"Oh? I came early but two people were able to beat me to class, hmmm let me guess, you got here just as the entrance opened up for people to enter the school and you only minutes later from a rather luxurious car." I say looking at Kiyotaka before looking at Byakuya second.
"Yes! That was a very astute observation on your part fellow classmate! After all proper and punctual attendance is a must in school life!" Kiyotaka said in a very loud and Authoritative kind of voice.
"Hmph, what the loudmouth said is correct, besides it would look bad on the Togami family name if I was to ever arrive at school tardy." Byakuya said coolly as he leaned his head on his arm as he looked over at me.
"Hey! That was rude and uncalled for to call some a loudmouth like that!" (Taka)
"Then it's best you tone it down, your loud shouts could cause ear damage to those that hear your voice." (Byakuya)
"Ugh…. I see your point, in normal conversations I shall put in the effort to keep my voice at a regular volume while talking to others!" (Taka)
"Hmph, see to it that it's done, now if you don't mind I would like to continue with my reading in peace and quiet." Byakuya said before ending the conversation as he opened up his book and began to read from it.
"Right! And I should study up on the materials that we will learn for this year!" Taka said as he began to pull out plenty of study materials as he began to look things over.
'…. Doesn't he realize that this school is all about improving our talents only? Only the reserve course students need to actually study like normal students, besides the ones selected for the Ultimate Development plan that is.' I think to myself, but I just shake my head before going to take a seat in the back before pulling out my tablet as I continue working on my mangas.
After a bit more and more people began to enter the class from all walks of life, but it was surreal to see all of my classmates from the game here in this school…. Although I wasn't too happy about two certain classmates being here.
'Don't worry about those two Hifumi, as I have said those two aren't going to try and make the Tragedy from happening just like in the game, but don't let your guard down around them, their still two psychopaths who have very little in the sense of humanity.' I hear Shinigami mutter to me in my mind, which didn't ease my nerves but knowing the strengths I have now I could easily squash their plans in the middle of their tracks if i so desire.
Most of us were talking with each other as they knew each other once before or in Taka and Mondo's case arguing with one another, but the doors opened as a man I had never seen before stepped in.
He was a man in his mid to late thirties from what I could tell with black slicked back hair and piercing blue eyes, him having a rather athletic build and just standing a little over 6ft tall in height, his outfit consisted of a tailor black suit with a pure white undershirt underneath though the top was left unbuttoned giving him a balance between professionalism and approachability.
On the left side of his suit nearby his collar a pin in a shape of a knights chess piece could be seen and along with that a digital watch on his left wrist.

As he came in his eyes squinted as he looked us over, but didn't say anything if some of the students such as Mondo and Taka were still having a heated argument between each other.
Then the teacher went up to the white board before writing his name, Kiyotaka Amamiya, before putting the whiteboard marker down and sitting at his desk.
As he did I finally noticed the chessboard he had set out on his desk, showing a set of chess moves both sides had already played out before he began to play the game himself.
Though I realized that only some of the class even realized he was here in the first place as most were doing their own things, that and the bell had yet to ring to start the beginning of class.
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"Hmph! Don't think this discussion we are having is over Owada! I'm sure I can change your ways for the better!" (Taka)
"Your really getting on my nerves you know that, if I wasn't here right now I would have already kicked your teeth in for the dumbass lecture you tried giving me." (Mondo)
"Hmm, seems you both are finally done, now let's start class shall we?" Mr. Amamiya said as he stood up from his desk.
Taka was about to stand up and bow but Mr. Amamiya just held up his hand, "I am not mad Ishimaru-kun, just understand for future reference that their is a time and place for everything you do, let this be a lesson for you, now then let's get the introductions out of the way as today will be one of the few formal classes of the school year we shall all have together in one class, and please hold any and all questions after introductions are done, so I shall start first."
"I am Kiyotaka Amamiya, former Highschool Ultimate Strategist and your home room teacher for the next three years, now going row by row everyone will say their names and thier Ultimate Talents, after that I'll answer any and all questions you have, so let's begin shall we?" He said before we all gave our names and Ultimate Talents.

"Good, good, now then any questions?… Yes Chihiro?" (Amamiya)
"Um sir? What do you mean that this is one of the few formal classes we will have this year?" (Chihiro)
"Good question, as you all know that this school is meant to focus on improving your ultimate talents, thus during your time in this school you shall be focusing on improving said talents, so besides the beginning of the year, mid terms and finals you and the rest of the class will be focusing exclusively on your talents alone, midterms and finals are basically check points to see your progress on improving your skills and talents as their is no free meal in this world so thinking your set for life just by getting accepted into this school you better think again." He said make some of the students tense up.
"But this is also an opportunity to branch out from your ultimate Talent and actually become something entirely different from what you are, some of you might not enjoy your talents and wish to pursue a different path and that is completely fine to do so but note that unless you are recognized for gaining another ultimate ability what you will be tested on at midterms and finals will be based upon your ultimates you had at the beginning of the school year, but besides those days and major school events and trips school will be equivalent to free time where you go to improve your skills, but the time is solely up to you how you spend it as we teacher will not interfere unless absolutely necessary, as we teachers are here to guide you down the path you all so desire for yourselves." He went into explain.
"The only rule is unless you get ill on campus that you stay on campus for the entire school day, but what you do from the beginning of the school day to the end is up to your discretion as to what you shall do." He said before taking a seat back his desk.
"So now the time is yours as you see fit, the school bell only rings to start the school day, when lunch is available and when the school day is over, so go out and do what you wish, and you can come back here to homeroom whenever you require assistance from me in any and all of your future endeavors, but now the rest of the day is for you." He said before ending the discussion as he looked back down at his chest board as he began to devise strategies for any future game he played.
"Well, this school is very interesting to say the least." I mutter to myself before pulling my tablet back out as I began to start drawing once more.
This marked the beginning of my time officially here at Hopes Peak Academy, but one things for sure things will get a bit more interesting from here on out.
