Path of the shinobi (Danganronpa Despair arc x OC)

Ch. 17: Fight between men: Part One

The time has finally come for the Hope's Peak Academy Sports Festival. Everyone is situated in the school's giant backyard, which contains multiple playing fields, running tracks and a lot of free space where all the disciplines can take place. There is a lot of sport equipment placed around the area, markers that mark the playing fields and also lot of chairs and tables with food and water as forms of refreshment. In the center, there is a stage, from which is the festival supposed to be commented. However, no one is currently attending the microphone, as the sound equipment is still being prepared by willing students. 

There is a lot of people attending, either as participants or spectators. Probably all of the Main course classes are participating, all 6 of them. Every class has some space in the huge yard for them to use as training or breather area. Their homerooms are by their side to show them support and give advice. Other teachers are present as well, as spectators of course. When it comes to spectators, there is also a lot of Reserve coursers here. Of course, they cannot participate, but spectating is allowed for them. The festival is actually available for sheer public to attend as spectators, as indicated by few families or groups of (probably) friends from other schools that decided to come take a look and see Ultimates in action. 

The festival did not officially begin yet, as people are still arriving and taking their places in tribunes that are located at the sides of the area. Students that are about to participate are getting warmed up and making short exercises to give better performance. Of course, everyone is wearing their gym uniform. 

Nagito Komaeda is on the scene as well. He is not by the side of his classmates, though. Instead, he is by himself on the tribunes, getting ready to watch his classmates compete. As he tries to find a place to sit, he notices a girl. A girl that he recognized as his upperclassman, who was wearing a typical Main course uniform of brown color, having silverish hair, with her pale complexion being partially hidden by respirator mask of dark color. There is an empty seat right next to her.

Nagito: "Excuse me, Kimura-senpai. Is the seat next to you taken?"

Seiko: "Huh? Komaeda-kun? What are you doing here? *motions him to sit* "

Nagito: " *sits down* Well, I decided to pass this event as a participant and rather just join as a spectator. I have important matters to attend to. What about you? Do you have also a lot of work to do?"

Seiko: "I.... do not. I mean.... my work is progressing well. New drugs are being developed. I just don't feel like participating. There is not much I could do anyway. My place is in the lab."

Nagito: "I am pretty sure there is something you can do to help your class. Not all my classmates are good at sports, but all of them are participating."

Seiko: "Maybe there is. But I don't feel like being useful. I am pretty sure Ruruka feels similar. That is why she told me that she would prefer me to sit here and support her."

Nagito: "Maybe she just wants you to be safe. She knows how sickly you are. You cannot take everything so negatively."

Seiko: " *sigh* Why do you even care?" 

Nagito: "I actually don't know. Maybe I am just in the mood right now. *friendly laugh* "

Seiko: "You knowwhat , Komaeda-kun? I don't believe that you actually have something better to do than attend this festival. Your talent is luck. No offense, but what activity can you actively do with that?"

 Nagito: "That is something that I would prefer to keep to myself. But to give you a hint, it consists of lot of planning and thinking. I am actually thinking about it right now. So everything comes into place."

Seiko: "I don't know how to reply to it, but fine. Do what you want."

This duo couldn't really call themselves friends. More like good acquaintances. They got to know each other few weeks back, when Nagito had a certain request from Seiko. Thanks to her good heart, she naturally accepted. Luckster's request was nothing complicated. He just requested a dose of her healing drug that she developed. He didn't specify for what he needed it. Or if he already managed to use it on someone or something. Seiko thought that maybe he just got it in case he got heavily injured in one of his accidents. The boy has always been cryptic, so she decided to just ignore that part of him. Other than that, he can be a good company.
