BLUE

Detective Training Academy BLUE (探偵養成学校 BLUE, Tantei yōsei gakkō BLUE), or simply BLUE, is the world's most prestigious detective training academy. Every top-level detective was once a student at BLUE. The academy is located in London, England.
==Overview==
===Emblem===
Blue's emblem shows a golden key with a blue "B" on its bow. On top of the bow is a crown and on the bow's sides are images of a brain and an eye.
===Uniforms===
All students wear navy blue jackets with the academy's emblem on the left side, white dress shirts, blue-and-gray striped ties, and gray bottoms—boys wear gray pants, and girls gray pleated skirts. Boys also wear navy blue vests underneath their jackets.
==Structure==
The academy is situated inside an old, isolated stone castle. It is surrounded by water and can only be reached via a drawbridge. A small gatehouse stands at the end of the bridge. The building's interior is mostly made of wood, and various lecture halls are arranged like amphitheaters.
A black obelisk bears a quote from BLUE's founder—"Young detectives, bloom in this schoolhouse and paint the world with the colours of truth"—as well as the names of outstanding graduates.
===Security===
BLUE often collaborates with Scotland Yard for cases. To ensure that no classified information gets leaked, an emergency isolation system was implemented. Upon activation, the system isolates the school from the outside world, cutting off phone and internet signals and pulling up the drawbridge. Only the principal is privy to the deactivation code.
Furthermore, there are sensors throughout the school that run at all times, and devices that release electric current are in the water surrounding the school to prevent anyone from swimming through it.
===Known rooms===
* Anatomy classroom: Realistic model corpses used for recreating crime scenes are kept there.
* Classified document storage room: Among others, the file for the Bloody Field Trip Case is kept there.
* Dining hall
* Exercise room: A large hall with red flooring, a chandelier, and a balcony.
* Hidden underground room: Located under the north building; a long staircase leads there. Ron Kamonohashi famously used to do his homework there.
* Home economics room
* Locked room classroom: Models of famous locked rooms are exhibited there.
* Locker room: A place where students can store their items. Each locker has a different lock; none of them can be opened with a key, making the students learn how to open a wide variety of locks.
* Meeting room for BLUE staff: Located behind a dark ornate door. Inside the room is one large table surrounded by eleven chairs—one for the principal and ten for instructors. The chair reserved for the principal is slightly larger than the others.
* Timetable classroom: The wall is covered in train maps and timetables, and a model train runs through the floor the room is on.
==Detective work==
===Detective license===
Students receive a detective license which gives them implicit authorization from police all over the world and permits them to solve cases. Without a license, one cannot participate in any investigations. If one is caught solving cases without having a detective license, BLUE will order their death. Expulsion from BLUE results in the revocation of one's detective license.
There are different ranks of detective licenses with S-rank being the highest; less than ten people in the world hold this rank. One of them is Fin Fennic.
===Operating regulations===
* Article 3: "Detective work [comprises] any activity intended to clarify the truth."
==History==
A long time ago, when the school was still only a castle, the king lost a war and tried to flee. Until three years ago, many believed the king managed to escape through a secret tunnel to France. However, his remains were found and identified underneath the school during construction work. 
At some point, the castle was turned into a detective academy.

* Unlike regular British schools, BLUE begins its academic year in April.The Bloody Field Trip Case happened on October 1. Because Ron states that he was expelled halfway through the school year , the school year must, thus, start in April.

* So far, all BLUE instructors are named after an animal:
** Spitz is a type of domestic dog; some Spitz breeds are used as hunting dogs.Wikipedia:Spitz Spitz Fire is the tracking instructor and is adept at "hunting" people down.
** Grizzly bears are mostly solitary animals. Only in coastal areas, grizzlies gather around water masses during the salmon spawn.Wikipedia:Grizzly bear John Grizzly is the "closed circle" instructor, an expert in handling cases with a limited number of suspects.
** Fennec foxes are the smallest canids. Fennec families dig burrows and live in small sand dunes and treeless sand areas.Wikipedia:Fennec fox They, thus, inhabit "locked spaces." Fin Fennic is the locked room instructor.
** "Hirsch" means "deer" in German.
* Many students are also named after animals:
** Ron: "Kamonohashi" (鴨乃橋) means platypus (鴨嘴 / かものはし), but is written in a different kanji.
