The next day, the university forum was in an uproar.Theodore had uploaded his medical injury report and crafted a woeful tale that painted him as the victim. He claimed that I had failed to seduce his girlfriend, Lana Quill, and in my embarrassment, had turned my anger on him and beaten him up badly.Almost immediately after that, the student council posted an official announcement."Due to Michael Lund's disorderly conduct and the serious disruption it caused, he is hereby issued a major demerit and will forfeit all conduct credits for the current semester."The announcement had been signed off by Selena, the student council president.On my way to class, everyone I passed by kept whispering to each other while pointing at me. Someone had even dumped my course textbooks into the trash bin.Instead of kicking up a fuss or getting angry, I simply calmly retrieved my textbooks, dusted them off, then headed straight for the student council office.Selena was sitting at her desk, s

When the video finished playing, the public hearing venue was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.The cheerful campus hunk persona Theodore always put on had been ripped away, revealing his true colors.A cacophony of whispers broke out in the gallery. "Holy shit, how very wicked of him! Using a pair of scissors to disfigure someone's face?""Didn't he claim that he was the victim when he posted that article on the forum before? Turns out he was just flipping the script!"All color drained from Theodore's face, and his lips trembled faintly as he protested weakly, "T-that must be edited! He must have used AI technology to put my face there! I never did that!"However, all those who had once thought he was a harmless guy with a sunny disposition and who had insulted me on his behalf were now silent as they shot him dirty looks.That had Theodore panicking, and he instinctively grabbed Selena's arm. "Lena, help me explain to them! Tell them that I'm not that sort of person!

"Selena, not only are you blind, but it looks like your brain isn't working either," I uttered as I remained in my seat, absolutely refusing to leave.Selena's expression darkened. "Lana has already shown everyone your chat history with her, yet you're still trying to make excuses?""Make excuses? Do I even need to?"With a scoff, I stood up and headed straight for Lana.She instinctively took a step back, likely still traumatised by the time I performed CPR on her at the pool the other day."Take your phone out and show everyone that screenshot again, that so-called solid proof that you have," I ordered while looking her straight in the eye.Lana steeled herself and pulled up the screenshot again. "Fine! Everyone, take a good look! These messages really were from him!"Pointing at the photo, I pinned her and Theodore with a look that implied that I thought they were idiots."Firstly, I use a Robot phone, while the icons in the status bar at the top of your photo are all from P

Once this incident reached the Office of Academic Affairs, the nature of the issue changed.Theodore had been caught red-handed while cheating, so according to the university regulations, he would be placed on disciplinary probation, at the very least. At worst, he might even be outright expelled.As for the paper ball he had kicked toward me, after comparing the handwriting, it was proven that he had indeed intended to frame me.Nonetheless, people like Theodore never seemed to learn their lesson or give up even when the situation was already dire for them. He called his nouveau riche father, who rushed here overnight.In the Head of Academic Affairs' office, his father slammed a hand on the table and made a huge fuss, attempting to downplay the seriousness of Theodore's cheating by shifting the attention to how I had violently beaten Selena and Lana.They even arrogantly threatened to have me arrested by the police, adamantly insisting that I had a serious mental disorder and

After the awards ceremony, the police and the university simultaneously launched an investigation into the matter.With the video and voice recording as concrete evidence, it didn't take long for the university board to come to a decision. Three days later, the verdict was out.Selena was removed from her student council president seat and expelled for serious violations of university rules and regulations, abuse of authority, and conduct that was deemed morally unacceptable by the university.Theodore was also expelled from university, but it was for cheating on the exam, spreading false rumors to defame another student, disrupting campus order, and extorting a fellow student. Besides that, he was taken away by the police to aid in their investigation.As for Lana, she was placed under administrative detention for 15 days, given a major demerit, and placed on disciplinary probation.The afternoon Selena packed up her things to leave, the sky was dark and gloomy.Dragging her s
