Gatemistress Momoki: (from across the room) Who are you?

Aika: (to Momoki) Who were you talking to, Momoki?

Gatemistress Momoki: (nervously) I don't know, Aika. I just felt someone watching us.

?: (smirks) I'm nobody, just an observer. I've been watching over you from the beginning.

Gatemistress Momoki: (skeptical) Who are you, and what do you want?

Seiko: My name's Seiko Kadokura. I'm part of this academy too, and I want to be an idol who sings pop songs. I also know martial arts, so I can protect myself if needed.

Gatemistress Momoki: (nods) Welcome to Saku Academy, Seiko. I'm glad to have you here.

Seiko: (smiles) Thank you, Momoki. I can't wait to start my journey to become an idol!

Nini: B-But... if you mean that you know martial arts, does that mean you can beat all of us up?

Seiko: (laughs) Of course not, Nini. I just do that for self-defense.

Aika: (curious) Seiko, what kind of pop songs do you like to sing?

Seiko: (enthusiastic) I love singing catchy and upbeat pop songs. Songs that make people feel happy and energetic.

Rotasu: (excited) That's great! We could totally perform together sometime!

Seiko: (smiling) I'd love that. It would be so much fun.

Kabe: (intrigued) Seiko, you mentioned you know martial arts. How did you end up at Saku Academy?

Seiko: (blushing) Well, you see, I've always had a passion for singing and performing, but my family has a long tradition of martial arts. They wanted me to follow in their footsteps, so I started training from a young age. However, deep down, my heart yearned for a different path - to be an idol. So, when I heard about the Aikatsu Start auditions, I couldn't resist the opportunity.

Nini: (impressed) That's brave of you, Seiko. Following your dreams, even against family expectations, takes a lot of courage.

Seiko: (nodding) It wasn't easy, but I knew it was the right decision for me. And I'm glad I took this chance.

Gatemistress Momoki: (smiling) Seiko, your determination and talent will be valuable assets in this academy.

Nini: (enthusiastic) Let's all do our best together and support each other on this journey!

Rotasu: (nodding) That's right! We're all here to learn and grow as idols.

Kabe: (confident) Count me in too! I may be different, but I'm eager to see where this path takes me.

Aika: (softening) I guess I could use some help in improving my performances too.

Gatemistress Momoki: (pleased) Excellent! With that spirit, you will all go far.

[The group spends the next few days practicing and bonding together. They attend classes on singing, dancing, and various performance techniques. Along the way, they meet other aspiring idols, make new friends, and face challenges that push them to improve.]
