Her eyes were like icy blades, cutting through the air and pressing down on everyone with overwhelming
force-
The boy immediately shut his mouth, too scared to say another word.
The others around them instinctively pressed their lips together, the atmosphere turning eerily stiff.
Every time Jean thought about what the principal had said on the phone, the rage in her chest threatened to explode.
The principal had said-
She was suspected of cheating.
That’s right. She, someone who hadn’t even been attending school for a while, was being accused of cheating!
It was absurd. Laughable.
The whole mess had started with this morning’s ranking exams.
The ranking exams were a special system at Stellarford Academy. Every middle school student had to participate. Only students who scored above a D would be allowed to advance into Stellarford’s high school division.
And yet― during this morning’s exams, a scandal had broken out in Class Three.
A boy had been caught with a cheat sheet during the test. That discovery triggered the entire cheating investigation.
Stellarford Academy had a strict zero–tolerance policy on cheating- especially in such a critical exam.
The
proctor immediately reported the situation, and the principal personally came to investigate.
After digging deeper, it turned out-
That boy wasn’t the only one!
Someone had leaked the entire exam to the Class Three group chat the night before!
Meaning, the whole class had known the test questions in advance. It was a full–blown, group cheating scandal.
But the person who had leaked the exam… wasn’t the boy who was caught. Nor was it any of the other students who sat for the test.
It was Jean- the very student who had been absent and was currently on sick leave!
Jean felt like the world had gone completely insane.

How could she possibly be accused of cheating?!

She had never leaked anything to any group chat. In fact, she didn’t even know which app the group used…
This was like a huge, steaming black pot had just fallen out of the sky onto her head.
Still, the principal had said what he said. Jean had no choice but to open up her Facebook account.
Since entering this novel world, she had never once logged into the host’s Facebook.
This was her first time.
She found the Class Three group chat and started scrolling through the chat history.
And there- at around 11 p.m. last night, just hours before the exam- the host’s account had posted in the group.
It was insane.
“She” had posted the exam questions, along with a smug little message:
Believe it or not. Just don’t spread it around.
After that, there were no more messages from her account.
The Class Three group had no teachers in it- only students- so everyone discussed the leaked questions freely.
Some students were skeptical. Some were shocked. But in the end, everyone decided to memorize the questions.
Just in case.
If you only looked at the chat log, it was undeniable: Jean appeared to be the source of the leak.
But the problem was-
She hadn’t posted anything.
She hadn’t even logged into Facebook.
Jean explained all this to the principal.
But naturally, he wasn’t completely convinced.
After all, what proof did she have? It just sounded like an excuse- like she was trying to dodge responsibility.
Jean racked her brain.
Finally, she offered the only logical explanation she could think of—
She told the principal that her account must have been hacked.

Jean knew exactly what he was thinking: he probably thought she was lying through her teeth.
After all, blaming everything on “getting hacked” was an old excuse. A cliché.Whenever something went wrong online, people always claimed their account had been hacked.
But this time, Jean was genuinely sure that her account had been compromised.
As for who hacked it-
It had to be someone in Class Three.
They must have gotten their hands on the exam answers ahead of time, and then used her account to spread the information.
