Attempted Contact with a Lecturer at LEC Suidobashi & the Obstruction ①

Introduction

LEC Suidobashi Main School is one of the preparatory schools for qualification exams operated by Tokyo Legal Mind.

I had been attending the patent attorney exam preparation course taught by the same lecturer there for several years.

On March 5, 2018, I was subjected to psychological destruction tactics using sound & light at a hotel in Shinjuku and a nearby convenience store.

On March 18 of the same year, when I entered the lecture room to attend the above-mentioned lecturer’s class, it was almost entirely filled with people in suits.

In March 2020, I decided to meet the lecturer directly at the school.

One reason for the gap between the incident and my attempt to contact the lecturer was that I had somewhat given up, assuming that even if I inquired about this incident with Tokyo Legal Mind, I would not receive a sincere response.

However, I believed that the lecturer was not someone who would lie, so I decided to meet in person and explain the situation.

This article documents the series of suspicious events that occurred during that time.

Details of the Incident

March 7, 2020

I brought with me a written document prepared the day before for the Lecturer and visited LEC Suidobashi Main Campus before the class started.

I had not informed anyone of my visit.

First, I went to the room on the first floor where course explanations and applications were handled.

There, I found about three men sitting. When I asked about the lecturer’s arrival route, I was told, “They come from the street facing the building.”

Since there was a staff-only entrance on the opposite side of the street, I decided to wait between the main entrance and the staff entrance on the first floor.

However, the lecturer did not appear.

When I went to the lecture room on the upper floor, a person who appeared to be staff came out and told me, “The morning session is a practice test (mock exam), so the lecturer will come in the afternoon.”

Since the first-floor staff should have known that the lecturer would not be there in the morning, I found their response suspicious.

After spending time at a café and another location, I returned to LEC Suidobashi Main Campus before the afternoon class started. At the entrance, a man who appeared to be someone in a high-ranking position was waiting.

When I asked, “Has Lecturer ○○ arrived?” he replied, “Not yet,” and then turned towards the consultation room and asked,
“○○ hasn’t arrived yet, right?”
Immediately, the voices of 3–4 men responded in rapid succession, saying, “Not yet.”
The exchange felt like something out of a yakuza movie.

Behind this man, a staff member who had handled things in the morning (whom I remembered seeing introduced as the “store manager” (*) on the LEC Suidobashi website) looked at me with a dubious expression.

After waiting for a while in the same place as in the morning, I went to the lecture room, only to find that the class had already started. With no other option, I spent some time inside the building and returned to wait in front of the lecture room around the time the class was expected to end.

I knew the instructor would likely be answering students’ questions after the lecture, so I didn’t expect her to come out right away. After waiting for quite a while, one of the students came out of the room, saw me, and went back inside.

Then, a young man who introduced himself as the "Assistant Branch Manager" appeared from elsewhere and told me that I could not hand the document to the instructor directly.

While I was arguing with him, the instructor exited the lecture room. I tried to approach her, but the assistant branch manager physically blocked my way. The instructor briefly stopped, looked at me and gave a faint smile, then left in the elevator.

The argument with the assistant branch manager continued, and at one point I shouted so loudly that my voice echoed to the lower floors. Eventually, a large-built student came out of the lecture room, gave me a bitter look while throwing something in the trash, and returned to the room.

In the end, the assistant branch manager said he would deliver the document to the instructor on my behalf. Though I was aware it might not be handed over, I entrusted the document to him and decided to leave for the day.

Observations

That morning, when I asked about the lecturer’s arrival route at the first-floor counter, I already had a bad feeling. I had anticipated that I might face some kind of obstruction when trying to meet the lecturer.

The man who appeared from the lecture room in the morning was neither the store manager nor a staff member. The high-ranking-looking man waiting at the entrance in the afternoon, as well as the young man who called himself the assistant manager, also did not appear to be employees of Tokyo Legal Mind.

The young man who claimed to be the assistant branch manager may be the same person as both—or either—of the individuals I previously encountered: the suspicious-looking man I saw after the instructor’s lecture on March 4, 2018 (Sunday), and one of the two uniformed police officers who came to my home in November 2019.

The lecturer likely had not been given a detailed explanation when the large lecture room was filled with people in suits on March 18, 2018 (Sunday).
At that time, not only the lecturer but also the staff at Suidobashi Main Campus might not have been informed.

Moreover, given that on March 7, 2020, the lecturer smirked at me, it is undeniable that she had been given an explanation that was completely different from the facts.

In any case, this incident is yet another example demonstrating just how malicious and powerful the organization involved in these human experiments truly is.
