8 – False peace is like a disease
False peace is like a disease. It is truly like a disease because it burrows into people’s hearts and causes them to slacken, and ultimately drives those who slack off to destruction.
“Hmm…”
The middle-aged man who was looking out his window frowned as he remembered the words that were like his credo.
“I don’t like this place either.”
The room where he is sitting is very comfortable. It is a space large enough to accommodate furniture such as desks, chairs, and bookshelves made of atmospheric ebony wood. It is a space with perfect heating as well as cooling. In addition, there are entertainment options where you can spend your leisure time, so in a sense, it is a perfect space. Will be.
“I don’t like it… Tsk.”
But the man continued to frown and grumble. Even if it was a place that would make anyone feel peaceful, it would have been a problem if there was someone who didn’t like it, and that person was now the owner of the room.
“I feel a bit sore from sitting still. “What kind of retired hero are you letting sit in a place like this?”
He is Korea’s former No. 1 Hero, Judgment. But now, two years after announcing his retirement, he is Han Seok-hoon, an ordinary middle-aged man. Perhaps because he did not want to lose the man who declared that he would quit being a hero, the government forced him into the position of principal, and now it has been more than two years since he took over as principal.
“I’m tired, I’m tired. “I need to find a replacement quickly…”
It took two years to get used to this place, but he still didn’t like it. The seat he was forced to sit in was like a prison to him. In his opinion, he was imprisoned in a prison-like place where many villains he had captured were imprisoned, and he was now no different from a villain captured by the hero called the nation.
“Oh, I don’t know!”
Does it make sense for a former hero to be a villain? He opened the door in search of freedom and tried to escape the academy as usual, but-
“Principal. Are you going out today too?”
“Ah… I got caught.”
As soon as I left the room, I muttered to myself and sighed at the voice I heard.
“Vice principal. “Are you not working?”
“Aren’t you working now?”
A middle-aged woman wearing her glasses and tying her hair in a ponytail. Dressed in a black suit that would make anyone think she was her secretary, she raised her glasses and confidently shouted.
“It is also my job to catch the principal who is trying to escape.”
“Who escaped? “I’m going to the bathroom-“
“That’s because I heard myself mumbling earlier.”
“When did you hear that again?”
The war of nerves continues. But the winner was destined. Because it was the same repertoire every time.
“Ah… Dammit.”
Seokhun sighs and scratches the back of his head as if he’s given up.
“Just give up and go back to your place. “I will definitely catch you this time.”
But she was ready to capture him, even using her abilities –
“Why not give it a try?”
In the end, the vice principal was not capable of holding on to the former No. 1 Hero.
“aaah! Just come back next time! This time, I’ll tie you up with a rope!”
So she lost him and the situation ended. The same ending is repeated every time, with each person getting angry and screaming.
“…At that point, you just have to hang up and run away. By the way, no matter how old it is, isn’t it too funny to look at it?”
He succeeded in getting out of the academy and-
“Anyway, it’s too soft. “This academy is so rotten.”
I smiled bitterly at that fact.
“Korea’s only academy is in shambles if it can’t properly protect even one of these old people.”
The vice principal is No. 2 In this academy. The fact that she always misses him because he doesn’t show her sincerity means that there is a big difference in her skills compared to him.
“This country, the pride of which is this academy, has rotted to the point where it has rotted.”
It’s not just the academy. This is also true in Korea.
Two years have passed since he retired. Despite this, he is always talked about as being in the top 10, whether in popularity polls or self-proclaimed experts ranking heroes. What does this really mean?
“Tsk. “Even if we had students here, it would be better than the current heroes.”
It may be that he is strong enough to still be talked about, but it also means that there is not that much talent in Korea. And the reason is the same: the current heroes have become fed up with this false peace.
“aaah! Pickpocket-“
“Oops, excuse me.”
Look. There are more than 300,000 heroes in Korea alone. However, pickpockets still roam the streets where many of these people walk.
“Thank you… Ah! Judgment?! “Please give me an autograph!”
“What is the cause of death for a retired hero? Please take better care of your luggage from next time. “I’m done.”
Is it all about being a hero? They don’t even pay attention to these petty criminals. The former No. 1 Hero also used to do things like street patrol when he was on active duty, but you can’t see anyone doing this anymore.
“Anyway, I’m just going to capture large numbers and increase performance-“
The reason why this happened is clear. This is because heroes try to increase their performance by catching villains, and the level of their performance varies greatly depending on the names of the villains. Looking at it further, they have a sense of superiority that they are different from regular police officers, and they have a rotten attitude that the police will take care of these petty criminals. This is because the thoughts are embedded in the brains of heroes, and furthermore, this country where such an atmosphere is prevalent has become rotten.
“If you’re going to do that, at least hit the villain properly.”
But even if we catch the villain properly, the heroes always end up making a fuss. Even if there is a hero who improves performance, he always catches small-time idiots.
“The evil brigade goes on a rampage every time.”
Nowadays, heroes who always pretend not to see people like the evil brigade, which is why he always runs away from the academy – can they really be called heroes? He could be sure absolutely not. If that were the case, there was no way the evil brigade was going to swallow up Korea and leave this situation alone.
“You’re even making this old thing active…!”
If he does not step forward, the villains will be active. That’s why he leaves the academy and patrols the streets targeting villains.
He tried hard to suppress the thought of smashing the heads of the President and National Assembly members who were imprisoning him in the peaceful academy, and began to search every day, following their footsteps –
“Why on earth are these bastards hiding when they are so strong! “Jump out now!”
Today again, I got angry and ran into a dark alley.
“-Former hero Judgment.”
But he didn’t know.
“It has been confirmed that he left the academy.”
What will happen at the academy while he is away?
“What about hero students and hero handsome?”
“I received information that we will be going out for practice this afternoon – the artificial rain is fully prepared.”
“Really? “Then it goes as planned.”
And-
“Go ahead.”
And the fact that the brigade of evil that he is after so much is watching him.

-This time I will tie you up with a rope!
“…I guess the principal escaped again?”
“It’s always like that.”
The students who heard the vice principal’s shout laughed and moved. For them, it is a routine they have now become accustomed to. Therefore, they do not consider it a big deal and move on to do their own work.

“Today’s meal was delicious~”
“Okay. “I wish only pork cutlet came out every time.”
Starting with everyday conversation,
“Did you take any notes from today’s class?”
“Why is that?”
“I fell asleep while listening…”
Conversation about studying, and-
“Did you hear the news?”
“It’s news about Hero Masha’s marriage, right? “I thought you would say it because you were a fan.”
A story about heroes worthy of Hero Academy.
Break time after lunch. The students were enjoying the peace and time inside the academy.
“Umm… Is this the end of today’s class?”
“Since there is practical training in the afternoon, sitting and listening to class is over.”
“Wow, I think I’ll buy it. “Studying is not my aptitude.”
And it wasn’t much different for the hero department students.
“Hangyeol, did you get confessed again?”
“Uh… How did you know?”
“This time, while I was eating, I saw a female student approaching.”
These people, who went through various incidents and went on to practice, are now the sprouts of full-fledged heroes who are well-known in the world. But even so, it was clear that they were still students, so it was natural for them to feel relaxed about the immediate peace.
“So, did you agree?”
“No, I’m still a student and I have a lot of work to do. If it weren’t for that, I would have gotten it… What’s wrong with your expression?”
“Did you like it? Huh? Was it good?”
“No, why?!”
Seong Han-gyeol, the central student of the hero department. Three female students clinging to him and glaring at him. It was clear that everyone was interested in him, but he still didn’t notice the crush and didn’t know why he was pulling his hair out.
A peaceful scene like no other. The students who enjoyed it were spending the day smiling today as well –
“…Hmm?”
“What, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“Raindrops suddenly fell-“
Dark clouds covered the sky that should have been clear. Soon, his face was frowned by the sudden rain.
“Do you have an umbrella?!”
“Today’s weather forecast said it would be clear, but if that happens, will today’s practice be canceled?”
Sudden rain. The hero department students’ practice was sure to be canceled due to the dark clouds hanging over the sky. Students who should have gone outside chose to return to class because they had to stay indoors.
Students running one by one into the school. All the students who were outside the school are entering the school.
The dark clouds covering the sky were getting thicker, and the rain showed no signs of stopping.
