I try to find out everything I can about the New Guy, but it’s not a lot. He transferred in from New Tokyo Polytechnic, but I don’t know anyone from there I could ask for gossip. He’s taking a normal roster of classes, but rarely speaks. Even though he’s collected a gaggle of girls and a few boys following him wherever he goes, he ignores his admirers completely.

“I bet he’s a secret agent,” Ru says. “He’s spying.”

“On what?”

“I don’t know. Just on something.”

What can there possibly be to spy on at Cherry Blossom High School?

“Or an undercover cop, like in the movies. He’s going to make a drug bust and set the whole school in an uproar.”

“As long as he waits to do it after the Spring Dance.”

The guy stands in the doorway of the lunch room and just … watches. I’m not thinking it’s drugs because with the city falling apart and the police on strike, would they really send someone to bust drugs at a high school? This has to be bigger than that, which means he’s a government agent. There’s an international spy ring made up of teachers. Or a secret cavern under the school with a breeding den of giant monsters.

“I bet the school is home to a secret laboratory creating superheroes,” I say, and Miki and Ru just stare at me. I keep going. “You know, like some of our fellow students may in fact be superheroes in disguise, with strange mental and physical powers. There’s a secret high-tech gymnasium under the real gymnasium where they do their training.”

Miki says, “If there are secret superheroes, why don’t they do something to save the city?”

That is a very good question.
