Get Schooled — Chapter 197¶
Complete Detailed Panel-by-Panel Transcription¶
Scope¶
This transcription follows the 10 ordered long story strips embedded in the supplied Chapter 197 MHT, excluding its separate title/header asset. Readable dialogue, reflective narration, account-suspension text, memorial scenes, and the introduction of three former bullies are preserved where legible. Several lines in the scanlation are grammatically unclear, so the transcription distinguishes visible meaning from uncertain wording.
Content note¶
The chapter discusses political interference, extralegal justice, a child’s death after bullying, anonymous online abuse, account suspension, grief, and former offenders who appear to be living ordinary lives.
Strips 001–002 — “You rigged the trial, didn’t you?”¶
The new lawyer confronts the long-haired man after their brief exchange of punches.
He asks whether the mother’s extraordinary victory was secretly arranged.
His accusation is directed beyond the TRPA toward:
EDUCATION MINISTER CHOI GANG-SEOK
He argues that a person capable of changing the environment around a civil trial sounds more like a Minister of Justice than an Education Minister.
The long-haired man does not deny that Choi helped create pressure around the case.
He answers that this is precisely what the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency was created for: cases in which ordinary procedure leaves a clearly harmed person without an effective protector.
The chapter title appears.
A flashback shows Choi speaking with another experienced official or political associate.
Choi says he once believed legal and educational systems would correct obvious wrongs if facts were simply presented.
What he found instead was a series of loopholes through which victims disappeared.
He remembers muttering, almost without thinking, that people responsible for such abuse needed a beating rather than another explanation.
That frustration became part of the idea behind the TRPA.
Strip 003 — The agency as a lifeline through broken systems¶
The long-haired man and the new lawyer continue speaking outside at dusk.
They agree that schools are difficult institutions:
- students can attack teachers,
- teachers can suppress students,
- adults can misuse protection laws,
- and children can exploit loopholes created to keep them safe.
The legal system is also vulnerable to people who understand its procedures better than those they harm.
The long-haired man describes Choi’s goal less as perfect justice than a lifeline.
The Minister wanted an institution able to reach victims who were genuinely wronged but could not prove their case through ordinary channels before the damage became irreversible.
The new lawyer worries that such an institution can become authoritarian.
Who decides who is “truly” wronged?
What prevents powerful officials from using violence or pressure whenever they dislike a lawful result?
Strip 004 — The lawyer’s victory still belongs to him¶
The long-haired man says he is not asking for the lawyer’s approval of Choi’s methods.
He also tells him not to be excessively angry about this particular case.
Choi may have influenced the attention surrounding Lee Janghyup’s professional punishment, but:
WINNING THE TRIAL WAS YOUR OWN ACHIEVEMENT.
The evidence, legal argument, and courtroom work belonged to the new lawyer.
A flashback shows the long-haired man discussing the case with an older, muscular associate.
He says he trusts the young attorney even though their personalities and methods differ.
The older man asks whether he is sure the lawyer is capable.
The long-haired man says he does not trust people easily, but he trusts this one.
Strip 005 — “We’re after the same goal”¶
Back outside, the long-haired man tells the lawyer:
I KNEW YOU’D TAKE THIS CASE MORE SERIOUSLY THAN ANYONE OUT THERE.
He did not expect such a huge victory, but he believed the lawyer would not abandon the client or treat her grief as inconvenient paperwork.
The two men may oppose each other’s methods.
One believes in lawful advocacy and institutional legitimacy.
The other accepts covert pressure and force when procedure becomes a shield for abuse.
Still:
WE’RE AFTER THE SAME GOAL.
EVEN IF OUR WAYS ARE DIFFERENT…
THE SAME GOAL!
The legal arc begins giving way to another thread.
A heavyset man sits before several computer monitors and celebrates after completing an online action.
OKAY! ALL SET!
He curses people he describes as racists or hateful users and expects to punish them through his platform activity.
Strip 006 — A suspended account and a memorial photograph¶
The heavyset man receives an unexpected notification.
His NewTube account has been suspended.
The notice refers to violations connected to account activity and monetization, though the fine print is difficult to read in the scanlation.
He panics over the loss of followers, income, or access.
THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT…
The scene ends on a memorial photograph surrounded by flowers.
He addresses the deceased child:
YUNJU, MOMMY’S HERE…
The visual transition returns the chapter to the mother and her daughter rather than clearly establishing the man as a separate central character. The account-suspension material appears connected to the wider network of online hostility surrounding Yunju’s case.
Strip 007 — The mother completes one part of her duty¶
The mother visits Yunju’s memorial niche.
I WON FOR THE FIRST TIME.
She says the legal system did not close the case for her. Powerful people, public attention, and institutions responding under pressure finally produced the result.
The victory therefore feels complicated.
Another adult reflecting on the outcome says the spectacle around Lee’s punishment and public humiliation feels disturbing even when the underlying accountability was deserved.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S RIGHT ANYMORE…
At the memorial, the mother says:
YUNJU, MY JOB IS DONE NOW.
She feels relief that the corrupt or negligent lawyer was punished.
Then she adds that the people who truly destroyed Yunju have largely escaped meaningful punishment.
Strips 008–009 — The faces behind ordinary video calls¶
Narration broadens the focus from the lawyer to the original bullying.
The mother’s lawsuit could name only a limited number of identifiable defendants.
Many participants remained anonymous, untraceable, too young for the consequences she sought, or outside the final liability judgment.
A young woman watches old group-video calls involving Yunju and several girls.
The girls appear ordinary:
- they speak casually from bedrooms,
- laugh about school,
- show clothes or food,
- and talk as though nothing extraordinary occurred.
The imagery then becomes dark and mask-like.
The people who attacked Yunju were not monsters visibly separated from normal society. They were ordinary students able to switch between friendly video calls and coordinated humiliation.
A purple-haired girl wearing a black cap begins speaking directly to the reader or camera.
She says the story has focused on the grieving mother, the lawyer, institutions, and Yunju’s suffering.
She now intends to reveal what happened to the girls who participated.
Strip 010 — Lee Daebin, Kim Yuni, and Ok Seoyoung¶
Three young women are introduced.
Lee Daebin¶
Even after Yunju died, Lee Daebin appears to have received little or no lasting punishment.
She lives an ordinary adult life and casually handles household tasks, food, or social-media content.
Kim Yuni¶
Kim Yuni graduated without major consequences.
She now lives an apparently normal, respectable life, shown working or preparing herself at home.
Ok Seoyoung¶
Ok Seoyoung laughs comfortably while showing off her life online.
She appears happy, socially connected, and untouched by the grief that consumed Yunju’s mother.
The purple-haired narrator states:
FROM NOW ON, I’LL REVEAL EVERYTHING.
THOSE THREE DEMONS DID AND HOW THEY LIVE NOW.
The chapter ends by opening a new investigation into the original bullies whose ordinary present lives contrast with Yunju’s permanent absence.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
The chapter questions who owns a legal victory¶
Choi and the long-haired man influenced visibility and professional pressure. The new lawyer still produced the courtroom argument that won the damages award.
The TRPA is presented as both lifeline and danger¶
Its purpose is to reach victims abandoned by procedural loopholes, but the lawyer correctly asks what restrains an institution that believes its moral judgment outranks ordinary law.
The mother’s victory is incomplete¶
Lee’s punishment addresses the second institutional injury. It does not punish every person who helped destroy Yunju.
Ordinary appearances are part of the horror¶
The former bullies are not living as obvious villains. They graduate, work, socialize, and present normal lives while the victim’s family remains trapped in grief.
The next arc returns to the original offenders¶
The purple-haired narrator promises to expose Lee Daebin, Kim Yuni, and Ok Seoyoung, shifting the story from legal malpractice back to the people involved in Yunju’s school and online abuse.
