Naoki Oda, male, 16 years old, a high school level fashion designer.

He wears glasses and a school uniform and comes to class on time every day. He is a very honest child. Although he has a soft personality, he is very popular among students.

"The hopeless host that Senior Hinata mentioned, does it mean the hopeless remnant party?" Naegi Makoto frowned slightly, "Is this really possible?"

"He is an orphan. Both of his parents were from the Future Organization and died in the Desperate Rebel Party. It is unlikely that such a child would be a Desperate Rebel Party member."

"No, even if he is not a Despair Remnant, he may be a Despair Host. As long as he is able to feel despair and has a strong desire to obtain something, he will be chosen by the Despair Fragment." Hinata Hajime flipped through his information. "Naegi, you should know that it is impossible for a person to not feel despair."

Makoto Naegi sighed slightly, "I just feel a little surprised. I didn't expect that there would be problems in Hope's Peak Academy now."

"Accidents are an objective fact. Don't feel sad. They are normal."

“That’s true.”

Flipping through the files in his hand, Hinata Hajime looked at the names of Oda Naruto's parents, "Huh?"

"What happened to Hinata-senpai?"

"His parents." Hinata Hajime looked at the names and titles listed. "Are they both doctors?"

"Yes, Oda Naoki's parents are both doctors, and both hold the title of super high school-level doctors. They graduated from Hope's Peak Academy. I thought their combined child would also be a doctor, but he has no interest in medicine at all. Instead, he has a great talent for fashion design."

"Later, the Desperate Remnants attacked a man who had just graduated from Hope's Peak Academy. His parents had unfortunately passed away, and when we found him, he immediately agreed to enroll."

Hinata Sou nodded, and began to read the information in front, looking forward little by little.

During this period, Makoto Naegi had made all the necessary preparations to recruit students. This was also what Kirikiri Hibiki suggested him to do. So Makoto Naegi placed all the remaining information in the student files, including the students' report cards at school, yes, report cards.

Looking at the not-so-good report card, Hinata Hajime tilted his head, "The deviation value is a bit low."

"Yes, the grades are not that good, but the students admitted by Hope's Peak Academy don't really care about the deviation value. The quality of grades has little to do with talent."

"That's right." Hinata Hajime stared at the list, "But..."

"but?"

"No, it's okay." Hinata Hajime put the report card back and handed the document back to Naegi Makoto. "Can you arrange for me to meet him?"

Makoto Naegi held the file and nodded, "Of course."

After smiling at Naegi Makoto, Hinata Hajime turned and left. The moment he left, the smile on Hinata Hajime's face disappeared. He looked ahead calmly, one could even say a little indifferent. He looked ahead coldly, without a trace of warmth.

Because when he saw this information, he realized what Oda Mingjie's despair was.

Talent is something that most people do not have. Even if a few people have it, they can only have one kind. It is difficult for people with different talents to know the details of another talent.

Except Hinata Hajime.

As a person who acquired all talents through human experiments in the Hope Cultivation Program, Hinata Hajime mastered all talents in this journey across time. Therefore, he, who also possesses the same talent, understands the details of another talent better than he imagined.

For example: If Oda Mingjie was a talented person in the past, why did he go to such an ordinary school, and why is there no news about him?

Why, there is not a single detail about the clothing design.

Therefore, there is only one answer, and Oda Mingjue’s despair is: he has no talent.

Only if he had no talent would he go to an ordinary school. He had no information at all and his clothes did not match his design. However, he was born into a talented family. Both his parents were talented and had the title of super high school level doctor. He was a child born with high hopes. Everyone thought he would be the next super high school level doctor.

But he is not, he is just an ordinary person.

"Whether one is given high hopes or has no expectations at all, it is a kind of despair for a person." Hinata Hajime murmured, "That's why he was chosen by the Fragment of Despair and was given the ability to enter Hope's Peak Academy."

"It always likes this kind of drama." Kamukura Izuru replied.

"You mean the twisting of a person's hope into despair?"

Kamuzuru Izuru said calmly, "Same as you."

"Don't say that, it's ridiculous. Look, I'm doing fine now. It shows that people who are desperate don't have to be desperate forever, right?"

"Um."

Hinata Sou sighed, he came to the place that Makoto Naegi told him, and waited for Makoto Naegi to bring Oda Naruki.

He sat on a chair in the room. It was quite empty here, with nothing in it except two chairs. It seemed to have a strong sense of oppression. Hinata Hajime sat on the chair, and when he lowered his head, the light shone on him, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

To be honest, Hinata Hajime's heart was not at peace.

He could only keep talking to Kamiya Izuru in his heart to calm his anxiety. Kamiya Izuru empathized with him and of course could feel his discomfort, but he didn't say he was bored, but continued to chat with him.

We kept chatting like this until Oda Mingjie came over.

"Someone inside wants to see me?" Xiao Tianming's voice was a little weak. "Principal, I have no relatives left. Who wants to see me?"

"He's someone who knows your parents. Don't worry, I've already contacted him in advance. He's not a bad person."

"Since the principal said so, I understand." Oda Mingjue pushed open the door and looked into the room.

But the moment he saw the person inside, the smile froze on his face, and the muscles on Oda Mingjue's face were trembling. He subconsciously loosened his hand, and with a click, the door behind him closed.

Oda Mingjue took a step back, leaning against the door, breathing rapidly, looking quite scared.

"Are you afraid of me?" Hinata Hajime stood up.

Oda Ming decided to take a defensive stance and called out a name, "… Kamuzura Izuru."

【ah.】

【The flow is the one who knows you. 】

【We are no different.】

But he called your name.

[Boring, from now on you are Kamizuru Izuru. ]

【……】

"Do you know me?" Hinata Hajime looked at Oda Mingjie, "It seems that your identity is more complicated than I thought."

"Don't come over!" Oda Mingjue wanted to push the door open, "Why would Principal Naegi allow a dangerous person like you to enter Hope's Peak Academy? Or did you use your talent to impersonate someone else and deceive the principal? I will definitely tell the principal!"

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly, he felt a little troubled.

Not only was he recognized, but he was also treated as a super villain. He was really afraid of himself.

"Shut up." Hinata Hajime spoke.

Oda Mingjue seemed to be frightened. He stood there with a slightly pale face.

"I didn't come to see you to hear how you're afraid of me. I came to see you just to ask you one thing." Hinata Sou walked around the chair, "Have you ever heard strange noises, made strange wishes, or gained strange abilities?"

Oda Mingjue's face turned even paler.

His disguise was almost non-existent, and his whole person was particularly obvious.

Yes, he definitely had.

"That's not a good thing." Hinata Hajime said calmly, "Give it up before it gets to the worst."

"...Give up?" Xiao Tianming was stunned. "You said give up?"

"Yes, give up."

"Why?" Oda Ming did not understand. "I don't understand, Kamiza Izuru, why would you say so easily that you give up? As the leader of the desperate remnant party, don't you think your words are hypocritical?"

Hinata Hajime tilted his head.

【He is saying that you are hypocritical. 】

【Now Kamuzaki Izuru is you. 】

"This has nothing to do with what we are talking about." Hinata Hajime said: "The Fragment of Despair will not give you hope. Believing in it is equivalent to pushing yourself into despair. After entering Hope's Peak Academy, you should be very clear about this."

"Wasn't the life before that hopeless?"

Oda Mingjue shouted, "I thought you were the one who understood me the most."

[Why is this child afraid of me, but at the same time says that I understand him the best? Is it because the fragments of despair have invaded so strongly that he feels torn?]

【perhaps.】

"Isn't it?" Oda Mingjutsu stared at Hinata Hajime. "I was born in a family full of talents, but I have no talent. No matter who I talk to, they always mention my parents, and then secretly say that I am not worthy of being their child. My parents think so too."

"I am not worthy of being the child of a super high school-level doctor because I have no talent."

"So, I was in pain and despair. I wondered if I had talent, would my parents pay more attention to me? Would they care about me more?"

"Will those people also break their normal behavior and worship me?"

"I don't know what the Fragment of Despair is. I only know that my wish came true. Not only do I have talent, but I also entered the academy of my dreams." Oda Mingjue pointed at Hinata Hajime, "Hey, we are alike, right? We both have talents that don't belong to us."

Hinata Hajime looked at him, "Who are you?"

"Huh? Of course it's the Oda Ming Jue!"

"No, I was the one who understood you the most when you started, but now I've changed."

"Huh? How did you find out?" Oda Mingjue began to laugh, "It seems that Hinata-kun, you can already perfectly control your abilities. That's great, great. I like this development."

Hinata Hajime stared at him, "Fragment of Despair?"

"Of course it's me." Oda Mingjutsu came over, one foot on the chair, with a smile on his face, "Hinata Hajime, the great protagonist, an ordinary person with no talent, went through all kinds of hardships to get to where he is now, and became a perfect person with all the talents, it's really great."

"But, Hinata-kun, do you know where your greatness lies?"

Hinata Hajime didn't say anything, he just stared into Oda Mingjie's eyes. There was a strong black aura in those eyes, and the aura of despair continued to surge out of this body.

"Your greatness lies in the fact that you succeeded and transformed from an ordinary person into a talented person." Oda Mingjie began to laugh, "Do you know that this kid has always been jealous of you?"

"I'm jealous of you for being the subject of the experiment, jealous of you for participating in the experiment, jealous of you for getting all the talents."

"Your success is his despair."
