Hope's Peak Academy.

A prestigious high school only for the elite of Japan and renowned by all. The only way to get in was to get scouted as the most talented student in your field and graduation meant guaranteed success in life.

That was the school Hirata Katsumi had been accepted to. Success, later on, was the only reason she needed to go.

There she was, in front of the towering school building, larger than any other high school she had ever seen. She double-checked the last few words of the acceptance letter she had received a while back.

...you have been scouted to join Hope's Peak Academy as the Super High School-Level Biologist.

The title sounded awkward and way too over-the-top. She was much better without it, yet here she was, coming to terms with the fact that it was now going to define her. After all, titles and talents were all that made up this school.

She tried steadying her breathing. Starting at a new school was always stressful. Knowing her way around the place and knowing what norms to follow would be an issue she'd have to overcome soon. At least everyone else would also be just as new and clueless as her.

Just focus on your work and it'll be fine. You don't need anything else.

Her gaze was redirected forward.

Katsumi suddenly blinked a few times. A classroom door was what she was staring at. She was surrounded in Ý̴̜S̷̞̊Ḇ̴̄z̵͍͝d̴̘̓H̴̥͛J̸̘͒h̵͐ͅb̸̬̏m̴̫̾d̸͕̈́l̶̻̃Ȋ̴̼G̷͇̀Ȓ̴̮h̸̩͊c̵̭̽m̶̤̾t̷̗̽u̵̙̚Z̷̼͌X̶͉͆N̶̅͜z̷̯̒ and it was like it was pulling her in.

Without thinking, she slid it open, entering the room.

It was just a normal classroom. She didn't expect any more, after all. There were seventeen desks in total and a few people speckled the room.

The others are probably arriving soon.

She didn't bother greeting any of them and took a seat in the back corner of the classroom. They'd probably all introduce themselves during homeroom so she didn't need to rush. More students trickled in, one at a time.
