Sixteen students wake up and find themselves in an abandoned mansion on a deserted island. They were supposed to be attending their first year at Soaring Heights High School. But a mechanical cat is telling them otherwise.
Jiro Kinoshita is one of t...
Jiro didn't like this. Not even a little. He was okay with one or two people talking to him at at time(not really) but when Mizuki dragged him towards the largest group, he felt like he would become overwhelmed again.
Luckily for him, Mizuki took notice of his discomfort and then began pulling him in a different direction.
They ended up in front of a boy who stood away from everyone else. He was leaning against the windowsill quite carelessly.
The boy looked at them at out of the corner of his eye for not even a second then returned to looking out the window at something apparently more interesting.
Mizuki cleared her throat. The boy turned fully towards them, frowning.
"What?"
"We came to introduce ourselves. Like Monokitty said." Mizuki explained.
"Really? Doesn't look like your friend here really cares for this stuff." The boy said, nodding his head towards Jiro, who instantly stiffened.
"Oh, he's just um...shy. Yeah that's all. Anyways, my name's Mizuki Rai. I'm the Ultimate Comedian." She then pointed towards Jiro. "And this is Jiro Kinoshita."
The other boy waited. When it seemed like nothing else was coming, he spoke.
"Don't you need talent to become an Ultimate?" He asked, somewhat knowingly.
"I don't....remember it...." Jiro said, averting his eyes to the ground.
He could feel the other boy still staring at him. It was more than off putting.
"Uh Huh. Okay then. Well, I guess I have to introduce myself too. The name's Nao Windrider. Ultimate Whistleblower. Now can you two leave me alone?"

Jiro forced himself to keep a retort from leaving his mouth.
"Okay...l-let's just move on..." He said, turning towards Mizuki. She nodded and waved goodbye to the 'whistleblower', who didn't even acknowledge her.
This, however, didn't really seem too bother her.
(Received Hope Fragment)
"Hey, Kinoshita-san? Are you alright? You were looking a little pale back there." Mizuki said, looking towards her companion in concern.
Jiro sighed and unconsciously began to scratch the side of his nose again.
"I'm just not very good with people. Especially people like...that." Jiro explain, briefly glancing back at Nao.
Mizuki giggled and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't be intimidated by people like him. I'm almost positive that his last name is completely made up. But I guess that would make sense since he's a whistleblower." She said.
