Eden Scandal Arc

A forged article accuses Professor Henry Henderson of selling exam answers, and as evidence mounts, students rally to clear his name while the SSS uncovers a deeper conspiracy of corruption at Eden.

The Eden Scandal Arc revolves around a corruption plot that threatens the reputation of the strict but principled Professor Henry Henderson. An article from an anonymous journalist circulates throughout Eden Academy accusing Henderson of accepting bribes in exchange for test answers, accompanied by seemingly damning photographic evidence. Although Henderson firmly denies the allegations, suspicion intensifies when the midterm exam papers are discovered missing from his personal safe, leaving his name tarnished and his position in jeopardy. As the truth is pursued, the real conspirators are exposed, and Murdoch and his co-conspirators, responsible for framing Henderson, are arrested and interrogated by the SSS, Ostania's State Security Service. During the investigation, officers trace the printing press used to produce the falsified article and grow increasingly suspicious of Eden Academy itself, given the institution's mounting pattern of strange incidents. With his innocence proven, Henderson receives a formal apology from the headmaster and is reinstated to his post. An awards ceremony is then held to honor the students who defended Henderson and helped uncover the truth, with Henderson personally presenting the commendations and expressing heartfelt gratitude and pride in their actions. The arc reinforces the academy's central role in the story while showcasing the loyalty and integrity of its students.
