"Friends..? Pfft, as if I'd need any! Besides, any pigshit that would come up to me would probably just stab me in the back sooner or later and act as if nothing happened, just like my stupid childhood..! So why in the hell should I TRUST any of these people..?! I can just fend for myself just fine!... mostly anyway..!"
That question, among others, was what was tormenting 19-Year Old Hiyoko Saionji within her mind. Despite her troubled past, she was fairly popular among men audiences for her traditional dancing skills.
Having recently hitting her current age, Hiyoko has been feeling irritated and bored about her life, especially with her own overbearing hag of a grandmother. She now questions the possibilities of ever letting herself decide her own destiny...
And that moment came when she received an acceptance letter of her dreams. An invitation to Extraordinary Minds Academy with the title of the Ultimate Traditional Dancer.
Now with an opportunity to stay away from her previous home life, and to decide on what she could do in her future, Hiyoko accepted the offer, only to soon find out that it was a curse in disguise...
Now stuck with 17 other Ultimates similar to her and a weird Cat and Dog AI, Hiyoko Saionji was now faced with a game of life and death.
Will Hiyoko manage to escape out of the game alive, even if it means she has to trust everyone among her? Or will she meet her fate and die trying? And with her being the extra 18th person in the game, will her own actions change the course of the entire game?
