In this era, heroes were adored, especially celebrity heroes who had a bunch of passionate fans. Hence, it was not uncommon to see professional heroes being surrounded by a horde of commoners. However, they shouldered heavy responsibilities. They needed to rescue areas that had been struck by calamities, nab criminals, fight astral beasts and destroy calamity fiends. They even needed to fight on the front lines and protect the human world.
If cases of encirclement resulted in a hero being injured or affected mentally, it was in a certain sense, harming all of humanity. Therefore, there were strict restrictions on this matter. Fans could pursue their idols but they could not be rabid. It was even part of a law—People are not to enter a five-meter radius when surrounding and watching a hero. If not, it would be deemed an act of violence. Not only was it punishable by law, the hero could also engage in self-defense.
