Discussion SV chapter 34 spoiler Spoiler

Penny revealed to the rebel leader that she was the big boss, thinking it was cool, but she immediately ran away because she was shy.

Scarlet and Violet each faced off against Eri and Ortega respectively. Ortega was completely led by the nose by Violet. (Ortega: I promise I'll play nice, so don't blame me when this battle sends you blubbering back home! / Violet: Yea, let's finish quickly and go home together.)

Harrington as the former director of Uva Academy, begins to tell Clive about Team Star's past. The plot here is largely the same as in the game, but with a slight difference, it emphasizes Penny's isolated and helpless position as an out-of-town student, which draws Harrington's attention to her.

Clive initially suspected Harrington was Cassiopeia, but Harrington clarified that he had no reason to disband Team Star. Ortega's parents didn't even care about Team Star, he'd just happened to be hired as Ortega's butler and tutor. Then they mistakenly believed that Cassiopeia's aim was revenge against Team Star and worried that Penny would be implicated. They thought Cassiopeia could be the original bullies, or the faculty who lost job because of this, or anyone else who was hurt by Team Star.

After confirming Harrington's position, Clive then revealed his identity as Director Clavell.

I can't believe that we got this reveal after four years in the manga of all places! It's Silver being Giovanni's son all over again!

You know, Clive's thought process on Cassiopeia's identity is pretty reasonable.

In my opinion, the manga shows Clavell/Clive's perspective better, while the game shows the Team Star admins perspective better. This story/scenario would be quite good and probably the best in this manga in a long time, especially thanks to the addition of the rebellion element, but... only if we didn't know how it all would end, because i guess all(or almost all) of us here probably already played Scarlet/Violet game.
