Sensei

"?!"

???

Emergency! Calling all members!

Prefect Team Member A

What...?!

???

I repeat! Calling all available units!

Prefect Team Members

!!!

Sensei

"Just what is...?"

"Hm? Why is the ground shaking...?!"

"Whoa!"

"*cough* *cough*"

Kasumi

Yo, look what the dogs dug up!

Your choice

"Kasumi!"

Kasumi

Wahaha! I knew you'd be caged up in here!

Hot Springs Department Member

President Kasumi, our mission to dig a tunnel to the Prefect Team prison is complete!

Kasumi

I can see that! And it's excellent! Good work, all of you.

And no welcoming party? Don't tell me they didn't see this coming. To think so little of the Hot Springs Department...

Did they think we'd be their loyal little hounds? Well, at least pulling a fast one like this entertained ME. Shame they missed it.

Which reminds me...

Sensei, let's break out!!!

Your choice

"Thank you all so much!"

Kasumi

Haha, we couldn't turn down a chance to rescue you, now could we?

And...

I wanted to send a message to the people who messed with Megu.

Now then. Let's get rolling, Sensei. We gotta blast before we're caught!

Prefect Team Member A

Wh-What the?! An ambush...?!

Prefect Team Member B

Where? And who?!

Ugh!

Prefect Team Member A

Oww!!!

Iori

Sorry, but it's time!

Prefect Team Underclassman A

Oh...so soon?

Iori

Very well. Let's hurry to the Main Building. We'll cover the strategy room.

Prefect Team Underclassman A

Yup! We're the distraction. She can't stop all of us.

Prefect Team Underclassman B

It's a bit scary...! But if we don't do it, who will?

Chinatsu

Yes. For we are the ones who hold the line.

Iori

It is our job to discipline those who cross it! Even if it's the Head Prefect!

Thirty minutes prior...

Iroha

So here's the mission.

Since Iori, Chinatsu, and the Prefect Team are running combat operations, I will refer to them as the "combat team."

Once the mission begins, the combat team will stir up a commotion and divert attention.

The combat team's ultimate objective is to reach Gehenna's Main Building, where the strategy room is.

The Pandemonium Society's elite forces and the Head Prefect are already there, waiting on standby.

The combat team's priority is to prevent the Head Prefect from noticing our actions in the broadcasting room. If she becomes alerted, then the team must prevent her from interfering.

Caren

Iori. Chinatsu. You think you can do this?

I'm not teasing, you know. I'm asking if you can aim the barrel at your own president.

Iori

...We have to.

Chinatsu

We must.

Even if the Head Prefect won't listen to us, we will keep fighting.

Iori

Aim, shoot, and fight on. Even if we lose, we'll send a message.

Iroha

...We're counting on you.

And while the combat team draws attention, the tech team will infiltrate the broadcasting room.

The tech team consists of Satsuki, Erika, and Kirara.

Erika and Kirara will alter the equipment so that it can independently transmit radio waves. Satsuki will configure the jamming frequency and transmit it throughout the academy.

The security around the broadcasting room will remain tight. Combat is inevitable.

And that's where Mayumi, Caren, and the Heritage League members come in.

Caren

Leave it to us.

Mayumi

We'll be fine as long as Caren's with us. Of course, we'll also give it our all.

Iroha

And Chiaki.

Chiaki

Yes!

Iroha

Your mission is to escort Sensei, who will be freed at this point, all the way to the battlefield.

The Hot Springs Department will break Sensei out while the combat team draws attention.

Please escort Sensei safely to battle sites that require specialized command.

Chiaki

You got it!

Iroha

This will not be easy.

Everyone in Gehenna knows what Sensei looks like. You might end up skirmishing with students looking to recapture them.

You need to escort Sensei safely through all that.

Chiaki

Don't worry about it! As the chief reporter of the Weekly Pandemonium Society, I'm an expert at stealth.

Iroha

...And Erika, Kirara, Satsuki.

All of this depends on you. Your roles are exceptionally important.

Success is contingent on whether you can set up the jamming frequency and broadcast it across the entire academy in time.

...If you blast the wrong frequency, we fail. If our theory doesn't hold, we fail. If the transmission doesn't go through, we fail.

For us to win, you have to undo the brainwashing while the combat team is holding the line.

...Oh, our odds do NOT sound good when I lay it all out like this.

Satsuki

Iroha.

Iroha

...Yes.

Satsuki

Don't worry, my friend. I won't fail.

Neither will this mission, nor will we.

We're fighting to save our friends, our loved ones. We shall prevail.

Iroha

...Satsuki, since when did you become so resolute?

Satsuki

Oh my. I always was, Iroha.

Erika

Fufu. Don't you worry. We'll make it work.

Kirara

Ye-ah! And we'll put a little twinkle on it!

Iroha

...Yes. I'm sure you will.

Satsuki

Iroha, that means you're coordinating the overall mission. You will be our eyes.

Iroha

Yes. Leave the operations to me.

Now then...

Let us commence Operation: Recapture Gehenna!

Pandemonium Society Member

Over there! Traitors!

Prefect Team Member

Everyone, attack! Don't back down!

Pandemonium Society Member

Augh!!!

Iori

All eyes are on us...

Chinatsu

They're gathering reinforcements, but it's still manageable.

Iori

...And what about the Head Prefect?

Iroha

Confirmation, Hina is still inside the main building!

Iori

...Got it! Proceed with the plan!

Chinatsu

Let's go, Iori.

Iori

Head Prefect...!
