Chapter 111.1

Chapter 111 – Rule 31: The Disciplinary Committee Leader Restores Order in Academy City (13)

TV and online video platforms.

The video broadcasts on the news channels suddenly began to glitch and then switched screens.

Appearing on the newly hijacked screen was…

─ Hello.

A woman in a goblin mask.

With light pink hair, dressed like the Six Criminals’ Goblin.

─ I am Goblin, one of the Six Sinners of this city.

It was Kim Dalbi.

The broadcast signals had been hijacked.

Not all news channels were affected, as those using dedicated lines remained unaffected.

However, every channel that utilized wireless signals now displayed Dalbi.

─ I will now reveal the atrocities committed by Neo Seoul’s Head Principal, Lee Doo-hee.

Dalbi’s plan was now in motion.

There was an uproar at the broadcasting stations.

“What the hell is going on!?”

“A high-power signal on the same frequency has been detected!”

“Signal hijacking!? Where’s the transmission coming from!? Never mind that, increase our signal power! Take back the broadcast!”

“It’s difficult! The output is too strong…! We don’t even know what’s happening…!”

Dalbi began revealing the truth behind the Six Sinners, the tragedy of the Zero Zone, the Head Principal’s embezzlement and corruption, her actions to frame the Ahsung High Disciplinary Committee Leader, and evidence that Ahn Woo-jin’s alleged crimes were fabricated.

Evidence materials kept appearing on the screen, and the internet was thrown into chaos.

[ What is this??? ]

[ Is this real?? ]

[ All the evidence seems legit; people working in the field are saying it checks out. ]

[ This is confusing…. ]

[ She’s pretty. ]

[ Why is she revealing this all of a sudden? Seems fishy. ]

[ Isn’t this person one of the Six Criminals? How can you trust her? ]

[ Only idiots pay attention to a criminal’s words lol ]

The chat was filled mostly with skepticism. Even with evidence, the fact that the speaker was a criminal undermined the credibility.

At that moment, new figures appeared on the screen.

A male student dressed in the Mayeon High School uniform, wearing an armband.

A female student wearing the Mayeon High School Student Council President badge.

The male student, wearing the Disciplinary Committee Leader armband, adjusted his glasses and spoke in a heavy tone.

─ Hello. I am Lee Jae-ho, the Disciplinary Committee Leader of Mayeon High. Beside me is Lee Ye-na, the Student Council President of Mayeon High.

The chat was filled with question marks.

Jae-ho recalled his video call with Baek-seo.

─ ‘…That’s the situation. If someone like me, who’s from the same group as the Leader, steps forward, it will just seem like I’m covering for him. That’s why I need someone credible. Will you help?’

─ ‘No need for complicated explanations. I’ve already decided to fight alongside Ahn Woo-jin. Where can I review the evidence?’

Lee Jae-ho and Lee Ye-na.

They were brought in after Baek-seo explained the circumstances to them.

─ Everything that has been said so far is true. Our Disciplinary Committee has verified it, and we will vouch for it on behalf of Mayeon High. Ahsung High’s Disciplinary Committee Leader, Ahn Woo-jin, has been falsely accused with fabricated evidence… W-Wait, President!?

Mayeon High’s Student Council President, Lee Ye-na, snatched the microphone. Her smiling face seemed surrounded by a field of colorful flowers.

But her eyes were filled with fierce determination.

Ye-na pointed at the screen, directing her words at the viewers.

─ Everyone! Our enemy is Head Principal Lee Doo-hee! That’s the truth! Let’s stand up and fight!! To protect this Academy City!!

The internet flared up with heated reactions.

News articles covered the signal hijacking extensively, and the public was fiercely divided.

Opinions were split between those who believed “The Head Principal is the enemy, and Ahn Woo-jin is innocent” and those who saw it all as a scheme to oust the Head Principal.

It was becoming impossible to control.

The evidence revealed by Goblin Kim Dalbi was highly persuasive, including proof that overturned the accusations against Ahn Woo-jin.

Some argued that such evidence couldn’t have been fabricated in such a short time and that cross-checks showed Dalbi’s evidence to be credible. However, others insisted it was all cleverly manipulated fake AI videos or a trap by someone with ill intent. The Head Principal’s subordinates moved to manipulate public opinion as control slipped away.

“This….”

At her home, Min Hana, a student from Ahsung High, steeled herself and started her broadcast.

With martial law in effect, many students were focused on the news, but a significant number were still enjoying entertainment. As a result, Hana’s virtual streamer channel saw an influx of viewers far greater than usual.

[Hey guys, it’s Iaring. I have something really important to share.]

Min Hana was a popular JTuber whose words could stir massive controversy.
Before her large audience, she declared:

[The person who saved me back then was none other than Disciplinary Committee Leader Ahn Woo-jin. And right now, he’s being falsely accused.]

Turning her back on Neo Seoul, she voiced her support for Ahn Woo-jin.

Thanks to the evidence revealed by Goblin and Mayeon High, she had a solid basis for her stance.

Journalists captured her statements in their articles, and viewers rallied behind Hana, escalating the situation further.

What was becoming clear was that the public was now deeply suspicious that “we might have been played by the Head Principal.”

[What if they come to arrest me?]

Hana shared her fears with her viewers.

It was rare for any JTuber to speak out with conviction in the current climate, as it could easily be seen as an act of treason.

She was scared.

Meanwhile, a popular streamer had arrived near the Center Area.

“Hoo….”

A man exhaled nervously.

He was the Shin-do-rim Swordmaster, Park Sung-tae.

‘I can’t miss this opportunity.’

With all forces concentrated solely on Woo-jin, Park Sung-tae discreetly began filming around the Center Area.

‘The entire Center Area has been weaponized. The Head Principal really was hiding something big. And….’

Seeing Woo-jin walking in the distance, Sung-tae let out a bitter laugh.

‘The real monster was somewhere else….’

He recalled his defeat at the hands of Woo-jin, who was only a 4th Tier back in the first semester.

If his opponent was a monster like that, losing was inevitable.

Oddly, Sung-tae felt a boost in self-esteem.

‘Anyway, since the Disciplinary Committee Leader came to settle things, something will definitely come to light. I’ll record the weaponized Center Area, the Disciplinary Committee Leader…, and then start a live stream when the time is right.’

He knew it was a life-threatening endeavor.

But Sung-tae couldn’t resist the chance to gain a massive viewership.

Moreover, if the Disciplinary Committee Leader was genuinely wronged, supporting him could help rebuild his own image.

Perhaps, Sung-tae had grown stronger for this very moment.

Ssss.

Sung-tae licked his lips, feeling the anticipation build.

Meanwhile, in the Ahsung High Student Council Room.

Student Council President Han Baek-hyun, armed and ready, was laughing as he watched his tablet PC.

“Hahaha!! These people are something else! I didn’t expect public opinion to shift at this timing…! This is definitely something we can exploit!”

“President, then….”

“We’re still deploying. If Ahn Woo-jin wants to make this noisy, how can we just sit back?”

“Right….”

His secretary, trembling with fear, nodded tearfully.

Baek-hyun rolled his shoulder, took a deep breath, and said,

“Let’s go, time to turn this city upside down.”

Meanwhile, at the Central Tower.
