Chapter 46 

“ Elysia , how could you erase Rowena’s chalkboard art ? ” 

“ She worked so hard on that for two days ! Can’t you stop being such a nasty person ? Why can’t you stand seeing others succeed ? ” 

The screen opened with a barrage of criticism .

It didn’t take long for the viewers to piece together the supposed story .

 

Looking at the scene again , Elysia stood alone , cornered at the back of the classroom by six or seven people .

Meanwhile , Rowena was sobbing softly , supported by others as if she could barely stand .

 

“ Elysia , why did you erase the chalkboard I worked so hard on ? ” Rowena’s voice trembled .

 

Elysia glanced coolly at the group before focusing on Rowena .

Without a trace of emotion , she said , “ I can redraw it for you .

” 

Her calm response only enraged the others further .

 

“ Apologize , Elysia ! Stop pretending ! Do you think your drawing could compare to hers ? Yours would look like garbage .

” 

“ She’s just jealous because the teacher picked Rowena to do the chalkboard art instead of her .

That’s why she erased it , hoping she’d get to draw it instead .

” 

One of the girls grabbed Elysia’s shoulder , shoving her against the wall , while another tilted her chin up forcefully .

 

The girl said , “ Typical illegitimate child .

Scheming and manipulative , just like her homewrecking mother .

 

Elysia snapped .

Her body surged with energy as she broke free from their grip , her voice trembling with rage as she shouted , “ I am not illegitimate ! My mother was no mistress ! ” 

The sudden outburst and the fierce intensity in her eyes sent the two girls reeling , stumbling backward in shock .

 

“ Monster … ” One of the girls who spoke was familiar to everyone – Rowena’s lackey , Serena .

But the other one looked strikingly familiar as well .

 

[ Wait a minute , is that Serena next to Rowena ? She looks like my idol ! But my idol is much kinder and prettier than her .

[ Why are you fangirling now ? Everyone in Elysia’s memories ends up being terrible .

[ What if this time Elysia really did erase Rowena’s chalkboard art? You’re not about to tell me that Elysia was the one who drew it , and Rowena erased it instead , are you ? ] 

[ Look at the screen ! The half – erased drawing on the board — it’s a phoenix ! It’s so beautiful .

[ Ugh .

I was holding out hope that maybe Elysia drew it , but after seeing this , I’m disappointed .

She grew up in the countryside without any formal education – how could she know how to draw ? People change , I guess .

The live chat grew quieter , as if the audience had collectively decided : Elysia had changed for the worse .

 

Fenwick , watching the stream , finally felt some relief .

Since yesterday , his emotions had been a rollercoaster – from disgust and detachment to intense guilt .

 

Now , finally , he could tell himself that Elysia wasn’t always the innocent victim .

He didn’t have to feel bad about the mistakes he’d made 

But some viewers weren’t ready to let Elysia be the villain .

 

[ The chalkboard says 8th Grade , Class 2.

Elysia’s been bullied for a year .

If she retaliates , you call her spiteful .

If she doesn’t , you call her spineless .

What do you people want ? Don’t make me climb through this screen and slap you .

At that moment , the screen abruptly shifted .

Everyone thought it was about to cut to a different scene , but to their surprise , it was still the same 

classroom .

 

This time , the chalkboard was completely clean .

The viewers ‘ first thought , ‘ Was it already erased ? ‘ 

“ Hey , finish my homework for me .

” 

Rowena’s voice rang out as she dragged Elysia into the empty classroom .

 

“ I need to play games .

Oh , and redraw the chalkboard art for me , will you ? Thanks , sis .

My dear sister .

” 

[ Someone better apologize right now .

Not only did Elysia draw the chalkboard art , she also did Rowena’s homework ! ] 

[ Wow .

The showrunners really went all out with the timing on this reveal .

They showed the aftermath first , just to drop this bomb on us later .

[ What’s the point ? It’s just so they can slap you in the face for jumping to conclusions .

Chapter 46 

Stellan watched the scene unfold , his brow furrowing slightly before a faint smile crept across his face .

 

Turning to his assistant , he said , “ Contact the production team .

This approach – building suspense before flipping the narrative – works well .

Let’s use it more often .

” 

The assistant nodded and called the lab , only to receive an unexpected answer .

 

“ Sir , the lab personnel haven’t been controlling the playback .

The AI has been selecting and arranging the clips independently .

” 

Stellan froze in astonishment .

The AI had not been programmed to operate autonomously .

The lack of human input , combined with its ability to deliver such precise storytelling , was … 

It was too perfect .

 

Meanwhile , Fenwick’s thoughts were spinning .

Onscreen , Elysia quietly took Rowena’s bag and began working .

 

His earlier relief now felt like a joke .

 

[ The homework thing might be true , but the chalkboard art ? No way .

She’d only been back from the countryside for a year .

How could she draw something that detailed ? ] 

[ I agree .

Rowena probably forced Elysia to do her homework for so long that Elysia snapped and retaliated .

[ Wait – look at Elysia’s calculations on the scratch paper .

Is that middle school – level math ? ] 

[ No way .

That’s Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem .

In middle school ? ] 

[ Hang on .

The answer she wrote in her own workbook is correct , but the one in Rowena’s workbook is wrong .

What’s going on ? ] 

“ This must be one of Elysia’s ways of getting back at Rowena , ” Fenwick said confidently .

 

Before Fenwick could react , Torin’s hand struck his face .

 

Fenwick stared in disbelief , his eyes wide and red .

He had never been hit by Torin before – not even once .

 

“ Torin … ” he stammered , expecting some guilt or remorse .

Instead , Torin glared at him furiously .

 

“ Does the fact that Rowena forced Elysia to do her homework make it right ? ” 

The screen advanced to a moment where Elysia quietly closed Rowena’s workbook .

 

[ Wait a second – the workbook on the right is Rowena’s .

Look , her name is printed on the cover ! ] 

[ You’ve got to be kidding me .

Who was it again that said Elysia deliberately wrote wrong answers in Rowena’s workbook ? ] 

“ This is … too perfect ,” Stellan murmured to himself , the meaning of his words unspoken but clear .

 

A conclusion was forming in his mind .

the Memory Viewer wasn’t just displaying memories .

 

No , it was observing the live broadcast , responding in real time .

Or rather , the AI had an unauthorized capability – one that was now flawlessly orchestrating the entire experience .
