Two days after Hero Yeo Jin-soo received disciplinary action for expulsion.
[Revealing the Truth]
A video explanation with white text on a black background was uploaded to the Harmony Clan YouTube account.
The content of the video was simple yet shocking. It revealed that Hero Yeo Jin-soo had suffered from school violence for a long time, and the student who accused Isaac of perjury, ‘Kang Ji-ah’, was also a perpetrator of school violence.
The video then vividly exposed the group of bullies led by Lee Hyo-beom, who verbally abused and even physically assaulted Yeo Jin-soo. It was evidence recorded in his Akashic Records.
In particular, the personality defamation by the main culprit, Lee Hyo-beom, was so severe that it seemed to reveal the depths of human depravity, shocking to know that he was a student dreaming of becoming a hero at the academy.
The video ended matter-of-factly, without any emotional appeal, revealing only the truth of the incident.
As national attention was focused on Harmony Clan’ affairs, the views surpassed 500,000 within minutes, and the comments section was filled with various reactions from people of different walks of life.
[Self-defense, well done. If it were me, I would’ve smashed their heads.]
[My heart aches… I bet they endured it because they’re public figures, but eventually, they explodedㅠㅜㅜ]
[I’ll leave the ID of the crazy bully X who perjured. ‘jenny7990’ Let’s go leave sarcastic comments one by one^^]
Shocked by the sensational news, fans of Yeo Jin-soo and Isaac, who had been anxiously waiting, were filled with a fighting spirit after this decisive turning point.
[Haha where did all those who cursed go?]
[Wow, it was hard to remain neutral, but did it have to end up like this?]
[What? The victim of school violence was the perpetrator?]
└ What? The perpetrator of school violence was the victim of school violence?
[I’ve seen the devil… Neither the child nor the parents are humans.]
Neutral observers, who had been enjoying sensational news as entertainment, ignited with excitement, mocking Lee Hyo-beom and his parents while cosplaying as pitiful victims.
As sparks flew in the national uproar, the snowball began rolling on its own. Cybernetic leeches living off of controversy, and even public broadcasters, turned Harmony Clan’s video into content.
Of course, not everyone sympathized just because the situation changed abruptly.
[Even if it’s revealed, it doesn’t mean the expulsion is revoked. Regardless of being a hero with fans, Hero is still at fault.]
[It’s mutual fault, even a victim of school violence can become a perpetrator at any time. Can the sin of Poorman, who stole bread because of poverty, be erased? What’s the difference between protecting a criminal who hit someone due to panic disorder, alcoholism, or mental instability and doing something else? Is this really the right behavior?]
However, public opinion tends to be firm on the ‘nasty’ side. Even if there’s a crime of breaking a fellow student’s arms, the public opinion swiftly turned against Lee Hyo-beom’s side, who concealed the fact of school violence and falsely accused the other party as a perjurer.
[Exclusive Report! The perpetrator who bought off the School Violence Committee with money.]
The decisive blow came the next morning from a major media outlet. It reported that members and the chairman of the ‘Pantheon Academy Middle School Violence Countermeasure Committee,’ who had issued disciplinary action against Hero Yeo Jin-soo, were bought off by the parents of the victimized students at the time.
At this point, Yeo Jin-soo’s assault was seen as self-defense, and there was a change in perception to him being a ‘victim sacrificed to power.’
[It’s chilling to think that such a villain-like guy attended the academy and dreamed of being a hero… He should’ve been completely taken down, then he would’ve been praised for purging potential villains, right?]
[Replace all the executives, directors, and teachers at Pantheon Academy! How can those who receive money and protect criminals lead an educational institution that nurtures heroes? Such people are not needed in this society!]
Despite the increasing criticism, Seraville Corporation and Seonhwa Group remained silent, offering no rebuttals. Their attitude of trying to endure as much pain as possible was taken as a given fact of bribery and buying off the committee.
Meanwhile, the stock prices of group affiliates fluctuated endlessly, causing shareholders to shed tears, and investment firms, like hyenas, boldly made moves aiming for low-point purchases.
The raging public opinion also pressured Pantheon Academy, which was in a similar desperate situation. Three days after the media reports began pouring in, unable to withstand the collective backlash from parents, Pantheon Academy finally held its own ethics committee, dismissed related staff, and initiated a thorough cleansing, even removing the children of the members and chairman who had been compromised.
Additionally, the principal personally visited Harmony Clan’s headquarters to request a reversal of Yeo Jin-soo’s expulsion and his return to school, but faced rejection in one fell swoop, having to turn back empty-handed.
All these tumultuous events unfolded within a week since Yeo Jin-soo’s school violence controversy erupted.
– Swoosh. –
A fairly chilly breeze blew, gently brushing against my forehead. The resilient little guy seemed to be invigorated by the cold weather, bustling around the office as if it suited his body temperature just right.
Well, I wasn’t in a position to criticize others. Even I found iced coffee to my taste. It seems like Isaac’s body has a high temperature. Despite opening the window to let in some fresh air, my palms, which had been suffering from acrocyanosis, still felt warm before the possession.
‘Is my blood circulation good?’
Having such idle thoughts. Perhaps it means I’ve once again managed to overcome a crisis. It seemed like I had played my political cards well, but there was also a bitter taste in my mouth.
Seonhwa Group was certainly infuriated, but they didn’t expect things to escalate like this.
‘We should have moved more cautiously.’
These people built their stronghold comfortably amidst the turbulent era where corporations and people were dying out. Even among the generations where being tough was unavoidable, Seonhwa Group wasn’t ranked fourth in the industry for nothing.
Leaving their shares out there still made them formidable opponents. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to come to this, even against a S-class hero.
‘Expanding our enemies to protect our image is exhausting.’
This experience deeply taught me. While we had widely spread the perception that ‘we are always on the side of the unfairly treated weak,’ I hadn’t expected Seonhwa Group to be hit so hard.
At that time, I might have said I would erase more than just black companies. ‘This time, it was unavoidable.’
It was almost a vague inevitability that the kid who tormented Jin-soo was none other than the son of chairwoman Han Hee-su. Perhaps the conflict between Seonhwa Group and Harmony Clan was a fate already decided. It even felt like some kind of ‘system’ intervened, as if it were too much of an unreasonable coincidence. The kids could have settled their fight amicably, but instead, they seemed to have added more grudges. I wasted energy trying to relieve the tension,
Thanks to that, our Jin-soo soared in popularity,
(Weekly Basis)
Yeo Jin-soo: 62nd (281,403)
The saying ‘crisis is an opportunity’ wasn’t just an empty phrase.
When the blue arrow pointed downward in that neighborhood’s stocks, our kid marched high into the sky. Because of the property of gaining ranks when attracting aggro, even if there were anti-fans due to the school violence controversy, it’s said that negative votes weren’t cast. The tag of ‘same-grade assault’ might continue to follow, but since they positioned themselves so well as the villains over there, it’s like they even got issued a kind of ‘immunity from criticism.’
‘Honestly, it feels refreshing.’
Apart from things going well, that guy Hyo-beom was really annoying. Becoming a bully was probably because of his parents’ genes, but it really burns me up that he harassed Jin-soo since third grade.
[…………I’ll make sure you don’t get a renewed contract? Just one word from me—.]
– Bang. –
[Whoa, whoa, man! Are you insane?]
[Shut up!]
– Crash! Whack. –
[Wha…!]
On the day when Jin-soo broke Hyo-beom’s arm, it was the last part of the video recorded on the akashic record. This scene wasn’t uploaded to YouTube because it might have had a negative impact on public opinion.
“The guy who kept enduring.”
According to the PR team, the 300-gigabyte recording file, which captured Jin-soo enduring everything from orphan jokes to slaps, was stored. In reality, Hyo-beom’s parents were people who could easily thwart a young hero like Jin-soo. So he, knowing that, probably endured it while abandoning his pride. In the end, it exploded under the threat of non-renewal.
‘He probably developed a sense of belonging.’
A five-year-old orphan who lost his parents, attended elementary school from an orphanage, developed his talents in the fifth grade, acquired a hero license equipped with the power of a C-class hero in just a year and a half, and became a professional hero after being recruited by Harmony Clan in the first semester of middle school at Pantheon Academy.
It was truly unbelievable talent, but emotionally unstable due to depression and aphasia. Perhaps he felt camaraderie for the first time meeting with his fellow members.
After going through ups and downs, he contracted with a small clan, Harmony’s Shackles. Although Isaac, who was once greedy for money, might have taken advantage of Jin-soo, to a lonely child, perhaps we were seen as ‘family.’
‘Was Isaac, the leader, playing the role of a paternal figure?’
With such a presence suddenly displaying the power of an S-class hero and even taking good care of him, the sense of belonging would have grown stronger day by day. It’s to the extent that his attention quickly shifted at the mere mention of Hyo-beom’s ordinary re-contracting nonsense.
“Hmm.”
When nurturing him at Clan of Heroes, I didn’t know such detailed narratives. Hero performance was important, not tender past stories.
“Director~ It’s time.”
I heard secretary Hwang’s voice from outside the door. I snapped out of my reverie and grabbed the padded coat hanging on the coat rack.
“Oh, I’m coming out.”
We’ve just overcome the crisis. It’s time to plow the fields diligently once again.

Today is November 14th.
It was the day of the annual college entrance exam, which didn’t seem to have anything to do with hero duties, but no matter how much Hwang Man-deuk rose to the top 50 and Jin-soo fought his way up, he was still far from 32nd place.
So, as a last resort, I prepared both small and big moves. Today is the day for the small one. ‘Let’s accept it.’
What wouldn’t the members do to boost their popularity rankings? There won’t be any exposure to the citizens, and all they have to do is quietly perform the roles assigned by the director.
Since the director is a sensible person, they’ll surely create an interesting picture on their own.
“Is this it?”
“Yes! Just drive comfortably. We’ll take care of the sauces. Haha.”
It wasn’t just anything, in front of me neatly stood a large food truck. They had prepared a 3.5-ton truck, saying that 2.5 tons seemed too small.
‘They must have a plan.’
The experience of operating a food truck by the members. That was the main material for episodes 3 and 4 of Harmonious Hero Life.
Although the image of the kids getting their hands tangled and making calculation mistakes was clearly depicted. Regardless of whatever mess comes up, I’ve decided to just drive comfortably.
‘It rides smoothly.’
