You had decided to stay behind on the beach to watch the guy who fainted. The pale guy also decided to stay behind so that you wouldn't be alone. He introduced himself as Komaeda Nagito.

Komaeda Nagito, Ultimate Lucky Student

He told you to just call him Nagito since he apparently didn't deserve to use honorifics. You couldn't help but feel worried about him since he had a bit of an inferiority complex.

You were sitting on the sand, holding the other boy's head on your lap in an attempt to give him a more comfortable place to lay his head. After what felt like an eternity, he started to stir around. When he opened his eyes, the first thing that he saw was you.

"Are you alright? You fainted while Usami was talking..." You uttered, your voice soft.

He yelped in surprise, his face turning a soft shade of red. He quickly sat up and looked around, seeming pretty out of it.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay?" Nagito asked him.

"... Leave me alone," he replied, seeming a bit irritated.

"I don't think that would be a good idea..." You said. You tried to check his temperature by placing your hand on his forehead, but he slapped it away. "Ah! Sorry... I didn't mean to come off as pushy..." You uttered, rubbing your hand as you looked away.

"Hitting a girl... Not cool," Nagito said, shaking his head.

"Shut up..." The guy said.

"Um... So... what's your name...?" You asked him.

"Huh...? Oh... Hinata Hajime..."

Hinata Hajime, Ultimate ???

"It's nice to meet you, Hinata! I'm Komaeda Nagito, and this is L/N
Y/N," Nagito introduced, "I guess I'll also tell you about my talent so you know why Hope's Peak Academy chose me. Well, even if I tell you, in my case, it's a pretty disappointing talent... Nowhere near as amazing as L/N-chan's."

"Don't say that, Nagito...! It's a very good and useful talent...! And, please, call me Y/N," You said, trying to cheer him up.

He chuckled and looked at you appreciatively.

"You don't have to lie to me, but thanks anyway." He then turned back to Hajime. "I'm lucky."

"... What are you talking about?" Hajime asked, narrowing his eyes.

"It's not a joke or anything... That's my actual talent. I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student... At least, that's what I'm called anyway."

"Ultimate Lucky Student?"

"Through a country-wide lottery, apparently only one ordinary student is selected at random to attend Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Lucky Student. And that lucky winner just so happened to be me. Like I said before, it's nowhere near as great as Y/N's talent! She's the Ultimate Florist! Isn't that just amazing?!"
