Danganronpa/D4DJ One-Shots

Reach for the Peak and Pinnacle of Hope

AN: I was watching the latest episode of the Merm4id show on the D4DJ EN channel the day it was posted (Ep9) and Rika's VA drew a picture of Rika that had such strong Junko vibes that I was immediately compelled to make this AU.

Junko stared up at the imposing building before her, Hope's Peak, with eyes as blue as the sky above, dwarfing even the academy's towering spires and gates. A smile spread across her ruby red lips and her teeth shined pure white in the sun.

"Oh, what better way to start such a beautiful morning than by heading to my beautiful class in this beautiful school?!"

Anyone watching would've said she was the cutest thing in the universe, cuter than 100 chihuahuas combined.

Fuckin' stupid-ass boring-ass bullshit! Junko's expression didn't change. Ugghhh, whhyyy? Why do I even have to go this stupid school?! I already know everything they could ever teach me! As the Ultimate Analyst, she could predict what people would say or do perfectly, that included professors. I'd bet somebody's life that I know some of the curriculum better than THEY do, even the tenured ones!

Junko gave a nasty cackle. This was an especially arrogant claim, as she was a first-year.

"Hello! Hello! All new first-years! Right this way, please! Headmaster Jin Kirigiri is providing opening remarks in the academy theater! If anyone needs any help, feel free to just ask me!" An obnoxious, grating voice interrupted Junko's thoughts, and for half a second, Junko saw red.

Who the FUCK is this happy this early?! She whipped around to see a girl with bright orange hair standing only several feet away. She was decked out in Hope's Peak merch from head to toe. Hope's Peak sun visor, Hope's Peak tank top, Hope's Peak shorts, Hope's Peak sandals... To say nothing of all the merch and paper in her arms! (Some of which were, of course, maps).

Junko's nose crinkled and she looked the other girl up and down critically. Gag me with a spoon! She makes pigtails look, well, piggish!

Junko was grossed out to the max to realize that the girl's hair wasn't just an impossible-to-ignore orange, it was also in pigtails almost as poofy as Junko's, if only because of her incessant running back and forth across the academy's entrance hall. Even though she could've just stayed still, it was as if she was on a mission to talk to every first-year that walked by, and there were a lot of them. Some were in Junko's section, some weren't.
