Where I'm from, talent is everything. The "Super High School Levels" you hear my friends and I talk about...? That's not a joke, or an exaggeration. Souda really is the best mechanic of anyone his age. Probably better than most adults, too. It's the same with Tsumiki's talent as a nurse, or even Komaeda's Super High School Level Luck.
Talent is what Hope's Peak scouts for and studies. To be a student of Hope's Peak... it used to be said that graduating from there guaranteed success. Alumni who managed to graduate from that school would be set for life in their profession.
If you didn't have talent... you were considered worthless trash. Not just by the school. That was just... the prevailing attitude of the world.
[She might be able to see where he's going with this as he keeps his eyes on hers, calmly narrating a story as if it's something that had happened to someone else. Someone else entirely. Maybe the plot of a bad manga.]
The Kamukura Project was Hope's Peak Academy's attempt to create someone who possessed every talent. Someone who could truly be called the Super High School Level Hope. And to do that... they would need someone so plain, so ordinary, so worthless and uninteresting, and yet a person who was so enamored by the concepts and ideals of Hope's Peak that he would be willing to give up everything to be considered a member of society. To become a person he could be proud of, a person worthy to stand among those who had talent.
