School District 10 (第一〇学区 Dai Jū Gakku?) is a district at the southernmost of Academy City. Its main characteristic is that it contains a few facilities and establishments that carries a certain social stigma towards people, such as nuclear facilities and graveyards, as well as having poor public order.[1]
Principles[]
Urban decay as exemplified by the Strange.
Land prices in District 10 were the cheapest because of the fact that it had poor public order and having the worst security,[2][3] a fact that is rumored to make deliverymen go out of their way to avoid passing through the district on the way to their destination.[4] It didn't have any major facilities, though it was filled with things like disposal areas for experimental animals and laboratories related to nuclear power, as well as the infamous Special Ability Institute.[2] It is most likely rampant with urban decay, most specifically in Area G, known as Strange, a hot bed for delinquents and is the stronghold of many Skill-Out gangs, like Big Spider.[5]
Despite delinquents residing in the district, there is actually an ironclad rule among them that they are to be nice to cats abandoned in the rain and to little kids, an example of this is when the entire gang of Big Spider once fought for the sake of a child in the rain.[6]
The district is also one of the limited school districts that can handle the dangerous hydrazine liquid fuel used for the rockets in the City.[7]
The district also houses prison facilities, including the Reformatory, a juvenile hall built to hold esper offenders,[8] and the Special Criminal Adult Correctional Facility, meant to hold adults.[9] There are unofficial railway lines and subway stations under these facilities for prison trains (such as the Overhunting) that are sometimes used to secretly transport prisoners directly from the judicial facilities in School District 1 to the prisons when ordinary transportation would not suffice.[10]
The east side of district is an area of terrible public order, but the west side of district has been redeveloped, and the center of district is well maintained.[11]
Graveyard Tower[]
The graveyard tower[Notes 1][12] in the city is located in School District 10 due to the fact that many companies refuse to set-up shop in the district, after a long turnaround, it settled in this backdrop.[3] As well as the fact that since 80% of Academy City's population is comprised of students, their corpses are normally returned to their parents. The graveyard has the distinct shape of being similar to that of an elevator equipped multi-story car park. The structure uses the power of lifts to automatically pass the miniature tombstone that has the cinerary casket in. For this to work, the input of a number is required in the ‘small space’ that’s separated by the clapboard like a shooting range.[13]
As long as the thick waterproof tray allows it, any flowers and gifts are allowed. But when the system detects any microbes, once it passes a certain limit, it’ll be dumped into the dustbin automatically. More often than not, most tombstones do not have the ashes its owner, and is simply used as a memorial. These tombstones hold the memories that range from criminals, Child Errors, and those involved in the Dark Side of Academy City, such as Frenda Seivelun.[13]

Notes[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The district had the only known graveyard in Academy City until the final chapter of Astral Buddy featured a temple graveyard in School District 12. Ogino Kentarou, the editor for Railgun and Astral Buddy, had already discussed the graveyard issue with Kamachi Kazuma. They concurred that the religious facilities of Academy City were concentrated in School District 12, so that there could be situations like the last chapter of Astral Buddy.
