I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel

Chapter 111 Three Major Aspects (2)

After getting the adviser for their club, Elias and the gang walked out of the faculty room with cool expressions.

The three of them didn't speak a word to each other as they walked away.

Hajin glanced at Ragna from the corner of his eye. Ragna yawned lazily, completely unfazed by the silence.

Why the hell is the mood so awkward and silent...

This guy doesn't help!

Shaking his head, Hajin complained inwardly before he turned to Elias and cleared his throat.

"I didn't know you would pick that teacher, Elias."

"Hm? Oh right... I didn't tell you guys about that."

Elias lifted his brows before nodding slowly. He glanced at Hajin lightly.

"Do you have any problems with that?"

Hajin was taken aback. He shook his head and waved his hand dismissal as he replied casually.

"Not really. As I said, I don't care what you do with the club as long as it benefits me in the end. But I'm curious, why him?"

Why Alex Midgard?

Elias pondered. In truth, there were a lot of great teachers in the academy that he could choose from.

Professor Felix, for example, was a good candidate. Even though Elias hated that man's guts and attitude, credit should be given when it's due.

Professor Felix's influence covered the entire school. He was one of the most influential and well-known teachers in the academy.

If Elias chose that man, then there was no doubt that the Corleone Familia would instantly rise in prestige and reputation.

In a matter of days, the applications for his club might reach a staggering amount simply due to Professor Felix.

But there was a good reason he didn't choose Professor Felix.

Elias prioritized control and stability. If he chose Professor Felix, the Corleone Familia would be especially lacking in both aspects.

Professor Felix was too unpredictable and unserious. It would be too risky to rely on a person like him.

Although choosing that man would give the Corleone Familia unprecedented influence, it would be at the expense of its development.

It was not worth it in his opinion.

'Doing things too fast will do more harm than good.'

Thus, it was better to choose Alex Midgard, a cold, serious man who has a reliable character and a strong reputation as well.

Influence and progress would come in time, what was more important for the Corleone Familia was a stable foundation to rise from.

Hajin furrowed his brows, waiting for his reply.

"It's rare to see you think and care about what's happening for once."

Elias said amusedly. Hajin lifted his brows unhappily and complained with a grumpy expression.

"What's that supposed to mean? I should tell you I'm not as bad as this Big Fella over here!"

Ragna glanced at Hajin.

"What? You wanna fight?"

"You think I'm scared of you, Big Fella?"

Hajin narrowed his eyes solemnly. But then, he pumped his chest up and raised his hands in defeat.

"Well, you're absolutely right."

Looking at him, Ragna immediately lost all of his interest. He yawned lazily.

"Boring. If you release that 'beast' inside you, then maybe you will be worth fighting. But at your current state, you're not a worthy opponent at all."

"Your words don't make sense at all,"

Hearing that, Hajin's brows twitched as he wore a rueful smile. He shook his head and left the topic as it was.

Looking at both of them, Elias unconsciously smiled. He shook his head and replied to Hajin.

"...I suppose you're right. You're better than him in that regard."

"Told you so."

Hajin chuckled with a shrug. He wasn't as bad as Big Fella when it came to thinking, he would die on that hill.

***

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.

Hajin and Ragna seemed absolutely bored and done with all the walking, but Elias still had the usual calm unswerving expression he had on his face.

In front of the Supreme Student Government door, Elias came forward and knocked at the door twice.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

A calm and collected voice came from the door.

Elias twisted the doorknob and pushed open the door.

Click!

Inside the council room, the President was handling some papers and turned to look at him in surprise.

"Hm? You're back here already? I assume you finished inputting the requirements in your club form then."

"That's right."

Elias nodded and walked to him closely. He took out the club form and threw it to the long desk table.

Looking around the room, Hajin curiously asked.

"Where's your cute secretary?"

"Elaina is out right now. I told her to stop standing around in the council and take her duties seriously."

The President picked it up and read through its contents, lifting his brow slightly in surprise.

"Hm, quite an odd group of people you picked... and Corleone Familia? I see. I see how it is now. How interesting."

Elias remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

The President calmly put the paper down. He rested his chin on his hands and glanced at Elias and the rest expressionlessly.

"Overall, I didn't find any problems with your application. However, I hope you have read the rules in the academy."

Elias calmly nodded.

"You don't have to worry about that. We're not going to do anything illegal. We're reasonable people, president."

"Is that so?"

The President gazed at Elias dead straight in the eye. His sharp eyes stared deeply at the latter.

"I hope you don't, Corleone. It would be a pity to expel a talent like you."

Elias gave a noncommittal shrug.

"So what's the verdict for our club?"

The President was silent for a moment before nodding.

"I have no problems with your application. I believe in Professor Alex's character and your club plan is rather detailed."

"Consider your club The Corleone Familia established from this day on."

Elias and Hajin's eyes lit up, a smile rising on both of their faces.

Finally...

Eliss sighed inwardly. He wiped out the smile on his face, replacing it with his usual calm and collected expression.

The President glanced at him and spoke lightly.

"I suppose you understand how clubs work in this academy? I can explain it if you want. Your current club rank is Unranked. If it doesn't move a rank until next month, then your club will be abolished."

"I know that. Thank you anyway."

Elias naturally understood what he meant. In the arcane academy ecosystem, there were three biggest attractions that keep it alive.

Its Teachers, Resources, and the Clubs.

The Clubs were an integral aspect of the Arcane Academy's system.

In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that without the club system, the academy wouldn't be as influential as it is today.

So to speak, the Clubs were one of the main reasons why the academy remains strong and influential to this day.

Clubs were not just student groups, they were businesses also.

For all organizations in the world, the greatest attraction of the academy was not just its students, but also its ability to gather all kinds of people.

The academy consisted of multiple kinds of people from different organizations, factions, and places in life.

There were even people from the Astral Soul Continent.

Any sharp-thinking person would immediately realize how massive of an opportunity was this for everyone.

Every faction or organization could send their own representatives to the academy, put their services and products, and engage in global trades.

Alternatively, they could use these clubs to buy exclusive resources and materials in the academy or simply lure and recruit students to their own faction.

This was exactly what happened.

The Clubs in the academy were utilized by outside organizations as a way to trade with the factions and to recruit talented students.

Through owning clubs, organizations or factions could get a piece of the pie of the academy's massive benefits and opportunities.

Meanwhile, the academy would be able to get the participating organizations continued support, sell its resources, and increase its funds, while increasing its prestige at the same time.

It was a win-win situation for the organizations and the academy.

The Clubs allowed the academy to remain relevant and soar through unbelievable heights.

However, for that reason, the clubs in the academy had to be maintained and regulated. They need to be separated into different ranks in accordance with their value.

The higher the rank, the higher the value of the club to the academy itself.

The higher the value of the club, the greater the benefits and opportunities the clubs can have from the academy.

Benefits such as clubs can increase their trade limits, unlock more dungeons in the academy, and get more contribution points.

Clubs were separated into six ranks.

Unranked.

Bronze.

Silver.

Gold.

Platinum.

Diamond.

Each of these ranks grants different status and benefits, but currently, the Corleone Familia was at the lowest rank — Unranked.

Elias club' was the only Unranked club at the present.

It was because the newly created Unranked clubs only had two endings to them: it was either they reach bronze or get abolished in the next month.

It was extremely hard to rise.

Thus, most students would just choose to join already established clubs instead of creating their own and painstakingly suffer through the process.

The President remembered something and told them.

"If you have time, remember to pay a visit to the academy finance room. Or the government buildings in the society. You can get your budget from there."

"Alright. Thanks."

Elias gave a short nod and turned around.

The Corleone Family was officially established.
