Your group of classmates walked into the cafeteria, looking around and taking in the surrounding scenery of bustling activity and loud chatter.
"I wonder why all the tables are labeled.." you murmured to yourself, wincing a bit at the uproar of students.
"It's probably to introduce everyone to their class," Makoto replied, leaning over and pointing to a table by the window. "Look! I think that's our's!"
You followed his finger, unsurprised to find Junko, but astonished to see Chihiro. Following Taka, Mondo, and Makoto to the table, you decided against sitting with strangers. You sat between Chihiro and Byakuya.
"Chihiro, I didn't know you were in my class," you obtained the girl's attention, smiling a bit when she recognized you. "I'm the Ultimate Empath! What about you..?"
"The Ultimate Programmer," Chihiro blushed, gripping the edge of her skirt in embarrassment. "..It doesn't sound as cool as the Ultimate Empath though.."
"—N-Nonsense..!" You panicked, a bashful expression painted on your face. "My talent is purely mental ability. You can actually create things!"
Chihiro didn't respond, instead murmuring a few incomprehensible words that you couldn't quite make out. Deciding to leave her alone for the time being, you turned to glance at Byakuya, who absentmindedly stared off into the distance.
"Byakuya?" You prodded at the Ultimate Affluent Progeny's shoulder, brow raising when he didn't react. "..Byakuya!"
"You don't have to shout," Byakuya huffed, glancing at you with an annoyed frown. "What do you want?"
"I was just wondering how the unpacking went," you shrugged softly. "The view is amazing, isn't it?"
"..I suppose it is," Byakuya responded, his figure relaxing into a slight slump as he spoke. "Too many commoners walking nearby though."
