"I can be better"

In this world, humanity's greatest catastrophe never happened; in other words, Junko never created the murder game. The characters are simply students at Hope's Peak Academy.

1: Students in the main course are not required to attend classes as long as they continue to improve their skills.
2: Students need permission to leave school during weekdays; leaving is unrestricted on weekends and holidays.
3: Students must live at school, therefore each class has a dormitory in a specific area of ​​the school. Students of different sexes are not allowed to share a room after curfew, which is 10:00 PM.
4: Wearing a uniform is optional, except during important school events.

Hope's Peak Academy was a private, government-sanctioned, centrally located international high school. Founded by Izuru Kamukura, the school aimed to develop and research the talents of young high school professionals known as Ultimates (Super High School Level in Japanese). Unlike typical high schools, students didn't have to take entrance exams; instead, they were recruited by the school itself as Ultimate experts in their fields, with the exception of the Ultimate Lucky Student, whose talent was determined by a lottery. Before being selected, students had to be enrolled in another high school or be at least 16 years old. Instead of typical schoolwork, Hope's Peak Academy students were encouraged to develop their talents through a practical exam in September, midway through each school year, where they had to demonstrate their skills. These practical exams were evaluated by dignitaries and experts and widely publicized by the media to give the country hope for the future, and failure could mean expulsion. Students who successfully graduated from Hope's Peak Academy have been assured of guaranteed success in life, with many Hope's Peak alumni holding high-level positions in all areas of the professional world.
