Hands of The Clock

The twelve Hands of The Clock are mirages who represent the hours of the clock. They are also known as the Twelve Hands of Clockwork. The twelve of them are clay statues given a soul, and are parallels to the person they represent (see Astral Academy).

Appearance
The Hands of The Clock are humanoid statues covered in a black cloak. They wear long chains with a small golden pocketwatch around their neck, and have the ability to float. There are times when they don't wear their cloaks, the biggest example being Erizu, where they wear frilled blouses and are seen with gears around their bodies.

Astral Academy
The first-year Kuroi had made it into the principal's room, certain that they had been hiding information from him. When he opened one of the principal's books, 7:00 appeared before him, causing him to quickly shut it closed. After this encounter, he started to study the clockwork mirages, which made him create The Plan - however, he only put the plan into motion during his second year.
