1. #1Sanctum Tower

   Keys: Sanctum Tower, General Student Council · Secondary: Tower, GSC

   The Sanctum Tower or Kivotos tower was a tower located in the center of Kivotos.

   The Sanctum Tower is a mysterious tower that looms over the heart of Kivotos. No one knows when, how, or why it was constructed. There has been a rumor floating around that the General Student Council has the information.

   The tower grants the General Student Council the authority required to govern and maintain Kivotos. This authority was previously held solely by the President, prior to her disappearance.

   The Sanctum Tower is a massive structure located at the center of Kivotos. Everything about the tower is shrouded in mystery. Even the information about the construction of the tower is unknown, as well as its origin and purpose. However, It has been speculated that the General Student Council may have the information, and the facts about the tower. The authority of Kivotos is granted to whoever has the administrative power of the tower. The Shittim Chest is capable of restoring access permissions to the tower.

   Prior to her disappearance, the General Student Council's president nearly single-handedly held control over the entire city through the Sanctum Tower. After she vanished, the General Student Council lost all control over the tower and, consequently, their authority over Kivotos. However, through the use of the Shittim Chest, the Sanctum Tower's permissions were granted to the tablet's AI, who delegated the authority to the GSC at the request of Sensei.

   Later, sometime before the signing of the Treaty of Eden, there was a commotion at the Sanctum Tower, with rumors afloat that a part of the tower was burned. This was later revealed to be an attack on the General Student Council by the FOX Platoon in retaliation to plans for the shutdown of their school. This attack led to the hospitalization of some GSC members and a portion of the Sanctum Tower being reduced to ashes.

   The tower was destroyed when a False Sanctum descended from the sky and crashed into it.

   The General Student Council (GSC), formerly known as the Prime Student Council on Global, or literally translated as Federal Student Council in JP, is the central administrative body that manages the entirety of Kivotos. The General Student Council is said to manage the entirety of the Academy City. Talk about amazing. They are a massive club that manages all of Kivotos' administrative matters, and its members are granted special access and authority compared to normal students. However, rumors have been swirling that their president has gone missing… The General Student Council is a massive club that presides over the entirety of Kivotos. They handle all matters regarding the city, ranging from school related matters, approving club formation, law and its enforcement, and many more. However, as a rule, they tend to leave individual schools to handle incidents within their own autonomous districts; though, this policy may have been imposed after the GSC president's disappearance. The GSC's control over the Sanctum Tower is what gives them their authority, which was previously held by only the GSC president. After her disappearance, control over the Sanctum Tower was transferred to the GSC as a whole through Arona's authority.

   The uniforms of each officer in the General Student Council varies, though there are a few elements that are shared between them. These are not limited to just a common color scheme (white, blue, gold), but also other parts such as: White coat or white, double-breasted cropped blazer, Blue aiguillette with golden tips, Blue necktie with a certain number of shooting stars, Collared clothes (dress, shirt, etc), GSC logo with a certain number of stars.

   The General Student Council is divided into multiple departments that handle separate matters. At the very top of the chain of command is the GSC student council president. Followed by that is the Administrative Commission, which is comprised of eleven separate offices, such as the Defence Office headed by Kaya, which supervises the actions of Valkyrie Police Academy. Separate from the Administrative Commission is the Supervision Office, which is led by Rin.

   Members: GSC President, Nanagami Rin, Yuragi Momoka, Iwabitsu Ayumu, Kaya, Oki Aoi, Sumono.

   Originally, it was believed that the number of stars present below the GSC logo on an officer's clothes represented their school year. However, Kaya being a third year, despite having two stars, busts this theory. Global release had originally translated the name as Prime Student Council and was later changed to General Student Council, but not all of the game had the name changed to its newer variant. While all of them remains as NPC for now, GSC President, Rin, Momoka and Ayumu has already being voiced as they either appear as prologue character or menu guides in the game. Aoi joins the list of voiced characters later as she appears in the intermittent mini-event of Schale Meeting With General Student Council. As the main stories are voiced in CN version, Kaya also has received her own voice with Volume 4 Chapter 1 release, albeit only in Mandarin.

2. #2Schale

   Keys: Schale

   Independent Federal Investigation Club S.C.H.A.L.E, or simply SCHALE, is an extrajudicial, autonomous organization founded by the mysterious General Student Council President prior to her disappearance.

   This is where Sensei works.

   A "club" created by the General Student Council President with a secret directive. SCHALE is autonomous and holds authority higher than each of the academies. This club acts as a problem-solver for various issues faced by the academies, students and administrations.

   It was created by the President of the General Student Council. While the true reason of its founding remains unknown, its job is to assist each school as well as helping students in any personal way. Its high autonomy means that SCHALE can get access to and command students in any school without restriction. Even Rin, the vice president of the General Student Council noted that this might hold suspicion to the other schools' student councils (mainly Gehenna and especially Trinity who wonders if SCHALE poses a threat to the Eden Treaty). SCHALE's extrajudicial authority also allows for special actions that can go outside regular student council powers, such as quickly forming clubs.

   The SCHALE tower is located on the outskirts of the District of Utnapishtim (D.U.), around 30km away from the Sanctum Tower. It is divided into two main areas: A Residence Hall and an Office area. Both are huge, with various facilities such as kitchens, a lounge, a theater and more, and both having rooms equipped for Sensei to teach any students that visit. The convenience store Angel 24 is located in the Residence Hall.

   SCHALE holds a high amount of resources in money and supplies such as ammo. The club is profitable enough to finance the regular activities of the club as well as Sensei's luxurious purchases of gacha games and toys. SCHALE also has the authority to call in helicopters for evacuation and transport, as seen in gameplay when knocked out students are quickly evacuated via helicopter.

3. #3Abydos

   Keys: Abydos High School, Foreclosure Task Force, Countermeasures Committee · Secondary: Abydos, Foreclosure

   Abydos High School is one of the many schools in Kivotos.

   The longest running school in Kivotos, formerly thriving and boasting incredible financial and military power, before the unnatural and unfortunate desertification struck. Nowadays, most of its buildings have been covered in sand and ruins, leaving behind only an annex which seems to be the very last remains of the school.

   Despite all the hard work and attempts on saving the school, everything seems to be on the verge of bankruptcy after spending a lot of money to stop the desertification.

   Abydos school has a uniform, which consists of: Navy blue blazer with white piping and silver buttons, White long sleeved shirt, Pleated black skirt, Sky blue tie with a black X mark on the tip Optional beige sweater, Black or white knee socks.

   Each student within the school has their own unique style. Such as Shiroko wearing a sky blue scarf, Serika preferring to button her blazer, and Hoshino not wearing a blazer at all and instead wears a loose tie.

   Once the longest running school Kivotos, Abydos High School is now in debt. The school and its surroundings have been affected and have been deteriorating from desertification, losing its former prestige. Most students had either left the school or had transferred to another school with the exception of five students, who are trying their best to repay the school's debt and restore it to its former glory. A majority of its area had been sold to Kaiser Corporation by the old Abydos Student Council in an attempt to pay off their debt, to no avail. Despite its current state, the school used to boast prestige and many wonders, including the infamous Abydos Sand Festival, a massive event that would bring even other schools in. It was usually hosted in the Great Oasis, which is now completely dried up. Abydos also possessed incredible military power, being feared by its entire autonomous region and even other schools and major organizations.

   The Countermeasures Committee or Foreclosure Task Force on Global is one of and perhaps the only "School Club" in Abydos High School. The Countermeasures Committee is the de facto school council of Abydos High School that was formed with the goal of persevering the school as well as the areas around Abydos itself. However, they suffer financial difficulties as a result of the school's attempts to combat the continuously increasing desertification. Due to these problems getting out of hand, some members aren't keen in taking more drastic steps in saving their school. This club is the main focus of the Abydos Arc, The Foreclosure Task Force. During the Volume, Sensei was tasked by Okusora Ayane to help them regarding the relentless raid from the local Helmet Gang which was later found out to be working under Kaiser PMC, eventually also discovering about Abydos' debt, the school's history, and Takanashi Hoshino's business, including the obnoxious offers she's been receiving. They made a return in the late part of Chapter 3 in the Trinity Arc where they helped Ajitani Hifumi and Sensei and played a supporting role throughout Vol. F. After that, they become the focus again at Chapter 3 of the Abydos Arc. They are the main group of Abydos Resort Restoration Committee. They are also featured in Handyman 68's New Year Rhapsody and Momoyodou Beach Bar Franchising Plan.

   "V1C3: Footprints left by Dreams is another focus about the Committee, but with the involvement of Yume, who was still missing, and Hoshino's guilt and memories are coming back under the influence of the Underground Dweller. Sensei was also involved in this chapter, considering the explosion happened on Schale but survived without getting unscatched. The memories of Nonomi and Shiroko were also in the chapter, which includes Nonomi's past, hearing rumors about the death of Yume. The chapter also starts about the debt, the escalating conflict between Saint Nepthys, Highlander Railroad Academy and Kaiser Corporation (with all of the groups this time). The situation escalates as Asagiri Suou abducted Nonomi. Ayane's argument with Hoshino had gone awry and started to fight the committee, with no avail she succeeded and begins her pursuit to save Nonomi. the Highlander Academy also had discussions with the Kaiser Corporation, it turns out Kaiser Corporation were also backstabbing the Railroad Academy with no avail, but the Countermeasures Committee helped the Railroad Academy from the clutches of the Corporation and their greedy deeds. Hoshino finishes off the rest of the Kaiser Corporation and went to her own and pursuing Asagiri Suou, whom which is ready to activate Shemata, a rail cannon that has a system that is not from Kivotos. Just in time the Countermeasures committee also arrived on time and the Shemata hasn't still been activated and Suou has been defeated by the hands of Hoshino, however... it wasn't only Suou who is after, but rather take use of Shemata and the Countermeasures began their attempt to stop her but failed with no avail, Sensei's last option is calling Sorasaki Hina to stop Hoshino's advance."

   Prior to the start of Volume 1, Abydos has its own Student Council which manages affairs in the once-gigantic school. However, as the school shrinks in size, so does the members, and it leaves the last known members to be only Kuchinashi Yume, the president and Takanashi Hoshino, the vice president, the only students in Abydos later on. Due to the demise of Yume, the president position is vacant and leaves Hoshino as its only member, and is considered paralyzed as Hoshino does not take over the leadership for some reason. However the old Student Council remains recognized as an official body of the school even until the events of Volume 1.

   Countermeasures Committee: As newer students like Nonomi, Shiroko, Ayane and Serika enrolls into the school, they alongside Hoshino formed the Committee mainly to help sort out issues plaguing the school like the enormous debts with Kaiser, taking over from the inactive student council. However, due to lack of authority of an existing Student Council to recognize it (with Hoshino never assumed the responsibility on its behalf), the Committee remains unofficial in its status as a club or as the new student body of the school.

   This provides inconvenience when dealing with other organisation, especially with Kaiser where only the original Student Council is recognised to actually negotiate over their debt matters. However as the Chapter 2 ends, the club now received recognition from SCHALE as both an official club and the working Student Council of Abydos.

   With Shiroko Terror (the Shiroko in another timeline) involved, it is now official that the Abydos is now a Student Council than a regular club.

   Members: Takanashi Hoshino, Sunaookami Shiroko, Kuromi Serika, Okusora Ayane, Izayoi Nonomi.

4. #4Gehenna

   Keys: Gehenna Academy, Pandemonium Society, Disciplinary Committee, Emergency, Medicine Club, Handyman 68, Gourmet Research Society, School Lunch Club, Hot Springs Development Department, Sparkle Club · Secondary: Gehenna, Student Council, Prefect Team, Medical Emergency Club, Problem Solver 68, Hot Spring Department, Twinkle Twinkle Club

   Gehenna Academy is one of the many schools in Kivotos.

   "Freedom, chaos, and trouble!" That is the word for Gehenna Academy. "I don't care about the rules, it's already hard because there are a lot of illegal circles!" Because it is such a school, there are many students who are good or bad.

   However, because of that, the reputation from other schools is ...

   Gehenna Academy is one of the largest and oldest schools in Kivotos. Its culture runs along the concept of "Freedom and Chaos". Because of this, many troublesome clubs or groups (e.g., Problem Solver 68) exist and use the main building and club building whenever and however they please. This has forced the other students to study in only select areas of the campus. Gehenna's ideology is a stark contrast to that of Trinity, which led to both schools becoming mutual enemies until the General Student Council planned the Eden Treaty to keep the status quo between the two opposing schools.

   School Clubs: Pandemonium Society (Student Council), Disciplinary Committee (Prefect Team), Emergency, Medicine Club (Medical Emergency Club), Handyman 68 (Problem Solver 68), Gourmet Research Society, School Lunch Club, Hot Springs Development Department (Hot Spring Department), Sparkle Club (Twinkle Twinkle Club) Places: Suzume Restaurant.

   Pandemonium Society is the Student Council in Gehenna Academy. They are the "Elites" of Gehenna considering numerous troops, even the craziest ones but really are friendly in person, unlike the Trinity's Tea Party, which is the Opposite. They have sour relationships with the Disciplinary Committee at first but they were also friendly when they ever meet Sensei in person. The Student Council of the Gehenna Academy. In comparison to other student councils from other schools, the Pandemonium Society behaves as what's to be expected in Gehenna. Makoto, the president, often made several attempts to "put" the members of the Disciplinary Committee to its place, only for someone to return the favor. They first appeared in the Disciplinary Committee's sub-story, where their president attempts to find an excuse to nail down the Disciplinary Committee by dispatching Iroha and Ibuki which didn't turn out as predicted, resulting in Hina "paying up a visit" in the end. In the Trinity Arc, they were mentioned to be partaking "The Treaty of Eden" (In truth, Hina was the real reason on pushing this on Gehenna's behalf). Makoto decided to show off their power by allowing herself and the main members of the Pandemonium Society to ride via an Airship, leaving the Disciplinary Committee in their ground vehicles (as well as to humiliate Hina by getting her and everyone delayed due to traffic). When the disaster in the Old Cathedral occurred because of Arius, everyone within the Airship got knocked out when a "gift" was delivered to them, only for Iroha to realize those were explosives. All of them were recovering after the Emergency Medicine Club rescued them from the wreck of the Airship. In Sunlight Girls’ Night Song, Makoto invited the Disciplinary Committee for a party, despite having Chaos and other commotions like the Hot Spring Development Department or the Gourmet Research Society. Kirara and Erika were invited as well. Makoto also invited Hina, but her schemes is to make Hina ruin the party, but that was offset when Sensei supported Hina during her Piano practices. Members of pandemonium society: Hanuma Makoto (President), Kyougoku Satsuki,Motomiya Chiaki, Natsume Iroha, Tanga Ibuki.

   Pandemonium Society is the only student council that is known to "formally" visit and establish relationships with other schools, which are Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy and Red Winter Federal Academy, historically, their alliance with Hyakkiyako are symbolized with the German-Japanese relations in the Second World War, while the one with Red Winter is none other than the Berlin-Moscow Axis. Pandemonium Society outfits and their dress are based on the Waffen Schutzstaffel/Waffen SS. in Addition, their Insignia, so is their symbol, are based on the logo of the Waffen Schutzstaffel/Waffen SS, the Gehenna symbol also reincarnates the "SS" symbol.

   The Disciplinary Committee, or the Prefect Team in Global, is one of the School Clubs at Gehenna Academy, acting as the enforcer and the school's core governing body in place of the neglectful Pandemonium Society. The students of the "Free and Chaotic" Gehenna Academy don't care about school rules. That's why we have the Disciplinary Committee! But the way they do their work is just too extreme. As the name goes, they are responsible for keeping order within the oftentimes chaotic Gehenna Academy. Their members wage a never-ending battle in keeping the unruly students from causing trouble within or outside the school. In the prologue, one of the representatives who was sent to the General Student Council assisted Sensei alongside others from the Millennium Science School and Trinity General School in dealing with the chaos caused by the sudden and unexplained absence of the General Student Council president and escorted Sensei into the Schale club room. In the Abydos Arc of the Main Story, they were present towards the end of the battle between the Countermeasures Committee and Problem Solver 68, only to realize due to Iori's attitude that they were also attacking the students from Abydos. In truth, the reason for the whole operation was Ako who wanted to meet and confirm the existence of Schale as well as Sensei whom she believed might pose a threat to the Eden Treaty. When the students of Abydos refused to cooperate (hand over Sensei), it resulted in a fight with Problem Solver 68 temporarily joining forces with the Foreclosure Task Force until the head prefect herself discovered the ruckus and demanded Ako to explain the situation fully (which she failed to do). In the end, Hina personally apologized to the Abydos students for the commotion and ordered a complete withdrawal of all Prefect troops. They made an appearance in the Trinity Arc. It was revealed that Hina was responsible for advocating in Gehenna's side for the continuation of the Eden Treaty as well as revealing to Sensei the treaty's role in ensuring "peace" between the two large schools. In the 3rd chapter, the members of the Disciplinary Committee were delayed for the ceremony when Arius began an all-out assault which resulted in its members scattered and Hina having to personally escort Sensei to safety despite being heavily exhausted and injured. After recovering, they joined forces with the members of the Justice Realization Committee, the Supplementary Lessons Department and the Countermeasures Committee under Sensei's command in stopping Arius's Elite Squad. Members of Disciplinary Committee: Sorasaki Hina (Chairwoman), Amau Ako (Exec. Officer), Shiromi Iori (Field Captain) Hinomiya Chinatsu (Medic).

   They're the first club who had presentable mobs (enemy units) which is seen in the campaign as well as in the Abydos Arc. Chinatsu was originally part of the Emergency Medicine Club before she moved to the Disciplinary Committee for unclear reasons.

   The Emergency Medicine Club or the Medical Emergency Club on Global is one of the School Clubs in Gehenna Academy. As their name implies, the Emergency Medicine Club is a club that revolves around emergency medicine. Due to their focus being primarily on emergency rescue and treatment, they have little to no involvement and presence in politics. On certain occasions, such as Valentine's Day, the club also doubles as an enforcer and conducts patrols to maintain safety, almost making them a counterpart to Trinity's Knights Hospitaller. In the second chapter of Vol. 3, the Emergency Medicine Club, due to their distance from politics, transports the Gourmet Research Society away after their subjugation by the Justice Realization Committee on Trinity's grounds. In the third chapter, the Emergency Medicine Club evacuates Sensei after they got shot, and later transport the wounded in the aftermath of the initial attack on the Old Cathedral of Communion. Members of Emergency Medicine Club: Himuro Sena (President)

   The Emergency Medicine Club is one of the few clubs with only one known member. Despite Gehenna's notorious reputation for anarchy and chaos, this club notably never does anything chaotic or stupid (apart from Sena's tendency to refer to her patients as corpses). The Emergency Medicine Club is the second club to have a member transfer to another club. The first club is Veritas with Himari transferring to the Super Phenomenon Task Force. Although Chinatsu used to be part of the Emergency Medicine Club, she decided to move to the Disciplinary Committee for unclear reasons. Sena also wishes for Chinatsu's return to the club.

   Handyman 68, or Problem Solver 68 in the Global release, is one of the School Clubs at Gehenna Academy. A club notable for the conduct of "illegal businesses" as well as taking "fixer contracts". Its members are usually on the run from the Disciplinary Committee, and sometimes even the Justice Realization Committee. Introduced in the Abydos Arc of the Main Story, where Handyman 68 were hired to deal with the Countermeasures Committee by the Kaiser PMC Director. But as the story progresses, these two factions soon buried the hatchet and occasionally assisted each other when in a pickle. It is also implied that Sensei hired them at some point of the story. They reappear in Vol. F, joining forces with the Countermeasures Committee against the "colorized" version of Binah. In events, they are the main group in Handyman 68's New Year Rhapsody and 0068 From the Opera with Love!. In other media, they are the main club in Blue Archive Problem Solver 68 Business Diary. They are the main cast of Sensei, I'm Gonna Need A Moment of Your Time. Members of Handyman 68: Rikuhachima Aru (President), Onikata Kayoko (Section Chief), Asagi Mutsuki (Captain), Igusa Haruka.

   The Gourmet Research Society is one of the School Clubs at Gehenna Academy. A club centered around its leader, Haruna. The Gourmet Research Society is a circle whose sole purpose is to sample all there is about food. Despite the name of the club, they can be pretty troublesome even by Gehenna standards. Where food being the club's priority, its members will throw themselves into trouble for the sake of it. Their motto is "Eat or Die.", which evidently showcases their dedication although each member has their own taste when it comes to "good" food. The Gourmet Research Society makes an appearance in the Trinity Arc, who appeared in the middle of Trinity General School and caused trouble (taking Fuuka hostage) with the goal to seize the golden tuna and turn it into a fine meal for themselves. They were quickly dealt with by the members of the Supplementary Lessons Department alongside with Hasumi and Sensei. Although the Gourmet Research Society tried to escape, the three members, except for Izumi who ended up getting lost, got captured. Later, Sensei personally escorted them to Hina (disguised by sending a different club for the job). During Where All Miracles Begin, they helped School Lunch Club handling food supplies for D.U. refugees by giving them fish stolen from nearby aquarium. After the appearance of Perorodzilla, they, along with Hifumi and Azusa, went to suppress it. Later, they, along with Fuuka, joined Ship of Utnapishtim's crew as combatants in order to discover "eating space food". They also brought a truck, which allowed the crew to reach the bottom of Ark of Atra-Hasis quickly and destroying its relay device, preventing false sanctums from appearing again. They are the main club of A Little Before the Food Piled Up. In Get Set, Go! Kivotos Halo Games, they participated as contestants from Gehenna. Members of Gourmet Research Society: Kurodate Haruna (Leader), Wanibuchi Akari, Akashi Junko, Shishidou Izumi.

   The School Lunch Club is one of the School Clubs at Gehenna Academy. As the name implies, the School Lunch Club is responsible for the handling and making of food for the students of Gehenna Academy. However, the club is always facing problems of limited budget and manpower shortages; worse still is Juri who constantly ends up making inedible dishes, and the Gourmet Research Society's antics of raiding and blowing up the place for various food-related reasons. Despite all of the above, the School Lunch Club has never been closed down for unknown reasons. Members of School Lunch Club: Aikiyo Fuuka, Ushimaki Juri.

   All School Lunch Club members use personal defense weapons as they rarely engage in direct combat though still in line with Gehenna's firearm theme. Prior to the release of Juri (Part Timer), all members of this club (including variants) were Special students.

   The Hot Spring Development Department, or the Hot Spring Department on Global, is one of the School Clubs at Gehenna Academy. A club who is responsible for building hot springs throughout Kivotos. Despite their seemly "honest job" by Gehenna standards, the Hot Spring Development Department is known for causing trouble around various areas, such as attempting to build a hot spring in the middle of a highway that forces other schools (especially Gehenna) to stop them. Yet despite getting into various situations, the club members have a sort of passion that motivates them to keep finding good spots to develop new hot springs. They also apply in battle, especially when the reason is to build/find hot springs. The Hot Spring Development Department made their first appearance during the Operation Record of No. 227 Hot Spring Resort event when a geyser appeared in the wilderness of Red Winter Federal Academy. When the club retrieved information about this geyser's appearance, they made haste to the area, instantly built a hot springs building, gave it to No. 227 Special Class who found the geyser first, and left. They eventually returned when they heard news of the hot spring nearly running out of water and planned to blow up the Red Winter Academy to get the hot spring going again, which was prevented. The Hot Spring Development Department appeared again in the Business Trip! Momoyodou Beach Bar Franchising Plan event, where they began their own work to turn one of the Lost Resort Archipelago areas into a "Deep-Sea" Hot Spring. When other groups came by and attempted to fight for control of the resort contract, the club easily thwarted them off and those were captured ended up as "workers". When Sensei, Shizuko and the others came and explain about the situation to the Hot Spring Development Department, although they had to fight first, their president decided to give up the contract in the end. However, Shizuko decided to form a "collab" with the club, allowing them to manage the hot springs resort so that they'll be able to continue their original objective. Their president was amused by the offer and decided to work along with them afterwards. The Hot Spring Development Department returned during Vol. F where they "assisted" in repurposing some parts of the Millennium city of Eridu using the excuse of wrecking one of the pillars to able to build a hot spring there, although they joined forces with the members of Seminar against the "colorized" version of Hod. Members of Hot Spring Department: Kinugawa Kasumi (President), Shimokura Megu.

   The Hot Springs Development Department has the most distinctive mobs of all the clubs with 3 different units with faces, hairstyles and uniforms apart from the standard one.

   The Sparkle Club or the Twinkle Twinkle Club on Global, is one of the School Clubs in Gehenna Academy. They first appeared during Clockwork Flower Pavane. After being asked by Asuna and Karin about Pandemonium Society and its president, they said that they didn't know and thought that Ibuki is the president. At Where All Miracles Begin, they appeared during the defense of Gehenna. When Satsuki tried NK Ultra, they found it fun. They appeared in Sunlight Girls’ Night Song as regular students. They also appeared in Lively and Busily as participants of the tour.

   Members of Sparkle Club: Hatami Erika, Yozakura Kirara.

   Sparkle club was called Go-Home Club to denote students that are not a part of a specific club. After the release of Kirara, the Sparkle Club was created. Hifumi was depicted as part of the Go-Home Club during Volume 1 before becoming part of the Make-Up Work Club.

5. #5Trinity

   Keys: Trinity General School, Tea Party, Sisterhood, Justice Realization Committee, Knight Hospitaller, Library Committee, After-School Sweets Club Trinity Vigilante Crew, Supplementary Lesson Department, · Secondary: Trinity, Student Council, Justice Task Force, Remedial Knights, Make-Up Work Club,

   Trinity General School is one of the many schools in Kivotos. Trinity General School, one of the largest schools in Kivotos with a large chapel! They're on bad terms with Gehenna Academy, probably because there are many graceful and good students who use Bunburyodo as a model.

   At first glance, it looks like a young lady's school ...?

   A seemly religious school in Kivotos. Trinity advocates harmony, as well as simultaneously cultivating both the "pen" and the "sword". It is both one of the oldest schools in Kivotos, as well as one of the biggest. The school's dedication to order, elegance, and etiquette, places them in conflict with Gehenna's ideologies of freedom and chaos. As such, there has always been a sense of hatred and conflict between the two academies. Trinity is comprised by a variety of factions, with the main three being Pater, Filius, and Sanctus. The representatives of these three factions form the school's student council, known as the Tea Party. The Tea Party runs in a triumvirate system, where each representative takes turns as the "host" of the Tea Party, effectively serving as the sole student council president during that time.

   Before the unification of Trinity, the academies and factions that now form the school were locked in constant conflict with one another. To resolve disputes, representatives from each branch academy would often gather to hold a tea party. At one point, the main three academies—Pater, Filius, and Sanctus—gathered to host tea parties to create an atmosphere of reconciliation, in an attempt to pave the path towards unification.

   Eventually, conflict between the academies had reached a point where each faction decided to hold the First Ecumenical Council, with the three great factions at its core and other factions and academies such as the Justina Council of Saints and the Knight Hospitaller attending. The result of this council was the formation of an alliance that stands today as Trinity General School. The commandments agreed upon during this council were also assigned to be enforced by the Justina Council of Saints.

   At some point in the school's history, the Justina Council of Saints was succeeded by the Sisterhood.

   School Clubs: Tea Party (Student Council), Sisterhood, Justice Realization Committee (Justice Task Force), Knight Hospitaller (Remedial Knights), Library Committee, After-School Sweets Club Trinity Vigilante Crew, Supplementary Lesson Department (Make-Up Work Club).

   The Tea Party is the Student Council of Trinity General School. The Tea Party is the student council of Trinity General School. Unlike most other schools in Kivotos, the Tea Party is a triumvirate, with the three leaders being representatives of Trinity's great three factions. It is a great privilege to be invited to the Tea Party. The Tea Party is a student council that unlike other schools in Kivotos is run in a triumvirate-style (ruled by 3 leaders) council in which the head or current "host" is swapped between the three leaders in turns. When an individual becomes the host, they effectively become the singular leader of the school. The three leaders of the Tea Party are representatives of the three major factions of Trinity: Pater, Filius, and Sanctus. The origins of the Tea Party come from the time before the formation of Trinity General School. Back when Trinity was nothing more than a collection of schools and factions, hostility was high between factions and conflicts were plentiful. To resolve disputes, tea parties were hosted by representatives of various factions. The representatives of the three largest academies—Pater, Filius, and Sanctus—came together to host tea parties to pave the path towards reconciliation, leading to the current tradition that is upheld today. While the current host is supposed to be Seia, she is reportedly sick, and Nagisa is currently taking the helm until she returns.

   Tea Party members lined up at the Old Cathedral of Communion for the Eden Peace Treaty The standard uniform of the Tea Party's officers consists of: White blouse with black cuffs, White gloves, High-waisted, black and white pleated skirt with gold trimmings buttons, White sailor collar with gold stripes, Black neckerchief, White caplet with gold trimmings, White beret with a golden trim around the base and a black ribbon at the back, White legwear and black loafers. Members of Tea Party: Kirifuji Nagisa (Filius) Yurizono Seia (Sanctus), Misono Mika (Pater).

   The Sisterhood is one of the School Clubs in Trinity General School. The Sisterhood is a major faction within Trinity whose influence is on par with that of the Tea Party and the Knight Hospitaller. They wish for the happiness and well-being of everyone in Kivotos, but many of Trinity's student are suspicious of them. Being the successors of the infamous Justina Council of Saints, they hold their fair share of secrets; some of which may shed light on Trinity's unknown history... A seemly large club within Trinity that depicts its members as nuns, their headquarters is notably the Trinity Cathedral where other students can visit or pray. Despite being geared towards worship and prayer, they possess immense influence within Trinity, and their intelligence network is said to be exceptional. Prior the school's formation, many individual factions fought against each other until the First Ecumenical Council took place, after which most of these factions formed an alliance that resulted in creation of Trinity General School. The Sisterhood was the successor to one of these factions—the Justina Council of Saints, and they were noted for their non-interventionalist policy towards the Tea Party in modern day Trinity. As the successors of the infamous Justina Council of Saints, the Sisterhood holds its fair share of secrets, and they're willing to use their capabilities to control the flow of information or even tampering it. In the Trinity Story Arc, the Sisterhood made their "full" appearance in the latter half of the chapter 2. They assist the members of the Supplementary Lesson Department and Sensei against Mika, who attempts to stage a coup with support from Arius. It is revealed that a "private talk" between Mari and Hanako earlier in the story might be a reason on why Sisterhood decided to "interrupt". This results in the Sisterhood renouncing their non-interventionist policy, later partaking as a witness to the signing of the Treaty of Eden. They appear again in chapter 4, alongside the Tea Party and the Knight Hospitaller, to discuss the aftermath of the attack during the Eden Treaty. Members of Sisterhood: Utazumi Sakurako (Leader), Iochi Mari, Wakaba Hinata.

   The Sisterhood is the only faction within Trinity that has their own firearm theme independent of Trinity. They exclusively use Israeli made weapons evident of their mass utilization of Galil rifles.

   The Justice Realization Committee, also known as the Justice Task Force (JTF) in Global, is one of the School Clubs in Trinity General School. Their job is basically to enforce discipline within the school as well as deal with any troublemakers looking to disturb the peace. Even though Tsurugi is the official leader, it falls to Hasumi to actually carry out those duties due to Tsurugi's... problematic personality. The Justice Realization Committee acts as Trinity's disciplinary committee, similar to Gehenna's Prefect Team. Their main purpose is to uphold justice around the area of Trinity, hence the name. All of the JTF members have a red halo, black wings, a choker around the neck, and a black and red sailor uniform in common. In particular, the black uniform is exclusive to this committee, and it seems that the school doesn't have many spares in stock. Members of JTF: Kenzaki Tsurugi (Сhairwoman), Hanekawa Hasumi (Vice Chairwoman) Shizuyama Mashiro, Nakamasa Ichika, Shimoe Koharu (Ex Member).

   All known members of this club have the same primary color for their halos: red, although they have different shades of red. Koharu was a former member of Justice Task Force, suffered from failing scores. The result is her having to join the Make-Up Work Club. However, even after passing the club's evaluation exam, she and her friends from the club decided to keep the club as a form of their friendship.

   The Knights Hospitaller, or the Remedial Knights on Global, is one of the School Clubs in Trinity General School. Prior to the school's formation, the Knights Hospitaller were the center of a faction called the Johannes faction. Like the other pre-alliance factions, they fought against the other factions until the First Ecumenical Council, where it joined the Trinity alliance. As many of the clubs were succeeded by their descendants, such as with the Justina Council of Saints and the Sisterhood, or simply perhaps disbanded, the Knights Hospitaller eventually became the oldest club in Trinity. One of the clubs in Trinity whose members train to help other students with, in most cases, their general health. The appearance of its members is similar to a nurse (in training). They hold the record as Trinity's oldest club, having existed even during the pre-alliance days of the school. Unlike their Gehenna counterpart, the Emergency Medicine Club, the Knights Hospitaller have some authority in politics. However, much like the Emergency Medicine Club, their focus lies more on medical treatment, and is willing to defend and treat any just about patient, regardless of school or standing. In Volume 3, the captain of the Knights Hospitaller, Aomori Mine, took Seia into hiding following the assassination attempt on Seia and provided her with medical treatment. Later, during the events of the Eden Treaty Signing Incident, they provided medical assistance to injured students, alongside a critically wounded individual that was brought in by Sena of the Emergency Medicine Club. In Chapter 4, the Knights Hospitaller, alongside the Tea Party and the Sisterhood, gathered in a tea party to discuss the aftermath of the attack during the Eden Treaty Signing Incident. In Where All Miracles Begin, they, Sisterhood, Arius Squad, and Hanako went to attack Hieronymus in the catacombs. They are the main club in A Cathedral Christmas. Members of Knights Hospitaller: Aomori Mine (Knight Captain), Sumi Serina, Asagao Hanae.

   The Knights Hospitaller was the name of an actual, historical Catholic military order, more formally known as The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. There are no overt references to Catholic mythology within the club other than the name, however. The faction that leads the in-game Knights Hospitaller is the Johannes faction. Johannes is a medieval Latin name that typically appears as "John" in English language contexts. Both Johannes and John stem from the Greek name Ioannis, which in turn is a transliteration of the Hebrew name Yohanan. Rather than an actual military order, the club could be more related to the St John Ambulance instead, an actual organization overseen by the Order of Saint John in providing first aid and emergency medical service, which matches the Knights Hospitaller's activities. However, despite the naming, the in-game Knights Hospitallers do not use a Maltese cross like any real-world military or chivalric order, but rather a cross patoncé.

   Library Committee is one of the School Clubs in Trinity General School. As suggested by their name, this club manages the library in Trinity. Shimiko is the librarian, while Ui works in the old section of the library, deciphering ancient texts. They first appeared in Sister and the Magician of the Old Bookstore. Sensei and Hinata went to the library to contact Ui in order to repair Sisterhood's ancient book. Ui agreed to repair the book, and ordered them to bring required materials. After the materials are brought, Ui repairs the book. Later, in Trinity's Extracurricular Activities, this matter become known by the Sisterhood and Ui is interrogated by Sakurako. Hanako mediates the interrogation and reached the conclusion that the incident would be ignored if Ui investigates the ruins in the island that the Sisterhood just discovered. Members of Library Committee: Kozeki Ui (Head), Endo Shimiko.

   After-School Sweets Club is one of the school clubs in Trinity General School. Similar to the Gourmet Research Society, the After-School Sweets Club serve as a food related club focused around sweets. Yoshimi leads the group, while Natsu is often the one, who provides extensive knowledge of sweets and personal philosophy. Airi and Kazusa endures her antics to look for the most delicious candy in all of Kivotos. The After School Sweets club makes their formal introduction in the Sister and the Magician of the Old Bookstore event. The story begins with Sensei running into the club waiting in line for the Miracle 5000 Cakes, which had been stolen by the thieves in a bid to scalp the cakes off to the highest bidder, according to Natsu. With Sensei's help, the club manage to defeat the scalpers and save the owner. And later, they help Sensei secretly deliver the book by creating a diversion by distributing the Miracle 5000 cakes for free. They are the main focus of the event A Tale of After-School Sweets. During this event, they have to deal with Kazusa's past, as well as Reisa. They are also the main focus of the event -ive aLIVE!. During this event, they formed the band "Sugar Rush". Members of Sweets Club: Ibaragi Yoshimi (Head), Yutori Natsu, Kurimura Airi, Kyouyama Kazusa.

   The club is often jokingly abbreviated by the community as the A.S.S. club. Funnily enough, one form of the club's abbreviation in Korean (방디부) is done in such a way so that it roughly translates to the "bottom" club. In a dev talk, one of the developers mentioned how he made the After-School Sweets Club and the scenario for their event. He thought of the club as group that represents the everyday side of things, such as things people would normally experience in school.

   The Trinity Vigilante Club is one of the school clubs in Trinity General School. The currently known information of this club is it exist to maintain peace around the Trinity district, usually keeping the district clear from thug activities. According to Suzumi, the club is not an official club and anyone can volunteer to join the crew regardless of their background. While there's no clearly defined hierarchy of the club, Suzumi is considered the influential person in the club. Reisa also a popular person related to the club. Despite its status, Vigilante Crew is famously known for its independent and fierce image to the point some claims they would clash with Justice Realization Committee if they want to. The club does not seem to actively participated in Trinity politics, but has been involved in political incidents especially during the Eden Treaty chaos in Volume 3 when they stepped in to keep Trinity students off from fighting each other. Members: Morizuki Suzumi, Uzawa Reisa.

   The Supplementary Lessons Department, also known as the Make-Up Work Club on Global, is one of the school clubs in Trinity General School. The Supplementary Lesson Department is a club that was hastily formed by Trinity's student council, the Tea Party, to provide assistance to students with failing exam grades! Although this task would normally be handled by the Tea Party, the close proximity of the Eden Treaty means that they have little time to spare. The Make-Up Work club is a temporary club formed by the Tea Party to assist failing students. It is advised by Sensei and formed using SCHALE's authority. The club is designed to assist and deepen a student's understanding on their skills. It's a club that is only available for students who fail their exams, and will be dissolved once every member successfully passes an Evaluation Exam at once. While Sensei is in charge of helping the students, its members are encouraged to assist one another in their studies. In events, the members rarely appear together. Hifumi and Azusa are part of the main cast of Summer Sky's Wishlist, while Hanako and Koharu become part of the main cast of Trinity's Extracurricular Activities. All of them briefly met together at the end of the latter. Members of Make-up club: Ajitani Hifumi (President) Shirasu Azusa, Shimoe Koharu (Ex JTF), Urawa Hanako.

   Koharu was a former member of Justice Task Force, suffered from failing scores. The result is her having to join the Make-Up Work Club. However, even after passing the club's evaluation exam, she and her friends from the club decided to keep the club as a form of their friendship. Azusa, an Arius Squad spy, became a double agent prior to the third make-up work exam in the first incarnation of the club, thus completing her transfer to the Trinity and Make-Up Work Club.

6. #6Hyakkiyako

   Keys: Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy, Yin-Yang Club, Hyakkaryouran Conflict Resolution Council, Festival Management Committee, Etiquette Training Society, Ninjutsu Research Department, Street Ghost Troupe, · Secondary: Hyakkiyako, De Facto Student Council, Festival Operations Department, Inner Discipline Club, Ninjutsu Research Club, Street Mouryo,

   Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy or Allied Hyakkiyako Academy on Global, is one of the many schools in Kivotos.

   Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy is a school of tourism, with gourmet food, hot springs, festivals and more! The academy is a coalition of clubs and committees, each with their own rules and regulations, so there is no formal student council. One of the schools in Kivotos, which unlike the others is simply more of a "coalition" of clubs of committees with their own respective rules and policies. Their main industry is tourism and is applied in a variety of activities, with the largest activities dubbed as "Festivals".

   Due to the structure of Hyakkiyako, there is no formal student council in Hyakkiyako, though the Yin-Yang Club is sometimes seen as its de-facto student council.

   Historically, Hyakkiyako was in a similar state to pre-alliance Trinity, where factions fought against one another in what was known as the age of the warring districts. According to a tale, the Great Prophet Kuzunoha established the Hyakkaryouran Conflict Resolution Council as a way to mediate conflicts between factions.

   School Clubs: Yin-Yang Club (De Facto Student Council), Hyakkaryouran Conflict Resolution Council, Festival Management Committee (Festival Operations Department), Etiquette Training Society (Inner Discipline Club), Ninjutsu Research Department (Ninjutsu Research Club), Street Ghost Troupe (Street Mouryo), Nature's Beauty Club Places: Hyakkiyako's Shopping District.

   The Yin-Yang Club is one of the School Clubs in Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy. The Yin-Yang Club is a club that exists to maintain balance at Hyakkiyako. Although Hyakkiyako does not have a formal student council, the Yin-Yang Club is often seen as the school's de-facto student council. However, it seems they're a bit famous, or perhaps infamous, for being bureaucratic when it comes to handling requests. The Yin-Yang club is one of the most important clubs in Hyakkiyako and is often seen as the school's de facto student council. As their name suggests, their purpose is to maintain balance at Hyakkiyako. When it comes to handling requests, the Yin-Yang Club is one of the two clubs to go to, but they're often uncooperative and bureaucratic. Most of the time, requests are turned down due to their supposed lack of authority, while accepted requests typically take extensive amounts of time to be processed, to the point where the requests have already been taken care of—for better or worse. Besides internal affairs, the Yin-Yang Club is also a key figure in Hyakkiyako's public relations and fiercely promotes the school to Kivotos. Members of yin-yang club: Amachi Niya (President), Kuwakami Kaho (Vice-President), Waraku Chise.

   The Hyakkaryouran Conflict Resolution Council is one of the clubs in Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy. When it comes to conflicts at Hyakkiyako, there's two clubs the students turn to: the Yin-Yang Club and the Hyakkaryouran Conflict Resolution Council. Unlike the bureaucratic Yin-Yang Club, Hyakkaryouran has proven itself to be far more reliable in resolving matters, and a majority of cases are handled by the council. The club itself serves a similar role to the disciplinary clubs of other schools, but takes after its origins by primarily resolving conflicts through the mediation of both parties. Leadership in Hyakkaryouran is determined primarily by strength, with an old tradition that required the successor to defeat the leader in a battle for succession. Those who take on the position as the club's leader are recognized by the Great Prophet Kuzunoha as such and carry with them the "proof" of leadership, which comes in the form of an old rifle named the Hyakuren (百蓮) (lit. "Hundred Lotuses") that possesses the ability to suppress ghosts or, more specifically, ghost stories (怪談). According to a passage in a tale with broad and uncertain contents, the club was said to have been established by the Great Prophet Kuzunoha during the time of the warring districts as a means of mediating conflicts between the factions. Although the Great Prophet is treated as nothing more than an urban legend in modern Hyakkiyako, the presidents of the Hyakkaryouran claim to be able to communicate with her. Some time before Sensei's arrival in Kivotos, the club's chairwoman, Ayame, was taken into the Twilight (黄昏) by the president of the Nature's Beauty Club, Kokuriko, using the power of the One Hundred Ghost Stories (百物語) and disappeared. During the events of Cherry Blossom Festival, every member of Hyakkaryouran was inconveniently absent, leaving Shizuko to turn to the Yin-Yang Club for help instead. It's later revealed that the club is at risk of disbandment due to the disappearance of the club's president and vice-president, whose absence has caused the club to become dysfunctional and its members to lose morale—even to the point of considering quitting. In the Final Volume, the Ninjutsu Research Department is tasked with searching for the chair of the club, due to her ability to communicate with Kuzunoha. According to Niya's research, the place where the chairwoman would communicate with Kuzunoha is at the Twilight Temple (黄昏の寺院), located in Hyakkiyako's Great Snowfield. However, upon arrival, they coincidentally meet the vice-chair Nagusa, who communicates to them that the temple was destroyed long ago and its remains have long since been buried under the snow. While their request to meet the chair could not be accepted, due to their task by SCHALE, Nagusa hands over a scroll from the chair, Ayame. This scroll is later revealed to be a message from the Great Prophet herself. Other than Nagusa, no other Hyakkaryouran members were shown taking part in the events of the story, and it was later made known that they are ordered to not take part considering their current state. The state of Hyakkaryouran was only made clear in the Hyakka Ryōran volume, where a formal dissolution order was sent by Nagusa after her return. It was said that during the period when Nagusa and Ayame were absent, the members have been greatly reduced. Remaining members decided to move on after received the order, such as Renge participating in various clubs to "find her own youth". But as the news reached Yukari, she decided to take matters on her hands where she started her own succession challenge to Nagusa and other high ups in order to restore Hyakkaryouran. However as her bid to defeat Kikyou and Renge was crushed badly, Yukari gives up on reviving it. As events in Hyakkiyako Lantern Festival unfolds which put Hyakkiyako in terror and Yukari's life in danger, Kikyou, Renge and Nagusa reunited to keep the school out from Nature's Beauty Club and save Yukari whose life is threatened by Yabuki Shuro's deceiving of the situation. During their confrontation, Nagusa declared herself as the acting president of Hyakkaryouran and assumed her leadership mark of the club once again. After the events, Hyakkaryouran is back active, although their dissolution status is only put on-hold instead of cancelled due to their current state. Members Hyakkaryouran Conflict: Goryou Nagusa (Acting President), Fuwa Renge (Captain), Kiryuu Kikyou (Strategist), Kadenokouji Yukari (Newcomer).

However the club do participated actively in Hyakkiyako activities together and assisted other students with their volunteer works.

This club is first mentioned in Cherry Blossom Festival as the club Izuna aspired to join. They are fully introduced during An Unconcealed Heart. In the event, they negotiated with Yin-Yang Club for their club's legitimacy. This is later complicated with kidnapping of Ibuki, which comes as Gehenna's representative during the festival. In Where All Miracles Begin, they are sent on a mission to the Snowy Mountains. They are attacked by enemies until a reinforcement from Pandemonium Society arrived. At Hyakka Ryōran, it is implied that this club is rumored to be Yin-Yang Club's secret agency. Later, they appeared to help Sensei and others that got caught in the attack of the festival. In Get Set, Go! Kivotos Halo Games, they appeared as contestants from Hyakkiyako. Outside of the game, they are the main cast of Michirucchi. Members of Ninjutsu Research: Chidori Michiru (President), Kuda Izuna, Oono Tsukuyo.

   The way its members learn ninja arts seems to be a nod towards McNinja, given how they seem to watch ninja movies and try to copy the moves rather than undergoing proper training.

   The Street Ghost Troupe, or the Street Mouryo on Global, is one of the School Clubs at Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy. A group who is responsible for disrupting festivals throughout Hyakkiyako district. They first appeared on the event Cherry Blossom Festival, in which Nyanten-maru hired them to disrupt the festival as Nyanten-maru was disappointed to see the festival use Millennium's holographic fireworks technology. They would appear again on An Unconcealed Heart, where they are hired by Amachi Niya to kidnap Ibuki during the show and threatened a diplomatic crisis between Hyakkiyako and Gehenna Academy as a result. Several members of the group were transported to the Millennium Ruins during A Certain Scientific Record of Youth. In Volume F, they participated in the defense of Hyakkiyako against Nameless Priests alongside Etiquette Training Society and Festival Management Committee. Some time later, in Hyakka Ryōran, they were intending to disrupt the festival as usual before they encountered Goryou Nagusa of Hyakkaryouran Conflict Resolution Council, who came back from the Great Snowfields. They are easily defeated by Nagusa, gaining their ire in the process. Soon after, they began the hunt against her, intending to take revenge. While they are searching for Nagusa, they found another members of Hyakkaryouran, Yukari and Renge. They attacked them both before retreating in front of Sensei. They finally found Nagusa in the night prior to festival and assaulted Nagusa with full force, forcing Sensei and Nagusa to hide. After the assault failed, they almost gave up at their attempt to defeat Nagusa and considered enjoying the festival at last when Yabuki Shuro of Nature's Beauty Club appeared before them, intending to "help" them with the power of One Hundred Ghost Stories. They accepted the request for help and at that moment, Nature's Beauty Club attack against the festival begins. Members of Street Ghost: Arata (Leader).

   For a long time, despite being a club who is local to Hyakkiyako, no known members besides generic mobs were introduced until Hyakka Ryōran. This group's name is taken from Chimimōryō (魑魅魍魉), which is a Japanese term referring to demons or ghosts of mountains and rivers.

   The Nature's Beauty Club is one of the School Clubs at Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy. A group that rejected the formation of the alliance that forms modern day Hyakkiyako. They are described as "the evil spirits of rivers and mountains that deceive people with their strange writings." To most in Hyakkiyako, they are nothing more than ghost stories; rumors and urban legends that spread throughout the academy. As Niya of the Yin-Yang Club puts it, they are One Hundred Ghost Stories (百物語). Their ultimate goal is to create their own "One Hundred Ghost Stories," which will set the world alight. Members of The Nature's Beauty Club: Kokuriko (President), Yabuki Shuro.

   Hyakumonogatari (百物語), often translated as One Hundred Ghost Stories after Katsushika Hokusai's famous work of the same name, is a reference to the Japanese parlor game Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai which was popular amongst samurai. In this game, 100 paper lanterns are lit indoors and participants take turns telling ghost stories called kaidan (怪談) (lit. strange talk). Every time a participant finishes telling a story, they would extinguish one of the lanterns. As the room progressively darkens, it's said that the room becomes more and more suitable for the evocation of a spirit/monster. Because it's rumored that extinguishing the 100th candle would evoke a spirit/monster, almost all records stop at the 99th lantern. Kachoufuugetsu (花鳥風月部) a Japanese phrase that literally means "flowers, birds, wind, and moon." Due to the relations with beautiful aspects of nature, the phrase is used in reference to beautiful natural scenery, alongside any forms of art that seek to replicate that beauty. The club's background and role is similar to Arius Branch School, as both are renegade sub-faction that opposed the formation of the alliance of their respective schools.

   Valkyrie Police Academy or Valkyrie Police School on Global, also known as the Kivotos Student Police Department (KSPD), is one of the many schools in Kivotos. The Valkyrie Police Academy is a school that is responsible for maintaining public order and is involved in dealing with various problems in Kivotos. Unlike other schools that keep to only their districts, Valkyrie is actively engaged in all of Kivotos. As a result, there are bases all over Kivotos, and many of the students are filled with a sense of justice, but due to the restrictions of each municipality and other factors, the results seem to be almost rarely resolved by the Valkyrie alone... Valkyrie Police Academy is the primary municipal law enforcement agency of Kivotos. Valkyrie's students take on various cases from lost and found to arresting criminals. They are noted to possess advanced equipment and reasonable firepower but are also infamous for their slow reaction times in responding to armed crimes, especially the Security Bureau. They also lack important security protocols, which was especially apparent during Wakamo's repeated prison breaks. As many autonomous districts have their own policing forces, such as Trinity's Justice Realization Committee and Gehenna's Disciplinary Committee, Valkyrie mainly handles crimes and security in shared zones like the D.U. (District of Utnapishtim). Although they are able to operate in every autonomous district to an extent, but there are many restrictions in place that vary between each district that prevent them from mobilizing completely. Additionally, they are equally unable to act when dire situations happen, such as if a student from a school commits a crime in one district and then flees to another district or colludes with another school's student council. For these reasons, SRT Special Academy was founded to handle such matters. The school serves under the General Student Council's Defense Office.

   School Clubs: Public Security Bureau (Public Peace Bureau), Security Bureau Community Safety Bureau (Public Safety Bureau), Traffic Bureau (Public Safety Traffic).

   The Public Security Bureau, or Public Peace Bureau on Global, is one of School Clubs in Valkyrie Police Academy. The Public Security Bureau is a bureau in Valkyrie that seems to work like a police tactical unit. Members of Public Security Bureau: Ogata Kanna (Director), Konoka.

   The Community Safety Bureau, or Public Safety Bureau on Global, is one of the School Clubs in Valkyrie Police Academy. The Community Safety Bureau is a bureau in Valkyrie that seems to work like a police patrol. Their main role is to assist and protect civilians. Civilian response work that falls under their responsibilities tends to be mundane day-to-day tasks, such as helping find lost items or pets, helping the elderly cross the road, and several others. Despite the relatively simple level of responsibility this bureau holds, not everyone can join. Members of Community Safety Bureau: Nakatsukasa Kirino, Nemugaki Fubuki.

10. #10Arius

    Keys: Arius Branch School, Arius Satellite School · Secondary: Arius,

    Arius Branch School, or Arius Satellite School on Global, is one of the many schools in Kivotos. A faction that broke off from the Trinity Alliance and has been forgotten by time. It's said that no one—not even the General Student Council—knows where their autonomous district is, save for a few students attending Arius. Arius is a school that had broken off from Trinity General School. No one knows where their autonomous district is, except a few individuals such as Joumae Saori. The students of Arius primarily learn to fight and kill, rather than regular subjects that normal students would learn, making them a terrorist organization. Their motto is "Vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas." (Vanity of vanities and all is vanity.), which is based on Ecclesiastes 12:8: "Vanitas vanitatum, dixit Ecclesiastes; vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas." (Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.). Their logo is a skull with a crown and a rose, which are common elements of a vanitas artwork. It is later revealed that modern Arius' vendetta against Trinity was disciplined into the students by Beatrice, who was referred to as "Madame", via inhumane means such as torture and brainwashing as a method of controlling them. Beatrice resides over the school as its student council president, using Arius' Autonomous District as her base of operations. It is also through her powers that Arius' AD remains hidden to this day, as her powers allow for the path of entry into Arius, through Trinity's ancient catacombs, to change constantly. Prior to Beatrice's rule, the position of the student council president was hereditary, and the latest in line would have been Hakari Atsuko. It was also stated that Beatrice was also responsible for providing some of the deadly weapons Arius owned, such as the cruise missile, which was used during the Eden Treaty signing, and the halo-destroying bomb used by Azusa against the Arius Squad. Before the First Ecumenical Council, modern day Trinity was nothing more than a collection of hostile schools and factions. Eventually, through the efforts of the three major academies, the First Ecumenical Council was held, and a "promise" was made to stop the fighting between each school, forming the alliance that persists today. However, according to Misono Mika, Arius was fiercely against the formation of the alliance, and were later purged as a result. The Justina Council of Saints, despite being the most vocal faction to denounce Arius, led the school's exodus and took the lead with Arius' reconstruction. Approximately ten years prior to the start of the game, a civil war broke out in Arius that divided the school into two. It's unclear why the civil war broke out, but it was ended by Beatrice, who used the opportunity to take control of Arius as its student council president. She would use her power to manipulate the students by "teaching" them the "truth of the world." The students, who were oblivious to her intentions, believed her words as the truth. As such, allowing her to manifest their contempt towards Gehenna and Trinity to become the hatred they're known for nowadays. As the new president, Beatrice decided to turn Atsuko, who would have been the next president, into a sacrifice for what's known as the Iridescence with the intent to "ascend into a higher being."

    At some point prior to the start of Volume 3, Mika approached the Arius Squad with an offer to make peace between them and Trinity, asking for an Arius student to be secretly transferred to Trinity to show that students from the two schools can get along. Saori reported this to Beatrice, who asked her to stall Mika and gain as much intelligence about Trinity from her as possible. Saori complied, but also asked Azusa to begin studying knowledge about Trinity in preparation for the mission, genuinely believing in the possibility for peace. However, the situation changed when Mika, annoyed at fellow Tea Party member Yurizono Seia, asked Arius to "teach her a lesson". Seeing this as an opportunity to remove a Tea Party member, the Arius Squad, at the order of Beatrice, dispatched Azusa to assassinate Seia using a halo-destroying bomb. However, Seia convinced Azusa to fake her death instead. With the help of Aomori Mine, Seia went into hiding. The Tea Party, unaware of Seia's survival, covered up her "death", with Kirifuji Nagisa succeeding her as the host. Following Seia's apparent death, Mika began panicking and hatched a plan to remove Nagisa in a coup d'état, place herself as the leader of Trinity and incorporate Arius as Trinity's new military arm, replacing the Justice Realization Committee. For her plan, she snuck a large Arius attack force into Trinity campus. Unbeknownst to her, Arius planned to turn on her following the success of the coup. Ultimately, Mika and the Arius attack force were defeated by the combined efforts of Sensei, the Supplementary Lesson Department, and the Sisterhood. Mika lost the will to fight upon hearing that Seia was still alive and was subsequently imprisoned.

    Following the failed coup, Arius sought to sabotage the signing of the Eden Treaty. They approached Pandemonium Society President Hanuma Makoto, offering to help her wipe out the Tea Party at the signing ceremony. Because of this, Makoto, who was vehemently against Trinity, pretended to agree to the treaty. As a "token of friendship", they also gifted her an airship. Prior to the signing ceremony, Arius planted a large number of explosives underneath the site of the ceremony, the Old Cathedral of Communion. On the day of the signing, Arius launched a cruise missile at the Old Cathedral, detonating the explosives underneath and causing a massive explosion. Meanwhile, they also detonated the Pandemonium Society's airship, which was filled with crates of explosives. Taking advantage of the chaos, Arius Squad signed an altered version of the treaty, which stated that they, instead of Trinity and Gehenna, would serve as the Eden Treaty Organization (ETO). Meanwhile, using Atsuko's royal blood, Gematria member Maestro created a mimesis of the Justina Council of Saints, an immortal army dedicated to enforcing the treaty. The Arius Squad then designated both Trinity and Gehenna as violators of the treaty, causing the Council of Saints to attack both parties relentlessly.

    School Club: Arius Squad.

    The Arius Squad is one of the School Clubs in Arius Branch School. Before the name Arius Squad exists only a group formerly consisting of three students trying their best to survive the harsh environment that is the Arius Catacombs, which was under the hands of Beatrice, Arius' student council president. The students in question were Saori, Misaki, and Hiyori. It was thanks to their leader Saori that they were able to last. Originally, Atsuko was supposed to be made as a sacrifice under Beatrice's orders, but Saori made a deal with her, allowing Atsuko's fate to be postponed and giving Saori time to train her. Azusa, who is no longer a member now, was part of the group due to Saori rescuing her from being beaten up by guards for disobeying Beatrice's orders. Seeing the five students' capabilities which resulted from Saori's training, Beatrice saw a use for them, hence the beginning of the Arius Squad. An elite team formerly acting like a terrorist cell and consisting of five members formed by Beatrice yet only seen by her as mere pawns ready to be disposed of at any time. They are a Squad in command for the assassination attempt on Seia and the attack during the events of the Eden Treaty Signing. It was also during this time period that Azusa, who was originally assigned as a spy infiltrating Trinity, decided to become a double agent and betrayed the Squad after realizing the beauty of Trinity and the world, leaving a high-intensity conflict between Azusa and Arius' team and infuriating the Squad's leader, Saori. After their failed attempt in conquering both Gehenna and Trinity, Beatrice deemed them useless and decided to retrieve Atsuko back and initiate the ceremony to sacrifice her while leaving the other three members to perish, accidentally leading them to Sensei's hands.

    The Arius Squad is currently out of favor at Trinity, Gehenna and Arius campuses. They are in exile. Due to Beatrice's teachings, all Arius Squad members are nihilistic. All members except Atsuko came from poor backgrounds.

    Members of Arius Squad: Joumae Saori (Leader), Hakari Atsuko, Imashino Misaki, Tsuchinaga Hiyori. Former Member: Now belonging to the Supplementary Lessons Department. Shirasu Azusa (Double Agent).

11. #11SRT

    SRT Special Academy was one of the many schools in Kivotos. The abbreviation SRT stands for "Special Response Team". An elite school that possessed authority from the General Student Council president to mobilize freely around Kivotos. However, following the GSC President's disappearance, the school was neglected and the decision to shut it down was made.

    SRT Special Academy was originally an elite school, acting as the special forces command of Kivotos, and armed with the most advanced equipment in the city. Unlike Valkyrie Police Academy, SRT was given special authority by the GSC President, allowing them to mobilize anywhere, at any time, to respond to crime. However, following the disappearance of the GSC President, the school became unmanageable, after which a movement within the GSC began to shut down the school. The General Student Council eventually decided to shut down the school, with rumors spreading around the press that a previous commotion at the Sanctum Tower had something to do with the decision. This is later confirmed to be an incident during the closure movement, in which the FOX Platoon assaulted GSC members that supported the movement and even destroyed a portion of the Sanctum Tower in the process. This incident served as the final nail in the coffin, and the decision to merge SRT with Valkyrie was made. However, not all students were satisfied with the decision and refused to transfer, holding a public protest within Usagi Park. They continued to live there under Sensei's suggestion after being given the authority to decide SRT's fate by the chief of the GSC's Defense Office, Shiranui Kaya. Sensei also indirectly provides them food by letting them have Angel 24's disposed near-expiration bentos and provides them with other supplies using their credit card. School Clubs: RABBIT Platoon, FOX Platoon.

    While the official English translation of the game uses the word "squad" to describe the fireteams in SRT, both the JP and KR versions use the word "platoon". The usage of platoon is further supported by the presence of platoon position markings on the FOX Platoon's neckerchiefs. It is not confirmed whether the platoons are missing its personnel that require to form full-strength platoons or they are organically organized as 4-man fireteams. During the RABBIT Platoon's interrogation in V4C1E3, Miyako mentions how she's looked up to SRT ever since she was little, implying that SRT has existed for years. However, SRT only recently gained the attention of the public thanks to the breaking news surrounding the Fox Platoon when they were involved in a firefight at a factory. In the JP version of the game, this line was simplified to simply Miyako stating that she admired SRT, which mends the timing issue that the line creates. SRT teams are modeled after real-world elite infantry units such as light infantry and special forces units. In the RABBIT Platoon's case, they are modeled after the Finnish Utti Jaeger Regiment. In the FOX Platoon's case, they are modeled after the United States' Tier One JSOC units such as SEAL Team Six and Delta Force. This school uses Valkyrie's skill discs and books. In the RABBIT Platoon and the Mystery of the Missing Shrimp event, it was revealed SRT had an official channel that had around 1.000 subscribers before the school's closure.

    The RABBIT Platoon, also known as the RABBIT Squad in Global, is one of the School Clubs in SRT Special Academy. The RABBIT Platoon is a fireteam of four freshmen from the elite SRT Special Academy. They are excellent students but are just as affected by the closure and disbandment of SRT. Unlike the rest, they refuse to give up, and hold up in Kousagi Park (known as Bunny Park in Global) to protest the decision. A fireteam of four freshmen students. In protest of the closure of SRT, the RABBIT Platoon occupied Kousagi Park, where they staged a demonstration and repelled attempts by Valkyrie to detain them until Sensei's arrival. After their release, they returned to Kousagi Park and began "camping" there under Sensei's suggestions, living off of the park's free amenities and objects to be disposed, such as expired bento from Angel 24 and oil barrels. Eventually, the park became RABBIT Platoon's official home and base of operations. Unfortunately, not everyone was happy with their decision to make the park their home, especially Kaiser Construction, who planned to redevelop Kousagi Park and the buildings around it into Kousagi Town (known as Bunny Town in Global), which also included a subway station with a shopping center on top of it. Kaiser even went so far as to illegally work with Valkyrie in an attempt to vacate the area from vagabonds and the RABBIT Platoon. As the name implies, all four members of the RABBIT Platoon wear rabbit ear-like headgear and uses rabbit foods as their operation names, such as "Operation: Clover" or "Operation: Carrot." They are the main club of The Rabbit of Caerbannog. In Chapter 1, they are protesting against SRT's closure by doing a sit-in at Kousagi Park. Then, they have to improve their capabilities as a team while managing their relationship with Sensei. Later, they uncovered the secret dealing between Kaiser and Valkyrie in Operation Clover. In Where All Miracles Begin, due to their relative isolation, they did not know about the martial law imposed on D.U. Then, they met Sensei that just escaped. They, along with Valkyrie students, recaptured SCHALE in "Operation Recapture Schale". Later, they, along with Game Development Department and Hina, went to Slumpia to defeat Shiro and Kuro. In Chapter 2 of The Rabbit of Caerbannog, they are dealing with their relationship with FOX Platoon. During an attempted infiltration of a warehouse, they are captured by FOX Platoon. Then, they agreed to join with the premise of SRT's revival. Later, after learning about Kaya's plan to use the ANTIOCH thermobaric bomb and Yukino's willingness to go along with said plan, Miyako decided to oppose them. Then, they joined forces with Valkyrie and Descartes to defeat Kaiser troops guarding the place. They later went to the underground silo where the bomb is located and fought FOX Platoon there. After defeating FOX Platoon, they went to D.U. and overthrow Kaya. They are the main cast of RABBIT Platoon and the Mystery of the Missing Shrimp. They went to a fishing village to investigate the lack of shrimp export. They have to deal with the locals, which find their presence unpleasant. After that, they found out about "The Old Ones" myth and investigating it. Later, they found out that the myth is a cover for illegal operations of the shipping company. After that, they and the locals went to the ship to catch the company's official and restored delivery of shrimps. In Get Set, Go! Kivotos Halo Games, they are the contestants from SRT. Members of Rabbit platoon: Tsukiyuki Miyako (Leader RABBIT 1), Sorai Saki (Pointwoman RABBIT 2), Kazekura Moe (Pilot RABBIT 3), Kasumizawa Miyu (Sniper RABBIT 4).

    Despite living in the park, the RABBIT Platoon has a Sikorsky MH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter as part of their arsenal. This implies they have access to a hangar, a landing pad, equipment to convert it into a DAP gunship, and a healthy supply of fuel and heavy ordinance somewhere. The team's pilot, Moe, can be regularly seen doing a bombing run with it as evident of her EX Skill. This aircraft is also the team's primary vehicle for quick insertion and extraction like in the near end of V4C1. As such, the Black Hawk is often reconfigured depending on what role it is fulfilling like in Saki's EX Skill or Miyako's Memorial CG where it's used as a transport helicopter, or in Moe's EX skill where it is kitted with ESSS stub wings as a DAP configured Black Hawk. The RABBIT Platoon is likely modeled after the Finnish Utti Jaeger Regiment. This club is associated with the BGM Usagi Flap. With the release of Moe (Swimsuit), all club members have a playable variant (in this case, a Swimsuit one).

    The FOX Platoon, also known as the FOX Squad in Global, is one of the clubs in SRT Special Academy. The FOX Platoon was a well-achieved fireteam in SRT Special Academy but went AWOL after a certain incident. The FOX Platoon was a fireteam within SRT Special Academy, comprised of four third-year students. They are a well-accomplished fireteam, having even been responsible for detaining Wakamo before Sensei's arrival in Kivotos. However, following a movement by some within the General Student Council to shut down SRT, the FOX Platoon assaulted the GSC as retaliation and even destroyed parts of the Sanctum Tower. They are currently working with Kaya, who is also working with Kaiser to accomplish a coup d'etat in order to restore SRT and abolish SCHALE. As the name implies, all four members of the FOX Platoon have fox ears. Coincidentally, they're mostly known for apprehending Wakamo, the Fox of Calamity. Members of FOX squad: Shichido Yukino (Leader), Niko (Sergeant), Kurumi (Pointwoman), Otogi (Sniper).

    Keys: Highlander Railroad Academy, Central Control Center (Student Council) · Secondary: Highlander, Central Control,

    Highlander Railroad Academy is one of the many schools in Kivotos.

    Highlander Railroad Academy is under the control of Saint Nephthys Company, a private company operating in Kivotos. In the words of Asagiri Suou, "We're one and the same at this point." when questioned about Nephthys Group buying the bonds related to the Trans-Desert Railroad in Abydos. Different regions and even individual railroad lines are under the control of different internal factions, which compete with each other, based off some sort of points system. It is known to individuals outside of Highlander, that the internal operations of the academy can become extremely political.

    Structure: Central Control Center acts as the school's student council. In an unusual design, an organization oversees the student council, Highlander Supervision Office, which reports to and carries out the wishes of a board of directors, likely at Nephthys Group.

    Highlander Railroad Academy is a corporate academy which focuses on operating railroad and trains in Kivotos. It can be said that most of the train services in Kivotos is under their control. They also excel in educating students about railroads and the like.

    Unlike territorial-based schools which set their own governance on the certain district they are located, Highlander, being a service-focused school, practiced their jurisdictions in trains and railroad routes they do own, which sprawls through various districts. Additionally, the organizations within this school are all independent, but some are tasked to manage each other, such as the Highlander Supervision Office overseeing the Central Control Center.

    In addition to railroad operations, the academy has other, unspecified, business ventures.

    Keys: School Club

    School Club are extracurricular activities that exist in all schools in Blue Archive. This article will list all clubs available. School Clubs are generally the main groups of students within Blue Archive. They represent a variety of different activities and interests, whether for important duties such as accounting or leading a school, or for simple gatherings of students with shared interests such as sweets and games. For ease of organization, each student will have their club listed in their profile alongside their school. When Sensei interacts with students as a group, it will usually be together with their clubs.

17. #17Sensei

    Keys: Sensei

    Sensei is the player's character and main protagonist of Blue Archive who serves as the advisor of SCHALE, and also an adult. A teacher called by the President of the General Student Council to save Kivotos from the initial criminal uprising. From there, supported by Arona and the students of various academies, Sensei watches over Kivotos, solving problems, protecting the people, and getting into all sorts of (mis)adventures and wacky antics all the while.

    A teacher with a strange affinity for military tactics, Sensei is the advisor for SCHALE. With the help of Arona and the students of various academies, Sensei keeps the peace in Kivotos while getting into wacky antics with the city's students, guiding them to be better while getting closer to them.

    Sensei's personality varies wildly, be it childish or mature, oblivious or sharp, cunning or gullible. In general, Sensei seem to change their attitude to fit the students. Sensei has an unusual obsession with gacha games, robots and other childish obsessions, while also giving nuggets of wisdom and being able to teach and encourage students. These changes only vary more with player dialogue choices. The only constants in personality are their dedication to safeguarding the wellbeing and happiness of their students, and their unusual affinity for combat tactics. Together, these allow Sensei to become a magnetic personality that attracts the students to them, with many of the girls even developing romantic feelings. In-game, Sensei is the player's self-insert character, allowing the player to imagine their sex or any appearance they want for themselves. Though Isakusan, the scenario director, specifies that Sensei is supposed to represent how the player wants to represent themselves as, there is one notable instance of a "canon" appearance for Sensei: Arona once depicted Sensei as a crude, childishly drawn smiling character on Arona Channel, a depiction that became popular throughout the fandom. Arona would reuse this depiction of Sensei when she baked cookies showing her and Sensei together holding hands; in that respect, we can say it is the only icon appeared in-game. Publishers seem to be using it conveniently, such as the SRT mini-game released for limited time, the TW-official hot dog shop collaboration, and graffiti on the JP-official images. Isakusan also defines all media franchises of Sensei as non-canon for the original game. As such, other platforms can depict Sensei freely. The infamous Problem Solver 68 Manga where Sensei is depicted as a handsome young man with short hair, wearing glasses, a black undershirt and a long white professor's coat. In the Game Development Department's Manga, Sensei has a head similar to a portrait by Arona and a tremendous mass of muscles. In other manga anthologies also have many variations of Sensei's gender, age, and appearance widely. In the 2024 anime adaptation, Sensei's appearance uses clothing that is common among adults working as white-collar office workers, with Sensei wearing a gray suit with matching pants, and a white long-sleeved polo shirt worn underneath, black tie, and black shoes. Similarly, the facial expressions are reminiscent of the greatest common denominator faces that are often used in illustrations of government offices and public spaces in East Asia.

    The "Adult Card", also known as the "Credit Card" on Global, is Sensei's trump card. According to Maestro, it is a power obtained for the price of life and time, and is very alien that even the eldritch beings of Gematria require "meta-cognition" to comprehend it. Although the exact capability of the Adult Card is still unknown, it allows Sensei to fight on a level even beyond the superhuman students of Kivotos. This is depicted in gameplay by allowing you to use your own student lineup in a story episode battle instead of a pre-arranged story team. The card itself is a meta reference to gacha mechanics, especially for longtime, paying players. This type of players has likely built up a roster of powerful students by paying for gacha rolls and stamina refreshes to create a strong team, spending time and money and using a credit card to make the payment. Black Suit also mentioned that continuous abuse of the card can lead to a sort of corruption similar to what Gematria has gone through. Though what this actually means is still unclear, it can be said that this is a reference to people who abuse their Credit Cards too much and end up broke. The Credit Card has been used five times in the story so far: once to defeat an incomplete version of Hieronymus during V3C3E24, the second time to rescue Mika during V3C4E25, the third to clear out mysterious enemies surrounding the District of Utnapishtim during VFC2E1, the fourth to battle Phrenapates during VFC4E6, and the fifth to defeat The Fury of Set during V1C3E39. Though not confirmed, according to the teaser images, Sensei would be seen armed with a Beretta 92FS handgun, sporting the SCHALE insignia stamped on the grips. The pistol is likely for self defense purposes although it is never used.

    Genius Intellect: As a teacher, Sensei is likely smarter than most characters in the game when it comes to certain aspects such as military tactics and serious topics like politics, things that most students would probably not understand as much unless they focus on those topics, and can easily teach multiple students. They are also able to provide various moral lessons that fit with the situation, such as the infamous quote: "If you believe that your bikini bottoms are panties, then they're panties.", which they said to Yurizono Seia. The quote itself means that "If you believe that something is right or important, so it is." Military Acumen: Sensei doesn't directly engage in combat. However, they somehow possess military strategies and tactics, and are the one directing the students in combat, specifically shown by the player choosing who to deploy in combat, where they move in missions and when and where to activate the students' EX Skills. Sensei's knowledge in tactics and commanding capabilities has allowed them to turn the tides in various disadvantageous battles. SCHALE Rights: Sensei has extrajudicial authority under SCHALE, being able to perform certain duties and bypass procedures for the sake of the students. This allows enlistment of any student from any school to take part in missions, being able to act as club advisor, allowing immediate establishment of a club in a matter of hours and even standing in for the General Student Council President in absolute emergencies, as seen in V3C3E19. "Authority": Sensei seems to have a supernatural authority within Kivotos. Aside from the extrajudicial authority provided by SCHALE, certain areas and objects require Sensei to open, such as the Shittim Chest and the Ruins during the Millennium Arc.

    Vulnerability to Bodily Harm: As a normal person, unlike the incredibly durable citizens of Kivotos, Sensei is significantly vulnerable to bullets, as they can potentially die in one shot. A fitting example is during the Treaty of Eden (Volume 3), where Sensei once got shot by Saori and, despite Hina taking the bullet to protect Sensei, the bullet fragments caused serious injuries leading them to lose consciousness. This weakness is covered by the Shittim Chest's ability to protect them should it be in close proximity and have enough power. Outside such cases, Sensei is vulnerable to harm. The protection it grants is also limited, as it cannot protect them from grave threats nor when the power runs out. Acrophobia (fear of heights): During the Rabbit of Caerbannog Arc, Sensei was part of Operation: Clover, an operation where the members of the RABBIT Platoon would infiltrate Valkyrie to retrieve evidence of Valkyrie's illegal activities with the Kaiser Corporation. During the infiltration, the Rabbit Platoon members grappled down from a building, but Sensei didn't follow along with them. One of the dialogue options during this situation mentioned that Sensei has a fear of heights. Additionally, in Kotama's Relationship Stories Episode 1: Grown-Up Secrets, she tried to wiretap Schale's Executive Office but was caught by Sensei. Somewhere along the conversation, Sensei admitted that their weakness was being afraid of heights.

    Although Sensei is never directly addressed as a male, there are a number of indirect references that suggest that Sensei is male, as in the following quote from Saki when replying to Sensei's suggestion for her to do a handstand, "Why would you ask a female student wearing a skirt to do a handstand?" However, in Akane's student story, teachers can specify to be called an 'onii-chan' or 'onee-chan', the latter being the female equivalent of big brother in Japanese. Regarding pronouns, Sensei is referred to as "they", adding to the ambiguity. Despite the fact that Sensei's gender is purposely kept ambiguous in-game, the global version of the game often uses language that directly asserts Sensei as male. In the JP version, the situation is a little bit different. As a linguistic property of Japanese tones change blatantly depending on gender, but Sensei's aren't. Their first person pronoun is "watashi" (私), gender independent words that are used by both genders in formal settings, but have a neutral or slightly feminine impression in private spaces. Gender-specific tones are also avoided. This localization policy blurs gender even more than he/she's intentional avoidance. Sensei's face isn't officially shown in game, but Arona has made a drawing of their face as well as a gingerbread chocolate figure of them. At the very least, they are not bald. Arona's Sensei drawing is also frequently used by the community. As Volume 3 reveals, education in Kivotos is mostly done by Blu-Ray, with in-person teaching being restricted to guest lecturers and assistants. Thus, Sensei is possibly the only traditional dedicated teacher in the entirety of Kivotos. In fact, Koyuki was surprised to meet a teacher for the first time when she met Sensei during the Bunny Chaser on Board event. In an interview with the scenario writer, Isakusan, it's revealed that a "teacher" is a being that has completed their growth, or a complete being. What this fully entails is still unknown, but this contrasts Sensei with their "incomplete" students. Sensei's appearance in the Blue Archive Problem Solver 68 Business Diary manga has led some of the English-speaking fans to point out his loose resemblance to Sōsuke Aizen, a character from a manga titled "Bleach". Sensei's official appearance on "Blue Archive, The Animation", along with the key visual reveals prior to the premiere, has caused a sudden viral trend throughout most social medias as their gender is always an unanswered question, and their iconic "doodle" version is the only official one in the original game. This Sensei was also designed by DoReMi, who was thankful for being chosen for the project. This makes DoReMi the official artist for Sensei of the Animation. Although most official depictions of Sensei are not visibly armed, they would likely be owning a Beretta 92FS pistol as shown on the teaser image. This is likely their SCHALE issued firearm given the insignia stamped on the grips likely for self defense purposes. Despite that, they would not be seen carrying it around when near students. This could also be for Sensei's sake since they would be less likely to be pointed at with a gun in case a firefight erupts. This is because armed women would often prioritize other armed assailants in a gunfight. And given Sensei's extreme vulnerability against conventional firearms, this is the likely reason why they are not seen carrying around a gun. Fanfiction stories (and to an extent, the officially-publlished Anthologies) usually don't use the "official" version of Sensei, as the role is usually held by either an original creation of the fanfiction's writer (in stories that exclusively center on Blue Archive) or a character from another media series (in stories of the crossover variety).

18. #18Arona

    Keys: Arona, Plana

    Arona is a non-playable character in Blue Archive that resides in the mysterious Shittim Chest. She accompanies Sensei throughout their adventure in Kivotos as a guide. She is the main mascot of Blue Archive, appearing as the figurehead on its website and social media. In addition to providing information and updates to Sensei, she also runs a series of videos called Arona Channel.

    Arona is a self-proclaimed high-performance AI who serves as the OS of the Shittim Chest. She resides in a desolate classroom located in the midst of a watery expanse, stretching further than the eye can see. When she's not helping Sensei with their tasks, she's up to goofy antics that appear on Arona Channel. Arona has a child-like personality and is quite gullible, often falling for Sensei's jokes. Arona thoroughly enjoys sweets, being quick to abandon a diet for the sake of sweets—or even breaking into tears from being denied them. Arona is a small AI girl with short sky blue/violet hair with bangs covering her left eye, a white headband with a large bow, and braids tied to her left side. She has bright blue eyes and has heterochromia, with the right eye having a blue pupil and the left having a violet pupil. Arona's halo is interchangeable based on her emotions. She resembles the president of the general student council. Arona normal halo is a simple blue ring that resembles a stock power button LED ring sometimes found on certain desktop computers, but it changes to different colors and shapes based on her mood: Default Blue Circle, Sad Dark Blue Drip, Happy Pink Hearts, Motivated Green Stars, Shocked Light Blue Spikes, Light Blue Spikes, Angered Orange Spikes. She's wear sailor uniform is tied in a ribbon with long sleeves; has a white collar, and white ribbon ties with an LED ring stuck in one of them. The choker and white sneakers have bow-like shoelaces. Her white skirt has ○×+△ symbol on it. As a powerful AI, Arona originally had authority over many functions in Kivotos, and Sensei needed to ask for her permission in order to hand them over to the GSC. Arona herself still has incredible power as an AI, able to fend off a hacking attempt from Decagrammaton with a mere sneeze in her sleep when Millenium's main supercomputer was hacked in seconds.

    Reality Warping Protection Powers: When Trinity was attacked with a cruise missile during the Eden Treaty, Sensei was at ground zero of the explosion yet ended up relatively unharmed. Arona then tells Sensei that she can't protect him for much longer, meaning that she somehow managed to protect Sensei from the Shittim Chest and had enough power to nullify damage from a cruise missile. It's entirely possible that she has been using this power throughout Sensei's time in Kivotos, protecting Sensei from harm as he commands the students during the many battles waged together with them. This power has an energy limit however, as protecting Sensei from the missile, she was unable to protect Sensei from being shot by Saori afterward. Although it's still unclear if Arona's providing this power or if it's the Shittim Chest itself, this ability has been proven to be life-changing, especially for Sensei who spends a huge chunk of their time in the midst of gunfire without the bullet resistance provided by halos.

    Both Arona and the GSC President share the same complexity and resemblances.

    Arona is programmed to accompany Sensei throughout their adventures in Kivotos, providing information, aid, and protection through the Shittim Chest. Occasionally, Arona would make videos that providing information or are just Arona simply having fun with Sensei in her channel named Arona Channel.

    After the events of Volume F, Plana resides in the same Shittim Chest Arona is living in. Though due to the Shittim Chest having problems with handling two AIs, Arona has been sleeping more frequently than she normally does.

    Although the Shittim Chest where Arona lives was left behind by the General Student Council President, Arona seems to have little to no information about her.

19. #19Plana

    Keys: Plana · Secondary: A.R.O.N.A

    Plana, formerly known as A.R.O.N.A, is a non-playable character in Blue Archive that resides in the Shittim Chest alongside Arona.

    The main OS of the Shittim Chest and Arona from another timeline. She is the manifestation of the damaged Shittim Chest from alternate timeline shot by Shiroko Terror, before reactivating when Phrenapates appeared.

    Unlike Arona, despite also being the AI of the Shittim Chest, Plana generally spoke with simple commands, such as "understood." However, after parting with Phrenapates, she begins speaking more normally, though she often still speaks like a stereotypical computer AI by using simple formal response phrases. She calls Arona "Arona-senpai".

    Plana is a small girl with long white hair that extends below her waist and bangs cover her right eye. Her hair has a mild red gradient as it goes down, and she has a braid on her right side that looks like a double-helix with a red halo around where it's tied. She has dark gray irises, but her right pupil is very pale blue, while her left pupil is red.

    Plana wears a black sailor uniform with white piping on the edges of the collar that's tied with a white ribbon, a black pleated skirt that reaches just above her knees, black stockings, black loafers, and a long black coat.

    Her halo is a simple red ring. Much like Arona, her halo changes depending on her mood.

    She appears to be carrying a long-ranged rifle, likely to be a two-toned black and white Pattern 1914 Enfield bolt action battle rifle, wrapped in black shroud, similarly to Shimoe Koharu's, though she is holding it by her two hands,

    Unlike the original Shittim Chest, the password for this version is reversed, swapping Jericho and Seven. "We long for the wailing of Jericho. We bear the seven koans." Plana appears on the chalkboard in the opening sequence of the 3rd PV, causing some to believe that the 1st year anniversary takes place after the events of the final volume. In an interview with isakusan, he mentioned how Volume F has been in development for 5 years and that he's been dropping hints of it ever since its development. Plana's subtle appearance on the whiteboard appears to be one of these hints. The name "Plana" comes from the word "Planetarium," after Arona's wish for Plana to illuminate her surroundings with a warm light like a planetarium, rather than like a solitary, fleeting star. After completing the Final Volume, Plana will begin appearing in the combat selection menu alongside Arona with extra interactions, voice lines, and background changes.

20. #20Phrenapates

    Keys: Phrenapates · Secondary: Alternative Timeline

    Phrenapates is a non-playable character in Blue Archive who serves as the leader of the Iridescent Vanguard or "Guide of Chroma" in Global, and an adult. They are one of the two main antagonists of Volume F alongside Shiroko Terror.

    The leader of the Iridescent Vanguard, leading the Iridescence's invasion to Kivotos. Alongside Shiroko Terror and Plana, they appear to seek to bring Kivotos to its destined end. However, It wasn't all it seemed.

    At the end of chapter three to the beginning of chapter 4 Volume Finale, it's revealed that Phrenapates, the Guide of Chroma, is an Alternate Sensei from a different timeline. It was implied through some flashbacks during the GSC President's extended dialogue with Sensei that Phrenapates' timeline was destroyed, with all but himself, his A.R.O.N.A and Shiroko surviving. In this timeline, Alternate Sensei was injured so severally that they were comatose, with the doctors treating a life-threatening injury to his face for over 70 days. One night, Alternate Sensei suddenly wakes up from their coma, much to the shock of doctors. They decide to walk outside determined to save one more student despite intense injuries (including the steel mask that was holding their face together).

    As they went to an alleyway, however, Shiroko (consumed by the Chroma) attacks them, shooting at Alternate Sensei's Shittim Chest, leaving multiple bullet holes. However, Shiroko fails in destroying the Shittim Chest, stating that she can't bring herself to kill Sensei and starts to break down. Just then, the Nameless Priests notices the interest of Chroma to Sensei due to the desire of them to protect their students, despite Shiroko Terror's plead not to, stating from the Priests that Sensei will now be a slave as the Guide of Chroma. However, Sensei actually used that ability to escort Shiroko Terror and their other considered student: A.R.O.N.A, into Sensei's parallel world, and during the events of Volume F Chapter 4, they fought against Sensei and the other Shiroko, until they are defeated

    Their original name is exactly the same as the Sensei's name. After being exposed to the Iridescence, their appearance changed dramatically. By the Nameless Priests, they are formally known as the "False Sensei - Phrenapates". They are Sensei from another timeline who contacted the Iridescence (also known as "The Chroma" in Global) while at the verge of death for the sake of fulfilling their final duty as a teacher.

    Before dying, Phrenapates entrusted their students to their alternate timeline counterpart, knowing they would do the same if they were in their position. As Phrenapates disappeared into nothingness, Sensei solemnly nodded in understanding and reached out to activate the last teleportation slot on Shiroko Terror, sacrificing their own chance at escape for Phrenapates' student.

    Despite being endeavored by the Chroma, Phrenapates' personality is the exact same with Sensei's, always wanting to look out for their students. Just like their name implies, Phrenapates is a deceiver. They were able to deceive so well that they even fooled the Nameless Priests, all in an attempt to save the last of their students: Shiroko Terror and Plana.

    Phrenapates seems to have a mummy-like appearance without clothing, noted their hand. They wear a gray mask, a large, long gray cloak with bulky shoulder guards and wires, and a gray crown-like headwear.

    Like their alternate counterpart, Sensei, Phrenapates uses the Adult Card, known as Credit Card on Global), but it's rusted.

    The name "Phrenapates" originates from the greek word "φρεναπάτης" (phrenapatēs), which means "deceiver." Phrenapates' death is currently the second death in Blue Archive history, following Kuchinashi Yume's death. In Phrenapates' death CG, an origami crane can be seen next to them. This led some people to believe that it's the same crane that Sensei had during the 3rd PV but from another timeline. [1] Phrenapates' mask design may be inspired by King Baldwin IV's portrayal in the 2005 film Kingdom of Heaven If you complete either episode 7 or 8 (around the same time when you defeat Phrenapates), you'll be able to use their burned credit card in the items menu. Using it will give you 1200 Pyroxene, enough for a free 10-pull, but the card will be destroyed, leaving behind credit card shards, its last remains of Phrenapates' card. As of this moment, this process is irreversible. There is an incident in CN where the card suddenly appeared earlier during Hyakkiyako summer event and Hoshino swimsuit banner. However, the card was later blocked from usage and was turned into shards later on, in which the game's official account reported was an accidental bug. The theme when Sensei turns into Phrenapates is called Responsibility, which shows the desire of them wanting to protect their remaining students, despite being in grave danger themselves.

21. #21Beatrice

    Keys: Beatrice, Gematria · Secondary: Arius

    Beatrice is a non-playable character in Blue Archive who is a member of Gematria and an adult.

    She is the main antagonist of the second half of Volume 3.

Type of Villain: Power Hungry god Wannabe.

    A member of the enigmatic group who call themselves Gematria, a master manipulator and a terrorist. She is an adult and, much like Sensei, is an outsider to Kivotos. She is the newest member to Gematria who views Sensei as an antagonistic being that must be eliminated, unlike the other members of Gematria who adopt a neutral or positive stance towards Sensei.

    Beatrice was also Arius's student council president before she was defeated by Sensei. She was responsible for ceasing the long-ongoing civil war in Arius which allowed her to assume control over Arius. Gaining control over Arius allowed her to do whatever she wanted with them, leading to her manipulating them by telling them the "truth" that it was Trinity's fault they are suffering and torturing those who disobeyed her teachings, resulting in the vendetta Arius is commonly known for nowadays. Atsuko, who was originally supposed to be the president, was made into a sacrifice by Beatrice for The Iridescence to "ascend into a higher being." Although this sacrifice was postponed for several years by a deal made between Saori and Beatrice, the sacrifice proceeded due to Saori failing her end of the deal, which was later found out that it was going to happen regardless of the deal's status.

    Beatrice was also responsible for leading Kivotos to its demise by leading The Iridescence to Kivotos through the sacrifice she failed to make. As the Iridescence arrived, it took control of all of Gematria's creations, resulting in Gematria's temporary disbandment. Beatrice was also banished from Gematria due to her motives no longer aligning with Gematria's goals.

    Beatrice plays the role of main antagonist during Chapter 4 of Volume 3. She is the student council president of the Arius Satellite School, a branch that broke off of Trinity General School. During her reign, all Arius students were forced to play by her rules, and those who dare retaliate would be greatly punished.

    Beatrice perceives Sensei as an adversary due to her obsession with power and control, contrasting Sensei's ideals that a student must be free. Her antagonistic view of Sensei is intensified by her determination to eliminate any obstacles, including Sensei, and her resentment towards Sensei's disapproval of her actions. This sets her apart from other Gematria members who see Sensei as either a rival or an ally.

    Beatrice's relationship with Gematria is strained due to her disregard for the artistic integrity of their work, focusing instead on power gain. Her arrival sparked disputes and her use of Maestro's creations as weapons deepened the rift. She sees Sensei, a figure respected by other members, as an enemy. Her actions during Volume F led to Gematria's temporary disbandment and her expulsion.

    Unlike the other members of Gematria, who have some sort of artistic integrity in their own way, Beatrice views artistry as useless when there is power to gain. She doesn't consider the artistry nor the passion put behind the other members' research and work, going so far as to even insult them despite the aid they've been providing her, leading to their dislike towards her. She is also considered a power-hungry sociopath, always trying to gain more power and obliterate anything that stands in her way, regardless of the consequences that can occur. She also aims to ensure that not even a sliver of hope remains in her domain, hence her decision to eliminate all the remains of the old Arius school that can instill hope onto the students.

    She sees Sensei as a major enemy with extreme and obsessive animosity, wanting to destroy them at all costs.

    Beatrice has red skin and wears an absurdly long white dress. Her head resembles a white flower that hasn't bloomed yet, with multiple eyes peeking out.

    Unlike the other members of Gematria, who have some sort of artistic integrity in their own way, Beatrice is embodiment of the extreme megalomaniac: extremely arrogant, narcissistic, immoral, overconfident, ruthless, cowardly and egotistical sociopath who obsessed from power. Above all, she is not the slightest amount of respect or consideration for colleagues. On the contrary, it was not enough to openly say to the other members, 'I'm not interested in the art you are pursuing' in front of these three people, the technology provided by Black Suit, the text interpreted by Golconde, and the precepts Mimesis by Maestro. They even committed arbitrariness, such as using the guardians without their permission and in a way they didn't want.

    Even Maestro said, 'I don't remember giving permission to use my masterpiece at will, much less allowing it to be used in that way. Above all, when she blatantly angered him by saying, "Before we ask who owns the ownership, it's disgusting!" and exhaled life. In this way, she behaves in a way that goes as far as she feels like, without thinking at all about the future, as well as the teachers and students of Kivotos, whom she is hostile to, openly causing conflict with other Gematria members, and choosing only things that will make them hateful. Because of this, she was later counterattacked by Sensei and students, injured or injured, and other Gematria members who suffered from identity theft lost all their arrogance at her simple ignorant and reckless words and actions. The development was predicted that these three would conspire against each other and purify her while stabbing her in the back.

    She indoctrinates her students with nihilism, brainwashing them into killers who don't fear death, but in reality she's a coward. She is very afraid of her students getting out of her control, and when the Kyrie eleison comes on the phonograph, she is shown listening to it and panicking that the Arius students she has brainwashed will revolt against her.

    In the end, the plan is stranded by Sensei, Arius Squad, and Mika Misono, and the plan is completely ruined, and instead of becoming a high-ranking being who stole the mystery, she collapses as an ugly monster. It's a bonus that she was dragged away while being ridiculed by Golconde & Decalcomanie for playing a setup game that is no different than a folding screen in the progress of the story. To Gematria, the Iridescence is still a setting game worthy of analysis, so she was not expelled or purged from Gematria, but as a result of maximizing aggro against other members, I chose to commit only my own arrogant and reckless words and actions and arrogant acts. Maestro is hostile to her, Black Suit is lost, and even ridiculed by Golconde & Decalcomanie, it is a failed position. It's good if it doesn't appear as. In the end, her life, which was expected to be the final boss candidate by openly treating the members of Gematria as a keeper until Chapter 4, and scattering rice cakes foretelling the imminent destruction of Kivotos, now degenerates into a meaningless McGuffin.

    Beatrice commanded the troops of the Arius branch school and ordered the squad to pursue Atsuko Hakari, the descendant of the lineage of student council presidents for Arius before Beatrice usurped them. In the end, Atsuko, who decided that there would be no chance of winning in the continued pursuit, chose to be captured by herself and instead offered Beatrice a promise that she would surrender and not pursue the rest of the squad any longer. Beatrice accepts the promise and Atsuko is sent away, but Beatrice has no intention of keeping her promise to Atsuko, and in the end, Saori Joumae, Misaki Imashino, and Hiyori Tsuchinaga are chased again.

    After that, Seia Yurizono appears with the rest of the members at Gematria meeting she saw in her dream, where it is revealed that Beatrice owns the white basilica, which is the base of an autonomous branch of the Arius school, and that she, unlike the other members, is a teacher. strongly expresses the opinion that it must be removed as it is the biggest obstacle in its means of research. In response, Maestro replied that he didn't remember ever giving permission for her to use use it and openly expressed his displeasure, while Golconde & Decalcomanie also expressed skepticism, saying that the radical method is not good, but the Black Suit retorted that though he wanted to recruit the sensei into Gematria, he didn’t have the right to intervene and told her to do it herself.

    However, at that moment, Seia made a noise in surprise, so Beatrice vacated her seat, saying that there was someone spying on her, and then came back into her dream to attack Seia, who had flowed into the basilica. It tells of the ritual that brings about the end of Kivotos.

    As Saori, Misaki, and Hiyori continue to pursue the Arius members, they offer a conciliation plan, saying that they will allow Saori and Misaki to kill the sensei, and Hiyori to return to Arius territory on the condition that they betray Saori. However, there was no way for those who had already witnessed him to openly break his promise with Akko right on the spot in the prologue. Rather, they joined the teacher and created a situation where they infiltrated the district to rescue Akko.

    In the middle of Chapter 4, Beatrice ended the civil war that broke out in Arius 10 years ago and rose to the position of student council president, and changed the motto "Vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas (Vanity of vanities and all is vanity)", originally a virtue that teaches humility, to "Vanitas vanitatum, dixit Ecclesiastes; vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas (Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity)." It turns out that Beatrice brainwashed the students of the Arius branch school and taught them to kill and hate each other, and any students who rebelled against this were suppressed with severe beatings. And after putting together the pieces of the puzzle of various situations, Saori eventually realizes the mission was just a trap for Beatrice just to secure the Chroma.

    At that moment, Beatrice affirmed that she did trick the group and had them commit heinous crimes and control them through hatred while mocking the sensei, the Arius Squad and others, surrounded them with the Justina Council, and gave a final speech about her convictions as an "adult" before Kibo. He persuades him by telling him the truth about Toss. However, the sensei retorts that Beatrice insulted teaching and learning and will never forgive her as an adult. After hearing it, Beatrice mocked the sensei, saying he is no different from a child who supports the Treaty of Eden, and accepts it as a declaration of war, while officially declaring him as her enemy. And he said that if he could get to the basilica of Arius, he would make a decision there, and then he gave the order to the Justina Council to annihilate the group.

    In the meantime, when Mika Misono, who was burning with vengeance, tried to kill Saori, she admired it from a distance and praised it. However, when Saori and Mika realized and apologized and the teacher forgave them, they said that this development was unacceptable and went along with carrying out the ritual to sacrifice Atsuko to the Chroma earlier than expected due to Saori breaking her end of the deal she made with Beatrice, and also to become a higher-ranking being with the Chroma. Then, as an absolute adult, the sensei insists that she will understand him. However, the sensei denies her logic announcing that he is neither a judge, a saviour, nor an absolute being, he is just a crutch of existence for the students. In return with the mysterious power that he began to take away from Akko, Beatrice declares that she will become the most sublime being meant to rule the world, undergoing a monstrous transformation with the power she took, frightening Hiyori and the other students.

    Then, when Mika Misono and Koharu Shimoe play a song of mercy from the destroyed gramophone in the choir room, she is furious saying that such a song should not be played in her territory teaching the cause of hatred, but is told to shut up by the teacher who is also furious. In response, Beatrice tries to make Saori Jomae into her new sacrifice who stands at the forefront to protect everyone and try to destroy Beatrice's altar and she desperately calls in all the troops of the Justina Council, only for Mika Misono to draw them all away, and Beatrice eventually collapses without anyone's help.

    Even after the squad managed to save Atsuko, Beatrice tries to continue with her evil plans, but Golcomte & Decalcomani appear and inform them that Beatrice's plan has failed, and that Beatrice is not the main character, nor the teacher's antagonist, and is just a stage set that she does not need to know, retrieving her. As a result of Beatrice's observation of the Chroma through her consciousness in the Eden Treaty, the Chroma was also observed by Kibotos through Beatrice.

    Beatrice, who returned to the shame of being retrieved by Golconde & Decalcomanie with all plans in vain, did not just observe the Chroma and ended it, but went mad with anger at the teacher and told the Chroma to invade Kivotos in order to kill the sensei. The rest of Gematria, who know the dangers of the Chroma, confronts Maestro, who reproaches her for wanting to live even after putting Kibotos on the verge of destruction, and Golconde and Black Suit believe they didn’t intend for so much damage to happen, since Beatrice is merely a researcher and explorer. Criticizing Gematria's way of working as a member, Beatrice admits she only tried to build up her own sublimity and become a god of the new world, saying that she is willing to eliminate Kivotos, and even Gematria members, or put them under her feet. Fed up with her behavior, the Gematria members decide to expel her, believing that her Beatrice has been consumed by her own hatred and madness.

    In response, Beatrice presses them to watch her mouth because the power of Chroma is flowing through her, but Gematria has already prepared a means to counter it from the moment Beatrice came into contact with it, and Golconde couldn't even resist it and left in fear. Beatrice self-destructs as the Chroma starts consuming her. In the end, Maestro ridicules Beatrice, who is dying in a pitiful way, saying that although she bumped into him a lot, she acknowledged one thing – that she disappeared without even leaving a will. The rest of Gematria said that they would discuss the vacancy later, and continued the meeting as if nothing had happened.

    Gematria - former allies turned killers Black Suit - former ally Maestro - former ally Golconde & Decalcomanie - former ally and killer The Chroma Arius Branch School - minions, pawns, and enforcers Saori Joumae - formerly Misaki Imashino - formerly Hiyori Tsuchinaga - formerly Atsuko Hakari - formerly Azusa Shirasu - formerly Arius students Mimesis Barbara

    Unlike other Gematria members, she sees Sensei as an enemy to be killed, and has no respect for other Gematria members. Her usual behavior is simply being ignorant, aggressive, even brazen, and she is so out of line that she is looked down upon by her other members. Basically, Gematria isn't a group that seeks dominance and destruction, it's a group that pursues its own research, truth, and philosophy, albeit in an evil way, and the other members, even if they don't agree with each other, are each other's. While showing respect for ideas, she looks down on other Gematria members. As such, she is the most evil and heinous of the Gematria members. She ended a decade-long civil war within Arius, but this was simply to manipulate Arius' students. After she became the student president of the Arius branch school, she distorted the doctrine of "Vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas (Vanity of vanities and all is vanity)", which was originally a phrase to teach Arius students the virtue of humility, into an interpretation that says, " Vanitas vanitatum, dixit Ecclesiastes; vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas (Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity)" and taught them that Gehenna could not coexist with them and Trinity is the source of their suffering, souring relationships with them. Beatrice instructs the students to be cold-hard killers, instilling the perception that she is a teacher of the truth and an adult whom the students will follow and respect. In addition, even within Arius, there were children who refused or rebelled against Beatrice's education, and they were severely abused at the training grounds within Arius Autonomous District. Due to her education, Arius' students became mentally broken murderers, and her philosophy on killing led to the death of countless students and the degeneration of the students' social skills, such as Azusa recognizing school as a place to teach murder and showing an inability to adapt to Trinity, Misaki falling into extreme nihilism and attempts suicide several times, and Saori showing ignorance of social life. This shows how the worst and most terrible of Beatrice's teaching methods are. She is responsible for degrading the idealistic Mika Misono to a traitor full of hatred by taking advantage of her gullibility and hatred of the Gehenna Academy at the time, so she uses the Arius Squad to attempt to assassinate Seia and Nagisa, which is accomplished through Mika's corruption. She tried to corrupt and manipulate Mika to cause a war between Trinity and Gehenna, and tried to Genocide the entirety of Trinity and Gehenna using the students of Arius Branch School. She used the Justina Council created by the Maestro for terrorism and the Trinity vs Gehenna war she instigated, and the Maestro was very displeased with her methods, with even Golconde and Decalcomanie being uncomfortable with the war crimes she caused. In order to save others from the Arius Squad, who resisted her inhuman brainwashing in any way, she was forced to undergo inhuman training with her hopes castrated to make it Arius' elite squad. He pledged the lives of his squadmates to Arius, giving them despair, and eventually brainwashing those he wanted to protect into the doctrine of hatred. She then planted a Halo Bomb on Atsuko, to force the Arius Squad to obey her. In order to execute the Arius Squad who betrayed her, she commanded the troops of the Arius branch school and ordered the squad to pursue. In the end, she decides that there is no chance of winning in the continued pursuit, so she chooses to let Atsuko Hakari be captured by herself, instead proposing to Beatrice that she surrender and promise not to pursue the rest of the squad anymore. In response, Beatrice accepted the promise and Atsuko was taken away, but Beatrice did not intend to keep her promise to Atsuko and tried to kill Saori Jomae, Misaki Imashino, and Hiyori Tsuchinaga. She intended to use Atsuko as a sacrifice to bring about the end of Kivotos. And, in another timeline where Sensei doesn't exist, she used Saori as a sacrifice to bring about the end of Kivotos. She threatened Saori and Misaki with the murder of their sensei, and Hiyori with the promise of letting them return to Arius Autonomous Region on the condition that they betray Saori. She rationalizes all the terrible evils she has committed, saying, "Paradise is paradise because it is eternally unreachable," where "adults" dominate, exploit, and prey on "children" while using the Justina Church to surround the sensei, and gives a speech about his beliefs as an "adult", persuading him to tell the truth about Kivotos. After hearing that the sensei will not forgive her, Beatrice added that he is no different than a child who supports the Treaty of Eden," and accepts it as a declaration of war, while officially declaring the teacher as the enemy. After she said that if she could get to the basilica of Arius, he would make a decision there, and then she gave orders to the Justina Council of Saints to annihilate her party. She sacrifices Atsuko in front of Sensei, tries to carry out a ritual to take away the mystery and become a higher-ranking being, and as a bonus, she brings Seia Yurizono, who was caught spying on her, into the ritual to watch in terror and forcibly uses Atsuko as a vessel for the 'Chroma' outside Kivotos, pressuring the sensei to try to reverse it, using the stolen power from Atsuko to try to live a noble and high-ranking existence, and as proof of that, a mysterious symbol Halo was manifested. Upon defeat, she tried to direct the Chroma to Kivotos' location in order to kill the teacher, causing the events of Volume Final. Originally, the possibility of Kivotos being discovered by the Chroma was as slim as finding a needle in a haystack. If only Beatrice had observed the Chroma and not used them, the odds of it finding Kivotos would have been much lower until Beatrice went mad with hatred and made the Chroma come to Kivotos. Even so, the other Gematria members are aware of the dangers of the Chroma, as seen with Maestro, who reproaches her for wanting to live even after driving Kivotos to the brink of extinction, Golconde, who says it was not intentional, and Black Suit, who says that it may not be too late to deal with it (which is proven to be the case later on). Although confrontational, Beatrice criticized Gematria's method of acting as a researcher and explorer, saying that she only tried to build her own sublimity and become a god of the new world, and rather eliminate Kivotos, even Gematria members, or put them under her feet. Completely disgusted by her behavior, all the members judged that Beatrice had been eaten by her own hatred and madness, and decided to expel her, leading to her eventually committing suicide out of cowardice. Overall, she is considered one of the most heinous, darkest villains within the Blue Archive. The Blue Archive eschews a light-hearted, action-teen story, but with her arrival, the Blue Archive's story began to take a dark and brutal turn, and eventually she brought color into Kivotos, intending to annihilate all of Kivotos' humanity, which is a crime none of the villains in the Blue Archive have committed. The ill effects she left behind have continued long after her death, with Mika, who was used as her pawn, becoming an object of hatred and severe bullying within Trinity, and the targets of her abuse, the Arius Squad, still being hunted as criminals. Besides, without her involvement, the Treaty of Eden episode would have gone as a light-hearted, action-teen story, even if it was serious. Although she ended up as a MacGuffin, as Golcomte said, the bad influence she left behind was still very bigger.

    Even though she did end a civil war in the Arius Branch School, it was definitely not out of kindness. As she would instantly assume total power over the school and its students and indoctrinating them into nihilistic killers. Her teachings would still have an effect on their minds even after her defeat and death. She is entirely responsible for everything the Arius Squad did in volume 3. As when Mika came to the district for peace, she would manipulate everything by have them kill Seia (which failed) and committing a terrorist attack on the Eden Treaty, which nearly caused a war between Trinity and Gehenna. She is also responsible for Saori shooting Sensei and nearly causing them to die. Even after the Arius Squad failed, she would have them disposed of and retrieve Atsuko back. Showing she them and the Arius students as disposable pawns, despite the fact that they are one of her strongest students. When she got the Arius Squad surrounded, Atsuko would state that she would go back to the school as long as she spared the squad. However, after Atsuko was out of sight, she would still have them killed, (although they escaped). She would gloat to Saori that she never wanted to help her get "revenge" on Trinity and Gehenna and that she only wanted them destroyed for merely being "flies on her chess board". She would attempt to sacrifice Atsuko to transform herself into a god and rule Kivotos. When Mika being to play Kyrie Eleison, she would angrily get petty and claim only hatred and contempt can be allowed in the school district. She would try to have Saori become a new sacrifice. Even after defeat she would refuse to admit it for the sake of her ego. When Gematria discovered the Chroma found the main timeline, she began to put the blame on Sensei's entire existence. When it became clear they wouldn't believe it, she would arrogantly admit she did it, not caring that millions would suffer and die. Believing that she was beyond insane, Black Suit would have her rightfully expelled from Gematria, something that got her angry. Her death by her former allies was by no means played for sympathy, but pure satisfaction and karma. She is often regard as one of the most hated villains, if not, the most hated character in the entire game. As she committed many atrocious acts in the Arius Branch School and feel no remorse for it. Is entirely responsible for the events in volume 3 and F. And is just an awful person with no redeeming qualities in general.

    Amazing Technicolor Population: She's the most "human"-looking out of the Humanoid Abominations comprising Gematria, to the level of being an alluring Ms. Fanservice in most appearances, but one prominent trait that still makes her inhuman nature clear is having bright-red skin. Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Her seeming end goal, with her explaining that, using the fragments of Atsuko's Halo combined with the "Mystery" in her royal blood after she's sacrificed in the planned ritual, she'll be able to become a "higher existence". It's later revealed that wanted to use the ritual to make contact with the Chroma, which is a truly godlike entity. Arch-Enemy: Considers Sensei this by the end of Chapter 4 of the Trinity Arc, even referring to them as "my antagonist" when they meet in person in To The Most Holy Place, most likely because of Sensei's Hope Bringer status and willingness to support his students' dreams directly threaten Beatrice's methods of controlling hers, which involve crushing their dreams and breaking them into Blind Obedience. Arc Villain: Is set up as the primary antagonist for Chapter 4 of Volume 3. With Mika's plans for Trinity foiled and the Arius Squad's assault on the Eden Treaty defeated, Beatrice seems set to move from Greater-Scope Villain to the central antagonist now that Sensei and the Arius Squad are taking the fight directly to Arius Branch. Bad Boss: The fact that the majority of the Arius students are kept in line by fear of her, according to Saori, doesn't paint her in a very good light. It only gets worse with the reveal that she intends to sacrifice Atsuko in a special ritual, and uses the threat of that to force the Arius Squad into doing her bidding and attacking Trinity and Gehenna. Berserk Button: Insulting her intelligence. When Maestro did so during their conversation early in Chapter 4, she interrupted him to snap right back: Maestro: "I am not asserting possession over them, you brute, I-" Beatrice: "Brute? How dare you call me that." She takes a very dim view of Sensei's Rousing Speech in Infinite Possibility, to convince Mika and Saori that there's still hope for a better future for them, interrupting them to denounce them as a liar and sic more Justina Saints on the group. Considering her own modus operandi as a Hope Crusher, this isn't surprising. Beatrice: "ENOUGH of your nonsense! How dare you utter such nonsense in my basilica." Beatrice: "I am no longer amused. The show shall end here." Related to the above, she snaps again in Kyrie For Courageous Girls when she hears the hymn Mika plays on an old set of organs and gramophones during her Hold the Line action, which Misaki identifies as a "Kyrie eleison" or "hymn of mercy". Since she rules through fear and despair, she doesn't want to hear ANYTHING that might lift a student's spirits and break her hold over them. Beatrice: " No, no, NO!!! I will NOT stand for this! How dare she play a song of mercy in MY territory!" Beatrice: "No, I cannot allow this!! Students must only sing curses of hatred... of contempt!" Beatrice: "Students must remain in a hell of mutual harm and contempt so that WE may exploit them!" Bring It: Once Sensei refutes her assessment of them, and declares that it's their duty as a teacher to simply be there for and support his students when they're in need, Beatrice erupts into a Slasher Smile and dares them to prove their resolve. Beatrice: "Is that so? Then prove it to me here and now...!!!" The Corrupter: The one responsible for verbally tearing down and indoctrinating the Arius Squad, and by extension all of Arius at present, into being what they are via her pessimistic and self-serving philosophy, and in turn helping to twist Mika from a once-idealistic girl into an angry, backstabbing traitor. Dream Weaver: Implied to have some power over dreams, as she is able to perceive, interact with, and even imprison Seia when the latter dreams her way into the Arius Basilica in Chapter 4, mocking her for believing she was safe simply because she was in a dream. Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While she's a fair bit more pragmatic in her approach to dealing with Sensei than her colleague Black Suit, Beatrice still manages to fall into the same trap that he does, fundamentally misunderstanding the kind of person Sensei actually is and how they might not be swayed to her side by Beatrice's explanation of her endgame. It's telling that their rejection of her assessment of them leaves her utterly flabbergasted and angry, as if unable to understand how Sensei could be different from her. Beatrice: "Surely, you understand the value in such an undertaking. You, who possess the absolute power to pass judgment on or offer salvation to all students...!!!" Sensei: "No, you're wrong. You misunderstand me." Beatrice: "What...?" Sensei: "I'm no judge. I don't have the right to pass judgment on anyone. I'm no savior. I can't rid this world of suffering. I'm no absolute being. I can't rid this world of sin. I'm none of those things." Beatrice: "If you are none of those things... then what in damnation are you!?!" Evil Counterpart: Chapter 4 styles her as this to Sensei, with Beatrice having a leadership role and authority over many students just as Sensei does, with her even positioning herself as the only trustworthy adult they can turn to, just as many of the other schools' students turn to Sensei and SCHALE for support and reassurance. However, the key difference between them is that Sensei puts their students' dreams first, even being willing to risk themselves openly to help them succeed, while Beatrice has turned Arius' students into her own private army, cares very little for their safety or wellbeing and effectively indoctrinates them into discarding any dreams or views they may have in favor of her own philosophy ("All is Vanity") and serving her whims. Facial Horror: She has a twofer: under normal circumstances she has literally No Mouth, providing an Uncanny Valley feel with her otherwise human-like body. That changes whenever she gives off a sadistic Slasher Smile, as the skin where her mouth would be tears open to expose a mouthful of sharp teeth underneath the strands of connecting flesh. The Friend Nobody Likes: Due to the fact she's more interested in using the research of her colleagues to achieve her personal goals of control and power rather than holding satisfaction in the research itself, several times outright insulting them on their interests, the rest of Gematria don't have much fondness for her as a person, willing to engage in professional interaction for their goals but otherwise disliking her attitude, most notably when Beatrice heavily presses Maestro's Berserk Button by using his "work" in the Justina Saints mimesis as a weapon of war. Since they already had a distant relationship from differing perspectives, the moment she's revealed to have contacted the Chroma to try seizing its power, they waste no time disposing of her as a liability. For Science!: Much like her colleague Black Suit, Beatrice is interested in knowing. Unlike him, she's interested in unraveling the secrets of Kivotos itself and the world it's part of, rather than focusing on the Mystics of students...and she believes that sacrificing Atsuko in a ritual will grant her the knowledge she seeks. Greater-Scope Villain: Was this for the first 3 Chapters of Volume 3, being the leader of Arius supporting and directing their efforts against Trinity and Gehenna while staying out of the spotlight completely until Chapter 4 rolled around. Hope Crusher: Beatrice's indoctrination routine for the Arius Students, as alluded to in Saori's flashback in Another Me, revolves around convincing them that they have no hope for a brighter, more pleasant future and all they can do is accept their miserable lot and serve her unquestioningly. She even mentions destroying all the organs and gramophones to stop any students from playing uplifting songs, ensuring they stay angry, vengeful, and miserable. Humiliation Conga: Suffers this in Kyrie For Courageous Girls and Beloved. First, she severely misunderstands Sensei as a person, leading to an angry, flabbergasted rant as she tries to work out what they are; her One-Winged Angel form is beaten twice by the Arius Squad under Sensei's leadership; her guards fail to show up when she summons them thanks to Mika's Hold the Line action; and she needs to be bailed out by fellow Gematria member Golconde, who makes it very clear to her that she's not in fact The Hero, nor is Sensei her personal villain, outright calling her "an insignificant plot device". Hypocrite: She drills in Arius's "vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas" motto into her student's heads in order to keep them under her thumb, but she herself is incredibly vain, and everything she does is for the sake of feeding her own self-importance. I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: Uses this threat to keep the Arius Squad doing her bidding, repeatedly threatening to sacrifice Atsuko in a dark ritual unless they do as she asks. Then she goes ahead and has Atsuko used for the ritual anyway. Knight of Cerebus: While Volume 3 was already veering into a quite dark territory with Mika's coup attempt, the (attempted) assassination of Seia, and Azusa's willingness to become a murderer herself to stop Saori and protect her friends, Beatrice's introduction ramps things up even further. She's taken complete control of Arius Branch and rules the students through fear while indoctrinating them with her philosophy into an army willing to fight and kill for her, she's plotting a ritual using Human Sacrifice as fuel, abducts and tortures Seia when the latter spies on her via dreams and is the first Gematria member to explicitly order Sensei killed off to stop them interfering. Knight Templar: Going off of Beatrice's dialogue when she's finally confronted face-to-face, she genuinely seems to see herself as The Hero trying to save Kivotos with her ritual with Sensei as the Designated Villain, even calling them "my antagonist". Unfortunately, she's a vicious, abusive torturer that's very out of place in the world of Blue Archive and is a Dark Messiah at best even if her goals of salvation are sincere, and winds up losing to Sensei and the Arius Squad. More Deadly Than the Male: For all of their plans and strategies against the other schools and students, neither Black Suit nor Maestro has acted against Sensei directly, with Maestro barely interacting with them and Black Suit trying to recruit them, then giving in and forking over Hoshino's location without complaint when it's clear he can't sway Sensei. Beatrice, meanwhile, is insistent that Sensei needs to be killed to stop them from interfering with her plans. She's also the only known Gematria member to have a One-Winged Angel transformation that she uses to fight personally. Ms. Fanservice: Compared to her compatriots, Beatrice is decidedly more conventionally attractive, lacking Maestro's two heads or Black Suit's mineral-Esque skin and instead wearing quite a revealing Sexy Backless Outfit accentuating her sprite's Boobs-and-Butt Pose. Even the multi-eyed headpiece that covers the top half of her head does little to detract from her looks. The Needs of the Many: Reveals this as part of her motivation in Agnus Dei, insisting that her 'ascension' is in fact necessary to save Kivotos, and arguing that one sacrificial lamb (that being Atsuko) is a small price to pay for the power and knowledge to save everyone else. No-Nonsense Nemesis: Where Black Suit and Maestro either attempted to recruit or avoided Sensei when carrying out their plans, Beatrice fully recognizes the threat they can pose and plots to have them killed as soon as possible. Beatrice: "Their interference would alter the meaning of all that I possess. They are dangerous." Beatrice: "That's when I realized in order to bring my plan to fruition, I must eliminate Sensei before all else." Demonstrated nicely in Chapter 4 of the Trinity Arc, where Beatrice's immediate response to Sensei turning down her offer of a partnership is to sic Justina Saint Guardians on him and the Arius Squad, ordering them terminated at once. Omnicidal Maniac: Having gone mad from her defeat at the hands of the Sensei, Beatrice deliberately reveals the location of Kivotos to the Chroma, which would result in not just the destruction of the Sensei and Schale, but the entire city and everybody in it. The Promise: She made one to the Arius Squad that she wouldn't sacrifice Atsuko if they continue doing her dirty work. In truth, she never intended to follow through and tries to kill them after their purpose is done. Theme Naming: Named after Beatrice from The Divine Comedy. She refers to herself as a Visionary of Pilgrims, and during her first meeting with Sensei, she compares the Arius that has been taken over by her as a 'Paradise' exclusively for adults, where adults dominate, exploit and prey on children. This Cannot Be!: As her Villainous Breakdown progresses due to the Humiliation Conga she receives through the V3C4 finale, she repeatedly exclaims disbelief at how these things are happening, not understanding how her first One-Winged Angel attempt was beaten, feeling confusion and rage at how the "Kyrie Eleison" / "Hymn of Mercy" managed to play despite deliberately breaking every source of music that could perform it, and then when her second attempt at transforming to defeat Sensei fails she falls into despair unable to accept or comprehend how she lost. Too Dumb to Live: She boasts that she's in league with the Chroma to the rest of Gematria, despite knowing that Gematria are vehemently opposed to the Chroma and would have no qualms killing her to put a stop to her plans. Tyrant Takes the Helm: Has already seized control of Arius Branch and its autonomous district by the time the story shifts to focus on them, and her rule is apparently bad enough that most of the students fear her. Near the end of Chapter 4, it's outright confirmed, both by the Arius Squad and Beatrice herself, that she keeps her students miserable and angry on purpose to allow her to exploit them better. Later, it's shown that she wants to expand her tyrannical control to all of existence. Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Beatrice is extremely off place for the setting of Blue Archive in-general. While most other villains are mitigated by either being somewhat comedic, have redeeming qualities or in Mika's case, too detached from reality, Beatrice is essentially Agatha Trunchbull waltzing into a more-or-less light-hearted waifu gacha game to wreck havoc with her horrific physical and psychological abuse. Even compared to her other Gematria brethren, she sticks out. Villainous Breakdown: She doesn't take it well when her One-Winged Angel form is beaten, twice, by the Arius Squad, first in Agnus Dei and second in Beloved, her composure shattering as she's reduced to angrily screaming and then weakly moaning that everything was in place and there's no way she should have lost. Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Fellow Gematria member Golconde arrives to collect Beatrice after she's beaten in Beloved, allowing her to escape to plot another day since the Arius Squad is busy tending to Atsuko and Sensei is a Non-Action Guy who can't actually stop him. We Can Rule Together: During her encounter with Sensei in Chapter 4, Beatrice tries to entice them to allow the ritual to go ahead by pointing out all the secrets of the world they can uncover together. Sensei, being who they are, turns down the offer, adamantly refusing to accept anything that involves sacrificing a student. Beatrice: "It is the duty of an adult to bring salvation to all. And that is accomplished by ascending to a higher existence. And that is exactly why I have prepared this ritual. By utilizing a power foreign to Kivotos, I shall ascend to a higher existence. And once I have climbed to such lofty heights, I shall bring salvation to this world. Such is the ultimate destination any adult must strive for!" Wrong Genre Savvy: Lampshaded by Golconde when the rest of Gematria finish her off, as he chides Beatrice on her ambition. Golconde: "Oh dear, oh dear. Our poor Madame has not read enough storybooks. Side characters who strive to become the protagonist never make it to the ending." You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: She makes the Arius Squad do her dirty work so she won't sacrifice Atsuko, but later decides to do so anyway, even trying to kill them. On the receiving end of this by the rest of Gematria early through the Final Volume, after she reveals that on top of attempting to control the Chroma she has given the Chroma the location of Kivotos and quite possibly doomed them all, which leaves Beatrice a liability.

22. #22Black Suit

    Keys: BlackSuit, gemetria

Crimes: Abuse of power, Psychological abuse, Torture, Terrorism, Conspiracy Mass property damage by proxy Kidnapping, Illegal experimentation, Corruption, Fraud. Type of Villain: Enigmatic Mastermind.

    Black Suit serves as a member of Gematria, a group of researchers looking into the mysteries of Kivotos. He played the role of the antagonist during Chapters 1 and 2 in 'The Foreclosure Task Force' Main Story Volume, where he abducted Takanashi Hoshino and used her as his guinea pig. Black Suit's primary focus was researching Decagrammaton's exploits, but a setback in their research led to a temporary disbandment of Gematria.

    Unlike typical villains, Black Suit plays by the rules. Though he often exploits the loopholes that exist within contracts he made, he resigns if the contract is invalid. Black Suit remains composed in nearly every situation and admits his mistakes when deemed necessary,

    The name 'Black Suit' originated from Takanashi Hoshino, who met him in the past and called him such. Black Suit was fond of the given name, and has since used it as his own.

    A member of the enigmatic group who call themselves Gematria and an ancient technology historian and archaeologist. He is an adult and, much like Sensei, an outsider to Kivotos. He does not regard the students' livelihood as important. However, does this truly make him a bad adult?

    Despite being a villain, Black Suit plays his role as a villain while still playing by the rules. He abides by the rules and methods that exist in Kivotos and follows the terms and conditions inside the contracts he made, only occasionally exploiting the loopholes that exist within those contracts. In addition to how obedient he is with the rules, he also tends to be composed in almost every situation, only raising his voice once during his first conversation with Sensei. He acts rather calm and even admits his mistakes whenever necessary.

    Black Suit is mysterious and enigmatic, and he values research and pragmatism. He's willing to do anything to satisfy his research, and has been shown to get what he wants through fraudulent contracts.

    He values "contracts", which seem to be literally a force that makes both parties irrevocable contracts, not just contracts on paper. Due to the nature of his ability, the consent of the other party is also indispensable, so he takes advantage of his manipulation and a method close to fraud by piercing the gap between the contents of the contract. Among the things obtained through this contract, Black Suit uses a lot of science and technology as his "main weapons", and although it is not the technology he developed, he also created a defense program that can block even halo destruction bombs.

    Black Suit also seems to be procuring weapons from the outside of Kivotos or the Ruins, and the hypersonic cruise missile that flew into Trinity in Vol. 3 was also brought by him. Also, looking at the Kaiser Corporation's support to the extent of encroaching on Kivotos, it seems that if you join hands with him, you can provide funds and legal rights to run a large-scale private military company branch. It seems that one of his contracts is that he enlists Decagrammaton's Ten Prophets and launches an all-out war against the teacher when he wants.

    Black Suit truly respects Sensei and has honor for him. As an example, he considers them a colleague who will share his will, admits that negotiations with them having broken down, informs them that Hoshino is detained by Kaiser PMC and that they are trying to inject fear into her, When Kivotos was invaded by the Iridencence by Beatrice, he temporarily disbanded Gematria for his comrades' safety and formed a temporary alliance with Sensei, SCHALE, and the academies in Kivotos. Tried to thwart the invasion.

    Black Suit has an eerie appearance, possessing glossy black "skin" with cracks and other deformations. These deformations create what resembles a face, in the form of an opening for a right eye and a mouth. From the cracks, a pale blue glow is emitted. The top of his head emits what appears to be black smoke.

    True to his alias, Black Suit wears a black suit. Paired with his suit is a white dress shirt, a black lounge jacket, a black necktie, black trousers, black shoes, and black gloves.

    A member of Gematria who first appeared in the story. Black Suit is seen collaborating with the Kaiser Corporation to conduct an experiment. Several years before Chalet's teacher arrived, he had been continuously offering to recruit Hoshino Takanashi on the condition of debt relief, but Hoshino, who refused, eventually accepted his offer for the sake of his colleagues as he could not withstand Kaiser's tyranny at the point of the first chapter. Now, he want to take her away, imprison her, and instill fear in her. At this time, if the Kaiser Corporation takes over Abydos High School and creates a private school under the control of the corporation, it would be an interesting enough experiment, and Hoshino despairs.

    However, when Sensei who had been following Hoshino came to visit, Black Suit greeted them politely and responded logically, saying, "She has already written a letter of resignation and came voluntarily, but is it not respecting her to leave her alone?' The letter of resignation has no effect, so unless she, the current advisor teacher, gives permission, she is still a student that I must protect." Sensei takes out the "Credit Card", but rather, Black Suit himself stays silent for a while and desperately persuades Sensei to stop him. According to the black suit, he has to pay the price of life and time in using the Credit Card.

    However, when Sensei eventually refused to give up despite Black Suit's desperate persuasion, he admitted that the negotiations had broken down, and informed them that Hoshino was detained in Kaiser PMC and that they were trying to experiment to inject fear into her. Black Suit left the word that he would keep an eye on Sensei from now on and withdrew.

    Afterwards, Sensei relayed information about Black Suit to the student council, but unlike the wanted Kaiser PMC director, they couldn't find any clues about the man in black suit.

    Volume F: Where All Miracles Begin After the Divi:Sion and Eden Treaty incident, they were puzzled that even the Ark of Atra-Hasis was observed as a result of the arrival of variables that even they could not control at the Gematria meeting again. Then, when he said that the color was coming here by observing Kivotos through Beatrice, he intervened saying that the possibility would be low based on the 'probability theory', but Beatrice spit out the remark that he contacted the color himself and passed over the coordinates of Kivotos. Upon hearing this, even the black suit was taken off the crane, and as the maestro, who had previously gnashed his teeth at Beatrice, expelled Beatrice unanimously, and in a frenzy at this, even receiving the power of color, Beatrice, who became a monster, was easily subdued through the weapon against color with the party. After that, they deal with it, and casually ask to discuss the vacancy later.

    Afterwards, under the assumption that the six energy bodies discovered by the Student Council were colors, Gematria tried to proceed with Parusia, which was their plan, much earlier than expected. but suddenly Shiroko's Bad Future variant appears through a portal in front of the black suit. And even in a sudden situation, he sees in an instant that Anubis's identity is Shiroko's Bad Future variant, and leaves a promise for the future to what extent he even expected this.

    In Chapter 2, he reappears with a cracked face that can't even keep the shape of his face, probably because he was severely beaten by a variant of Shiroko who uses the name of Anubis. It informs that Gematria has been destroyed and delivers basic information to the teacher to deal with the color. Afterwards, he advises the teacher who wants to use the adult card that if he abuses the card, he will face the same end as them.

    Afterwards, after temporarily restoring Maestro's body and sharing the information that Golcomte has transformed into Francis, they declare that they will temporarily disband Gematria for Maestro's safety, as they will only be taken away by the colors no matter what they explore. After that, he summoned the teacher who was looking for a way to stop the invasion of color to the meeting hall of Gematria and confirmed his determination to do anything to return the terrorized sirocco to the teacher. Along with the advice that he could die, he informs us of the existence of the ancient space battleship 'Utnapishtim's Ship' buried in the Abydos desert, which was built to deal with Atrahasis' ark.

    Afterwards, he convinces the teacher that what he is doing now is to challenge the future, which has already been destroyed, and that it would be easier to go back to the past and kill Shiroko. It only reaffirmed the teacher's unbreakable will that it is duty, and in the end, you watch the teacher heading to space asking if he is going to help the student.

    What Make Him Magnificent? He is a mysterious and enigmatic being who is unknown, and he is attractive and interesting as a character who solves the ridiculous in an exciting way. also, his theme is very cool. While he is the de facto leader of the Gematria, he respects the other members of the Gematria, not as subordinates, but as researchers like himself who are on equal footing to explore the mysteries of Kivotos, and in the case of the Maestro, even though he doesn't see eye to eye with him, he seems to appreciate him. As a seeker of Kivotos, he recognizes madness as an enemy to be overcome, and he is wary of falling into madness more than anyone else, and he values pragmatism. Also, the way he runs Gematria is solely for the purpose of exploration and rescue, and he doesn't like to cling to power like Beatrice or have ambitions to become a god of the new world. He studied the technology of Decagrammaton, making the prophets of Decagrammaton into their own puppet, using the technology of the unknown priests to create supersonic cruise missiles, Halo protection masks and healing drones. He enclosed the prophets of Decagrammaton and led them to terrorism toward Kivotos, and used the techniques of the unknown priests obtained through the contract to create supersonic cruise missiles, Halo protective masks and healing drones. He has no original combat power, but with a number of science and technology as a weapon, he has been a big threat in Kivotos without combat skills. Sensei thinks of him as an enemy, but he thinks Sensei is a true friend and that he will do with him. Therefore, he genuinely care in Sensei. Although he is aiming for some research purposes of Kivotos, he does not like him because of his psychological abuse from Hoshino Takanashi, but he acknowledged his defeat in front of Sensei and informed Hoshino's kidnapping, and Sensei is an adult's adult When he tried to use the card, he advised that using an adult card reduced the life of Sensei. After Gematria was destroyed by Anubis (Bad Future Shiroko), and all of their research was robbed by Color, he informed Sensei about Color, and warned Sensei that if he abused his adult card, he would meet the same tragic end as they did. Also, he does not really want Sensei to die. Sensei, who was looking for a way to stop the invasion of color, was called to the head of Gematria and confirmed that he could do anything to reverse the terrorized Shiroko to Sensei. Along with the advice, it tells the existence of the ancient space battleships buried in the Avidos desert, which was created to deal with the ark of Atra Hash. This shows that he is really worried about Sensei. After stopping the invasion of color, he sent a greeting card at S.C.H.A.L.E's one-year anniversary party. His manipulation of the Kaiser Corporation PMC director to conduct the experiments on the students of Abydos, and his support of Kaiser Corporation to the point of controlling Kivotos, gives him the funding and legal right to roll a massive PMC if he works with them. He also shows that he is very intelligent by preparing a way out in case the operation fails, by blaming the Kaiser PMC director for all the crimes he committed within Abydos. He once succeeded in manipulating Hoshino Takanashi, the Vice President of the Student Council and now the Vice President of the Foreclosure Task Force, into a fraudulent deal with her. He is basically a cheater because he shows his benefits through a fraudulent contract, but at the same time, he has an honorable side. As an example, he confronts the Terrorization of Sensei and Hoshino, but when Sensei has eventually broken down when his desperate persuasion is not bent, Hoshino is detained in Kaiser PMC and they are injected against Hoshino. After telling him that he was trying to do an experiment, Gematria left the saying that he would watch the teacher in the future, and he showed his honor to recognize his defeat. When Beatrice pointed out that he failed to achieve his purpose in Avidos' meetings, he talked about Sensei, the cause of failure. Turning Sensei as an enemy has a very large risk, so he must be greeted as a colleague, and he doesn't like to kill Sensei because he thinks Sensei is a friend. And he is wary of Beatrice's radicals, but because Beatrice is basically a member of Gematria, he respects her way formally, but after that is due to Beatrice, He does not like her radical. With Maestro and Golconde & Decalcomanie, he prepared for the betrayal of Beatrice in advance, and when he found out that Beatrice would call the color to Kivotos and slaughter all the creatures in Kivotos, he calmed down the actions of Beatrice. He felt disgusted and deported from Gematria and at the same time executed Beatrice using the Color counterpart weapon. In order to prepare for the color, he tried to prepare for the attack of the color by trying to proceed with the parousia, which was their plan, much earlier than expected. After temporarily repairing the Maestro's body after it was attacked by Anubis and sharing the information that Golcante has been transformed into Francis, he declares that whatever they explore now will only be taken away by the Colors, and that he is temporarily disbanding Gematria for the Maestro's safety. This suggests that he genuinely cares about his fellow members of the Gematria, with the exception of Beatrice. He gave information about Utnapishtim's ship at no cost from Sensei, which played a huge role in helping Sensei and the students save Kivotos from the colors, which made him an On & Off Anti-Hero even though he had sociopathy. make it with Moreover, if you consider that he is a master, pragmatism and a contract-oriented personality, this proves that he truly did Heroic Deed out of concern for Sensei, not pragmatism. Ultimately, he is karma Houdini as he survives unaccounted for all the crimes he has committed by the On & Off Anti-Hero.

    He used Decagrammaton's robots, BINAH, CHESED, and HOD, to lead numerous destruction and terrorism in Kivotos. He manipulated the Kaiser Corporation into a fraudulent contract with Hoshino, offering to pay off Abydos High's debt. He also tried to ruin Abydos High School for his experiments. He kidnapped Hoshino and tried to commit an experiment to inject Terror into Hoshino, and if the Kaiser Corporation took over Abydos High School, which is no different than Hoshino's precious home, and a private school under the control of a private company would be interesting enough. He said that it was not an experiment and inflicted psychological abuse on Hoshino. Besides, Black Suit has only admitted that he was defeated by Sensei, and still has no regrets about the psychological abuse and cruel experiments he subjected Hoshino to. This proves that he is a ruthless sociopath. He provided Beatrice with the defense program used by the nameless priests, which means he was somewhat complicit in her crimes. However, this is an evaluation that the black suit did not cooperate because they liked Beatrice's crime, but only pragmatism, and they do not have the right to do what they do with her means, so do whatever you want, but that method will obviously interfere with Sensei. While doing so, he revealed that he would no longer cooperate with Beatrice's crimes.

    He allied himself with the Kaiser Corporation to run experiments towards Abydos High School for his own amusement. He instigated Kaiser PMC Director oppressing Abydos High School behind the scenes to experiment with instilling fear into Hoshino. He had been trying to recruit Hoshino for years before Sensei came to Abydos, offering to forgive Abydos's debts in exchange for an experiment to inject Terror into Hoshino, and his behind-the-scenes maneuvering led the Kaiser PMC director to drive Abydos's debts even higher, forcing Hoshino to sign with him directly. He locked Hoshino in a lab and sadistically asked her if it wouldn't be an interesting enough experiment if the Abydos School was taken over by the Kaiser Corporation and made into a private school under private control. He justifies his actions with the logic that those with more power exploit those without, and those with more knowledge exploit those without. When his experiment ended in failure, he got away with it because he blamed the Kaiser PMC director for all the crimes he had committed within Abydos. He provided Beatrice with the Defense Program of the Nameless Priests, indirectly aiding Beatrice in her crimes. Despite the Blue Archive's high standards, the experiments the Black Suit is about to perpetrate on Hoshino are so unique and brutal that he meets the standards for heinous enough. Also, he only admitted to being defeated by Sensei, but still has no regrets about the psychological torture and cruel experiments he subjected to on Hoshino.

    What Make Him Inconsistent? He is on & off with a few anti-heroic roles. He shows that he is willing to perform many heroic acts for Sensei, whom he considers his friend. Furthermore, although he is contract-oriented and pragmatic, he gave Sensei information about the Boat of Utnapishtim during the invasion of The Colors, including Iridescent, without receiving anything in return, and without his information, Kivotos would have been destroyed by Bad Future Shiroko. He genuinely cares for and respects Sensei. He encouraged Sensei to join Gematria, and when his plan was thwarted by Sensei, he showed the honor of admitting defeat and freeing Hoshino. He also insisted to Beatrice that turning Sensei into an enemy was too risky and that she should welcome him as an ally, and he sought Sensei out during the Iridescent invasion and genuinely advised him that Gematria was gone and that if he played the grown up card too much, he would meet the same tragedy as they had. He has genuine respect for the other members of Gematria except for Beatrice. First of all, Gematria is not a group that seeks world domination, but rather a group of researchers who have come together for their own research purposes, so there is no leader; he only acts as a mediator and sees the other members, except for Beatrice, as researchers on an equal footing with him. He is also wary of Beatrice because she does not fit in with Gematria's ideology and wants to kill Sensei unconditionally, and he wants to use the artistic values they have created simply as a terrorism and war tool. He has some standards, He's very wary of abandoning his position as a researcher and descending into madness, and expresses disgust at Beatrice's plan to wipe out the entire human population of Kivotos by calling in chroma just for the petty reason of losing to Sensei.

    Affably Evil: He's very polite and courteous towards Sensei when they finally meet in person, even after he starts losing his patience as he tries and fails to understand why Sensei keeps on insisting on Hoshino's return despite it not being his problem whatsoever. When he finally realizes he can't sway Sensei into giving up, he relents and freely gives away Hoshino's location, allowing Sensei to leave without complaint. An Offer You Can't Refuse: While an actual gun is never used as a threat during their meeting, Black Suit has a metaphorical gun to the Task Force's heads when making his offer to Hoshino: since Abydos owes their debt to the Kaiser Corporation and Black Suit is an associate of theirs, he can easily convince the Kaiser Director to simply inflate Abydos' debt over and over again until they drown in it and have no choice but to default on the loan, forcing Hoshino to sign herself away to save her school or watch it go under anyway. Appropriated Appellation: Hoshino calls him "Black Suit" in part due to his enigmatic nature and his offers, and he "grows fond" of the epithet to let Sensei use it as his name. Cut Lex Luthor a Check: He admits that his plots to recover the technology of the Nameless Priests are mostly so that he can sell it off the black market for huge profits. Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Black Suit can't understand why Sensei handed over control of the Sanctum Tower to the General Student Council, as opposed to seizing it, and with it control of Kivotos and all of its Mystics, for themselves. He also refutes Sensei's assertion that an adult takes responsibility for others, calling them ignorant and insisting that being an adult is about being in charge of and controlling those others instead. Black Suit: "Adults rule the aimless with authority, the ignorant with knowledge, and the weak with power. That is what it means to be an adult." For Science!: He reacts with distaste when Hoshino assumes that she's going to be made to work for Kaiser PMC in exchange for Black Suit clearing away Abydos' debt, assuring her that he would never waste "the most promising Mystic in Kivotos" on such menial labor. He instead explains that he wants to understand how Hoshino and her Mystics work... by any means necessary. Black Suit: "My objective is to study, analyze and understand Takanashi Hoshino. You, in other words, are our guinea pig." Friendly Enemy: Toward Sensei. Black Suit genuinely respects (and even seems to like) him, is unfailingly polite toward him in their interactions, and ideally would very much like to not be his enemy. Mad Scientist: Though he never gets the chance to do any proper experiments on her, it's Black Suit's self-proclaimed mission to study Hoshino and her Mystics, while his willingness to support Kaiser's efforts to annex Abydos and what he does to Hoshino once he finally gets his hands on her more than covers the 'Mad' part of this trope. The Man Behind the Man: He's this for the Kaiser PMC Director, supporting his efforts to annex Abydos to eventually get his hands on Hoshino, in an effort to study her and her Mystics. Person with the Clothing: Black Suit does, indeed, wear a black three-piece suit at all times. The Rival: According to Beatrice, he considers himself this to Sensei, believing that the two of them will better each other through opposing one another even if Black Suit considers Sensei a comrade. This is why, in Volume F, he goes to Sensei to tell him how to reach the Ark: because he believes that he, if anyone, has a chance against the Chroma. Suddenly Shouting: Devolves into this as he struggles to understand why Sensei won't just give up on getting Hoshino back. We Can Rule Together: He makes an effort to try and recruit Sensei to his cause, insisting that neither he nor his faction wants to oppose Sensei. Though Sensei turns him down, Beatrice comments in Chapter 4 of the Trinity Arc that Black Suit still considers Sensei a comrade, believing that they can better each other. Your Head A-Splode: Black Suit didn't get away from Anubis' attack unscathed, as during his subsequent encounter with Sensei, you can see that practically half of his head has been blown off, leaving an open wound that burns with white flame

    Keys: Story of TFTF, Foreclosure Story,

    It was a beautiful day in Kivotos. Schale was just opened recently and news about Sensei had begun spreading slowly. At that time, Sensei was minding their own business until Arona notified them about a letter they just received. Arona then began summarizing it. It was a letter from a student named Okusora Ayane on behalf of Abydos High School who was requesting aid in the form of supplies and ammunition. "What? Students in need of help? Of course I will help!" was basically Sensei's reaction to that information. They then walked towards Abydos as quick as they understood the letter....Perhaps walking wasn't the greatest idea, especially considering the stuff Sensei's bringing. To make matters worse, Sensei was lost and had no way of telling where they were or where Abydos was located. As Sensei fell to the ground slowly losing consciousness, a student arrived with her bike and decided to help them. She introduced herself as Sunaookami Shiroko, a student of Abydos who just happened to be heading to school. She also gave Sensei her leftover energy drink and a piggyback ride to Abydos. As they arrived however, the students present mistook Sensei as a dead body. Oddly enough, they were more than ready to hide the body. As Shiroko dropped Sensei from her back, they introduced themselves as the Sensei of Schale. The students were shocked. Their request for aid was accepted! One of the students decided to wake up one of their friends and brought her into the meeting room. Of course, introductions were necessary. As they were about to introduce themselves though, they got interrupted by gunfire. It seems that the local gangsters, colloquially known as the Helmet Gang, were harassing the school again. Unfortunately for them, they didn't know that Abydos had Sensei by their side. The gangsters were easily defeated and forced to retreat. Back to where they were, it was time to introduce themselves. They are the Foreclosure Task Force, consisting of Ayane and Serika as the first-years, Nonomi and Shiroko as the second-years, and Hoshino as their lone third-year. Thanks to Sensei, they were able to fend off the gangsters. This gave Hoshino an idea. What if they went on the offensive for once? This was a brilliant idea considering how vulnerable the gangsters must be after the fight. It was time for them to head out and stop these gangsters for good. With Sensei's help, the gangsters now pose no problem for the FTC, allowing the girls to focus on more important matters. Serika's mouth accidentally slipped and mentioned about the school debt. Although the debt was no secret, Serika still felt the need to keep it a secret due to still not trusting Sensei, causing her to get angry when the others decided to involve Sensei with their matters and ran away. Hoshino and Ayane then explained about their concurrent 900 million yen and continuously increasing debt which was caused due to the school's heavy sandstorms and incompetent student council members. Of course, it was only natural for Sensei to want to help despite not knowing how. They're the new member of the Foreclosure Task Force after all. The next day, Sensei met Serika as they were heading to Abydos. She was still very untrusting towards Sensei and decided to head to where she originally headed to. Sensei proceeded by stalking her until they reached Shiba Seki, a ramen shop. They decided to bring in the rest of the FTC members. Here's where they found out about Serika's part-time job. The whole gang decided to eat there, heavily embarrassing Serika. Without any notice, Hoshino said that Sensei would be paying. With no choice, Sensei paid for the meal. A whole day of work has finished. Exhausted and still mad about the previous incident, Serika decided to head home. The others had already went home before her, leaving her alone at night. Serika then noticed how vacant the way home slowly became day by day. As she continued, a bunch of gangsters began attacking her. At first, Serika thought of this as a way to vent off steam, but she was outnumbered and outpowered. The gangsters overpowered her and rendered her unconscious, giving them the chance to kidnap her. A few hours later, Ayane noticed Serika's disappearance. The whole club became worried. Hoshino and Sensei went out to try and log in to the General Student Council's central communication network. Apparently, they did it without permission, so if they were to be found out, they'd be in big trouble. But it's all for Serika's sake. Putting that aside, they were able to locate where Serika was. With no time to waste, they headed out to rescue Serika. After regaining her consciousness, Serika noticed that she was in the middle of a wasteland. Feeling worried, she thought that this is where her road ends. The others might've thought that she betrayed them. As she began contemplating, an explosion happened, releasing her from where she was trapped in. The club members are here! And they noticed the currently crying Serika. The now flustered Serika also noticed Sensei and asked why they're here too. With the rescued Serika in their hands, now they just need to clear off the remaining gangsters. After returning back home safely, Ayane did some digging on the tank parts they collected during battle. Apparently, the parts were from an illegal model that has been prohibited within Kivotos. With this in mind, they now know that there's definitely something else going on behind the scenes. As they continued their digging, something else is going on in the darkness. As the gangsters were defeated, their boss can only do so much with them. He decided to hire some skilled professionals to do the job. Soon after, Serika woke up after resting due to her injuries. The first person to visit her was Sensei. Serika was thankful for their help, but she couldn't exactly convey her thanks due to her embarrassment.

    The next day, the FTC began their regularly scheduled meeting to share ideas on how to deal with their debt, this time with Sensei in attendance. For some reason, the other members had very peculiar ideas to share. Serika fell for a pyramid scheme, Shiroko proposed that they rob a bank, Hoshino wanted to kidnap students from other schools to make them join Abydos, and Nonomi wanted to become pop idols. With such absurd ideas, Ayane went insane and flipped the table. To calm Ayane down, the FTC decided to take her to the ramen shop where Serika works at. While they were eating, a girl named Haruka entered the shop and asked Serika if there's any food in the menu that costs less than 600 yen. Serika told them about the regular Shiba Seki ramen which costs 580 yen. Hearing this, the girl invited her friends in. Apparently, the four of them wanted to share one bowl of ramen together. Feeling bad for them, Serika asked her boss if there's anything he can do for them. The boss then prepared one giant bowl of ramen for the same price just for them. The girls were more than grateful. Shiroko then noticed that the girls' uniforms were from Gehenna. After the Gehenna girls parted ways with the Abydos girls, Mutsuki, one of the girls, told Aru, the girl who was seemingly their boss, that those Abydos girls were from Abydos, the same school that they were paid to eliminate. Shocked by this reality check, Aru was rendered speechless. She felt like she was already close friends with those Abydos girls, but unfortunately, business is business. Aru then hired part-time students to attack Abydos. Unfortunately for them as well, Sensei was there leading Abydos, guaranteeing their victory. Aru's group was forced to retreat. The next day, Sensei encountered Ayane who was heading somewhere. She mentioned that there's a interest payment on the school's debt due today. As they were talking though, one of the previous attackers interrupted them. It was Mutsuki. For some reason, she was acting as if nothing happened yesterday between her group and Abydos. Of course, Ayane was infuriated, especially after what happened yesterday. After Mutsuki left, Ayane and Sensei returned back to Abydos. Moments later, a teller arrived to pick up the payment of Abydos' loan. As the teller left on a truck, the girls began wondering why those people only accepted cash and always bothered to pay for trucks as it seemed unnecessary. Afterwards, Ayane decided to tell the rest of the FTC about what she had discovered so far. The ones who attacked them were Problem Solver 68, a notorious group of delinquents who claimed to be a fixer agency. Eventually, they linked PS68 with the Black Market. With this as their current and only lead, they decided to head out to the Black Market in hopes of finding whoever is behind Abydos' harassment. As they arrived at the Black Market, the FTC saw a student being chased by thugs. The student ended up crashing into the FTC. The FTC noticed that the student belonged to Trinity judging by her uniform. Since she's from Trinity, the thugs thought the student would make for a nice ransom and decided to attack the FTC as well. Of course with Sensei there, the thugs were easily defeated. The girl thanked the FTC for saving her and introduced herself as Ajitani Hifumi. She said that she's in the Black Market to look for a discontinued piece of Peroro merchandise. The merchandise in question is a small chicken-looking plushie with an ice-cream shoved onto its mouth. Although peculiar-looking, only 100 of them were made, and she had to get her hands on one. The FTC then stated their purpose in the Black Market in return. In the middle of their conversation, more thugs began appearing. They need to act fast, but they don't wanna stir up too much trouble, so they chose to retreat. As they retreated, they found the Stygian Bank. As they looked closer, they noticed a familiar truck carrying loads of cash. They found out that it was the same truck the teller used to carry the cash the FTC paid for their debt. To think the money they worked hard for is being used to fund criminal activities. They need to stop it, and there's only one thing they could do. They must rob the Stygian Bank. Shiroko was excited while Hifumi was confused. Of course, they can't leave behind Hifumi, so Nonomi made a makeshift mask using a paper bag. As everyone prepared themselves, it was robbing time. Meanwhile, Aru was busy trying to get a loan inside the Stygian bank. Unfortunately, due to how bad Aru's business has been doing, the bank examiner couldn't accept her loan application, leading her to an emotional distress inside her head. All of a sudden, the lights went out, leading the employees to a panic as guns started firing. When the lights went back on, five robbers made their appearance, introducing themselves as the Masked Mizugi Gang. Despite the ability to grab as much money as they could, they only wanted the transport logs for the truck which had their debt money. As the employee gave Shiroko the logs, he also gave them a bag full of cash. Shiroko decided to bring it with her, and the gang made their escape. Meanwhile, Aru stood at the side, completely amazed by how the robbers managed to pull it off, not knowing those robbers are the Abydos girls. As the Masked Mizugi Gang went far enough from trouble, the others noticed the money bag. It's filled with at least 100 million yen. This would've helped reduce their burden by a lot, but Hoshino decided that it'd be best they leave the money alone. Before they headed back though, Aru managed to catch up to them and wanted to say how huge of an impression they left Aru with and how she now looks up to them and wants to be like them, still oblivious to who they are. As the Masked Mizugi Gang bid their farewell, they accidentally left the money bag, but they thought it'd be better that way as the bag would definitely go to someone who needs it. When PS68 noticed the bag, they decided to take it with them. As PS68 reached their office, Mutsuki decided to burst Aru's bubble and told her the truth about the Masked Mizuki Gang. Aru was devastated, as if she found out "Santa Claus isn't real."

    Back at the Abydos building, the FTC, including Hifumi, held a meeting regarding the transport logs Shiroko brought. They discovered that the Helmet Gang were working under Kaiser Loans' orders. With this in mind, they knew that this isn't just simply a bank scheme. Hifumi decided to part ways with the FTC after the meeting was over. Meanwhile, PS68 weren't doing so well, especially Aru, who spent the night thinking about their next move. Kayoko suggested they just return back to Gehenna, but Aru didn't want that, especially when the Prefect Team exists. Kayoko knew about this and was already thinking far ahead. She knew that the Prefect Team is basically nothing without Sorasaki Hina, their head prefect. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to calm Aru down, so they decided to go for some ramen. A few moments later, Sensei noticed Hoshino sleeping on Nonomi's lap. Nonomi wanted to give Sensei a try as well, but Hoshino called dibs. As Hoshino left, Nonomi talked a bit about Hoshino's past, how she wasn't always this laid-back and lazy, how she was quite strict and violent towards others, although she doesn't know much about it. While they talked about that, Hoshino went someplace quite distant from the school. There, she met quite a peculiar-looking person, and it seems he has a trade offer. Though Hoshino wanted to decline, the person had something else in mind. Back to PS68, as they arrived at the Shiba Seki Ramen shop, they were welcomed by the owner as they headed to their seats. As the others were waiting for their food however, something snapped inside Aru's mind. It seems she's found out the reason why she can't become an outlaw. "It's this shop! We're supposed to be working hard like outlaws! Not being in a cushy and warm place where they feed you when you get hungry and treat you nicely!" As Aru finished exclaiming her complaints, Haruka thought it was her time to shine, her time to be of assistance to Aru. As Kayoko tried to stop her, Haruka activated the detonator. The building was leveled, leaving the other members surprised while alerting the Abydos students. Though they can't seem to find Hoshino for some reason. As the rest of the Abydos students headed towards the location, they found PS68 who was responsible for the explosion. The Abydos students were especially angry considering how well they've been treating PS68. Thankfully, the ramen shop owner was safe. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like PS68 will be safe from the FTC's wrath. While the two sides were fighting however, they were suddenly bombarded by mortal shells. It seems like the mortar shells originated from the Prefect Team. Although the Prefect Team was aiming for PS68, they don't seem that docile towards the Abydos students either. And it seems the Abydos students weren't so happy about the Prefect Team acting out operations in their academy area without their permission. Not too long after though, Chinatsu, one of the Prefect Team members, noticed Sensei being on Abydos's side. Realizing this, she knew this battle is a no-go, but the battle was inevitable, and all she could do was fight. Unfortunately, Chinatsu was right. They were fighting a losing battle from the beginning. As the Prefect Team was defeated, Ayane confronted the two Prefect Team members before being interrupted by Ako, who decided to answer Ayane's question on behalf of the Prefect Team. Meanwhile, Haruka had some ideas of her own.

    As Haruka sneaked away from the area, Sensei locked eyes with her but decided to pretend they saw nothing. As for Ako, she decided to introduce herself as the Senior Administrator. Although she seemed nice, the Abydos students had a bad feeling about the current situation. Oddly enough, Ako seemed to blame Iori for her reckless actions inside another academy's district despite Iori saying she's only following orders. Ako continued to explain how the Prefect Team's only there to subdue certain individuals as part of the team's duties, but Ayane didn't agree in letting them be the on to take PS68 into custody since they're in Abydos's area, making the Abydos students the one who's responsible. Hearing Ayane's complaints about Gehenna's power abuse, Ako asked for Sensei's opinion on the matter. For Sensei, PS68 might be stupid, but they're not that stupid. Seeing the Abydos students disagreeing to hand PS68 over, Ako had no choice but to use brute force. As she said this however, some of the Prefect Team units were ambushed by Haruka, including Iori. Taken by surprise, Ako was then confronted by Kayoko telling her to cease her lies. Kayoko saw through Ako's facade. She knew that this whole operation was not the Head Prefect's style but rather a unilateral decision made by Ako. She even figured out that Ako never intended on taking PS68 into custody, but rather she wanted Sensei instead. Ako forgot that Kayoko was part of PS68, and since Kayoko saw through her lies, she had no choice but to bring out all her troops. It was the inevitable choice anyway since she's dealing with Schale, though she didn't actually intend for things to escalate. Seeing the overwhelming numbers, the Abydos students had no choice but to fight to protect Sensei. As the battle was about to begin however, it seems that PS68 wished for a temporary alliance with the Abydos students against the Prefect Team. And who wouldn't want some extra helping hands in a critical situation like this? Little by little, the Prefect Team troops were defeated, hurting Ako's confidence slightly, but she knew of Sensei's weakness and decided to bring out more infantry. She knew she had to be more careful as this would be uncharted territory and that if the Head Prefect were to find her, she'd be in trouble. Unfortunately for Ako, karma hit faster than the escalation of the situation as that's exactly what happened. Hina, the Head Prefect, made her appearance through a call asking what Ako was doing. Shocked by her appearance, Ako tried her best to lie about what she's doing. Unfortunately, Hina saw through her lies. And to add salt to the wound, Hina appeared to be in Abydos, the same place where the Prefect Team was carrying out the operation. As Ako tried to explain the situation, she noticed PS68 disappeared. Unable to explain the situation, Hina told Ako to cut all communications and reflect on her actions back in the Prefect Team club room. With the situation calmed down a bit, the Abydos students thought they had to fight Hina, but Ayane decided they made a negotiation first. Hina first mentioned the fact that the Prefect Team unauthorizedly deployed troops in another district and apologized for that matter, but she then brought up the fact that the Abydos students interfered with Prefect Team business. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ayane wished Hoshino was there with the. Hearing the name Hoshino, Hina got curious. All of a sudden, Hoshino appeared. Seeing her, Hina got slightly nervous. Hina knew that Hoshino was no small problem, especially when knowing her after a certain incident happened. Hina then instructed the Prefect Team to retreat and formally apologized to the Abydos students, even going so far to bow down as a form of apology. Seeing her response, Iori asked about what they'll do with PS68, but Hina glared deathly at her. As quick as the Prefect Team appeared, the Prefect Team left after hearing Hina's orders. Before Hina left however, she had something to say to Sensei. It seems that Kaiser Corporation was planning something in the deserts of Abydos. She thought she needed to tell Sensei about it as she's not planning in informing Abydos. After that, Hina parted ways with Sensei. For PS68, things didn't seem too good for them as they had to move from their office. As they were packing up their stuff, Sensei made a surprise visit. Aru was scared since Sensei was on Abydos's side, but Sensei had no malicious intent as mentioned by Mutsuki. Despite trying her best to not embarrass herself, Sensei bid them farewell very nicely. Meanwhile, the Abydos students went to check in on the ramen shop owner. Thankfully, he's already recovered since "it was simply a scratch", said the owner. The students were concerned about his shop, but he said he's fine as he planned on closing the shop anyway due to already receiving an eviction notice. Hearing this, Ayane needed to make sure of something, so she told Sensei and Serika to head back to school first. When Sensei arrived at the main gate, they found Nonomi who came in early. She wanted to do some cleaning cause she couldn't just sit still. She then reminisced a bit about Sensei's arrival and all the events that had happened ever since. A bunch of problems were solved, yet new ones arose. As she talked for a bit longer, Shiroko arrived. She asked where Hoshino was and Nonomi replied with saying that Hoshino's somewhere inside the building. As Shiroko headed inside, both Nonomi and Sensei knew something was off with Shiroko, so they headed inside to figure it out. When they entered the building, they heard some noises and went to investigate. When they entered the room they heard the noise in, they saw Shiroko fighting against Hoshino. Nonomi then stopped Shiroko and told her to explain what's going on, but Shiroko refused, saying that this was between her and Hoshino only. Nonomi didn't take no as an answer though. As Shiroko was about to explain however, Hoshino diverted the topic and brought up the meeting they were supposed to have soon and left. When all the members were present, Ayane and Serika could feel the tension inside the meeting room, but the meeting proceeded anyway due to how urgent it was. Ayane then showed a property map of the school district. To their surprise, the majority of the district was currently owned by Kaiser Corporation, including the Shiba Seki Ramen Shop. The only areas not owned by Kaiser were the main building and parts of the areas surrounding it. Hearing this, Hoshino had a suspicion that the Abydos Student Council was responsible for this as only they had voting rights on the school assets. Looking back, Hoshino used to be part of the Student Council, but all her upperclassmen had resigned when she joined, leaving the new Student Council president and her, the vice president. Hoshino felt like a total idiot back then, but Shiroko encouraged her by stating how it was thanks to her that the Foreclosure Task Force was established, which actually ended up embarrassing her. Now that Hoshino thought about it, maybe the Student Council did work hard to pay off Abydos's debt. Unfortunately, they had to kept selling land at such low prices and were not able to keep up with the increasing interest, resulting in the district slowly becoming Kaiser property.

    Seeing how much Kaiser was involved, Sensei decided to inform the Abydos students about what Hina said to them previously. According to Hina, Kaiser's planning something in Abydos's deserts. Hearing this, Serika thought of a brilliant plan, which is to just see for themselves what Kaiser's doing. Everyone supported the idea, and so they made preparations to head out to the Abydos Desert. Before they headed out, Shiroko had something to say to Sensei. Shiroko then handed Sensei something she found in Hoshino's bag. It was Hoshino's resignation letter. Although Sensei was curious about the letter, they wondered why Shiroko was looking through Hoshino's bag. Shiroko knew it was wrong, but she had to do it due to her suspicions. Sensei told her to keep it a secret for now as they have more important matters at hand. After a while, Sensei and the FTC arrived at the Abydos Desert by train while Ayane supported from the school building, but they could only get so far in with just the train. As they proceeded to walk through the desert, Ayane warned them about nearby dangers and told them to keep their guard up. Something still felt off for Hoshino though. Why would the Gehenna Prefect Team know so much about things surrounding the Abydos District that the Abydos students themselves were not aware of? The Head Prefect was incredible at collecting info, so she's bound to know something they didn't. Further down the desert, Hoshino felt familiar with the area. She used to go there for Student Council work. There used to even be an oasis nearby where the Abydos Desert Festival would usually be held, one so big it's bigger than most lakes and so deep you can go boating there. Well, before it dried up of course. The festival was so big that other schools would often visit. To think that decades had passed was unbelievable, but it's time to focus on the present. They still need to cover quite the distance to reach the sector Hina informed them about. After some more walking, Ayane picked up something massive. A huge town? A factory? A garrison? Whatever it is, it is huge. As they arrived at the location, they were suddenly greeted with gunfire. Not being able to avoid an encounter, they were forced to plow through the guards. The guards were not that strong, but they're definitely annoying. After a bit of looking, they found out that the location belongs to Kaiser PMC, another subsidiary of Kaiser Corporation. Suddenly, alarms began ringing. Tanks, armored vehicles, and even helicopters began appearing. They needed to escape as this was too much for them to handle all by themselves. Unfortunately, they were unable to escape due to the sheer amount of troops surrounding them. Ayane tried to warn them that someone's coming for them, but her connection was unstable. Soon enough, the person made their appearance. It was the Kaiser PMC Director, and he was not happy about the students barging in. It seemed like Hoshino and the Director knew each other. Since the other Abydos students were clueless, the Director introduced himself first as Abydos's creditor. Meanwhile, back in Gehenna, Ako was tasked to write 1000 pages worth of apology letters. Ako only used it as an expression, but she didn't expect Hina to actually tell her to write 1000 pages. Unfortunate for Ako. As she continued, she asked Hina about Hoshino as it seemed that Hina knew Hoshino pretty well. Although it was Hina's first time meeting Hoshino in person, she knew of her very well. Hoshino used to be super intelligent yet much more belligerent and violent, even considered a threat to Gehenna by Gehenna's Intelligence Committee. Had Ako and the Prefect Team fought Hoshino as she was then, Gehenna would've suffered great losses, especially with Schale there. Back to the Abydos students' current situation, they were accusing him for hiring the Helmet Gang and PS68 to take them down, but the Director claimed their accusations were simply spurious allegations and brought up the fact they broke into his property, attacked innocent employees, and destroyed facilities all to end up blaming him. He found this quite amusing, and since he was in a good mood, he decided to tell the students what Kaiser's doing in the Abydos Desert.

    The Director explained how they were looking for some sort of treasure hidden somewhere beneath the Abydos Desert. "A treasure? That's impossible! Why would Kaiser prepare such massive amounts of troops for some treasure? Surely they're going to be used to take down Abydos." But the Director was telling the truth. Why would he waste such huge amounts of troops, vehicles, ammunition, and more just for five students? In fact, something much smaller was enough to deal with Abydos. All he needed was one phone call, and boom! Abydos's credit score was set to the minimum rating, increasing the variable interest rate by such a tremendous amount. Now they have to pay 90 million yen a month. Wait, there's more?!? The Director suddenly required them to deposit 300 million yen to Kaiser Loans by the week. There's no way the Abydos students would be able to pay it off, and the Director knew that, so he suggested that they just drop out and leave since the debt was never theirs to begin with. The Abydos students didn't want that, but Hoshino suggested that it'd be better that they just leave the area instead of futilely arguing with him. Back at Abydos, Hoshino had a short flashback to the past while the others were thinking about what they could do. They knew they had to do something. Shiroko suggested they finally go for drastic measures, but Hoshino denied the idea. Instead, she requested them to take a rest and think for a solution tomorrow. President's orders! One by one, the students left for home but Shiroko and Hoshino. Apparently, Sensei was still there too. Shiroko wanted to talk to Hoshino about something, but Hoshino felt super tired. So Shiroko left, signaling Sensei to talk about they-know-what through eye-contact. Hoshino was confused, so Sensei showed her her resignation letter. Knowing she couldn't hide anything anymore, Hoshino had no choice but to explain it, but she requested that she does so while taking a walk with Sensei, which they accepted. As they walked around the school, they noticed how dirty it was. Although Hoshino's memory was not what it used to be, looking back, the school was just a mess where nothing ever worked out and her upperclassmen were long gone. But then again, had she not joined the school, she wouldn't have met the other Abydos students. It was time for Hoshino to come close. She mentioned how she's been receiving offers from weird people for the past two years. Even recently, she received an offer that will instantly forgive half of Abydos's debt if she agreed to join the corporation this person's offering. She knew that if she accepted the offer, Abydos would fall for good, so she declined. The person's name was Black Suit. Though as suspicious as he looked, he didn't cause any trouble. About the resignation letter however, couldn't say Hoshino hadn't had any doubts. Hoshino knew she had to tell the other girls at some point, but she didn't want to bring up the past, especially since it wouldn't help them any good. She had no choice but to tell them the next morning. Before Hoshino and Sensei parted ways, Sensei told her something...The next morning, Ayane arrived at the school earlier than the others. As she arrived she noticed something. It was Hoshino's resignation letter, an academy dropout notice, and another letter. The letter mentioned about the offer Hoshino received, how half of Abydos's debt would be cleared if Hoshino dropped out, and Hoshino's final wishes, that Sensei would take care of Shiroko for her, and if they ever encounter each other again, they need not hesitate to destroy her halo. Seeing the message Hoshino left, the whole group was devastated. How could Hoshino just leave them like that? Well, rescuing Hoshino's more important. As they were planning how to however, gunshots were heard from a nearby area. Kaiser PMC was attacking the citizens nearby. With Hoshino dropped out, the Abydos Student Council, and the school itself, is no more. It didn't even take that long for the PMC to find them, so they needed to leave fast and prioritize evacuating Sensei. After going through numerous PMC soldiers, they reached the Director's location. The Abydos students claimed how the school building area was still Abydos property, and by Kaiser invading and destroying property, they're breaking the law which wouldn't be overlooked by the General Student Council. The Director found this funny as the GSC never helped them ever, and since Hoshino had dropped out, the Abydos Student Council was gone, reduced to atoms, consequently meaning that Abydos had been deemed unsustainable as an academy town, allowing Kaiser to assume control over the academy, being the district's owner. As this was ongoing, Hoshino was angered by Kaiser attacking Abydos. She thought the promise was that Abydos would be left alone if she dropped out, but that was not what's written on the contract. Black Suit followed the contract's agreement, which only said that Abydos's debt would be settled. In fact, he never promised Hoshino a lifelong contract with Kaiser PMC, oh no. He had something else in mind. He wanted to instead study and analyze Hoshino. Seeing where Hoshino ended up, she knew she messed up. And now, there's nothing she could do. Things were looking glum for Abydos. Their determination might be high, but their strength wasn't. And even if they won, what should they do? What COULD they do, Ayane asked. The reality check caused their morale to plummet, and they didn't know what to do. As they were thinking of giving up however, explosions were heard nearby. The soldiers were being attacked by a familiar group of people.

    It was PS68! Abydos's current situation played with her heartstrings as it's similar to what Aru had experienced. Of course Aru wanted to help! Haruka and Mutsuki were also willing to help. Kayoko however joined only cause it's her group, but extra help is extra help. With the conjoined forces of the FTC and PS68, alongside Sensei's command, Kaiser PMC was defeated, causing them to temporarily retreat. As the girls returned, Sensei had other business to attend, involving a certain mysterious man. As Sensei arrived at a building somewhere in Kivotos, Black Suit greeted them oddly nicely. In fact, he had been waiting for their arrival. Black Suit knew a lot about Sensei and their arrival in Kivotos and wished for no conflict between him and them as they would be the largest obstacle to his plans. Sensei's interest however, was focused on Black Suit's plans. So Black Suit introduced his group as Gematria, a group of outsiders, just like Sensei, but from a different place. He then asked if Sensei was willing to work with Gematria, to which Sensei replied, without a doubt, with no. Hearing their reply, Black Suit offered a proposal. Anything that Sensei's pursuing in Kivotos will be granted by Gematria. Sensei replied with wanting Hoshino back, which Black Suit did not like. Black Suit thought for sure Hoshino was no more a student of Abydos, but according to Sensei, she never did. As it turned out, Sensei was her club advisor and they never signed her disenrollment papers. Hearing that Hoshino never officially dropped out of school, Black Suit realized the contract he made with Hoshino was never available to begin with. To this, Black Suit then focused his intentions on Sensei. He proposed that Sensei gave up Hoshino in exchange of saving the school, but Sensei declined, again. Black Suit, now mildly infuriated, asked how Sensei plan to fight Gematria, to which Sensei brought out a credit card. Such lowly matters mattered not to Black Suit. In fact, that's exactly what he suggested Sensei to do. "Live their life, ignorant of the students", to which Sensei declined. This acted as pretty much the last straw as the reply struck one of Black Suit's nerve. Why? Why? WHY? It made no sense to Black Suit. Sensei's goals were beyond Black Suit's understanding. He couldn't fathom it. The students were never Sensei's responsibilities to begin with, yet they chose to take responsibily. Sensei had unfathomable power for a brief moment when they had access to the Sanctum Tower, yet they chose to give it away. Why? Very well then. It seemed the negotiations were over. "Do you wish to save Hoshino, Sensei?" Hoshino was being held in a lab at the PMC base at the center of the Abydos Desert. Originally, Black Suit wanted to experiment on her to research on something called "terror", and if Hoshino didn't produce results, he would proceed to use "the wolf god." With this information being given to Sensei, Black Suit requested they rescue their kidnapped student... if they can. Gematria will be keeping their eyes on Sensei from now on. Returning to Abydos's school building, it was time to prepare what they need and rescue Hoshino. Considering of gaining more manpower for the operation, Sensei headed to Gehenna to ask for Hina's help, but was halted by Iori. Iori sarcastically said that if Sensei kissed her shoes, she'd let them in, but Sensei did it anyway even before Iori finished her sentence. Hina heard the commotion and asked what it's about, and Iori explained to her about Sensei. Hina was shocked by this information, but accepted their request for help anyways. Meanwhile, Hifumi asked help Kirifuji Nagisa from the Tea Party to support the operation. Nagisa knew Kaiser PMC would be troublesome if not dealt with, which was why she was willing to bring in some towed artillery. Meanwhile, PS68 was ordering ramen from the Shiba Seki Ramen Shop owner's ramen stall. Aru was considering joining in on the assault against Kaiser PMC. Kayoko mentioned how it would be unbeneficial for them, but Mutsuki knew what Aru was thinking: "Tasting ramen this good is the only compensation I need!" What's done is done, and Aru knew she had to help defeat Kaiser PMC. Although she stood up high as an example of a hard-boiled outlaw, her feelings inside couldn't say the same. Preparations were set, and it was time for Operation: Rescue Hoshino to commence! All hands on deck. Although Kaiser PMC outnumbered the students, the students' strength, determination, cooperation, and Sensei's command allowed them to achieve victory against Kaiser. The Director was defeated once and for all, and Hoshino was saved. Things slowly began returning to normal. With Sensei's help, the Foreclosure Task Force was finally approved as an official Abydos club, allowing them to act as Abydos's new Student Council. Although Ayane suggested Hoshino become the president, Hoshino adamantly refused. Although Abydos still had the 900 million yen debt, she heard info of the Kaiser PMC Director had been fired from Kaiser due to having a warrant for kidnapping a student and had been on the run. Meanwhile, Shiba Seki Ramen Stall had been growing in popularity, with Serika and the owner both working harder than ever. Problem Solver 68 also opened up a new office somewhere. Black Suit however, remained a mystery to Abydos, but that's a problem for another time. They still needed to prioritize on paying the debt. Although no one had any bright ideas, their determination was as bright as ever, and they got Sensei to support them.

    As the "story" draws to its ending, a natural disaster comes barreling towards Kivotos; seeking to perverse fate and reality. With the existence of Kivotos on the line, Sensei must rally together the students of the city to fight back and save the miracles of normal life. Ultra-dense energy masses have started appearing all across Kivotos. Unbeknownst to the students that these masses are a sign of the coming apocalypse. As chaos ensued throughout the Academy City, will Sensei be able to reclaim Schale from Kaiser's hands and prevent the destruction of Kivotos? With Schale under Sensei's hands once more, familiar yet different monsters had made their appearance all over Kivotos, guarding what seems to be False Sanctums. It's time for Sensei to lead Kivotos and aid their students in protecting the place they call home from the attacks of the unknown. After the subjugation of the False Sanctums, a mysterious individual who appears to be Shiroko suddenly appears. Meanwhile, the source of the False Sanctums is discovered far beyond the reach of normal means. To put an end to the disasters, Sensei and the students must make their way to the source and put a stop to it. Tragedies of the past have returned as hope for the future, and a battle to determine the fate of Kivotos shall begin; 75,000 meters in the sky. With their plan turned against them, the students aboard Utnapishtim's Ship must quickly figure out a way to halt the ship's self-destruct sequence. Meanwhile, Sensei, Shiroko, and Arona stand face to face against another version of themselves. Here begins the decisive battle between two similar worlds that diverged... and the birth of a new miracle.

    In an unknown place, Francis made contact with an expelled Gematria member named Basement Dweller. Basement Dweller took notice of Francis' arrival but was uninterested of his intentions, until Francis mentioned the dissolution of Gematria with Sensei being the cause of it. The Basement Dweller began spouting something about the "Rulebook" changing, and everything becoming difficult for him. Francis tried to provide him with some insight regarding Sensei, only to be assaulted and told to not interfere. The story flashes back in time, to back when Hoshino was in her first-year alongside her senpai Yume. Yume found out the old Abydos student council hid fireworks made of rare minerals under the Abydos Great Oasis, which she thought could help pay off their debt due to the cost of these rare minerals (100g for 1 million yen). Hearing the absurd idea, Hoshino agreed into searching for those fireworks, only for their treasure hunt to fail. Hoshino then got angry at Yume for the plan's failure. Seems like the two got along quite well. Back to the present, the Foreclosure Task Force were holding their meeting, but as usual, Hoshino wasn't present. Shiroko and Nonomi went to look for her, only to find her dazing into the sky, surprised she wasn't sleeping. Their meeting soon began, and Ayane started pointing out some weird trends around Abydos' autonomous region, namely the Kaiser Group. They found out that what Kaiser's been looking for this entire time was the Utnapishtim's Ark, but it was destroyed up in the stratosphere, unrecoverable, leaving Kaiser with the decision to back down. Although their debt remained, Ayane noticed that the Kaiser President was interested in the Sanctum Tower's reconstruction, which led to the meeting's main topic, the conversion of Abydos' debt into bonds to be sold at the bond market, with the amount announced being approximately 45% of their debt. Of course, this was an incredibly high risk for others considering the rate at which the students were paying their debt. This gave them the idea to buy off those bonds. However, the moment the bond market was open, someone bought their bonds at an astounding rate, until all of them were sold out. Ayane checked who bought them all, and the buyer was...Somewhere else, students from the Highlander Railroad Academy were moving stuff from what seemed to be an abandoned warehouse. As they were cleaning up, they found some deteriorated papers, one labeled "Abydos High School Sales Contract." Flashback to Nonomi's middle school days when she nearly graduated. She was tailing Hoshino in secret, but her cover was blown by Hoshino herself. She firmly asked Nonomi's affiliations and reasons, finding out Nonomi was from Nephthys Private Junior High, a school under the Nephthys Corporation's wing, which surprised her since the school was supposed to be closed by now. Nonomi revealed that it'd close once she graduated. Hoshino then realized Nonomi was Nephthys' successor, which made her ask why the daughter of such a corrupt company be in Abydos. Present day. The one who bought Abydos' bonds were Nephthys. Hoshino recalled that Nephthys, also known as Saint Nephthys Company, began in Abydos and was on par with several major organizations in Kivotos. Abydos was the longest running school in Kivotos, which sourced other school's fear and envy, and Nephthys played a big part during Abydos' golden age. Unfortunately, Abydos' desertification led to Nephthys' downfall, in addition to their attempts to recover losses from the Trans-Desert Railway Project, which was such a huge project that had to be halted, eventually causing Nephthys to close all business and left the region. This led to the Abydos student council's enormous debt, and there were essentially no one left when Hoshino enrolled into Abydos as a first-year. Though Nephthys wasn't the cause of Abydos' downfall, had it remained, Abydos could've been saved, and apparently, Nonomi's family ran the company. She recalled what she said back in Volume F: Nonomi asked Ayane the benefits of Nephthys buying out Abydos' bonds from Kaiser, which she found was ownership and development rights to certain facilities and infrastructure within Abydos, such as transportation infrastructure for logistics and related facilities, but the land remained under Kaiser's ownership. The only thing that would perfectly describe what Ayane mentioned was the Trans-Desert Railway, but why would Nephthys be after a long abandoned project? Suddenly, an explosion was heard nearby, and students identified to be from Highlander Railroad Academy were located. The Highlander students seemed to be constructing a railway, and out of all of them, two stood out. Meanwhile, a Highlander secretary asked if they're even permitted to construct there, worried of an armed conflict, but one of the girls told her she's wasting time yapping. Of course, it didn't take long for the Foreclosure Task Force and Sensei to arrive and catch them red-handed. When Sensei asked what they're doing there, the secretary pointed how Sensei wreaked havoc under the pretense of resolving school conflicts, one incident being the train destroyed during the Trip Trap Train event, and even heard rumors of Sensei being naked. Nonomi asked for them to discuss the matter, but the two Highlander girls instead ran and boarded a train, intending on leaving, but the Abydos students wouldn't tolerate such perpetrators, and an intense train pursuit commenced. Eventually, the train the Highlander girls boarded suffered critical damage, and they were surrounded. However, another person from Highlander approached them, which one of the two girls claimed was their Supervisor. She introduced herself as Asagiri Suou, the supervisor of the Highlander Railroad Academy Superintendent Office. She also introduced the two girls as the Tachibana twins, Hikari and Nozomi, who were both executives of the Central Control Center. However, Suou made it clear that her relationship with these girls were strictly to monitor and review each other's work. She told them all Highlander organizations were independent, and she never intended to be the two girls' friend. Additionally, although the twins were at fault, she apologized as their supervisor for the trouble they'd caused. However, she also stated that Highlander had the rights to construct the Abydos Trans-Desert Railway, which was what they were constructing. Nonomi said that was Nephthys' rights, which Suou mentioned that Highlander partnered up with Nephthys. She then asked for the two "idiots" to be released, for she promised to give a full explanation later. The twins were released, and the three Highlander students left. Another flashback ensued, this time with Yume under the hands of scammers. Apparently, she genuinely believed she was going to be paid decently for a 90-hour work week. She told the scammers she needed to go back, or else her kouhai would be worried, but the scammers didn't care. Unfortunately for them, her kouhai struck through the walls and rescued her. Hoshino told Yume to learn her lesson about being tricked by adults, but Yume worried about the possibility of people asking for help. Hoshino told her to get real, that everyone in Abydos now were villains, but Yume told her that if they only focused on such negativity, they'd lose sight of themselves. Hoshino asked what she'd do if she got betrayed like before, to which Yume replied that Hoshino would come save her. Yume giggled and wrote about this incident in her notebook, which Hoshino said was weird. Flash forward a bit, Nonomi confronted Hoshino about the fact she's from Nephthys. She knew that couldn't change, but some things could, and she pulled out her personal "Gold Card" to pay off Abydos' debt. However, Hoshino refused, saying Nonomi had never felt how to pay something through hard work. Had Nonomi paid the debt with her card, Abydos would've been considered Nephthys' property by them. If she wanted to pay the debt, she needed to pay it off as an Abydos student, like what Hoshino'd been doing. Nonomi then left, saying she'd come back. When Nonomi returned, she heard Hoshino screamed. Hoshino told her that middle schoolers weren't allowed inside the room, but Nonomi said she had graduated and would soon go to Highlander Railroad Academy. She wanted to look around one last time, which Hoshino allowed. Then, Nonomi brought up Yume after hearing Hoshino screaming and realizing she's in the Abydos student council's room. She talked a bit more about Yume, saying she thought Yume might be looking for something, but Hoshino soon left the room. The two walked a bit more across the extremely dusty annex, till they arrived at the school festival office. Nonomi was reminded of the Oasis Sand Festival, which gave her ideas for festivals, such as an idol concert. However, the room they entered was empty, since the festival was cancelled ages ago. Hoshino asked why Nonomi was following her, considering she'd be moving to Highlander soon. Nonomi thought she might regret being there in the future, even though she knew she'd be treated well there, including a chance to become the student council president, but Hoshino told her being in Abydos, a school without something to offer, was a much worse option. Present day. Ayane gave the other girls and Sensei a brief overview regarding Highlander. Highlander specializes in educating students about railways and was responsible for managing some of Kivotos' railways and other facilities. It doesn't have an autonomous district, but its railways act as their territory. She concluded that the Tachibana twins were part of Highlander's student council, the Central Control Center, and Suou was their supervisor although she wasn't entirely sure. As they talked, the Tachibana twins arrived at the Abydos building alongside Suou. Suou assured they weren't here to fight, but time was of the essence. alright. The three entered the meeting room, but the twins were complaining about the cramped space and lack of welcome snacks, but Suou told them those were unnecessary, especially since they're unwelcome guests. The tension began to stiffen, especially with Shiroko clearly attempting to jump Suou. Sensei diverted the conversation back to the main topic, which was regarding the Highlander intrusion incident. Suou, who took notice of Sensei, replied that it was a miscommunication. She said there were other people coming into Abydos, and they appeared to be the ones who bought the bonds. Those people soon entered the Abydos student council room and introduced themselves, with one of them being the representative of the Abydos' creditors' union. Serika mentioned that Nephthys was the one who bought the bonds, but the people said they weren't the sole contributor. They told the girls about the Private Equity Fund, a group of inventors who collectively pool funds to run a business, and that there were more investors other than the ones present, such as the "Confiscated Goods Auction Association" that included the "Gelatin Gummy Trading", "Tanuki Daisuki", and more. The names sounded suspicious, which the representative clarified that he was involved in the Black Market, the reason why he invested in Nephthys since he couldn't show his face. Sensei asked if they could prove they're the creditors, where a robot man joined the conversation through a call. He was Butler-san, Nonomi's butler who took care of her since a young age. He said that Nephthys had to reach out to several investors to buy out the bonds, and he then sent a copy of the agreement for Nonomi to review. After the legitimacy of these creditors had been proven, they began to talk about their main goal, which was the total acquisition of rights to the Trans-Desert Railway project. They already secured development rights, meaning what the Tachibana twins were doing weren't wrong. Nonomi asked Butler-san to explain what Nephthys was thinking, since this project was a mistake since the beginning. However, the creditors' representative wanted to talk about something else and told everyone who wasn't a representative to leave the room. The Tachibana twins left, followed by Butler-san who said Suou would be representing Nephthys. The representative also asked everyone from Abydos but Hoshino to leave, since Hoshino was a member of the student council. Hoshino clarified the Foreclosure Task Force was the current student council, leaving the representative to allow the girls to stay. He then pulled out some documents he found at a Highlander warehouse. It contained the signature of Yume.

    The contract shown revealed that the Abydos Student Council would purchase the rights to use the Trans-Desert Railway from Nephthys. The creditors' representative said the railway was originally a joint project between the Abydos Student Council and Nephthys, with the council being the original contractor before selling the rights to Nephthys for financial reasons. Hoshino took a moment to read the contents of the contract, which said that Nephthys, the seller, would sell the railway rights to the Abydos Student Council for 1 million yen. The council agreed to pay a down payment of 10 thousand yen as per the contract fee, with the rest required to be paid in two years time, and failure to comply would result in late fees. Hoshino, thinking she had gathered all Yume had left behind, was surprised she never saw this contract. The representative said the contract was still valid, but its existence was forgotten, until it was discovered by chance inside a warehouse. The other creditors present said this was a complicated situation for them as well since this contract meant they couldn't claim the railway's rights, which showed how important this was to them. They then asked if Abydos was willing to uphold their end of the contract. However, Hoshino needed a second to think about it all, so Sensei told the creditors to give the girls some time. Realizing they were a bit too hasty, they gave them two days, since by that time, the contract would have passed two years and would be voided. They told them to come to the old Abydos Central Station in two days, at noon, if they wish to finalize the deal. The creditors, alongside Suou, soon left the room. Ayane wanted to recap everything they'd heard, but Serika said they didn't need one, as everything seemed too suspicious. The others agreed too, and Ayane asked Hoshino what happened to the old Student Council. She also noticed the current student council room was originally a school festival planning room, and that there was only one room locked on the first floor which they assumed to be the original student council office. Nonomi said this was a bit much for Hoshino, but Hoshino told her not to worry. She revealed that Yume, the student council president, was easily deceived and would get caught up in several problems. She also mentioned that Yume disappeared before she could graduate. One day, she went missing, and 33 days later, she was found in the Abydos Desert, with her halo completely destroyed. She didn't know what happened since three days before Yume disappeared, Hoshino couldn't locate her anywhere, until she found out about her disappearance. She asked herself why Yume did what she did, which she thought might be written in Yume's notebook, as she loved to write everything that happened there. Other than that, everything else seemed suspicious to her, like the contract being incomplete and only appearing 2 years after. However, something clicked. Hoshino noticed the date written in the contract, which was the same day Yume disappeared. Hoshino suddenly ran, but only Shiroko followed since only she could potentially catch up to her. Eventually, Shiroko caught up to Hoshino. Where they stood was the place Hoshino and Yume first met. Shiroko told Hoshino that it'd be better for her to not hide what happened with Yume. Suddenly, Hoshino shouted that there was an unguarded truck loaded with cash, which distracted Shiroko, giving her to opportunity to escape. Shiroko caught up to her, but she couldn't hold her for too long. Later that night, Shiroko returned to the student council room. The others realized Hoshino needed some time alone. Shiroko said she'd return tomorrow. Meanwhile, Nonomi called Butler-san requesting information regarding the railway project. However, the butler clarified their business was none of Nonomi's concern. Instead, he asked her to continue her ordinary life, asking: "You haven't forgotten all the trouble you've caused, have you?" He then mentioned that Nephthys was in a critical condition, and that the meeting in two days would define the company's survival. The butler then dismissed the call, saying it was late and that he'd pay a visit tomorrow to talk more. He also told Nonomi that he'd exchange her card for her. Though confused by his words, Nonomi and the girls decided to rest for the night, while Sensei returned to Schale to look for clues. Before that, Ayane did say that she felt as if something else was going on behind the scenes. Meanwhile, in an unknown place, the Basement Dweller seemed to be plotting something. His first strategy was: "What's been done, cannot be undone." If Sensei could change the future, he'd need to change the past, something Sensei couldn't change. He also said that he had four strategies at hand, with the first one already ongoing, but the fourth one might not even be needed. At Schale, Sensei asked Arona and Plana for help in keeping them awake until morning. They also asked if Gematria had made any moves recently, but nothing was found by Arona. The morning soon came, and yet Arona was the one asleep. Plana woke her up. Arona, who was just awoken, remembered they needed to wake Sensei up, but they never went asleep. Plana also asked if there were any upcoming construction work, as she'd detected an abnormality within the Schale building's gas piping system. It seemed someone had tampered with it. Suddenly, an explosion happened. After the explosion happened, the Basement Dweller was shocked to see Sensei still standing, thinking a miscalculation happened. Plana, who managed to protect Sensei from the explosion, fell unconscious, and Sensei followed suit. The Basement Dweller, seeing Sensei's unconscious state, realized it was beyond his calculations. He talked about the "Holy Ark" which destroyed the walls of Jericho, but decided to brush it off and modified his strategy. The Foreclosure Task Force attempted to contact Sensei, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Hoshino came out of hiding from yesterday and began walking around. She recalled the first moment she met with Yume, who was asking for people's signatures to help the school. Hoshino of the past would avoid Yume constantly when she encountered her, until one day, Yume tripped, and Hoshino subconsciously helped her. Hoshino was confused as to how Yume knew her, to which she replied that she'd been hearing rumors about a new strong, yet mean student. She thanked Hoshino as the student council president for moving to Abydos, but Hoshino instead told her to return since it's getting dark before leaving. Yume insisted on staying until dark, but her hopes of getting signatures proved fruitless. She was then confronted by some gangsters, who began tearing her business prints. Suddenly, Hoshino came to the rescue and defeated them. She asked Yume why she didn't fight back, and Yume answered that it'd spark more problems, saying that if she solved things by force, she'd lose herself one day. The two returned to the Abydos school building. Yume came back again, trying to get more signatures, before Hoshino came in to tell her that the gangsters from before might return. Yume asked if Hoshino wanted to protect her, but she said it'd be easier to take them all down once they got close to Yume, essentially placing Yume as bait since many people were after the Abydos Student Council. However, Yume perceived it as Hoshino being dishonest and actually worrying about her, which embarrassed Hoshino. Moments later, Hoshino and Yume were arriving at a station, but Yume fell down due to exhaustion. Hoshino told her to get up, and Yume did. Apparently, the two were looking for expensive items left behind to sell. In another day, Hoshino asked Yume about how she ended up being student council president. Yume told her there was no election, she was chosen by a show of hands, and all the previous members disappeared. Hoshino thought Yume took an annoying role, but Yume said she willingly accepted it, saying she believed she'd be able to protect Abydos with that position, but things didn't work out for her. She pulled out her notebook, saying she wished Hoshino would inherit it, but Hoshino declined because she thought it looked lame. Yume then remembered Hoshino liked fishes, since she saw her looking at a notebook with a whale drawn on it with sparkly eyes. Some place else, Yume stood still, lost in thought, before being snapped back to reality by Hoshino. Yume told her to look at the beautiful stars in the night sky, but Hoshino instead told her to focus. As they continued, Yume noticed an incoming sand storm and quickly told Hoshino they should return. Yume hastily tried to pull out a compass, but it appeared she forgot to bring it. Fortunately, Hoshino brought one, so they both quickly returned. Present day, the rest of the Foreclosure Task Force were still worrying about Hoshino. Nonomi and Shiroko went somewhere, while Ayane and Serika were repairing Abydos' helicopter, "Watercloud." Suddenly, Ayane had the idea to enter the locked student council room. She couldn't wait for Hoshino much longer, and the room might hold the secrets behind the old student council president. Serika, although hesitant, agreed to the idea, and the two entered the locked room. Hoshino, who just arrived at the Abydos building, noticed the helicopter, and began recalling the time Yume and her moved to the building for the first time. It was there where Hoshino decided she wanted to join the student council. She said it didn't matter if Yume belonged to the student council, but she was looking forward to hang out with her senior from now on. Yume began hugging Hoshino tightly after hearing such words, suffocating her. She also took a picture to commemorate. Memories of the past began to flash through Hoshino's eyes, including her second-year moments. Back to the present, Ayane and Serika entered the locked student council room, surprised to see how neat it was. Suddenly, Shiroko entered the room as well, shocking the two. Nonomi also entered, leaving the four girls in a state of confusion. Seemed everyone had the same idea. They all began looking, and they found Hoshino's old equipment inside a cabinet, which showed lots of use yet great maintenance. However, Hoshino entered the room soon after.

    Hoshino began opening up about her past, a time where everything around her seemed negative, including the incompetent student council president, which resulted in her giving in to anger to solve her problems. One day, she protected Yume from gangsters as per usual, but she was quite angry that day and lashed out to her before leaving. She planned to apologize right away, but she couldn't find her no matter how hard she searched. She remembered a voice message from Yume saying she got lost in the desert without a compass and with a sandstorm coming in, and that she hid her notebook somewhere, sure that Hoshino would be able to find it. 33 days later after her disappearance, she was found dead in the Abydos Desert, with the reason being dehydration and exhaustion. Hoshino carried her body and equipment back to the Abydos building, but couldn't find her notebook anywhere. Present Hoshino believed the notebook held the answer to Yume's reason for going into the desert. However, a more pressing matter was at hand. A doorbell was heard, and it was Suou, who was also with Butler-san, who was there to explain about the Trans-Desert Railway project. As the two entered into the current student council room, Butler-san asked if Nonomi planned to return to Nephthys, but Shiroko told them to get to the point. For some reason, Suou became provocative, saying something about Nephthys' plans to establish a cooperative relationship with Highlander falling apart because Nonomi went to Abydos. Shiroko wanted to confront Suou, but was held back by Serika. To sum it up, the Butler-san said the Trans-Desert Railway project was also part of a "Asymmetric Power Weapon" that was secretly being carried out by the Abydos Student Council and Nephthys. The weapon was called Railway Gun Shemata, as interruptingly mentioned by Suou. She explained it was a fortress weapon, an ultra-long-range cannon that could fire bombs weighing heavier than a ton up to 500km. The plan was to have it run on a railway line. As unbelievable as it was, if the plan succeeded, it could cause major destruction to other autonomous districts, and Suou believed it was made for the purpose of paying debt. Ayane, hearing the name Shemata, wanted to make sure if the name originated from the student council president, which Suou confirmed was the same "Shemata of the Iron-Fisted Politics." The student council president who settled the chaos that was 70 Abydos student council presidents, bringing Abydos to its heyday. Back in the day, Abydos boasted overwhelming military and financial power, being feared and envied by the entire autonomous region. Due to the unconventionality of the railway gun, the plan was cancelled, until a recent simulation happened, which resulted in the increasing feasibility of the Shemata to work again, as mentioned by Butler-san despite his lack of information due to the natural secrecy of this plan. This was why people were obsessed in obtaining the railway project rights, as by doing so, they'd gain access to the railway gun, and they all had their own ideas on what to utilize it for. But, they couldn't afford the bonds alone, which was why they partnered with Nephthys. And Nephthys, who didn't expect the railway gun project to be revitalized again, joined hands with them with the purpose of preserving the railway project. Butler-san, who soon realized the whole story, couldn't cancel their partnership, as much as he didn't want to give the railway project rights. Seemed like the next move was to destroy the railway gun, but even Butler-san didn't know its location due to the level of confidentiality the project had. It's probably why the creditors joined hands in the first place, to locate the railway gun. Butler-san says the Central Control Center wouldn't know about this railway gun nor this plan, but they might once construction of the railway continued. He also mentioned something about the Kaiser President being interested in the Sanctum Tower. Butler-san mentioned that the rights to the railway wouldn't be handed over to the creditors as long as the contract existed. Apparently, even Nephthys didn't know of the contract's existence until its recent discovery. Ayane remembered about the meeting that would take place tomorrow noon, and cancellation of the contract or failure to attend would void the contract, and the railway rights would be handed over to Nephthys and the creditors. This led to Hoshino deciding she'd attend the meeting and maintain the contract. Though the plan seemed easy, Suou made them doubt by saying those creditors would attempt to prevent them from attending by blockading the building with hundreds of soldiers, and they were likely already on the move. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Foreclosure Task Force remembered Sensei who wasn't present. Suou asked why the Sensei of Schale would intervene in private transactions, which Serika replied that the people there were bad people, and they wanted to ask Sensei for help. However, Hoshino said the area was technically owned by those creditors since they held the railroad rights. Suou then asked if they were heading to the meeting as the "Abydos Student Council" or the "Foreclosure Task Force", since the contracted was signed by the Abydos Student Council, but only its name remained. The situation seemed dire, but Butler-san said there was an easier way that wouldn't even require them to fight head-on, but that method was having Nonomi enroll at Highlander and become its student council president, as such a position would allow her to cancel the contract. However, that plan was dismissed by Hoshino, but Nonomi also didn't want to do it either. Butler-san knew she would answer that, so he provided a third option, although it was probably impossible. He proposed that the contract itself was never valid, since by technicality, Yume was assigned as president through a show of hands, which meant the council wasn't legitimate. This would mean Nephthys would have total rights, but judging from the previous option, this plan was impossible. That was all Butler-san had to share about the matter. He said he'd contact them if he found a solution, and he and Suou left. Hoshino then said they should begin their meeting to try and cook up a solution, but Ayane said they should all rest. The story flashed back to the past, to when Hoshino first met Shiroko during winter, worn out and wearing thin clothing. Hoshino, who was with Nonomi too at the time, asked where Shiroko came from, but she couldn't remember anything other than her name. Since it's cold, Hoshino gave Shiroko a scarf before bringing her inside. Once they're inside, Hoshino grabbed some spare uniforms to let Shiroko wear, and soon enough, Shiroko looked like an actual Abydos student. Back to present day, the Foreclosure Task Force began planning on how to deal with the current situation. Shiroko proposed they force a breakthrough. However, Hoshino was reminiscing about the past, before she returned to the present moment. She recalled how everything felt so fast, since it's been only a year since the Foreclosure Task Force's creation. Hoshino remembered back when Shiroko first requested a duel with Hoshino, saying she'd only follow those stronger than her. The two made a deal that if Shiroko lost, she'd enroll at Abydos and call Hoshino senpai. Of course, Hoshino won. On another day, Shiroko returned to Abydos bringing a bunch of scraps and junk, saying they should sell them to pay off the debt. Hoshino wanted to tell her they couldn't but they were interrupted by a few citizens, who Shiroko apparently stole a truck from. Hearing the absurd situation, Hoshino told Shiroko to apologize, and Shiroko, Hoshino, and Nonomi apologized together, with Nonomi saying she'd compensate for the trouble caused. After the situation was handled, Hoshino wanted to scold Shiroko, but instead of apologizing, Shiroko promised she'd not get caught again. Nonomi then noticed the cherry blossom flowers beginning to bloom, marking the end of winter. It was also almost time for Nonomi to enroll at Highlander after her graduation. When graduation day arrived, Hoshino took a commemorative photo of both Shiroko and Nonomi graduating. Soon after, Hoshino turned the school festival planning office into the new Foreclosure Task Force room. Shiroko said she already had plans, but Hoshino dismissed all bank robbery plans. Nonomi also had some ideas using her Gold Card, but Hoshino dismissed that too. Hoshino also began recalling the first time Ayane and Serika arrived at Abydos, who were both willing to participate in helping out Abydos, but Serika cut her story short due to embarrassment. Nonomi also said that thanks to Ayane and Serika, the Abydos High School Idol plan was a dream come true. Hoshino thought the idea might be too difficult and tiring, so Nonomi suggested only Ayane and Serika became idols. Memories passed by, and especially Nonomi didn't want to let go of the group. None of them wanted it, but Hoshino instead redirected the conversation to the main issue: the location of the railway gun and the upcoming meeting. Speaking of the meeting, Ayane went to check the news to see if anything happened to Sensei, since they couldn't be contacted for a long while. However, the news she saw was horrifying. It was stated that an unknown explosion happened at Schale, and Sensei was rushed into a hospital. Later that night, they found out Sensei's injuries weren't life-threatening, but it meant they couldn't request their assistance. Serika then asked about Nonomi's whereabouts, and Ayane said she had work to do. This concerned Hoshino. Meanwhile, Nonomi was in a dark alleyway, looking for Butler-san. However, Suou appeared, but Butler-san was also present in the form of a call. He thought Nonomi changed her mind and wanted to enroll at Highlander, but Nonomi instead begged for him to find a solution as Abydos and the Foreclosure Task Force were precious to her. Butler-san, understandably, told her it was too big of a favor to ask. He told her she'd been trying to get things without sacrifice, that the world's not an easy place. He mentioned how many people suffered because Nonomi chose to rebel against Nephthys. Nonomi apologized for the trouble she had caused, but Butler-san also apologized for speaking so sharply, and he decided to tell Nonomi the plan. Butler-san knew of Sensei's powers, considering despite the absence of Hoshino, Kaiser PMC was immobilized because of them. He knew the Private Equity Fund would undoubtedly mobilize a large amount of soldiers to barricade the meeting venue and prevent the Foreclosure Task Force from entering, and Sensei would likely find a way. But that's their intention, as this fight would likely cause one side to fall apart, and Nephthys' plan was to come in and mobilize their troops once that happened so they could take advantage and gain total rights to the railway project. Then, Butler-san asked when Sensei'd come back, saying it'd be impossible for Nonomi to reach the meeting venue with Schale's help. It was a trap, and Nonomi was caught by Suou and Butler-san. Butler-san didn't intend on harming Nonomi, but instead they'd use her as a hostage, telling the Foreclosure Task Force to attend the meeting, and failure to attend would led to Nonomi being forcibly transferred to Highlander. Butler-san told Suou to take Nonomi away while he contacted the Foreclosure Task Force. Nonomi, who was being taken away, apologized for leading Nephthys into Abydos and causing everything that'd happened so far. Her voice was recorded by Butler-san, who was contacting the Foreclosure Task Force. He told them to attend the meeting and declare that the Abydos Student Council was illegitimate, giving Nephthys full control of the railway project. He soon ended the call, saying he hoped they would make the right choice. Hoshino, who didn't want to lose anymore people, decided to head there alone. The others were unsure she could win, but Hoshino knew she'd win if it's just her. However, Hoshino insisted the rest stayed there while she headed there alone, since the Foreclosure Task Force was legalized by Schale, but not the Abydos Student Council, meaning Hoshino was responsible. Then, Shiroko challenged Hoshino to a game, similar to the one she had in the past. The battle ensued on the Abydos rooftop, and sure enough, Hoshino won, but she knew Shiroko would surpass her someday. Hoshino mentioned that it was thanks to Nonomi that Hoshino could exist there and now, and it's her turn to return the favor. Shiroko believed there's another way, because there was Sensei they could rely on, but Hoshino reminded them that they were at the hospital and couldn't help. And even though she didn't know why Yume would sign such a contract, had Yume known of the railway gun's existence, she'd try and stop it, which was what Hoshino wanted to do. However, Ayane had other plans. She called in several "Water Clouds" in an attempt to stop Hoshino from going alone. After all, a similar situation happened before where Hoshino tried to handle things alone, and it was only thanks to her the Foreclosure Task Force could stand right now. Serika joined hands in attempting to stop Hoshino.

    Despite having the power of three separate helicopters, Ayane and Serika were defeated by Hoshino. Before she left, she told Ayane and Serika that they were Abydos' future. She told them they should protect this school, as "seniors must protect their juniors." If she could just get rid of the railway gun, everything would be resolved. This was Hoshino's final command, as the vice president of the Abydos Student Council, following the wishes of Kuchinashi Yume. As Hoshino left, Shiroko caught up to Ayane and Serika. Hoshino then went to the old student council room to equip her old gear. She wasn't going to repeat the same mistake again. Nonomi, who was being imprisoned, saw Suou passing by. Suou made contact with the creditors regarding the situation and Nephthys' ongoing plan to betray them, and in response, the creditos beefed up security even more. While that was happening, Nozomi was informed that the Trans-Desert Railway construction had begun, and she quickly told Hikari about it. Meanwhile, Sensei began to regain consciousness inside the hospital. The doctor handling Sensei told them to rest, but Sensei chose to stand up. The doctor asked why, to which they replied that they had to go to Abydos like they promised, but the doctor wanted them to at least take a quick test. Afterwards, they rushed to the Abydos school building, where they witnessed the burning helicopters on the Abydos playground. They met up with the three remaining Foreclosure Task Force girls, and they all decided to organize the school a bit and gather in the task force room. Sensei started by getting the situation straight, and after understanding it, Sensei asked if they were ready. However, the girls knew they couldn't beat Hoshino, so even with Sensei's help, it'd mean nothing if they couldn't convince Hoshino to change her mind. With all the problems coming in, Ayane couldn't help but feel like this was someone's personal malicious intents, and Sensei could feel it too. Ayane began wondering why all of this was happening to them, which gave Sensei an idea. They remembered that the position of the Abydos Student Council president remained vacant for a while, so they proposed to solve that by holding an election. It took a bit, but Ayane realized what Sensei was trying to say. Having a student council president would help solve their problems, and to do that would require 60% of the school's students, which just so happened to be all three of them, and Schale would guarantee the legitimacy. Ayane instantly took the initiative of becoming the student council president. Though it was unusual, they all agreed, and with that, Ayane became the new student council president, and Sensei, as the advisor of Abydos, approved the election results as a witness. First order of business, Ayane merged the Foreclosure Task Force into the Abydos Student Council while keeping its name. She then formally declared that she would attend the meeting and maintain the contract signed by Yume, and the railway rights would not be handed to neither Nephthys nor the Private Equity Fund. She also demanded Nonomi's return from Nephthys. Meanwhile, Sensei began searching for Nonomi's location. Shiroko asked Ayane about what would happen to Hoshino, to which Ayane replied that Hoshino had been demoted to secretary, meaning Hoshino would have no effect in the meeting. This decision meant that the railway gun wouldn't fall into Nephthys' hands, and neither the Foreclosure Task Force and the Abydos Student Counil would disappear. It was time for the Abydos Student Council/Foreclosure Task Force's mission. However, Ayane suddenly got embarrassed after her big talk. Meanwhile, in an unknown location... Sensei found Nonomi's location: Abydos Central Station Old Building, the same location the meeting was being held. This reminded them of the time Sensei helped in rescuing Serika, which embarrassed her. They then began a meeting regarding the plan, which was to rescue Nonomi, and before Hoshino could deny the existence of the Abydos Student Council, they would assert the task force's legitimacy. Next was the infiltration plan. The east was guarded by the Helmet Gang with their overwhelming numbers, the west was concentrated with Market Guards with high probability of military vehicles and/or powerful weapons, the south was filled by Black Tortoise soldiers with their unmanned turrets, and the north was surrounded by hired mercenaries with special barricades. Since this was an infiltration mission, Ayane and Serika consulted Shiroko, who had some experience with infiltration. Meanwhile, Hoshino was pushing through the Market Guards on the west area. Shiroko knew Hoshino would go that way, so she said they should go through the west area. Despite the amount of strength and numbers, Hoshino was pushing through all the west area's defense, which worried the creditors and Butler-san, who were waiting at the meeting venue. However, the creditors knew of Butler-san and Nephthys' plans on betraying them. As it turned out, Butler-san was apparently accompanied by Kaiser PMC. Meanwhile, the Foreclosure Task Force girls were catching up to Hoshino. Butler-san was confronted by the creditors for the unexpected partnership with Kaiser. However, Butler-san wanted to know who told them about his betrayal. Then, Suou made her appearance, alongside the Kaiser President and General. Apparently, Suou was originally associated with Kaiser. Butler-san was infuriated that she would betray him despite having helped her when she had nowhere to go, but Suou replied with that she never asked for help. Butler-san was then shot unconscious. Afterwards, the General handed the President information regarding the railway gun, which piqued his interest. From the situation, the President concluded three possible futures, one where the Abydos Student Council attended the meeting and gained the rights to the railway, one where the Student Council claimed the contract as invalid, subsequently handing over the railway rights to Nephthys, and the last being either the Student Council not attending the meeting or attending and arguing over the contract's termination, which would give Nephthys and the creditors the railway rights. However, it begged the question. Why would such efforts be taken if the contract was gonna be voided anyway soon enough? The President believed it was so Kaiser didn't know of the railway gun's existence. The President then offered the creditors to sign a document stating they would become Kaiser's subsidiaries, but he gave such an incredibly low price of 1,000 yen. This angered them, but they couldn't do anything as they were surrounded by Kaiser troops. Then, the president mentioned why Kaiser's logo was an octopus, because they held so many companies with them. Afterwards, the President headed to the meeting room while the creditors and Butler-san were being imprisoned. The President told the General to keep Abydos at bay, Hoshino in particular since she was the one Black Suit wanted. The news of Kaiser troops arriving was soon heard by Ayane, and apparently, they were also fighting against the creditors' troops. Even the Highlander students were caught in the crossfire. Meanwhile, Hoshino had a direct encounter with the General. Knowing Hoshino, she'd win against him, so Sensei told the girls to instead help Highlander. The Tachibana twins, despite being rescued, had no clue about the gravity of the situation, so the Abydos girls just headed to the meeting venue instead since time was running out. Inside the building, Suou brought out Nonomi into the meeting area. The President ordered for his troops to locate the exact location of the railway gun and call in transportation. However, it didn't take long for Hoshino to infiltrate the building, which was unfortunate for the President as neither the railway gun's location was found yet nor was his means of transportation even nearby. As soon as the railway gun was located, Hoshino barged inside the room. She noticed the Kaiser troops surrounding the room, realizing Kaiser was involved. The meeting soon began. Denying the Abydos Student Council's legitimacy would hand the railway rights to Nephthys, but the President clarified that for Nonomi to be released, Hoshino should apply for the termination of the contract, which would hand the railway rights to Kaiser. As Hoshino was about to make her decision of denying the Student Council's legitimacy, the Foreclosure Task Force barged in, and Sensei shouted that Hoshino's decision was invalid. Ayane then declared Hoshino was demoted to secretary, and that she's the new Student Council president. Sensei approached Nonomi, telling her that she'd need their approval to leave the task force. The President, seeing Schale being involved here, had no plan to deal with them, but he bought enough time. Unfortunately, the time had passed, and the contract was invalid, and the President planned to head to the railway gun himself using a helicopter, and he wanted to take Nonomi with him, but couldn't. Despite the efforts of the girls to push through the Kaiser troops, the President was able to escape with Suou aboard the helicopter, and Suou even managed to steal Nonomi's Gold Card, because apparently, he needed to go to the Student Council Canyon, which required the card. However, as the President flew away, Suou backstabbed him and pushed him off the helicopter. Suou told Hoshino to come if she wanted to stop the railway gun. She warned her that if she didn't come, she'd activate it. Hoshino, who knew where the location was, decided to go there alone once more and distracted the others as she charged alone. The girls went to check on the creditors and Butler-san. Nonomi talked to Butler-san and said she knew his actions were for the sake of Abydos. Butler-san apologized for being too focused on dealing with the railway gun issue. The girls then went out from the building in pursuit of Hoshino, which Shiroko said reminded her of back then when Hoshino tried to resign on her own. The story flashed back again, to one day when Hoshino was called by Yume. Hoshino was wearing her school swimsuit due to getting her clothes wet while trying to repair the playground's pipes. Yume called because she found out there was an Abydos exhibition hall which might hold valuable treasures to sell. Hoshino thought those treasures would've been stolen or broken already, but Yume said there was a secret area the public didn't know of and pulled out some old documents she found that had a place written "Abydos Desert Closed Earth Sector 35-9", which she believed to be a clue as to where the hall was located. Coming back to the present, Hoshino headed to the exhibition hall. Meanwhile, Nonomi said she felt like she's obsessed with something, or rather, they were all possessed by something, which Sensei took note. Serika asked if Sensei could contact someone as strong as Hoshino to help, but Nonomi it wouldn't help solve the fundamental problem, meaning they had to deal with the situation on their own. They didn't know the location Hoshino headed to though. However, Butler-san came in and told them that the Kaiser President mentioned "Abydos Desert Closed Earth Sector 35-9", which had a station at the Trans-Desert Railway there. Meanwhile, Hoshino entered the exhibition hall, seeing that the inside's control system was operating. She noticed it was written "Administrator privileges, 'Izayoi Nonomi'". Butler-san said that that station was actually a branch station leading to the Student Council Canyon, and with Nonomi's Gold Card, they could restart the train system. Before leaving, Nonomi asked Butler-san what type of person Suou was. He explained that originally, she was not affiliated with anyone, a delinquent. He got to know her when he was looking for an escort to bring Nonomi to Highlander, but Nonomi went to Abydos instead, so an escort was no longer needed and he forgot about Suou, only to find out she had become a supervisor. Butler-san then told them that they would never catch up to Suou without high-speed rails. Conveniently, the Tachibana twins and their secretary appeared and offered their help. They heard about the railway project and wanted to give them a ride, which the Foreclosure Task Force gladly accepted. As they were inside the zooming train, a Kaiser PMC helicopter arrived on top of it, so the Foreclosure Task Force girls had to deal with them. The Tachibana twins tried their best to make the train move as fast as possible, even using rocket propellant that they brought, but Kaiser was able to catch up to them with their own train. They told the girls to get off the train and go to the location on their own while they performed a multi-track drift to stop Kaiser's train. As the girls jumped off, Hikari and Nozomi managed to stop Kaiser's train, causing both trains to crash off-tracks. After an hour of walking, the Abydos girls and Sensei managed to arrive at the location. They soon arrived at the control system inside the station, and Ayane noticed that two trains departed two hours ago, both heading to the Student Council Canyon, with one of them likely having Hoshino in it. They then activated one of the trains in that station. Ayane said that the train would take an hour to arrive at the Student Council Canyon with automatic driving. Meanwhile, Hoshino had arrived at the canyon and found the railway gun. She noticed a Gehenna emblem embedded on the gun. Soon after, Suou appeared. She commented that the gun didn't look like that before, it was rebuilt on a large scale. She said Abydos and Nephthys were fooled by Shemata, also known as the "Thunder Emperor", the tyrant of Gehenna who threw Kivotos into chaos two years ago who had graduated and left Kivotos. She also said that the Eden Treaty was likely made as a ruse for that person. Apparently, the railway project was meant to be a simple railway project, before it became the seed of conflict by the hands of this Thunder Emperor. However, she was quickly overthrown by her subordinated, yet her inventions still remained, which were all capable of putting Kivotos in danger instantly. Hoshino began to question Suou's purpose here, yet her main concern was still the railway gun, as she believed it was against Yume's intentions. Suou told her to do whatever she wanted, but she had to get the Gold Card from her if she wanted to destroy the railway gun. Suou said her real intention was Hoshino, to deny the horror and madness of Abydos. She even told Hoshino that if she defeated her, she'd tell Hoshino Yume's notebook's location, which riled her up. The Basement Dweller's plan seemed to be going well. However, he noticed something... Meanwhile, the Abydos girls arrived at the canyon. They soon noticed the railway gun and its massive size, and the Gehenna logo. Suddenly, Arona mentioned to Sensei that the railway gun was built using technology unknown to Kivotos, likely ancient technology. Sensei then asked about Plana's condition, who Arona said was still sleeping and looked incredibly tired. Then, Plana woke up, and she said someone was observing them, before she fell unconscious once more. Suou was defeated by Hoshino, and she began to ask herself why she couldn't defeat her. Hoshino asked if she really did know where Yume's notebook was, which Suou actually lied about. She told Hoshino she shouldn't be caught up in the past, before she was knocked unconscious by Hoshino. As Hoshino was about to head to the railway gun, the Abydos girls and Sensei managed to catch up to her. They tried to convince her to not do it, even tried to fight her. The final battle began. However, the Abydos girls were reaching their limit. Hoshino told them they should rest, as fighting a 1v4 was not in her favor. But Shiroko instead asked her for a duel, and with the help of Sensei, she won. There must be another way, Ayane said. She asked what Nonomi thought of this. Nonomi knew they couldn't revive the dead or go back in time, but she wanted to relieve herself from the guilt she had. Shiroko, though she didn't know of Yume, she asked for her story regardless. Then, Hoshino revealed that she was the one who killed Yume. She knew it was on accident, but she couldn't protect anything she left behind, always being so angry. She had so many memories with her, yet not a single chance to say thank you, and now she couldn't even see her. Sensei told Hoshino it was time they returned, but before they could, the railway gun activated. Suou was inside it, and she said she'd destroy Abydos. She told them she'd be waiting at Great Oasis Station. Before she could say what would happen if Hoshino didn't come, her communication was cut. Hoshino then shot at Shiroko before chasing after the railway gun. Suddenly, Arona found information regarding the railway gun. She said it's capable of firing plasma with the same temperature as the sun, but it couldn't be recreated completely, meaning its energy would spread and cause widespread damage when destroyed forcibly, and everyone else would be caught up in the explosion too. Meanwhile, the Basement Dweller was spectating ecstatically. He did mention that had he been late by 1 second, he would've lost, and that Sensei was stronger than any other opponent he had fought. He then mentioned about the sixth koan: "Is the truth that does not exist really the truth?" Suddenly, Plana found the Basement Dweller. It appeared he was in a realm where "reality and unreality are not determined." Plana attempted to scan him, only to find out he was a foreign entity that didn't exist in their world. Plana then returned to the Shittim Chest. She told Arona and Sensei that the person who had been watching them was inside the Realm of Chaos, and that she was able to locate him thanks to her adaptation of the same place, which was in the Throne of Naram-Sin back in the Ark of Atrahasis. She also said that he was from Gematria, and that he was able to intervene with their world through that realm, but Arona and Plana's existence was irregular to him. Plana then warned Sensei that the Basement Dweller seemed to be betting on them, and that he's plotting something using Hoshino (the best Mystic in Kivotos). Just like Black Suit. She also that the problem might spread throughout Kivotos, as she remembered a moment where Hoshino's halo shattered. Afterwards, Sensei told the Abydos girls they were gonna call someone who could help. They believed she could definitely stop Hoshino. Night befell, and Hoshino arrived at the previous station. However, as she entered the control room, she met a familiar face. It was Hina, who told her that it's impossible to destroy the railway gun alone, to find another way. However, Hoshino refused. A battle was inevitable.

    A fierce fight ensued between the two. However, Hoshino didn't have time to keep fighting, so she managed to activate the train on the control room, allowing her to escape. Hina didn't sit idly by, for she broke into the train before it left completely. The fight continued inside the train, to the point where part of the train was wrecked immensely. They continued the fight on top of the train. Unfortunately, Hina's attacks were powerful enough to blow up a section of the train, causing it to fall into a cliff, and Hoshino with it. As she fell, memories of the past came swinging by, reminding her of her last moments with Yume, when she shouted at her for always getting fooled by tricks before leaving. She desperately tried looking for her everywhere, while replaying voice notes of Yume telling her she got lost in the desert and to find her notebook. After Hoshino stood back up from the fall, she noticed the train was completely obliterated, meaning she'd need to walk to the Great Oasis Station. Despite being wounded heavily, she pushed herself to walk to the station, but before she could walk far enough, Hina was there to stop her. She fired at Hoshino just enough to stop her from moving. Hina told Hoshino about the fact she was ordered by Sensei to stop her. Additionally, one of her missions was to remove all of the Thunder Emperor's legacy, one of them being the railway gun. She told Hoshino that things would work out if they worked together, just like what Sensei and the other Abydos students said, and like what Hoshino said to her in the past. But she knew Hoshino didn't stop because of Yume, because she wanted to uphold her wishes, thinking Yume would've wanted to destroy the railway gun. But Hina told her Yume didn't even know of the gun, because even Hina and Makoto were looking for the railway gun at the time as well, to no avail. Hina told her that the Trans-Desert Railway Project was proof of Abydos and Nephthys colliding to revive the school, so Yume wanted to protect it, not caring for things such as balance calculations. However, when Yume wanted to deposit the balance to a bank outside the autonomous district, an accident occurred. Hoshino asked how she knew all this, which she replied that Yume's death was a big event that Gehenna's Intelligence Department was moved. Additionally, she was also the one investigating Yume's death, since Hoshino was stronger than anyone else, meaning the Intelligence Department had to take a look. Hina told her that Hoshino was stronger than her, because she knew Hoshino had something to protect, to the point she remained in Abydos even after everything. Hearing this, Hoshino was reminded with her past encounters with Black Suit. She told Hina that she couldn't leave the railway gun unattended, but Hina knew someone else would prevent it. The other Foreclosure Task Force girls and Sensei were riding a train driven by the Tachibana twins, who were soon arriving at the Great Oasis Station. Meanwhile, Arona warned Sensei that a huge amount of energy was detected from the railway gun, while Plana warned that the Basement Dweller was approaching Hoshino. She tried to interfere, but her current state of coexistence prevented her. As the train was about to collide, the girls and Sensei jumped off the train. Meanwhile, Hoshino began talking to herself, wondering what happened that caused Yume's death, why Yume asked her to look for her notebook, what's inside the notebook that's so important. Hina knew something's off, but this was what the Basement Dweller wanted. He spoke into Hoshino's mind, manipulating her, to the point where she began to believe that everything that happened until Yume's death was her fault. Eventually, Hoshino lost it, repeatedly saying it was her own fault. A red explosion happened, knocking out Hina, and Hoshino transformed. At the same time, the Foreclosure Task Force managed to subdue Suou and stop the railway gun. They noticed the red explosion, so they hurriedly head to where it came from. Sensei asked what's going on. Plana told them that Hoshino's existence had been reversed, turning her into Terror. She couldn't be reverted back, much like the dead can't be revived. As it turned out, the railway gun was just a decoy. The Basement Dweller's main target was Hoshino, the strongest Mystic in Kivotos, for he wanted to answer the sixth koan: "Is the truth that doesn't exist really the truth?" However, there was a concept similar to death: Pain. As it's difficult for others to understand one's own pain, it's also impossible to understand the pain of others. And Hoshino, a Mystic reversed by pain, was the manifestation of "Terror." Plana warned Sensei that they needed to stop Hoshino, who had now been transformed into "Horus"; otherwise, the world would end. Sensei and the Foreclosure Task Force confronted Horus, but they were easily knocked out. At the same time, a new entity approached her, a nemesis of Horus, a being who opposed the creation of this world: The Fury of Set. Sensei asked Plana what they should do. She told them their only solution was to destroy Hoshino's halo, but that's not something Sensei would allow to happen. Plana then told them that to stop Horus, another divinity must step in with the power to oppose it, and such divinity could only exist in a comparable "Terror", but Plana said no one in the world existed that fitted the description. Shiroko managed to stand back up. She reminded herself of the time she was rescued by Hoshino, claiming this happened because she was weak. But now she realized that only she could stop Hoshino, the reason she existed here. As a desperate attempt, she reached out to The Chroma. Suddenly, Sensei somehow made contact with Yume. Sensei was confused, but it seemed their presence had been there for a while, since they could hear Hoshino yelling at Yume and Sensei from afar, telling them to come look for treasure in the Great Oasis, and if they didn't hurry, she would leave them behind. Yume noticed Sensei's sad expression and asked what's wrong. Sensei apologized, saying if they could, they would. However, Yume assured them that whatever the circumstances were, it's not Sensei's fault, and that they didn't need to apologize. They told her that they couldn't turn back time, for they're just an ordinary human being. Even stretching out their hands was overwhelming. As a response, Yume told them that's enough. Suddenly, Sensei was transported to the Basement Dweller's location. He was shocked at their appearance, thinking the game was supposed to be over. But Sensei told him it's not over yet. Plana then noticed a forced transfer sequence being activated using the Chroma. Then, Sensei ordered Shiroko Terror to stop Shiroko. The Chroma promptly left, as Shiroko was no longer reaching out for it. Shiroko Terror confronted Hoshino, knowing she's the only one who knew what Hoshino went through, for she was there. And soon, a battle of Terror commenced.

    Prior to the Terror Duel, Shiroko Terror noticed the Chroma's appearance. She blamed herself for the cause of everything that'd happened to her friends, but Plana told her it wasn't coming for her. Shiroko Terror was shocked, before Plana explained that she's utilizing the Chroma's power to contact her and that the Chroma was called forth by Shiroko. Now that another Terror joined the battle, the fight was more fair. Fortunately, Shiroko Terror emerged victorious. The Basement Dweller was flabbergasted when he noticed two Terrors at the same time, saying this should be impossible and that this was cheating. Additionally, The Fury of Set had stopped, meaning he had no other choice other than his fifth strategy. Seeing Hoshino Terror stopped and The Fury of Set disappearing, the Foreclosure Task Force thought Hoshino would revert back to normal, but Shiroko Terror denied that, saying it's impossible, and her reason for coming there was to destroy Hoshino's halo; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to save them. Of course, they weren't on board with the idea, including Sensei, who asked if there's another way, which Shiroko Terror replied that there was. She pointed at Hoshino's chest: a shape which hadn't taken form yet. The others took notice and thought it seemed similar to the shape of a notebook, which made them remember about Yume's notebook, the thing Hoshino had been looking for. Shiroko Terror claimed Hoshino hadn't been completely reversed yet, and the notebook might be their last resort. Suddenly, Hoshino Terror started moving once more. After analyzing the Basement Dweller's abilities and tje, Plana then mentioned that they might be able to contact Hoshino before she's completely reversed, by activating an "overclock" in the Shittim Chest to create a similar Throne of Naram-Sin where existence and non-existence were mixed together. However, Arona was currently in a weak state, so Plana volunteered to provide her with computational resources while she went into a dormant state. Before they began the process of creating a Realm of Chaos within the Shittim Chest, Plana asked Arona to hold her hand because she's scared. Hearing this request, Arona was super excited. At the same time, the Foreclosure Task Force were getting ready to stop Hoshino Terror. Hina even woke up and lent her hand despite her drastically wounded state. Shiroko and Serika managed to hold onto Hoshino Terror. Sensei extended their hand, but they hesitated, saying they would never understand Hoshino's pain even as an adult. They claimed only the Foreclosure Task Force could help, including Shiroko Terror. Shiroko Terror, misunderstanding the message, wore the robber mask Shiroko gave her. Serika quickly told her to take it off, before they all reached out to Hoshino. Within Hoshino's dreamscape, Hoshino kept blaming herself for the things that happened. The Foreclosure Task Force took turns in expressing what they wanted to tell to Hoshino, hoping Hoshino would come back to her senses. Even Shiroko Terror told her to let go of the past. Hoshino, slowly coming back to her old self, knew even she couldn't let go of the past, which took Shiroko Terror by surprise. Hoshino asked Shiroko Terror if she still had the others' weapons. Hoshino wondered if she could throw them away, or if she could let go of her own memories. Despite all that though, Hoshino said she couldn't go back until she found out what's inside Yume's notebook. It was soon enough Sensei's turn to speak to Hoshino. They told her that they couldn't know what's inside Yume's notebook. However, Hoshino knew Yume best, meaning within that notebook would definitely be something Hoshino believed Yume would write. Suddenly, Hoshino was transported to somewhere else, where she found Yume's notebook. She opened it, and as she was reading it, Yume materialized in front of her. The book contained Yume's messages. some of them asking how Hoshino had been fairing as a third-year with her juniors. Hoshino, seeing Yume in front of her, quickly ran into her and hugged her tightly. Despite Yume's reassuring words within the book, Hoshino told Yume that she hadn't been the best senior she could be. However, Yume told her to not look down on herself like that. She told Hoshino she still had work to do: protect her juniors. After that, Yume disappeared. Hoshino, now realizing who she was and what she's meant to do, she wanted to cherish what she currently had. The Fury of Set was about to fire at them, but fortunately, Hoshino reverted back to her normal self just in time to protect her friends from it. The Basement Dweller, seeing his plans failed, was about to use his fifth strategy. He somehow knew of Sensei being able to only command 6 students at a time, meaning Sensei wouldn't win against The Fury of Set and therefore him. However, Plana discovered a way to lift those restrictions, and with their newfound technology, Sensei pulled out their Adult Card. Basement Dweller was horrified by the card, saying it's cheating, but Sensei didn't have time for games when their students were in danger. After The Fury of Set was defeated, some sort of light began sprouting from the ground, slowly floating into the sky like stars. Hina said it's likely some expensive mineral that generated plasma when stimulated by something, likely the lightnings. Hoshino realized that Yume was right. There was treasure hidden under the Abydos Oasis. Hina said that 100 grams of it would be worth 10 million yen. However, the minerals were slowly exploding and would not stop until all of them was burned. The other Foreclosure Task Force members were desperately trying to scrounge as much of the mineral as they could. Shiroko Terror also used her robber mask, but Shiroko told her not to. Serika then brought up the question as to how both Shirokos should be referred to to avoid confusion. Shiroko Terror suggested they should call Shiroko "Little Shiroko" or "Weak Shiroko" which angered her, causing her to fire at Shiroko Terror. Shiroko Terror dodged the attacks, bragging about how she's more experienced than Shiroko. Hoshino, who was staring into the distance and taking her time, heard the commotion and had to step in. Meanwhile, Suou was heavily injured. Realizing it was almost dawn, she left the place, and the Tachibana twins followed. After the situation was resolved, Ako made a call to Abydos, asking why Hina was in treatment there. She also asked if Sensei was okay, so Sensei said they're fine. She asked about when did Sensei contact Hina. Sensei then told her that they contacted Hina prior to the explosion because they found out Gehennaw as involved with the railway gun. Ako then told them that she would be coming. After the call ended, Nonomi passed by, who was wearing her gym clothes. She said she's going to do laundry, but in the meantime, Sensei could come with her as they headed to the Abydos classroom. After the laundry was finished, Nonomi and Sensei headed to the classroom to where the other Foreclosure Task Force were, who were also in their gym clothes. Nonomi gave them their clothes, but it seemed Hoshino was with Hina in another room. Then, the question popped up. Why was Sensei still there when the girls were about to change? Sensei was quickly kicked out from the room, so they headed to where Hina and Hoshino were. When they entered, they witnessed Hina and Hoshino together, both in their gym clothes. Apparently, Hoshino fell asleep, so Hina couldn't move. Sensei got Hina out from Hoshino's grasps. As Hina was about to leave, she told the Foreclosure Task Force that she'd return to inspect the railway gun. They expressed their gratitude for Hina's help, which made her slightly flustered. Hoshino then woke up, still in her gym clothes. She asked where Hina was, but the others told her that she left already, before telling her to get changed before the meeting starts. As the meeting was about to start, Hoshino said she wanted to say something. She told everyone she was sorry, but the others were jokingly saying they couldn't hear her, including Sensei. She then shouted her apologies, but the others were just glad she's back. Hoshino also remembered something when she was still in her Terror form. She remembered hearing the voices of her friends, including Serika who said she and Ayane would be debuting as idols if Hoshino came back to her senses. It was something Serika said in the spur of the moment, but now she couldn't back down. The meeting continued, until it eventually led to the topic of Yume. The others wanted to hear about Yume, so Hoshino began sharing her stories, starting from the day they wore swimsuits to the dried up oasis. Meanwhile, the Basement Dweller was locked up again. Suddenly, Shiroko Terror appeared, and she was not happy with what he had done. She thought all of Gematria was defeated, but Basement Dweller was the last one remaining. However, Shiroko Terror chose to not kill him, but she left him with a warning to never come back for a being called "The God of Death" existed. Afterwards, Plana announced that connections to the Basement Dweller had been cut off, meaning they would never come back again. Additionally, the Chroma was no longer detected, but now they had two Shirokos. Hearing this, Plana quickly checked for Shiroko Terror, but she was disconnected. However, she was disconnected unilaterally, meaning this might be her way of saying "Please don't look for me." Meanwhile, Shiroko Terror wandered into the desert, where she would throw her lost friends' weapons away. A while had passed after the incident. Sensei was talking with Ayane, before Shiroko and Serika returned from digging in the oasis in hopes of finding treasure, all covered in sand. Hoshino then told them they weren't wearing swimsuits like she did with Yume. Serika told Hoshino that only in times like these did Hoshino actually use her authority as student council president. Seemed like Hoshino had finally accepted the position of student council president. Seemed like things were returning to normal. Gehenna was dealing with the railway gun, the Kaiser President was being hospitalized for a while, and the railway restoration was going smoothly. Additionally, the Trans-Desert Railway project was being partially resumed in cooperation with Highlander. Suou returned to her position as supervisor, still dealing with the troublemakers that were the Tachibana twins. The Abydos district was slowly revitalizing, with people beginning to open shops. Shiba Seki Ramen was also getting more people, but more people meant more problems. As the Foreclosure Task Force visited the place for ramen, a gang member was running away after stealing some stuff. Shiroko chased after her, and Sensei followed suit. When the gang member got far enough away though, she was attacked by Shiroko Terror. Shiroko caught up to them. Both Shirokos were surprised to see each other. Shiroko grabbed the gang member and went back while Sensei talked with Shiroko Terror. It seemed that Shiroko Terror had been living nomadically inside abandoned houses within the Abydos district, since that's the only place she knew of. Surprisingly, there were many of these houses with running water and electricity. Sensei asked if she had been eating, which she said she had been picking up food from trash and exchanging money, saying she's used to being alone. They offered her to eat ramen with the others, but she told them she's fine. She's afraid to talk to them. After a bit more talking, Sensei handed Shiroko Terror a cellphone, telling her to contact them anytime. Later on, the Foreclosure Task Force girls were handling Binah, who was attacking the Abydos district. Hoshino told the others to regroup with her. When the others arrived, they noticed that Shiroko Terror was with Hoshino. As they were about to engage, Shiroko Terror wore the mask Shiroko gave her. The others also started wearing theirs. Shiroko, whose mask was with Shiroko Terror, went up to her.
