Class: Class S1-1 |
| Responsibilities: Detective Club Vice-president | |
| Student File: Raised as one of a circus's greatest attractions, "Wild Child" grew up like a feral child. His story caught the attention of famous educators, who, out of curiosity, paid for his freedom and sent him to Demori Academy. On the day of the school's opening ceremony, an unexpected accident allowed his partner to infiltrate the old Detective Club, leading him to solve the Club's "Coronation Riddle." Since then, he has become the new vice-president of the Detective Club, known publicly as its president.

 |
Class: Class S1-1 |
| Responsibilities: Detective Club Member | |
| Student File: Alongside "Wild Child," he struggles to pass his classes.

However, this notoriety is confined to the world outside Demori. Within the academy, he belongs to the most overlooked group, receiving neither ridicule nor attention. The "elite" students ignore him, with dirt and grime perpetually under his nails, never noticing his absences or caring about his returns. | |

 |
Class: Class R1-2 |
| Responsibilities: Gardening Club President | |

 |
Class: Class A1-1 |

Case File[]
 During the annual cricket tournament, the Honor Carriage carrying the team to Roche Academy overturned, leaving players with varying degrees of injury. Just when it seemed this misfortune would bring an end to Demori Academy's winning streak, a substitute batter stepped up, reversing the score in the final moments and becoming the school's hero. However, what appeared to be a simple accident turned out to be a carefully orchestrated scheme. The Detective Club seized the moment to acquire a letter from "Orpheus" bringing them closer to the truth behind the clock tower fire. |
 Wick, the loyal post dog of the campus courier "Signal," set out at noon to deliver letters but never returned that night. A sudden downpour washed away all traces of his path. Following the trail, the Detective Club visited recipients from the previous day in search of clues to Wick's disappearance, and in doing so, they accidentally lifted the veil on the uneasy secrets lying just beneath the school's calm surface. |
 A year ago, a mysterious fire engulfed the clock tower, claiming the life of "Nightingale." The former president of the Detective Club, "Orpheus," launched an investigation and vowed to reveal the truth on the School Open Day. Yet, on the eve of the event, he vanished without a trace. The school ruled that the blaze has been caused by "Sixpence" smoking near the tower and expelled him. The club's new president, "Wild Child," later obtained key testimony from "Plank": on the day of the incident, "Nightingale" had entered the tower with "Warning Letter" and "Swan" shortly before the fire broke our. But the real story seems far more tangled than it first appears. |
