Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Lucky Student, gets invited with all the other Ultimate to go to a prestigious school. Everything seemed fine until some weird bear came along and started making everyone kill eachother. Can Makoto save herself and her fel...
The massive high school towers over all the other buildings in this bustling urban area. It's like the school stands at the center of the entire world.
It brings in top students from every field imaginable. A government-funded school of privilege. They say that if you come here and manage to graduate, you'll be set for life. With hundreds of years of tradition, it sends the brown of the crop into the work force every year. It was built to raise hope in the nation's future. Which makes Hope's Peak a pretty fitting name.
There are two things you need to attend this school... One, you have to already be attending high school. Two, you have to be the very best at what you do. No ordinary student could enroll here. The only way in is if you're scouted by the school itself.
And standing there at the gate of the ultimate school filled with the ultimate students......was me.

Before we go any farther, I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Makoto Naegi.
As you can see, I'm nothing but a hopelessly average high school student. Average on the outside, average on the inside and trust me, it's much more horrible for a girl to be that way than a guy.
I really don't have much going for me when it comes to grades, special abilities, even personality. I mean yeah, I have hobbies and stuff I like to do, but it's not like I'm a psychic or mutant or whatever. Like, if you asked me what my favorite song was, or my favorite movie or TV show... They'd all just be whatever's most popular at that particular moment. Even among the average, I'm completely average. I don't feel particularly feminine or tomboyish either. So, I can't even say I'm your typical "pick me girl" or "girly girl" type. That's just who I am, and I completely hate it.
Anyway, I figure it's always good to introduce yourself right off the bat. But if I have any kind of "strong point," so to speak... I'd say I'm a little more aggressive than other people.
I mean still look at me! I'm completely ordinary, but still... Here I am, standing in front of the anything but ordinary Hope's Peak Academy.
I still can't believe I'm standing here. I wonder if someone like me can survive in a place like this...
It's got this overwhelming presence...like it's trying to swallow me whole. But it's no wonder I would feel that way. What you have to understand is... Well, let me just tell you about the "preparation" I did last night to get ready for today.
