Hey guys!

Summer's finally underway. And what better way to start than to write a new story!

Well, actually. I had this in mind as only a one-shot. But I think that'll change, only if you want me to of course!

So, about this fanfic.

Danganronpa is awesome. Though, it may be my opinion. But nonetheless, I love the games and its storyline. I've managed to play Danganronpa 1 & 2. And read some fanfics beforehand (which was a bummer since I deliberately spoiled myself some parts of the game, though not that much. But still)

Anyways, first off. I want to mention some various people and their works that inspired me to do this.

[[Everyday Life with Ultimate Girls by wesst1]]

[[Conquering Hope by Putain de Plagieur]]

[[The Luckster and his Luck by Jibster]]

[[Be More Proactive This Time Around, Luckster by jean010]]

And [[Strokes of Luck by Tusk Act IV]]

They're wonderful fanfics and I recommend you to check them all out. Basically, this more or less an AU of those mentioned works. Various backgrounds or any kind of related information of characters is heavily influenced in those fanfics. I only made some crude input of my own and some other cringy ideas.

With that said, you may now start reading. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danganronpa. This fic is also heavily influence by what I mentioned above. So I apologize if I technically copied your own ideas.

The Ultimate Lucky Student sighed heavily as he opened the door of his dormitory. Scratching the back of his head to only wince as he accidentally touched a bump on his bandaged scalp.

"...Maybe I should've listened to Tsumiki-senpai about not leaving the infirmary earlier this quickly" He frowned as he recalled the specific incident where a bucket fell quite hard on his head, prompted by someone with the entitled Ultimate Supreme Leader of Class 79th.

He had been told afterwards that his kouhai may have some affinities for mischievousness. Though to a lower level than a certain Ultimate of his class. Nonetheless, it would have been great if he was warned beforehand!

And that happened just because he was innocently passing by to give them some documents for an errand! How did it arrive to that outcome? What in the world did he do!?

He closed the door with a visible cringe, feeling his scalp, forehead, lower abdomen, upper back and right leg seemingly made a simultaneous jolt that was far from desirable. It was quite surreal that this all happened to him in a single day. He could clearly recall each and every physical... accidents that turned him into this beat-up lump. He didn't even manage to attend the first morning session!

To make it short. He had been smacked in the forehead with a baseball. Struck in the gut with a harsh professional punch. Fall on his back rather painfully before getting stomped by an elephant, of all things, in the leg. And oh, getting smacked with an empty bucket due to miscalculation.

If this was another anime, the Luckster would have looked like someone who just got out of a fight. Well truthfully, he almost did. But that's a story for another time.

With a wobbly stride, he was thankful that his bed caught his inevitable descent. Already feeling how his whole body throbbed in pain that he had been enduring as of late. He was actually hoping for the numbness to cover his body, to just temporarily ease the feeling of pain. Even though he knew he would wake up in one nasty morning feeling the ache all over.

He painfully reached for his phone in his pockets. Bringing it up to his face as he dialed a specific number to call.

*Ring* *Ring*

Makoto patiently waited for the other line to pick up. After a few minutes, he tried again. It was then that he realized that the person he was intending to call wasn't going to answer his phone anytime soon.

"She must be busy" The Ultimate Luckster stated with a despondent sigh. "Or probably still avoiding me..." He muttered with a small frown.

With a tired grunt, he allowed to close his eyes. Not even thinking of the fact of how this would bite him in his rear severely. But alas, he was too disoriented to care and decided to just shut his eyes for at least a few minutes.

[HopE/DesPaiR]

The Ultimate Pop Sensation sighed heavily as she rubbed her temples. Her eyes twitching perceptibly as she took in the sight right in front of her. Admonishments threatened to erupt from her throat, enough to leave her vocal chords dry despite her affinity to perform loudly in her concerts in long intervals.

She had just arrived a few minutes ago after a very tiring day from school and work. She had made sure to finish doing her homework, reports and even the projects related to her profession that she had to submit to the school this time of day. But the most engaging activity that she had almost finished was her and her group's preparation for an upcoming concert prompted by the school.

An opportunity that she had immediately taken after her continued series of concerts. To further continue her particular profession without the help of her former manager. Luckily, her friends from her idol group also gave their full support in preparing for the particular event and even look for a new manager to finance them rather than relying on her classmate all the time.

She mentally frowned as the thought of her former manager came into mind. While she can confess that she had done some shady things to get where she was now. She can also wholeheartedly admit that she didn't regret ever choosing to leave from her old ways of gaining popularity.

She was extremely thankful for the Ultimate Affluent Progeny for sponsoring their last concert, her whole class of 78th and the students of 77-Bth for lending their hand for the maintenance and the like, and of course, for her idol group who had supported her decision and had stayed with her until the end.

But all that doesn't compare to the gratefulness that she felt for a particular Luckster of their class.

She shook her head as she tried to clear the red flush on her cheeks. The very thought of their Luckster, her Luckster, only gave her heart numerous skips and beats.

Her profession all but vanished and turned into the bubbling mess that she was right now. Similar to a school girl who was just thinking about her crush. Granted, she was still a school girl. And also granted, what her current thoughts and feelings for the Luckster was very close, or even beyond, to a crush.

It had been about a week since then. A week since the Ultimate Lucky Student of their class that seized her heart after he, himself, had been the one to take charge and help her continue her career. A week since a concert was held that she can truly describe as sensational. A week since the idea of working hard for her own dreams had been hammered into her head.

...And a week since she started to call herself stupid and not even start to properly thank the Luckster in her heart for all the things that he had done just for her. Okay, maybe for her career and idol group. But it was the same for her alright! She even had the gall to give a dumb excuse of being busy in her work and escape whenever she found the Luckster wanting to simply talk to her.

She started to feel just being selfishly mean after the first attempt.

But no more! She had thought of ridding her dumb excuses and cowardice for today. She just had to just raise her damn courage and outright invite the Luckster in her room!

...That didn't come out right.

Ahem. What she meant to say, was that after her schedule had been cleared. She had planned to invite the Luckster and just enjoy the night watching movies, playing games, listening to her albums and even watching her old concerts as she knew he was a fan. And of course thank him for all that his done. Just those simplistic things that people would rationally think when inviting others to their room.

...Though was it bad that some part of her wanted to take that in another way?

But even though if she was tired, she knew that sentiment wouldn't continue after she got the presence of her precious Luckster by her side.

Now...

"...Tell me why you are all in my room again?" Maizono said as the pretty face of the Ultimate Fashionista just gave a peace sign with a wide smirk on her lips. Something that she would always see as nothing more than wrong.

"Don't be so strung up Sayaka-chan!" Enoshima kept her grin and patted the back of the blue headed girl quite harshly. The latter just intensified her glare, not that it intimidated the former for even a single bit. "Now, don't stand there and make your beautiful face all scrunched up. It's going to be a party!"

"...Party?" Maizono directed her gaze to the other girls questioningly. "Can you just explain why you're here?"

"I-I don't even know why I'm here Maizono-san!" The Ultimate Swimmer stuttered with a confused look. "Enoshima-san just said that there was something going on. I thought it'd be something important!" Asahina tried to explain.

"While I am in the same category as Asahina-san here..." The Ultimate Gambler started. "Enoshima-san had been rather... bratty in her ways. So as to not let my nerves and patience escalate even further. I had begrudgingly taken the decision to accept her invitation" Celes finished with a giggle that didn't show any kind of mirth.

"...I'm just here to make sure that my sister didn't go too far in whatever she's doing" Maizono turned to the usual emotionless Ultimate Soldier in surprise. Astonished how the usual submissive girl, only to the Fashionista of course, had actually stood up and let her intentions of keeping her sister in check. Even if said girl was in this very room.

"What the fu*k do you mean about going too far!?" Enoshima said with her iconic rockstar-like personality. "I can make decisions for myself thank you very much. I'm not a fu*king kid like you!"

Maizono just shook her head as the two sisters proceeded to argue. She then turned her head to the final visitor as she didn't even bother to hide her accusatory gaze.

"Even you Kirigiri-san? Don't tell me you're here just because Enoshima-san irritated you?"

The Ultimate Detective didn't say anything as she kept her neutral gaze towards the Ultimate Pop Sensation. She then sighed before turning her head away as she gave a brief response. "I assure you that I'm here for a valid reason" Kirigiri shortly said as she finished speaking. Though, even Maizono noticed the way she looked at the Fashionista with a discreet yet critical look.

"So? Why do you even need my television for?" The Pop Star said as she assume what they came for. It was known that she had the biggest TV screen and killer sound system compare to the other students.

"Are you psychic!?" Enoshima feigned a look of surprise. Maizono ignored the rhetorical question as she narrowed her gaze at the Fashionista. "Hahaha! No need to glare girl. I just wanted to do a prank after a long time. Well, observing someone is fun too right?"

The Ultimate Pop Sensation could only gaze at the girl with a confused look. Just now, she realized that Enoshima's escapades of pranks had weirdly been lessened and even dare she say mellowed compare to her older attempts.

It was quite suspicious to be honest.

While it was not a surprise for the class that the Fashionista tends to prank people just because the girl was bored to death, if you're lucky. Her more... disastrous pranks actually happens if the girl happens to feel anything but bored. The results usually escalate into something way extreme and sometimes even manage to involve staffs of the school.

And all that stopped after a couple of days ago. Right after the Fashionista and Luckster had been called in the Headmaster's office because of their involvement in a serious prank. Not that she believed that Naegi was involved. She had a good feeling that the unlucky boy was just an innocent as he looked.

She was an esper after all.

"I thought so" The girls turned to the Ultimate Detective as she leveled Enoshima an inquisitive look. "Earlier this day, I happened to catch someone loitering around the A/V room. And after checking the room, a spare CCTV camera, a Bluetooth stick and some connectors were missing" Her face showed no kinds of emotion as she looked at the Fashionista. "I'm certain that you're the one who stole them?"

"Hey!" Enoshima felt offended. "I didn't steal them. I just took them without permission!" The girls could only look at her dryly.

"I've stated my claim" Kirigiri brushed her off. "I'm confiscating them afterwards right after I learn where the camera is. Since I know the culprit wouldn't want someone crashing her plan this quickly" Maizono couldn't help but notice a tone of amusement in the detective's tone. But she shrugged it off for now.

"Damn right I am!" Enoshima pumped a fist. "This is too good to pass off!"

"...So?" Maizono said with great reluctance. "Where did you put the camera? Who are you watching?" Not that she was supporting Enoshima's plan, but was it so wrong to be curious?

"Hmm?" Enoshima said as her face suddenly shifted into one of boredom. "Oh, I've placed it on Makoto-kun's room" She then shifted into one of glee. "Oh! It's going to be so despairful~"

The Ultimate Pop Sensation paused.

Everyone in the room paused.

"...What?" Everybody practically jumped from the obvious heated tone. Maizono whipped her head to find the source, to only be stumped that it was the Ultimate Detective of all people. The unsanctioned most aloof student of their class even compare to the Ultimate Soldier.

"..." Kirigiri stood with a glare, unlike her usual apathetic gaze. Suddenly looking at Enoshima with barely concealed surprise and... accusatory anger. Luckily, she realized what she's doing as she gave a fake cough on her gloved fist.

"Ara-ara" Kirigiri was given no chance to speak when the Ultimate Gambler intervened. "That's not very nice Enoshima-san. It would do no good if you continue with your... naughty prank of sorts" Celes stated with an amused tone. But her ruby-colored eyes conveyed not a single ounce of delight from what she had just heard.

Certainly, it would do no good if the only B-rank student in the school would be troubled this night or any days for that matter, that's for sure.

"W-What!? That's mean Enoshima-san!" The Ultimate Swimmer pointed out. "N-Naegi-kun must be feeling sick right now! We didn't even see him in school today remember?" Asahina gave a surprisingly reasonable excuse.

But apart from that, she didn't want to cause trouble for someone that had been sincerely honest with her. She could still remember the first time where she felt how it was so amazing to be a girl.

"Geez!" The Fahionista laughed. "I'm not really pranking him. It's just observation. Nothing harmless!"

"..." Ikusaba leveled her sister with a stern stare. She didn't have to say anything to validate what Enoshima would do; the girl was quite obvious in her plans in the first place.

Though there were still signs of obedience that she felt for her sister, but that was only because she was her family. She had already promised to be the ideal sister for her sibling that day. So she wasn't planning to be a lost puppy that follows her sister's shadow with every step anytime soon.

And that strongly pertains if her sister happened to involve a certain Luckster of their class.

As for the idol, anyone could already guess how her glare conveyed her thoughts about the matter.

"Oh come' on!" Enoshima whined. "Aren't all of you curious of seeing our Luckster's face while sleeping?" She chuckled as she saw each girl's eyes abruptly widen.

"T-That's-!" Asahina stuttered.

"I'm confiscating that right now" Kirigiri sternly demanded.

"Hmm? Sure here" The Ultimate Detective's eyes widened even further when she was presented with the Bluetooth stick right in front of her face. She should have finished this thing right away and be done with it. But why do her fists kept clenching with uncertainty?

"See? You can't do it!" Enoshima taunted. "What? Too hesitant in letting this perfect chance go to waste? Does the young maiden part of your heart keep jamming that detective sh*t principles?" Kirigiri glowered and look rightfully offended from the accusation but struggled kept her mouth firmly shut. Eyeing the Bluetooth stick with serious eyes.

Maizono looked at the situation with a conflicted yet understanding look(?). She couldn't blame the girl for wanting to see the Luckster in a very... cute position. It even make double sense since the Luckster was already cute to begin with.

"Say something Celes-san!" Asahina turned to the girl beside her. "This is just wron- huh?"

"I'll admit. This is quite... enticing. I'm currently at a crossroad, so don't mind me" The Ultimate Gambler said as she turned her head to hide the small flush in her cheeks.

"W-What!?"

"Besides..." Enoshima said with mischievousness. "It's not like Makoto will even mind in the first place. He's got six cute girls looking over him. And the boy is just too adorable to hold a grudge. The best thing you'll ever get is a glare. And that, is even cuter... and despairing! Upupupupu!" She cackled mirthfully before mockingly raising a hand.

"We'll decide by majority. Anyone who agrees, raise their hand and say 'Aye!'"

"T-That's too sudden!"

"Tell me this isn't happening..." Maizono muttered. Hopelessly looking at all the people in her room with each of their different views. Enoshima continued laughing; Ikusaba was trying to say something but could only mutter; Celes was facing the other way but there was no mistaking the dangerous chuckles that escaped her throat; Asahina was currently denying with a blush on her face; and Kirigiri was...

"...If I discover where the camera is placed. I'm putting a stop to this" The Ultimate Detective proclaimed as she turned the other way. Indicating that she was done with the discussion.

The Ultimate Pop Sensation's eyebrow twitched from the apparent denial.

'If you're saying that... wouldn't it be better if you look for it now?' Maizono couldn't help but think. 'And please say that while facing us Kirigiri-san...' Who knew the usual aloof detective could be so cute?

'Wait a minute' Maizono's eyes widened as she realized that she could just say no in letting them stay here. But she then also quickly realized that they would just enter a different room and watch the proceedings in a different television.

So much for her plans in inviting the Luckster for the night.

"W-Wait! This is still intruding on his privacy!" Asahina interrupted. "What if we suddenly... you know. We see...um..." The Ultimate Swimmer trailed off as she fidgeted with her fingers.

"What? Spit it out girl!" Enoshima incited but Asahina seemed even more hesitant. She was about to speak again when...

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF DONUTS! WHAT IF WE SEE HIM DOING 'THAT' WHILE HE'S NAKED!" Asahina exploded as her face burned scarlet.

The air in the room froze.

Enoshima stared at her unnervingly with a straight face. Her eyes boring holes towards the swimmer's own. Before the edges of her lips suddenly gave a quirk.

"That's for him to know and for us to find out" That was honestly a horrible time for a reference.

"Wha-!?"

"Enough talking commoners!" Enoshima stopped the incoming retorts with a hand. A crown seemingly appeared on her head. "Ignore the minor trivialities and let her Highness Enoshima Junko-sama initiate the festivities at once!" She proclaimed before literally throwing the Bluetooth stick to Maizono who barely caught it with her hands with a yelp. "And by that I mean... start plugging those damn cables and freakin' wires so we can start!" She added with rock!

"Are we really doing this right now?" Maizono could hopelessly stare at the object in her hands. Truthfully, she was wholeheartedly against this 100%.

"Statistically speaking" Enoshima started with a flicker of her glasses. Her hair tied into a ponytail. "It is far from possible that we could see the man considered as... 'tame' to show sudden display of self-pleasure. The boy would more likely pass out rather than faint in embarrassment" She added with a nod.

"Not that part!"

While admittedly, their classmate was... inactive than most. He was still a pubescent boy for crying out loud!

But the fact still remains that the Luckster could be rather innocent. Though admittedly, that was a very cute part of what made Naegi as an object of their affection.

"What? You want me to say it?" Enoshima questioned arrogantly. "Say that we won't ever see him beating his meat stick with a glorified look on his face whil-"

"Don't. Just don't" The Ultimate Pop Sensation could only hope that the Luckster wouldn't find out. And if he did, she'd hope that he'll forgive them... like usual.

She prepared herself for the incoming guilt trip.

"It seems that we have an accord"

"You don't need to say that Celes-san!"

With a disgruntled sigh, Maizono then moved towards her television and began operating. It isn't like she totally agreed however. She'll see if this goes too far. If it did, well, she'll immediately put a stop to it.

'How ironic. Instead of thanking Naegi-kun for helping me continue my dream. Here I am, spying on him while still giving him the cold shoulder' She mocked herself for her incompetence. Unknown to her, somehow all of the girls felt the same thing.

Yes, even-

"It's execution time!" Enoshima cackled as the television was flickered on. Static and buffering was shown on the screen as it loaded and connected to the external hard drive.

All the girls minus the Fashionista waited with bated breaths. Though some hid their anticipation than most, it was still weird to observe a classmate, a boy, of all things with no kind of reason at all.

Finally, after about a lifetime of waiting. The screen flickered to display a live feed.

"Hmm" Enoshima tilted her head as she viewed the screen. "Next time, I'll place it on a different angle"

None of the girls noticed her words as they took in what they were currently seeing. Surprise and wonder in each of their different colored orbs.

"...It's surprisingly clean" Celes commented with blink. Slightly surprised from seeing how the Luckster's room was quite tidy.

"It is!" Asahina chirped with a smile. "My brother should really take Naegi-kun as an example!" The other girls didn't mention how the girl should also make room more... organized.

Maizono smiled and took note of a poster that was dedicated to her idol group. Immensely happy for the fact that the boy was also a fan of her profession.

Within seconds, Kirigiri immediately deduced where the camera was placed. It was angled right above the floor. Parallel to the bed and possibly sticking to the ceiling. The viewpoint gave a frontal view of Naegi's room in the center. Though, it seems that the Luckster wasn't in his room yet.

And as she was about to inform them of her discovery, she was forced to stop as she saw the door suddenly opening.

There the girls saw, in all his (mis)fortune, was the boy with the ahoge. Until their lips turned to a frown as they noticed the Luckster visibly limped towards his bed just as the door closed from his back.

"W-What happened to him...?" Asahina muttered as immediate worry and concern were present in her eyes. A sentiment that the girls shared as they saw his figure.

There was slight movement afterwards. The Luckster picked up his cellphone on his pockets as he inputted a number. Though the camera was too far to properly see what he just had dialed.

"Huh? Who'd he call at a time like this?" Maizono stated as she saw Naegi's cellphone rang for a minute until it clearly showed that the other line was not picking up.

"She must be busy" Their eyes widened from the statement as they saw the Luckster mutter something before closing his eyes. Leaving the cellphone's screen to flicker black as it turned off.

'She!?' Came the outrageous term that instantly made the girls' mind to jump into conclusions.

The sheer possibility of the Luckster calling someone, a girl of all gender, this late at night made alarm bells ring in their minds. Morbid thoughts and mostly clouded jealousy made even some of the more illogical minds come to a halt.

"It's just probably his sister. Yeah, probably" Maizono blurted out after a few seconds of contemplation. Her expression shifting into one of calmness as the thought itself was more likely the truth than anything else. Though, her mutter wasn't that low to not be heard by the others.

There was still some doubt though. However, it was kind of difficult to figure out. They never heard of the Luckster hanging out with females aside from them before. And even if he did, it was just on errands by faculty members and teachers as being the role of the class representative.

But there was still this nagging feeling that the other students would eventually find its way to confidently call the Luckster as someone close. Sure, it should've been the other way around. If it wasn't for the fact that they needed to account Naegi's disposition, that is.

A disposition that he always would refer to as being more optimistic than others.

Truly, if the Luckster could only know how unusual and odd that 'average' trait is. After all, it was that very thing that brought them closer as a unified class as oppose to how they first acted at the start of their classes.

It would be a matter of time where the Luckster would somehow befriend everyone in the entire school despite his denial on his own affinity of making friends.

And it would even pave way for other girls to become attracted to him (like them). Unfortunately, that possibility wasn't something far off.

Still...it was exceedingly far from a pleasant thought, that's for sure.

"Huh? Is Naegi-kun going to sleep like that?" Asahina pointed a finger on the monitor as she interrupted the girls' thoughts as they observed the screen.

True to her words, the Ultimate Luckster was currently sprawled as his chest was lying above the bed sheets. His lower body didn't reach the bed's edge as his knees were kneeling to support his weight. Overall, it wasn't really a comfortable position to sleep.

"And is that... gauze on his head?" Asahina spoke again with an even worried tone as she saw the medical cloth tightly wrapped around the Luckster's head.

Admittedly, they haven't seen the Luckster in this present day. They were only informed that he had been sent to the infirmary due to an accident. A particular misfortunate accident that Yukizome-sensei weirdly didn't seem to mention as they asked what happened. Saying that it was just all a minor difficulty.

Though how the female teacher provided stern glares towards a particular Ultimate Baseball Player every now and then seemed to convey that the event itself was far from minor.

Let it be known that the former Ultimate Housekeeper was prone to blatant favoritism if a certain Luckster was involved.

"Do you know something about this Kirigiri-san?" Maizono asked as the other girls turned to Kirigiri for some answers. As displeasing as it may sound, they seem to notice that the Ultimate Detective was more aware if anything happened to the Luckster in any given form.

Kirigiri gave them a discreet glance. Looking quite crossed if she should say something before turning her head back to the screen. Then with a sigh, she eventually relented.

"...Earlier, I saw Kuwata accidentally knocked him out with a baseball this morning" The girls listened to Kirigiri with shock. "Due to his injury, he wasn't able to attend the first session" She stated with a hint of distaste towards the Ultimate Baseball Player.

They didn't notice how the girl clutched her gloved fists not just because of the accident itself. Her thoughts immediately bordered onto how she didn't enter the classroom fast enough to prevent her precious Luckster from getting hurt.

She cursed herself from the fact that she had been avoiding him as of late. Ever since the time Makoto had 'saved' her, she had started to organize her thoughts and feelings about the Luckster. Completely ignoring him as something always seemed to stifle in her chest when they make eye contact. And recently, she had just realized what kind of blunder she had been doing.

She couldn't help it however. How was she supposed to act when she would always recall the time where the Luckster held her ungloved hands so lovingly with a smile every time she happen to stare at his eyes? It didn't help how she started to become self-conscious whenever the Luckster was nearby.

"That's why he..." Ikusaba muttered as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. Hearing how the Luckster got hurt wasn't really doing its job in lessening the temptation of stabbing someone in the neck.

The girls' thoughts closely centered on that mindset. Though some were even more... extreme compare to others.

"Ufufufu" Celes giggled. "It seems I need to ask Kuwata-kun some... questions" She didn't even bother to hide the menacing twinkle in her ruby-colored eyes.

"Get in line" Maizono growled. Hearing how the Luckster got hurt made her more than angry.

"..." Asahina didn't need any words as she brought her knuckles together with an audible thud. Easily conveying what she felt about the topic.

Ikusaba gave a sharp look towards her sister as she noticed that the girl was unusually quiet. She had expected that Enoshima would at least comment about the Luckster's state. Or, even more likely, describe how 'deliciously despairing' it is as to how Naegi seemed so out of it.

But no, she was genuinely confused as she saw Enoshima just staring at the monitor with nothing more than a bland look. It was as if she didn't care what she just saw. Or worse, she was waiting for something. Just waiting for the right moment to pounce into a favorable opportunity.

Her sister was the kind of person who has plans within plans after all. She, as her sister, would know.

Though if the Ultimate Soldier had any kind of affinity for intuition like a certain idol, she could definitely tell that most of those hypothetical plans included a bunch of things...

Some busted baseball bats, a burning jersey and a broken arm.

And if she had been tremendously observant like a certain detective, she could've seen the signs of a hailstorm beneath those bored blue eyes.

Thankfully, Asahina managed to get out of her spunk as she noticed the Luckster waking up.

"Oh look. He's waking-"

[HopE/DesPaiR]

"Owowowow" Naegi grunted as he held his head in pain. Feeling some sort of headache that really made him cringe.

Closing his eyes for a second, he took a deep breath as he tried to clear his mind. Though it didn't remove his headache, he could at least feel his body relaxing.

After another second, he shakily stood up before taking off his dark green hoodie. He then removed his shirt, unintentionally showing off a rather lean physique, as he approached a cabinet to get some new clothes.

With his sleeves now gone, one would clearly see an unusual pair of wrapped gauzes on his lower arm. Just beneath his palms as it weirdly imitated the clothing style of a certain Ultimate Nurse. For what reason? Only the Luckster knew.

Opening the lead before a jolt of pain was immediately felt by his brain once more. Dropping the new shirt that he had been holding.

"...Damn it" With an admittedly rare curse, Naegi held the sides of his head with both hands as he showed a painful grimace. Falling on his knees as he clutched his cranium, waiting for the pain to somehow ease.

His headache felt freakin' fantastic!

He then placed a palm on his forehead before noting the evident sign of a fever. Probably answers why he had been feeling light headed when he woke up. So picking up a small container of tablets, he gulped one pill before reaching a water bottle as he drank.

A disgruntled sigh escaped from his lips, he didn't even bother to pick up his shirt. He just sluggishly trudged towards his bed before he lied on his bed. Finally closing his eyes as he decided to rest his body and mind for the day. Unknown how he had been watched since the time he had entered his room.

A Few Minutes Earlier

"Huh?"

"Ehhh!?"

"I-Is that really Naegi-kun!?"

"..."

"This is... unexpected"

"...It seems that the herbivore man doesn't just eat plants for breakfast. Who knew?"

Six girls stood there quite genuinely surprised when they saw Naegi took off his shirt. They didn't expect him to be so... fit. He wasn't overly buff like their certain Ultimate Fighter. But, without a doubt, he was quite good to look at.

While it didn't match up to some students in the school with the same physique, this was different. And knowing that this was their very own Luckster only gave much more clear significance.

It made them wonder if Naegi did some exercise beforehand after enrolling in Hope's Peak. Or was it just because some of their classmates would always drag the Luckster in their own training sessions?

Nonetheless, there was no mistaking what was in front of them was far from 'average'. The picture of him being scrawny was immediately obliterated in their minds.

"It's quite a surprise that the boys don't seem talk about... this" Celes commented. A small blush on her cheeks as her eyes was glued into Naegi's form. "Knowing them, they would probably be more... aggravated. Hifumi and Kuwata more likely"

"Is this really Naegi-kun?" Maizono muttered as her eyes can't seem to stray away from the Luckster's admittedly toned chest. While she was used to seeing some of her more rabid fans were sometimes bold, this was entirely on a whole new level. She didn't expect this one bit!

"D-Damn..." Asahina whispered as she had her eyes covered with her hands. Though it was quite clear that the small opening of her fingers didn't let her block her view.

"...Naegi-kun" Ikusaba mumbled as the usual stoic soldier had an atomic blush on her cheeks.

"..." Kirigiri had her eyes widened with a gloved hand over her mouth. Her whole normal indifferent expression seemingly broken. A scarlet hue was apparent in her cheeks. And usual her dignified form was nowhere to be seen.

"Really? You're all growing crazy with this" Enoshima scoffed. Though, her eyes were clearly roaming throughout Naegi's whole body with no shame. "Sure the herbivore seems fit. But he doesn't even have... a six... pack..." She trailed off as her eyes subconsciously squinted.

Her optical nerves immediately narrowed on Naegi's abdomen. Noticing the slight protrusion of muscles just above Makoto's waist.

"Eh?" The Ultimate Fashionista grew complex for the first time.

Due to the belief that the Luckster was more on the 'tame' side, how his height was below average compared to his age and the fact that Enoshima was presented with the noticeable six pack right in front of her face. Her inherent ability encountered a sudden pause in activity for the very first time.

It was a contradiction that baffled the one who had the title of an Ultimate Analyst.

"Wait... did Sakura actually miss this of all things?" Asahina questioned as she remembered how the Ultimate Fighter described Naegi's physique when they first met.

"It... can't be helped" Kirigiri hesitantly quipped. "With his long sleeved-hoodie and all. It's quite hard to notice his... physique" She tried to avert her eyes, she really did. "And even then, he is kind of short" The girls gave a non-verbal nod to her explanation.

It was then a painful grunt made their focus break from the lovely sight that they were witnessing. Now only realizing the fact that Naegi was now on his knees as he held his cranium.

"W-What happened to him!?" Asahina questioned worriedly as he saw the Luckster kneel.

"Most likely because of his injury" Celes spoke for them with a sigh. "It wouldn't be a surprise if Naegi-kun is feeling weak. And would most likely suffer from a fever or something afterwards"

"Fever?" Maizono asked with a concerned tone.

"Well, it seems that it wasn't just Kuwata who made him go to the infirmary" Kirigiri pointed out. "Noticed how he limped earlier? How exhausted he was? And how he's currently suffering from a headache?" Everyone in the room could clearly notice how the girl's tone became heavier with each rhetoric question.

It wouldn't take a genius to know that she was greatly displeased from seeing the Luckster getting hurt all over.

Though, she didn't need to ask the other girls' opinion as they felt the same thing. And a brief realization of a possible opportunity came apparent in their minds.

'This is it Sayaka! I will visit him tomorrow!' Maizono said as she slapped both of her cheeks. 'This is my chance to make up with all the cold treatment I've given him! And maybe...' She looked at Naegi with a determined gaze. 'No! I will thank him for all what he's done for me!'

'I know! How about I visit him tomorrow first thing in the morning?' Asahina quietly chirped as she broke her somber mood. She then trailed off as she looked at Naegi with a fond look. 'I mean... he did help me out. And it's just to know if he's alright. Besides that, I really do care about him' She added mentally with a bit of blush on her cheeks.

'Now this won't do' Celes thought with a smirk. 'I wouldn't want my knight to suffer alone. Just wait Naegi-kun. I'll be right there to take care of you tomorrow' Her thoughts had an unusual resolute vibe, unlike the many times her mind would provide with every gamble.

'I will be there for you until you get better Naegi-kun!' Ikusaba decidedly thought. 'I may just be a girl that only knows violence. But I'll make sure that you'll always smile like how you do every single day!'

'...I haven't really done anything to show my gratitude in any way, right Naegi-kun?' Kirigiri thought as she eyed her gloved hands. 'If it's because you restored my relationship with my father or not, I will always be there for you this time'

Enoshima looked at the girls with a discerning eye. She then gave small mysterious smirk. More or less, already knowing what was in their minds from the start.

It wouldn't take a genius to see that all of them harbored feelings for the Luckster. And now? Their resolve was already growing.

'It would be troubling just to see all that resolve turn to despair' Enoshima thought before turning her head to look at the screen. Noticing Naegi's movement as her smirk widened. 'I think it's about time'

As they each saw Naegi drink some medicine and lied on the top of his bed, they finally happen to notice the gauzes that were wrapped on both the Luckster's arms.

"Did Naegi-kun also injure his arms?" Asahina said with an obvious hint of worry. "That's a lot of bandages"

"I swear... if I find those people who hurt Naegi-kun..." Maizono's eyes glinted dangerously as she realized how many injuries Naegi had.

"I don't think those are really injuries" They turned to look at the Detective with a hint of surprise.

"What do you mean?" Ikusaba frowned as she didn't understand Kirigiri's statement.

"Don't tell me you all haven't notice?" Kirigiri voice out in legitimate surprise.

"Care to elaborate?" Celes curtly asked.

"Naegi-kun wears them all the time" The new information stuck in all the minds of the girls. "Though, I don't really know the reason why he wears them. I've only started to notice after a week of classes"

"That long...?" Maizono muttered with a befuddled look. To be completely honest, she never noticed Naegi wearing such gauzes on both of his arms. And it really did astonish her. Since it was a known fact that she was the one who'd usually hang around the Luckster quite often. Though, it didn't quite help how the Luckster was prone to wearing lond sleeve hoodies, but still...

A spark of jealousy flickered in her mind. She was slightly envious of the fact that someone managed to notice even such a little detail about the Luckster of their class. She had to step up her game!

"Maybe it's just for looks?" Asahina suggested as she looked at the Luckster with a blush. "And I don't know about all of you but... I think he looks manlier with those" She bashfully commented.

The girls looked quite shocked from the rather blunt comment of the Ultimate Swimmer. Then the girl herself just realized what she's said and blushed quite profusely. Denying the romantic implications that she may have just uttered. But instead of teasing the girl, the other females in the room can't help but frown from her earlier statement.

"Uh huh" Maizono noted as she never took her eyes of the Ultimate Swimmer.

"Yes, quite so" Celes narrowed her eyes.

"...I see" Ikusaba didn't even bother to be subtle and let out a full heated glare.

"..." Kirigiri seems to be contended with a frown on her face.

"W-Why are you all looking at me like that?" Asahina blinked with surprise on her face.

They didn't notice how Enoshima's eyes glinted as she discreetly reached for the nearby remote. Though, she seemed totally amused from the sudden development of the females in the room.

The girls then waited and watched as Makoto slept with no shirt on. Some couldn't help but coo as the sight of a sleeping Naegi warmed their hearts. Then their eyes can't help but gaze awkwardly as they tried to avoid looking at his surprisingly fit body.

"I think that's enough" With that, the screen flickered to black as they whipped their heads to look at an amused Enoshima with a wide grin on her face.

"It seems that everyone is satisfied" The girls suddenly looked aghast at the fact that they had realized what they were doing. Ikusaba, Celes and especially Kirigiri turned their heads as they tried to hide the red dusts on their cheeks.

The latter then gave a fake cough before confronting the Ultimate Fashionista with a stern look.

"What is your intention in making us watch... this" The tone of her voice had a hesitant tone. Not wanting to indicate her thoughts on what she had witnessed. She cursed herself harshly as she knew she had been distracted from her primary goal.

And she could tell that the Ultimate Fashionista would never live it down judging from how her smirk widened even further.

"I'll get straight to the point then" Enoshima decided to grill Kirigiri for another day. She then looked at all the girls with a serious gaze that only held one concentrated emotion.

It was something that made the girls held their breath subconsciously as they doubted that they ever saw the Fashionista show such emotion beneath those blue crystal orbs.

"I love Makoto Naegi. And he's going to be mine"

The Fashionista's voice came out rather casual, as if she was stating a fact. But there was no mistaking that there was an inaudible shout of possessiveness underneath such simple words.

With that declaration, Kirigiri and the other Ultimates only stood dumbfounded.

...before chaos erupted.

""What!?""

"Hm? You want me to say it again?" Enoshima tilted her head innocently. "I love-"

"H-How can you say something like that!?" Maizono stuttered as those words seem to make her feel rather threatened.

"Y-You like Naegi-kun!?" Asahina emitted the words and they tasted rather astringent.

"Not 'like'. Love!" The Fashionista corrected with a pout. But everyone could tell that it did almost nothing to soothe the girl's worries.

As the two more outspoken girls of the group demanded answers from the laughing Fashionista, the three quiet females could only look with various emotions on their faces.

Celes looked quite distressed as her inner frustration was so close to getting out. She was not, in any way, amused in what she just heard as she glared at the Fashionista with venom. Hearing how the girl proclaimed that her knight would be taken didn't appease her mood one bit.

Ikusaba steadied the sudden spike of jealousy within her. Though she already had an idea as to why her sister declared something like this, hearing it firsthand didn't make it any better. She clutched her fists as the obedience that would always linger in the back of her mind was so close to being reduced to dust.

Kirigiri bit her lip as the contemplation of strangling something was becoming more and more satisfying by the second. She had finally sorted out her feelings for the Luckster and she knew she had a satisfying answer. But it appeared her indecision had backfired on her and may just cost her own happiness.

Nonetheless, hearing how a girl so brazenly declare such a thing made numerous sparks to well within each girl's chests.

"What do you even l-love about him?" Maizono questioned- no demanded with a critical eye. This was far from the night she was expecting to go through.

Enoshima stopped her laughter and opt a blank expressionless face. Looking at the idol as if she was stupid or something.

"W-What?" Maizono asked offended from the look.

"Seriously? Are you really asking me that?" Enoshima huffed before cutting the idol off who was about to reply with a hand in front of her face. A smile then blossomed on her face that had all the girls reeling back, especially Ikusaba, who looked distinctly shocked.

"He's a guy that all you could ever ask for" The Fashionista stated dreamily.

The implication there was not missed by the girls in the room. Their expressions looked crossed as no one can deny the meaning in her words.

In their minds, Naegi Makoto was a boy that held the epitome of average. But at the same time, he was so... so much more.

His kind nature already cemented the fact that he was on the better side of the spectrum. His actions were driven with thoughtfulness that everyone can tell was genuine at heart. His meekness only made him more adorable and unintentionally showed his modesty. And just recently, the girls in the room marveled the fact that they missed how... fit the Luckster could be. It didn't help how he was already quite handsome in the first place.

Though, even without the last part. They knew he was far more than an optimistic borderline innocent boy. Since this was the same boy that fixed their insecurities just because he thought something was wrong. His reason just because he wanted everyone to be happy touched their maiden hearts in an unimaginable level.

"How can we be so sure that you're not just spouting nonsense?" Maizono held her ground. The chances of the girl bluffing were somehow high, at least to her. But instead of getting offended, the Fashionista shot the idol an amused look.

"I can't prove anything but... at least it's better than ignoring him in general" Maizono and Kirigiri winced and turned their heads in mortification. They didn't say anything as they knew it was only a fact. "Oh well, it just means that I can have him all to myself since he's currently single" Enoshima chuckled as a wide grin etched itself on her face. She can practically feel the envy and despair flooding the whole room.

But furthermore, everything she just said was nothing more than the truth. If they didn't want to believe her, then that's their mistake. It just means that she would eventually feel their delicious despair over the fact that she had taken the boy they held feelings for. And the better part of it all? She would finally have her Luckster by her side!

On another note, she can't help but feel disappointed. Even more so towards a certain detective and idol. It was infuriating to think that the Luckster only got the cold treatment right after he had gave his genuine efforts that may had just change their lives for the better. It wasn't an excuse if they were just indecisive or sorting their feelings. The problem was that it wasn't what the Luckster deserved.

So what better way than to instigate them and coerce them into spying on the Luckster undercover. Before deliberately declaring a competition. While there were major surprises, it seemed that it was a needed push to make them shake their own shackles and smack them with common sense.

This was the last time she would give her own graces since they were acting dimwitted. Other than the fact that it would be priceless to see their despair-ful faces just because they failed in reciprocating their feelings. She herself didn't want a meager challenge if it concerns a certain Luckster's heart.

It was because she wanted to show her own efforts in making the Luckster hers. It's as simple as that. No fancy Ultimate titles, no despair fetishes and no extravagant plan in turning the world into Despair. Just a girl vying with all her heart to make her feelings known.

The girls, unknown to the Fashionista's thoughts, had their questions came to a full stop until one brief moment later. All the irrelevant details completely casted aside as they realize what the Fashionista was practically alluding to.

It didn't matter if the Fashionista was lying. Or even if this was all staged from the start. It didn't change the fact that they didn't want to lose their Luckster without a fight.

And like an explosion, their fears, anticipation and disbelief from earlier events came pouring out from their chests as they shouted the words-

"LIKE THE HELL HE'S GOING TO BE YOURS!"

And thus, the epic battle of hope and despair continue onwards!

[HopE/DesPaiR]

AN: And the end.

Before you leave, I left a sort of epilogue for this chapter. Just a little something if you want me to continue this fanfic for the foreseeable future. I got some weird, fantastic and dumb ideas waiting!

Oh, and about my other fics.

Don't worry. Almost all of them are finished. I'm just changing some things here and there since I can't seemed to be satisfied with the new chapters. So expect some sudden updates if I truly finish one of them.

And here's the sort of epilogue. Make sure to read it! It's kinda long.

[HopE/DesPaiR]

Next Morning

Maizono and Asahina walked along the halls with sullen expressions. The unusual duo trudged the hallways as each of their shoulders were slumped down. Not even bothering to greet one another as they quietly met up seconds ago.

"N-Naegi-kun wasn't there" Asahina muttered as she somberly bit her lips. She had planned to visit the Luckster like what she had intended. Even forgoing to tell her best friend that she would go rather early.

The Ultimate Swimmer sighed as she knew it was all for naught. Though, she honestly wanted to see if the Luckster was okay. A bigger part of her felt... threatened as she recalled what the Fashionista said last night. And something compelled her to check if the Luckster was 'safe' from her manicured 'claws'.

"..." Maizono walked with an empty smile on her blank face. Clutching the cellphone in her hands rather tightly as it gave an audible squeak.

She had recently found out that someone had called her right after she turned her phone on. As an idol, she had the tendency to switch her phone's setting into 'silent'. Not wanting to be disturbed whenever she had work to do or she and her group had practices. But now, she was really contemplating to punch herself for her miscalculations.

The person who had called her was Makoto Naegi himself.

She checked to see what time he had called. But upon seeing the history of the call, she was this close to ripping her hair out then and there.

It was the exact time where they had seen him call someone last night. The time where they had this great idea to spy on the Luckster and had even made some conjectures on his private time. She had, after all, didn't even deny the fact that they indeed had spied on him. Even if it was Enoshima who had instigated them in the first place.

Nonetheless, the fact that the Luckster called her last night for some possible help... to only be ignored by her, stabbed deeply in her heart.

"I-I'm..." Her hands were almost white due to the pressure she was giving. She swore here and now that she would never make that same mistake again.

"Naegi-kun!?" The Ultimate Pop Sensation whipped her head up front as she heard Asahina's shout.

"M-Maizono-san? Asahina-san?" The Ultimate Lucky student blinked in response.

There, in all his (mis)fortune, was the Luckster in both the girl's mind. Standing in front of the door with his usual hoodie. His head turned to them with confusion ridden on his face.

Maizono didn't even bother to hesitate and sprint towards the boy. Her lips turning into a jovial smile as she neared where the Luckster was standing on. Reaching for his jacket as she prepared to greet the Luckster hello and ask if he was alright.

It would've been a perfect moment but...

"Huh?" Maizono stopped as she realized numerous hands gripping on the Luckster's clothes like she did.

"Wha...?" Kirigiri frowned as she saw numerous faces.

"Oh my..." Celes giggled with narrowed eyes.

"What are you doing?" Ikusaba glared at all the girls currently standing near the Luckster.

"Um..." Asahina nervously muttered but still didn't let go of her soft grip.

Five girls blinked in unison as they stood apart from each other. Each of their hands gripping the Luckster's clothes. The detective had her gloves on the Luckster's hoodie in the back. The gambler and soldier had their hold on his left sleeve. While the idol and swimmer occupied Makoto's left sleeeve. Overall, it was a very weird sight for the Luckster who seemed greatly surprised.

"I-Is there something wrong?" Naegi said as he looked genuinely lost on what was going on.

The girls' ears didn't hear the question as their confusion turned into suspicion before changing into outright anger. But before they could even speak, the door opened to reveal the person that had un(in)tentionally drive them to literally act like school girls with a crush.

"Makoto-kun!" The Ultimate Fashionista immediately enveloped the Luckster in a loving embrace. "Hmm? Your fever's gone already? I'm so glad!" She said with a cutesy tone in her voice.

"E-Enoshima-san!?" The Luckster's face immediately gained an atomic blush as he could feel two soft cushions right in front of his face. He tried to move away, but it seems the Fashionista was adamant in letting him feel such soft sensations.

The knowledge of how the Fashionista somehow knew that he had a fever didn't even pass his mind.

"Muu~ It's Junko! Didn't I tell you to call me by my first name?" The girl pouted with huff as she tenderly moved Naegi's face away from her well-developed breasts, much to his relief. But she hurriedly placed her soft hands on the Luckster's cheeks, not exactly letting him go.

Nonetheless, it only made the Luckster's face explode in red as their faces where practically inches apart.

The other girls behind him could only gawked from the sight. Their eyes then glinted as their anger from earlier quickly twisted to furious jealousy. As they howled-

"LET GO OF HIM ALREADY!"

The start of the morning was filled with shouts of jealous females and screams of a terrified Luckster. It would only be a matter of time until the Ultimate Moral Compass quelled the chaos. Or even more likely get sent to the infirmary as all knew that it's quite foolish to get between a girl and her loved one. Much less, six (and counting) girls gunning for the same (un)lucky boy.

Unknown to them however, this was only the start of the Luckster's path of hope and despair.

Yesterday

Class 77-Bth

"Sensei! Sensei! Ibuki is calling you!"

"What!? I'm busy here!"

"Ano... I-I don't think a t-teacher should s-shout like tha- I-I-I-I'm sorry for suddenly talking!"

"You pig! Who gave you the permission to talk!?"

"I-I-I'm really sorrrrrrry!"

"We've talk about this Hiyoko! Be nice! And you don't have to apologize Mikan"

"Sense-"

"THAT WOULDN'T DO MIODA! STRETCH YOUR VOCAL CHORDS!"

"Ibuki understands! SENSEI!"

"What's with the racket!? I'm sleeping right here!"

"Like anyone would care if you're sleeping, baby face"

"What did you just say you little brat!?"

"You're the little brat!"

"Grrr!"

"Do you want me to silence her Young Master?"

"S-Silence!? Can I get out of here first? I don't want to be a witness!"

"Is this going to be one of those detective J-Drama that I've been watching!?"

"Uh no Sonia-san. I don't think it's-

"Oooh! I want to be a witness!"

"Witness? Hehehe. Sonia-san, would you want to learn the arts of voyeuris-

"Stop that thought Hanamura-kun. That's disgusting. Don't twist Sonia's words"

"That's rude! I'm just-AHHHHH!"

"My Four Dark Devas of Destruction! Why are you four interfering? This is foolish!"

"Keep those pet of yours under control Gundham!"

"How imprudent! Don't you dare call them as simply as pets! They're the Four-

"*GROWWWWLLLL!*"

"What in the world!? Is that the sound of a behemoth below the trenches of the earth!?"

"I'm hungry!"

"YOU MUST ENDURE AKANE! LUNCH IS ONLY AN HOUR TO GO!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

"...Uh guys? Is there anyone sane left to stop this?"

"..."

"Huh? You're strangely quiet Komaeda-kun"

"Oh. Oh! You don't have to worry about a lowlife like me Ryouta-kun! I'm just pleased to see all of them full of hope!"

"Suspicious. What is it? Speak up"

"Hahaha! I'm honored for an Ultimate to ask me what's on my mind! Really, I'm too blesse-!"

"Everyone. Let Mioda-san speak up. So please be quiet... I think"

"Is that a picture of a boy sensei!?"

"Wha-? Ibuki-chan! Hey! Give it back!"

"Let's see. Let's see. Hey! Isn't this that nice guy who-"

"No! Not my picture of Makoto-chan!"

"Geez sensei! If the other teachers get word of this, you'll be in grave trouble"

"It's love, Mahiru-chan! How can you be so cruel!?"

"He's so cute! It's not fair to hog him all to yourself sensei!"

"Give it back!"

"Look guys! Look!"

"Wait a minute... isn't that the guy who was in that concert a week ago? I think he's one of-"

"Class 78th right?"

"Those eyes!"

"What the hell Komaeda!?"

"It's that boy! He's full of hope! Hahaha! I can't believe I didn't even recognize-"

"Shut up!"

"H-Huh? N-N-Naegi-kun!?"

"Naegi...kun?"

"Do you know who he is Mikan?"

"Speak pig!"

"S-S-Sorry!"

"He's cute... I think"

"Whooooah! Even the quiet class representative Nanami says so!"

"So, who's he sensei?"

Yukizome sighed as she vehemently rubbed her temples with a childish pout. Looking at the eager looks that her students were shooting at her. Even the more uptight ones seem to be intrigued by the person in the picture. But she couldn't help but smile as she wondered what type of eventuals impact the certain Luckster will have on this rowdy class.

[HopE/DesPaiR]

Class 79th

"A-Akamatsu-san. Can you untie this-"

"No"

"Why not!?"

"You have to repent"

"What's going on?"

"Help me Amani-chan!"

"If you help him, you'll die"

"...What did you do?"

"Hey guys!"

"Is that you Gokuhara-chan!? You've got to help me!"

"Gonta will be happy to help- Mmmph!?"

"Let them be Gokuhara. You don't want to face an angry class representative. It wouldn't take a genius to see she isn't essentially stable right now"

"Even you Shinguji-chan!?"

"Uh, what did you do this time?"

"You can just shut up Kib- Urgk!"

"There, he's out cold now"

"Y-You're really scaring me Akamatsu-san. This is so unlike you!"

"What are all of you standing around for!?"

"Look! Oma-kun's gurgling! Did someone cast a curse spell on him?"

"Don't worry! Angie is certain that Atua will guide him to the light!"

"That's not funny!"

"Good afternoon Chabashira-san, Yumeno-san, Yonaga-san"

"How can you smile like that!?"

"Hmm. Weird. You seem unusually energized Yumeno-san. And Chabashira-san, why do you look so pissed?"

"Some man violated Yumeno-san! Tenko can't believe it!"

"If you must know Shinguji-san, a nice senior filled me up with MP points! I'm completely refreshed!"

"Grrr! At least Tenko gave that guy a concussion. He can keep his filthy hands to himself!"

"...And the context?"

"Nyahahahaha! Finally, at least one of you dolts got laid!"

"That is really inappropriate Iruma-san"

"Shut the fu*k up Momota. Think about your virginity first before you go out to space!"

"Fu*k you!"

"Oooh! Burn!"

"What's happening here?"

"There seems to be festivities"

"...Did someone die or something? About time"

"Hoshi-kun, Tojo-san, Harukawa-san"

"Seriously Akamatsu-san, how can you suddenly act like this? And Harukawa-san, don't say that with expectation!"

"What are you talking about? I'm fine~ Hehehe"

"What the hell!?"

"Okay. What is happening here? No. Seriously"

"I don't know Hoshi-kun. Probably something that Kokichi-san did earlier"

"You're all still her-? A-Akamatsu-san!?"

"Are we interrupting something?"

"Hey Saihara-kun, Shirogane-san. Glad that you can make it"

"Make it to what!? Why is Kokichi's mouth foaming like that? And why is he tied up?"

"I'll tell you Saihara-kun. This lump here injured an upperclassman!"

"Woah! Cool down Akamatsu-san. I know Oma-kun can be a little irritating-"

"Irritating!? His pranks went too far!"

"...Hoshi-kun. Can't you calm her down?"

"Are you an idiot Amani? I value my life thank you very much"

"Um... anyone?"

"Let's just wait for her to calm dow-"

"Hahaha! I'm alive! I'm aliv-Gurkh!"

"Stop Akamatsu-san! You're going to kill him!"

"No Momota-kun. I think it's better for him to stay down"

"F*ck that! Hoshi-kun, Ki-Bo, Chabashira-san! Hold her!"

"W-Wha...!? Hey! Let me go!"

"Sorry Akamatsu-san. This is for the best. Please send her to Tsumiki-senpai!"

"No! Let me goooooo!"

"Now that's outta the way. Does anyone here knows what exactly happened?"

As the juniors questioned Kokichi, who made Akamatsu go nuts, after he woke up. The Ultimate Supreme Leader finally gave in and told them of an accident with a certain Luckster. The boy was prompted to another concussion by the very same pianist who somehow managed to escape the holds of three strong Ultimates. There, the interest bloomed into curiosity as they asked who this mysterious upperclassman was after connecting some dots.

[HopE/DesPaiR]

AN: Truthfully, I haven't played DV3 yet. I did my best to observe their interactions and characteristics with the fanfics I mentioned earlier and a little bit of Wiki without spoiling myself. And personally, I don't think I did a really good job.

Well, anyway. I'll wait for your reviews to decide if this will be continued.
