This will take place before the tragedy.

Chiaki

"Hello? Y/N, are you online today?"

You

"Y-Yeah, sorry... I just woke up."

Chiaki

"Come on, let's start with the hardest difficulty!"

You

"Seriously? I'm bad at the hardest difficulty in the morning..."

Chiaki

"Uh... Practice makes perfect!"

You

"Hehe... If you say so."

For years, you and Chiaki have been online friends. Yeah, you've seen and heard each other's faces and voices. However, you've never met in real life.

You

"Chiaki! Chiaki are you online?!"

Chiaki

*Yawn* "Sleepy..."

You

"That's great! Next week I'm going to be travelling to your country! I can visit you!"

Chiaki

"That's awesome..." *Yawn*

You had hoped for a more positive response from her.

Chiaki

"Wait... Wait!... That's awesome! When will you be coming here?!"

You

"I... Already said when I was going to be going, but I'll be coming next week!"

Chiaki

"Oh, oh, oh! My classmates are going to love meeting you!"

You

"You think so?"

Chiaki

"Yes yes!

You and Chiaki spent the rest of the week playing video games nonstop until the day arrived when you'd be flying to her country.

You

"Alright, I've gotta go now. I'll see you there Chiaki!"

Chiaki

"Alright! I hope you have a safe flight!"

She went outside and started shopping for items that would surprise you the moment you said those words to her.

Looking out the plane windshield, you could see that you were flying over the clouds, and you were thinking of Chiaki. You couldn't get her off your mind.

After hours of waiting, your plane slowly arrived, and you gazed out the airport window. Japan, there it was.

You

"Wow... Chiaki lives in such an amazing place.

You decided to call Chiaki.

Chiaki

"Y/N! Are you here yet?!"

You

"Yes, I sure am!"

Chiaki

"You are?!"

Chiaki's scream was audible as she tried to contain it.

Chiaki

"Okay, okay, okay! Meet me at the front gates of the school called Hope's Peak Academy!"

You

Hope's Peak... Isn't that the school that gets all the people with Ultimate Talents together? It sounds like an amazing school.

You looked up Hope's Peak on your map and began walking along a road that would take you there.

Finally, you've arrived. Because of how massive the building was, you knew it was Hope's Peak.

You

What a huge school building...

You walked around the campus, searching for Chiaki anywhere.

???

"Hey! You must be... Y/N, correct?"

You

"Yes, I am... How'd you know my name?"

???

"I would like you to follow me, please. This is a request from Chiaki."

You walked into the school after the lady. You turned back and enjoyed the entire building as you walked down the corridors.

Class 77-B

"Welcome!"

You

"Woah!"

Chiaki

"Y/N!"

Chiaki rushed up to you and hugged you tightly.

You

"Meeting you in real life feels so amazing..."

Chiaki

"Everyone! As you know, this is Y/N!"

You

"You talk about me here?"

Mahiru

"Yeah, she never stops talking about you!"

You chuckled.
