DDS 101
Thanks to the readers who read the first chapter. I'm glad that you liked it. Now that the 2nd Story arc of Round ZERO is already underway, I felt that I should highlight the rest of the sections, and Class A is the next to be highlighted.
While some of the members have experienced a lot of hardships and changes, some have not, so please bear with some little info in the rest, but I'm doing my best to entertain you readers.
So without further ado, here is Class A!

Class A
Yukihira Sakurako
The 17-year-old niece of Morihiko Dan is a renowned detective novel author, having published successful books while in high school. She didn't want to be a detective at all at first, because she wanted to be a mystery novel writer. She's in 2nd grade in Senior High School as well as in DDS. She received her first award from the police at 3rd grade in elementary school. She also barely mentions that Morihiko Dan is her uncle, since she desires to ascend in the DDS on her own. Fiercely competitive, more hot-headed than she lets other see and quite stern on others and herself, she's a friendly rival of Kyu (the only one who knows her relationship to Dan) and a good friend of Megu and Kuniko. She is a Libran.
Although she played quite a minor part in the trilogy fics Koudoutai, she played a very major and important role in the next fic, Rise Of The Orphenochs. She and Class A were assigned to investigate the mysterious deaths of the Ryonan High School basketball team, and were slowly being dragged into a case that soon encompasses their entire DDS.
It was during this time that she met with a teenage boy named Kyo, who resembles Kyuu Renjou of Class Q. A few months later Class A became targets of a combined assault of the revived Pluto organization and a corrupt corporation SMART Brain. There she meets up with Kyo again who saved her from the attackers.
Another month later she, along with Megumi, discovered that Kyo is actually Kyuu's long-lost twin brother of Kyuu after a confession by Mizue Renjou. After learning of this, Kyo joined forces with DDS to help rescue Ryu. There was a secret attraction between Kyo and Yuki as they were drawn to each other. But both decided to put aside those feelings and pretend that nothing happened.
She got her biggest push when Kyo assigned to her one of the high-tech belts and phone, the Beta Gear, when Megumi became pregnant and Kyuu being the father. She accepted it and she finds herself teaming up often with Kyo in missions involving Pluto and SMART Brain. Her feelings towards him intensified in secret.
But she suffered a terrible tragedy when she was captured by Pluto and was gang-raped by several Pluto soldiers led by a Taiwanese contact named Leo. She was emotionally scarred and traumatized, but through Kyo's emotional support, she was able to overcome her trauma and moved on.
After the defeat of Pluto and SMART brain, she strives to become the top student of DDS. She is currently seeing Kyo at the Kanagawa Hospital after being injured by one of the possessed F-4 members during an investigation (see Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols).
Yutaka Saburōmaru
With an IQ of 180, he studied at Tokyo University. He is arrogant and enjoys boasting about his "superiority". He thinks he will be the qualified detective, often becoming the comic relief in the series.
He knows Megumi Minami via the Tokyo National Talent Development Research Center and has a crush for Megumi's older sister Akane alongside Kinta in one episode in the anime. Although he has an IQ of 180, he seems too inept in solving mysteries.
He remains with Class A at the moment, still acting as the "black sheep" of that section.
Hayato Shiramine
He has an astonishing ability in magic tricks, inherited from his father (a famous magician), Hayato Shiramine is 16 years old, and often says that those who master magic are great detectives.
Kyōsuke Gouda
A puzzle master and a mathematical olympian, Kyōsuke is 19 years old. He is quite talented in mathematics.
Aside from participating in a joint examination during the Jack The Ripper Case in Kurosawa Island, he was among the DDS students who rescued Kyuu and Megumi that led to the discovery of the old school building's secret room.
He played a slight major role in both Koudoutai and Rise Of The Orphenochs fics, but is currently making a few occasional appearances in Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols.
Takeshi Shishido
Went to Harvard University to do a doctorate on criminal psychology before joined DDS. Quite qualified himself, Takeshi has solved four homicide cases on his own.
Aside from participating in a joint examination during the Jack The Ripper Case in Kurosawa Island, he was among the DDS students who rescued Kyuu and Megumi that led to the discovery of the old school building's secret room.
He played a slight major role in both Koudoutai and Rise Of The Orphenochs fics, but is currently making a few occasional appearances in Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols.
Kuniko Tōya
A 15-year-old girl, Kuniko Touya is a transfer student from Shibusawa Academy, as well as a good friend of Megu and Yukihira. She changed her appearance drastically when she entered DDS, after the extremely cruel bullying she went through in Shibusawa leaded to a terrible tragedy that had to be investigated by Class Q. During her Shibusawa times, Kuniko used glasses and was rather modest in her clothing; right before joining DDS, she bleached her hair and started dressing somewhat like a Ko-Gal. She's still timid and shy, tending to panic in some crucial moments (like when she became the target of a pervert in the train), but works hard to get over such flaws. Her hobby is collecting spooky pictures and practising Aikido (her family has a dojo). In the manga and anime, she has a crush on Ryu.
Like Yukihira, Kuniko although played a minor part in the trilogy fics Koudoutai, she played a very major role in the next fic, Rise Of The Orphenochs. She and Class A were assigned to investigate the mysterious deaths of the Ryonan High School basketball team, and were slowly being dragged into a case that soon encompasses their entire DDS.
After that, she makes a few occasional appearances in Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols.
