Tw : violent act

It wasn't the first or second time Yuki had attended this class—a simulation training for emergency situations where a bomb and hostages were hidden in locked rooms. Each team, consisting of ten members, would compete against others to rescue the hostages and defuse the bomb as quickly as possible. Of course, the bombs and hostages were fake, and the explosions were weaker than fireworks—so they weren't particularly dangerous, though the sparks could still sting if they hit bare skin. However, the soldiers wore specialized protective gear, making this a common scenario they were trained to handle.

Bomb threats, though rarely publicized, happened frequently. There was a reason why such incidents weren't widely reported—to avoid causing panic among the public. As long as the bombs were easily located and defused, there was no need to broadcast the news.
