The massive high school towered over all the other buildings in the bustling urban area. It was like the school stood at the center of the entire world; Hope's Peak Academy. It brought in top students from every field imaginable. A government-funded school of privilege...

They say that if you came here and managed to graduate, you'd be set for life. With hundreds of years of tradition, it sent the cream 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 were two things you needed to attend this school. One, you had to already be attending high school. Two, you had to be the very best at what you do. No ordinary student could enroll here. The only way in was if you were scouted by the school itself.

And just arriving at the gate of the ultimate school filled with the ultimate students in the middle of March, was you. There you were, standing in front of the anything but ordinary Hope's Peak Academy. It had an overwhelming presence... like it was trying to swallow you whole.

There would be students like the Ultimate Pop Sensation, the Ultimate Baseball Star, the Ultimate Fashionista, and the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader attending the school, and that was just four out of many. So much talent in one school... and you were a part of them.

Now, actually standing there in front of the school, you couldn't help but think back to when you got that acceptance letter, which had mentioned how graduating was a "guarantee for success" later in life, and couldn't help the flicker of hope that filled you.

This was no time to dawdle on such thoughts, though. You couldn't just stand in front of the gate forever. While it was mentioned there would be a meeting for all incoming students in the main hall at eight o' clock, you knew the meeting still wasn't for a short while, despite not knowing the time at the moment. Either way, you certainly might as well head in.
