The Ultimate Enigmatologist

Chapter one: The Ultimate Students (part 1)

"Ugh" you groan as you sit up. Where the hell am I? You mentally exclaim as you find yourself sitting at a wooden desk in a foreign classroom.

You stand up immediately and look around. What the hell is up with this place? You think to yourself, noticing the thick metal sheets covering what should be the windows and the complete absence of any other living being.

You walk around until you reach the teacher's desk.

"What a strange detail." You think out loud as your fingers trace over a large plastic button on the underside of the dark wood desk. Then you hear something that causes you great relief.

"W-what the hell!?" A male voice rings out. You peer out the door and the hallway. You see the next door classroom's door bust open and out falls a orange-haired male rushes out, wide-eyed.

He has probably dyed orange spiked hair, a goatee, and pale blue eyes.

He's wearing a white blazer jacket with a popped collar, a white shirt with a red grunge skull design, dark blue jeans, and white platform shoes with a black sole. He accessorizes with a padlocked chain necklace, two overlapping studded belts, rings, and an oversized safety pin on his lapel. He has several piercings like his tongue, and six in his right ear.

It might be weird that you take in every detail possible, but considering your ultimate talent, it isn't surprising. In order to solve him, you need to analyse him.

"Psst!" You whisper shout, causing him to look at you, the shock still present on his face. "Well? Come on then!" You whisper shout once more, motioning for him to come into the classroom you woke up in.

He realises what you mean, and hesitantly walks in. You look in both directions of the hallway, before you close the door and turn to the stranger.

"Hey. Are you okay?" You question, noticing he still looks perturbed. He nods quickly before asking you a question. "Where are we?

"No idea. I just woke up in here a few minutes ago." You respond honestly. He nods along for a second, eyebrows furrowed.

He then turns to you, hand outstretched. "Leon Kuwata." Cogs turn in your head after his introduction. You had looked up a few students. Not many though, you just wanted to see what type of ultimates there were.

"So you're the famous ultimate baseball player?" He nods.

"I'm Yn Ln. The ultimate Enigmatologist." You shake his hand before explaining your train of thought.

"Since we are both ultimates I'm assuming this isn't random. I was outside Hope's Peak Academy a little while ago... maybe the other students are here too." You explain to him. "Do you think this is some kind of prank?" He questions as you open the door, peering into the hall again.

"No idea. But I'm leaning towards no. This is way too elaborate. Plus I'm getting this ominous feeling." You remark as you turn back to face him.

"You wanna look around?" He asks, noticing you keep eyeing the hall. You nod excitedly before grabbing his forearm and dragging him out of the classroom.

The two of you walk around, staying cautious, and open every door you come across. So far you have found no one.

"What's up with all the cameras?" He inquires, pointing at the ceiling. Not having noticed those, your eyes widen. "They're active too. Someone is watching us." You whisper back to him. Both of you look at the security camera for a moment, before continuing your search.

You stop dead in your tracks after hearing a noise from one of the doors in the next hallway you've just crossed into.

You and Leon look at each other, and nod.

With no second thought you bust open the door, and freak out the current occupant of that room.

"Who the fuck are you?" The stranger demands.

He has slightly tanned skin and a tall, muscular build which gives him a bulky figure. He wears his hair as a dark-brown punch perm with a styled-1960s pompadour. His pompadour is approximately fourteen inches when compared with his shoulder width which can be estimated to be around fourteen inches. He has a deep-ridged black eye-line circling his purple eyes, which gives him an intimidating appearance.

He's got a high-collared black long overcoat, adorned with some sort of symbol along with kanji and dragon symbol motifs colored orange on the back and side which is worn open over a white A-shirt. He's wearing baggy black pants held up by a belt and his shoes are white loafers. 

Leon steps into the room and looks the stranger up and down in confusion. He doesn't look like an ultimate student. He doesn't look like a student at all. You reflect, not realising that you were narrowing your eyes in suspicion.

"Answer my damn question!" He demands once more. Leon lets out a 'Tch' and this time, doesn't put out his hand when he introduces himself.  "Leon Kuwata. Ultimate Baseball Star." He says, arms crossed and without eye contact.

You on the other hand, outstretch your hand and smile at the stranger. "Yn Ln. Ultimate Enigmatologist." You say with a smile. Noticing his confusion, you expand a bit. "Ultimate puzzle solver."

He nods and shakes your hand. "Mondo Owada. Ultimate biker gang leader." He says. That's a thing? You question in your head as you shake is hand. "That explains the outfit." Leon states. Just as the newcomer is about to retaliate, you here another noise.

"Someone else is nearby." You say, looking in the direction of the door. Without checking to see if the others were following, especially since you knew they would, you go into the next classroom.

Upon entering, you notice another girl. She has a tall hourglass figure, light blue eyes, and long, thick, bleached strawberry blonde hair tied in two twin pigtails.

Her outfit includes a black cardigan over a white dress shirt, with both left open to the third button to expose the top of her black-and-red bra, a red pleated miniskirt, and mid-sized black boots with platform heels and red laces.

"Wait... you're Junko Enoshima, right? Aren't you the Ultimate Fashionista or something?" You question, not giving the girl any time to process the situation.

"Yeah... and you're Yn! The ultimate enigmatologist or something like that." You smile and look at your shoes, feeling bashful that someone recognizes you.

"Right. Guys, we should head to the main hall. I found a note that told us to go there for an assembly I think." Junko states, holding up a paper. "Alright. Why don't you guys head there, and I'll meet up with you soon." You suggest, opening the door.

"What are you gonna do?" Mondo questions, suspicion flickering in his eyes.

"Simple. I'm not done looking around. I've honestly rarely been this happy." You explain, confusing them.

"Happy?" Junko asks, eyebrow raised.

"This is the biggest puzzle I've faced. Where is everyone? Why are we here? How did we get here? Who brought us here? Does this have something to do with Hope's Peak? Who else is here? We have no clues, and no guides. This is amazing!" You exclaim, getting carried away.

"Okay. Calm down there." Junko says, patting your shoulder. "Right." You respond before clearing your throat.

"I'll come with you. I met you first and trust you more. I can't believe this is what it's come to." Leon whines before you both tell the others you'll see them later.
