"Hmm..." Andrea began to say in response to Cecelia's opinion, "That is...a very logical answer. It's pretty similar to my views, as a matter of fact." She had a satisfactory grin on her face. It was very obvious that she liked Cecelia's answer.

After that, three more people were introduced. First was Angela Pleides, Ultimate Archer. Steven could see that she was pretty friendly, as she didn't focus too much on her own introduction and instead helped introduce the other two students.

Rose Anderson, the Ultimate Entomologist, was next. She seemed rather polite, but like a couple other of the students there, it seemed like she expected a negative reaction to her talent. Cecelia showing interest in her talent though cheered Rose right up, fortunately. Steven thought she had an interesting talent as well; he didn't particularly like bugs, but despite that, he did find them fascinating, and had done plenty of research on them for his novels in the past.

Finally, Percy Winston, Ultimate Banker, was introduced. Angela had to introduce him herself, since he apparently felt too high and mighty to even interact with any of them beyond insulting them. He even used the word "riffraff." Who even used that word anymore?

"Wow. What a dick." Andrea said plainly. "Well anyway. That's everyone now, right?"

"I think so..." Sasha agreed, but she didn't seem too sure, "Uh, actually, I've only counted 15 introductions, but there's 16 of us here."

"Huh? Who hasn't gone yet?" Bryan asked, "Come on now, we've all got to contribute here. Please step forward, whoever you are."

Somebody sighed, and then made their presence known by stepping forward a bit. It was a tall, muscular-looking guy, who was dressed like they just stepped off of a sports field. How had everyone not been able to notice such a large guy?

"...Marcus Roe. Ultimate Rugby Player." He said simply as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. Everyone waited for him to continue, but that apparently was all he had to say.

"Ah. The strong, silent type," Jamie noted.

"You really don't have more to say?" Bryan asked Marcus in surprise, "Even a timid guy like Ray talked more. No offense, little guy."

"N-None taken..." Ray muttered softly.

"There's nothing wrong with being a man of few words," Andrea said, "Well anyway. [b]That[/b] was definitely the last introduction this time, right?"

"Looks like it," Steven agreed, "We've all met each other now."

"Nice. Looks like we're done then," Sydney said as she stretched her arms over her head, "I'm tired of standing around. Hopefully Orientation will go by even faster."

"Orientation..." Steven repeated. That's right, that's why they had even come to the Gymnasium in the first place. "Do you guys think that we're really going to have a school Orientation?"

"Why wouldn't we?" Bryan asked, "This is definitely Sky's Peak Academy. I should know, I took a tour before accepting my invitation. Everything here looks exactly the same as when I took the tour."

"Really?" Sasha asked, a look of confusion on her face, "But then, wouldn't that mean the school staff were the ones that made us fall unconscious?"

"What? What're you talking about?" Bryan countered, somewhat shocked by Sasha's accusation, "What makes you think the school did this to us? That would be extremely unprofessional."

"That's a bit of an understatement, dontcha' think?" Andrea told him. He didn't react and just brushed her off.

"Well, yeah, it doesn't really make much sense..." Sasha said, shrinking back a bit, "But...what other explanation is there? If this really is Sky's Peak, then, it only makes sense that the school staff are the ones behind our situation."

"What even [i]is[/i] our situation?" Sydney asked, "For all we know, this could all just be an elaborate prank. Or even a test to see how the First Class would react to...whatever this is."

"No way, they'd need our consent first," Jamie disagreed, "My lawyer went over all the forms the school made me sign before I could enroll, and there was nothing like this in any of the documents."

"The school itself is...what's the word...experimental, and fragile." Sasha added to Jamie's point, "This is the first time a Hope's Peak Academy copy cat school actually managed to get going and have a chance at success. There's no way they'd do something so controversial and risky."

"S-So...wh-what does that mean then?" Ray asked quietly.

"Well, even though it doesn't make much sense for anyone but for Sky's Peak's staff to be behind this," Sasha told them, "It most likely isn't them that did that to us."

"So...we've been kidnapped then." Steven spoke up, having kept quiet since asking the question that started the conversation, "And somehow, our kidnapper, or kidnappers, managed to take over Sky's Peak Academy. And if the steel plates blocking off the windows are anything to go by, we've likely been locked inside the school."

"Wait...kidnapped!?" Bryan exclaimed, "That...that's insane! What the hell?"

"So what was that crap about Orientation then?" Sydney asked, "Is it some sort of act that they're putting on? Whoever they are?"

"Probably." Marcus grunted. Steven had already nearly forgotten about him. That guy was so distant towards everyone that it was easy to not even realize he was there.
