around his right wrist.
(Does anyone in this place look normal?)
"Heya, what's up? Can't remember your talent either, ey?" The green bean asked.
"Yep, and I take it you too?" Leon asked, grinning like a smart ass.
"You bet. Name's Rantaro Amami. The 47th student. Who was lying hidden, somewhere in this school. The one they once called the Ultimate Question Mark. Watch out for him." Rantaro said, smiling while Leon pushed back the need to commit assault.
RANTARO AMAMI: ULTIMATE ???.
"Shall we go back to the gym now?" Kiyo asked. "It only makes sense, now that we found our mystery 48th student, yes?" Kiyo said, crossing his arms and raising his right index finger.
"Yeah, I agree with Kiyo. You ready, Leon?" Kaito asked.
"Warning, they will be more than 16, Man of fire hair." Gundham said, as Leon again resists the urge to punch someone.
"Don't worry, guys. Ibuki's sure Leon can take it, right?" Ibuki says, looking over towards Leon. This made the lying baseball star blush.
"Hmmmmm, I sense a realm of hotness coming from within you, Kuwata. Perhaps this too must be the will of casuaality." Gundham says, chuckling. Leon really doesn't know what to make of this guy. "Very well then, let's us take off. To the gym of Hope's Peak!" Gundham says as he leaves.
"Hey, wait up, dude!" Kaito yells, running after the breeder.
"Kehehehehe, your reactions to everyone else shall be the most amusing, I hope." Kiyo says as he walks away, but not before senting a chill up Leon's spine.
"Well, you coming, Leon?" Rantaro calmly asks as he also walks away with Kiyo.
(Christ, if guys like Gundham and Kiyo are here, what could everyone else be like?)
Suddenly Leon feels a hand on his shoulder. He looks behind to see Ibuki, smiling at him.
"Hey, I know this might seem bad, but I promise. It's not the end of the world if you screw up your introduction to a lot of people, you haven't with us." Ibuki says, for once dropping saying her name in third person.
"yeah... Yeah, you're right. Thanks Ibuki." Leon says, feeling a lot better then before.
"No problem. Now, let's go and catch up to those other four." Ibuki says as she and Leon chase after them.
The question now is...
...
...
...
When shall the killing begin?
