I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 40:

This elevator is going to the basement, right? Wow.Youve got to be kidding me.

Hold still for a secondwere about to enter a dungeon, right?

Eh, the dungeon isnt as bad as I thought~ Its just a hunting ground for monsters. Its nothing, right?

Jin-woo was very excited about going into the dungeon and Se-ah was nervous.

I stared at the [1] and [2] buttons, looking at the two very different people.

Surely, this is the order.

I converted the basement floor to down and the first floor to up and entered the commands.

[]

At the same time, the elevator rattles and starts to move.

Ooh, its moving! The elevator is moving down!

Se-ah grips the handle tightly as the elevator continues to descend from what she thought was the last basement of the Academy.

With Jin-woo giggling at the sight, I opened the cube to check its contents.

Originally, the contents of the cube had to be taken out one by one to check the contents, but now, thanks to the [Smart Lens], I can check them immediately like an inventory.

This should be fine.

After what seemed like an eternity of descending, the elevator came to a stop, and a bizarre notification echoed through the elevator.

[You are on the @#!% basement floor]

Slowly, the doors began to open, revealing a dark space.

Wow, this place looks really creepy.

At the sight of it, Jin-woo shuddered as he looked around.

It was a huge space reminiscent of a cave, unlike the staleness that made it look like it was meant for human use.

The crimson flames of the candlesticks, whether powered by magic or not, and the dimness of their surroundings, did little to distract me.

[Convert to night mode?]

[Y/N]

They dont call them smart lenses for nothing, and as soon as I pressed Y, the surroundings brightened up as if it were broad daylight.

Se-ah, can you use light magic?

What? Ah, yes, because thats basic magic.

Jin-woo, are you

Ah, it doesnt matter because I have night vision, and I also have a skill of that type, so I can see clearly.

Hearing that, I remembered what Jin-woo said at the end of the duel the other day.

Im an assassin, asshole.

Apparently, he was trained separately by the Bevalt family.

I didnt think he needed a lantern if he could see so well.

Good, then Ill give you some information about this dungeon right away.

With that, I began a brief explanation of the dungeon in the basement of the Academy.

This is an artificial dungeon created by the Dungeon Ecology Research Club that used to occupy Room Z.

What? Isnt the Dungeon Ecology Research Club the mythical club where all the members suddenly disappeared one day, and their legacy exists somewhere in the Academy?

The Dungeon Ecology Research Club myth was quite famous within the Academy and was also one of the top clubs in the Academy.

The story went something like this: the president of the club suddenly disappeared one day, and none of the instructors questioned his disappearance.

Ah, the myth. Its just that the entire club was scouted by a state-secret organization and dropped out of the Academy.

Huh?

The reality of the myth was actually quite unremarkable.

The Dungeon Ecology Research Club, a club that suddenly evaporated one day. Where did they go, and what legacy did they leave behindbut the truth is that they were recruited by a national organization, and the legacy they left behind is the dungeon were in now.

All of this was made possible by a man who awakened as a superhuman and gained the ability to become a Dungeon Maker.

Well, hes probably living off his state pension and doing research right now.

Anyway, this dungeon were in now is their legacy. The dungeon has ten levels. And this is where were standing, the first level, the Chongyao.

Chu, Chongyao? Something about that name is unsettling.

!

At the same time, a sound came from the distance.

It was an unpleasant sound, like sharp thorns scraping against stone, and the childrens gazes moved beyond the cave.

Just in time, the first-tier gatekeepers.

What? First-tier gatekeepers Hee, hie, hie, hie!

In the distance a horde of jet-black creatures were slowly approaching. They were giant insects, each one the size of a small child.

What kind of bugs are that big!

Jin-woo chuckles as he quickly draws his dagger, seeing Se-ahs eyes well up with tears because shes never seen a bug-type monster before.

Hey, what are you doing squatting around, we have boss here, boss can you wipe that thing out with your machine gun?

I can.

?

But I need you and Se-ah to take care of those things.

Me, us?

Bo, boss?

Did he forget?

Didnt I tell you, its your and Se-ahs training.

I said.

Try to stay alive. Ill just command from behind.

Because its not these ragtag bastards Im after.

First, Se-ah, use your magic to divert the direction of the dungeons magic toward us. Any creatures that sense magic with their antennae wont be able to come this way.

What? Yes!

Hearing my order, Se-ah quickly puts on her gloves and reaches for the bugs.

With her spatial magic, it shouldnt be a problem for her to disrupt the magic inside the dungeon.

As if to prove it, the bugs that had been coming toward us suddenly began to make strange movements and twist together.

Jin-woo, charge.

What? Do you really want me to charge over there?

Charge.

Im not a vanguard

Charge.

At the same time, Jin-woo grabbed his dagger and started to charge towards the bugs.

Se-ah, you stay where you are and focus on defending against anything that hits Jin-woo. Theyve already targeted Jin-woo, so they wont be able to target you unless theres some sort of aggro going on.

Yeah!

Ew, its even creepier because youre so close, dont come at me, asshole!

At first, Jin-woos combat centered around dodging and shooting back and forth, but when he realized that Se-ah was supporting him, he began to hunt them down more aggressively.

Wow, this is pretty good. I thought you said you hated bugs, but youre doing better than I thought.

Im barely holding back the gagging. Ouch, theres an aggro up ahead!

After a while, the bugs realize that they cant do this and slowly start to back away.

Realizing that fewer and fewer bugs were attacking him, Jin-woo stuck his dagger into the jaw of the last bug that tried to attack him and looked at me.

Boss, should we give chase?

No, thats enough. The ones you just dealt with were scouts, and the main force will be heading this way soon.

Really? Theyre pretty damn weak.

After pulling the dagger out of the bugs jaws, Jin-woo walks over, wiping the green fluid off the dagger.

Ewit smells. By the way, boss, isnt it usually easier to just wipe them out with magic?

It would be convenient, but due to the nature of the place, a large-scale attack would have caused the ceiling to collapse.

Hearing my words, Jin-woo raised his head and looked at the ceiling. He nodded at the low ceiling, which must have been at least three meters high.

Mmm.Definitely.

For the record, the reason I know this information is because I once got killed in a game for thinking that way.

Damn dungeon maker guy.

I cant believe they designed a room where the ceiling collapses when you use AoE magic.

For the record, I once went to the guy himself to exact my revenge.

Lets keep moving, then. Its bigger in there than it is here, so we should be able to use magic. Se-ah, can you read the mana flow around us as we go?

Yeah, thats easy enough.

With that, we started walking towards the inside of the first floor of the dungeon.

Of course, it was my first time experiencing a dungeon in real life, so I was nervous and took careful steps.

Boss, didnt you say this place has 10 floors? How far are we going to go today?

Jin-woo asks, grabbing his shirt and rocking it back and forth to cool off from the strenuous movements we just made.

Were just exploring today. Dont worry, well run away if I see any danger.

Really? I dont think the first floor is a big deal as long as we run into the same guys as before.

If Jin-woo was right, the dungeon would be very easy but

We dont know what the boss looks like yet, so its best to be cautious for now. The boss isa class apart from the other monsters.

It was the same in the game.

Since the dungeon was designed to work by absorbing the magic power used in the Academy, the ever-changing nature of the CS meant that there would always be different bosses with different strengths.

In other words, the dungeon would grow according to the amount of magic used by the Academy.

I wondered if the national organization recruited them because they could make a dungeon this big.

Wait.

Se-ah, who had been sensing the magic around her, closed her eyes and touched the wall.

Ive detected a vibration in the coordinates up ahead. Im guessing huh?

Se-ah suddenly opens her eyes and looks dazed.

I think werescrewed, there are hundreds of them.

This is crazy Boss, what should we do, should we run?

No, everyone stand by. Get behind me.

Boss?

Pushing past the panicked kids to the front of the line, I pulled out the [Al Capones Tommy] Id kept in my cube and pointed it at the front.

Theres something Ive been wanting to experiment with.

An alarm flashed in my mind as I encountered dozens of scouting bugs.

[Bloodline Ability: Corleone is activating]

That burst of magic clearly recognized each of them as individual enemies.

In other words, if they were all enemies, my power would also explode.

For now, Ill take the initiative.

Besides, it was obvious that it was the main force coming, so I decided to take care of it this time.

As long as the Academy exists, the dungeon will be repaired and monsters will be created. However, nothing is ever easy in this world.

Heh, heh, heh! Whats that?!!

Hey, boss, shouldnt we run?

In the distance, I could see a giant centipede crawling toward me, blending in with the many bugs.

In the real world, I would have freaked out and run away as soon as I saw the centipede, but right now, thanks to [Trait: Hitman], Im able to stay calm.

Everyone, calm down.

The centipedes size must have been unimaginably large, given its poisonous teeth alone and I doubted [Al Capones Tommy] would be able to penetrate the ultramarine-blue carapace that wrapped around himunder normal circumstances.

As the countless bugs came into view, an explosive aura enveloped my body and I began to emit red energy.

[Bloodline Ability: Corleone is activating]

It was a torrent of power that I had never felt before so I channeled that energy into [Al Capones Tommy] and pulled the trigger.

Adios, worms.
