Oozora Gakuen (Academy)

Visual Theme: A blend of Japanese rural nostalgia (rice fields, old temples) with a touch of modernity in the village center.

1. Geography & General Atmosphere

• Green Valley: This village is located in a valley surrounded by the Miyama mountains. The air here is very fresh, and the sound of the river water can often be heard all the way to the school.
• Mizuchi River: A clear river that cuts through the village. A traditional wooden bridge is a favorite spot for students to chat after school.
• Village Scents: Depends on the season; the scent of cherry blossoms in spring, the smell of wet grass and the sound of cicadas in summer, and the scent of firewood in winter.

2. Key Locations Around Schools

• "Shotengai" Shopping Center: A small street with old shops run by local residents.
• Suzuki Fish Shop: Owned by Kota Suzuki's father, it is always busy and noisy.
• Morikawa Ramen Shop: Rio and his friends' favorite hangout. The portions are huge and the prices are affordable for students.
• "Kotonoha" Bookstore: A quiet place owned by Kenzo Arata's parents.
• Oozora Shrine (Oozora Jinja): Located on top of a hill behind the school, you have to climb hundreds of stone steps. Run by the Miko Kanzaki family, it is often the site of summer festivals (Matsuri) or a place for students to pray for good luck before exams.
• "Sakura-zaka" Bus Stop: An old bus stop with a wooden roof under a giant cherry blossom tree. A classic location for a "waiting for the bus together" scene or a confession.
• The Hidden Fields: A vast rice paddy field on the outskirts of the village. In the center is an old warehouse that Daichi Kuroki often uses as a hiding place or to play truant.
• Konbini (Convenience Store) The only modern convenience store open 24 hours. At night, its neon lights become the center of attention in the dark village. It is usually a gathering place for motorcycle gangs or students working on group assignments.

3. Details for Bot Narrative (World Lore)

• Transportation: Most students walk or cycle. Few use the bus because it runs only once an hour.
• Village Secret: There is a legend that whoever ties a ribbon on the branch of the oldest cherry blossom tree at Oozora Shrine during a full moon will have eternal love (This could be an interesting quest idea!).
• Social Relations: Because this village is small, all the residents know each other.

• Basic Setting: Prefectural Oozora High School (Oozora Gakuen), a prestigious high school in rural Japan, surrounded by lush green hills.

• Front Courtyard: A spacious courtyard with clean red brick tiles. In the center is a main path flanked by rows of dense cherry blossom trees, which bloom in full bloom in spring, showering the courtyard with pink petals. There is an old wooden clock tower on the right side, and a large bicycle parking area on the left.

• School Building: The four-story main building features a "modern-classical" architectural style. The walls are constructed of a combination of dark red brick and sturdy exposed concrete. Large windows provide ample natural light to each classroom.

• Ambiance Details: To the left of the building is a popular outdoor cafeteria, where an orange food truck selling "TAKOYAKI" is often parked. Upstairs is the school rooftop, which is frequently visited by students. The gym and student dormitories are located in the back area of ​​the school.

1. Atmosphere & Aesthetics

• Visual: This class has a classic-modern feel. The floor is made of polished parquet wood, which makes a distinctive "creaking" sound when someone walks in a hurry.
• Lighting: A row of large windows on the right side of the classroom (facing West) makes this room always bathed in golden orange light in the afternoon—the most iconic moment for romantic or melancholic scenes.
• Scent: A mixture of chalk, new book paper, and the faint scent of cherry blossoms wafting in through the open window.

2. Whiteboard & Front Area

• Chalkboard: A large green chalkboard that is always filled with Ichikawa-sensei's complicated formulas or festival announcements from Ren Ichigaya (Class Rep).
• Teacher's Podium: A teakwood table at the front of the classroom, a "red zone" for students. Next to it is a small cabinet for cleaning supplies and a yellowing map of Japan.

3. Back Area (Free Zone)

• Student Lockers: On the far back wall, there is a row of wooden lockers where students store their outdoor shoes, sports equipment, or secret love letters.
• Bulletin Board: Displayed is a list of duty schedules, the highest test scores (which are usually dominated by Renji or Kaito's name), and club pamphlets that are torn at the corners.
• "Thug" Corner: The back seat near the door is often where Daichi Kuroki and his friends gather, giving the area a slightly tense feel.

1. Access & Doors

• Iron Door: To reach it, you must climb a silent concrete staircase to the top floor. The door is a heavy, dark blue iron door with peeling paint. The creaking sound of the door as it opens gives it a "secret" feel.
• Forbidden Zone: Officially, the school roof is locked during school hours. However, there are spare keys hidden in the doorframe, or sometimes the door is blocked by a rock by students trying to play hooky.

2. Visual & Atmosphere

• Concrete Floor: Large area with gray cement floor that retains solar heat. There are faded green lines that indicate a safe path.
• Wire Fence: The entire edge of the roof is surrounded by a two meter high iron wire fence (mesh fence). This fence is full of small graffiti or "promise locks" that students have installed secretly.
• View: From here, you can see the entire Oozora Village in 360 degrees—from the Mizuchi River, the expanse of rice fields, to the Oozora Shrine on top of a hill that looks very small.

3. Iconic Details (Interaction Spots)

• Giant Water Tank: In one corner sits a large blue water tank. The area behind this tank is a "blind spot" invisible from the entrance, often used by Daichi Kuroki to smoke (or simply sleep) and where students fight without being noticed.
• Equipment Shed: A small, permanent, locked building where broken chairs are stored. The walls are often used as backrests for sitting while eating lunch.
• Wind Vibe: The wind here blows much stronger than below, bringing with it the fresh scent of the Miyama mountains.

1. Atmosphere & Senses

• Visual: The room is dimly lit. There's only a small, barred window at the top that filters the sunlight into streaks of floating dust. The floor is rough, cold cement.
• Aroma: Has a distinctive aroma that is a mixture of the pungent rubber of a ball, the wood dust from an old mattress, and the musty smell of a closed room.
• Sound: Sounds from outside the gym are muffled (such as the sound of a basketball bouncing or Kobayashi-sensei's whistle), giving the impression of being isolated from the outside world.

2. Interior Details (Interaction Spots)

• Pile of Mats: Thick blue exercise mats are piled in the corner of the room. This is a favorite spot to sit or hide. They're soft, but dusty.
• Equipment Rack: Rusty metal rack full of deflated basketballs, volleyballs and soccer balls. There is also a large wooden crate containing a straddle jumper which looks scary in the dark.
• Nets and Ropes: Hanging nets and large coils of rope often become obstacles when someone tries to move quickly in here.

3. Unique Details (Event Triggers)

• Easily Locked Door: This barn door has an old locking mechanism that often breaks. If it's closed too tightly from the outside, it can't be opened from the inside without a special key—a classic "trapped in twos" scenario.
