He soon gets to know the other heroines too. ![]() One of the heroines, Kanon drags him along, taking Jin on tours of the school and becoming his friend quickly. Beyond that, he’s told by his mother (also his supervisor) to use this experience to improve his social skills. The common route of Secret Agent has Jin searching for clues related to The Bat. Armed with his ninja tools and his AI that seems a little too human, he attends as a student. Their only lead is a symbol connected to an unusual school where the student council and committees are replaced by an order of student knights with more power than the teachers. Whether The Bat is right or wrong, it’s Jin’s mission to track them down, even more so since they use similar techniques to their ninja organization which leaves them open to blame. This ambiguity over what is right comes up a few times throughout the visual novel, which does add a nice layer of complexity on occasion. Their modus operandi is to embarrass influential people by releasing footage of their misdeeds. ![]() It’s not as straightforward as The Bat being a villain. Working for a secret organization backed by the government, he’s assigned to investigate a mysterious vigilante known only as ‘ The Bat ‘.

Secret Agent (Secret Agent ~Kishi Gakuen no Shinobi Naru Mono~) follows a modern-day ninja infiltrating a school, ruled by an order of student knights, in a high-tech city where everyone uses augmented reality to get around. ![]()
