Gakuen Senki:Walkthrough

This is a walkthrough for the English version of Gakuen Senki. It features several small changes from the original release, so a walkthrough for the original is not necessarily compatible.

Chapter 1
Make sure to mind your cash as you go through the game. If you don't have enough money, you can get a Game Over or end up dead-ended, especially in Chapter 5. Thankfully, you have more than enough money and should be fine as long as you don't buy multiple copies of items or waste time in restaurants.

You have to spend a total of 4,700 yen to clear the game.

It doesn't matter what club Kaori joins, but it will give you a different CG at the end of the day. She can join tennis, swimming, or volleyball. One possible choice:


 * Move -> Pool
 * Talk -> Kaori -> Join swim

Whatever club you choose, continue:


 * Move -> Club grounds
 * Move -> Student town (or anywhere else)

If you've discovered the cave, a charm will be here that wouldn't be otherwise.

Searching the Cave
Make sure you've bought the light and bat from town. Without the bat, you will get a game over. Be careful not to wander around the cave at random, if you pass through a certain passageway too many times, a slug monster will appear and block the passage, dead-ending you.


 * Move -> Club grounds
 * Move -> Back mountains
 * Enter -> Cave

Youko should go with you because you have the charm.

If you have the pole, you can get through.

You can't do much in combat besides Attack, or Defend if you're near death. Save before each fight and reload if you do very poorly.


 * Take

The rifle gives Wataru +2 attack, and is also required to solve an optional puzzle.


 * Move -> Building
 * Talk -> Kei

 * Fight -> Elevator

You can only do this if you have a rifle. This will prevent an ambush and save Kaga from losing a lot of HP.

Don't dawdle here for too long, or you will be attacked.

Walkthrough (Japanese)
I couldn't get past the science room. I needed to check a notebook, but I don't seem to have the option.

If anyone ever makes it, be sure to note down what you did or did differently.

The walkthrough is in Kanji, but the game is in Kana. You can convert it, but there should also be a version of the same walkthrough in kana.

This is a walkthrough for the MSX version, so doesn't account for a few small changes in the Windows, Japanese port.

There was also a full hint booklet around if you mailed Champion Soft some money, but I doubt that'll ever pop up.
