NAEGI'S POV

I walked near to the gate of the school, the school for the best students. People like the Ultimate-Baseball player Leon, or the Ultimate-Pop Star Maizono. I made sure to do some research about who was attending the school before the entrance ceremony. Some students I couldn't find any information on.

'How did someone who doesn't have a big Ultimate like that get into a school like Hopes Peak High School Main Course?' you might ask. The school pulled one random name to join the school, and I just happened to be that one student. My title is the 'Ultimate-Lucky Student'.

As I walked, I collided into someone else, I stumbled but she fell. Wow, just my luck, huh? "I'm so sorry, I was too preoccupied with how cool the school looked that I wasn't paying any attention to my surroundings." I offered her a hand up. She accepted and stood up.

"It's no problem. I mean the school is amazing, I'm surprised I was even picked to be in it." She smiled at me while bending down to grab her bag.

"You got chosen for Hopes Peak High too? What's your title?" I asked her, kind of glad I knew someone before I officially walked in.

"The Ultimate-Integritist. Yeah, pretty weird. It's pretty much because I can help a group of people without telling a lie if that makes sense. What about you?"

"Not as weird as mine. I'm the Ultimate-Lucky Student. I was randomly selected to be in this school" I answered her with a smile.

"Well, maybe your luck got us to meet so early" She gave me a closed eye smile. I could feel my face turn an unnoticeable pink tint. "My name is (Full Name). Yours?" She asked.

"My name is Makoto Naegi. Nice to meet you" I smiled at her. It's good to know I have a friend at this school already.

We exchanged smiles, then walked together the rest of the way to the school. She was pretty much the same height as me. (Just pretend. He's a short bean. He is 5'3). I'm not gonna lie, she's super pretty. Now that I think about it, I think that I read about her on the school student list.

'(Full name) is 'The Ultimate-Integritist'. Age;15; Birthday (Your Birthday). She has never lied to anyone, and she is the most honourable student in her previous school. She got the best grade and won the state art contest. She has previously helped solve some crimes by giving all of her truthful knowledge of the situation. She adheres to a code of ethics that may make her predictable, but safe to the heart and one's sanity. No unpleasant surprises come from her. She tends to follow a code of ethics that tends to be, incorruptible, and she adheres to principles of common decency.'

Her best trait is integrity. I guess I don't have to worry about her going behind my back or what-not. If anything bad were to happen when we're at this school I know she'll be truthful. I doubt something bad will happen anyway.

I let a relaxed sigh and continued to walk with the (hair colour) haired girl. It was silence, but it wasn't a bad silence, no. It was a calming; peaceful silence.

We reached the front door, taking a few steps inside the place. "Wow! Look at this place! It's beautiful!" (First Name)'s eyes sparkled. A smile grew on her face

"I know, right?" I smiled at how happy and in awe she was from the architecture of this school that we somehow managed to get picked to attend.

She adored the building a bit more, and just when I thought I was getting lucky, and having a peaceful moment, I see (First Name) start to lose balance.

I walk up to her and put my hand on her shoulder. "You alright?" I ask her.

"I-I don't feel so good. Everything seems to be spinning. I.." And with that, she lost consciousness.

"(First Name)!" I caught her before she could hit the ground. I sat down with her head on my leg. "What could have made her lose consciousness?" I ask myself aloud. I could feel myself slowly lose consciousness as well. "Come on Makoto. Stay awake. You need to get (First Name) inside." But it was too late. I too fell unconscious.

(A/N) - Thank you so much for reading the beginning of 'Losing to Despair'! I just recently got into the game/anime and I'm already obsessed with it. I couldn't find many long Naegi x Reader books, so I thought that I could try to create one for people to enjoy. My updating my be slow at the moment of creating this because I have semester finales to prepare for and what-not. I will for sure try to update it during my Winter Break! I can give you a small peek of the updating schedule might be.
