Puzzle (パズル)

Students of Tokumen High School

We have taken control of the school

We hope you can play a game with us.

There are 2000 puzzle pieces hidden around the school.

You have to find all the pieces and complete the puzzle.

However, the time limit is 24 hours, up till tomorrow noon.

If you are unable to complete the puzzle, the hostages will be killed.

Sit.

Yes.

You're Yuasa Shiogu right?

Yes.

Nervous?

A bit.

It's okay if you're nervous.

Well, it's probably better if you aren't.

By the way, have you read the report on this case yet?

No.

"Terrorists take control of elite high school, 13 high school students taken as hostages for 24 hours."

"Guns and bullets"

"Puzzle"

"Lynch"

I think the media and police do not know the truth behind this case

Besides the few of you

We are not investigating you, we just want to know the truth.

The truth?

Yes, the truth that only the few of you know

And your real feelings too.

I can't understand the puzzle of this case.

Puzzle?

brought to you by d.r.e.g.s.s.

Can you explain in detail about the special training program?

During the holidays, only students of Class A participated in this special training class.

Everyone was in school to study.

Like a camp?

Yes.

But your high school selects elites from the whole country, so all of you should be top students right?

That is because we still have to strive towards higher targets.

I see.

This is the tradition of Tokumen School

Only students of Class A can participate in this special training.

Special privileges?

Yes, I guess so.

What is your view of your teacher Mr. Yasuda?

This year's special training has begun.

"Special Training Schedule"

As you all know, this special training is only for Third Year Class A

That is, only the best students can attend the most advanced course.

Yes.

These few days will be fast-paced, with very little sleeping time.

Those who are unable to keep up will be kicked out.

Do you understand, everyone?

Yes!

Hand me that.

Who gave you permission to bring your handphone here?

I'm sorry.

Focus all your energies on studying!

Ye...Yes

All of you listen up!

Once you start working, everyday will be war, with competition against others!

Only people who are capable can survive!

Yes!

Look at the people sitting around you.

Distance yourself from the people that you see now.

Use any means to be ahead of them.

Yes!

Do your very best until you reach the top.

Umm...

He always thinks a lot for us.

He is...

He is a very passionate teacher.

I believe I have said this before, I want to hear your true feelings.

That's what I really think about him.

Is that so? Then let's change the subject.

Do you still remember how many students were in Class A in the beginning?

Around ten...

19 people, there are 10 now.

9 students gave up.

Do you still keep in touch with these people after that?

No.

Not even once?

We were not that close with each other.

And they seem not to want to meet us.

Why would you think so?

They all left because they could not keep up.

So they would not want to meet up with those of us who have managed to keep up.

Mitome Naoya is one of them right?

Do you still have any impression of him?

Very honest, low profile, can't remember much about him.

That day he came to school to submit his application to transfer school?

Yes.

What did you think of him since you last saw him 3 months ago?

Yuasa-kun.

Mitome-kun, why are you here today?

I have found a new school. I'm here to submit my application to transfer school.

Is that so? That's great.

Oh yes, I almost forgot that I kept this in my pocket.

Locker key?

Can you help to clear out the stuff inside?

I should do this by myself.

But there is special training today so everyone is here right?

I still don't want to meet them.

I understand, I will help you.

Thank you, Yuasa-kun.

Today might also be the last day that we meet.

He told me today will be the last time.

It made me very concerned.

Very concerned? Why?

It's like he is going to some faraway place. I don't know how to describe it.

Did both of you talk about any other things?

No.

We went on our own ways shortly.

After that you went to the classroom and Mitome went to the staff room.

And then this case happened.

These are the documents for school transfer.

Everything is inside. Bring it to the new school.

Yes.

Teacher...

What's the matter? You still have something to say? I'm very busy.

Ah yes, work hard at your new school.

Here you are the bottom of the class, but you shouldn't have any problems over there.

Yes.

Then I'll take my leave.

Don't move.

When this case happened, all of you were having the second lesson right?

Yes.

What was the situation in the classroom? Did any student panic?

No, all were very calm.

At first everyone thought that someone was just playing a prank.

Students of Tokumen High School

We have taken control of the school, including all students and teachers.

If you do not obey our instructions, the hostages will be killed

Teacher, this is....

What is this about?

Is someone playing a prank?

Teacher, please go and stop him quickly

The first instruction:

Students of Class 3A, go to the music room now.

I repeat

Students of Class 3A, go to the music room now.

What's happening?

If it is a prank, it is a bit too complicated

So everyone began to understand what was happening, right?

Yes.

Ms Konno went to check and came back saying that the situation was very critical in the staff room.
