School District 6 (第六学区 Dai Roku Gakku?) is a school district at the eastern part of Academy City. The district's primary focus is on recreational facilities, which includes an amusement park spanning the majority of the district.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Principles[]
School District 6's focus is on recreational facilities, with the entire district made into a giant amusement park, as well as housing pools, hotels and theatres.[1][4] It is used for research and experiments concerning the service industry and the field of amusement.[4]
The amusement park is district-wide private property,[4][5] which allows for guests (including children) to cross large spaces in park with electric scooters and carts not allowed on public roads.[4]
There are apparently too many attractions in park to see entirely on foot.[4] Most are currently unknown, but the few known ones include a roller coaster,[4] a large Ferris wheel,[4][5] and a merry-go-round.[4] As with most amusement parks, the attractions undergo testing early in the morning, before any guests arrive, to make sure they can be run safely.[5] Also, there is a lot of infrastructure built underground, such as the giant motors and industrial power transformers used for thrill rides, as well as other equipment that would break the illusions being presented to the parkgoers.[5]
There are various staff members in costumes present in the park (including mascot characters such as Gekota, Bunny Grey, an unnamed horned bear mascot etc, as well as clowns),[4] as well as a parade with floats and music with a route which includes a pass along the main street.[4][5]
There are a number of suspicious rumors about the district, such as there being a secret casino below it, and the sight of an unfamiliar mascot meaning there is a lurking kidnapper.[5] The presence of tourists attracted to the district in turn attracts swindlers, thiefs and similar criminals.[1][7]
Secret Residences[]
The park has luxury resort hotels, but there are also Secret Residences (シークレットレジデンス Shīkurettorejidensu?),[4][8][9] special luxury homes which rich people can rent along with a full year pass and at a high cost.[4] The Secret Residences have various themes from around the world, based on the settings of movies and fairy tales.[4][9]
One is a Japanese-style home, with theming based on an otherworldy train station, with gravel, a bamboo thicket, a teahouse bench, a large red umbrella, a dilapidated torii, a roofless station building, rusted train track buried by gravel and weeds, and a platform with a rusted sign saying “Otherworld Capital Station” (京異界駅 Kyōikai-eki?).[9]
Another is a Western-style red brick mansion.[4] At the time of the events of Operation Handcuffs, a number of tents were set up out the back behind the mansion, besides the metal fence surrounding the yard. With no guests having no business there and the rich having no reason to walk into the shadows behind their home, these were used by people associated with the city's dark side,[8] such as the counterfeiter Perfect Film.[4]

Kumokawa Seria and her sister Maria evaded the chaos of Handcuffs by hiding in the amusement park under two stolen mascot costumes.[4][17] At the end of the night, having been flying on Beetle 05's back, Fremea Seivelun ended up dreaming in a character product-filled hotel room in the park, with Beetle 05 and Fräulein Kreutune looking on.[15][17]

Kamijou Touma, Anna Sprengel and Aradia spent some time in the district between January 3rd and 4th, while heading from School District 12 to School District 15 in their hijacked Predator Octopus.[18][5] In the confusion surrounding the abrupt declaration of martial law, many workers at the amusement park had turned up for work and ended up stuck, with several groups forming and making use of heaters and food.[6] Mut Thebes ended up interacting with a trucker among one of these groups and learned about an AWACS,[6] using it to hunt down the trio in the district before being stopped by Anna Kingsford and Aleister Crowley, with circumstances requiring Aradia to fly their vehicle out of the district.[7][19][20] Shortly afterwards, Mut Thebes encountered the Fugaku moored at one of the district's canals.[21]
