Chapter Text
The 6 students stood in confusion as they were wondering who this crazy woman was.
"Ehh! Only 6 of you? I at least thought there would be more." She said with a disappointed face.
"Um" Nevermind spoke up, "Not to be rude but who are you?"
"The name Chisa Yukizome, i'm your new homeroom teacher" she said with a Bow. "And you must be the new student I've heard so much about'' she then pointed at Kamakura, to which he didn't reply.
"Strong silent type are you, well i'll change that!" She said while stepping into the hall. "Come on everyone, let's go find your classmates!"
"Ugh, do we have to? They're all so weird" Saionji said disguised.
"Pass," Kuzuryu said, putting his hands behind his head.
"Well too bad I'm the teacher and you will obey!"
"I guess it would not be the worst thing, we are a class after all" Nevermind said stepping out into the hall.
"I'll come too," Koizumi said, stepping out as well.
"You too bug sis Koizumi?"
"Yeah I don't see why it would be a bad thing, plus its a good opportunity for Kamakura to see the rest of the school"
"OK then fine, I'm only going because you're going. Come on pig barth you're coming!" She said, taking Tsumiki by the ear and dragging her out of the class.
"I-i would have come a-anyway! Please l-let me go-go!" The girls were staring at the two boys in the class.
"It's rude to keep girls waiting, you know!"
"Don't you wanna see what this place has to offer Kamakura?" Yukizome said, getting in his face.
"I have seen the school's interior many times digitally, so I honestly could not care. But I shall accompany you all for my own benefit" he then stuffed past her and into the hall
Kuzuryu gave a sigh, "like hell I'm staying here by myself, fine make way." He also shoved past Yukizome and into the hall.
"That's the spirit class! Let's go find our new friends!" She said while locking the door
"Sorry our?" Kuzuryu mentioned in a confused tone.
"I-i mean your friends, let's go!" She then took off down the hall with everyone following behind her.
Kamakura was not looking forward to this. His bubbly teacher obviously was annoying and he could see her getting in the way in the future. Although she was a teacher she was extremely pushy, so she would surely drag him out of his room for class.
Their first stop was on the same floor and outside a boys bathroom.
"A boys bathroom?" Koizumi questioned, "is someone in there?"
"Yup, according to my student tracker he's in there"
"S-student t-tracker?"
"You betcha, all the teachers get given a special handbook so they can keep track on everyone"
"That's like, a total breach of privacy lady!" Saionji yelled loudly
"Rules are rules," Yukizome said with a wink.
"Well, who is going in?" Nevermind asked curiously.
"Obviously the two boys of course," Koizumi declared as she pointed at Kamakura and Kuzuryu.
"Tsk, fine" Kuzuryu entered the bathroom while Kamakura followed him from behind.
As soon as they entered, a foul stench entered their nose.
"Aw jesus!" Kuzuryu yelled while gripping his nose, "what the hell is that!" He looked at Kamakura who was also holding his nose.
"It is the Ultimate team manager using the bathroom"
"It smells like a rotting corpse!" He looked around to see that the far corner stall was closed, but before he could get any closer he felt a hand hold him back.
"You should probably stand back"
"What for-"
"ARRRRGGGGHHHH" a scream came from the final stall and it blew up like a bomb just went off. Kuzuryu stood in awe while Kamakura gave no expression. The person known as the Ultimate team manager stepped out of the now destroyed bathroom stall and looked at the 2 boys.
"Ahhahah, my apologies, I really had to take a shit! Ahh Kuzuryu it's good to see you again" he then noticed Kamakura.
"Ahhh, a new kid. MY NAME IS NEKOMARU NIDAI THE ULTIMATE TEAM MANAGER-" he then stopped and looked at Kamakura up and down as he started to sweat.
"What is this intimidating presence, w-who are you?"
"Izuru Kamukura"
"YOUR POWER IS MAGNIFICENT, PLEASE TRAIN WITH ME SOMETIME!"
"Power? No offence Nidai but Kamakura isn't exactly the buffest person"
"Don't be fooled by someone's appearance, I can tell he's strong and I want to see first hand what he's capable of!"
"No"
"You may say no now, but you'll come around sooner or later!" He said with a wide grin and laughing hysterically as they all exited the bathroom.
Saionji was the first to see them leave the bathroom. "Took you long enough! What was that loud bang as well?"
"A great man's shit that's what!" Nidai responded.
"That's disgusting! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
"Eh, sorry Koizumi your right. Oh and you must be the new teacher"
"Yup yup, Chisa Yukizome. I also decided that we're all going to split up so we can cover more ground. Now Saionji, Koizumi, and Nevermind are going for Mioda, Tanaka, and Hanamura. Kuzuryu and Nidai head for Pekoyama, Soda, and Owari. Finally Kamakura and Tsumiki you head for Komaeda and Nanami while I head Mitarai."
"How are we supposed to know where they are?" Nevermind questioned.
"I'm not the only one who can see your class's location silly, I may have told you a tiny lie,check your handbooks" they all proceeded to get out their handbooks and see where their classmates were, while simultaneously getting into the groups she assigned.
Hiyoko, Mahiru, and Sonia
After leaving the group the girls headed for the music room on the 4th floor. When they arrived, they could hear music blaring on the inside.
"Uggh, that music sounds like utter shit"
"I think it is quite melodic! It's the perfect thing to play back in my home country"
"OK I'm definitely not going there now" Koizumi reached for the door and when she opened the door a hellish sound entered their ears.
"What in god's name is this!" Saionji covered her ears as did Koizumi.
"It's making me feel sick, I think I'm gonna…" Koizumi started to gag.
"Is this what you call the punk rock? It is absolutely exquisite!" The musician on stage then noticed them.
"Oooo, people came to see Ibuki's masterpiece! Now turn up your eardrums and prepare to lose your lunch!" She started to viciously play the guitar and the room started to shake violently.
"I'm too perfect to die!" Saionji was now crying while Nevermind was jumping up and down. Right when they thought when all hope was lost, the music came to an abrupt halt and the music stopped.
"Awww, what happened?" Mioda looked over to the speaker to see Koizumi holding the power cord of the massive speaker.
"Come on Mioda! We've talked about this"
"Aww sorry Koizumi, it's just when Ibuki gets in the mood she can't really stop," she said with a wink.
"You're lucky my eardrums didn't burst or you would have heard from my lawyers!"
"I thought your performance was amazing Mioda, thank you" Nevermind gave a Bow to the giggling singer.
"If 1 person enjoys that's 1 more than usual, so anyway what brings you to Ibuki's realm of rock?"
"Our new home room teacher wants everyone there, also we have a new classmate who's… interesting"
"You had Ibuki at 'interesting' count me in!" She stepped down from the stage and joined the girls who were still rubbing their ears from the hell they endured.
Their next stop was on the floor below, specifically one of the classrooms.
"Who's next on the list?" Mioda looked at Koizumi.
"If these things are correct, it should be Tanaka"
"Oh great he's even weirder than Mioda"
"I have been hurt by your words of truth" Mioda gave a small laugh as they opened the door.
When they opened it the room was pitch black, lit by only candles in the shape of a circle with a star in the center as well as the guy they were looking for.
"Stay where you stand mortals, you have no right to disturb this ritual" Tanaka had his eyes closed but was looking in their direction.
"What are you even doing?" Koizumi questioned
"What a foolish question for a simpleton like you, I am offering a sacrifice to tame the beasts of the underworld"
"Oh my! Are they that vicious?" Nevermind covered her mouth.
"But of course, my 4 dark devas of destruction are the briggers of chaos!" As he said this he opened his eyes and 4 hamsters appeared on his shoulders with 2 on each.
"But do not threat, I Gundham Tanaka have enough power to trim these beasts"
"Oh my they are adorable" Nevermind walked over "may i pet them?"
"Do as you may princess, just remember whose idea it was if they take your life!" The hamsters were all on Sonia's shoulders now and nuzzling her face.
"So why have you come to my dark abyss of hell?" Tanaka then stood up.
"The new teacher wants everyone in class," Koizumi stated.
"Don't forget we need to meet Ibuki's new jamming partner as well!"
"Hmph, very well. I shall accompany you 4 on this journey and see if this new mortal has any potential"
"Don't forget your hamsters Tanaka" Nevermind held them in her hand and offered them back.
"Why um… thank you" Tanaka then got a blush on his face when he accepted back his 4 dark devas.
Their last stop was the cafeteria in the hotel. It was completely empty compared to earlier, the only noise was the clanging of the pots and pans and there was a delightful smell in the air.
"Something smells absolutely fantastic!" Nevermind headed for the kitchen entrance before she was stopped by Tanaka.
"Hold dear princess, although the smell maybe hypnotising do not be fooled by the disgusting troll who laid the trap"
"He basically means the cooking is good but the cook is well…"
"Now, my little cinnamon bun, I'd prefer the term chef" the cook was peeking out the kitchen door entrance and stared at the students.
"Ewww, don't stare at Ibuki with those terrible eyes!"
"Ugh, you're still the nasty pervert you always will be!" Saionji took a few steps back.
The Princess however still didn't notice the chief's true intent. "Ah Hanamura, you are looking um…well"
"As do you princess, but I may look bad but I need your help. You see my loins are filled with a deadly potion, and I need you to suck it out" his nose was now bleeding and he started to drool.
"Oh um, poison"
"Yes and you need to suck me right now-" Koizumi gave a mighty kick to the pervert that sent him back into the kitchen, then her and Tanaka went in and a couple minutes later they appeared with Hanamura tied and being dragged behind Koizumi.
"Do not fear we have tamed this disgusting beast"
"Although I think he enjoyed it" Koizumi looked back to see that Hanamura was indeed enjoying it.
"Nothing wrong with a little bondage" he gave a wink that made all the girls shiver. "Now may I ask where you're taking little old me?"
"New teacher wants us all there,unfortunately that means you too" Mioda knelt down to get closer to the chef.
"You might not want to stand to close, I do tend to bite"
"Lets go before I call the police" Saionji left the room with Koizumi and Mioda following close behind, while Nevermind stayed back with Tanaka to keep him company so he wasn't completely alone with the pervert.
Fuyuhiko and Nekomaru
After leaving the group the two boys headed to the floor above. Their destination was the dojo, where one of their most deadly classmates were at. Nidai opened the door with Kuzuryu entering first. The room was a huge dojo with cherry blossom trees all around the room.
The swordswoman was over by the dummies. Swinging swiftly at each incoming dummy with her bamboo sword.
"It's like she was born to swing that sword! Wouldn't you agree, Kuzuryu?"
"Pff, like I give a shit what she's good at"
"Really? I could have sworn i saw you speaking at one point or another"
"Yeah s-so I don't mean nothing! Just mind your own damn business!"
"AHAH, whatever you say pal." Their chatter made the swordswoman turn around and notice them.
"Kuzuryu, Nedai, why are you here?"
"Our new home teacher is a bit nuts and wants everyone in class"
"Very well, I shall accompany you two, just let me put the equipment away"
"By the way Pekoyama, have you thought of my offer?"
"I have yes. And I haft to decline, I do not have the time to go professional"
"What a shame, it's sad to see your potential go to waste"
"Well I do have my own priorities" she gave a fast glance to Kuzuryu but Nidai didn't notice. After she was done the 3 of them exited the dojo and headed for their next destination, Nidai took the lead but Pekoyama stayed back with Kuzuryu.
"Is something troubling you young master?"
"Don't call me that, *sigh* it's just this new transfer students a bit much"
"Does he pose a threat?"
"Maybe, i'm not sure, just be cautious" Kuzuryu took off ahead of her and next to Nidai.
"I will protect you, no matter what" she said under her breath.
Their next stop was the back of the school itself, specifically they were focused on the girl climbing the building.
"Owari! Come the fuck on! " Kuzuryu was yelling at the girl now on top of the building.
"No way Kuzuryu! Unless you can catch me!"
"Pft, it's not my job to catch you, its there's"
"Hih? What are you-" she then noticed Nidai and Pekoyama quickly and swiftly making their way up the building at unthinkable speeds.
"Uh oh, gotta run!" she then took off running on the roof of the building while her two attackers were just on the building.
"Pekoyama! Might I suggest throwing you before she can get further away"
"Although it is quite illogical, I do believe it will work" Nidai then picked her up by the waist and pulled back.
"CATCH OWARI!" With that he let go of the swordswoman and she travelled through the air like a bullet.
"Catch what-" Owari was too slow to see the swordswoman inches from her. She tried to do a last second dodge but it was too late. Pekoyama tackled her and she hit the roof's floor and the momentum carried the two girls to the very edge of the front of the academy.
Pekoyama got off her and offered her a hand up to which she accepted. "Haa! Good game, I didn't think you wanted to catch me that badly, so what exactly do you want?"
"A new teacher requests that we all attend class today" as she was explaining Nidai caught up to them both.
"What a splendid performance! That's the kind of teamwork I'm looking for!"
"Yo coach! Anything new?"
"Actually yes, I have found someone that I feel will surpass us both… no, he has already surpassed us"
"Really?! Who is he?"
"I'll let him do the explaining when you see him"
"No matter who or what he is ill fight him and kick his ass!" The 3 of them then got down from the roof and met the impatient Kuzuryu on the ground.
They headed out of school grounds and went to a nearby mechanic shop. The stench of oil filled their nostrils as they entered the grave area. The Mechanic was under a car and was tinkering with its underside.
"Yo Soda" Owari kicked his leg "come on, it's time for class" he got out from under and looked at his attacker.
"No need to hit me! A simple call would be fine, and also what do you mean? Class isn't mandatory."
"The new teach wants us all there, plus if Hanamura is there I get to taste his meat again!"
"You should really…rephrase that better" Pekoyama got a tad bit red saying this.
"No way, you all mean to me anyway!" He went back under the car and tried to ignore them.
"You know, I think I heard Sonia talking about you," Kuzuryu folded his arms and gave a smirk.
Kazuichi immediately came back from under the car, "s-she did?! What did she say!?"
"Only one way to find out"
"Why are we still here, let's go!" He shot out from under the car and left the shop immediately. Everyone hung their head in shame as Sodas' actions were so pathetic, they couldn't help but feel bad.
Izuru and Mikan
After the two of them left, they realised both of the people they were looking for were outside the school. So Tsumiki took the lead while Kamakura followed behind. As they were walking down the stairs to the 2nd floor, Tsumiki tried to make small talk.
"S-so how are you liking the a-academy?"
"Fine"
"O-oh that's good, and I'm sure you'll enjoy our classmates, there a-all really nice"
"Even Saionji?"
"D-don't mind her, I deserve it"
"In what way do you deserve the abuse"
"Well people have treated me like that my whole life, so what's one m-more"
"Hmm"
"Oh um I-ignore me please! I rambled on too long, I'm sorry!" Kamakura didn't respond that time which seemed to make it worse as she started to cry. Kamakura already knew of her past abuse, he just recond that she would prefer abuse to being lonely.
(You should really help her out)
Kamakura came to a complete stop. "What did you say"
"Huh? I-i don't think I said anything, but if I did I'm sorry!"
"Its nothing, it was my mistake…sorry""
"Oh um" she turned a slight shade of red, "t-thank you, it's funny I'm usually the one who's apologising" she gave a tiny giggle as they continued to walk but Kamakura was deep in thought. He knew the voice clearly wasn't hers, and it wasn't a voice from the outside it was...on the inside. He didn't hear anything after that but he came to a few conclusions, the one that had the most chances of being true was that Hajime Hinata wasn't fully gone.
After that experience they exited the school gates and took a left. They were going to a nearby gas station, specifically the vending machine. The white haired boy was inserting a few yen into the machine. The drink he was trying to get slowly descended from its slot and smacked into the glass, making it stuck.
"Haha, of course"
"H-hello Komaeda"
"Ahh, Tsumiki, what brings you-" he noticed Kamakura. "Oh, you must be the transfer student. It's nice to meet you, and if you must know my name…its Nagito Komaeda''
"Izuru Kamukura"
"Huh? Isn't that-"
"I have explained my name and appearance too many times, ask someone else"
"Oh of course, only i could make someone with so much potential hate me."
"You are the second person to say that to me, It seems pessimism runs in the class"
"Oh, so that's why you're here, I guess I couldn't be helped. With the new teacher and all, she wouldn't know how useless I am until she's met me. I guess i'll come with you"
"I never said we were bringing you to class, how did you know?"
"Ha, let's just say I pay attention Mr ultimate Mystery"
"Y-you know Komaeda, Kamakura is the U-ultimate hope" Komaedas eyes light up with this.
"AHAHAHAH, I truly am Lucky! To be blest in the same presence as the Ultimate Hope, I'm not worthy!" Kamukura ignored his rambling and walked in the direction of his final classmate.
"So w-what do you think of him K-komaeda?"
"He has the biggest presence I've ever seen! I shall personally be his stepping stone, a person like his is one in a million, I shall not let this opportunity go to waste!"
"Y-yeah I like him to, he e-even stood up for me in the classroom"
"Already falling for the new student Tsumiki, i didn't know you were the love at first sight type"
"N-no! Of course n-not, I swear I don't like him like that!" She had a mixture of blush and tears on her face.
While that conversation was happening Kamakura was reviewing Komaeda. He instantly saw his true nature. His obsession with hope would surely be the death of him one day, it was something worse than insanity, something…almost unpredictable. Although he'd yet to see his true nature up close, he would surely be a hassle later down the line if Kamakura drifted to something other than hope. For now he would keep observing and see what sets him off.
Their last destination was a place Kamakura felt like he'd been before a million times, the fountain. Although he exited via there a week ago, he felt he had a deeper connection to this place. When they arrived his eyes instantly darted towards the bench where the gamer was sitting. Her eyes glued to her gamergirl and tapping repeatedly on the buttons. The three of them walked over with Komaeda taking the lead.
"It seems we met again Nanami, you must be the unlucky one." She didn't answer straight away, it was roughly 5 seconds before she answered.
"Yeah I guess, but I didn't move from this spot…so you came to me, I think."
"Yup, the new teacher wants everyone in class, and to meet the new student"
"Who's the new student?"
"Take a look for yourself." Like before it took her a couple of seconds before looking up. When she did, she didn't expect to see the mysterious person she'd play with at the arcade.
"It's you! So you were attending the academy"
"Huh? You two know each other?" Komaeda curious asked
"Yeah, he and I were at the same arcade last week, we played a couple or rounds and he was really good!"
"Hmmm, so you were in the area before the academy even opened, interesting." Kamakura didn't respond to Komaedas statement.
"I told you we'd meet again, it was only a matter of time"
"Yeah…I suppose, oh actually can you tell me your name now?"
"You didn't tell her your name? Not cool Kamakura"
"Hmmm, Kamakura?"
"Izuru Kamukura, yes. And id appreciate if you didn't ask for the details"
"Hmmm, ok, I don't really care that much but…I was just hoping we could play again sometime."
"I don't see the point of doing it again, it's stale and repetitive. No matter the game or genre, it's all the same. And you will lose" He began to walk away.
"Anyway t-the reason were h-here Nanami is that our new teacher wants us all in class"
"Hmm, ok. It was getting a little cold anyway" the 3 of them walked far behind Kamukura.
"S-so N-nanami, you had a first hand experience with Kamakura then?"
"It wasn't that long, we just played a couple of rounds and he left."
"W-what was it like?"
"He was mostly…bored, in the first match he beat me with little to no effort"
"He's even greater than I imagined! Could you sense it Nanami? The potential?!"
"Not really, he's just…different"
"Haha, different. What a simple way to explain the unknown." They all reentered the academy and headed for the class.
Their group was the last to enter, with Kamukura entering last and was met with an avalanche of stares from the people he hadn't met
