In the technical computer room, the dim lights and the sound of the computer fan were the only things filling the silence. Jules typed quickly, his face serious. Liora and Renata sat not far from him, waiting with a mixture of anxiety and curiosity.
"I managed to open part of the archives," Jules said softly. "And... something’s off."
He displayed a folder labeled: "Internal Monitoring: Subject S"
Liora squinted. "That’s not my data..."
Renata leaned forward. "Wait... Subject S? Who is it?"
Jules clicked on the folder. Dozens of logs appeared—chat records, student email copies, even photos from the teacher's room camera.
"This isn’t just about lost data. They’ve been spying on students," Jules murmured. "And not just you, Liora. But many others."
On the screen, one name appeared repeatedly:
"Surveillance Report on Subject: Nolan Avery"
"Transcript of Interaction with Subject: Renata Voss"
"Indication of Information Infiltration by Subject: Jules Marwick — Level 2. Status: Under surveillance."
Jules froze. "They’re also... watching me."
Liora covered her face for a moment. "This... is no longer a personal battle. This has become systemic control."
Renata added, "If this leaks, Celestine could be fired. Even Severin and Elise too."
Meanwhile, in the Student Council room...
Elise knocked on the door to the president’s office. “We found the backup device. In Jules' hands.”
Celestine merely stared out the window. "I knew it. Send a message to Nolan. See if he’s still neutral... or if it’s time to choose sides."
Liora Evans, a brilliant yet mysterious transfer student, enters Blackridge Academy, an elite school renowned for its exceptional academic reputation—but also shrouded in dark secrets lurking in every corner. Though she hopes to live out quiet days, Liora becomes the target of slander on her very first day.
Within an internal student council forum, a malicious accusation spreads swiftly: Liora is accused of stealing the graduation exam certificate by manipulating data and fleeing before the final evaluation. Even though Liora has provided evidence and completed all her assignments, no one believes her. The Student Council at Blackridge—more powerful than the teachers—is ruled by the authoritative and cunning president Celestine Wolfe, along with her equally formidable board: Severin, Elise, and Arlo.
Faced with this injustice, Liora realizes this is no simple misunderstanding. It is a calculated scheme to destroy her reputation. With firm resolve, she decides to uncover Case 17—a case that reveals data manipulation, abuse of power, and a systematic effort to bring down a student to protect the image of a corrupt organization.
As threats and dirty games from the Student Council intensify, Liora begins digging into the hidden truths behind the school and the pasts of its council members. Every step she takes is fraught with danger, and she must face a difficult choice: fight for the truth, or become a pawn in the dark game orchestrated by Celestine and her group.
With the school bell tolling, Liora prepares to enter the shadowy world of Blackridge—filled with conspiracies, rivalries, and secrets far greater than she ever imagined. Now, she isn’t just fighting to defend herself, but to expose a truth that could change the face of the entire elite academy.
