a school?
what kind of school is it this time?

[evidentiary]

One for talented students.

[adoringpast]

so a school for gifted kids?
that's not out of the ordinary at all

[evidentiary]

That depends entirely on the gifts, doesn't it?

[adoringpast]

what kind are we talking about here?

because ive already heard that someone used to go to a hero school in their past and im like
okay? that sure is a school for gifted kids as well

[evidentiary]

The kind that takes people like an "idol" and a "fortune teller".

[adoringpast]

wait they accept idols in that school too??

[evidentiary]

Only the best.

[adoringpast]

if they really are the best they wouldnt enroll in a stupid idol school in the first place

but that's just me

[ sort of... speaking from experience here ]

aside from idols there are fortunetellers too?
this all sounds suspicious tbh

[evidentiary]

No, in this case they really would be the very best of the best.

[adoringpast]

man
i don't get how that concept is that big of a deal in other worlds
let me guess, that school is in japan too?
like what the hell
they're just fucking idols

[evidentiary]

Being the very top of any field is a big deal, probably...? At least to those who are also in that field.

But, you said "too". So, is that "hero school" also in Japan, or are you referring to another topic?

[adoringpast]

im not sure if there's a hero school in japan considering that it's a common setting in most superhero stories
but what do i know, i don't watch or read any of that shit

[ he pauses, mulling over whether he should tell kyouko... then: ]

this may not seem like a big deal to you but it is for me and some other people
apparently me and a bunch of guys used to go to this idol school named Yumenosaki Academy
have you heard of anything like that here?

[evidentiary]

No. I've only spoken to a few people who were willing to discuss what they remembered with me, and none of those persons mentioned Yumenosaki Academy.

Dreams, is it? While these seem like good names for schools, I do wonder about them.

[adoringpast]

exactly
it was too specialized of a school, from what i can remember
idk how anyone would even consider going there just for the sake of their dreams

speaking of names of schools, what's the name of the one you mentioned with the gifteds?

[evidentiary]

Presumably they wished to be the "best". Only idols were accepted...?

Hope's Peak.

[adoringpast]

hm
so much for hopes and dreams, huh

[evidentiary]

I get the feeling there was something off about that school.

[adoringpast]

in what way?

[ because nothing's worse than some interschool war, right ]

[evidentiary]

Danger of some sort, maybe...?

[adoringpast]

what kind of danger would a school of specially gifted students would entail

[ inhales

boy ]

[evidentiary]

Hard to say.

Was there anything odd about the school you recall?

[adoringpast]

it's an idol school so you'd expect countless concerts, right
the way idols perform in yumenosaki is... different
it's hard to explain since i don't have enough memories of it yet but
some of our concerts felt like a battlefield on their own

[evidentiary]

A battlefield?

[adoringpast]

we have a specific concert that's literally named Duel
it's pretty much just human-sized chess played by 2 idol units
and the way me and my unitmates were talking it's like we were planning out war tactics to take down the opposing unit
hell our unit even has its own strategist???
like what the fuck
