Dream Island Academy for the Talented.

This school was everyone's dream high school, and those who were lucky enough to pass a test, they are now a student here.
That's why I'm going there. But not for the reason you'd expect.
I'm here for a 7-day long campaign here to test my skill with 15 other people from all school levels. Because the school just reopened after a 2-year long shutdown, no one knows what happened at that period, though.

All students of Dream Island Academy are assigned as Ultimates. Ultimates, are basically students with talents in which one student is the best at.

From what i've read, Dream Island Academy was formerly a research institute mostly focused on select people who possess extraordinary talent and skill. Over the years, it's converted into a university, then recently into a high school. That still researches student's talents, despite its closure some years ago.

Ah, I hadn't introduced myself, huh?
My name is Liy Switch, and I'm chosen as the Ultimate Negotiator.

Yes, it's a bit weird

Yes, it's a bit weird. But, It's a good talent nonetheless.

I was scheduled to ride on a train to the school, not sure why but I guess it's for safety reasons. I saw there were other students I know here and I don't really want to deal with them, so I sat a bit far away from them. I took out my phone to text to my family that I'm already at the station.
We all waited for a while until the train stopped at the station. We went inside and I sat right next to a window, I like seeing the view of the landscape passing by. Suddenly, a woman appeared, probably a staff member. She had a mostly black attire, and had a megaphone.

"Everyone, take your seats!" She spoke through the megaphone. "I see a student not in a seat!"
"Sorry!" One of the students said.
"You know you can sit anywhere on this train!" The woman added. "Now, this will be a short trip from the station to the school. But we have some food and drinks for you guys to eat during the ride."

I was so focused on listening to the woman that I didn't notice the student from earlier came up to sit next to me. I turn my head to see a girl with... a big bottle on her back? Interesting fashion sense... but also familiar.

"Hey Liy! Long time no see! Can I sit next to you?" She asked. "I reeally don't want to sit alone, hope you don't mind!"

I didn't know how to respond, on one hand, I wanted to sit alone since I want to sit undisturbed. But on the other hand, She took her time to ask me, and I felt bad.

"Yeah, sure." I answered. "It's been a while, Bottle."
"Hehe, thanks!" She thanked me.

"Okay, everyone." The woman spoke up. "Allow me to check all of your tickets!"
She then walked up to everyone to check our tickets. When she walked up to me and the other girl next to me, we held out our tickets and she punched a hole on them. Not sure why she needed to do that, wasn't that practice outdated?

After that, she said for us to have a safe train ride and went off the train.
And the train suddenly took off. The train was filled with murmurs of the students as they took pictures of the view outside, and some of us got up to get some food, Bottle also took a photo of the outside.

I took out my phone to take a quick photo to send it to my friends and parents, texting to them that i'm on my way to the school. I ran my hand through my blue hair as my mom texted me to stay safe during the trip. I told her don't worry about me that much.

Well, I hope my parents won't worry about my safety, It's just for a week...

Right...?

After some time, the train stops at our destination. And everyone got up to go outside. We saw the school itself, although, it was a lot more different than the last time I've been here.
I went to the Academy for an evaluation test, and the school looked more... spacious. With plains of grass spanning across miles and miles of land, with separate buildings surrounding the main building.

But... nevertheless. Now that I'm standing in front of the school. It feels so surreal. As if this was a dream...
As I stepped past the school's gate, a sudden feeling came over me.

I got dizzy, almost as if I were to pass out... I glanced at the other students that were here, they were also dizzy, even with one of them collapsing to the pavement.

And well, I did too. And it all went black.
