I have no idea. I just remember that I got accepted as the Super High School Level Good Luck and that I didn't actually have any other special talents.

I was apparently really plain and normal in my other life as well.

[evidentiary]

You have other qualities besides "Talent" that are perhaps more important, but that is good news.

After all, we now know all four of our "Talents".

[falsepretentious]

That doesn't sound very lucky to me.

It is good to finally know all our talents regardless.

[saburai]

Are you certain that that qualifies as a talent, Naegi? That seems very strange.

Then again, I suppose this school is unusual in many respects, so perhaps it should be expected.

[evidentiary]

I do remember "luck" coming up as a topic quite a bit, admittedly, so it seems probable...?

[optimistical]

But how would you test something like good luck as a talent?

I remember that I challenged my mother to a rock-paper-scissors contest to see if I really was lucky but I don't remember the outcome. Don't tell me that Hope's Peak did something similar...

[falsepretentious]

Anything's possible when it comes to such a bizarre academy. Are you sure that your mother wasn't actually an examiner?

[optimistical]

I don't think so.

I know that I got accepted into the school before I challenged her to rock-paper-scissors. She gave me a weird look and I had to convince her to play with me...

[evidentiary]

Testing luck would be best done in a game of chance, I think.

[saburai]

Something as simple as flipping a coin numerous times should suffice, I imagine.

[falsepretentious]

Those all sound like valid observations. Perhaps a combination, as doing just one type of exercise might not be sufficient enough to prove luck. Let's hope they avoid the more life-or-death games of chance.

[optimistical]

I’ll ask Daisuke later to play rock-paper-scissors with me and try some coin tosses as well... I’ll let you guys know the results.

[ but since byakuya brought up life or death situations... time to talk about the more serious memories ]

Asides from that, does anyone remember anything new? Like about Hope’s Peak?

[evidentiary]

Bits and pieces. It's hard to see the whole picture as of yet.

[saburai]

I do have two new things that have come up recently, which I've meant to share at some point.

For one, I now understand what was meant about the school being unsafe prior to the killing games. There was a significant amount of protesting occurring on the campus, to the point that students were not supposed to leave their classrooms due to the potential danger. I wonder if this was the reason for the unusual tropical field trip.

[falsepretentious]

I haven't recalled anything new about the school in particular.

But in any case, that is quite thought-provoking, Kaguya. Do you recall any other details about these protests? Their purpose, what made them so dangerous? I can see the potential motive for the field trip in that, though I'd hesitate to call it a definite connection.

[evidentiary]

I was investigating some sort of murder prior to the killing games. I wanted to meet with some people on the steering committee, I think...? But, I don't know if that was related to the protests or not.

[saburai]

I don't recall many details on the protests themselves, either. All I do remember is that the administration kept calling them "parades" instead, and that most of the protesters looked to be about high-school age.
