20 – Interlude
Villains attacked Justice Academy. Not only the evil brigade, but even a villain organization called Repentance, which was not well known to heroes and the general public until now, was active and destroyed the academy.
This incident caused citizens to voice their condolences and at the same time voice their dissatisfaction at the fact that the villain had been allowed to attack the only hero academy in Korea, and the heroes and police were troubled.
“It is true that this incident was the hero’s fault.”
“Okay. It’s also true that we let our guard down. “
It is true that it is their fault. The heroes who were teachers nodded and admitted that they were somewhat at fault.
In the fight between heroes and villains, the people who die the most are civilians, and the people who died the most during the attack on the academy were ultimately civilian students. It was the heroes’ role to protect them, so it was ultimately their responsibility to not respond properly to this incident.
If Judgment, the former No. 1 Hero who served as the academy’s temporary principal and is now fully established as the principal, had not bowed his head in apology and declared that he would unconditionally protect the academy from now on, the impact might have been even greater. – Now that it has finally been resolved somehow.
“So, now we’re slowly reorganizing.”
“Okay. In the first place, the former principal was the villain’s liaison, so there is no way he could have returned properly. “I’m glad that Judgment made up his mind this time.”
The teachers, who remembered Seok-Hoon, who was not present and was concentrating on training the students in the hero department, smiled bitterly and nodded.
The academy is now changing. A time when those who are now called the golden generation were completely ruined by a villain who infiltrated the school principal when they entered the first year of school, and a time when chaos continued even after they moved up to the second year. The academy is finally returning to normal after two years of darkness. It felt too late, but it was fortunate that this place would continue to operate in the future.
A general department that studies laws related to heroes or the costumes and weapons used by heroes. There are police officers who have no abilities but want to become police officers to contribute to society, and the hero department where children with abilities are forced by law to become heroes. Now that the curriculum itself of these three departments is changing, the academy will continue to change in the future – and that too in a positive way.
“There is no problem with the curriculum itself, but now the problem is security.”
However, this does not mean that the uneasiness has completely disappeared.
“Like this attack, and previous incidents as well… The security was very lax.”
“To be exact, there is no place with better security than here – but the problem is that the level of villains has become too high. “In one word, I would say that I have aged.”
What’s the point of having a structured system to block villains? The system itself is old, so everyone can penetrate it.
Students entering school, teachers, and even people working here. What would you do if you were an investigator and diligently dug into the background to reduce the threat as much as possible? Anyway, the higher-up who was in charge of everything – the principal himself was a villain.
You can tell just by looking at this incident. Although the academy is changing, the security system must also change.
“-You know, right? “There are many strange things about this academy attack incident.”
“Let’s say that because the Evil Brigade attacked by force, the Repentance guys are suspicious.”
The evil brigade is out of the question. In the first place, after tearing the guards to death with force, they even penetrated the barrier system, so how can they stop them from the front? But repentance is a different problem.
It is unknown how they got in in the first place, and they knew the inside of the academy well, and besides-
“These guys came in to kill the villain. “It’s really unique.”
“That doesn’t mean you can’t not pay attention. “Even if we know how the evil brigade attacked in the first place, it means that they came in at the right time, aiming for the moment of attack…”
Repentance’s method of hitting and running with perfect timing. That’s a pain in the ass too. Although most people said they did not touch civilians, the man who fought with Choi Ji-hyeon even used civilians as hostages and tried to exhaust them simply to buy time. If it weren’t for her, the damage to civilians would have been even greater.
“Anyway – are you sure?”
“Yes, it exists.”
After adding up all these points, there is only one conclusion.
“There is a Repentance spy inside the academy.”
There is a high probability that there is a spy who can acquire all the information contained here.
“Isn’t there a possibility that there could have been a spy in the evil brigade?”
“For that to be true, aren’t all the people confirmed to have attacked been dead?”
“What is the probability that it was killed to cut off its tail?”
“Not really. But let’s keep all possibilities open.”
Of course, information may have been acquired in other ways. However, it is not right to close the possibility by saying, “No way.” The heroes didn’t forget that this was what happened when they thought, “No way, they’re going to attack me again this time.”
“I guess I’ll have to continue investigating… but honestly, I don’t know what else I can get from this.”
“…That’s right.”
The teachers who were experiencing difficulties in the investigation quickly sighed, moved on to the next item, and continued the conversation.
Security, curriculum, selection of new teachers, etc. – There was a lot to discuss, so time continued to pass and the meeting showed no sign of ending.
“Ah, they are seniors!”
Meanwhile, the teachers were continuing their meetings.
“Huh? They are first year freshmen. “Nice to meet you all!”
The students who were temporarily excluded from the hell training ran into their juniors.
“What were you doing?”
“We are going to see the school! “It’s changed a lot… I’m going to look at the fall foliage too.”
Were you looking around the school? Current first-year Hero Department students smiled and greeted their seniors, and the students who received the greetings smiled and asked how they were.
Students smiling in a truly peaceful scene. But there was some sadness in their expressions. That’s probably because one person who was supposed to be among that group of students has passed away forever.
I hoped that those who fought against countless villains, including the villains of the evil brigade, would all be okay, but was it just greed? Jihyun smiled bitterly and approached the first-year students.
“Thank you last time! “Thanks to you, I was able to survive safely.”
“You all resisted with all your might. “It’s thanks to all of us working together.”
Those who live with those they could not protect, those who died like that, in their hearts – that can be called heroes. Still, wouldn’t it be fortunate that so many people are still alive?
“This year’s first-year students are also amazing.”
“Yes, especially- it was you, right? “It was a great help in suppressing the villains.”
“Hey, it’s not that bad.”
Kwon So-ah moved to help the first-year students while Ji-hyun was fighting Ash. When she approached the smiling student at the front and complimented her, the male student scratched his cheek and made a shy expression.
“What is your name?”
So-Ah smiled and asked her male student’s name –
“I-“

Soon the male student opened his mouth.
“-Hey.”
“…Yes?”
Meanwhile,
“So, did you meet your younger brother this time?”
As the students were talking, the villains were eating the soup that had been delivered. Hyunwoo asked Eunji as if he just remembered something.
“Of course. “How are you doing?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. “I even became the first-year class president.”
A spy hidden by Repentance, and the reason Kim Eun-ji joined here. When her younger brother’s story came up, she immediately smiled brightly and started bragging.
“The spy is the class leader, so doesn’t he stand out too much?”
“You don’t have to worry so much. “Even if he was a spy to begin with, he doesn’t communicate with us often.”
Sang-hoon asked as if he was anxious, but Hyeon-woo soon shook his head and denied it.
Her younger brother, whom she planted at the academy, has already completed her role as a spy, and more than anything-
“If we all get caught, he might have to start a new life. “Even if he was a spy in the first place, it’s no different from just sending him to school.”
“My younger brother has dreamed of becoming a hero for a long time. Even if I just become a hero like this… It won’t really matter, right?”
“Of course. “Because that was the contract from the beginning.”
Her younger brother is completely unrelated to the villain. If Repentance is over, all she has to do is cut off contact completely and start a new life. Because it was that kind of contract from the beginning. Eun-ji, who was watching Hyun-woo’s thoughts, asked vaguely, and Hyun-woo nodded his head as if it was obvious, instilling confidence.
“In a word, he is a double agent. “If we are backed into a corner, we end up on the hero’s side.”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“That can’t be possible. “I just think it’s a good thing.”
Sang-hoon shrugged his shoulders and hit back at Eun-ji, who was glaring at him. Everyone here is a villain, but that doesn’t mean they look at villains in a positive light – in a word, they are irregular. There was no way these people would drag a boy who dreams of becoming a hero into a villain.
“Well, it didn’t seem like he was thinking of abandoning us.”
“Because of our God?”
“Because there is that, and I am here too. “How close is our relationship?”
“It’s a true fantasy. “Her brother and sister are on good terms… More than that, what was her name?”
Conversation continues while eating. Sang-hoon immediately ignored Eun-ji, who was glaring at him, and asked her name-
“That guy’s name is-“
“-My name is Kim Han-ul, and I am the class president of the first-year hero department.”
The male student who was looking at Choi Ji-hyun, who was standing next to Kwon So-ah, smiled broadly and introduced himself.
“Was the ability fire?”
“It’s not that great of an ability, though. “If you just spit fire at your feet like this-“
With his short red hair swept down and his red eyes flashing like those of a certain villain – he spoke like that with a meaningful smile –
“That’s amazing. Let’s get along well in the future!”
“-Yes.”
I may have to betray someday, but I have formed a connection with people who may truly be on the same side.

“Wild Pig has been defeated.”
“I heard you died? “That bastard.”
In a dark room. A man and a woman talking there.
“Well, since we attacked the academy, I could have died. The principal there said he was in Judgment now? That monster. “Did you lose to that guy?”
The woman smiled and asked the man, but the man soon shook his head.
“We were defeated by Repentance.”
“…Repentance? What is that?”
“It is a villain organization.”
“…Ha?”
A woman distorts her face at the words of a man.
“Since when did the Evil Brigade become weak enough to be defeated by other villains?”
“It’s not like villains. “Those guys are more dangerous than you think.”
The woman asked in annoyance, but the man quickly calmly continued with her words –
“Above all, this is not your story.”
“…I just got hurt while doing what the leader told me to do.”
“Thanks to that, I was able to save four years by using an entire branch as bait.”
The woman frowned at the man’s words, but she kept her mouth shut.
What the man said was true. The woman eventually failed her mission and was caught, and she was literally locked up in a prison that holds violent criminals. Although they were able to divert the attention of the heroes and escape again through this attack on the academy, throwing an entire branch as bait meant that their losses were severe.
“This is a message from the leader.”
“What is it?”
Is the woman in front of her worth enough to throw away an entire branch? The man immediately tilted his head and questioned her calculation of profit and loss, but she quickly laughed and shook her head.
“I gave you a chance because you are my daughter. But not twice – they say.”
“…Okay.”
Even though she is the leader of an evil brigade without blood or tears, she seems to have affection for her flesh and blood relatives.
The man gritted his teeth and looked at the woman who nodded, thinking so, and she stood up from her seat.
“Stay here and get out on your own. “Few people will suspect the girl who came out of the police station, so it will be easy to hide.”
“…Okay. “I heard you knew?”
“I say it again – there is no more chance. “Giving her a chance just because she’s our daughter just seems like favoritism to us.”
“Oh, f*ck. “I know!”
“Okay. See you then.”
Her man looked back at her for the last time as he left her –
“Villain Serpent.”
He closed the door and left to do his own thing.
