I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 136: Classics Are Helpful In Modern Times (1)

Early Saturday morning.

In the principal's office, where no one should be, an elderly man with white hair was diligently scribbling with a pen, dressed in a suit since dawn.

He squinted at the monitor in front of him, checked the contents, and took notes in a notebook with a pen. The nameplate on his desk read 'Sejong Education Institute Principal, Kim Seok-dae'.

Although everyone informally called it Sejong Academy, Kim Seok-dae was quietly organizing his work from dawn, staring at the monitor.

"It's finished."

The principal put down his pen and leaned back in his chair.

There had been an incident overnight that almost complicated things, but he managed to sort out the planned schedule without much trouble.

"The faculty and lecturers and the students' assignments are done. Now... just waiting for the day of the field practice."

April's biggest event, the regional practice exercise.

Incidents occur every year, so more careful planning was necessary this year.

The frequency of accidents last year was notable.

Incidents like local thugs picking fights with ability users, resulting in one ability user beating up 17 delinquents.

Or a drunk driver hitting an ability user with their car, only for the ability user to be unharmed, then calling the insurance company claiming they were the victim, lying down in the middle of the road saying they were 0 and the ability user was 100.

Or two ability users falling in love, only to find out one of them was already dating a normal person, leading to that person self-harming and ending up in critical condition.

Accidents occurred endlessly due to crowds gathering to see ability users who come out of Sejong Island.

"I hope the accidents are manageable."

Despite preparing as many people as possible, the most important thing was to take care of the ability users' mental health to prevent their outbursts.

A moderate number of accidents were preferable.

Seeing many people moving to fix their mess made ability users realize they shouldn't cause trouble. It became a fixed concept in their minds, an experience they gained physically, which they were repeatedly warned about at the academy.

When heroes caused trouble, it harmed civilians, and many suffered.

Therefore, heroes, ability users, need to be cautious not to harm ordinary people unnecessarily.

"Without trials, there is no growth. No flower blooms without being shaken."

That was Kim Seok-dae's philosophy and the reason the academy was established.

"The problem is Solar Platina."

Several screens opened in front of the monitor.

Solar Platina, the golden armored knight who faced the demon Lilith. Ermina Sternfert, confined in a hospital, uncertain if she could recover her abilities. The Golden Priestess, who appeared in the Half-toad and Sirmila cases.

Combining all these, there was only one conclusion.

"Solar Platina is on Sejong Island."

There was no other way to think.

Or rather, it would be strange not to think so.

If he couldn't infer that, he wouldn't have risen to the position of academy principal.
