Reader pages 2–3 — Choi Hyun-woong excels in class¶
The chapter begins during a Korean-history lesson about Dokdo.
The teacher asks for three pieces of historical material demonstrating Korean sovereignty.
Students hesitate until Choi Hyun-woong, the weekly duty student, answers.
He gives three dated sources:
- Eunjusicheonghapkki — 1667
- Samgukjeobyangjido — 1785
- the Taejeonggwan command — 1877
Translator notes provide brief historical explanations.
The teacher praises him:
“GOOD, THAT’S PERFECT HYUN-WOONG.”
“IT’S INCREDIBLE THAT YOU REMEMBERED THE YEAR.”
She asks whether he intends to earn a perfect Korean-history score and says she has high expectations for him.
The sequence establishes that Hyun-woong’s position is earned through genuine study.
Reader pages 4–5 — Cheon fears the student’s rise¶
Cheon watches Hyun-woong with visible hostility.
Other teachers discuss the boy’s sincerity. Despite his difficult family circumstances and lack of private academy education, he outperforms wealthier classmates and maintains strong relationships with faculty.
A colleague asks Cheon why he looks too worried to eat.
Cheon insists:
“I DIDN’T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST STUDENTS.”
The denial comes before anyone explicitly accuses him, revealing his guilt.
Reader pages 6–7 — Cheon summons a student accomplice¶
Several boys smoke secretly while another watches for the director.
One complains that being a nonsmoker makes him look like a loser.
Cheon catches or approaches them and orders the others to go home.
He keeps one boy behind and says:
“GIVE ME A CIGARETTE.”
The student is startled to find his homeroom teacher using the shared vice as a point of familiarity.
Cheon begins questioning why the boy has not carried out his assignment.
Reader pages 8–9 — The order to break Hyun-woong¶
Cheon demands:
“CHOI HYUN-WOONG! WHY IS THAT TRASH STILL HOLDING HIS HEAD UP?”
He had ordered the student to destroy Hyun-woong’s mental state before midterms.
The boy says Hyun-woong is mentally stronger than expected and that the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency is now moving around the school.
Cheon criticizes him for attempting it on campus.
“AFTER SCHOOL, THERE’S A LOT OF WAYS TO DO IT, RIGHT?”
The student refuses to continue.
Cheon replies that he is not asking for free help and promises an offer the boy cannot refuse.
The conversation confirms that the violence against Hyun-woong is not spontaneous peer bullying. A teacher is commissioning it to manipulate academic rankings.
Reader pages 10–11 — Hyun-woong’s grandfather¶
The scene shifts to an elderly man collecting cans and cardboard with a handcart.
A stranger helps him after some trouble, and the grandfather repeatedly thanks him.
He says it must have been difficult to gather so many cans and cheerfully comments that good things happen if a person lives long enough.
He plans to buy hind deer legs to make soup for Hyun-woong.
The grandfather’s affection and optimism contrast with the school officials exploiting the boy’s poverty.
Reader pages 12–13 — A parent bribes Cheon¶
A wealthy mother meets Cheon in a café.
She says her daughter told her that the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency came to persecute him and asks whether he is all right.
She and her daughter Yewon are worried.
Cheon reassures her:
“MADAM, DON’T WORRY ABOUT YEWON.”
“THE PREPARATION IS ALREADY PERFECT.”
She admits that Hyun-woong’s improving performance made her nervous.
Cheon says:
“I’M SURE THE KID’S GONNA MESS UP THIS MIDTERM.”
“MAYBE HE’S NOT IN THE POSITION TO CONCENTRATE ON HIS STUDIES.”
His phrasing shows that he already knows violence is being prepared.
The mother passes him an envelope or payment.
Reader pages 14–16 — The grandfather is assaulted¶
A group of boys attacks Hyun-woong’s grandfather and his handcart.
They call him filthy and complain that his dirty hands touched expensive clothing.
“YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH THESE CLOTHES COST!”
“IT COSTS MORE THAN 50 OF THESE HANDCARTS!”
They kick, shove, and scatter the recyclables.
A passerby intervenes and drives them away.
Hyun-woong later finds his grandfather bruised.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE, GRANDPA?!”
“DON’T TELL ME SOMEONE ASSAULTED YOU AGAIN?!”
The grandfather minimizes the attack:
“IT HAPPENS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY~”
He says he was lucky because a young man passed by, beat the attackers, and chased them off.
Reader page 17 — The grandfather’s philosophy; Na corners the accomplices¶
The grandfather tells Hyun-woong:
“NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS GET, DON’T GET ANGRY. IT’S A LOSS~”
“THERE ARE BAD THINGS IN LIFE~”
“THERE WILL BE ALSO GOOD THINGS!”
Elsewhere, the boys who attacked him kneel in front of Na.
Na tells them they know how to take care of themselves if he returns.
He asks:
“WHAT THE HELL DID SANG-YEOL OFFER YOU TO MAKE YOU DO THIS?”
The visual transition reveals that the “young man” who protected the grandfather was Na and that he captured the attackers rather than merely dispersing them.
One boy answers by producing evidence.
Reader page 18 — The yellow USB drive¶
A small yellow USB drive is placed on a table.
The boy calls it:
“AN INSURANCE POLICY JUST IN CASE.”
A flashback shows Cheon giving the drive to Yewon’s mother.
“TELL YEWON TO WATCH IT ALONE AND TO NEVER SHOW IT TO OTHERS.”
The woman asks what it contains.
Na holds the drive and answers:
“WHAT IS IT? IT’S OBVIOUS!”
“THESE ARE THE MIDTERM QUESTIONS, RIGHT?”
The evidence proves not only attempted assault but direct exam leakage.
Reader page 19 — The full motive¶
Na summarizes the scheme.
Cheon was trying to drop an honor student’s grade.
The target came from a broken-down family that the school assumed could not retaliate effectively if something went wrong.
“NOW I KNOW THE REASON.”
“IT’S BECAUSE OF THE GRADES!”
Na says that they now possess both the circumstances and physical evidence.
He looks toward the school with a sharp smile.
“SHALL WE BEGIN THE TRUE EDUCATION?”
The chapter leads directly into the teacher examination seen in Chapter 25.
Reader pages 20–21 — Scanlation notices¶
An anti-hotlink notice and Imperfect Comics recruitment/support pages close the archive.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. Hyun-woong’s academic ability threatens a purchased ranking¶
Cheon is not targeting a disruptive student. He is destroying a high-performing student because merit interferes with a bribery arrangement.
2. Poverty is treated as protection for the perpetrator¶
Cheon chooses Hyun-woong partly because he assumes a boy raised by an elderly recycler has no parent with money or institutional influence.
3. The grandfather refuses the hierarchy of dignity¶
He is ashamed neither of the handcart nor of manual work. The attackers’ obsession with the price of their clothes exposes the values Cheon’s corruption rewards.
4. The USB turns suspicion into an evidentiary case¶
By the final page, Na has the commissioned assault, the parent payment, the leaked questions, and the discriminatory motive.
