Ch.412407 – Vertical Joke

[The video shows a school setting. Students can be seen coming up the stairs on the first floor. Student A, attending the Academy elementary division, used 3rd circle magic to bind the upper bodies and ankles of school bullies and dragged them up to the third floor. They appear unconscious and completely immobile. During this process, the perpetrators suffered fractures and bruises from hitting stair corners and railings.]

A news video played at the National Assembly’s Education Committee.

Amid a flurry of camera flashes, the questioning of the Arabyul Middle School principal by assembly members began.

“Did you not know that when school violence is reported, you’re supposed to issue separation notices to the accused students?”

“No, I was aware of that.”

“Then why were the perpetrators at school from 9 AM to 4 PM that day?”

“When a case is reported, we first confirm with the victim if they want separation—”

“The victim reported it themselves! The victim did! If you made a mistake, just admit it clearly.”

“The perpetrators weren’t at school from 9 AM. All five arrived just before lunch at 11 AM.”

“Principal! How can you say such absurd things? What kind of ridiculous answer is that?”

Shouts and rebukes filled the National Assembly.

The assembly members weren’t taking this incident lightly.

It was a serious matter involving Kim Soon-yeol, the nominee for National Police Commissioner.

It was nothing short of comedy that the daughter of someone who promised to strictly crack down on juvenile crime was identified as a key perpetrator of school violence.

The next person called for questioning was Gu On-yu, principal of Cephiron Academy’s elementary division.

The assembly members who had just torn apart the Arabyul Middle School principal turned on their microphones again.

“Principal Gu, I’m truly curious about your thoughts on this incident. Looking at the outcome, this is a case where a 9-year-old student brutally assaulted four 15-year-old students. Is the Academy unable to control even a single third-grader?”

“I apologize.”

“I’m not asking for an apology, I’m asking a question. Did you have the ability to restrain her or not? This student posted on her SNS the day before: ‘If even one doesn’t show up, I’ll bring seniors and find them myself.’ If she had brought a group of seniors and caused bloodshed—which already happened anyway—would the Academy take full responsibility?”

“A group intimidation incident would never have happened.”

“I’ll take that to mean you don’t have the ability to prevent individual misconduct.”

Since the assembly members had a talent for making even correct statements sound offensive, Principal Gu had no choice but to swallow his anger throughout the questioning.

After the session ended, Principal Gu left the suffocating assembly hall to get some fresh air.

NoName had been given a 30-day suspension, the maximum the Academy could impose at once.

Nevertheless, the school was bombarded with complaint calls from parents to the point where work became impossible.

If the foundation extended the suspension, Name would not be able to return to the Academy until the end of the year.

Considering the winter break lasting until February, she would have to stay home for more than four months.

“Four months is more than enough time for a child to go astray… Oh, what should we do with our Name…”

Principal Gu’s heart ached thinking about Name being hurt by people’s words.

The one fortunate thing was that public opinion online was gradually shifting in Name’s favor.

With victim Jung So-hae’s interview and in-depth media coverage, the perpetrators’ cruel past actions were being fully exposed.

But reality wasn’t the internet.

Some parents demanded forced transfers, saying they couldn’t send their children to the Academy with Name.

Principal Gu took out a cigarette he had kept sealed away for many years and put it in his mouth.

*Ding*

In the midst of this, a text arrived from Professor Cheon.

The photo he sent showed Name’s profile as she slept peacefully with her head on a desk.

“How cute. Someone could kidnap her and she wouldn’t even know.”

*Ding*

Professor Cheon sent another photo from the same angle.

This time, he had drawn all over Name’s face with a black pen.

Principal Gu was furious—he had just been grilled by assembly members while someone else was comfortably playing pranks at home.

Frowning, Principal Gu sent a reproachful text to Cheon Kyu-jin.

[Gu On-yu: Suspension isn’t vacation. Couldn’t you send a picture of her looking remorseful instead?]

[Cheon Kyu-jin: (photo)]

“What’s this? ‘The Effect of Tertiary Destructive Resonance of Dichloroacetic Acid on Oxidative Stress Induced by Temporal Lobe Epilepsy’? Why is he showing me this?”

Professor Cheon had captured papers that Name was working on.

It was definitely Korean, but there were more unfamiliar words than familiar ones, which was fascinating.

As Principal Gu scanned the rest of the papers with bleary eyes, he soon let out a cry of astonishment.

“Damn it, this kid is seriously insane!”

* * *

A month had passed since Name declared her self-reflection period.

Her videos could no longer be found through legal channels on the internet.

Due to clear privacy violation issues, AIs automatically censored and removed the videos.

Meanwhile, the news was highlighting other school violence cases previously committed by Police Commissioner nominee Kim Soon-yeol’s child.

As favorable public opinion toward Name surpassed hostile opinions, previously hidden supporters began to gather one by one.

[Am I the only one who thinks school bullies deserve this lesson?][36]

Stabbing stomachs with knives and burning hair and palms? Aren’t they literally demons?

Honestly, I think NoName should have beaten them more thoroughly.

These jerks still haven’t learned their lesson—it was ridiculous when they all went live on Instagram from the hospital.

[Comments]

-They thought they’d get support because NoName was getting hate in real-time.

└ lol absolute idiots

-I know it was wrong but honestly it felt so satisfying haha

-Never thought I’d see the day I’d support a juvenile offender.

└ NoName isn’t a juvenile offender, she’s a criminal.

-We all know she’ll get 1-2 years if this goes to court.

-This country is way too lenient on criminals unless someone dies.

[Name did wrong, but…][29]

But I want to punch those people who paint NoName as a potential murderer or psychopath.

They’ll say anything to a 9-year-old kid.

If she really had that kind of nature, her acquaintances wouldn’t be stepping up to defend her.

Not a single streamer has cut ties with NoName yet, which says a lot.

And if you’ve watched her streams, you know, right?

Even a friendly golden retriever will bite if provoked enough.

[Comments]

-I was shocked seeing all those posts crucifying NoName on day one.

└ Those are the real psychos.

└ I thought some random murder had happened.

-I agree with the post. She did wrong. But proper education can ensure she doesn’t do it again.

└ Will education really change anything?

└ Of course it will, why else would education exist lol

-Maybe she just lacked moral awareness until now. If I played LoL for 7 years, I might throw shurikens at people too.

└ Shurikens lmao

└ Are you actually insane? lol

[I wonder how NoName is living now…][45]

Wouldn’t she try to turn on her stream first thing in the morning with her hair all messy, but can’t because she’s still reflecting?

Wouldn’t she try to take a picture of perfectly toasted bread to show us, but can’t because she’s still reflecting?

Wouldn’t she cry all day saying she misses her viewers until her voice gets hoarse and she falls asleep?

Wouldn’t she try to turn on her stream before bed to give us ASMR with her baby-like voice, but can’t because she’s still reflecting?

I can forgive everything, so please just turn on your stream, please!!!!!

[Comments]

-Fact: NoName has never done morning streams.

└ Really, never?

└ She goes to school on weekdays and sleeps in on weekends.

-I’m a huge NoName fan but honestly our streamer isn’t like that;;

└ If she were, I’d believe the psycho theory.

[I hope NoName never comes back ^^][183]

NoName already has an irregular streaming schedule and barely any new content.

People think being young excuses everything, but isn’t she a streamer who receives donations from viewers just like everyone else?

Her fans who swarm everywhere like locusts were already annoying enough, so it’s good they’ve fallen from grace lol

Looking back, all the trolls in LoL and World of Arsheria were because of NoName.

Just try to come back like nothing happened, and I’ll terrorize you with 200 accounts.

No matter how much you tremble, I’ll never stop. ^^

-Diagonal insult wow

└ Horizontal insult wow

└ Zigzag insult wow

└ Vertical insult in bold so we don’t miss it lmao

-What’s with the 167 comments lol

└ For real, touch this topic slightly and it explodes like a powder keg.

-LoL aside, World of Arsheria actually benefited. Thanks to her, the nearly extinct healers multiplied.

└ I can defend vigilante justice but not that Asteria top play, Name…

└ I hope she celebrates her return by reaching Challenger with Asteria one-trick.

Communities and VTube circles were forming sympathetic opinions.

Not a single sighting of her on the streets had been reported.

Adella and Kariri, who must know her whereabouts, maintained their silence to the end.

Then one day, a community user discovered Name’s latest trace.

It was on ‘arXiv’, a free paper repository operated by Cornell University.

‘I won’t do it again.’

NoName’s message had been unearthed.

Along with knowledge more precious than gold and silver.
