Hope's peak days | SOUDAM

The first morning

|Gundham POV|
I awoke to the lovely sound of birds chirping outside my window. Only to then be greeted by a significantly less lovely racket from the hallway. People shouting...
"Cmoooon coach! One little fight please!"
"No Akane! For the last time I am not going to fight you, it is far too early for something like that!"
Oh, must be the two meatheads I got neighbored with. Why am I not shocked? Whatever, I'll block them out I suppose.
I walked to my Deva's cage and refilled their bowl before giving each of them a snack. Perhaps today I'd take them around the school, we should get acquainted with the area I suppose. My Deva's must know the layout in order to properly pull off any schemes I may have in the future.

I put on a fresh set of clothes, jeans and a black hoodie with my favorite band's logo on the back. After putting on a new look I grab the cage and walk to the door, I decided to not do anything with my hair today and let it rest to the side. My mother usually preferred it when it looked like this. I pushed open my door and tried to sneak off from the chaos, but alas
"Yo! Hamster guy!" The, obnoxious, woman yelled
"It's, Gundham..." I sigh and turn to look at her "what do you want, I was going to go on a walk"
"Just wanted to say hi! But a walk sounds good me and Nekomaru will join you!"
"I would rather be alone..." I groaned
"Well I'm coming anyways!"
Of course she is
"I'll stay back, I still need to finish unpacking" the man said turning to go back to his room, he at least seemed respectful. Then I heard another voice in the hall
"Did you two say you were going for a walk? May I join you?"
Oh, it was Sonia, alright then, I can allow her to accompany me at least, I do actually quite enjoy her company
"Alright" I nod "but let's just get moving before anyone else tries to invite themselves" I turn and walk towards the stairwell. There were many interesting "ultimates" as the school called them. Many talents that seemed, more spectacular than mine.
Obviously I don't believe in that, my role in the world is far superior to whatever any of these buffoons have going for them... but they will likely garner greater success. Not that I care though... but I do bet a human parental figure would be much prouder to have procreated the ultimate chef or the ultimate detective rather than... the ultimate breeder.
Whatever. Why do I even care? My mother is proud of me... not that I care if she's proud anyways... why am I thinking about this so hard?

Akane interrupted Gundham's deep thought "So are we just walking around the school or-"
Gundham seemed to snap back and look at her "huh? Yes yes, I just wanted to get acquainted with the environment that is all"
Sonia smiled "well now it can be bonding time for the three of us! Instead of just a boring walk"
Gundham sighed and shook his head "yes, lucky me" he reached the last flight of stairs and walked through the door, now in the main school building "seems empty..." he mumbled as he walked through the halls
"Eh, everyone's probably sleeping still, lazy bums" Akane said looking at the different class rooms "Man they got a room for everything in this school don't they?"
Sonia looked at her "well I assume it's to allow for every ultimate to thrive in at least one class"
Akane shrugged "meh, I just need the gymnasium and me and Nekomaru will be set!" She suddenly stopped and put her hand on her stomach groaning "you think they have breakfast out?"
Gundham sighed "it is 8 in the morning, I'm sure there is breakfast woman"
Akane laughed "yeah you're probably right" she said already running off for the cafeteria

     |Gundham POV|
Well, I at least lost the annoying one. Sonia isn't so bad. I can deal with her.
While she and I walked down the hall I saw Soda again, walking with those two other ones he was with the other day. Sonia smiled and waved to them but I didn't pay much mind, I only really noticed them when I heard Soda make a comment about my hoodie after passing by us
He said "Huh, I didn't know you liked the cure... makes sense though"

... what does that idiot mean "makes sense" makes sense what?! That I'd have good music taste? Well of course I do! Or is this moron trying to imply I fit into some sort of stereotype based off of my appearance or behavior?... why do I care?

       |Soda POV|

I walked down the halls with Chihiro and Chiaki. They were talking about some fighting game I never heard of. Why don't they ever talk about games normal people play? Weirdly I kinda feel like a third wheel here, I'm not really contributing much to any conversation. But whatever, we kept walking until, surprisingly we came across some other people, of course with my luck, Sonia and Gundham...
Sonia smiled and waved when we crossed paths, she smiled and waved? At me!? No no couldn't have been at me, she was probably just doing it to be nice... when we passed I noticed Gundham was wearing a hoodie with the cure's logo on the back. I didn't know he listened to them. I mean it makes sense, being that he's, y'know- how he is. I made a comment about it, but I think I just annoyed him further by saying it-

I just wanted to continue my walk until Sonia decided to ask "hey! Do you three want to come to the cafeteria with us to get breakfast?"
I was- uncomfortable with the plan, but of course Chihiro decided to accept the invitation. So we walked with them to the cafeteria

When we all sat down at a table I noticed a, very aggressive woman gorging herself on the lunch line "... friend of yours?"
"Oh yes! That's Akane, she joined me and Gundham for our walk"
I turned my head to look back at the group and Gundham was staring at me- but I couldn't tell if he was mad or not
"Tanaka... you, changed your hair?"
"Yes well, I wasn't planning on seeing anybody so I didn't style it this morning"
"Oh... well... I like it- kinda looks nice" I mumbled... why did I say that?

My comment seemed to put a smug smile on his face though "HA!" He shouted crossing his arms "of course it looks nice, my natural charms know no bounds, even a fool like you can see that, why, my mother says that when I popped out of her womb I was the most entrancing baby girl she'd ever seen!"

That comment was enough to get Chiaki to lower her console and look at Gundham "oh-"
