Chapter 347 – Cleanup (2)
News that the academy had been wrecked spread like wildfire across various communities.
There was no need for any fake news since this wasn’t even a creepypasta.
Adding credibility to the reports, recent photos were being uploaded.
“Oh? Shinwoo, someone seems to have noticed already.”
“At least we don’t have any photos, so that’s a relief!”
“I’m worried something might go wrong.”
“Don’t worry, Shinwoo, we’re fine.”
Now, even newspapers were picking up on the story.
【Breaking News! The Academy is Destroyed!】
【An unprecedented event since the founding of the nation!】
【Exclusive! Is there an academy that crumbles faster than any novel?】
[……I think I can guess which novel they mean.]
“F*ck. This is seriously precarious.”
As mentioned earlier, the academy was a central element of the nation.
If it crumbled, it would undeniably attract everyone’s attention.
Now, various speculative articles had begun to surface.
【Which terrorist organization is behind this incident?】
【The academy has been attacked. Is this the end or just the beginning?】
【Could this just be season 1? Is a second attack coming like with Kemono’s second season?】
In response, other articles started popping up quickly to keep up.
Mostly articles representing groups that could be suspected.
【The innocence of Gate Creating Ability Users is whiter than the white powder; “We only opened gates to transport high-ups’ drugs, we never transported monsters.”】
【In a rush while eating tteokbokki, Nobel-chan replied, “The only things we blow up are servers and tteokbokki packaging.”】
【The explosive construction crew’s angry claim, “Why would we blow up the academy? We’re already furious because of baseball!”】
Even countries that usually snarled at each other cautiously began speaking up.
【North Korea’s condolences, “This incident reminds us once again of the seriousness of terrorism. As a UN member state, we oppose all forms of terrorism and any support for it.”】
【Japan’s urgent statement, “Dokdo is an island in the East Sea and undeniably ‘Korean’ territory.”】
【China’s outrageous proposal, “We can provide as many ‘Chinese-made’ materials as needed. This time, it won’t explode.”】
[Why are the little pups that usually bark like crazy acting this way?]
“Barking would get them torn to shreds.”
This reaction was completely understandable.
From a somewhat extreme viewpoint, this was a terrorist act against the nation.
Hence, the Korean government must have been furious.
It wouldn’t be surprising if they did anything under the sun.
In this situation, it’s a matter of timing; recklessness could lead to irreparable damage.
And right now…
[What do you plan to do now?]
“From now on, it begins.”
It was time to let the seeds I had sown sprout.
Just like before, I kept posting videos in the community.
Using multiple accounts, I commented the same content in different tones.
Isn’t that the academy’s chief in the video mating with a monster?
And then, something slightly different began to unfold this time.
Specifically in the comments section.
– Freedom for Research Students: Yo, that’s definitely the academy chief!
– Just Want to Graduate Fast: That’s the pig chief for sure. No doubt about it.
– Fire Me: That’s f*cking definitely the chief.
This time, support began to appear without me commenting.
Looking at the usernames, they seemed to be related to the academy and the current incident.
This was my golden opportunity.
I quickly spread HAL with other accounts to divert the attention of the armband towards something else.
[Isn’t it pitiful? Look how hard they’re working to erase HAL!]
‘Well, if you’re a high-salaried employee, it’s part of the job.’
While I was engrossed in my phone, Ayeon grumbled.
“What the hell are you doing on your phone that you aren’t even paying attention to me?”
“Then come here and see for yourself.”
As I showed Ayeon what I was doing just as I was uploading HAL.
“No way, f*ck, are you crazy? Get away from me!!!”
“Alright.”
Ayeon freaked out and distanced herself from me.
Anyway, thanks to my actions, the video of the chief in the mating video remained and the comment section started to blow up.
Like a small snowball rolling down a slope turning into a huge avalanche.
Of course, with an active comment section, there was every type of content.
This is the double-edged sword of a community.
For example, fierce competition among perverts.
– Real Isekai Tentacle Lover: Why are you fcking with the normal tentacles instead of looking at weird sht, you idiot.
ㄴ Animal Lover: At this rate, we might see some fckers doing it to humans, fck.
– Human C*ck: I’m a sexual minority. Unlike you all, I like human women. Please respect my preferences.
ㄴ Pokémon Masterbation: You disgusting f*cker. I’m off to catch Pokémon.
– Gay Gay: I see some f*cking dudes going in there? That’s impossible for us.
ㄴ Attack Beast Unit: Just because you have a d*ck, does that mean you’re a dude? Even if you have one, if I’m aroused, then you’re all women!
ㄴㄴ Expert Narrator: Feeling the discomfort of something entering his rectum, he thought to himself.
ㄴㄴㄴ Defense Unit: Ah, I was the defender. F*ck.
– Harmonious Family: It’s fine. Honestly, I’d rather watch mom and younger sibling stuff.
ㄴ My Affection (Love Beast): They say people who watch incest don’t have a mom or younger sibling.
ㄴㄴ Harmonious Family: Then why the fck are you watching this, you btch.
ㄴㄴㄴ My Affection (Love Beast): I have no monsters.
Or attempting to stir chaos by challenging someone’s opinion.
– Special Weekend: That f*cker is definitely the chief. I could use my mom.
ㄴ Anonymous (223.32): That f*cker’s mom is a whore. She’s lying in my bed right now.
ㄴㄴ Special Weekend: Which mom?
ㄴㄴㄴ Anonymous (223.32): ……Ah.
‘Having a 50% resistance to pad jokes is great at times like this.’
[……What is that guy doing if he’s not at the Champions Meeting?]
‘Maybe he popped by after protesting against Kakao Games.’
Finally, was my hard work paying off?
At last, the seeds I planted began to sprout.
【The reporters can’t see it, so I’m writing this article! If you don’t know what it is, just click it!】
【Is this the academy? A crazy f*cker actually hunting in a public institution?】
【But can pig-monster breeding really be possible? What do experts think about this?】
【Even demons are astounded; “I have no idea who the monster is.”】
【Japan sends heartfelt admiration, “The peculiar sexual desires of Japan aren’t even close to those of Korea.”】
Finally, with the articles starting to come out.
There were still just a few, but the chief’s secrets getting out was just a matter of time.
Numerous victims could be generated in the process, but.
I honestly didn’t care about that.
Meanwhile, Hyeji and Elcia began to show signs of doubt.
What was I up to exactly, and how was everything unfolding?
“Shinwoo, what did you do to make such an article come out?”
“If you click this, you’ll know, right?”
“Everyone please stop! For this once, listen to me!”
“Y-Yeah! The real demon isn’t her but Shinwoo!!!”
‘Honestly, compared to the Chuchang Kingdom, this doesn’t seem that bad.’
[……Either way, both are far from a healthy web novel.]
Of course, Ayeon, who had caught on to some of the situation.
And Caressy, who knew the whole story, desperately tried to stop it.
Anyway, the fact that an article came out was a huge boon for me.
Exposing the chief’s true nature was one reason, but.
There was one more reason.
【I staked my grandfather’s name on this. Ultimately, it’s all due to the monsters!】
【The deep and sticky relationship between the monster and the chief. Could the reason for the academy’s downfall be?】
【The destruction of the academy is just the beginning of a grand revenge tragedy?】
【Shouting love at the end of the academy! What happened to the love escapade they were trying to unfold?】
It was the onset of conspiracy theories.
There were articles close to tabloid journalism.
And then there were some articles that made sharp speculations.
Of course, I didn’t want either.
Through such chaotic articles, society’s focus would be drawn.
Not to me, but to the chief and the monsters.
And it was likely that the shift in focus was the same from the government’s perspective.
Not long after.
The government called several representatives of the academy for a hearing.
Naturally, I was included as the student council president.
“Shinwoo, if you think it’s going south, call me. Let’s kill them all and run away.”
“I’ll pack the escape gear just in case!”
“And if things go wrong, I’ll keep you at home forever. Just know, you might move a bit awkwardly after.”
“Coming to the Beastman Kingdom is fine. Everyone will just brush it off since you’re a dog.”
“……Why do you assume I’ll be the one in trouble, you crazy girls?”
Anyway, this was the final hurdle for me.
Thus, I began to move forward, leaving the heroines behind.
Towards the hearing being led by the nation.
