Main Story Chapter 3: Unconditional Love Synopsis
At Kokatsu Academy, where the protagonist is enrolled, an educational consultant arrives with plans to reform the school’s policies.
Advocating a modern sense of “righteousness,” the consultant sets about improving the academy, but over time, the relationship between teachers and students begins to warp, and the school slowly transforms into something unsettling.
Riko Tanemura, an exceptional student and chair of the disciplinary committee, while being swept up in the “distortions born of righteousness” brought about by these reforms, gradually starts to perceive the strange changes taking hold.
How will the protagonist, Riko, and their allies stand against the “false righteousness” of an enemy who no one else recognizes as evil...?
▼Riko Tanemura (Code name: Wind) joins the group in Chapter 3.
A support character who acts as the party’s commander and strategist, leading them to land flashy All-Out Attacks.
Even when not targeting an enemy’s Weakness, she can lower the enemy’s Down Points, and at the start of battle, she boosts the entire party’s HP, Attack, and Defense. She also possesses the ability to increase All-Out Attack damage by as much as 60%.
