## Background

Before Gekkoukan High School was founded, the building was built by the Kirijo Group, intended as a laboratory to investigate and experiment on Shadows. The scientists would gather the Shadows and harvest them, amplifying their capabilities and their potential. It is later shown that during the experiment, the arcana that was never meant to be, Death, was created. It is also revealed that via the experiments, the leading group of the scientists came to know about The Fall. The majority of the scientists embraced the prophecy, with the exception of Yukari's father. Declining Death, Yukari's father intercepted the experiments and destroyed many of the facilities along the way. It is also where the Shadows who began to merge with one another, intending to reform into Death, who was forcefully torn apart. The laboratory was later destroyed by the enraged Shadows, leaving only a few of the scientists alive.

To cover up the incident, the Kirijo Group spent a large sum of money and rebuilt the laboratory into a high school. However, as the students enroll in, many of them disappeared with reasons unknown. It was, however, written on the papers that the school suffered from an explosion. 10 years later, Minato Arisato enrolls into Gekkoukan High School.
