[Professor Oh Seok-gwang Apologizes to Aaron… ”It Was All a Frame-up by Lee Yeon-soo”]

Was it Lee Yeon-soo’s doing?
Wow, oh my god.
Where are the people who were cursing Aaron? They were absolutely insisting he was a Dust.
I’m shocked by Lee Yeon-soo.
Is it true? Why would Suid do something like that?
I can’t believe it.

└ Then you’re saying Professor Oh lied?

Hul.
Is it okay for Professor Oh to say things like that? I heard the Center cherishes Lee Yeon-soo; won’t he face disadvantages? I’m worried since Professor Oh is an outsider…
Can we trust that professor? Wasn’t he the one who said Guides just sell their bodies to make easy money in the past?

└ Right. Those screenshots were chilling.

└ I’ve been avoiding him since then. I don’t know why he has such a good image.

└ Too immersed in the community. I avoid people who talk like this in real life.

└ Still nitpicking over things from the past. Perceptions were different back then.

└ What do you mean ”perceptions”? That was only four years ago. How different is it then versus now?

└ Yeon-fans have nothing to say, so it’s pathetic how they’re attacking Professor Oh.

└ When they can’t attack the message, they attack the messenger.

I can’t believe it.
I believed Aaron.
He worked so hard on his public image, this is crazy lol.
Wow, Lee Yeon-soo. The sense of betrayal is insane.
Shouldn’t we hear Lee Yeon-soo’s side first? I’m neutral.

└ If you’re neutral, don’t even say you’re neutral.

I’m neutral too.

[A quote I want to show the “neutral” crowd right now:

Neutrality only benefits the perpetrator and provides no help to the victim; silence ultimately means siding with the oppressor.

]

True. I was surprised by how many people are claiming neutrality this time.
Neutrality is secondary victimization.
Where is there such a thing as neutrality? They’re just bullshit-talking because they’re Yeon-fans.
I really want to tell this to my friend who says they’re neutral about this incident.
If you want to be neutral, be neutral about Aaron too. It’s so pathetic how you all ganged up on him because he was weak, but the moment you hear Lee Yeon-soo framed him, you suddenly shift into neutral gear. Yeon-fans are truly malicious.

└ The people misusing a great person’s quote just to bash Lee Yeon-soo are more malicious.

[Reasons why it’s hard to believe Professor Oh Seok-gwang’s words:

If Aaron were truly innocent, why did he stall for time?

If he were wronged, he could have gone for a test that day. Why did he disappear and only show up the next day?

Since Dust cannot be detected after three days, it’s common to get tested as quickly as possible if you’re innocent. Disappearing without a word is suspicious.

Esper Moon Seon-woo is the ace of KN.

Even at the Esper Academy, he’s second only to Joo Seung-hyuk.

This means he received Guiding from Lee Yeon-soo at the Academy and from high-rank Guides at KN.

And yet, he went into shock because he couldn’t accept Aaron’s mana?

Lee Yeon-soo has no reason to lie.

According to the articles, Moon Seon-woo collapsed, and Lee Yeon-soo said it was because of Red Rune Shock.

Then Moon Seon-woo received treatment at the hospital.

If Lee Yeon-soo had lied, it would have been [Read on Read BL Novels]exposed at the hospital. Why [visit our site]would he tell such an obvious lie?

KN also called it Red Rune Shock.

KN said it was Red Rune Shock.

Why would KN lie about the symptoms of their own Esper?

Oh Seok-gwang lacks credibility.

Despite being high-rank, Oh Seok-gwang’s mana is low, so he has little field experience.

On broadcasts, he talks as if he was unfairly pushed aside because he had no connections, but he was just distanced from the promotion track because he lacked ability.

It’s surprising he even became a professor to teach students. Even becoming a professor was thanks to the media. Everyone who knows, knows.

It’s not the first or second time he caused a stir in the industry by talking nonsense about Guiding.

He probably knows less about Guiding than Lee Yeon-soo does.

It’s suspicious that he’s suddenly acting like this.

Aaron is less skilled than Lee Yeon-soo.

Lee Yeon-soo has been active in the field ever since his Awakening. On the other hand, Aaron has zero activity as a Guide.

Aside from David, Aaron’s family has high ranks but almost no activity as Awakened.

Han Gun-cheol was injured as soon as he went to Italy.

Aaron’s father is an S-Class, but he’s a healing-type Esper who hates running gates; he’s basically just a broadcast producer now.

Even in the US, Aaron is famous as a TV star rather than a Guide.

No matter if you’re S-Class, skills regress if you don’t hone them.

And yet, an Esper who has been consistently receiving Guiding from Lee Yeon-soo goes into shock because Aaron’s mana is “too superior”? It makes no sense.]

I’m dropping this at the part where it says Moon Seon-woo is second to Joo Seung-hyuk.
An ignorant person wrote a lot.
“Lee Yeon-soo would have no reason to lie” lol.

└ So you’re still intoxicated by the “kind Lee Yeon-soo.” How pathetic.

└ (OP) Who said he was kind? I’m saying there’s no reason to tell a lie that would be exposed immediately.

Ignorant from start to finish. Are Yeon-fans stupid?
Wow, look at them attacking unauthorized copyAaron now, after they were Read on Read BL Novelstearing down Professor Oh [unauthorized copy]to shield Lee Yeon-soo.
Why are they clinging to Guide Aaron? So pathetic.
What does it matter if Moon Seon-woo is with KN?

└ (OP) KN is number one for Guides. If Moon Seon-woo is with KN, he would have met all the high-rank Guides in Korea. It makes no sense that he’d go into shock purely because of Aaron’s mana.

└ Who says KN is number one for Guides? It’s Seong Han lol.

└ That’s why you’re so ignorant.

Where else is there someone who speaks up for mid-to-low rank ability users as much as Professor Oh? Even if you’re crazy about a celebrity, this is too much.
This is not the opinion of a Lee Yeon-soo fan.
(OP) I’m not a fan of anyone. I’m a Guide too, and I just wrote this because there were contradictions in Professor Oh’s words.

└ Not a single thing is correct from start to finish, yet he claims to be a Guide. Hilarious.

Crazy over a bias to write something like this.
Since when was Moon Seon-woo the ace of KN lol.
Moon Seon-woo is indeed the ace of KN, and it’s true that KN is 1st if you only count Guides. Looking at it, nothing is particularly wrong, yet they’re being so sarcastic.

└ So the ones calling others “ignorant” here seem more ignorant.

└ They’re just excited now that they have a chance to bash Guide Yeon-soo.

└ Yeon-fans, just get lost.

└ Lee Yeon-soo fans are freaking hilarious.

└ Yeon-fans, stop shielding him here and go read the ItsFact article. Your oppa is finished.

Kim Joon did not use the internet. He had never been interested in such things, but after entering the Academy, he made a conscious effort to avoid it.

This was because many people cursed the F-Rank Guide who had entered the Academy.

However, upon hearing that a flood of criticism was pouring in toward Yeon-soo sunbae, he checked the internet for the first time in a while.

Fortunately, there were people taking Yeon-soo sunbae’s side, but the majority were humans pouring out insults, swept up by Professor Oh’s words.

Even on posts that stated accurate facts or pointed Read on Read BL Novelsout contradictions visit our sitein Professor Oh’s statements, a string of sarcastic comments followed.

Kim Joon felt frustrated and angry, wanting to correct the facts, but he couldn’t write any posts because he wasn’t registered in the community, and the sign-up button was nowhere to be seen.

‘How on earth do I write a post?’

He had only accidentally accessed the community site while searching the internet, so he was clueless about everything.

Kim Joon bit his lip in frustration. Then, people suddenly started talking about ‘ItsFact’.

‘ItsFact’ was a gossip medium famous for paparazzi photos of celebrities.

Kim Joon first clicked on the article people were mentioning.

[ItsFact Focus – The Only S-Class Guide is Me! The Hidden Reality of Lee Yeon-soo Concealed Behind an Angelic Face.]

South Korea was enthusiastic about the comet-like appearance of Lee Yeon-soo, the first S-Class Guide to appear in over ten years.

Genius skill, a pure and beautiful face, and even a kind personality.

Lee Yeon-soo was South Korea’s treasure and enjoyed idol-like popularity. But did he mistake himself for an actual idol?

When Aaron Han, a true global star, came to Korea, Lee Yeon-soo’s mask was stripped away.

ItsFact obtained the conversation between Lee Yeon-soo and Aaron and reconstructed the situation of that day.

On May X, Aaron Han entered South Korea, his second hometown, with high hopes.

At the Esper Academy, he introduced himself as follows:

“Hello. I am S-Class Guide Han Min-ho. I am 20 years old in Korean age. South Korea is my grandfather’s country. It is my second hometown.”

It was the fresh greeting of a cute young man who had just turned twenty. The Academy students gathered in the auditorium beamed with smiles. But only one person could not smile.

That person was Lee Yeon-soo, whose position as the sole S-Class Guide at the Esper Academy was now threatened.

That day, Professor Oh Seok-gwang asked Lee Yeon-soo to guide Aaron around the school. It was a consideration, hoping the S-Class Guides would get along. Aaron was also excited. However, Lee Yeon-soo was merely cold.

‘Guide Aaron.’

Lee Yeon-soo called him that. Not once did he call him ‘Han Min-ho’. It was a warning that South Korea was his territory and Aaron should not enter.

After that, Lee Yeon-soo continued to be on edge.

Aaron – I want to become an imprinted guide.

Lee Yeon-soo – Compared to freelance guides, imprinted guides are incompetent.

Aaron – Isn’t that not the case?

Lee Yeon-soo – I cannot agree with Guide Aaron’s words.

Aaron – What?

Lee Yeon-soo – I have performed Guiding for many Espers so far. Guide Aaron lacks experience, right?

Lee Yeon-soo attacked Aaron’s weakness and looked down on him. It was the same after that.

Kim Joon stopped reading the article. No, he didn’t even want to call it an ‘article’. This was a complete work of fiction.

It claimed that Lee Yeon-soo looked down on Aaron, and while he did date Park Geon-woo, he found him lacking compared to Joo Seung-hyuk because he had no money and was narrow-minded, and that he criticized the Academy students as incompetent.

There was no way Yeon-soo sunbae would have said such things. This was 100% a false rumor.

However, the comments were in an uproar.

Do you trust ItsFact?
I can’t read the articles here because the sentences are too cringey. How does it keep getting worse?
Isn’t this too much of a novel?
This isn’t a KakaoTalk chat, but actual conversation content, right? How do we know Lee Yeon-soo actually said those words?
I’m shifting into neutral gear for now.

While there were reactions like the ones above, most believed the article and poured blind criticism upon Yeon-soo sunbae.

Trash, we were deceived, it was all an act, I’m disappointed, did he frame him because he was afraid Aaron would naturalize in Korea? Chilling, detestable, I regret liking Lee Yeon-soo, and so on. Watching the endless stream of insulting comments, Kim Joon felt rage.

What on earth did they know about Yeon-soo sunbae to be able to pour out such insults after reading a novel like this?

For those who say they can’t trust ItsFact, go watch YouTX. A video from ItsFact was uploaded to YouTX.

Seeing that comment, Kim Joon went to YouTX. As said, a video of Lee Yeon-soo had been uploaded to the ItsFact YouTX channel.

[ItsFact – The Hidden Two Faces of Lee Yeon-soo]

Kim Joon clicked the video. Then, Lee Yeon-soo’s face appeared in a large shot.

“Guide Aaron.”

“I have performed Guiding for many Espers so far.”

“I cannot agree with Guide Aaron’s words.”

“That would mean the Espers who received Guiding from me are also idiots who cannot even distinguish a Guide’s rank.”

“Is Guide Aaron ignoring the Espers of South Korea?”

“Please be careful in the future. It is a disrespectful remark not only to me but to others as well.”

“Guide Aaron, it seems you are truly unskilled in Korean.”

“Sigh…”

What is this…

Kim Joon was flabbergasted. This was nothing more than clips of things Yeon-soo sunbae had said, cut and spliced together. Of course, it was true that Yeon-soo sunbae looked more displeased than usual. However, in a situation where it was unknown what conversation had taken place with Aaron, this could not serve as any evidence.

But people thought differently.

Wow, Lee Yeon-soo’s temper is insane.
How did he hide that personality until now?
Where did the neutral crowd go? lol.
I knew his personality was like that from when he acted all high and mighty saying he’d only hold hands during Guiding.
They say you can’t hide your nature by your looks. I felt something was off from the first time I saw him. I couldn’t understand the kids who went crazy saying he was pretty.
Look at him mocking Aaron for not being good at Korean. Does he speak English well? Aaron is perfect in English, Italian, and Korean, while he’s acting all superior just because he speaks one language, Korean. How pathetic.
Aaron asked him to call him Han Min-ho, but he insisted on ‘Guide Aaron, Guide Aaron’. Anyone who knows what that means will understand. He’s subtly isolating the person.
Calling them idiots. How low-class. Was Lee Yeon-soo that kind of person?

Comments poured in instantly. Most were insults.

What? I watched it because they said the video was even more shocking, but there’s nothing there. I thought it was the conversation from the article, but it’s not. How can I believe this just by seeing this?

└ Are you a fool? They probably posted it this way to hide the informant.

└ What does splicing a video have to do with hiding an informant?

└ They’re trying to hide the angle from which it was filmed.

└ Truly stupid. Then just believe Lee Yeon-soo’s lies.

He’s not even cursing, and he doesn’t seem to have said anything particularly bad, so why the fuss? It looks fine to me.

└ If this really looks fine to you, your social skills must be severely lacking.

└ He’s using other Espers as an excuse to press him down. So that he can’t refute what was said.

└ He’s basically saying “I’m right about everything, so you shut up.” Don’t you understand?

└ Is “idiot” not a bad word? I can tell what your personality is like too.

Occasionally, objective comments were posted, but they were met with insults instead.

It seemed as if everyone’s reason had been paralyzed.

This is a low-quality splice. Guide Lee Yeon-soo is not someone who would ignore or press others down. I have met him in person, and he was a very kind and gentle person.

If the contents of the article are true, please release the full video.

Kim Joon left a comment. He believed in Yeon-soo sunbae. The contents of the article must all be lies. He couldn’t trust this video either.

As he left the comments, a related video appeared with the title ‘Now I Can Speak – Lee Yeon-soo’s Devilish Nature’.

Kim Joon clicked that video too. And he immediately regretted it.

“Hello. This is Reporter Jo.”

This guy’s video?

He was a former reporter from the Superpower Ministry of a large newspaper. However, he had been fired from his job on charges of bribery and was currently active as a YouTuber.

He told all sorts of provocative stories about Ability Users, but every single one was unverified nonsense. No Ability User liked him. Kim Joon was no exception.

“Lee Yeon-soo is causing a stir right now, isn’t he? That’s why I hurriedly filmed this video. My appearance is a bit shabby, so please understand. Well, you didn’t come to see my face anyway.

Cutting to the chase, Lee Yeon-soo is known to be kind, but in reality, he’s a damn cunning kid. He doesn’t even treat people as human if they aren’t high-rank. He views non-Ability Users as insects.

The fact that he rejected the contract with Joo Seung-hyuk seven years ago was also a result of him using his brain. He weighed which side would be more beneficial and decided.

If he had signed the contract then, he would have just been Seong Han’s. But because he didn’t, everyone from all over the place rushed to Lee Yeon-soo.

That probably felt good when he was young. Everyone coddling him.

But now that he’s grown up, he regrets it. Seong Han is doing far better than seven years ago. They’re expanding globally. Only Seong Han among Korean companies is in the world’s top 10. Of course, they were the best in Korea seven years ago too, but they hadn’t grown this much.

Moreover, Lee Yeon-soo has a weakness.

During the Horaitron Gate incident two years ago, Lee Yeon-soo almost died. Since then, he can’t enter gates. So he’s become a half-baked Guide.

He tried to inflate his price to go to a corporation, but who would pay that much for a defective product? So he changed his goal to marrying into wealth.

That’s why during the Academy’s mock training, Lee Yeon-soo told the professor. He asked to be in the same group as Joo Seung-hyuk.

What would happen if a pretty kid like Lee Yeon-soo, an S-Class to boot, offered Guiding, held hands, kissed, and threw himself at him? No matter how strong Joo Seung-hyuk is, he’d have to fall for it. Plus, he even stopped the Rampage.

I actually have a lot to say about that Rampage incident too, but not here.

Anyway, he managed to snag Joo Seung-hyuk. But then Aaron arrived.

Aaron has a good family, is rich, and moreover, is a dominant omega.

Alphas eventually look for Omegas when it’s time to marry. That male actor who got married recently—he dated a Beta for a long time but eventually went to an Omega.

There’s no way Lee Yeon-soo wouldn’t know that. That’s why he felt even more inferior to Aaron.

So he kept checking Aaron from the start at the Academy. But it didn’t work. Joo Seung-hyuk was starting to show signs of leaning toward Aaron. So the kid completely lost it. That’s why he said Aaron used Dust.”

I should have turned it off as soon as it started…

Kim Joon felt pathetic for watching such a trashy video to the end.

Not a single thing from start to finish was correct.

Even now, there was a line of places trying to scout Yeon-soo sunbae. Even if the claim that he couldn’t enter a gate was true, the fact that a Guide—who isn’t even an Esper—couldn’t enter a gate wasn’t a significant problem.

The claim that Yeon-soo sunbae was throwing himself at Joo Seung-hyuk was even more absurd. If anything, it was the other way around. Moreover, Joo Seung-hyuk didn’t have a shred of interest in Aaron.

To be honest, Kim Joon disliked Joo Seung-hyuk. He was an incredibly rude and coarse human being, obnoxious from start to finish.

However, Joo Seung-hyuk was sincere about Lee Yeon-soo. Lee Yeon-soo was always reflected in his eyes.

Kim Joon was confident that he liked Lee Yeon-soo more than anyone else. Although it was admiration, he believed his feelings for him were second to none.

He had studied hard and made it all the way to the Esper Academy solely because he wanted to meet Lee Yeon-soo. Everyone said it was impossible for an F-Rank, but he never gave up.

But in front of Joo Seung-hyuk, he felt like he vanished.

Whenever Kim Joon looked at Lee Yeon-soo, Joo Seung-hyuk was always standing at the end of that gaze. Before Kim Joon even looked at Lee Yeon-soo, Joo Seung-hyuk was already staring at him.

As if Lee Yeon-soo were the only thing that existed in his world.

He didn’t know about rank, trait, or wealth, but he intended not to lose when it came to the depth of his affection; yet, looking at Joo Seung-hyuk, he felt he was losing even in that.

A man like that, interested in Aaron? It was absolute bullshit.

But other people didn’t think so.

As expected of Reporter Jo, someone you can always trust. So Lee Yeon-soo was that kind of person.
I heard Joo Seung-hyuk even bought him an S-Class weapon as a gift; it’s understandable he’d lose his mind.
He must have regretted it immensely as he got older.
So saving him during the Rampage was just a strategy. Lee Yeon-soo is scary.
I knew Lee Yeon-soo’s personality was trash from the moment he dumped Park Geon-woo for Joo Seung-hyuk.
It’s because he’s been pampered and spoiled since he was young. In the old days, he would’ve just been locked up and spent his life XXing. I’m appalled to see how Guides are worshipped these days. I don’t know what the world is coming to.

Fuming, Kim Joon left comments claiming it was all a lie. However, beneath his posts, there were only mocks asking if Lee Yeon-soo had been paid to write them.

[I get PTSD every time someone says “Guide Aaron, Guide Aaron”]

Right. Only people who’ve actually experienced it know.
More than anything, that’s the worst. Those who ask “how is that bullying?” must be so lucky to be so oblivious.

└ Right. Maybe they’re the ones doing it.

Yeah, the PTSD is real.
I’d rather be hit; drawing a line like that is truly the worst.

[Lee Yeon-soo’s fans ganging up on Professor Oh yesterday was totally creepy.

It was scary seeing all of Professor Oh’s mistakes being dragged up one by one.]

Exactly. Where are all the people who were attacking Professor Oh yesterday?
They should all be sued.
The fan shield was enormous.
Yeon-soo fans are scary. They built an image [visit our site]of a kind fandom just like Lee Read on Read BL NovelsYeon-soo, but their true colors were all revealed yesterday.

└ I guess they have dual personalities just like their bias lol

We must protect Professor Oh. He’s the only one who cares for low-to-mid rank Ability Users.

[Is Lee Yeon-soo a psychopath?

I watched Reporter Jo’s video and it was so scary.

How can a person be like that? It seems like Lee Yeon-soo plotted the Rampage incident too.]

Now you’re believing Reporter Jo’s words on top of ItsFact?
Let’s just ignore Reporter Jo. How many rumors has that man spread?
Look at the Yeon-soo stans rushing to comment lol They can’t refute the content, so they just attack the reporter.

└ Exactly. Same as when they attacked Professor Oh.

[The problem is that Ability Users are worshipped like celebrities. Just like in the old days, everyone should be sent to the military upon Awakening.]

That’s a bit much.
Why are you attacking others just because Lee Yeon-soo messed up alone;;
(OP) Then does the current situation, where people get all the wealth and honor just because they Awakened, look normal to you?

└ It’s not just our country. It’s even worse in other countries.

If you act like that now, the whole world will curse you. Get out of the past.
Then everyone should just naturalize elsewhere.
I hope a gate opens right in front of the houses of people who say things like this.

[I’m a Suid fan, and I hope he apologizes quickly.

Even if it was a mistake, he framed someone and made them suffer unfairly.]

Right, I hope he apologizes soon.
Me too. I hope he admits his mistake and shows he’s reflecting.
It’s already too late. Go away.

└ What if it’s too late?

└ He should retire.

└ Isn’t that a bit too much for retirement?

└ It’s school violence. Are Lee Yeon-soo’s fans psychopaths? He should obviously retire.

└ How is this school violence?

└ Isn’t college school violence?

└ No, Aaron wasn’t a student at the Academy. Besides, the content isn’t something that would be considered school violence.

└ He humiliated someone and framed them, and you’re saying what? Are all Yeon-soo stans psychopaths?

[Aren’t the Yeon-soo stans feeling humbled?

Marketing Lee Yeon-soo’s personality -> Framing + School Violence

Marketing that he rejected money and chose conviction -> Ended up dating a chaebol

First love with Park Geon-woo -> Betrayal]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Humbled indeed.
Seriously. I’m just amazed there are still people stanning him.

└ There are still people stanning him?

└ They’re still doing it on TwX and the Ability User Lounge.

└ The Ability User Lounge too? Isn’t that the biggest among the Ability User cafes?

└ The admin of that cafe is a Lee Yeon-soo fan. Their nick is literally ‘Su-Sarang’. Short for Lee Yeon-soo Sarang (Love).

└ Su-Sarang? Is that for real?

└ The censorship is insane. They’re banning anyone who curses Lee Yeon-soo for “spreading rumors.” Derivative cafes are popping up and it’s chaos.

└ Crazy. The Ability User Lounge has been around for so long. To think it’s falling apart like this.

[Just how weak is that Esper who got the shock?

An Esper gets a shock because the mana was too strong during Guiding lol]

If it were me, I’d retire out of embarrassment lol
A glass body personified.
But wasn’t Lee Yeon-soo originally in charge of him?

└ Aaron must be stronger than Lee Yeon-soo. Lee Yeon-soo is a Beta, while Aaron is Dominant.

└ Then what’s up with the Academy bastards who worshipped Lee Yeon-soo, who is weaker than Aaron, as if he were so great? I heard Moon Seon-woo is also top 2 at the Academy.

└ Aaron >> Lee Yeon-soo >>>>>>> Academy trash

The level of Guides these days is disastrous. There’s no one like Kang Ok-eun. Even the Espers are all garbage unless it’s Joo Seung-hyuk or Park Geon-woo.

Starting with Professor Oh’s apology, malicious reports about Lee Yeon-soo erupted across all media outlets.

Public condemnation poured in. Among them were unspeakable sexual harassments and insults that crossed every line.

The Esper Academy was also in turmoil over this issue. However, unlike other places, it was not swept away by public opinion.

“I almost died of anger while reading the articles yesterday. Does it stolen contentmake any sense that Yeon-soo sunbae threw Read on Read BL Novelshimself at Joo Seung-hyuk just to get married because he had nowhere else to go?”

So-eun burst out in frustration.

She admired Lee Yeon-soo. But even for those who didn’t usually like Lee Yeon-soo as much as So-eun did, most found this situation absurd.

The students of the Academy were fellow Ability Users and knew Lee Yeon-soo’s usual demeanor. Furthermore, they had heard about the events that took place during the ‘Daejeon Gate Raid’ through their seniors and juniors.

As such, they could easily identify the lack of objectivity and the logical contradictions in the articles currently pouring out.

In particular, most Academy students were convinced that Aaron had used Dust.

“That’s why I think people have gone collectively insane. KN released another article saying it was a Red Rune Shock. And then people cursed, saying that they’re only protecting Yeon-soo sunbae because he’s an internal hire for KN.”

As Dong-seok vented his frustration, So-eun’s face crumpled in anger.

“Crazy bastards. One moment they say Yeon-soo sunbae approached Joo Seung-hyuk because he had nowhere to go, and now they say he’s an internal hire for KN?”

“Exactly. They’re cursing Seon-woo sunbae just to take that bastard Aaron’s side. Fuck.”

Unable to contain his anger, Dong-seok spat out a curse.

Moon Seon-woo was currently like a leader for the Academy [unauthorized copy]Espers. He had a Read on Read BL Novelskind personality and took care of his juniors. His Guiding manners unauthorized copywere also excellent, so he had a great reputation among Guides.

Such a man, Moon Seon-woo, had collapsed and had not yet regained consciousness.

It was certain that he had suffered a Red Rune Shock. Not only the students who were at the scene but also the juniors who visited him in the hospital confirmed this fact.

Moreover, Lee Yeon-soo was also hospitalized due to the resulting Mana Shock.

Currently, the prevailing theory at the Academy was that Aaron had targeted Lee Yeon-soo to cover up his own drug allegations.

Professor Oh took Aaron’s side, but no one believed him.

Rather, many cursed him for playing the media against people who were too sick to properly respond. Even students who usually liked him reacted by saying Professor Oh was in the wrong this time.

“It’s all because of that man, Oh Seok-gwang. He trampled over Seon-woo sunbae just to save a druggie.”

Park Ji-hee clicked her tongue.

Professor Oh claimed that Moon Seon-woo suffered the shock because his aptitude was lacking.

Because of that statement, Moon Seon-woo was being mocked everywhere as incompetent. Not only that, but the claim that Lee Yeon-soo’s aptitude was lower than Aaron’s followed.

Furthermore, for the reason that stolen contentLee [Read on Read BL Novels]Yeon-soo was even worse than Moon Seon-woo, the entire student body [unauthorized copy]of the Academy was being denounced as incompetent.

“Why on earth is Professor Oh acting like that?”

So-eun’s voice was full of irritation. The people of the Changwi Guild did not like Professor Oh. This was because they had been subtly ignored for coming from a small guild.

“I know. I went to protest to Professor Oh with the Espers earlier, but he didn’t show up, probably knowing he was wrong. I don’t know what he was thinking to pull something like this. Oh! Joon!”

Ji-hee spotted Kim Joon entering the school cafeteria and waved her hand.

“Hello.”

Kim Joon bowed his head slightly and sat in the seat next to Ji-hee.

“Joon, what happened to your face? Are you sick?”

His face had become noticeably haggard in just one day.

“I just couldn’t sleep much…”

“Why?”

“Just because.”

Kim Joon trailed off. It was difficult to say that he couldn’t sleep because he was angry after seeing the posts about Lee Yeon-soo and the videos spliced together by cyber wreckers.

Ji-hee stared at Kim Joon.

‘Could it be because of Yeon-soo?’

Ji-hee knew that Kim Joon thought of Lee Yeon-soo specially.

He was a guy with a narrow range of emotional change and was indifferent to everything, but the moment Yeon-soo appeared, his expression changed.

His eyes would sparkle, and a bright smile would spread across his lips. The tone of his voice would rise, and he wouldn’t know what to do with himself just from exchanging a single word with him.

At first, she thought it was admiration. Since there were many people who admired Yeon-soo, she thought Kim Joon was just one of them.

But the more she watched, the more she thought he might have feelings beyond that.

However, Ji-hee had no intention of pretending to know those feelings. As long as Lee Yeon-soo was dating Joo Seung-hyuk, it would be better to leave it buried.
