Well, this is awkward…

I’m beginning to get the feeling that this won’t end well…

C-Come on you two! Don’t speak so negatively!

It IS strange though…I’ve never really been able to figure out why Hope’s Peak even does the raffle in the first place?

Is it not…because they want to give mostly normal students a chance to be part of the Ultimates?

No I don’t think that’s the reason. If it was, then there’d be no need for the reserve course.

From my knowledge, I think the academy might actually be researching the element of luck.

R-Researching?

Think about it this way. Despite the fact that we all share the same worthless talent of luck…

Nagito…you don’t even realise you’re backhandedly insulting us.

If you think about it, each of our own “luck” is different from the others…

You think so?

Of course! For example, I’ve been told me power of chance can lead to catastrophic scenarios, and can get a little crazy sometimes.

But mostly, I experience a wave of bad luck, and then a subsequent wave of good luck.

Basically, it fluctuates, right?

That’s right…for example…

Some time at the beginning of the year, I went to get a bottle of my favourite drink from a vending machine…only for the thing to get stuck…

And then a truck came swerving off the road and almost hit me…

Oh my god, were you ok!?

Huh? Oh, I was fine! It missed me by a couple inches…

But then the trailer opened up and out came piles upon piles of my favourite drink! And I decided to take them all…

Th-That’s…!

Yeah, that’s more than a little crazy…

But Makoto…your luck doesn’t work the same as mine, right?

W-Well, I’ve never been in a situation like that before if that’s what you mean…

And most of the time I’m not sure I can even call myself lucky…I’m usually unlucky more than anything…

That’s only what you think. It looks like misfortune, but ultimately…

it’s just a path that leads to a VERY positive outcome. Am I wrong?

Actually…now that you say that…you might be right!

Then…what about Yuki?

Huh!? Well, it’s not like I know myself…

I don’t know Yuki all that well, but from what I’ve seen…

the glaring difference between his luck and ours, is that it can alter the chain of events in a scenario to give the best possible outcome…

and it’s unlikely Yuki even knows it’s happening…

Y-You make it sound like a superpower.

But that’s not the only difference between Yuki’s luck and ours…The other is that Yuki’s luck doesn’t necessarily apply to only himself…

Hold on…now that you say that, Yoruko and Setsuka sometimes call me a “Living Lucky Charm”

So Yuki’s luck can affect those around him, huh?

You know, even though it is my own talent, I feel like the more I learn about “Ultimate Luck” the less I understand it…

Well, you’re not alone there…

But wait…if what Nagito says is true, and that my luck can affect the people around me…

What would happen if my luck amplified the effects of both of yours?

Um…considering the way Nagito’s luck works, that could actually…

Well, I DID already say that this meeting probably wouldn’t end well…

Human trash like me with a pointless yet catastrophic talent doesn’t deserve to exist at an academy like this…

Nagito! You’re being weird again…

Oh! And also, considering the way MAKOTO’S luck works…Something really bad could potentially happen to him.

Don’t say that…! Please…?

Man…such misfortune…
