66 – Education system reform (5)
After that day, Yoo Hee-won never asked me to do physical training together again.
It was probably unpredictable and savage.
No matter how good Yoo Hee-won is, he cannot be better than me, who has been active in Secreto for several years.
If you don’t have enough physical strength, even if you wear an expensive suit, your body won’t be able to handle the sudden Aura maneuver.
It is the same reason that state-of-the-art fighter pilots with all kinds of flight aids did not neglect strength training.
Hee-won Yoo, who has just entered the academy for only a year, will probably have to wait for graduation season to catch up with me.
Even then, there is a very high chance that you won’t win.
Anyway, it seems that my consumptive disease was really a defense mechanism created to prevent mental shock.
Even though I had been running for a long time, I was not out of breath and only felt refreshed.
It’s kind of funny to think that he’s been groaning over malingering that didn’t even exist.
The faculty department created the final curriculum for this semester and obtained approval from the dean.
Originally, the existing curriculum had already been created before vacation, but it was newly created from scratch due to the sudden reorganization of the education system.
The core of this semester’s curriculum is ‘Understanding Cooperative Combat’.
This reorganization of the education system is a tremendous task that completely overturns the existing concept of heroes’ battles.
The current freshman jockeys are a generation that grew up watching star heroes who are uniquely active through various media from a very young age.
To students, a hero is already imprinted as a celebrity-like being who solves everything by himself and receives public attention.
Popularity, fame, high salary, etc.
For this reason, students apply to Hero Academy despite the dangerous work environment.
It takes time to break down what is firmly embedded in the minds of such students and understand and teach them to fight as a ‘team’.
That’s why I decided to spend this semester entirely on ‘Understanding Cooperative Combat’.
Of course, it’s not like sitting at a desk and giving theory classes.
They keep moving together like an army so that they have a sense of being a team, and they take all classes as a team.
The content of the lecture is focused on cooperative combat, and a few related professional heroes were invited for this purpose.
Those heroes were sent separately by the Administration Bureau, so I could guess that they were active duty Secretors even without checking.
Because Secreto is the only hero currently active as a team.
Now I’m on my way to the research building to attend a seminar the experts are giving to professors.
There is a large seminar room in the research building, where academy professors hold various events.
“Hello, professor.”
While checking attendance in front of the seminar room, the head of the administrative office, Chae Ga-yoon, greeted me.
When I saw her face, I was slightly surprised.
If a corpse walks out of the morgue, would it have the same face?
Now Chae Ga-yoon had a grayish-white face and her hair was frizzy like a broomstick.
She had a small band-aid attached to her arm, as if the rumor that she worked with nutritional supplements was true.
“You’re having a lot of trouble. Your face looks really bad.”
“It’s been over five years since I entered the academy, but this semester has never been as intense as this one.”
“I think so.”
“Since the emergency call, I haven’t been able to sleep properly for weeks now….
Chae Ga-yoon looked up at me and smiled weakly.
“It’s nice to see the professor like this. It’s like getting a 100,000 won nutritional supplement.”
“Is it good if it’s 100,000 won?”
“It’s quite expensive.”
“Ah, yes. I see. Thank you.”
Chae Ga-yoon smiled and put a heart-shaped check next to my name.
“Go in, Professor.”

More than half of the seminar room was already full, and faculty members kept coming in after me.
The academy’s faculty members number in the hundreds. I don’t know the exact number either.
Of course, this includes simple environmental cleaning and facilities management, and there are only a little less than 100 faculty members in charge of education and administration for students.
As soon as I was sitting in my seat, the heroes who were going to hold the seminar brought their laptops and started setting up on the podium.
They were two people, a man and a woman, and it was the first time they had seen each other.
Secretto is a place where you rarely see each other unless you’re on the same team and don’t even know what you’re doing.

Maybe it’s not Secretto, but other people.
He was wearing plain clothes with no markings, so there was nothing to guess.
“Professor!”
Professor Jin, who was sitting behind me, tapped my shoulder and smiled.
“Hello, Professor Jin. You look good.”
Professor Jin is always bright and energetic.
Although he had a bit of a hard time recently due to the sudden system reorganization, he seems to have overcome them all and rose again like a hero specializing in flying.
“There’s nothing particularly bad about it. How is the professor?”
“Me too. Very good.”
“I hear you’ve been training a lot with Minha and Heewon lately?”
“Anyway, it seems that we have been working together since the first semester, so we are making rapid progress.”
“I’m envious. Our kids still bump into each other and it’s not even a mess.”
“You’ve been through a lot. I hope this seminar will help you a lot.”
“Hello, professor.”
Professor Yoo Hyun-joo sat next to Professor Jin and said hello. She could smell the strong smell of cigarettes in her exhalation.
“It’s not even a fuss, very much.”
Professor Yoo looked around the cluttered seminar room.
“I asked active duty officers and they say the scene is complicated right now. The management bureau keeps trying to tie up a few hero offices, and all the heroes are holding out saying they don’t like it.”
“It’s natural. The office is a private business, so what kind of pretext would the management bureau say about it?”
“I heard that if you don’t obey the control, the number of requests will be forcibly limited, but active heroes aren’t easy kids.”
“That sounds really crazy.”
Professor Jin and Professor Yoo are also active heroes.
A form of being dispatched to the academy after belonging to the Administration Bureau.
I am the only one who has retired on paper from the academy right now.
Just then, the dean entered the seminar room with department head-level professors behind him.
The dean went up to the podium, shook hands with the invited heroes, and grabbed the microphone.
“Thankfully, experts in the field took a difficult step to help us with this revamped education system.”
After a politely formal greeting, the dean passed the microphone to one of the guest heroes.
One lecturer and the other manipulating the laptop.
“Hello. I’m a hero from the Bureau. It’s an honor to be able to lecture with the best academy faculty.”
The female hero who grabbed the microphone introduced herself as a hero without any particular position or affiliation.
The order of lectures was the seriousness of the current situation, the need for institutional reform, the concept of cooperative combat, and training know-how.
Sighs and moans broke out among the attendees as the body cam footage of the heroes recently attacked by organized villains appeared on the screen.
It was as devastating a sight as the one I saw right after the emergency call the other day.
Recently, there are signs that the villain’s activities are being systematized, and for this, the heroes must also form a team and move, the hero explained.
Then, the part about how our professors should actually teach students.
As I listened to the hero’s explanation, I was strongly convinced that the woman belonged to Secretto.
All of the content is exactly the same as that of Secretto.
With three to five people as the basic model, the missions assigned to each individual and the response methods by situation are all Secreto’s methods.
That’s the training method I teach Yoo Hee-won and Han Min-ha.
It was something that I had seen so many times that I could anticipate what would come next.
However, the format of the educational materials displayed on the screen is very familiar somewhere… ? that… .
At the end of the lecture was a question period.
As expected, there were a lot of professors and staff who wanted to ask questions as it was a sensitive issue.
The hero calmly pointed out one by one and answered the question.
“Hello, I’m Jin Se-young, a professor of flight and judo science. I have a question about evasive maneuvers.”
Seyoung Jin, who was behind me, grabbed the microphone and stood up.
Professor Jin Se-young asked about the trajectory of evasive maneuvers following a wide-area attack.
The eyes of the female hero who was answering that question accidentally met mine.
Even as I continued to answer, the hero’s gaze stayed on me.
The seminar ended with Professor Jin Se-young’s question.
Everyone got up from their seats and left the seminar room with a buzz.
I was just about to go out the door when someone called me from behind.
“excuse me!”
I turned around and saw the female hero who was conducting the seminar running towards me.
“What are you doing?”
“Hey, by any chance… aren’t you Graysteel?”
Gray Steel is the callsign I used during my active career.
“you’re right.”
“Hey, I’ll see you here.”
Looking at the smiling hero, he tilted his head.
