At one point, I thought that Kim Kiryeo might have been falsely accused, as Ahn Yoonseung said. But with this, it seems almost certain that the problematic past is indeed true.
‘Haha, Kim Kiryeo, that guy.’
I clasped my hands behind my back as I looked over the tip-off post and soon laughed in vain.
‘No money, no magic, and now even morality?’
In any case, I’ve clearly ended up in the wrong body, and not just by a little.
***
The online world is currently overflowing with anger toward a certain S-rank individual.
[This is on another level.]
[Phew… No wonder I felt sothing was off since the S-rank announcent.]
[Physiognomy is real science.]
It’s a sport with a lot of cost-effectiveness to curse at a sinner who deserves to be cursed at. If I had to make a taphor, I feel like I’m being beaten nonstop like a piñata on my birthday.
Of course, so netizens insisted that they should watch the situation carefully… But given how shocking the evidence photos presented alongside the exposé were, there hasn’t been much change in public opinion. The dia outlets have featured it as a main article, and there are even Y-Tube videos racking up views.
If this continues, my reputation will not only drop but will be digging itself a hole.
“Hmm.”
However, honestly, there is nothing I can do about the situation.
That would be the case because I failed to recover my mories despite my best efforts.
‘I don’t even know the victim’s face, so how can I deal with it?’
Now that things have co to this, the only option left is to quickly change my body and alter my identity.
“Today is the ranking update date, so I guess I will stay in 9th place for the next 3 months.”
I picked up my phone. While I was at it, I thought about checking if the dragon’s lungs were up for sale.
[Search results: 0]
“Damn it.”
There weren’t any today either.
About seven hours had passed… since I fell asleep in disappointnt after searching for the results.
– Tiring, ringing.
I opened my eyes to the sound of a machine ringing at my bedside.
8:14 AM. It feels a bit early for a call, doesn’t it?
“Ahem, hello?”
– Hyung-nim!
“Oh, yeah. It’s Yoonseung.”
I barely managed to lift my swollen eyelids, heavy with accumulated fluids, as I answered the call.
“What?”
But the news I heard over the phone was…
– It’s all sorted out! I’ll send you the link to that post right away. Check it out, Hyung-nim!
Tuk.
The call quickly ended while I was still bewildered. I stared blankly at my phone, which had gone dark, but soon after, a text ssage arrived from Yoonseung’s number.
[Regarding fnalt’s false accusations.]
What Yoonseung sent was a link to a post with this title. For reference, “fnalt” is the nickna of the author who posted the first exposé.
According to An Yoonseung, everything has been resolved with this one post titled [Regarding the False Accusations…]. For now, I don’t know what’s going on.
I rubbed my eyelids and checked the post in question. But as soon as I read the first paragraph, my sleepiness instantly vanished.
===============================
Title: Regarding fnalt’s false accusations.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
You are such a shaless person.
How could you think of putting Kim Kiryeo’s na on that picture when I am alive and well?
Hello. Everyone on the free bulletin board.
First, let introduce myself.
I am a classmate of Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo who graduated from the sa middle school.
I am the female student from the photo that was included in the original accusations post.
===============================
If it is the female student in the photo…
‘Is she the one with the mosaic over her face?’
As I scrolled through the post, the next line contained completely unexpected information.
==============================
…but that photo is certainly not the situation described by the accuser.
That’s not soone being forcibly dragged, but it was a scene of soone helping .
The content of the post was made up by fnalt.
And given that they have that photo, I have a pretty good idea of who the person behind the false accusations is…
You criminal b*stard.
Did you think I would stay quiet for the rest of my life?
I’ll make it clear here.
I was a victim of school violence.
And the one who saved was
Kim Kiryeo.
==============================
After that, the author attached a two-minute video at the bottom of the post. The scenery in the video looked oddly familiar.
A student was crying. The ti was around sunset, and the gray wall in the background was captured in the fra.
The photo uploaded in the exposure article was definitely of this composition.
‘That photo was taken on the sa day!’
This is the sa incident fild from a different angle.
-…!
-…What?
-What did you say?…this girl.
As soon as the video started playing, it showed a girl’s back surrounded by students. However, I wasn’t sure if calling them students was accurate. The low video quality made it difficult to determine their ages, but those surrounding the girl were all dressed maturely.
– XX… how ridiculous to look down on others like that.
– But this kid is useless?
– Well.
The girl turned around and began to argue with the person in front of her. The guy with the perm had been touching her body for a while, even though she kept telling him to stop. He continued to playfully nudge her arm and would grab her shoulder whenever she tried to run away.
– Hey!
At that mont, the person holding the cara shouted loudly. The students imdiately stopped their actions and turned to look in this direction all at once.
– What are you guys doing?
Afterward, the caraman said a few words to the gathered students. “What are you doing? The girl looks like she hates it, why are you doing this? Stop it.” Well, just the usual, cliché phrases.
– What’s that brat filming for?
The delinquent boy laughed and threatened at the unexpected intrusion, but their attitude didn’t last long.
– I just called the police.
As soon as the caraman said this, the students imdiately stiffened their expressions.
– Ah, what is this?
– Isn’t he crazy?
– What the f*ck…
The police are coming, what can they do? They didn’t know what to do and just exchanged curses, but the caraman took advantage of this gap to approach the female student. And he said this.
– Are you okay?
– …
– Let’s stay away from them for now. Co here. Hurry up.
The caraman, noticing the terrified girl who couldn’t respond, quickly took action. He grabbed her arm and led her away from the bullies, creating so distance between them. This must have been the scene depicted in the photo ntioned in the exposé—soone being pulled away for their safety.
=============================
As you can see, the person filming the video is Kim Kiryeo.
Kiryeo fild this video to help who was being bullied at school.
I kept the copy he gave separately.
=============================
The author then calmly explained the story behind the video.
She revealed that she was a forr child actor and had focused on her studies to complete her compulsory education in middle school. During this ti, she encountered a group of bullies in her class who began to harass her.
They started to isolate her for ridiculous reasons, like claiming she had a celebrity complex or acted superior. What began as re sarcasm gradually got worse. The bullies began to engage in increasingly severe behaviors, even resorting to illegal acts to harm her.
=============================
The scene in the video is where they called a male student they were close with and tried to harass .
Of course it’s a cri. But they didn’t really care.
‘She’s an actress, and if any strange rumors spread about her, it’ll only hurt her. So she can’t just report it recklessly.’
That group basically thought like this.
=============================
The problem got bigger and bigger. Sadly, the author of this post admitted that she was unable to report the bullies, just as the perpetrators had suggested.
She was worried that this incident would affect her future image. Moreover, during that ti, she was experiencing various stresses, making her ntally unstable and anxious.
=============================
I didn’t have the confidence to endure the situation getting bigger.
I didn’t want the news to be published.
I also didn’t want to bring my family to school.
Since the other party was also a student, I thought that reporting it for such minor contact wouldn’t lead to any real punishnt anyway…
So at that ti, I couldn’t take any proper action.
Don’t approach the perpetrators again. If sothing like this happens again, I will definitely sue them all.
I gave them vague warnings like this.
=============================
The author had reached a point where even recalling the school violence beca unbearable, deciding to bury it all. Yet, it seed she regretted this choice she had made in the past.
[Looking back, it was a mistake.]
If you scroll down a bit, this is what’s written in the text.
[If I hadn’t let it slide back then, today’s situation might not have happened.]
The outline of fnalt, who wrote the false accusation post, was revealed in the remaining text of the post.
=============================
…the one who wrote the false accusation post, fnalt.
There was a ti when I thought I should forgive you, considering it was just a mistake from our younger days.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that all of this was a sprout that I kept quiet about.
But thanks to that picture, I knew who you were right away.
As you can see in the video, there was only one person there fiddling with his phone.
Furthermore, the statent from the exposure post that said, “If she tells anyone, we’ll take care of her and those with her,” weighed heavily on my mind.
I still rember it clearly.
That’s what you used to scare .
You always told in the bathroom that you had nothing to lose, that if I didn’t want to ruin my life, I should stay away from you.
You threatened with scissors. You dragged a weak student around after school. It was all your actions.
How dare you belittle others based on your own experiences?
And you chose the righteous ones like Kiryeo.
=============================
So, this ans that the first false accusations post was all fabricated, and it even imitated the author’s school days?
I held my phone and briefly exclaid.
The residents of Alphauri are second to none in terms of human nature…Now that I think about it, Earthlings aren’t that bad either. This incident made even , a native Alphauri, stick out my tongue.
=============================
I will no longer cower like a coward.
I will do my best for the friend who helped , and I will ensure that fnalt, who falsely accused Kim Kiryeo, pays the price he deserves.
Thank you for reading this far.
=============================
In the situation where the most significant piece of evidence, the school bullying photo, was revealed to be fabricated, what would the subsequent developnts be?
Well, of course, the internet went crazy again in the aftermath of this post. Even at this mont, new reactions were pouring in like a flood.
[Sohow I thought it was strange;;]
[Breaking News) fnalt this brat deleted his post]
[This is really crazy]
[It says there’s no page for the expose. Wow, but now that they’ve shown up, do they really think they won’t get caught? LOL.]
‘So that’s why Ahn Yoonseung said that everything was resolved with one post.’
I nodded as I surveyed the atmosphere of the bulletin board. The sudden twist was a bit surprising, but still, I felt a sense of relief that the troubling situation had been resolved.
“Huh?”
But then.
“….”
I paused for a mont after spotting a comnt while scrolling down the screen. Once I read the three characters of the na ntioned in the comnt, I quietly returned to the post page I had first opened.
[Regarding fnalt’s false accusations.]
There were two pieces of information written at the top of this page.
One was the title of the post.
And the other was.
