Get Schooled — Chapter 174¶
Complete Detailed Panel-by-Panel Transcription¶
Scope¶
This transcription follows all 20 ordered reader images in the uploaded Chapter 174 archive. Readable dialogue, K-Genius instructions, medical guidance, and Ministry disciplinary text are preserved where legible.
Content note¶
The chapter discusses psychiatric hospitalization, pseudoscientific treatment, parental abuse of authority, and professional dismissal.
Images 001–003 — Wang still refuses to name the assault¶
In the hospital, Wang denies that Hyunjong attacked her.
She says she drank too much, tripped, or fell.
Na reads the K-Genius guide aloud:
- use requests rather than commands,
- never blame mistakes,
- allow extensive video games,
- let the child eat whatever he wants,
- and provide flour-based foods because they supposedly suit a right-brain child.
He asks whether she truly followed every instruction.
If she did, he says, the result is not mysterious. The program systematically removed every limit around a child already struggling with impulse control.
Images 004–006 — Hyunjong finally receives clinical treatment¶
Na tells Wang that Hyunjong has been admitted to a university hospital’s child-psychiatry ward.
The boy is shown restrained for safety, screaming and fighting against staff.
The image is distressing, but the hospital is not praising the behavior or assigning it royal meaning. Professionals are controlling immediate danger and beginning a structured assessment.
Na says Wang was desperate. She tried ordinary treatments, became exhausted, and then turned toward a place promising certainty and superiority.
Desperation explains why she entered K-Genius.
It does not excuse what happened afterward.
Images 007–009 — Wang returns to the only institution that still validates her¶
After leaving the hospital room, Wang goes back to K-Genius.
She still wants the chief researcher to tell her the method remains correct and that Hyunjong’s crisis is temporary.
There she sees another mother describing a child who:
- cannot keep up academically,
- is ostracized,
- refuses school,
- plays games constantly,
- eats only selected foods,
- and displays sexually inappropriate or intrusive behavior.
The mother says K-Genius promised complete recovery in six months to one year.
Five years have passed, and the child is worse.
Images 010–012 — The laboratory blames the customer¶
The chief researcher says the mother must not have followed the method properly.
When she insists that she did everything, he changes the explanation.
Perhaps, he says, the son simply was not a genius.
K-Genius is for gifted future leaders. A child who fails to improve should be taken to a hospital.
The contradiction is obvious:
- when parents arrive, the center says ordinary hospitals misunderstand genius;
- when the method fails, it says the child was never a genius and should have received medical care.
Wang recognizes her own future in the older mother’s humiliation.
Images 013–015 — Three questions for detecting fraudulent treatment¶
Na follows Wang with a document prepared after consulting a hospital doctor.
He offers three practical questions:
- Does the treatment make sense under ordinary reasoning?
- Has its effectiveness been independently verified?
- Does it promise a complete cure for a condition medicine does not claim to cure completely?
A method that relies on secret knowledge, rejects all outside testing, and guarantees total recovery should be treated with extreme suspicion.
Na says there is one thing desperation never makes acceptable:
HURTING OTHER PEOPLE.
Teachers and children absorbed the cost of Wang’s denial for years.
Images 016–018 — Wang loses the authority she used against teachers¶
Na lists Wang’s conduct:
- she pressured one teacher until the teacher was fired,
- threatened the current homeroom teacher through Ministry rank,
- demanded that classmates accommodate violence,
- and ignored repeated warnings that Hyunjong required assessment.
He hands her an official Ministry document.
The paper removes or dismisses Wang Soyu from the deputy-director position.
The power she used to silence teachers is taken away.
Na tells her she must now accept full responsibility as a parent rather than hide behind bureaucratic authority or royal ancestry.
Images 019–020 — Na turns toward K-Genius¶
The chief researcher tries to end the confrontation and tells the visitors to leave.
Na steps forward.
The researcher recognizes Wang and acts as though the agency’s presence is merely an inconvenience.
Na smiles and says, in effect:
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME YOU WERE COMING.
He tells Wang not to be too sad about the journey ahead.
He will find her a companion.
The implication is that K-Genius and its chief researcher will now face investigation and consequences alongside the parent whose denial they cultivated.
The chapter ends before the agency’s action against the center is shown.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Wang’s denial continues even after hospitalization¶
Naming Hyunjong as the attacker would force her to admit that the program failed and that the child is dangerous without treatment.
Clinical restraint and the “thinking chair” are framed differently¶
The hospital restraint occurs within assessment and safety care. It is not presented as evidence that the child is evil or inferior.
The fraudulent program contains an escape clause¶
Every successful child proves the method. Every unsuccessful child is reclassified as not truly gifted or as having a disobedient parent.
The three questions translate medical skepticism into ordinary language¶
The chapter does not require parents to become specialists. It asks them to look for verification, coherent reasoning, and impossible cure promises.
Wang’s dismissal closes the Ministry-abuse portion of the case¶
She is not punished because her child has ADHD or developmental difficulties. She is punished for using public authority to threaten educators and conceal harm.
K-Genius becomes the next target¶
The final line expands accountability from the desperate customer to the business that monetized denial.
