Chapter 244 Could It Be Him?
After that mysterious user posted their blunt challenge, the school forum went quiet for a moment.
But it didn’t take long for someone to fire back.

“Who the hell even are you? Coming outta nowhere to lecture us… What, this your alt? No posts, default avatar, zero credibility.”
“Trying to stir the pot with some throwaway account. You’re sus as hell. So done.”
“Jean already had a garbage reputation. If she were even halfway decent, maybe I’d give her the benefit of the doubt.”
“It’s not like we know the full investigation anyway. The principal just dropped the results. We’re allowed to speculate, aren’t we?”
“Why are you acting like you own the forum? People can say what they want.”
Then the user responded:
“User8976241: Stop changing the subject. Not clear on the investigation? Then by your own logic, you didn’t witness anything yourself – and yet after the principal cleared her, you’re still clinging to your biased assumptions. You’re looking at her through a dirty lens. No matter what she does, you’ve already decided she’s wrong.”
nexum
That one hit harder than the last. The forum froze up again.
This time, the silence lasted longer.
But still, a few scattered voices trickled in.
“Okay, but how do you know for sure she didn’t do anything wrong?”
“You sound way too much like you’re trying to clean up her mess.”
And the reply came quick:
“User8976241: You’re not reading the statement, but you are running your mouth. If you’ve really got doubts, I suggest you head to the principal’s office and have him explain it to your face.”
“What you shouldn’t do is sit here twisting facts and spreading garbage about something you know nothing about.”
That time, no one replied.
The forum went completely silent.
Sofia had been watching the whole scene unfold on her phone. She turned to Jean, practically vibrating with
excitement.
“Jean! Some angel showed up on the forum and totally shut everyone down! You gotta see this! She shoved her phone toward Jean.

She and Sofia had stayed behind to cooperate with the investigation. For now, they weren’t leaving school – just waiting it out in the classroom.
Sofia handed her the screen, her eyes sparkling. “Look! It’s this person.”
Jean glanced down.
The one defending her used a blank account no profile picture, no name, just a string of numbers and a default avatar.
Who was this?
An alt?
She narrowed her eyes and tapped the user’s profile. As expected completely empty.
More than just an alt. Practically a ghost.
At a school like Stellarford Academy, where reputations were everything, stepping up to defend someone with as much bad press as Jean? That was damn near unheard of.
She had no clue who it could be.
“You sure it’s not your alt?” she asked, tilting her head toward Sofia with a smirk.
Sofia waved her hands. “No way! I’ve been watching this whole time. I didn’t post anything – I swear. It’s definitely not me.”
–
Then she gave a helpless laugh. “But I am dying to know who it is. This person’s seriously gutsy — and seriously kind. You don’t see that every day.”
Jean didn’t answer. Her eyes were fixed on that simple, gray avatar.
She didn’t know why, but a strange, unrealistic
guess flickered through her mind.
Could it be… him?
