Chapter 3

What Happens Next?
First Impressions!
The first girl we could find was a short girl with short brown hair and wore a green winter school uniform.
"Oh I recognize her! That's Chihiro, she's the Ultimate Programmer! She has a huge fan base on the internet!", Makoto says with a smile on his face.
"Why's that? Is it because of her programs?", I ask.
"Trust me, once you talk to her, I think you'll see why", Makoto says as we walk up to her.
"Hey, you're Chihiro right?", I ask the girl as I walk up to her.
She jumps slightly and turns to look at me, "Y-Yes, I'm C-Chihiro"
I give her a big smile, "So this is the legendary Ultimate Programmer, huh? I'm John Doe, the Ultimate Boyfriend".
I extend my hand towards her. She hesitates for a second, but eventually gives me a handshake.
"S-Sorry, I'm really bad with it comes to introductions", she stutters.
"It's fine Chihiro. I think you're doing fine", I say.
I can see why she has such a huge fan base. She's adorably shy. But, there's something that's throwing me off about her. I just don't know what it is.
Me and Chihiro said our goodbyes and I made my way back to Makoto.
"I completely understand what you mean now. She's adorable", I laugh.
Makoto chuckles, "Yeah, her fans are practically in love with her".
We then found a girl with a tan wearing a red jacket and shorts talking to a super muscular dude with long hair that's wearing........a sailor uniform? Huh?
"Um, Makoto, please explain", I say pointing to the muscular guy.
Makoto's eyes widen, "I have no explanation. But I do recognize that girl Aio Asahina, the Ultimate Swimmer".
As we made our way to the two of them, we overheard their conversation.
"I know they're really bad for you, but I can't even go a day without eating some dounuts. In fact I could go for one right now", Aio says while he rubs her stomach.
"I'm pretty sure they have some in the cafeteria", I say from behind her.
Aio and the person she's talking to both turn to look at us.
"Wait, what did you just say?!", Aio says as a fire lights in her eyes.
"Well according to the map on the e-handbook, next to the first floor dorms there's a cafeteria and a kitchen. I'm sure they probably have dounuts. If they aren't there, then try the warehouse that's next to the stairs leading up to the second floor of the the dorms", I say smiling at her.
"Yes!! Sakura, let's hurry before someone steals all my dounuts", Aio says as she's about to run off.
Wait, Sakura? Is she talking to that muscular dude? Wait, IS THAT A GIRL?!?!
Aio stops herself from running and turns back to you, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Aio Asahina, the Ultimate Swimmer. But you can just call me Hina!".
She gives me a big smile, which causes my cheeks to heat up.
"Nice to meet you, Hina! I'm John Doe, the Ultimate Boyfriend", I smile back.
"Ultimate Boyfriend? Yeah, right! Is that your attempt at flirting? Cause it's pretty pathetic", she says putting her hands on her hips.
I put my hands up and start laughing, "It's the honest truth, I'm the Ultimate Boyfriend. At least, according to the school and ex-girlfriends I am"
"Well I'll be the judge of that", Hina says, folding her arms.
I smirk, "I'd need to be your boyfriend in order for you to judge my talent. Though, I would definitely not oppose to that"
Hina's cheeks become red, "T-That wasn't....I didn't mean......I'll meet you at the cafe, Sakura"
Hina then stomps off, mumbling under her breath. The three of us can't help but start laughing.
"I suppose I should introduce myself as well. I am Sakura, the Ultimate Martial Artist. It's a pleasure to meet you", she says before leaves to chase after Hina.
"Okay, I'm actually starting to believe that you are the Ultimate Boyfriend", Makoto chuckles as we search for more students.
"It's a blessing and a curse. I always just assumed I was doing what ever other guy does. Didn't think I had some amazing talent", I shrug.
Makoto sighs, "Wish I could have some hidden talent like you"
"Trust me, I have the feeling your luck will prove useful", I smile at Makoto.
But Makoto suddenly stops dead in his tracks and seems to be staring at something.
"You okay dude," I ask with a worried look on my face.
I look forward to see what or rather, who he was staring at. Even I recognize this face, it's Sayaka Maizono. Sayaka is the leader of an extremely popular all-girl pop band. She is absolutely gorgeous, with her long blue hair and fit body.
I smirk widely at Makoto, "Something catch your eye, huh Makoto?"
His face immediately became flushed, "I-Its nothing"
I elbow him in the side, "Hey, there's no shame in admitting it. Every guy in Japan has a crush on Sayaka"
"Well, it's not that. I actually know her", he says while scratching the back of his head.
"Wait, what?!?! You know Sayaka Maizono?! You dirty little lier", I laugh.
"N-No it's true! We went to the same middle school together. Though we never actually talked......", Makoto sighs.
A wicked smile grows on my face, "I'll let you in on a little known secret. I have a second talent and that is, The Ultimate Wingman"
Makoto glares at me, "What are thinking in that twisted mind of yours?"
I grab his arm and start dragging him towards Sayaka, "Trust me, I am the Ultimate Wingman after all!"
"But, you're not", Makoto mumbles.
We walk up behind Sayaka and I say, "Sayaka Maizono, one of the most talented musicians to have ever graced the earth. A friend of mine always said that her musical stylings have completely changed the music genre as a whole. Her stage presence is so powerful that she could even light up a funeral. And to top it all off amazing grace and beauty on and off the stage. As my friend would say, she's the definition of a perfect human being"
She turns around to look at us, her face reddened, and smirks at me, "And who's this friend of yours? They sound like a real sweet talker"
Makoto definitely owes me one.
"This man right here next to me, Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Lucky Student", I say as I pull Makoto in front of me.
"H-Hi", he nervously says, not even looking at Sayaka.
"Wait, Makoto? That sounds familiar...", she says looking at him curiously.
And just like that, boom. They start talking about their old middle school and old memories. Sayaka gives me the occasional glance and smirk, but she mainly focuses on Makoto. For the first time in my life, I think I might be a third wheel.
Huh, so this is what it feels like? I pity my friends at my old school now.
Feeling awkward, I slowly start to back away, trying to escape the roll of third wheel. Makoto is so distracted by Sayaka, he doesn't even notice. Sayaka on the other hand sees me backing away and gives me a quick wink before she completely focuses on Makoto.
The Sayaka Maizono just winked at me. Hope's Peak Academy is the greatest place on the earth.
Now alone, I seek out the last few classmates I've yet to meet.
As I'm walking through the halls I see a short girl with brown hair in two braids and wearing glasses.
I remember seeing her at the initiation. She doesn't look quite happy, maybe she needs a friend.
"Excuse me, miss?", I ask the girl.
"W-What do y-you want?", she asks with a scowl on her face.
"You just looked like you were upset", I try to explain.
"O-oh that's w-why you t-talked to me. Y-You just p-pity me because I'm u-ugly", she stutters
"W-Wait, that's not it at all!", but before I can fully explain she leaves, cursing me under her breath.
Well that could have gone better. I didn't even get to learn her name. Someone definitely has an inferiority complex.
I walk into the cafeteria, at one table I see Hina sitting with Sakura, inhaling donuts as fast as she can. With a mouth full of donuts, she spots me at the entrance and shots me a glare. I respond by giving her a bright smile and a wink. Her face gets bright red and she looks away from me, causing me to laugh.
At the other table I see Hifumi playing cards with a girl that looks to be into gothic stuff, based on her attire. I can't even tell if she's Asian or not. Hifumi looks to be in distress.
I walk over to the table saying, "Hifumi, everything ok?"
"S-She took everything, Mr. Doe..... The money I was gonna use on manga and figures. She even took my mint condition camera I won at an anime convention", Hifumi says with a look of shock and disappointment on his face.
"I take it he is referring to you , miss......?, I ask the girl sitting across from Hifumi.
"Celestia Ludenburg, or just Celeste, the Ultimate Gambler at your service", she flashed me a somewhat sinister smile.
My eyes widen as I turn to Hifumi, ".......You played cards........against someone called.......the Ultimate Gambler"
"A-At the time it sounded like a good idea", he tries to explain, "Mr Doe, please, get back my money and camera! That camera is limited edition"
I sigh and pull out my wallet, "How much do you want for the camera?"
Celeste smirks, "How about this, if you can beat me in a game, I'll return Hifumi's money and camera. But, if I win, then I get a favor"
I raise an eyebrow, "What kind of favor?"
Celeste giggles, "That will be determined at a later date"
"Um I don't know abo-", before I can finish my sentence Hifumi cuts me off
"He accepts your challenge, madam!", he says.
Don't speak for me when it's your ass I'm trying to save!
I take a seat infront of Celeste as she shuffles the cards. I have one strategy that was never failed me. Sweet talking the girl till she screws up. All the girls I've ever played games with always fall for that one. I'm sure it will work on the Ultimate Gambler.
~10 minutes later~
I am 99% certain this girl is not human. No matter what dumb joke I said or what compliment I gave her, she didn't smile or even blush. It's like she was in her own little world. She completely kicked my ass.
Celeste is smirking at me as I hang my head in defeat, "You lasted a few minutes longer than I thought you would. Oh I never got your name"
I sigh, "Name's John Doe......the Ultimate Boyfriend"
"Oh that explains your constant attempts at flirting. Though I will admit", she placed her head on hands and smiles, "it was cute watching you struggle"
Hifumi raises his glasses, "Has our hero finally met his match?! Find out on the next episode of Hope's Peak Z!"
I glare at Hifumi, "You know what I just realized Hifumi? I wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't opened your god damn mouth" I shoot up from my seat and begin walking towards Hifumi.
"N-Now Mr. Doe, I-I'm sure you aren't the type to h-hold grudges. But um, would you look at the time, I have a fanfic to update!", Hifumi says before he runs for the next.
"You are so dead!!", I yell as I chase after Hifumi.
As we run through the halls, Hifumi runs past two girls. One has pink hair that are in pigtails and the one walking behind her has black hair in a ponytail.
Hifumi runs past them just fine, but as I run past I accidentally bump into the girl with the pigtails. Almost immediately the black haired girl grabs my arm and pins me to the wall, twisting my arm behind my back.
"Mukuro, who the hell is this worm?", the pink haired girl asks with a disgusted look on her face.
"I am not aware of his identity", Mukuro says.
She then twist my arm farther, "Name and talent! Now!"
"John Doe! I-I'm the Ultimate Boyfriend! Please let me go!", I beg.
The pink haired girl sighs, "As much as I would love to watch you **** this quote on quote Ultimate Boyfriend, I still need us to take care of a few things. You can play with him later Mukuro"
Mukuro lets me go and begins walking away with her friend.
I guess I know who not to mess with now.
Man, Makoto is probably flirting up a storm with Sayaka. Meanwhile I now owe Celeste a favor and got hurt by that Mukuro girl. Screw this, I'm going to my dorm.
I walk over to my dorm, mumbling under my breath. As I insert the key into my door the door next to my room opens.
You know those moments when it feels like everything around you just slows down to a halt. That's how I'm feeling looking at this girl that just walked out of her dorm.
Long lavender hair that's the same color as her eyes. A button up white shirt with a red tie and small purple jacket. Black skirt and knee high boots. And gloves on both of her hands.
I stop what I'm doing and just stare at her for a few seconds.
The girl looks at with an annoyed look on her face, "Can I help you?", she crosses her arms.
"U-Um, h-hey. I never introduced myself to you, r-right?", I stretch out my hand and smile nervously, "John Doe, U-Ultimate B-Boyfriend"
She takes my hand and shakes it, "Kyoko Kirigiri, the Ultimate Detective. Are we done here?"
She quickly walks away, all I can do is stare as she leaves. I don't think I ever met a girl that beautiful before in my life.
Maybe today hasn't been such a bad day after all.
.....Wait, Kirirgiri? CRAP! IS SHE RELATED TO THE HEADMASTER?!?!?!?!
