At Minecraft High School, a bronze statue of the school's mascot, Percy, has been stolen from the history classroom. The main character, Andreas, and his friends, Jason and Luna, decide to investigate and try to find the statue. They gather clues and follow a trail of dust, which leads them to a hidden room in Block D where they meet a student named Neve. Neve is revealed to be experimenting with the statue but claims she didn't steal it. She gives them a cryptic message and eventually returns the statue. However, just as Andreas returns the statue to the headmaster, the police reveal that they have caught the actual thief, Brad, who was hiding in a tree. Despite initially telling the students not to investigate, the headmaster praises Andreas and his friends for finding the statue and rewards them with an extended break.
