Prologue

Lucy Heartfillia Prologue.

The massive high school towers over all the other buildings in this bustling urban area. It's like the school stands at the center of the entire world and just brings in the top students from every single field imaginable. A government-funded school of privilege. They say that if you come here and manage to graduate, you'll be set for your entire life. With hundreds of years of tradition, it sends the cream of the crop into the workforce every year. It was built to raise hope in the nation's future. Which makes Hope's Peak a pretty fitting name.

 
There are two things you need to attend this school... One, you have to already be attending high school. Two, you have to be the very best at what you do. No ordinary student could enroll here. The only way in is if you're scouted by the school itself.

And standing there at the gate of the ultimate school filled with the ultimate students... Was me!

Okay- so before I go any farther I should introduce myself! My name is Lucy Heartfillia!

  As you can tell, I'm nothing but an average girl, well a celestial mage too.

I really don't have much going for me when it comes to grades, well I am really good in writing and English which means I'm average in most of the other classes, and yeah, I do have hobbies and stuff I like to do and I am a celestial wizard, but it's not like I'm a psychic or mutant or whatever. Like, if you asked me what my favorite song was, or my favorite movie or TV show... They'd all just be whatever's most popular at that particular moment. I consider myself average, although all my friends- Especially Natsu! Who says I'm a very unique and powerful person.
Anyway, I figure it's always good to introduce yourself right off the bat, I may not consider myself unique but I can say that I do have my strong points... People tell me I'm extremely kind, sweet, brave, protective- anything that is related to being nice to others, but that's what a normal person should do.

But look at me now! Here I am, standing in front of the anything but ordinary Hope's Peak Academy. I still can't believe I'm standing here. I wonder if someone like me can survive in a place like this...

It's got this overwhelming presence...like it's trying to swallow me whole. But it's no wonder I would feel that way. What you have to understand is... Well, let me just tell you about the "preparation" I did for myself last night just to get ready for today.

I went on the online forums which were discussing the people entering hopes peak and what the school is like. Hope's Peak only invites those students who are truly elite in their field. It's such a popular topic, there are threads online dedicated to talking about the school's attendees. So to prepare, I looked up some of those threads. And all I saw was talk about "ultimate" students, who were way beyond your average high schooler.
