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

Chapter 137: Classics Are Helpful In Modern Times (2)

Humans were recording animals. Through records, we can learn from our ancestors' wisdom, understand the past, and gain great help for the present and future.

After the great upheaval of the 2000s.

Many cultural contents have changed. Due to the belief that children should be given dreams and hope, horrific and frightening stories from the past disappeared under the name of censorship.

"Yumir. What were the stories you watched as a child like?"

"Compared to the stories you're telling me, they were all about heroes overcoming obstacles and defeating villains. Stories of heroes. No tragedies, only victories."

"Right. Although reality isn't like that, ability users were educated through such stories from an early age."

That was why the culture of this era was so different from my world.

For instance, NTR (Netorare) was treated as a sin that should never exist in society. While it might occasionally emerge in the shadows, it was absolutely forbidden in the light.

Especially when it involved the protagonist's girlfriend or boyfriend being taken away.

While the affair of a spouse might not concern ability users as it involved ages they couldn't relate to, even a teen drama with infidelity could cause a demon to be born.

"There was a magical girl who fell in love with a boy and became a magical girl to save him. But after being saved by the magical girl, the boy started dating a normal girl who had been caring for him. What do you think happened?"

"She turned evil, right?"

"Exactly. She turned completely evil."

I had seen that as an animation in my original world. I watched it because a writer I liked joined as a scriptwriter. I ended up watching the entire series, including the movie.

Human corruption, turning evil, protagonists with unbreakable mental strength, self-sacrifice.

And love.

"In the end, she was dealt with by another magical girl. It was a great tragedy, but it beautifully portrayed the sacrifice of a young girl."

The stories of the old sages contained many life lessons, especially those involving magic or superpowers, which were very helpful in this era.

"But Yumir, you're not going to throw your life away, becoming a machine that moves crazily 24 hours a day to save people, right?"

"Of course not. I have my own life."

"So, think about it. Do heroes always have to sacrifice themselves? Should ability users born with powers use everything for humanity?"

"Is that Do Ji-hwan speaking, or...?"

"As Yumir's counselor. Everyone in the world matters, but I don't want to see you, Student Yumir, get hurt."

"That's touching. In any other situation, I'd be really happy."

Yumir pointed to the novels and magazines in front of her.

"If only I didn't have to read these and write a review!!"

"It's natural for college students to write reports."

"Why are you asking me to write reports when you're not even my professor?"

"It helps with ability training."

Imagination was the source of power for ability users. Naturally, reading novels and internalizing their themes was the fastest way to become stronger in this world.
