Some of the most significant takeaways from School Tales The Series Season 1
What did the spirit do in 7AM?
7AM is the first episode of School Tales The Series Season 1. It chronicles one of the most thrilling ghost stories in the anthology series. The episode begins with a morbid death of a student who was unable to find the book of the subject matter that appeared on the black board of a classroom.
Another student Q, the story's main character, was present at the time the spirit attacked the student. Later in the episode, it is revealed that every day, a spirit declares a specific subject of a book to Q on the blackboard of a specific classroom.
If the students do not bring the subject's book before the time runs out, the spirit kills them and they vanish from everyone else's memories. Later, another boy reveals it is an old curse that they must all break before they die. Everyone in the class asks Q to find a solution to get rid of the curse.
From the next day, Q starts to come to school early to send pictures of the subject of the book to all the students. But the students behave quite mean to him and pressure him to arrive at school even earlier, with the exception of another student named Tan.
What did Q do to all the students in the class?
In the latter part of the episode of School Tales The Series, another male student is seen getting angry at Tan as she helps Q. Tan was thought to be romantically involved with Q. Q, on the other hand, tells him that she only got involved with him to use him to get rid of the spirit's curse.
It was revealed at the end that Q heard Tan and the boy's entire conversation and became furious at them. On the fourth day, Q wipes the latest subject off the blackboard to take revenge on them. He then sends out the wrong subject to all the students.
At the end of the episode, the spirit mercilessly kills all of the students except Q, while he watches the attack from outside the classroom.
