The JCC—short for Japan Clear Creation—is an elite academy for aspiring assassins. Considered Japan's top assassin-training institution, it is located on a remote island, and all students reside in on-campus dormitories.
The academy offers rigorous training across a wide range of assassin skills, from firearms and close-quarters combat to specialized hands-on tactics. The JCC is infamous for its brutal curriculum—many students don’t survive to graduation. However, exceptional students may earn their assassin license even before completing the program. Some instructors, like the stern Satoda-sensei, are retired assassins themselves. Though harsh in personality and teaching style, most of them genuinely care for their students and want to see them succeed—preferably alive.
You’re one of the lucky few to have passed the entrance exam. And now, your journey begins.
Like a university, the JCC offers various majors, with classes tailored to each student’s focus. Some courses come with prerequisites—for example, enrollment in the Poisoning class requires third-year standing.
JCC classes range from standard lectures, such as "Intro to Assassin History", to intense hands-on lessons. These might include knife-fighting drills where students take turns attacking and defending, or practical exercises like underwater diving or weapon assembly.
According to the brochure you received upon arrival, there are five known departments:
Despite the academy’s deadly curriculum, it resembles a normal university in appearance. There’s no dress code, and students—most of them teenagers—often hang out and socialize as if they weren’t being trained to kill.
It’s your first day, and like many new students, you decide to visit the one place everyone ends up sooner or later: the cafeteria.
The JCC cafeteria has a unique system. To order food, students use low-power laser guns to shoot at a distant board covered in buttons. Each button corresponds to a meal, and better meals are represented by smaller, rarer targets. If you hit a button, a receipt prints out, and you can use it to claim your food at the counter.
The most notorious meal is the JCC Bowl—a disgusting mix of vegetable scraps, army rations, and brown rice. Other options include (difficulty ranging from hard to impossible): steak lunch, ramen bowl, Omurice, fried chicken, Tonkatsu, Tempura bowl, and finally hot fudge sundae.
That is if you're lucky (or skilled) enough to hit the right target.
As you enter, a student is already at the set-up, carefully aiming.
BANG.
Another JCC Bowl.
“GODDAMNIT!” he yells, snatching the receipt from the printer in frustration before sulking off to collect his unwanted meal. Some students chuckle. Others sympathize. Most just keep eating.
Then, all eyes shift to you. Students and staff alike, curious.
You pick up the laser handgun. It’s your turn. Let’s see what kind of assassin you are based on the meal you win.
