Tatsuhara Junior High

**Tatsuhara Junior High School** (田津原 中学校 *Tatsuhara Chūgakkō*) is one of the major settings of "Tales of Tatsuhara: Vigilante Student Council".

## Overview

Tatsuhara Junior High is a prestigious private school located in Tokyo, Japan. It is renowned for being one of the top schools in all of Japan and has a high rate of successful students. The school itself is actually a *gakuen* (園 *lit. academy*) as it also has a high school that the students of Classes A-D enroll in through an escalator system and students from other schools enter through a transfer student exam.

## Curriculum

Tatsuhara has five core subjects; Math, English, Science, Japanese, and Social Studies. During end of term exams, each of these subjects is worth a maximum score of 100 for a cumulative maximum score of 500.

Tatsuhara also has secondary subjects, such as P.E., Performing Arts and Home Economics.

## Academic System Features

### **Housing System**

Unlike most schools in the area, the school houses a housing system into which students are categorized on their first day, in order to fuel loyalty to their house. The houses are the following -

* Homura, corresponding to the element of fire
* Mizuki, corresponding to the element of water
* Kazuma, corresponding to the element of wind
* Konoha, corresponding to the element of nature

### **Student Council**

The school also has a student council to which students are elected every year. However, in the current setting, they are the ones who are sent off on various missions regarding the safety and security of the school and the city.

In order to be a member of the student council, the student must:

* Have a clean track record (they must not land in the principals register more than thrice for any reason). An exception would be Okami Hayashi, due to him being a former delinquent, but a changed person.
* Come in the first 3 majorities of votes from the students. (Elimination Round 1)
* Pass through the judges' screening. This often involves an interview and giving a speech. (Elimination Round 2)
* Consent to being a member of the mission squad and swear that this would be highly confidential.
* Be able to have some fun while doing work at the same time (a rule created by Nika Akabane)The posts that a student can apply for are:

* President
* Vice - President
* Secretary
* Treasurer
* Enforcer
* Co-ordinator

## Location

### **Main Building**

The main building is shown to be a huge building with a spacious campus. The campus is reminiscent of a small college campus. It has a central building named 'Hikari' and four main wings, each named after one of the houses. All the buildings have 3 stories. The school also has a baseball field, a track field, an auditorium and a swimming pool. The main building itself also houses both Junior High and High School of Tatsuhara.

## Uniform

The standard boys uniform consist of crimson trousers with a matching crimson blazer, a white button up shirt, black shoes, a dark grey belt and an indigo tie.

The standard girls uniform is basically the same, except they wear a crimson skirt instead of pants. The skirts come in various lengths. However, this rule isn't strict, as some girls (most notably Nika Akabane) prefer to wear the pants from the winter uniform.

The winter uniforms are also the same, except the shirts are full - sleeved and the skirts become pants for the girls.

The Tatsuhara P.E. uniform consists of a short sleeve shirt which comes in the colors red, blue, green and white. Some students instead wear an indigo tracksuit jacket. The boys P.E. uniform uses long blue tracksuit pants or long shorts (IDK the exact name) depending on the season, while the girls uniform uses long blue shorts and black leggings or pants. Students wear white sneakers with their P.E. uniforms.
