 ❝WHAT A BOTHER. IT'S SO EARLY...

[NAME] complained under their breath as they blocked their eyes from the rays of the sun from blinding them. Even their snake, Casper, had trouble adjusting to the light from its place on their shoulders.

They dragged themselves from the sidewalk to the opposite side and walked towards the entrance of the large school. Sure, it was close to the first bell and first class, but they didn't care much. Nobody would really mind if one teen was late, right? First day, nobody really cares.

Then, they caught sight of a figure in front of them. It was an awfully short kid- lowkey scrawny, even. At least, compared to them. He had short brown hair and pretty pale. He had a jacket over a hoodie, and you could see a little bit of his shirt sticking out the ends. He also wore black-ish sweatpants and some really red sneakers.

"...I wonder if someone like me can survive in a place like this..." He mumbled, unaware of the other's presence.

He was only alerted when there was a sudden hiss emitting from behind him, causing him to jump and snap his gaze back at the person behind him. He had to tilt his head up to catch the face of the other, who had a small, interested smile on their face. As if they were looking at a specimen, a plant of unknown origin, a new subject to study.

What truly captured attention was the large black snake with red eyes that was curled around their shoulders, alert and staring down at him. It stared at him as if he were prey, sending a shiver up his spine. Then he looked at the other person with a small, nervous grin. 

"Don't be afraid. Casper doesn't bite.. often." They reassured him and tilted their head to the side as they narrowed their eyes in an amused manner. They enjoyed seeing the new boy nervous from their almost harmless snake.

They held their hand out to him, a friendly gesture, which he took and shook. During so, he introduced himself with a friendly smile.

"My name is Makoto Naegi! Are you going to attend Hope's Peak Academy too?" Makoto asked with a curious smile and slight tilt of his own head, an action he himself was not aware he did, but [NAME] was now.

"I am. My name is [NAME] [L.Name], Ultimate Herbalist." After the handshake, they were the first to release the boy's hand. "Pleasure to meet you. Mind if I ask what your Ultimate is?" They inquired.

"Oh, yeah, haha!" He scratched the back of his neck bashfully as he glanced down and admitted, "It's not much, but I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student."

"Is that so.. I've never heard of such a talent before," They admitted, a flash of surprise in their eyes before it turned into intrigue. "How did you gain such a title?"

"Well you know about the lottery enrollment online, right? Yeah, my name got pulled!" He said happily. 

'What an energetic and optimistic boy,' [NAME] thought as they gave him a hum of acknowledgement.

Then, they remembered their own acceptance call. They paused before deciding to ask, "When you got your acceptance call, did you hear anything odd at the end?"

"Hm? I didn't get a call, I got a letter.." He mumbled as he looked up at them curiously. 

"Really..?" They nodded slowly before shaking their head and giving a polite smile. "Nevermind that, then. We should enter before we're later than we already are, Makoto." They skillfully changed the topic.

"Ah! You're right! Let's go, [NAME]!" It worked on the now frantic boy, who began to speed-walk toward the school, only breaking out into a run when he saw [NAME] following behind him at a leisurely pace.

Yet, the moment he stepped inside, a sudden wave of nausea hit him and the school spun around him. Like delusion warping with reality. 

[NAME] stepped in soon after, but were not affected immediately like Makoto was. They tilted their head as Casper hissed and began to act up too, and as they focused on their reptilian pet, Makoto stumbled back and bumped directly into them.

"Uff— What's up with you?" They mumbled as they pushed him back onto his feet before the feeling hit then too, causing their hold on the other boy to falter and they both fell. 

"What the actual f— ow!" They held their head and let go of Makoto, letting him fall limply on the floor beside them as their view warped, spun, and overall bothered them so much that they shut their eyes. Then, they didn't open them again for a long while.

 ❝PRETTY BOY, GET UP. YOU'RE LATE.

A voice woke Makoto out of his sleep, his arm instinctively wiping away the drool from his mouth as he groggily sat up in his chair. It took him awhile to realize his surroundings and the person beside him who was light shaking him.

"H-huh? Wait.. [NAME]?! Where's everyone else..?" He asked as he suddenly stood up from his chair, pushing it back with his sudden force and causing [NAME] to jerk their hand away from him.

"Gym. Hurry up, you're already late." They replied as they grabbed him from his hood. He was shocked, a little afraid, and was staring at his surroundings as they dragged him out of the room and down to the gym.

"W-why is everything suddenly so bright and colorful? What is up with the hallways?" He asked, rambling to himself, not an answer coming from the other who was still pulling him behind them.

They let go of him after a while and he stumbled before standing up and turning to the double doors they stood infront of. Instinctively, he grabbed the back of their overall, like a kid hiding behind their parent. They didn't pay mind to his action as they pushed the doors open and he realized..

Everyone was already there.

In front of the two stood fifteen others, also all teens. They turned to look at the source of the sound, putting you two in the spotlight.

"I found him," [NAME] said off-handedly, as if they were already well-acquainted with the others. Their eyes went from them to the person hiding behind them. He nervously smiled and waved at them all, nervous from the overwhelming attention now directed at him.

"More people? Is this all?"

"I think so. This makes sixteen of us overall." Another voice replied, but you hadn't really bothered to locate who said them as you turned to look at Makoto.

"You good?"

"Mhm.."

"Nervous?"

"...a little."

"...you're literally quivering."

"...a lot."
