Content note¶
The chapter depicts child violence, physical restraint, punitive classroom intervention, and discussion of developmental or behavioral needs.
Images 001–003 — Wang asks the agency to take her side¶
Wang Soyu visits the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency after Na’s intervention at Hyunjong’s school.
She asks Na personally to handle the elementary-school matter. Her version is that a dishonest homeroom teacher deliberately encouraged the class to exclude her son.
Hanrim objects to the assumption that the agency exists as a subordinate Ministry service for powerful officials.
Na allows Wang to speak.
He then notices that the strange “Emperor’s DNA” manual belongs to her household.
He asks whether she previously reported another homeroom teacher for child abuse and caused that teacher’s dismissal.
Wang insists that a parent must protect a special child from ignorant adults.
Images 004–006 — Na removes her official rank from the case¶
Na says the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency must hear all sides, but Wang cannot participate as a superior Ministry official.
For this case, she is to behave as if she has no rank or authority.
The current teacher is exhausted and temporarily absent.
Na announces that he will serve as substitute homeroom teacher and observe Hyunjong directly.
Wang warns him that the boy must be handled according to the manual.
Na says the document is useful.
His expression suggests he intends to use it in a way she did not expect.
Images 007–009 — The first classroom refusal¶
Na enters the elementary classroom wearing glasses and introduces himself in a friendly tone.
Hyunjong remains absorbed in a phone game.
Na tells him to put the phone away until class ends.
The boy refuses and says his mother can have teachers fired.
Na confiscates the phone.
Hyunjong immediately attacks.
Na subdues him before the blow can land and holds him where the class can see that threats about his mother no longer control the room.
Images 010–012 — A “thinking chair” arrives¶
A former special-forces instructor, Lee Jincheon, enters and salutes:
CAPTAIN NA HWA-JIN.
He delivers a device described as a thinking chair.
It is a heavy restraint assembled from a chair, tire-like padding, straps, and a mouthpiece or pacifier.
The object is visually absurd but physically secure.
Na places Hyunjong into it after repeated aggression.
The child struggles and demands release.
The other students watch in stunned silence.
Images 013–016 — Reading the manual backward¶
Na begins applying Wang’s rules in reverse.
The manual says not to restrict Hyunjong’s actions. Na restrains him so everyone else can complete class safely.
It says always take his side in conflict. Na instead requires him to acknowledge the classmate he attacked.
It says not to force mathematics. Na gives him basic problems and waits beside him.
It says to avoid “no” and “don’t.” Na does not argue verbally; he prevents the prohibited behavior and makes the child formulate an acceptable request.
The point is not that every child with behavioral difficulties should be restrained. The scene targets Hyunjong’s learned belief that no adult may set a limit.
Images 017–019 — The first genuine request¶
Time passes.
Hyunjong’s rage becomes exhaustion.
Na removes the mouthpiece long enough for him to speak.
The boy says:
I’M SORRY.
I’M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING. PLEASE LET ME OUT.
The words differ from earlier apologies because they are not followed by an immediate threat involving his mother.
Na does not release him automatically. He checks whether the child understands which behavior caused the consequence.
Images 020–022 — Hyunjong immediately tests the boundary again¶
After being given some freedom, Hyunjong prepares a concealed prank or trap involving a spring, pin, fastener, or small sharp mechanism.
He works quickly and quietly, without the hesitation an ordinary child might show after such an intervention.
Na detects it before anyone is injured.
He remarks that the child is “really something.”
The speed of the relapse shows that fear alone has not changed Hyunjong’s habits.
Na also notices clues connected to Wang’s fondness for wine or corkscrews and turns the object into another demonstration that concealed harm has consequences.
Images 023–024 — Rules apply even to imperial blood¶
Na reflects that Wang’s manual becomes far more effective when read backward.
The chapter states that punishment or consequence is one of the most basic lessons humans learn in a social group.
Hyunjong’s problem is not simply that he has energy, attention difficulty, or unusual intelligence. No one has consistently taught him that other people possess boundaries.
Na addresses Wang through the case:
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU HAVE EMPEROR’S DNA.
IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW THE RULES…
The sentence becomes the cliffhanger. The remaining implication is clear: lineage does not exempt anyone from social consequences.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Wang requests intervention only when she expects control¶
She wants the agency to punish the teacher, not investigate the household.
Na treats the manual as evidence of inverted parenting¶
Every rule removes a limit and makes someone else responsible for Hyunjong’s actions. Reversing the manual means restoring boundaries rather than denying the child’s needs.
The thinking chair is deliberately extreme¶
It prevents immediate violence and dramatizes the lack of ordinary discipline in Hyunjong’s life. The chapter does not present it as a standard clinical treatment.
An apology is not yet rehabilitation¶
Hyunjong speaks politely when the consequence becomes unbearable, then quickly prepares another harmful trap. The habit is deeper than one punishment.
The next step must involve the parent¶
Na can control one classroom, but Wang’s belief system will continue recreating the behavior unless she accepts assessment and treatment.
