Episode 08



Phantom of the School

In Vietnam, Saya has been enrolled into the Lycee de Cinq Fleches. She is assigned to the same room as Min, a very talkative girl.

Meanwhile, Kai and Riku are left alone at a hotel with a credit card and have no clue as to where their Red Shield friends are. At his own base of operations, David has photographs of a girl with oriental features and black hair, wearing the lycee’s uniform who died of blood loss. Saya calls him to report that nothing has happened but David warns her that there’s probably a Chiropteran around the school.

Later, Min tells Saya the legend of the Phantom and the blue rose, and ends by mentioning that the Phantom appears on the bell tower at night under a crescent moon when the roses are blooming. The two then notice Hagi, who has joined the school as a gardener and has become the idol of the girls. Saya later speaks with Hagi alone and he gives Saya a dagger since he can’t give her the sword just in case Saya needs it for self-protection. They’re spotted by Karl, the director of the school. As he spies on the two, he feels a pain on his right shoulder and slinks away.

At night, once her roommate falls asleep, Saya sees a light at the bell tower. She goes to investigate, escaping the notice of the matron, Ms. Lee who seems to be on guard. Saya is surprised when a masked man appears at the top of the tower. She throws Hagi’s dagger into his shoulder, but the man pulls it right out and the wound heals rapidly, leading her to believe that he’s a Chiropteran. Fortunately, Hagi jumps onto the scene and fights him off. After the phantom disappears, Saya picks up a blue rose that he has apparently left behind.
