Promotional material and scanlation credits are summarized rather than reproduced line by line.
Content note¶
The chapter contains corruption by school staff and parents, evidence tampering, intimidation of students, and adult-on-adult physical confrontation.
Images 001–012 — The investigation reaches its final stage¶
The chapter opens in the aftermath of the previous confrontation about the school contest.
A school administrator is already upset that outside authorities have become involved. Voices question what is wrong with the school and why the students are causing such a large incident.
Na Hwa-jin remains calm and continues moving through the case as though the adults’ outrage means nothing.
The atmosphere is one of panic:
- adults are scrambling to protect themselves,
- students who complained are being blamed,
- and everyone assumes the scandal might still be suppressed if they move quickly enough.
Images 013–023 — Students escalate to human-rights authorities¶
Na learns that the students backing the complaint did not simply endure what happened.
They went to the National Human Rights Commission.
Taehun is warned that his friends have already reported the situation and that, if the school continues to suppress the matter, the case could be pushed even further—“all the way to the Blue House.”
This instantly raises the stakes.
The adults who thought they could contain the problem begin seeing it as a political threat rather than a simple school dispute.
Images 024–032 — Missing records and the “copy room fire”¶
Na enters the school office and demands every document connected to the contest:
- submission forms,
- receipts,
- progress notes,
- application documents,
- and expense records.
The office staff claim they gathered everything they could, but say some key student-body and contest documents are missing.
Their excuse is convenient:
THEY PROBABLY GOT LOST DURING THE COPY ROOM FIRE LAST YEAR.
Na immediately notices the pattern. There was also a prior fire at the school, and now the only documents that would clearly reveal manipulation are the ones missing.
He bluntly tells them he is not an idiot.
He announces that everyone in the school office may be interrogated if necessary.
He also asks for the reports from the earlier fire, including the name of the security company connected to the alarm system.
The adults realize he is no longer investigating only the contest result—he is investigating the destruction of evidence.
Images 033–038 — Na finds the final piece¶
A call comes in while Na is still reviewing the paperwork.
He is told that a key clue has surfaced and replies that he thinks he has found the final piece of the puzzle.
The chapter then shifts toward Taehun’s household and the parent group behind the contest.
Taehun’s parents are still behaving as though his first-place result was rightful and only unfairly questioned later.
Na appears before them and formally identifies himself as:
NA HWA-JIN, FROM THE TEACHERS’ RIGHTS PROTECTION AGENCY.
He states his exact purpose:
he is there to determine who changed the grading criteria after the contest had already ended.
Images 039–046 — The parents’ group chat ties everyone together¶
The adults insist the police would already have found anything criminal if there were really a problem.
Na is unmoved.
He says this was not a minor post-event misunderstanding. From the start, the entire contest appears to have been designed as a setup.
The evidence he lays out connects the whole structure:
- the PTA / parent association,
- the school administration,
- and the head of the company connected to the event.
Most importantly, the parents’ group chat records show that messages were exchanged before the contest had even officially ended.
After those communications, the school changed the rules.
Then the same adults had dinner together afterward.
Na thanks them—sarcastically—for making the trail so easy to follow.
They protest that a group chat is not illegal.
Na answers that the chat history becomes meaningful once combined with the school records and their expense activity.
Images 047–057 — Taehun’s progress records expose the lie¶
When one of the parents tries to strike Na or silence him, he keeps pushing.
He produces Taehun’s own contest progress records.
These show that, through most of the preparation period:
- Taehun was struggling,
- his work quality was not strong enough to place first,
- and his parents were not even properly documenting his progress.
Then, suddenly, in October, his evaluation surges upward.
Na explains that Taehun’s actual scores were nowhere near first place under the original standards.
The revised standards—and the adults behind them—manufactured his victory.
While reviewing the school’s reports, Na also found anomalies in the expense and event records:
- a “parent volunteer appreciation dinner” had its expenses processed, but no proper expenditure report was attached;
- key committee or contest documents were absent while unrelated files were intact.
He kept tracing those irregularities until he arrived at the invoice number from the security company involved in the so-called copy-room fire.
That fire, he concludes, was not an accident.
It was a deliberate act to destroy records.
Images 058–060 — The headmaster is identified as the one who ordered the cover-up¶
A witness or outside company representative confirms unusual correspondence from the day of the fire. The instructions clearly indicated urgency and a demand that the relevant papers be burned or disposed of immediately.
Using that and the alarm-system paperwork, Na names the architect of the cover-up:
HEADMASTER JANG.
He states openly that the headmaster orchestrated the copy-room fire and then concealed it in order to hide evidence connected to the manipulated contest.
The headmaster denies everything and says Na has no proof sufficient to bring him down.
Na is completely unimpressed.
He says power, money, or connections do not change the facts once the documentary trail has been reconstructed.
Images 061–065 — The scandal becomes public¶
The story shifts into public fallout.
Parents and community members learn the truth from the news:
- Taehun did not legitimately win first place,
- the school lied about the result,
- and the contest itself was corrupted.
Students and parents who once assumed Taehun had simply been treated unfairly now reverse their opinions.
Some say they already suspected he was a troublemaker.
Others say the adults did something terrible.
News coverage explicitly frames the situation as:
SCHOOL CORRUPTION & RIGGED CONTEST EXPOSED
and reports that school officials and parents are under investigation after a TRPA inquiry.
The case can no longer be buried inside the school walls.
Images 066–072 — Na rejects the parents’ excuse¶
One of the parents breaks down and apologizes.
She says she and her husband thought the problem would simply blow over and believed they were helping their son.
Na stops her.
He asks what right she has to apologize to him.
The harm was done to:
- the other students who competed honestly,
- the children whose work was discarded,
- and even to Taehun himself, because his parents tricked him into standing on a fraudulent victory.
The chapter ends with Na making the point that the adults destroyed fairness while telling themselves they were acting for their child’s benefit.
Whatever sympathy they ask for now comes far too late.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
The contest was rigged from the beginning¶
The issue was not simply an unfair re-score. The adults coordinated before the results were final and then changed the rules to guarantee Taehun’s victory.
The “copy room fire” was part of the cover-up¶
Na’s investigation turns a suspicious loss of paperwork into evidence of deliberate destruction.
Parents and school officials acted together¶
The group chat, dinner meeting, and expense trail show that corruption crossed both school and household lines.
Na’s closing judgment is moral as well as procedural¶
The parents did not help Taehun. They used institutional power to cheat on his behalf and damaged the very child they claimed to protect.
