✉ Invitation Letter

August 8, 2009 Nagito received his invitation letter to attend Hope’s Peak as the very first Ultimate Lucky Student while he was bedridden in hospital.

📝 Admission Form

A month later, just when Hajime had given up the thought of attending Hope’s Peak, admission for the first batch of the Reserve Course School opened.

📔 First year at Hope’s Peak

Nagito joined Hope’s Peak’s class 77-B, while Hajime enrolled in the Reserve Course’s class 1-A.

Hajime lived with his parents few train stops away from Hope’s Peak, while Nagito lived in a dorm exclusive to the Ultimates in the south quarter of Hope’s Peak complex.

The short distance from the complex entrance to the fountain in central plaza was usually the only time they encountered each other. From there, Hajime took the west path to the Reserve Course School area and Nagito took the east path to Hope’s Peak Main School area.

They had some interactions through their friendship with Chiaki but did not acknowledge each other. They also never called each other by name (it was always just “Oi” or “Hey, you!”). Hajime felt inferior towards the Ultimates while Nagito had no interest in interacting with ordinary people.

Nagito was suspended shortly after Hajime dropped out and agreed to be Kamukura Project subject, so neither was aware of the other’s disappearance.

They weren’t attracted to each other yet. This version of Hajime liked Chiaki. While Hajime’s appearance caught Nagito’s eyes, his views were too warped for him to see Hajime in a romantic way.

💉 The Kamukura Project

July 23, 2010 The deadline to sign the project consent form was the last day before summer break. Hajime and his parents signed the form and then he dropped out from Reserve Course.

July 26, 2010 → April 2, 2011 Hajime spent eight months undergoing brainwashing and preparation for the surgery.

April 3, 2011 The day before new school year ceremony, Hajime underwent the operation that turned him into Izuru. He spent his time underground before he met Junko Enoshima.

💼 Nagito’s Suspension

October 4, 2010 → October 4, 2011 During his suspension, Nagito traveled from place to place. He hadn’t planned to travel, but he always ended up in various places. He returned exactly a year later during Student Council Massacre and class 77-B graduation.

🎾 Extra: After school Activities

Extracurricular clubs in Hope’s Peak are run by students. Some clubs even have members from both school, though the rule that Reserve Course students can’t enter or use Main School facilities still apply.

📸 Mahiru (and Natsumi) are in photography club. The club is very lax and is located outside of Main School area so members from both school can interact freely.

🏹 Archery club is one of the prestigious club. Both Main and Reserve Course have their own club. Sato and few students council from Main School are in archery club.

🎶 Anime and Music clubs are open to anyone, though the weirdness of the Main School members drive away the Reserve Course students.

Hajime and Nagito don’t participate in any after school activities, though Hajime was offered the position of treasurer in Reserve Course student council.

💪 Peko and Sakura are in different rival dojo.
