Hope's Peak Academy...

A private school where students are scouted and given a title for their talents.

Ultimate Idol, Ultimate Baseball Pro, Ultimate Programmer, and an acquaintance of mine, The Ultimate Gambler.

Once you've graduated at this school, you're all set for life; never have to worry about anything else.

Regular students would die just to attend a school such as this one.

Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet; My name is Y/N L/N, and according to the letter they sent me; my title is: The "Ultimate Information Broker".

Nothing surprising about the title I was given, considering my line of work and how I do things.

You would think that receiving an invitation from Hope's Peak is a big deal, right? That they just want to raise "Beacons of Hope" in order for said Beacons to carry the future,

But if we think outside of what they tell us, why exactly do they feel the need to recruit students who especially excels at a certain thing?

It can be drawn to multiple conclusions; the most basic one is to believe that they indeed want to raise students to be the so-called "Beacons of Hope"

There's also another conclusion which is alot more troubling...

Maybe they're trying to combine the talents through data they've collected from each students' schools. The question is: for what purpose?

As an Information Broker, I'm obligated to myself to answer this question, and what I've found so far fell short due to Hope's Peak's intense security. Heck, even the source of that security is unknown, for now.

Surprisingly, I lack information, and, of course, I needed more, and to get such info, I accepted the title of "Ultimate Information Broker" and decided to attend the school.

Luckily, my data is rather scarce for them too, which probably brought them to decide on my talent as an Information Broker due to how well-kept my own Information is.

As I took my first step towards the school, I felt and saw my whole life change...

...no matter how hard I think about it...it would've never crossed my mind that this is how things are gonna turn out to be.

[Y/N's POV]

7:00am...

I had already been awake, but stayed inside a classroom I found myself in.

Windows are sealed tight with steel platings and huge bolts and and screws, a surveillance camera is keeping a close eye on things, and, of course, a message scribbled on paper using crayons.

"Oh, how miserable."

My 10 cellphones from people that I “borrowed”, my flickblade, and my throwing knives are all gone, what's left are my playing cards,

To which I'm using to build a tower in order to pass the time.

Time seemed to pass faster than I thought it would, and it soon hit "8:10am"

"So it begins..."

Making my way to the gym is nothing short of boring, the halls are empty, and there's nothing of interest so far.
