Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop

Music: Ayamegaoka Nostalgia

After arriving with Reeta and Kaito to the school, Rayla went directly to the rooftop, wanting to be all by herself, reflecting upon the recent events, and about the dream she struggled to forget, but the more she thought about it, the more it refused to leave.


Rayla: I'm sure everyone was apprehensive with the explosion, but glad nothing serious happened...I bet people were happy school wasn't cancelled either...well, most of them anyway.

She lifted her arm in the air, looking at the brand on her right hand.


Rayla: This is the first time I had to use Fenriswolf. The first of many that will come...It didn't damage Doremy as much as I've hoped... even when being paired with Miss Kalina and Jerry's attacks...And will most likely won't be of much use against future opponents...

Rayla: I'm guessing my "family" is pretty much going to say "told you so" if I somehow have that dream again.

Rayla: Heh...I'm still calling it a dream even though it's cleary a nightmare...

"But in that nightmare...I've accepted their pleas of a peaceful death once my mother hugged me. Maybe deep down, I'm already giving up..."


Rayla: Wrong...that's wrong! This is just starting, how come I've been giving up instead? That doesn't make any sense.

"But the fact that I felt at peace in their embrace won't change."


Rayla: Then I just need to do something to change it. I've already decided to fight for the city.

"And I won't back off right now. There's a lot to be done."


Rayla: I still have to reconcile with the branching family, have my fight Majima and accept Serena's proposition. I guess after these three are done, maybe it's time to liberate Spring Zone from the Shihana Clan.

Rayla: There's a lot more to be done, but right now, let's focus on the things within our reach.

Rayla: Yes...Things will finally start moving foward.

Then, Rayla felt that remembering the dream she had wasn't so grueling anymore. This meant that she could focus on classes again. She wait a bit more for the bell of the second period to play.

Team D

As they walked through the corridors, they could hear some of the girl gossiping about Hiagor and how he looked charming.


Daniella: Seems like you've caught some of their hearts without even trying.

Renath: They'll be dissapointed once they find out about his smell of cigarretes.

Italo: Boss...you know nothing about how a maiden's heart works.

Renath: What does that has anything to do with...

Hiagor: Some girls like guys that lives on the edge, who gives "that finger" to the rules. The smell of cigarretes might be alluring to some. Besides, I bet some of these students are secretly smokers too.

Renath: Hmm...I see...Cigarretes huh? You just gave me an idea.

Hiagor: Wait...you're not planning on actually...

Renath: Italo, after we're done with this task, we'll start confiscating every pack of cigarretes that we find on the belongings of the students. Then, we'll notify their parents about it.

Italo: Understood. I'm sure Miss Kenzuki is going to love having a field day with the poor soul that gets caught with one. Granted, it won't solve the problem, but we can still convice some of these people to smoke at a proper age...or don't smoke at all.

Daniella: Mr. President sir...You're actually a 1st year too right?

Renath: That's right. Why?

Daniella: No reason in particular. (He does exale an air of naivete...But I can see he's not the type to fool around.)

Hiagor: Now then, were do we start?

???: Ah! It's the president!

Renath: Hm? That voice...

Italo: Oh hey, if it isn't Katy.

Jane Katherine: Hello Italo. It's rare for him to stay on the corridors during lunchtime. Did something happen?

Renath: Nothing out of the ordinary. (Yet.)

Jane: Really? Then why is Detective Hiagor here?

Hiagor: So she knows about me.

Jane: Of course. I've read a lot about your exploits when you were a police officer. You're really amazing!

Hiagor: I don't know about that...I still didn't do anything big yet after I left the force. Heck, I don't think what I did on the force managed to make a difference...

Jane: But you're about to do something great, right?

Hiagor: Well...

Daniella: Maybe we can tell her what's happening. She does seem smart enough to understand that something is going on and will see through any excuse..

Renath: I second this. Besides, Jane could be our starting point since she's friends with "him".

Jane: (Tsuya?)

Italo: Your call Detective.

Hiagor: Very well, you guys raised some good points. Let's go to a more private place.

They headed further down a corridor and reached a spot where there wasn't any students. Then told Jane about the operation. She listened to everything without raising a question.


Jane: ...

Renath: Right now, we are after anyone that looks suspicious. One of our students might be their spy.

Jane: I can tell you something out of the ordinary that happened earlier.

Italo: We're listening.

Jane: Before lunchtime, Tsuya asked to go to the bathroom...But he didn't come back yet. I found it unusual since he always made sure to never miss a class. I was searching for him when I bumped into you guys.

Hiagor: I see. It might be a problem if he's out of our sight.

Jane: These rumors...they are really fake...right?

Hiagor: I sure hope so. By the way, we should apologize for using your friend as a bait. This whole situation is our fault after all.

Jane: You're apologizing to the wrong person. I'm not even sure what to say about this. (It's going to make him even more stressed out if he finds out about it...)

Hiagor: Okay...I'll still say sorry in case you decide to be upset at us.

Jane: I'll continue the search....

Renath: Wait, Katy, can you take my place in the investiagion for a moment? I might find him through the surveilance feed.

Jane: Oh right, we have cameras...

Hiagor: While you're at it, can you give me the locations of each camera? There's a possibility that our spy might use blind spots.

Renath: Understood. I'll be right back.

Jane: (Me? Together with Detective Hiagor in an investigation?)

Jane: (THAT IS SO COOL!!! I didn't expect it would even happen...Today is really something huh?)

Daniella: (Well, someone is an excited puppy. Let's hope I'm really right about my assumptions of her.)

Nadia: We are at our destination. Anyone that looks incredibly suspicious, interrogate immidietaly, they might have some important and valuable clues.

Mina: That's good and all but...

Nicholas: Where do we start? The spy might be anyone.

Nadia: We could start with the deliquents. They usually have a lot to hide.

Hyde: Sounds good...But what if they don't talk?

Nadia: Well...I can just send them to Miss Kata for some...disciplinary measures.

Nicholas: Owch.

Mina: I guess that works. Maybe the spy uses them to also gather information.

Nadia: I know where a group of them usually hang out. While we head there...Hyde.

Hyde: Hm?

Nadia: I haven't seen you around Miss Harada as of late.

Hyde: Gh!

Nadia: Did something happen? It wasn't a violent break up or anything right?

Hyde: Don't speak as if we were dating!

Mina: You're not?

Hyde: Even you Violet? No, it wasn't nothing of the sort.

Hyde: It's just...we've both been busy...especially me with my practice swings...

Nadia: That's a lie and you know it.

Hyde: (Why that excuse never works?)

Mina: You can tell us Hyde, maybe we can help out with it.

Hyde: It's nothing special...It only has something to do with our circunstances.

Nicholas: What does that mean?

Nadia: Is this more serious than I'm imagining?

Hyde: You guys don't know?

Hyde whispered to them that Orie was actually a member of Licht Kreis. Telling them that since he's on Linne's side, they are enemies.


Mina: Now it's my turn to say "owch"...I'm sure you were shocked to find out.

Hyde: ...Strangely enough, I felt determined enough to fight her without hesitation during that "Night"...And when I look back on it, I'm ashamed that I drew my sword against her so easily like that. I'm sure she hates me now.

Nicholas: Hyde...

Hyde: I know she still studies here, but I'm sure she's just doing that to watch over me under their orders. I haven't done any effort to talk with her again.

Nadia: That's sad...you two seemed to be so close...

Hyde: We didn't date okay? We were just friends.

Nadia: Do you still think her as a friend?

Hyde: ...Yes...I mean, sure, she tried to stop me back then...but I can't get mad at her that. We both have someone we're loyal to.

Nadia: Did she also attack you without hesitation?

Hyde: Pretty sure she did.

Nadia: I see...You're both are more similar than you think.

Hyde: What?

Mina: I know where you're going with this. Maybe Miss Harada still thinks you as a friend too.

Hyde: Y-You think so?

Mina: I'm also sure she thinks you hate her.

Hyde: I would never...if anything, it would be nice if we worked together on this. I did told her that Linne isn't a bad person and she even agreed...but...

Nicholas: She has to follow the orders of her organization...Talk about tied hands...

Nadia: Sigh...I brought up this up in hopes of getting both of you to reconcile...but now, I'm not so sure...I mean, yeah, you two might be able to talk again, but I'm 100% sure you'll get into a fight again in the near future for most likely the same reasons...and it will probably strain your relationship even further...

Hyde: It's okay...I appreciate the concern. Maybe I'll work up the courage to talk to her again once school is over. We'll sort things up as we go.

Nadia: Then my job here is done!

Mina: Only one of your jobs anyway.

Nadia: Of course! Now then, time to interrogate those naughty kids.

Nicholas: (So Hyde has to deal with someone else's hatred too huh? While he's not good at making excuses, he's doing a good job hiding all the stress.)

Nicholas: (I'm sure that Blue Reaper probably knows that he's turning my life into hell with what he's doing...He needs to be captured...)

Music: To the Future of Dreams


Andressa: 3rd Year huh? I'm not looking foward to reach that part of my life.

Kenzuki: Why not?

Andressa: I enjoy this place a lot to just let go...But at the same time, I don't want to repeat an year either.

Kenzuki: Is that so? Well, if you enjoy this kind of envirioment so much, why don't you become a teacher?

Andressa: Huh? Never thought of that possibility...Maybe, I can teach others how to use a sword too. Yeah, that's what I'll do! The Captain will evolve into the Grandmaster Sage of the Blade!

Kenzuki: Well, best of luck to you.

Drake: You're a 3rd Year right Miss Kata? Do you have any plans once you graduate?

Kenzuki: I've been thinking about joining the police force.

Andressa: That would be great. With your nosy personality around, even those maggots would do their damn jobs for once.

Kenzuki: Nosy you say?

Andressa: Yeah! You're like everyone's mom around here. One raise of your voice and everyone is listening.

Kenzuki: Hmph...Anyway, there's a group of bad intentioned students that spends their freetime in one of the empty classrooms. I'd like to interrogate them first.

Andressa: Oh, I think I know that bunch. They'll most likely clam up if you show up there, so leave this to me.

Kenzuki: I'm willing to believe in you since you speak their language.

Barry: Just don't reveal to them what we're doing. The possible spy or one of his accomplices might not talk.

Andressa: Right on! Here comes Blade Detective Andressa, ready to smite out the truth hidden in the shadows.

Kenzuki: Does she ever gets ashamed of saying such childish words?

Drake: That's pretty much her default behavior.

As they headed towards the empty classroom, someone watched them from afar.


Girl: That's one of the hall monitors...Drake is there too. That's an uncommon sight. I wonder what's happening. It's not like him to hang out with such important people like Mr. Barry and Miss Kata.

Out of curiosity, she started following the group.

Kanzakai School - Gym Area: Exterior

Music: Friends


Hinata: You said that Tsuya was bullied yesterday after he left basketball practice right?

Ledi: That's right. When I got there, Tsuya and Jane had already ran off. I've managed to catch one of them and reported the guy to the Faculty Office. He soon gave out the name of his friends thanks to Miss Kata's interrogation. They got hit with a suspension so we won't be seeing them so soon.

Hinata: That's good to hear.

Kenneth: What did they do to him this time?

Ledi: It had already happened when I got there so I can't really tell you. Maybe the boss knows since he usually watches the school's surveilance footage.

Kenneth: Surveilance...Oh, you mean cameras right?

Ledi: What else could it be?

Hinata: You don't know what a surveilance system is?

Kenneth: I do...I just drew a blank. That's all.

Saika: (I was told he's from another world where modern technology doesn't exist. Seems like he hasn't fully adapted to it yet.)

Ledi: You know...it kinda scares me that one of these students is a potential member of the mysterious organization...What would the friends that he made on this school would say if they found out...or worse...what would happen to them?

Hinata: Not really a pleseant thought... It pains me to doubt my own coleagues, but it has to be done.

Saika: Miss Shuusuke...Don't you have a partner from the Intelligence Office that also enrolled in this school? Maybe she saw something odd.

Hinata: Oh, you mean Yoru right? Yes...I guess we can ask her some questions.

Hinata: I'll take you to a spot she usually stays during lunchtime. It's better if I talk to her...She can be a bit...unpleseant.

Ledi: Yoru huh? I don't think I've ever met her. Nothing seemed to stand out.

Hinata: And it's better if it stays that way.

Saika: (I can already see where this is going...)

Kenneth: (I don't like the sound of it.)

Kanzakai School - 2nd Year Classrooms Area: Corridors

Team C

**Crimson Heart still playing**

Nadia took the group to a dead end, seeing five students that she identified as delinquents hanging out there.


Nicholas: There they are,

Nadia: These guys are the first deliquents I've managed to report. They haven't done any other offense since, but they still talk with the other lowlifes frequently, so they might have something fresh for us.

Mina: (If they still hang around with the other delinquents, I wonder if they even learned their lesson...) In that case, we should get started...

Nadia: I'll go first... *ahem* ... Hey guys, it's been a while.
Delinquents: !!!

Nadia: I'm sure you guys remember me so...
Deliquent 1: Oh shit, It's that hall monitor girl that got us in trouble.

Nadia: Yes, that's me...anyway...
Deliquent 2: Do you think that she found out about that?

Mina: That?
Delinquent 3: Oh no, I'm not going to detention again...
Delinquent 4: Me neither...let's break her apart.
Delinquent 5: You'll pay for what happened last time.

Nicholas: What are they even talking about?

Mina: I'm sure it's not related to what we were going to ask...Anyway, do you want some help Nadia?

Nadia: Mostly because it will help end this faster.

Mina: Heh, Better make sure you can make that boast count!

Nadia: I knew it was a dangerous job...I made sure to show that I'm qualified for it.

Hyde: These two sure are fired up...I'm sitting this one out.

Nicholas: Same here...let's ask other students if they didn't see anything unusual...

Nadia: You guys do that. Things might get ugly for the weak of the heart!

Music: Outlaw Lullaby Kiwami 2

Both girls lifted their fists up, waiting for the delinquents to attack first.

Delinquent 1: We won't hesitate just because you're girls.

Mina: I'll hesitate just because you guys are tiny bugs. I have to make sure you guys won't get crushed so easily.
Delinquent 2: WHY YOU...

Mina dodged the incoming angry attack, grabbed the man from behind and threw him at his friend with ease. The impact hurt them quite a bit that they struggled to get up, but Mina kept them pinned on the ground. Meanwhile, Nadia managed to make the third delinquent trip, getting him fall to the ground, then, she dodged an attack from the fourth one, used her coat to blind her attacker and push him to a wall with a strong kick, retrieving her coat back when his head collided with the wall, making him fall on the ground thanks to the dizzyness.

Delinquent 5: Fool, I'm still here!

He managed to grab Nadia from behind, when he readied himself to slam her on the ground, she quickly freed herself by elbowing his head, locking his arm into a brief hold, enough to cause a good amount of pain on his shoulder that made him recoil, then, she threw him to the ground.


Mina: Wow, you're stronger than you look. Are you perhaps a Heat User?

Nadia: I guess I am...I want to say the same to your skills, but your strenght is obvious because you're an Ancestor Mage.
Delinquent 4: The hell? A freaking mage was fighting us?
Delinquent 3: Ancestor what?
Delinquent 1: It means we never had a chance...

Nadia: Now then...Are you guys willing to confess or do I have to take you all to Miss Kata once more?
Delinquent 2: No please...Alright we'll talk...It was us that swapped all the chemicals in the science lab today.
Delinquent 5: We swear we won't do it anymore...

Nadia: Thanks for your cooperation. I didn't exactly come here to ask you guys about that. We didn't even get a complaint
filed yet, but I should give the heads up to the teachers anyway.
Delinquent 1: The hell?

Nadia: Yep, you guys were actually going to get away with it had you not been so paranoid.
Delinquent 4: I can't believe this...

Nadia: Now then...about that thing I wanted to ask you guys about...

Meanwhile, back with Hyde and Nicholas, they've been asking other students about anything out of the ordinary, but
so far, they didn't get anything.


Hyde: They are all clueless.

Nicholas: No surprise there...If I was a spy, I would act as natural as possible. He probably has a persona that he uses in this school to fool other people.

Hyde: His acting must be very good...The problem now is finding out who this spy is.

Nicholas: I wonder if the others are having better luck.

???: Nicky!!! Over here!

Hyde: Hm? Nicky?

Music: Self-Delusion Picture Show

Nicholas turned around and saw a girl walking in his direction while waving at him with a big smile.


Nicholas: Hey Zee, Good Morning.

Hyde: Your classmate?

Zeelena Dannia: That's right. The name's Zeelena.

Hyde: I'm Hyde.

Zeelena: Nice to meet you. Are you friends with Nicky too?

Nicholas: That's right. Though we mostly talk if we end up meeting up on the streets. We do take the same route but we don't always meet.

Zeelena: Really? Then I guess you decided to know him better today since you're together.

Nicholas: Something like that.

Zeelena: Cool! Can I hang around with you guys?

Nicholas: Not today I'm afraid...

Zeelena: Eeeeh? Hyde, are you hogging my Nicky all to yourself or something?

Hyde: Is it bad? I mean, that's not it! Where did you get that idea? You're making it sound weird.

Nicholas: Oh right...Zee, have you seen anything out of the ordinary? Like, someone behaving differetly from
the norm.

Zeelena: Eh? Hmm...Let's see...Ah!

Hyde: Found something out?

Zeelena: I did see that guy who keeps getting bullied...Tsuya I think...I saw him heading towards the upper floor before the chime to lunchtime played.

Nicholas: What? Really?

Zeelena: Yeah...I don't really know him but...isn't he supposed to be this super smart guy? It just seems odd that he left the 1st year floor to go to the 3rd year one.

Zeelena: Of course, at first I didn't think much of it and thought he was going to return soon...he did return to his class...right?

Nicholas: That we don't know yet. Hey, maybe you can find him for us. Once you do, I promise to tell you what's happening...just not in front of everyone...they might panic.

Zeelena: So it's something serious right? Okay, I'll go to the 3rd Year floor to search for him. Zeelena out!

She went to the 3rd floor at a fast pace. The moment she left was when Nadia and Mina came back.


Nadia: Hey guys, We're back.

Hyde: Any luck with those guys?

Mina: Luckly, we did. They said that they saw someone named Vincent Carl, a student that supposedly received detention yesterday came to school today.

Nicholas: Detention for what?

Nadia: He bullied Tsuya yesterday with other delinquents. He's the leader of a group of them. Seriously...The guy watching over the surveilance should've told us and we would've send him back home.

Hyde: Doesn't the teachers know about this? Unless he skipped classes.

Nadia: They do...which implies he hid on a blind spot somewhere.

Nicholas: This is suspicious indeed.

Mina: That's all we got for now. Our next task should be searching for him.

Nadia: Yup! I'm so excited we've got a lead.

Hyde: Oh, that's right, Zeelena saw Tsuya heading to the 3rd floor before lunchtime.

Mina: (Isn't she this one cheerful girl that is infatuated with Nicholas?)

Nadia: Really? Is he still there?

Nicholas: Zee went there to search for him.

Nadia: Seems like you trust your sweetheart enough to send her on an important task.

Nicholas: What? You do know I did reject her confession right?

Nadia: I don't know about that...You seem to enjoy her presence enough to call her Zee.

Nicholas: The same way I enjoy the presence of any friend. Is that bad?

Nadia: Nope, it's not bad at all. Hehehe~!

Nadia: Anyway, back to the task at hand! A new path that will likely leads to the truth has opened. Let's march towards our answer!

Nicholas: Like I said...

Hyde: Just leave it be man...People will tease us the moment they think we're dating someone.

Nicholas: Right... (That's not something I was expecting to have in common with Hyde...)

Andressa entered alone in one of the empty classrooms, meeting with a group of three students playing "Go Fish".


Andressa: What's up guys! Excellent day isn't it?
Delinquent 1: Hey, it's that weird chick from the Kendo Club.
Delinquent 2: Whoa it is? Hey, say something stupid.

Andressa: Ah! 'tis a miracle wrought of bliss supreme! From the lance that healed thy wounds, poureth life-blood most divine...whatever that means, I don't know!
Delinquent 3: Yep, she's the real deal. What do you want with us lowlifes?

Andressa: C'mon guys, you can do it if you put some effort in it...I'm not here for that. Have you guys noticed something strange today?
Delinquent 1: Strange? Well, not really...
Delinquent 2: Is this about the rumors of that guy that keeps getting bullied being a psychic user?

Andressa: (I guess telling the truth right now is the best way to get an answer from them.) You guessed it.
Delinquent 3: Yikes...It's a good thing we left that dud alone...

Andressa: It's not really true just so you guys know. It's really just to lure out a possible spy from the mysterious organization.
Delinquent 1: Hmmm...

Andressa: What? Did you remember something?
Delinquent 1: Nope...I still got nothing.

Andressa: Oh...Well, I guess that's oka-

Music: Mors Certa

Suddenly, Kenzuki enters the room, wearing a different uniform, carrying what looked like a katana on her waist. The delinquents freaked out with her presence alone. They could swear that was being backed up by an higly opressive BGM.


Kenzuki: You three better not be lying.

Kenzuki: This is something really important.

Andressa: Hey, I thought I told you I would handle this. (How did she changes clothes so fast?)

Kenzuki: You were about give up just now...That is why I decided to interfere.

Andressa: Give up? I was taking it slow!
Delinquent 2: Y-You never told us the freaking Samurai Monitor was here...

Andressa: Trust me, I didn't knew she would enter...

Kenzuki: The three of you, sit on the ground, side-by-side in japanese style.
Delinquent 3: Urgh...Not this again...

Kenzuki: Did I stutter? Do it NOW!!! Only speak when questioned.
The three: ROGER!!!

As she started with her interrogation, Drake scratched the back of his head.


Drake: Guess we should leave them be.

Barry: Agreed. We should be asking other students about any unusual event.

???: Um...

Drake turns around, and reconizes the face calling to them.

Music: Nothing but the truth


Drake: Lyna?

Barry: (This girl...She shouldn't be talking with us...)

Lyna Clay: Good afternoon you two.

Drake: Yeah...hi...

Lyna: Is something the matter? It's not common seeing you together with Barry...

Drake: Well...

Barry: I took an interest in him, that's all. You shouldn't concern yourself with any of this.

Drake: (Okay, I'm having a moment of deja vu...)

Lyna: Are you sure? I'm hearing Miss Kata's angry voice...it's kinda hurting my ears.

Barry: She's applying her punishment to someone and we were just curious. That's all there is to it.

Drake: (I knew it...he doesn't want Lyna here.)

Lyna: I see...Well then, I'll be leaving now.

Drake: Ah Lyna wait, I'm coming t-

Barry: Halt!

Drake: But maybe she saw some-

Barry: *low voice* Do not even thinking about involving her in this!

Drake: Eh?

Lyna: ???

Barry: It was nothing...You shall go.

Lyna: ...Right...Sorry for bothering you two.

After Lyna leaves the place, Drake looks at Barry with a confused expression.


Drake: What was that all about Barry?

Barry: We shouldn't put that girl into harms way...never.

Drake: That was the same thing that other girl told me.

Barry: So you met her sister.

Drake: T-They are sisters? (They look nothing alike...)

Barry: Trust me when I say that Lyna Clay should keep on living a normal life.

Drake: Urgh... (What is even going on? Why Lyna?)

All of a sudden, the door opened, the three delinquents left the room running in fear. Kenzuki sheathed her sword while Andressa let out a loud groan.


Barry: So...how it went?

Kenzuki: We've got something. Aparently, they knew our surveilance system underwent maitenance today. Only coming back up during lunchtime.


**Mors Certa plays again**

Barry: What? Who told them that?

Andressa: It was through an anonymous text.

Kenzuki: Most likely, someone from the staff did it...

Barry: Did you confiscate their phones?

Kenzuki: It would be of no use since they were instructed to delete the message.

Drake: That would give the spy a huge window to do anything...

Kenzuki: There might be still a chance that someone still got the message with them. Let's split and ask around.

Andressa: Okay...Then I'll...

Kenzuki: You're coming with me...You'll be way too nice with them. Mr.Bariand, you go with Drake.

Barry: Understood.

Andressa: Tch...Why with you of all people?

Drake: (So someone from the staff is helping the spy...I mean, it wouldn't make sense if he was working alone...But now we have to suspect a teacher as well?)

The group saw a lone girl under a tree, typing something in her laptop. Hinata slowly approached her and soon after, she was noticed.


???: Good day...What can I do for you?

Hinata: Yoru Mizu, I'm here to talk about business.

The girl lifts her head and sees the others behind Hinata. She closes her laptop and stands up.


Yoru Mizu: Is this about that operation? Didn't knew you were going to be involved as well.

Hinata: If you knew about the operation, then you should be helping too.

Yoru: Isn't that why you're here? To ask for my help? Just so you know, I won't be moving from this place, but maybe I can still help you with some useful tips.

Hinata: ...I guess that's okay by me.

Saika: So...did you really see something strange?

Yoru: Nothing related to this mission.

Ledi: Say what? But...aren't you a member of the intelligence as well? Surely, you got something.

Yoru: Look Mr.Big, If even someone like me didn't find a thing, then maybe you're asking the wrong person.

Kenneth: She's got a point... (But when you make said point after saying that you'll help...it makes me wonder about her skills as an intelligence officer.)

Hinata: C'mon...you got to have at least something...

Yoru: The school has been quiet since morning. Besides, if the cameras got something, then you wouldn't be needing me.

Ledi: Cameras...Wait...

Yoru: What is it Iron Giant? Did something ring your bells?

Ledi: Well...Actually, I was told the cameras went through maintenance and it only ended when lunchtime began. Sorry guys, I should've told you sooner...

Yoru: Lovely...so this means the spy had a huge window to do whatever it wanted.

Hinata: I doubt he got hold of such information. He would have to be working with someone from the staff to get said information.

Yoru: DING DING DING! AND OUR CLUELESS HEROES MADE THE CORRECT ANSWER!!! Your prize is: That useful tip I've promised seconds ago!

Saika: Excuse me?

Yoru: The Sports Storage Room. That place has no cameras whatsoever, it's the dream of every boy to be locked in there with his love interest...and also the best place to hide something sinister.

Ledi: The police was instructed to inspect every vehicle that entered the school. They came up with nothing. There's no way they could smuggle some-

**music stops**

Suddenly, Ledi was pinned on the ground by Yoru, feeling a knife right near his neck.


Kenneth: What do you think you're doing?

Yoru: Retract your claws Kid Dracula, I'm not going to behead this mass of muscles. You guys do know we're dealing with the mysterious organization right? You, "Vampire in da hood", can you tell everywhere how I got this knife out?

Kenneth: ...You pulled it out of nowhere...I saw some kind of portal similar to the warp weapon system.

Yoru: Exactly! How convenient technology can be, isn't it? You can do many things, including crimes like smuggling.

She stands up again, making the knife dissapear. Kenneth helped Ledi to get on his feet.

**music resumes**


Ledi: Geez...That scared the heck out of poor me...why is she like this?

Saika: We're not allowed to share that information with you...

Hinata: And it's better if you leave her be from now on. Pretend you still know her as a regular student.

Yoru: What are you guys still doing here? I've already lent my time to you, I have stuff to do, now hush, get out of my property!

Kenneth: Right...thanks for your contribuition...

They start heading towards the Sports Building, now being aware of how unpleseant she can get.


Ledi: So that's her true self right?

Saika: Sadly...yes...I'm still questioning why she got hired by the Intelligence Office...

Hinata: Meanwhile, I've been imagining that she's dying to just break the quiet girl persona...she's always blunt and rude to everyone that knows who she truly is...

Kenneth: Can you really not say why she is like that?

Saika: Not in public anyway...But let's forget this event happened and focus on the mission.

Kanzakai School - 1st Year Classrooms Area: Corridors

Team D

Music: Bettle Land (Day)

They asked many students if they have seen anything unusual, but didn't get much. Then, they got a phone call from Renath. Hiagor enabled the speakerphone so that everyone could listen to his report.


Renath: Sorry guys...I forgot to tell you that the surveilance system was on maitenance...

Hiagor: So the cameras were all off? Well, this would be a problem if someone got a hold of this information.

Renath: Indeed...I've sent the locations of each camera to your e-mail Detective Hiagor...maybe that will still help somewhat.

Hiagor: Thanks, I'll check these right now.

Jane: What about Tsuya? Did you find him?

Renath: No...The cameras didn't get him in any corridor after they were back online.

Jane: I see...

Renath: I'll keep watching the camera feed. You guys keep on investigating.

Hiagor: Right...I would like to report that we didn't find anything yet.

Renath: Let's keep trying! We shouldn't let that demoralize us.

Jane: You said it boss!

Renath: Alright, over and out.

Music: Core

The phone call ended. Hiagor pulled a tablet and checked his email, seeing the map attached to a recent message. After downloading it, he opened all the four files in separate tabs, letting the others study the locations as well.


Jane: I see...so the cameras on the school's building are mostly focused on the corridors. None of the rooms have any cameras.

Daniella: In comparison, the school's exterior feels like some maximum security prison. There's only some obstacles for blind spots, but they won't do much. I doubt even an internation spy like Sublimation Reptile would infiltrate this place.

Hiagor: Who's that?

Daniella: He's from a book I've read once. He's a famous master of stealth.

Hiagor: I feel like I've heard about someone similar before.

Daniella: I thought you liked books detective.

Hiagor: I've read mostly didactic books. I'm more of a film person in regards of fiction.

Daniella: I see...Anyway, you got my analogy right? So, the only time the spy would ever be able to do anything is during this large period where the cameres were inactive...Assuming he knew this happened.

Jane: The let's assume the worst right now and say that not only he knew the cameras were out of comission, but he also knew the location of each one. That would require someone from the staff to give him this information. Let's also assume he got it the same way Detective Hiagor did, it would be way safer, as the spy wouldn't risk being seen together with his accomplice.

Hiagor: (She seems to be on to something.)

Jane: Now if I was the spy, I would use that time to watch over Tsuya, see where he goes. Staying on the corridors would be an impossibility as a school staff would just send him back to his class.

Hiagor: But what if we assume the worst and think that the spy is on the same class as Tsuya?

Jane: I don't know...the chances are microscopic at best...Let's avoid this route for now.

Hiagor: (She shoot down my random guess really fast. While this isn't enough to say that she has talent, I'm still liking what I see.)

Daniella: (Then how about this?) Maybe there's be one spy per classroom?

Jane: I doubt they have that many. I feel like this case, the less people the better, so maybe there's one spy per floor...I believe that would be more reasonable. Anyway, continue with your reasoning Miss Katy, we'll go through this probability later.

Daniella: Very well. (My feeble ship has sunk as well.)

Jane: Okay. What if the spy stayed outside? Let's check the map for a moment.

Hiagor showed the map of the exterior, Jane located the place where her classroom stayed, then pointed towards some bushes.


Jane: Here, I think the spy could've used this place to stay hidden from the students and the staff.

Daniella: Wait, you did say Tsuya left the classroom some minutes before lunch right? The spy wouldn't be able to see where he went. I guess it would make more sense if his assistant was there instead and alerted the spy to any movement.

Jane: Yeah, that would make more sense. Let's go with that.

Italo: I don't want to say this...but I think his assistant is a Janitor.

Jane: Hm?

Daniella: (He's been quiet for quite a while.)

Italo: It might be like an obvious choice to put the blame on...but this is because a Custodian would be the perfect person to stay there without standing out too much. Not only he does have acess to all of the rooms in the school, he would also be the perfect candidate to inform the spy about the disable cameras. I can't really think of anything else.

Hiagor: I see...So if we piece everything we've theorized so far, it would be that: Our Janitor stood near the window of Jane and Tsuya's classroom for a while to observe it. Then, when he saw Tsuya leaving the classroom, he told his partner about it, and now...

Hiagor: Oh...snap!

Music: Intermission ~The Deepening of the "Night"

Everybody came to the same conclusion, but Jane was the only one to say it out loud.


Jane: The Spy is with Tsuya right now.

Italo: Calm down Katy, these are just assumptions after all.

Jane: We still have to explore every possibility...and right now, we have to make sure Tsuya is safe.

Hiagor: While she still has a point...right now, if anything big happens, the cameras would've seen it.

Jane: Right...

Hiagor: Let's wait for any calls from Renath.

Jane: Right...I'll go ask my classmates to see if they saw the Janitor outside.

Hiagor: Then we'll head to the Faculty Office. I don't think there's any use on asking more students right now.

Jane then, went back to her classroom in a hurry. While their deduction was full of "ifs", she still had to make sure if some of them hit the mark or not. Team D headed towards the Faculty Office in order to regroup.

8 Years Ago

They arrived in front of the orphanage, seemingly in an immense hurry. Both left the car, she carrying the injured child in her arms. It was raining and she stood trembling at the door, firm grasp at the young boy she held on her arms.

Both of them embark in the car and leave. As he was completely injured, even crying hurt him. The door opened and a kid appeared right at his back.

Kid: Ah!! L-Lady Amara!! There's an injured boy right here in the door!!

Music: Unrest

Moments later, the police was there to investigate the crime scene. All the groups sans most of Team B were reunited at the Student Council Room. Jane was there was well, being told that Tsuya has been found. Zeelena and the girl who was keeping Tsuya inside the empty classroom were also there for questioning.


Hiagor: (So many things happening at once...Guess our hunch was right after all...horribly right. I can only hope the rest of Team B is okay.)

Kenzuki: Now then...Time to begin your questioning Mr. Abata.

Tsuya: I've already told you everything...

Kenzuki: Do it again from the beginning. Don't miss any detail.

Jane: M-Maybe you should take it easy with him...

Kenzuki: Only when I'm sure he's not the culprit, then I'll apologize. You have my word for that. In the meanwhile, be quiet, if we don't take this seriously, we might never catch the one behind this.

Jane: (How can I with you treating him like that?)

Andressa: (Lady Samurai really likes doing this...)

Kenzuki: Now then...Tell me what were you doing in that room. And again, don't miss any details or it might be bad for your case.

Drake: (Yep...She's really fit to be in the police force alright...)

Tsuya: ...Fine...Like I said, when I arrived at that classroom, he was already...

Kenzuki: What were you doing there? What motivated a 1st year student who so far had a strict routine to break it? There's been people who reported to us that they saw you heading toward the 3rd Year floor instead of going to practice chess like you usually do in the Sports Building. You can't keep avoiding the issue here.

Tsuya: F-Fine...but not in front of Jane.

Barry: Sorry, but no can do. Your friend has been worried sick about you. She has all the right to know what is happening right now.

Tsuya: B-But if I say something...she might think...

Jane: That's wrong! You're not a killer Tsuya. There's no way I can believe that, no matter what you say.

Tsuya: Y-You don't get it...

Jane: This is about yesterday right?

Tsuya: !!!

Music: Walhall


Jane: I don't get the reaction. You should be aware that I know you long enough to guess what you're thinking. You looked so distressed by yesterday's events...It wasn't hard connecting these dots...But I know for sure that you're not the killer.

Tsuya: Katy...

Mina: You have such a great friend Abata.

Tsuya: ...Yeah... (But...I don't think I deserve her...)

Kenzuki: Now that you don't need to be afraid, Are you willing to talk now?

Tsuya: ...Yes. I'll tell you everything. And if you don't want me to miss any detail, then I'll begin with the event that might've started all of this.

Music: Mirage

"Yesterday...When I was leaving basketball practice, Jane was waiting for me by the door...Then, the bullies showed up and started picking on me. Katy tried to stood up for me, but that only made them angrier...and suddenly, one of them forcefully kissed her.

That was the last straw for me. I've had my first actual bout of anger. I tackled the guy in order to save Katy, then we both ran away as fast as we could. This event made me realize...that anyone close to me would be a victim of all these bullies as well. So I decided to distance myself from Katy for a while...until I've settled everything up.

This meant that...I had to confront those guys head on, I had to stand up for myself or else this torture would never stop. And I would start with the leader of one of these groups. His name is Vincent Carl...the student that was killed today. I've actually talked to him yesterday to meet me alone at the empty classroom...When I got there, I saw that he was already dead, and the girl who was passing by saw it and assumed I did it."


Kenzuki: What were you planning to do once you've met him?

Tsuya: Sincerely...I wasn't so sure. Once I've reached the door...I've hesitated for a bit...then apologized mentally to Jane before entering...But I'm almost sure I would get into a fight with him.

Girl: Heh! You certainly has the motive for the crime.

Tsuya: I've already told you that it wasn't me.

Girl: We'll see about that once we check the camera footage.

Renath: About that...it's impossible. There's been a maintenance for the whole morning, and the cameras had to be off during that time.

Girl: EXCUSE ME? I can't believe this...

Hiagor: Which means that right now...we can't prove Tsuya's innocence...and his story does make for a solid motive for murder...

Tsuya: ...Of course...

Jane: I still believe he didn't do it. Sure, he was going to do something wrong, but I know for sure that he wouldn't go that far. Tsuya is a kind person, I know it.

Girl: Too bad that alone won't be enough.

Kenzuki: She's right. Regardless if you believe him or not, evidence is everything.

Jane: Then we just have to find it right? That will be our job right now.

Hiagor: (This sure takes me back to when I was a police officer. I haven't investigated a murder ever since I left the force.)

Barry: While I do admit that all of this makes sense, we have yet to hear more details from this girl.

Girl: What? But I saw him in that room with the victim. It's not hard to guess...

Barry: So you saw him after the murder ocurred right?

Girl: Y-Yeah...

Barry: Then as a witness, you're not that decisive if you don't have anything to prove how he did the crime.

Girl: Argh...

Nadia: Ah! That's right, I just remembered that Vincent Carl wasn't supposed to come to school today.

Tsuya: He wasn't?

Kenzuki: Oh right, we gave him detention once we've heard about the event from yesterday. And the teachers knew about it as well so they would know if he was in classroom and would've sent him back home the moment they noticed him.

Hiagor: Intriging.

Jane: Found something out detective?

Hiagor: I just pieced some things together, and the result is quite interesting: A student that wasn't supposed to come to school today got a message telling him about the cameras being off for the morning. He took it as an opportunity to stay hidden at the empty classrooms in the 3rd floor in order to meet up with Tsuya...only to be found dead.

Jane: Yeah...That does sound...Ah! Wait, this means that there's a huge window of opportunity for the murder to happen. And since Zeelena saw Tsuya heading towards the 3rd floor a little before lunch...

Jane: Then the autopsy report might be the decisive evidence to prove his innocence.

Hiagor: Took the words right out of my mouth.

Jane: So, what do you think?

Girl: Well...I'll admit that you have a point. Where's this report?

Barry: Detective Johnson will arrive shortly with it. He's actually listening to this very conversation right now through a communicator.

Nadia: In the meantime, may you tell us your name?

Elora Cammar: ...I'm Elora...3rd year.

Jane: Nice to meet you Elora. I'm Jane Katherine. Jane Katy for short. I'm a 1st year like my friend Tsuya.

Elora: You two must be really close huh?

Jane: That we are.

Elora: Then here's an advice from your senior...You shouldn't be so trusting of people...you might get hurt when they do something horrible to you.

Jane: Hm?

Andressa: Then here's your advice from your other senior: Don't give up from the things you believe in, ya hear me?

Jane: Loud and Clear!

It was time to wait, the group started talking between themselves, discussing the events that transpired.


Daniella: Seems like Mr. Abata might not be the culprit after all.

Hyde: You still heard everything even when reading that book?

Nicholas: Her concentration is insane...and she's not even a psychic.

Hyde: Really? That's amazing.

Daniella: It isn't a natural talent. It's more like a habit I had to develop if I wanted to pay attention to my surroundings while still reading.

Italo: You really do love your books huh?

Daniella: You can say that. Now then, do you think that maybe the mysterious organization is responsable for this?

Mina: We don't really have evidence to back that up...but if we had a motive...I would say it's witness elimination, that's their usual way of operating.

Nicholas: Makes sense...

Hyde: Is that so?

Mina: Oh right, you're out on the loop of that one. Think about the Yusagi Getsuki case.

Hyde: Eh? Oh...You mean what happened with her was something like that?

Mina: Yes. She ended up finding a Compact Glaive Device from someone who was running from the Mysterious Organization. They tracked the signal of that glaive to her house and...you can imagine what happened next.

Hyde: ...Owch...

Zeelena: So that's what happened.

Mina: But yeah...We don't have anything to link them to this case, so let's question the culprit when the time comes.

Italo: Witness elimination...Did Vincent somehow find out that his killer was with the mysterious organization and he got killed for it?

Italo: We've been all suspecting that Tsuya might be a Psychic User because of his excellent talents...so it's hard to think he might be with that organization. He wasn't even aware that Vincent was hit with detention.

Italo: Urgh...a lot of "ifs" but nothing to confirm them...

Location: ???

Lucent opened his eyes and saw himself at a black space. Suddenly, it began to match a large room from a castle.


Lucent: Where is this...? Am I in the Nightmare Realm?

Lucent: No, this is different from it. I don't know what it is, but...

In the space he stood, only a mirror stood there. Lucent went to the mirror, looking deeply at his reflection.


Lucent: I promised to change... I promised that to Azura and everyone, but... will I be able to do it?

BGM: Aqua -0.2-

Suddenly the mirror began to glow as the reflection extended its hand towards Lucent. He backed off, surprised, as the reflection began to move on his own.


Lucent?: Your heart is hollow. It will never allow change for the fragile friendship you hold with others.

Lucent: W-What?! What is this? Why is my reflection-

The reflection rose its hands and summoned four giant wolves to rush at Lucent. He ran from their advance, as they went into a single line. The reflection called out the same grimoire he held and entered into battle position.


Lucent: Fragile...? My friendship with them is...

But before he could finish that line of thought, the reflection warped around until it came enveloped in dark flames from the sides. Lucent evaded it once again, but took a surprise strike from behind.


Lucent: Agh... I need to think later. This isn't the best moment for me to answer this question.

He called his grimoire and entered into battle position as well. At that moment, the whole world began to flicker like a television.
