Rei Kouki, the Ultimate Host. A boy with a peculiar ultimate talent he'd rather not talk about is given the chance to enroll into Hope's Peak Academy, a school for the extraordinary, but when a school trip goes south, Rei must now attempt to survive...
Waking up from what just happened, I started looking around my cramped surroundings. It seems that I've been stuffed into something like a locker? I thought this kind of stuff only happened in the movies...
"Hello?" I called out, hoping someone could hear me. In response, I could hear a surprise yelp from an unfamiliar voice.
Hopefully I didn't startle them too much...
Before I could speak even further however, the door to the locker had been suddenly opened, and I fell out unceremoniously to the floor.
At least that's what I thought would've happened...
Instead, I had accidentally fallen onto something soft. Picking myself up, I realised that I had accidentally fell ontop of another guy's chest.
And...we both started to lock eyes with each other...awkwardly too....
So much for making a good first impression...
"O-oh, I'm sorry!" I said, as I quickly got myself back up before things got too weird and awkward.
"Oh, don't worry, it's all A-okay!" The stranger replied back at me, and helped me stand up together. I noticed that he seemed to be standing in a way where he's constantly tiptoeing?
"Uhm, you are?" I ask the stranger as I kept a distance away from him. After all, I don't know if he's dangerous or not.
"O-oh! No need to worry, I also woke up ina a locker just like you! Uhm, hi?" The stranger awkwardly said to me
"Hi..." I awkwardly replied back.
"You don't...know what happened either, do you? All we remember was going on a bus before all this happened..." The stranger asked me.
"Well, I remember the bus part. But, yeah I don't remember anything else too."
"I see...same as us then..." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
Wait what does he mean by 'us'?
"Anyways, since we just met, and we'll probably have to explore together..." The stranger did a little drum roll with his knees...
"I'm Hikaru Hoshino! The shining starry-eyed Ultimate Toymaker!" He enthusiastically introduced himself while holding out his hand. "Handshake!?"

That was...a unique introduction. Sudden, too.
"O-oh! You're an ultimate too!" I replied back, as I shook his hand.
"Yeah...I've been making toys ever since I was a kid. Apparently I got really good at it. Most people see toys and their creation as something immature and stuff, but I personally believe it's a craft that takes a lot of hard work, like Roger over here-" The boy began to ramble about his talent while holding up the teddy bear strapped to his waist which I assumed he made himself with his other hand.
