Arius Branch School (Japanese: アリウス分校) is a school located in Kivotos. It was once a school that was apart of Trinity before being broken up and quickly forgotten, with many rundown buildings used as shelters and outposts for the students. Because of this, the district has become extremely hostile due to the students learning to fight and kill while using guerilla tactics.

During the Invasion of Kivotos, the Sons of Liberty had sent in the True Sons and the Legionnaires to control the area and has be controlled the students into joining the organization and was said that many of them were using fear tactics and manipulation to keep them line. They have also engaged heavily with Black Tusk and Los Extranjeros, which both factions captured multiple points of interest. However, this was, in secret, the White Tusk's main base of operations in Kivotos as they tried to assemble the Arius students into the White Tusk.

However, in secret, an unknown hunter was tasked by The Patriots and Calvin McManus to remove any and all White Tusk assets in the district, which included the current members of Arius Squad and any student attending Arius.

Later on, Ultor began to move operations to the district as a humanitarian aid to demilitarize the district and make it accessible to the public by clearing out many of the factions, including the Sons of Liberty. In reality, it is merely used as a cover for Dex's Black Market operations.
