I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 265

"You promised! Just let me go!"

"He made the promise, not me, didn't he?"

The old man wasn't even from Corleone, and he had nothing to do with my father's honor.

"Yeah, well, you should've checked to see if he was really a Corleone."

I loosened my grip and started to walk away, but then a question popped into my head.

"Old man, this guy, should I let him live?"

"Hmm? Uh……maybe?"

Then I'll have to ease up a bit.

"You bastards, you're fucking with me!"

He reached toward me and began spewing both flame and ignition fluid.

"Eugene, they say that his fire is hard to extinguish! Be careful!"

The old man leaned into the car from the back, leisurely spouting advice, and as if this was a test of my skills, he's watching from the back this time.

“Yes.”

I bounce my knee and move to the side. In response, he swung his arm toward me and tried to light me on fire.

[Activating Black Flame]

Black Flame, which absorbs light, surrounds both of his hands, darkening them.

"Ew! What the hell!"

The flames that were consumed by the Black Flame disperse, no longer able to damage me, and I push myself into the black flames, clinging to him.

From his point of view, it would have looked like I had burst out of the black flames, wrapped around my body.

"Ew!"

Perhaps because of my high resistance, he didn't seem to take much of a hit even with the black flames wrapped around both of his hands.

Well, he still seemed to feel pain from the damage of the darkness attribute.

"Get back here, you bastard!"

And then he turned his fury on me.

With his abilities effectively sealed, he had only one option, hand-to-hand combat.

"Oh……."

And the chances of him beating me in hand-to-hand combat were……0%.

Boom!

He swung his fist at me but his specialty wasn't hand-to-hand combat, so his fists were slow.

I pull my chin in slightly to dodge his punch, and place my hand on top of his head.

"What do you think will happen if I do this?"

"What kind of gimmick is this—-?"

A red electric current enveloped his body as I unleashed aura from my palm.

With a crackling sound, his body went limp, and then he collapsed like a rotten log falling over.

"Wow, that's a one-two punch, huh?"

His eyes rolled back in his head, even though I didn’t use much aura.

I kicked him with my foot, but he still didn't move.

"Eh? What? Is it over already?"

The old man behind me, who was sipping soy milk, slowly approached me and kicked him just like I did.

"What the hell is this?"

"That's because……I ate the dragon king's antler, which gives my aura attributes. I just radiated Aura."

"Heh, so it's just a case of ‘electricity in the head~'?"

"Uh……right?"

Come to think of it, isn't this a moving electric chair?

"Hmmm, I wonder if he's still alive, since you just stuck electricity in his head."

As he says this, he puts his hand to the man's neck.

"Well, he's not dead."

Seeing that he's still breathing, the old man stands up.

"By the way, do you have that thing?"

"Which one do you mean?"

"You know, the bracelet I lent you to train with."

"Oh."

After hearing the old man's words, I took out the pink bracelet for the first time in a long time.

The bracelet I owed a lot to when I was training.

"Let's put that on first, and then tie him with a rope. Do you have a rope?"

"Yes."

I take the rope out of the cube and the old man looks at me in disbelief.

"……Why the hell are you carrying a rope?"

"Uh, I thought I might need it for something like this?"

Technically, I was going to use it as Magical Rogue or Dark Spirit, but I didn't think I'd end up using it like this…….

"Anyway, it was easy to take him."

The aura that leaked out of Kwak Chun-sik’s body formed a hand and picked him up.

"Now what are we going to do?"

"What do we do? We contact Councilor Jang, get the reward, and that's it. Why? Was it too boring?"

"I wouldn't say it was boring, it was too bland."

It wasn't even really a battle but more like, I came out because it was mealtime, and I ate one bean.

It didn't even go to my liver.

"Well, that doesn't make sense, and I think you've gotten too strong. It's not uncommon for academy students to be stronger than active heroes, but……your level has surpassed most active heroes."

"Because of the environment."

It was best to gain a lot of experience to become stronger, not just for the organization.

"We can't test your skills like this. What should we do……? That's right, with the information we just got from him. Why don't the two of us go there?"

"You and me, just the two of us?"

"I'm happy to catch the bad guys, and you're happy to show off your skills, so it's a win-win. What, do you have to get permission from your father?"

I was going to go anyway, but I didn't expect him to ask me to go with him first.

When I first met him, he was a little bit like a Taoist, but now that he’s in the city, he seems to have become more passionate……No, is his old personality coming out?

"I think I'll have to report to my father or godfather first."

"Yes, do that but let's call Congressman Jang first."

With that, the old man picks him up and heads to his car.

After placing Arsonist in the trunk, the old man smiles broadly as he makes the call.

"Hey, Congressman, did you have dinner, huh? Me? I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, about that favor you asked for. I've taken care of it, where do you want me to go? Well, my apprentice took care of it quickly. Yeah. Oh, there? Okay. I'll see you there, yeah."

The old man quickly hung up the phone.

"Let's go collect the reward."

"Okay."

This is my first time working for the government. What kind of reward will they give?

* * *

When I arrived at the meeting place, I saw Congressman Jang Jin-yong and his aide from earlier in the day.

"……You really caught him."

Congressman Jang was in disbelief that we caught Arsonist in one day.

After gently setting him down on the ground, he checked his condition and handed us an envelope.

"Here's what I promised you."

We took the package, exchanged a quick hello, and parted ways.

"I've been wondering, what is it?"

At first, I thought he was giving an elixir or money, but I was puzzled that the reward was in the form of an envelope.

Then the old man chuckled.

"It's something only a congressman would give. Would you like to take a look?"

With that, he opened the envelope and handed me a piece of paper.

It was…….

"A restricted dungeon pass?"

"It's a pass to enter a dungeon that the country has sealed off. I need some items that are not easily accessible, so I made a deal. He gave it to me more easily than I expected."

"Is that because of where you're going?"

"A dungeon by the DMZ. I heard there's a place where the spirits come out, so I thought I'd go with you."

"A spirit dungeon? Was there ever a spirit dungeon in Korea?"

"No. It's top secret, so you wouldn't know. Yeah, there's one in the DMZ."

Actually, I did know.

I just pretended not to because I knew it was classified information at this time.

I knew I had to go sometime, I had to go, because I had stuff to get there but I never thought I'd have this opportunity.

And it's a legal route.

It was definitely a result of the credit attached to the name ‘Kwak Chun-sik'.

"I've only heard of the Spirit Dungeon through rumors, but I'm looking forward to it."

"I went there once when I was younger……and I loved it then too. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it, as I did when I was younger……."

That's how Kwak Chun-sik's story began.

‘Ah……again…….'

The story I heard so many times started to come out of his mouth again.

"This is a story about when I was in San Francisco on a mission……and I got punched in the face there……."

Let's think about the dungeon later.

* * *

The next day, as I arrived at the academy as usual, I was approached by Young-jae.

"Eugene."

"Uh. How did you do in the club yesterday?"

"Just okay. I exercised, ate snacks, and took requests as usual, but then……someone came looking for you."

"Someone looking for me?"

I asked, puzzled, and Young-jae glanced around the class and said softly.

"Kang Hyun. He came looking for you yesterday, but when I told him you were out with your mentor, he said okay and left."

"Oh, I think I know what it is."

I remembered that I had asked him to join the club.

He said he'd think about it until school started, but it seems he's decided.

"Maybe he'll come to me when he gets back to school."

"Yeah, well, whatever. By the way, I'd like you to take a look at the orders that came in yesterday. I've put them up in the chat room."

"Uh, I'll take a look at them in a little while.”

"Okay~"

After checking on Young-jae as he returned to his seat, I looked at the requests that were posted on the chat room through the Smart Lens.

Certainly, the number of requests has increased much more than in the first semester.

I sighed as I thought about reviewing all these requests.

Seriously, there's no rest after school starts…….

Now that I have to go with the old man at night to take down the villains in Wolgot Harbor, I really don't have time to rest.

‘I didn't think my father would let me go so easily.’

Last night, I told him what Arsonist had told me, and he was ready to go after them.

Corleone is currently at war with the Villain Alliance and if they are still in Korea, they must have important information.

However, it was Mr. Kwak Chun-sik who intervened.

When we told him of our intentions, he thought for a moment.

"……It would be a relief if Eugene goes with you."

He readily agreed and also told me to feel free to ask for Corleone’s support if I needed it.

In fact, I thought his presence was a cheat key.

He was a protector, yes, but more than that, he was someone I trusted too much.

As a result, a new operation was created: Operation Owl.

The plan was that Corleone’s informants would locate them, while me and the old man would ambush and subdue them under cover of darkness.

To be exact, I would be dealing with them by myself.

"I'm not in a position I can fool around, and I really need a vacation."

Should I just leave it all behind and go to Jeju Island? Jeju Island is slowly recovering and becoming a tourist destination, and I even got a text from Augustus asking me to visit the cathedral once…….

When I was imagining myself running away to Jeju Island.

"Eugene Han."

When I heard his voice, I looked up to see him standing in front of me.

As expected, he came looking for me as soon as I got to school.

"I asked you before. Have you decided?"

He nodded, his face as expressionless as ever in response to my question.

"The Master has spoken."

……I wonder if he asked Young Hoham in the meantime.

If he did, he'd say something positive, right?

"He said that if a man is determined to join an organization, he must determine the likelihood of the men he will follow."

"……?"

Wait a minute.

This familiar repertoire.

No way…….

"Eugene Han, duel me. If you beat me, I'll go under you."

"Ah……damn it."

I really……can’t take the day off today.
