Chapter 3: Introductions Part 1

You were calmly staring at the blue ocean, leaning your back on a tree.

'So I'm on an uninhabited island with sixteen strangers and a talking rabbit, and I must get along with them as school work... So realistic...'

"Uhm... Hello."

You jumped. Ahoge-boy and the albino was standing in front of you.

"Ah! Hajime, this is the girl who saved your butt." The albino smiled.

"The hell do you mean she saved my butt!?" sweatdropped this so called Hajime.

"When you fainted, she cought you before you fell."

Hajime blushed.

"Don't blush. I didn't do it on purpose. It was just a reflex." you said coldly.

"A-Ah..."

"We're here for an introduction, if you don't mind." smiled the albino.

"Do what you will..." you mumbled.

"Cool! I'm Nagito Komaeda."

"Ah, and my talent... It's pretty disappointing, you know." he held up his hands as he smiled awkwardly.

"I don't care about the details." you simply said.

"Well... I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student. There is a-" he started, but you didn't care.

"You?" you asked Hajime.

"U-Uhh... I'm Hajime Hinata..." he murmured, obviously embarassed of your cold glare.

"Talent?"

"U-Uhm... I..."

"He has some kind of shock, he doesn't remember his talent." explained Nagito.

"Ah." you took your eyes off from the guys, gesturing you finished the conversation.

"Well... And you?" asked Nagito politely.

"... Name's [F/N] [L/N]. Talent's Ultimate Assassin."

"A-Assassin!? What the heck!?" panicked Hajime, taking a step backwards. You rolled your eyes.

"Haha. As you can see, this little lady is pretty agressive. She is the best assassin of a gang named Crazy Pitbulls. (IDK, random name) She has extremely fast reflexes and can walk behind you without you hearing a sound. But we don't have to worry, because she just kills for work, not fun, but best to be careful around her." You widened your eyes as Nagito said those things. You immediately pulled out your knife, and held it to his throath.

"How. Did you. Get. That. Information." you said in a threatening voice. You didn't realize that your faces were just inches away from each other, but apparently Nagito did, because his cheeks were a faint pink. But he quickly changed it to a smile.

"See, Hajime? That's what I'm talking about. Please, [F/N], would you let me go?" he asked politely.

"Not until you answered my question." you said through your teeth.

"Ah, it's on Hope's Peak Academy's forum. There is information about every student." he informed you. You growled, and you let him go.

"Now leave me alone." you ordered.

"We are going  and introducing Hajime to everyone. I didn't see you introducing yourself either... Do you want to come with us?" asked Nagito smiling.

"No." you answered.

"No?" he repeated surprised.

"No."

"Really?"

"Really."

"You don't wanna?"

"I don't wanna."

"Pretty please?"

"You'll not leave me alone until I said yes, right?"

"Pretty much."

You rolled your eyes and sighed.

"Fine, whatever..."

"Cool! Come on." he cheered, and started to leave the beach with Hajime. You sighed dramatically, and followed the two boys.

~At the airport~

'This is an uninhabited island, and they have an airport. Seriously?'

"...Airplanes?" asked Hajime hesitantly.

"We're at an airport, Einstein..." you mumbled.

"Couldn't we use those planes to escape this island?" he asked in a hopeful voice.

All of a sudden, the pink-haired guy popped out of nowhere, saying "Nah, that's impossible." You jumped, and immedatiely pulled out your knife.

"AAAH, WHAT THE HECK!?" he screamed, looking at the weapon in your hand.

"Ah. It's just... You." you said, and put your knife back to it's sheath.

"... What the heck was that!?" he asked angrily.

"Reflex. Sorry." you answered monotonely. Then you remembered why he was there. "So why exactly is it impossible?"

"Eh?... Oh, that. If they were damaged, I could fix 'em, but it looks like those planes are just for show..."

"Just for show...?" Hajime repeated, confused.

"The engines have been completely removed. Nothing I can do about that." he explained.

"...Completely removed?" he asked again.

"You don't have to repeat his every word, you know..." you murmured, irritated.

"Ah, s-sorry..." he apologized. You heard him mutter to himself "Why am I being so polite...???"

"Oh yeah, that reminds me... You two and me haven't been introduced yet, right?" The pink-haired guy asked, realising who you were.

"Name's Kazuichi Soda. I'm the Ultimate Mechanic. Nice to meet ya."

"As expected from someone called the Ultimate Mechanic, Kazuichi is a savant when it comes to fixing machines. If he says it's impossible to fix this plane, it's truly beyond repair." explained Nagito smiling.

"Even so... To actually remove the engine, whoever's keeping us here must've planned this to a T." Kazuichi sighed.

"You think so too, huh... Doesn't that seem pretty strange to you?" questioned Hajime.

"Yeah, it's pretty strange, but I think it's an acceptable level of strange, y'know?"

"...Huh?"

"Well, think about it... It's not like we're being forced to do something dangerous or anything..." he pointed out. "That was mentioned in the safety precautions for this school trip. Remember? The school trip guidelines written in the e-Handbook?"

"...Eh?" you blurted out.

"You know, in your pocket." he said. You started to fumble in your pocket.

"I have nothing he-..."

You suddenly felt something cold - like metal. You pulled out the thing.

"What the fuck...?" you mumbled.

"That's an e-Handbook. It has the guidelines on it." Nagito helped, smiling at you.

"... Uhhum. Whatever."

You tapped on the 'Rules' icon, and started reading through it.

Rule 1:
Extreme violence is prohibited on this island. Please leave peaceful and relaxing lives with your fellow students.

Rule 2:
Be considerate to each other and work together to obtain Hope Fragments.

Rule 3:
Littering is not allowed. Let us coexist with this island's bountiful nature in "mutual prosperity".

Rule 4:
The lead teacher cannot directly interfere with the students. An expection to this rule is made if any student violates a rule.

"It looks like we're being kept safe, so why wouldn't this be like any other school trip?" questioned Kazuichi sweatdropping.

"There's nothing dangerous on this island... Spend these peaceful and relaxing days nourishing hope... Just as Usami said earlier. It seems these rules are in place to help us do that..." said Nagito, apparently thinking loudly.

"Are you saying you believe what that thing told us? She forced us to come here, you know!?" yelled Hajime flustered.

"Man, don't worry that much. It's not good for your skin." you explained, still with your poker face on.

"I don't care about my skin, okay!?" he blurted out.

"Dipshit..." you murmured.

"Well, I guess it's okay if we just enjoy our vacation and see how this whole thing plays out, right?" Kazuichi grinned. "Heh-heh! If you stare closely at that strange lookin' bunny girl, she might start lookin' pretty cute! Just like her!" he pointed at you.

"U-Uhm, Kazuichi... I don't think that's a good idea..." Nagito said, giving him an awkward smile as he sweatdropped.

"Why? Look at her! She is so short, it's adorable!" he smiled widely.

Nagito widened his eyes, and muttered an "uh-oh".

"...You're so fucking dead, dumbass." you growled, and punched him right in the face.

"OW! Hey, look, I'm sorry, calm dow- OW!!!" you interrupted him with a side kick.

"Next time you call me cute, I'll kill you." you threatened him.

"U-Understood...!" he panicked.

"No, it can't be. Is she really...?" mumbled the guy in a scarf, staring at you.

"... You got a problem?" you asked coldly.

"Shining [H/C] hair... Sparkling [E/C] eyes... Extreme fighting skills..." he continued to mutter, ignoring your question.

"Don't stare at me like that. Fuckin' perv."

"Is your name [F/N] [L/N], perhaps?" he finally asked.

"Uhm... Yeah. That's me." you answered.

"FUHAHAHA! So she finally came! The Dark Queen the Gods of Darkness told me about finally came!" he shouted suddenly.

"... Excuse me?" you gave him a confused glare as you slowly walked to him.

"Oh, yeah. You are not in the knowledge of your powers..." he muttered.

"... What the fuck...?" you stared at him like he was crazy. Maybe he was.

Hajime walked over to you two, but the strange guy stopped him.

"Stop right there. If you value your life, do not come any closer." he threatened.

"Wait, then how am I able to get close to you, huh? You fancy me at first sight, or what?" you questioned, just half jokingly.

"You are the Dark Queen. You cannot die because of poison." he explained.

"What the fu- What poison?" you asked. You really didn't understand how this guy knew you, and what was this 'Dark Queen' thing.

"You will understand. One day." he chuckled under his breath, and then turned to Hajime.

"Wasn't I clear enough? I said don't come any closer, you fiend!" he yelled in his deep voice. Hajime didn't move an inch, just stared at him confused. What an idiot.

"Very well... I shall accept that courage of yours... Kehehe, would you like to know my name?"

'Does this guy can read minds, or what...? No, [F/N], don't think about stupid things.'

"Others may see your courage as recklessness..." he stared at you in the corner of his eyes, "However... I welcome it." He did a weird pose, and started to yell. "In honor of your courage, I shall reveal to you my name. May you never forget it as long as you live!"

"You may call me... Gundham Tanaka! Remember it well, for it is the name that will one day rule this world!"

"Now then, it is my turn to ask questions. Whose master are you?" he asked. Hajime tilted his head and muttered an "eh?".

"Which tribe did you make your pact with? Answer me!" Gundham ordered unpatiently.

"He's asking if you ever had a pet..." you murmured, irritated. You wanted to end this conversation and leave this crazy guy alone as soon as you can.

"Pet...? No... The only animal I've taken care of was a hermit crab we passed around in elementary school." Hajime answered nervously.

"So, a mere insect!" Gundham yelled, shocked. "Hah! Your Magic Essence caps at a lowly five! Trash!"

"T-Trash, really..." Hajime muttered, clearly hurt.

"Hmph! Is it wrong to call trash 'trash'? Trash like you should not dare to speak to one as grand as me or the Dark Queen!" he yelled, gesturing at you and himself.

"Do you know what is he talking about...?" Hajime whispered to you.

"No idea..." You whispered back.

At the next moment, hamsters came out of Gundham's scarf.

"Who do you think I am? I am the great and powerful Gundham Tanaka, Supreme Overlord of Ice!"

"What the fu-" you started.

"Something strange just came out of your scarf!" Hajime pointed out, sweatdropping.

"Taming evil by using myself as a bed... Truly, this is the secret art of the Tanaka Empire!"

"It's like something you'd see on a nature show. I guess he totally fits the bill of Ultimate Breeder..." Nagito explained.

"One of my Four Dark Devas of Destruction, Mirage Golden Hawk Jum-P, has this to say: 'We're not used to going easy on our enemies... So don't make us angry. You wouldn't like us when we're angry.' Fuhaha...! Fuhahahahahahahaha!" he laughed.

"..."

'Okay, I add this guy to the 'Never talk to' list.'

"Uhm, yeah... I know he seems a little odd, but apparently he did splendidly as a member of the Breeding Club. I've heard he can tame any animal and even managed to succeed at proliferating an endangered species. Rumor has it he can speak to animals... Well, that's probably just a joke." chuckled Nagito.

"And a very lame one..." you murmured. "Can we go now?"

"Of course, let's go." smiled Nagito, and began to leave the airport.

"We will meet later, Dark Queen." Gundham nodded at you, smiling.

"... I... Guess?" you answered hesitantly, and you hurried after Nagito and Hajime.
