Fanfic / A Courier For Kivotos

♫ Blue Moon... now I'm no longer alone... ♫ ^note Cover art by u/NineColt

Yuuka: "Sensei, who is 'Johnny Guitar'?"
Courier Six: "He's a guy who's cold on the exterior, but deep down you know, he's a good man."
Yuuka: "Is that supposed to be a reference to something?"
Courier Six: "Maybe."

A Courier for Kivotos is crossover between Fallout: New Vegas and Blue Archive written by Unknown Sixth on FF.net and Archive of Our Own.

The Mojave Wasteland is an okay place to live - well, that's what the Courier thought.

Having won the Second Battle for Hoover Dam for Yes Man and himself, Courier Six - current leader of an independent New Vegas, is mysteriously teleported into the office of the General Student Council of Kivotos, following the recent disappearance of the enigmatic Student Council President. Under the new title of 'Six-Sensei', he takes charge of yet another city on the brink of all-out-war - using the plethora of unorthodox skills acquired in the harsh world of Post-Nuclear America to bring his own flavour of order and justice to SCHALE and the students of Kivotos.

Settling into his new 'teaching' job as well as meeting new companions in the SCHALE task force, the Courier eventually realizes that with no small amount of help from himself, the Academy City of Kivotos might also be an okay place to live as well.

Play the guitar; Play it again, my Troper...

• 24-Hour Armor: Six wears his full armor and guns wherever he goes, even if its signing documents in the comfortable air-conditioned SCHALE office. Arona is concerned for his spine's condition, but the Courier assures his [Strong Back] and [Pack Rat] perks makes it a non-issue.
• Addiction-Powered: Averted. Six chooses to scale back his frequent usage of drugs and stimulants since he is expected to be a good example to his students. Although that doesn't mean he'll use it when he has no choice as shown in Chapter 17.
• Atomic F-Bomb: The Courier as 'Vance' screams at a Stygian Bank guard to "get back on the ground, fucking profligate!". Notably the first F-Bomb dropped in the fic.
• Badass Boast: Six assures the mob of reporters and representatives that order will be restored to Kivotos in very few sentences.
  Student: That's what they've been telling us the past few days!
  Six: I am not 'them'. And I do not make false promises, nor do I give empty platitudes. I guarantee you control will be back in the hands of your respective academies in short order.
  Student: S-so then if you aren't with the General Student Council, who are you?
  Six: Me? I'm just a teacher.
• Berserk Button:
  • Six admits to Hoshino that one of the main reasons for helping Abydos was that he loathes the thought of bullies muscling over the helpless via extortion, which not too dissimilar to his experiences in the Mojave.
  • The Kaiser PMC group becomes a shoot-on-sight policy with the Courier as soon as he discovers their indirect involvement in the suffering of Abydos High School and their debt issues. In fact, when their treachery becomes clear, he nearly waltzed into their bank with the intent to literally nuke them. It doesn't help that their name reminds him of Caesar's Legion who were his most hated enemies back in the Mojave Wasteland.
• Bullet Time: Six constantly makes use of either V.A.T.S or Implant GRX by aiming for enemy weak spots, which gives him an edge over the Kivotos students even if they have the advantage of shields from their halos.
• …But He Sounds Handsome: Confronted with pictures of 'Vance' (Six in disguise) robbing the Stygian Bank, the Courier playfully answers Hina's question to why 'Vance' is being investigated by everyone is that maybe he was too handsome.
• Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Coming from the wasteland that is Mojave desert, Sensei is understandably unfamiliar with modern terminology of Kivotos.
  • He accidentally keeps referring to money as caps, much to the confusion of the girls.
  • He identifies the Peroro dolls as 'mutant radchickens' due to their demented looks, even after Hifumi corrects him.
• Call-Back
  • Six references Benny's classic line upon seeing the modern skyline of Kivotos for the first time.
    Six: "What in the goddamn..."
  • He also uses Benny's line from when he shot him in the beginning of the game on the PMC Director before trying to execute him:
    Six: From where you're kneeling this must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck.
    Six: Truth is…
    Six: ...The game was rigged from the start.]]
  • When he links with the Shittim Chest, he appears in Arona's digital world dressed exactly the same as any player would on a new playthrough of New Vegas; Doc Mitchell's old Vault 21 jumpsuit, a Pip-Boy 3000, a single 9mm Pistol with few ammunition, and a couple of stimpacks. In fact, he felt so uncomfortable being so underequipped that he tells Arona to manifest his usual gear the next time he visits her world.
  • He also mentions having actually looted ALL of the Sierra Madre gold bars from the events of the Dead Money DLC ^ExplanationA difficult feat due to the gold's weight over-encumbering players easily as well as a myriad of other factors purposefully making it hard to evacuate all of the gold on time. However with some exploits and the right amount of planning, it is doable. Unfortunately for him, he neglected to bring any of it with him to Kivotos.
  • In the beginning of the Foreclosure Task Force arc, Six regales the tall tale of Vikki and Vance (minus the Epic Fail side of their story) to an impressed Shiroko. When the Abydos students are discussing codenames for the Stygian Bank heist, an excited Shiroko has already decided on hers and Six-Sensei's; Vikki and Vance respectively.
  • The huge stockpile of explosives he liberated from Wakamo in Chapter 3 is liberally used by Six throughout the story.
• The Casanova: Six takes advantage of his [Lady Killer] perk to charm and steer conversations with the ladies of Kivotos in his favor. However he notes not to abuse it when he gets the full attention of Wakamo. It works with Shun but this also allows Chinatsu to hear and report back to Hina about Six's characteristics including being a "womanizer". Shiroko did not like that.
• Character Catchphrase: Six regularly introduces himself with a, "Howdy!", with or without Stealth Hi/Bye.
• Character Name Alias:
  • When the Problem Solver 68 crew meets with Six for the first time, he introduces himself as 'Texas Red' which is the name of the outlaw described in Marty Robbins' song, Big Iron. Not only did he use that name, the fake backstory he feeds Aru and Haruka is pretty much the lyrics of the song with sprinklings of other New Vegas songs, since Kivotos hasn't heard Old World music before. Kayoko doesn't buy any of it and Mutsuki just plays along for sheer amusement. Later Arona (who has listened to the song repeatedly) lampshades that something bad happens to Texas Red in the end of the song and warns Sensei not to tempt fate by using the name.
  • Shiroko enthusiastically suggests the names of infamous outlaws Vikki & Vance for her and Sensei's nicknames during the Stygian Bank heist. It's to the point she enjoys to call Sensei "Vance" after their heist.
• Children Are Innocent: Despite quickly adjusting to the new reality of schoolgirls firing guns at each other while being magically protected by their halos, he still refuses to reveal anything to the girls about his darker experiences back in the Mojave Wasteland, probably due to this trope and the lack of actual deaths seen in Kivotos thus far.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Shiroko dotes on Six a lot and gets very envious whenever other girls try to make their move on him in front of her. The Courier compares her posture during such incidents to be of one of "a wild animal protecting its territory".
• Continuity Nod
  • The Courier in this canon is said to have taken the Independent Vegas route with Yes Man; where he had taken Hoover Dam after slaying Legate Lanius and defeating Caesar's Legion. Despite also having effectively booted the NCR Army out of the New Vegas Strip, he still maintains somewhat friendly relations with individual members such as Chief Hanlon and the Misfits which keeps him off the NCR's hit-list for now.
  • Six managed to obtain music holotapes of music from the Capital Wasteland, the Commonwealth and the Appalachia region. He also knows about the rise of The Institute and their Synths in the Commonwealth prior to being teleported to Kivotos.
  • Most, if not all of Six's personal arsenal brought over from the Mojave are rare Named Weapons, such as Ratslayer, A Light Shining in Darkness, Compliance Regulator, This Machine, All-American, etc.
  • Six makes a small connection of the halos and Theme Naming of the schools; Trinity and Gehenna in particular, then wonders if Joshua Graham would have been a better fit as Sensei. He dismisses this when he remembers that Gehenna's naming association with demonic cultures and thinks a Church Militant like Joshua might mistake them for enemies.
  • Arona changes the Pip-Boy's Status Tab digital interface to her infamous crudely-drawn doodle of her Sensei, to the latter's displeasure.
• Depleted Phlebotinum Shells: The Foreclosure Task Force students notice that the Courier's newly supplied ammo has much more kick than usual rounds. Apparently hand-crafted ammunition personally made by Six is somehow much more powerful than clean, factory-produced rounds, apparently credited by his high skill in crafting.
• Didn't Think This Through: Six didn't think having a halo as a male would be ground-breaking news to the people of Kivotos as Hina claims there has never ever been a male with a halo. Because of that, she tells him Abydos is being highly focused on by the other schools. Considering that the girls didn't exactly tell him they've never seen a male with a halo, he probably would have never donned it.
• Digitized Hacker: Arona becomes this when she manages to temporarily transfer her consciousness between the Shittim Chest and the Courier's Pip-Boy 3000, which is noted to be nigh un-hackable in the Fallout-verse. She does find RobCo.'s interface to be clunky and too archaic for her tastes, but eventually gets used to it enough that she even manages to change Pip-Boy into a stylized version of herself and being able to draw on Vault-Boy's face with her famous doodle.
• The Dreaded: On the very first day in Kivotos, Six-Sensei had already gained a fearful reputation amongst the student bodies due to numerous KivoTube videos featuring him single-handedly taking out scores of delinquents and a Crusader tank. The remaining Kata-Kata Helmet gang straight-up flees the Abydos district after realizing Sensei was the reason for their failed attempt at kidnapping Serika.
  • Played for Laughs with Hifumi, under her 'Faust' disguise. 'Vance' (Six-Sensei) hypes her up to be some kind of dangerous, hair-trigger lunatic and commits some extra crimes under her name while on the run from the black market police. It's to the point that even Wakamo knows Faust's achievements.
• Dumpster Dive: Scavenging bottlecaps and bullet casings left in dumpsters is Six's favorite hobby brought over from the resource-scarce Wasteland despite Kivotos' comparable excesses. This is also how he first meets Miyu when he discovers her hiding in her iconic recycle bin.
• Early-Bird Cameo
  • Both members of the Public Safety Bureau are part of the Valkyrie Police Squad sent to help retake the SCHALE building in the prologue chapters.
  • Sorasaki Hina, Head Prefect of Gehenna personally comes down to meet with Six-Sensei for a one-on-one conversation before Ako can initiate her operation to capture Sensei.
  • Six-Sensei bumps into Miyu during a dumpster dive, long before he starts the SRT arc.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The Courier goes by 'Six-Sensei' since the GSC was only ever given his moniker of 'Six' after the President's disappearance. Everyone also refers to poor Yuuka as 'Seminar', much to her annoyance.
• Expecting Someone Taller: After hearing about the Head Prefect from Chinatsu, Six imagines her as a very tall and muscular person with a huge gun twice her size (which the second part is true), deathclaw horns on her head, and a spiky halo. When he finally meet Hina, he didn't expect her to be so tiny.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: Courier Six finds the modern world of Kivotos a wonder and a yet another challenge to overcome. He is awed by the internet and social media's ability to spread information at lightning's pace. He also discovers that their computers and digital interfaces are much smaller and more intuitive than the bulky Zeerust computing machinery of pre-war America. The only thing that he finds familiarity with is the overabundance of firearms, bullets and explosives.
• Follow the Chaos: When Aru invites Six-Sensei over to her crews' office but honestly forgot to tell him where it was, Ayane guides him via the trail of destroyed robots and fallen mercenaries, which Problem Solver 68 left behind after their former employers turned on them.
• Friendly Sniper: Six covers the Foreclosure Task Force students with his Anti-Material Rifle during his first skirmish against the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang and efficiently picks enemies off with high-explosive rounds that Serika compares the bullets to as "frag-grenades".
• Gadgeteer Genius: While initially very clueless of modern tech such as smartphones, compact PCs and the internet, he can quite easily repair his own equipment thanks to having the [Jury Rigging] perk as well as being very familiar with Vault-Tec equipment. That being said, he does quickly adapt to microchips and eventually starts tinkering with Kivotos tech, even once managing to repair an air conditioner with random junk, which mystifies the Kivotos denizens to no end.
• Gilligan Cut: Aru, motivated by 'Texas Red's rousing words confidently tells herself that their operation against Abydos High might not go so badly. Cue the very next scene of her eating her own words when Problem Solver 68 and their hired goons encounter endless landmines on their way to the school grounds.
• Hypocritical Humor: Miyu, currently sitting in a recycle bin questions Six-Sensei on why would he be scavenging through trash bins.
• Innocent Innuendo: The dialogue between Serika and her leader Hoshino in Chapter 14 is laced with this, until it's revealed that the former was simply giving the latter a back massage.
• Invisibility Cloak: The Courier uses his Stealth Boy to great effect, sowing chaos behind enemy lines. He does note it's limited use while in Kivotos unless he can find a way to repair them or find new ones to replace the used up ones.
• Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Downplayed. The Fallout-verse laser and plasma weaponry is unknown to Kivotos, even to the students of the high-tech Millennium Science School. Despite their usefulness in combat, Six has to ration their usage since Kivotos stores and logistics don't sell the tools and radioactive ingredients for Sensei to even jury-rig drained energy/microfusion cells. He still gets by fine as most of his regular firearms utilize the same types of ammo readily available in Kivotos, on top of his hand-crafted cartridge loads.
• Lampshade Hanging: Six complains that Mr. Vegas only seems to play the same three songs on repeat and blames him for the limited holotapes he can use for his listening pleasures.
• Large Ham: Six ramps up his bombastic nature up to eleven when he introduces himself to Aru as 'Texas Red'. He also goes completely ham in his 'Vance' disguise during the Stygian Bank robbery of the Black Market.
• Left the Background Music On: Six enjoys playing pre-War American music on his Pip-Boy and leaves it on whenever he wants to set the mood when meeting new people. In one instance an annoyed Serika yells at Six-Sensei to turn it off during a heartfelt conversation.
• Like a Duck Takes to Water: Six-Sensei takes to the modern, un-apocalyptical conveniences of Kivotos quite easily. It helps that he humbly does request for help with new tech and that the students are all too eager to teach him without judging him too harshly. On the reverse spectrum, Shiroko enthusiastically picks up the art of sneaking and lockpicking from her Sensei rather fast.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Problem Solver 68 are much quicker to turn on Kaiser after witnessing the spectacle that is the Masked Swimsuit Gang's brazen daytime heist. Starting with Haruka blowing up the Stygian Bank right after the thieves leave.
• Not Hyperbole: Many of Sensei's claims/threats makes no sense to the Kivotos girls, but in the context of the more wacky aspects of New Vegas, are certainly unfiltered truths.
  • Vice-President Rin doesn't believe him when he claims that he's managed an entire city before arriving at Kivotos. Seeing as this version of Courier Six took the Independent Vegas route with Yes Man, it's certainly not an exaggeration on his part.
  • He tells Arona that he's been literally lobotomized before (courtesy of The Think Tank in Old World Blues DLC). She doesn't think it's a funny joke.
  • Fuuka is aghast when Sensei reveals that before Kivotos he's used to eating 200-year old preserved food from the Old World.
  • When the FTF asks if he's an assassin aside being a teacher, he simply says yes to their horror. He passes it off as a joke.
• Not So Similar: Parodied in a conversation between Six and Arona about 'couriers' being the same as 'mailmen'. Six (rather correctly) spells it out for her that mailmen work public addresses and routes determined by government entities while couriers work as private contractors. Arona stubbornly clings to the fact that couriers can still (but not exclusively) handle mail, therefore courier = mailman. Six, tired of arguing with her just shrugs and goes, "Sure, Let's Go with That".
• One-Woman Army: Wakamo engages an entire base of Kaiser PMC troops as a distraction while Six steals documents from their HQ tent. After seeing her spectacular results, he reckons that she may legitimately be able to single-handedly take down Kaiser's operations in Abydos if properly motivated.
• Outside-Context Problem: The Courier's antics in Abydos shakes the power dynamics across Kivotos. This brings him a lot of unwanted attention from the intelligence services of other major schools like the Gehenna Prefect Council.
  • While disguised as 'Vance', his fake halo throws off everyone else not in the know, since males with halos were unheard of before Six's arrival.
  • The Mysterious Stranger summoned by V.A.T.S brings the direct attention of the Head Prefect of Gehenna, alarmed by the appearance of yet another unauthorized halo-less (non-robot) adult in Kivotos.
• Pet the Dog: Hina lets a Kata-Kata Helmet gang member off the hook and even offers to pay a commission fee if the gangster makes good on her promise to get their artist buddy to draw an accurate reference of The Mysterious Stranger. Ako questions Hina on her sudden act of charity, but Hina cites pragmatic incentive as they're desperate for information on Six-Sensei and his companions.
• Pistol-Whipping: At one point Serika is ordered by Hoshino to give a back massage using the buttstock of a shotgun.
• Poor Communication Kills: A near miss. Six-Sensei tells Shiroko to get the takeout food while he has an one-on-one conversation with Hina. Shiroko mistakes his emphasis on 'takeout' to be some codeword for 'bring backup to take (her) out', and returns with the rest of the Foreclosure Task Force and Problem Solver 68 by the time the conversation ends. Luckily Six defuses the situation, incredulous on how Shiroko could have perceived his words as a signal for 'ambush with overwhelming force'.
• Power Armor: In earlier chapters the Courier is shown to have built a suit of T-51 power armour, hidden and covered with a tarp in SCHALE's basement. In Chapter 14, he finally puts it on right before the battle alongside the Foreclosure Task Force against Kaiser.
• Power Fist: Six wields several powered gauntlets. Apparently hanging around Veronica for a long time gave him an permeant inclination for explosive punches.
• Properly Paranoid: After taking control of SCHALE, he doesn't simply hand over control of the Sanctum Tower to the GSC until they answer his questions. Even then, he only agrees to do so after setting two conditions; veto power in meetings and ability to abdicate his position at any time. When Rin angrily questions his motives for the first condition, Six lays it out for her; too many unknowns on the Courier's part and the fact he simply doesn't trust anyone, especially with regards to the previous President's disappearance.
• Robot Buddy: ED-E, now rebuilt using a backed up personality and Kivotos parts. Arona and Nonomi are quickly enamoured upon meeting him.
• Running Gag
  • Yuuka being referred to her parent organization, "Seminar".
  • Six calling Peroro-sama, a radchicken.
  • Courier constantly on the hunt for bottle caps and then reminding himself of their useless value in Kivotos.
  • Six is apparently fond of the stories of Texas Red and the Vikki & Vance crime duo as he enjoys sharing their tales to the Kivotos girls with a few liberties added.
  • Serina saying "She had a feeling" when asked how she knew where Sensei was at.
  • Shiroko comes to calling the Courier "Vance" after their raid on the Stygian Bank. He has to tell her to dial it down since he doesn't want suspicion to be cast on him. She reluctantly agrees to not call him that name much.
  • The Courier's love for punching things, having rubbed off of Veronica's skills back in the Mojave.
• Science Hero: Aside from Six's combat prowess, he also knowledgeable over several scientific fields like biology, physics and chemistry. Yuuka, the Millennium Science School treasurer is fairly impressed by Six's logical and scientific approach to problems, even if it eats into the budget.
• Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: Some Fallout game mechanics are lampshaded into the plot.
  • The Courier acknowledges his and others' traits and skills as a player would via S.P.E.C.I.A.L, such as his ability to fix anything with random scrap - manifesting as the [Jury Rigging] perk, intimidating delinquents with [Terrifying Presence] perk, noting Kayoko's [Perception] being high, etc.
  • The [Mysterious Stranger] perk physically manifests said person out of nowhere when the Courier tries to take a V.A.T.S-assisted shot at an enemy tank for extra damage. The Stranger's .44 Magnum somehow manages to obliterate the tank in one shot (and five more double-taps) which freaks out the nearby gangsters out with his sudden appearance. He also comes in to shot down the Goliath with five shots with the students witnessing him at last.
• "Shut Up!" Gunshot: Overwhelmed by an angry crowd of student representatives, the Courier introduces himself to Kivotos by firing a single round from Joshua Graham's pistol (A Light Shining in Darkness) into the air to silence the crowd.
• Spanner in the Works: Thanks to Six's explosive actions at Abydos, the full retreat of the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang brings the full attention of Gehenna's Head Prefect Hina; curious to why a notorious delinquent gang was suddenly behaving well. Interrogation of one of the gangsters revealed the existence of the Mysterious Stranger to her, prompting an early investigation into Sensei and SCHALE on her part, which ruins Ako's plans of an armed incursion into Abydos.
• The Spook: The Mysterious Stranger's real identity is unknown to everyone; not even the Courier can explain the former's presence to Hina when she enquires about the Stranger.
• Stealth Expert: Courier Six notably has high [Sneak] as he has mastered the art of Stealth Hi/Bye, pickpockets anyone with ease and can even reverse pickpocket targets, demonstrated in Chapter 9 when he manages to go up to the PS68 without making any sounds, steal Aru's ID card from her wallet when it was still on her person and slip an entire block of C4 into explosives expert Mutsuki's pocket, completely unnoticed. On top of that, he becomes an absolute nightmare whenever he uses a Stealth Boy. Even the most perceptive of characters are still unable to locate him while he rains high explosives completely invisible.
• Surpassed the Teacher: Six-Sensei reveals to Shiroko that he had learnt close combat from different teachers, including those from the Legion's praetorians. In a sense, he plays the trope straight as he ended up turning against the Legion and probably killed his former instructors along the way.
• Supreme Chef: Six, who has only known irradiated-Wasteland cuisine prior to Kivotos, is absolutely floored by Fuuka's relatively modest cooking skills. He immediately hires her during her SCHALE interview after only one spoonful of her beef noodle soup.
• Take That!
  • Upon hearing Arona's sleep-talking ramblings about pineapple on pizza, the Courier, despite not knowing much about pizzas still finds the idea horrible.
  • Reading KivoTube comments about his recent exploits, he finds most of them creepy and disturbing.
    ClubSmoochie67: I want Sensei to correct me too...
  • He hates modern music that plays on the Kivotos airwaves. After listening to the first minute of Austin Dieber's "Baby", he promptly turns it off.
• Theseus' Ship Paradox: Discussed. Arona questions the Courier if the rebuilt ED-E would be the same entity as the Wasteland version since it was remade with Kivotos tech and parts. The Courier still thinks of the new ED-E as the same owing to the backed-up personality/memory core that he installed into the new body.
• Translator Microbes: Six apparently has cybernetic implants which helps translate audio languages to English, and his own speech to Japanese. It doesn't work for written languages however. Luckily for him, some characters do know a bit of English and the Kivotos internet has plenty of English content.
• Trapped in Another World: The Courier was transported into the GSC office after meeting an apparition of the missing GSC President in the middle of the Mojave. Initially he was unhappy with being unable to return to New Vegas, which is why he demands a clause into his contract with the GSC; the ability to drop his duties in SCHALE the moment he can find a way back home.
• Unscrupulous Hero: Six-Sensei isn't exactly the best of role models to his students; he condones looting of defeated enemies, wholeheartedly backs the bank heist, is more than willing to kill the PMC Director and even keeps the stolen money against the morals of the Abydos students but he does go the extra mile to help those in need and fights any injustice he comes across.
• Violence is the Only Option: Enforced by the Courier. Hoshino offers a chance for the Courier to have an audience with the Kaiser CEO and even Black Suit. Drawing experience from the Wasteland, he deduces it to be a fruitless gesture assuming that Kaiser already has a set agenda and will never abide by any agreement. In fact, the Courier wants to demolish them regardless for what they've put Abydos through.
• Weak, but Skilled: While lacking the protection of the Kivotos population's halos, he still gets by his Elite Riot Gear armour set as well as the assortment of gadgets and weapons brought over from New Vegas. Not to mention, his cybernetic augments help with his endurance and health.
• What the Hell, Hero?: The entire Foreclosure Task Force gives Six-Sensei one after he informs them of his recent (not-really) lone recon/assault on Kaiser PMC. They berate him for not depending on his students more for help and also risking his life unnecessarily, leading him to feel weirded out about their concerns.
• Worthless Currency: During Six's first trip to Angel 24 Mart he quickly realizes that his amassed hoard of bottlecaps are worth absolutely nothing in the civilized un-apocalyptic city of Kivotos.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: At first, until the Courier realizes the students are literally impenetrable thanks to their halos. That said, he either threatens them or takes them out quickly enough that they are incapacitated to not further hurt them.
• Would Hurt a Child: While the Courier does so as everyone is basically trigger-happy with guns and explosives, he doesn't go beyond knocking them out quickly. Courtesy of some unscrupulous adults like the PMC Director and Black Suit.
  • Black Suit, in fact, views the students to be experiments instead of human beings and finds the responsibility of an adult a trite. This leads to Six being extremely disgusted with him as he details what he was going to do with Hoshino if she signed the contract.
• You Didn't Ask: Arona gives this answer when Six questions why she neglected to mention her ability to provide him external energy shields prior to it's usage.
