Mop Handle

The mop handle is an ordinary mop handle with its head pulled off. With a sharp end because of a nail at the end, Rei Miyamoto used this as a weapon during the initial outbreak at Fujimi Academy. Rei used the mop handle as a spear when escaping the school and to utilize her skills as a member of the sojutsu club.

Overview

 * "A grade schooler's dream tool (for cleaning time). It can be a bass guitar, a rifle with a bayonet... Oh yeah, one way you can have fun with these is if you take an overturned desk, attach four of these things to it, put it on top of another desk, and pretend it is some kind of antiaircraft defense. If you can get about five guys in on it, you will have a blast." - Daisuke Sato
