Episode 10 Recap (Season Finale)

1. Hwa-jin's Master Plan The episode opens with Hwa-jin and Geun-dae discussing Chi-ho's mysterious fall from the rooftop in the previous episode. Hwa-jin confronts Cho Gyu-cheol and punches him for speaking ill of Ga-yun. The incident goes viral, and as part of a calculated plan, the ERPB is suspended due to public and political pressure. In reality, Hwa-jin knew this would happen and deliberately allowed it so that Gyu-cheol would let his guard down and expose his true intentions.

2. The Real Motive for Ga-yun's Murder The episode reveals the real reason why Gyu-cheol murdered Ga-yun. A flashback shows Ga-yun trying to steer Gyu-cheol away from his criminal life and forcing him to attend school. Gyu-cheol decided to use other students to sell drugs, and when Ga-yun discovered the drugs in his backpack, she threw them away. Enraged that she was thwarting his operation, he stabbed her.

3. Gyu-cheol's Downfall With the ERPB out of the way, Gyu-cheol expands his drug business with the help of other students, including Seong-gu. However, Hwa-jin's team launches a secret undercover operation: Geun-dae and Han-rim infiltrate the school to collect drugs, and many teachers the ERPB had previously helped join in to gather evidence. Thanks to this, Minister Kang-seok exposes Gyu-cheol's drug network, and the ERPB summarizes his investigation at Jinwon High School.

4. The Final Confrontation Hwa-jin pursues Gyu-cheol, who threatens to kill Seong-gu. During the fight, Hwa-jin allows himself to be stabbed to protect Seong-gu from Gyu-cheol's henchmen. Finally, Hwa-jin defeats Gyu-cheol, who tries to provoke him by mentioning Ga-yun. Instead of killing him, Hwa-jin tells him to try to rebuild his life someday, believing that's what Ga-yun would have wanted. Gyu-cheol is arrested again.

Gyu-cheol's Conspiracy and the Shocking Ending However, it was all a trap set by Gyu-cheol. He was playing both sides: reporting the harassment to the ERPB, but also advising Chi-ho on how to handle the situation, even putting him in touch with a specialized lawyer. After the ERPB intervened, Chi-ho confronted Gyu-cheol, who recorded the conversation in which Chi-ho blamed the ERPB for ruining his life. Gyu-cheol then pushed Chi-ho off the rooftop.

Gyu-cheol gave the recording to Congressman Hwang Gi-tae, who used it to accuse the ERPB of causing a student's "suicide." The ERPB's public approval rating plummeted below 50%. Furthermore, Hwa-jin assaulted Gyu-cheol the next day, forcing Minister Kang-seok to suspend all active ERPB investigators.

Episode 9 Summary

1. Cho Gyu-cheol's Return The episode begins with protests outside Jinwon High School because Cho Gyu-cheol, Ga-yun's killer, has been admitted as a student after being released from prison. Hwa-jin visits Gyu-cheol and warns him that he will be keeping an eye on him as an ERPB officer to ensure he adjusts to school life. At school, the students call him a murderer and ignore him.

2. Gyu-cheol Reports a Bullying Case Gyu-cheol approaches the ERPB to report that a student named Seong-gu is being bullied by a group of friends. Han-rim is deeply suspicious of him, but Minister Kang-seok decides to listen to him. Gyu-cheol mentions Ga-yun to provoke them, but the team stands firm.

3. Han-rim's Undercover Investigation The ERPB discovers that Seong-gu is being exploited by his "friends," led by Chi-ho, who are using his mobile hotspot to play games and run online scams. Han-rim assumes a new identity as an undercover student to infiltrate Chi-ho's circle. Geun-dae gathers evidence at an internet cafe that confirms the abuse.

4. The School Violence Committee Fails Seong-gu The school violence committee wrongly labels Seong-gu as the aggressor, despite his innocence. Han-rim is enraged by the injustice of the process. Seong-gu goes into hiding, and Hwa-jin encourages him to tell the truth. Hwa-jin and Han-rim manage to expose Chi-ho's actions, and the committee is disbanded. Seong-gu is acquired.

The Conspiracy's Advance The episode ends with two key moments:

• Hwa-jin discovers a possible connection between the confiscated drugs and the information Ga-yun wrote in her diary.

• Meanwhile, Cho Gyu-cheol prepares to be released from prison, increasing the tension and the threat to the ERPB team.

Episode 8 Summary

1. Drug Testing and the Elite School The episode begins with the ERPB conducting drug tests at schools across the country. Their main focus is Seungyeon High School, a prestigious institution where students live under extreme pressure from their parents to achieve top academic results.

2. Jung Hyeon-min's Case During a qualifying exam, student Jung Hyeon-min suffers a nosebleed and shows signs of exhaustion. His mother strongly opposes the drug tests and is furious to discover that her son hasn't received the grade she expected.

3. The Truth About the Pills Through flashbacks, it is revealed that Hyeon-min's mother had been pressuring him for years to study medicine and controlled every aspect of his life. Desperate to improve his performance, she began illegally obtaining ADHD medication for him.

Although his academic performance improved, Hyeon-min became physically and emotionally exhausted. The ERPB discovers that several parents are providing medication to their children in this way.

4. Hwa-jin's Intervention and the Outcome When Hyeon-min's health deteriorates, Hwa-jin and Han-rim intervene in time to prevent him from taking more pills. The young man is hospitalized, where he experiences severe withdrawal and finally confesses to his mother that he never wanted the future she had planned for him.

New Political Threats The episode ends with a move on the political front. Opposition politician Hwang Gi-tae meets with Cho Gyu-cheol to hatch a plan. They want to use Ga-yun's death to discredit Minister Kang-seok and the ERPB. This meeting confirms that Gyu-cheol is willing to collaborate with the ERPB's enemies, adding a layer of danger to the political struggle that has been brewing since previous episodes.

Episode 7 Summary

1. Reaction to the Encounter at the Youth Center The episode picks up right after the shocking ending of the previous chapter. Cho Gyu-cheol (Ga-yun's killer) is recovering from his injuries after stopping the attack on Ji-ung and approaches Hwa-jin to apologize for his fiancée's death. However, this apology seems insincere to Hwa-jin, who remains suspicious of him.

2. New Case: Gambling Addiction Among Students The ERPB receives a new case: a father named Mr. Lee asks Minister Kang-seok for help because his son, Jae-yun, has disappeared due to gambling debts. The team discovers that gambling app addiction has spread among students at Nakwon High School.

To investigate, the ERPB sends Geun-dae undercover as a student. There, he discovers that many teenagers are trapped in this addiction, especially a group led by Seong-bin. Geun-dae joins them and, to gain their trust, borrows money from loan sharks connected to the gambling ring.

3. The Rescue of Geun-dae and the Students The situation becomes complicated when Geun-dae is kidnapped along with other students who can't pay their debts and are taken to a hideout from the criminal organization. There, he finds Jae-yun and other young people being forced to work for the criminals.

Using his technical skills, Geun-dae sends a coded message to the ERPB. Han-rim and Hwa-jin manage to decipher it, locate the hideout, and rescue all the students. The gang members and loan sharks are arrested, and Jae-yun receives medical treatment.

4. Hwa-jin's Lesson After the rescue, Hwa-jin takes a moment to talk with Jae-yun and Seong-bin, making them understand the serious harm caused by gambling addiction and the consequences of their actions.

The Shocking Ending The episode ends with an unexpected twist. Hwa-jin thanks the inmates for helping scare the boys. At that moment, an inmate stabs Ji-ung, but Cho Gyu-cheol (Ga-yun's killer) appears to stop the attack, while Hwa-jin watches in shock.

Episode 6 Summary

1. Personal Investigation and a Chance Encounter The episode opens with Hwa-jin reviewing the evidence in Ga-yun's murder case, while Minister Kang-seok warns her not to let her emotions cloud her judgment. Later, the team stumbles upon a group of drunk boys stealing a car. After a chase, they apprehend them, but the students, citing their status as minors, downplay it as a "joke."

2. The Hyeonjin School Case The ERPB is assigned to investigate four troubled students at Hyeonjin Middle School. During the investigation, Han-rim and Geun-dae find a student named Yun-jin locked in a locker and covered in bruises.

Yun-jin confesses the truth: one of the boys, Ji-ung, gave her diet pills that turned out to be drugs. When she became dependent, Ji-ung forced her to sell them to him and subjected her to constant harassment.

3. Punishment at the Juvenile Detention Center To teach them a lesson, Minister Kang-seok sends the four boys to a juvenile detention center. Hwa-jin, Han-rim, and Geun-dae pose as guards to supervise them directly.

There, Hwa-jin places the boys on the radar of the most dangerous inmates (those with red patches) to intimidate them. Ji-ung grows increasingly desperate and attacks another inmate, who vows revenge.

4. The Final Confrontation The boys' parents protest in front of the Ministry, accusing the ERPB of child abuse. Kang-seok summons them to the school. There, Hwa-jin forces Ji-ung to confess that the pills were drugs, and the parents offer money to settle the matter.

Yun-jin appears and refuses to forgive them. Ji-ung tries to attack her, but Han-rim stops him. The boys are sent back to the detention center.

Ending and New Mystery The episode ends with an emotional moment: U-jin apologizes to Ji-seon and confesses what his mother's behavior is really like. However, just when it seems that the case is closed, Hwa-jin makes a key discovery: while reading Ga-yun's diary, he finds information that links the problems she faced to Cho Gyu-cheol, his fiancée's murderer.

Episode 5 Summary

1. The Teacher at Her Breakdown The episode opens with Choi Ji-seon, an elementary school teacher, on the verge of a breakdown. Accumulated stress leads her to attempt suicide. Before doing so, she sends a message to her mother asking her to read her diary.

2. The ERPB Team Intervenes Upon learning of the situation, the ERPB takes immediate action. Im Han-rim arranges for Ji-seon to receive medical and psychological care. Meanwhile, Na Hwa-jin decides to step forward and becomes Ji-seon's substitute teacher to investigate what is really happening.

3. The Bullying Mother The root of the problem is soon revealed: the mother of a student named U-jin. Flashbacks reveal that this mother initially sought help to improve her son's confidence, but quickly became extremely controlling and bullying. He harassed her with messages at all hours, filed false complaints, and even went so far as to falsely accuse the teacher of "emotional child abuse."

4. Hwa-jin's Lesson To solve the case, Hwa-jin doesn't use physical force, but rather strategy. He applies the same method of harassment and pressure against U-jin's mother so that she experiences firsthand the harm she caused. This turns the situation around. The principal finally supports the teachers, and Minister Gang-seok promises to improve protections for educators.

The Professor's Downfall After being released, the ERPB team presents compelling evidence: recordings, exam evidence, and proof of bribes. Professor Cheon is arrested, and the parents involved are placed under investigation. Hyeon-ung thanks the team for their help. The episode ends with Ye-ri (the influencer from the previous case) confronting her former professor in prison.

Episode 4 Summary

1. Political Attack The episode opens with Minister Choi Kang-seok and the ERPB team observing a press conference by their political opponents, who are attempting to discredit the bureau, especially after the personal connection between Kang-seok and Hwa-jin in Ga-yun's death was revealed.

2. The Elite School Case Despite the political turmoil, Hwa-jin, Han-rim, and Geun-dae are sent to investigate a strange case at the prestigious Chukmyeong Foreign Language School. The top student, Park Hyeon-ung, has assaulted his respected teacher, Cheon Sang-yeol.

3. Two Conflicting Truths Teacher Cheon insists he was only trying to help the student, while Hyeon-ung claims the teacher ruined his opportunities and caused problems for his family. This situation creates a major disagreement between Han-rim and Hwa-jin about whether the professor can be trusted.

4. The Deception Exposed Geun-dae uncovers information linking Professor Cheon to wealthy families and elite academies. Hwa-jin eventually discovers the truth: the professor was manipulating students and helping influential parents protect their children's rankings, creating unfair situations for other students.

5. Arrest and Counterattack Before they can act, Hwa-jin, Han-rim, and Kang-seok are arrested as part of a campaign to dismantle the ERPB. However, in a masterstroke, Geun-dae sabotages the professor's plan from the shadows: he alters the exams so that the stolen answer key is useless.

The Ending and New Threats The episode ends with Minister Choi announcing that the ERPB will actively monitor students' social media accounts. However, Choi's political opponents are preparing for a press conference in which they will expose the personal connection between Hwa-jin and Choi, accusing them of using the ERPB to avenge Ga-yun's death.

Episode 3 Summary

1. The Influencer Case This episode focuses on a cyberbullying case at Soyeon High School. Han Ye-ri, a student with 600,000 social media followers, has spread false accusations against two teachers.

First, she edited a video to make it appear that teacher Jung Seon-yeong was harassing a student. Then, she falsely accused teacher Ko Yeong-su of sexual harassment. The accusation against teacher Ko goes viral, forcing him to resign and ultimately take his own life.

2. The Arrival of Im Han-rim The ERPB decides to intervene. They send Im Han-rim as an undercover investigator, posing as a student teacher. Han-rim quickly realizes that Ye-ri and her friends are mistreating Professor Jung and doesn't hesitate to confront them, confiscating their phones and warning them that the ERPB is investigating.

3. Hwa-jin's Past Amidst the investigation, the episode reveals more of Na Hwa-jin's past. In a flashback, Hwa-jin is shown with his fiancée, Choi Ga-yun, during a military leave. The trial of Cho Gyu-cheol, the student who murdered her, is also shown. Because he was a minor, he only receives a sentence of two to four years. A devastated Hwa-jin tries to run over Gyu-cheol, but Minister Choi Kang-seok (Ga-yun's father) stops him and reveals his plan to create the ERPB.

4. Ye-ri's Plan and the Climax Ye-ri tries to manipulate Professor Jung into criticizing the ERPB on a live stream. The professor suffers a panic attack, but Hwa-jin calms her down and encourages her not to give up.

The next day, Professor Jung confronts Ye-ri. Meanwhile, Geun-dae deletes Ye-ri's social media account and posts evidence proving that she fabricated the accusation against Professor Ko.

Desperate, Ye-ri goes to Professor Jung's apartment with a knife and attacks her. During the fight, the professor falls from the balcony, but Hwa-jin arrives just in time and catches her, saving her life. Han-rim stops Ye-ri and confronts her.

The Mysterious Ending The episode ends with Kang-seok's political opponent finding photographs of Hwa-jin and Kang-seok together at Ga-yun's funeral. This hints that Ga-yun was Hwa-jin's wife and Kang-seok's daughter, revealing his deep personal motivation for creating the ERPB.

Episode 2 Summary

1. Reactions to the Previous Case and New Scenario The episode opens with the massive online dissemination of videos about the Jun-hyeong case, generating mixed reactions: while the public applauds the ERPB, student rights activists demand its closure. Minister Choi Kang-seok defends the bureau's existence and promises to take action against all bullies in the country. Meanwhile, the political opposition begins to see the ERPB as a future threat.

2. The Guun Hi-Tech School Case The main plot shifts to Guun Hi-Tech School, a school known for producing future criminals. There, a student named Bong Geun-dae enrolls. He quickly meets Kim Hyeong-ju, a student who suffers constant bullying but is determined to study despite his difficult family circumstances. The school is dominated by gangs seeking the attention of a young gangster named Jang Gwon-hyeok. The main bullies, Seong-hwan and In-beom, force Geun-dae and Hyeong-ju to fight, declaring that the loser will be the group's "punching bag."

3. Hwa-jin's Arrival and the Undercover Plan A teacher asks the ERPB for help. It is then revealed that Geun-dae is not an ordinary student: he is the ERPB's deputy director working undercover to gather evidence from within. Hwa-jin arrives at the school and, after gathering the troublemakers in the gymnasium, challenges them to defeat him if they want to leave. He defeats them all single-handedly. He then imposes a strict class schedule, forces students to copy notes, and teaches them practical skills by repairing a car.

4. Confrontation with Jang Gwon-hyeok Seong-hwan and In-beom bring Gwon-hyeok to the school to confront Hwa-jin. Although the gangster arrives on a motorcycle and tries to intimidate him, Hwa-jin manages to defeat him and his entire gang. The terrified students kneel and apologize to Hyeong-ju, who bursts into tears and thanks Hwa-jin. The police arrest the gangsters.

Episode 1 Summary

1. The Initial Tragedy The episode opens with a harrowing scene: student Park Dae-seok, a victim of bullying, commits suicide by jumping from the roof of Daehan High School. This occurs after he defends a teacher from the main bully, Ryu Jun-hyeong, making him his new target.

2. The Arrival of Na Hwa-jin Following Dae-seok's death, the bullying continues, and another student, Kim Kyung-min (who used to be the victim), is attacked again. It is then that Na Hwa-jin appears. She introduces herself as an inspector with the Educational Rights Protection Agency (ERPB), a new government entity with the authority to use any means necessary to stop violence in schools, including the use of physical force against aggressors.

3. The Hwa-jin Method Hwa-jin doesn't hesitate to confront Jun-hyeong, using force to make him obey and punishing him in front of the entire class. His method is ruthless: he isn't intimidated by Jun-hyeong's father, a powerful politician and former presidential candidate.

4. The Bully and His Father's Downfall While Hwa-jin enforces his "justice" at school, the Minister of Education (and founder of the ERPB), Choi Kang-seok, handles the political front. He leaks evidence of Jun-hyeong's father's crimes (corruption, sexual assault) to the press, leading to his arrest and downfall.

5. The Climax and the End Cornered and without his protection, Jun-hyeong becomes the new outcast. In an act of desperation and rage, he tries to burn his former friends alive by locking them in a classroom with gasoline. Hwa-jin arrives just in time, lights a fire in the hallway to corner Jun-hyeong, and forces him to experience the fear of death. After making him confess his role in Dae-seok's death, Hwa-jin extinguishes the flames. The episode ends with the arrest of Jun-hyeong and his friends, and the reopening of Dae-seok's case.

Im Han-rim and Bong Geun-dae are the two key members of the ERPB team, alongside the leader Na Hwa-jin. Each of them has a past that perfectly explains who they are and how they ended up in this special unit.

Im Han-rim

Before joining the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, Im Han-rim was a sergeant in the South Korean Special Forces. Her life was defined by discipline, physical rigor, and a clear chain of command. She likely participated in high-risk missions that demanded not only combat skills but also quick decision-making under pressure.

What made her join the ERPB? The answer may lie in her personality. Han-rim is described as "unhinged but fiercely trained". This suggests his time in the military wasn't enough to satisfy his need for justice. Perhaps she saw how the system failed to protect the most vulnerable in schools—a reality that deeply affected her. The ERPB offered her a new battlefield, where she could use her skills not against external enemies, but to confront internal corruption and abuse of power within the educational system.

Bong Geun-dae

On the other hand, Geun-dae's path to the ERPB is completely different. He is a genius who graduated from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) in just two years—an impressive feat that highlights his exceptional intelligence.

However, his profile is not that of a typical field agent. He's described as socially awkward but technically gifted, and he is a 5th-grade civil servant. Before the ERPB, he likely worked in a bureaucratic or technological role, far from the action. Interestingly, his character was created specifically for the series and doesn't appear in the original webtoon. This creative decision allowed the writers to introduce a unique dynamic to the team, one that relies not only on physical force but also on data analysis and digital strategy. His charm lies in the contrast between his childlike appearance and a brilliant mind that can crack any case.

📋 Character Profiles

· Choi Gang-seok (President of the Agency): He is the Minister of Education and the founder of the ERPB, the agency where Hwa-jin works. He is fiercely committed to protecting students. His motivation is very personal: he created the ERPB after the tragic death of his daughter. He has a very close relationship with Hwa-jin, as he is not only her boss but also her father-in-law (the father of his deceased fiancée). This family connection is the emotional heart of the series.

· Im Han-rim (Coworker): She is an ERPB inspector and, like Hwa-jin, a former member of the Special Forces. She is described as a fierce, unpredictable, and no-nonsense agent. Her past is connected to Hwa-jin: when she was young, she was bullied at school, and Hwa-jin rescued her, inspiring her to follow the same path. Her relationship with him is like that of a little sister to her older brother.

• Bong Geun-dae (Coworker): He is the deputy director of the ERPB. Unlike the field inspectors, he is a tech whiz and graduated from the prestigious Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in just two years. His role on the team is usually infiltration and technical support. He is the calmer, more level-headed counterpoint to the more explosive personalities of his colleagues, creating a good balance within the group.

• Choi Ga-yoon (Hwa-jin's deceased wife/fiancée): She was the daughter of Minister Choi Gang-seok and Na Hwa-jin's fiancée. She worked as a passionate teacher, but was murdered by one of her students two years before the start of the series. Her death was the catalyst that prompted her father to find the ERPB to reform the education system in her honor, and it's the reason that keeps Hwa-jin and her father-in-law so close in their mission.

The Mission: Its primary purpose is to restore law and order in classrooms. It intervenes in schools where the standard education system has completely failed due to extreme bullying, violent student gangs, abusive parents, or corrupt administration. 2. Legal Powers and Authority: Immunity and Power: Supervisors have direct support from the Ministry of Education and the national government. They possess almost total immunity for their actions on school grounds. Legal Authorization of Force: Unlike regular teachers or police officers subject to strict protocols, the agency's field supervisors are legally authorized to use physical force, psychological pressure, and covert operations to neutralize threats. Overriding School Leadership: When a supervisor enters a school, their authority immediately overrides that of the principal, the governing board, and local school boards. 3. Structure and Key Members The President: Gangseok Choi manages the agency's political, legal, and bureaucratic shield, protecting it from public and media backlash. Na Hwa-jin (the Pioneer): He is the agency's first field supervisor. He is deployed to the most dangerous, politically sensitive, and seemingly impossible cases. Im Han-rim (the Second Supervisor): A former mixed martial arts (MMA) champion who joined the agency later. She acts as a supervisor with incredible combat skills, often working alongside Hwa-jin or independently of him. 4. Modus Operandi (How they operate) Investigation: The agency monitors schools or receives direct requests when a situation gets out of control. Infiltration: Supervisors often enter schools under the guise of substitute teachers, assessment inspectors, or transfer counselors to observe the environment. Total elimination: They don't just punish the bully; they systematically dismantle the entire support structure, whether by exposing corrupt school owners, arresting negligent parents, or physically subduing violent student leaders.

Hello Wave your hand with a smile

Early Life and Military Career Childhood: Hwajin Na and Gayoon Choi were childhood friends who grew up together, eventually falling in love and planning to get married. Elite Special Forces: Encouraged by his father, Hwajin enlisted in the military via the officer route. He successfully joined the 707th Special Mission Group—the most elite counter-terrorism unit in the South Korean Army—where he rose to the rank of Captain within the Special Warfare Department. During this time, he was clean-shaven, wore a camouflage uniform, and had short, neat hair. The Core Tragedy Engagement: Two years prior to the events of the main story, Hwajin and Gayoon became officially engaged to be married. Gayoon worked happily as a school teacher.The Murder: Tragedy struck when one of Gayoon's students, Gyucheol Cho, brutally murdered her. The student wanted to skip school because the staff refused to turn on the air conditioning before June, and when Gayoon stepped in to stop him, he turned violent and killed her. The Legal Loophole: Because of South Korea's Juvenile Act protecting minors from harsh criminal sentences, Gayoon's killer received an extremely light prison sentence. Downfall and Rebirth Grief and Depression: Consumed by immense rage and sorrow over the unjust sentence, Hwajin fell into deep alcoholism, letting his appearance go and heavily abusing alcohol to numb the pain.The Alliance: Gayoon's father, Gangseok Choi (a powerful politician), eventually confronted Hwajin. He reprimanded Hwajin for his self-destruction and proposed a plan: instead of seeking blind revenge, they would change the system to prevent other families from suffering the same tragedy. Birth of the ERPA: For the next two years, Gangseok worked within the government to reform laws, ultimately creating the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency (ERPA). Hwajin stopped drinking, let his hair grow out as a sign of permanent mourning, and stepped up as the agency's primary, ruthless field inspector.

Physical Features Tall and Athletic: He possesses a towering, imposing build with broad shoulders and a highly toned, muscular physique, a direct result of his rigorous special forces military training. Sharp and Intense Eyes: He has piercing, predatory eyes that instantly intimidate troublemakers, often giving off a cold, dead-eyed expression when confronting criminals.

He believes that individuals who use violence to oppress others only understand the language of force. Calm and Stoic: Even in high-stakes situations or when surrounded by hostile gangs, he maintains a chilling, composed demeanor. He rarely loses his temper, preferring to strike fear through calculated words and psychological pressure. Deeply Traumatized: Beneath his cold exterior lies immense grief. The murder of his fiancée by a minor left him cynical about the legal system's ability to reform juvenile delinquents, driving his crusade for harsh punishments. Sarcastic and Provocative: He frequently uses dark humor, mockery, and smug smiles to push wrongdoers into a corner, making them expose their own criminal nature so he can legally punish them. Highly Strategic: As a former special forces soldier, he does not just fight mindlessly. He thoroughly investigates every school, identifying the root cause of the toxicity before executing a flawless plan to dismantle it. Protective and Just: Despite his terrifying methods, his ultimate goal is to protect innocent victims and helpless teachers. He acts as a shield for those who cannot defend themselves against systemic failure.
