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

[evidentiary]

Were these Duels lethal?

[adoringpast]

it sure sounded like it but no
no one died in the school as far as i know

[ lol ]

like i said it's pretty weird for some idol school
like chill tf out it's just idol activities damn

[evidentiary]

Unfortunately, it seems that what we held dear in "that" life and this one isn't always easily translatable.

Or perhaps that is indeed quite fortunate.

[adoringpast]

yeah i can only hope for the best
ive seen some guys who were from that school here too so im just relieved that they're not dead at least?

ill connect the dots when i get there

[evidentiary]

That doesn't mean they didn't die in that other life, of course, unpleasant though that thought may be...

Hopefully nothing was that drastic, however.
