I Became a Mafia in the Academy
chapter-110

Chapter 110

His head slowly regained its position on his side but his eyes no longer wavered as if he finally understood the situation.

After all, it was said that a slap on the cheek is the best medicine for a panicked opponent who has suffered a brain freeze.

“I can tell by the look in your eyes that you have a lot of questions. Right?”

He nods at my words.

After leaving the three people who looked excited for some reason, I walked into my office with Lee Seung-kwon, and Lee Seung-kwon spoke first.

“How is it that the president of……who is a freshman, is a disciple of Mr. Kwak Chun-sik?”

Great Father Kwak Chun-sik…….

I thought it was a fitting title for Kwak Chun-sik, who likes to organize in this way.

“How can I be his disciple? Well, old connections, history, and talent. It’s not hard to become a disciple with these things.”

With that, I leaned back, sprawled out where I had been sitting.

Se-ah, who had been watching all of this from the back, looked at me in confusion, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

“Uh, Eugene. What the hell just happened?”

“Well, it’s all thanks to my mentor. You know, Mr. Kwak Chun-sik is a very famous man, and by a strange coincidence, the transfer student over here is from the martial arts center that he created.”

But judging by his reaction, he didn’t come to the freshman welcome party either.

It didn’t seem like he was lacking in skill, and it was clear that he was breaking a board somewhere instead of participating in the welcome ceremony, like the fist-crazy……guys.

“……I wouldn’t have to explain this to you if you’d joined the freshman welcome party.”

Jin-woo claps his hands as if he understands me and stands up.

“Ah! So, you’re saying that the boss is an elder, like those in the martial arts books?”

“Yes. I’m an elder.”

Roughly speaking, I’m a direct disciple of a former master who appeared before a second-generation disciple.

That meant that Kwak Chun-sam, the current director of the martial arts hall, and I were in the same generation.

“But, Jin-woo, how do you know that?”

This kind of etiquette isn’t taught in Corleone and the fact that Jin-woo knew this, let alone Se-ah and Young-jae, was quite surprising.

“Huh? It’s just because I watched a lot of martial arts movies in school.”

…… I was immediately convinced.

There’s nothing like that to distract you from school.

Anyway, I turn my attention back to Lee Seung-kwon, who seems to be collecting his thoughts, and point to the seat across from me.

“Why don’t you sit down and have some dessert?”

I glance at him and ask, and he slowly walks over and sits down across from me.

“So…you’re here to collect a debt from the ‘Ranger Club’?”

“……I must have been mistaken.”

He replies with a respectful bow, as if he’s finally gathered his thoughts.

So he’s from the martial arts school called Budokan in CS. It’s a beautiful sight.

Still, his clenched fists seemed to insist that while his mind understood, his body couldn’t yet admit it.

Funny.

At this point, I decided it was time for one more shock.

“So, who do you work for?”

“I’m not here for……I’m not here for that.”

“You’re not here because you’re being paid?”

No, I can already smell it.

An organization trying to bother us at this time of year.

And if it’s an organization associated with the ‘Ranger Club’…….

“The Hunter’s Club—they must be the rats.”

There was a pause, and his eyes fluttered.

“I guess that’s right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Well, that means I have to explain my kindness to you.”

-Thud. Thud.

I tap the table with the tip of my forefinger, feigning thought for a moment, then lift my head to look him in the eye.

“I’m going to explain to you, point by point, why the Hunter’s Club sent you and you’re going to get closer and closer to the moment you’ll regret the most in your life.”

After all this, he still hasn’t said a word.

It seemed that it was more important to let the ignorant ones like the Ares Club realize with their bodies than with words.

“One: The Hunter Club sent a very suspicious request to our club. It’s a three-day mercenary lease, but it requires you to go into a dungeon with a group of Hunters by yourself. You know what that means, don’t you?”

An outsider barges into a party where everyone but him is an acquaintance and colleague?

And into a dungeon?

Perfect conditions for a mysterious accident.

It was more like an assignment to keep us on our toes.

“Two: you’ve brought a fight to our club and nowhere else.”

Among clubs, “Familia” was a hot potato.

It was founded by a freshman and it was a club that drowned out a gold club, the Fund Investment Club.

The club that defeated the Ranger Club, the most powerful bronze club in terms of combat power, in an all-out war and the club that ended the terrorism at the Academy.

“I don’t think you’re unaware of the rumors about Familia. No, no matter how much you look down on us, it doesn’t make sense for you to walk into a fight like this with those rumors and the answer is obvious.”

Having the backing of someone we think is overwhelmingly stronger than us.

“If you’re asking if there are any clubs that would associate with us, the only clubs that are currently involved are the Hunter Club. I think that explains it, right?”

Despite the fact that I had explained it in a way that Jin-woo could easily understand, he only kept his head down and didn’t say anything in response.

Well, that was understandable.

“……So, you’re going to remain silent?”

Well, I should tell him something more interesting.

His eyebrows twitched and moved at my words.

“You don’t know that the president of the association tried to insult elder Kwak Chun-sik at the freshman welcome party, do you?”

“The president of the association insulted the Great Father!?”

As soon as Kwak Chun-sik’s name came up, he immediately reacted.

“Yes, he insulted him. He was about to jump on the old man and ask him how he could disrespect him because he’s the head of the association, but there were some bastards laughing at him.”

While Kwak Chun-sik, his heaven, was being insulted, there was someone laughing?

“…… Guess who.”

That’s right!

He can’t help but wonder.

How dare anyone disrespect the founder of a martial art that he had given his all to?

With a very kind and honest face, I told him the truth.

“──The president of the Hunter Club, Bae Gil-woo.”

This was the truth.

In the first place, Bae Gil-woo, the president of the Hunter Club, wanted to create a Hunter Association like the Hero Association.

It’s not surprising since he was described in the original as a guy who would do anything to create a Hunter Association.

I wondered if he had some kind of agreement with the president of the Hero Association.

“Bae Gil-woo was doing that?”

“Yes. Well, there’s no evidence left, but…… Do you really think I’d lie about something that would affect master honor?”

If I say something like this, he can only answer that he believes it even if he doesn’t.

If he refuted it, he would be trampling on Kwak Chun-sik’s honor, so he had no choice but to accept it.

“……I believe you, but of course, I’ll have to investigate on my own.”

He’ll believe me, but he won’t fully believe me.

He wasn’t so stupid after all if he knew how to get out of it.

He’s just a little cranky.

Maybe a good guy, depending on who you ask.

“Whatever. Just know that if you ever come across any evidence or circumstances that prove me right, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, just like I said.”

“Tell me the reason…….”

“It’s no fun to know already, so I might as well save it for later.”

With that, I pulled out a business card case I kept in my cube and tossed it to him.

It was a personal business card with Familia name and address, and my number.

“Give me a call if you have any questions, or if you think of anything else you’d like to talk about the Hunter Club.”

“You can reach me at……but that won’t happen.”

He stood up, his pride still intact, and started walking toward the exit.

Then he stopped and turned around.

“The Hunter Club request, you’d better not take it.”

“What…….I thought you didn’t trust us yet?”

“I was just letting you know who’s going to be the next big thing in Great Father Kwak Chun-sik’s reputation.”

With that, he said what he had to say and walked out the door.

“……He’s like fire, but he’s also like water.”

Se-ah, in turn, rambles on about him.

“So, Eugene. Can we cancel the request from the Hunter Club?”

Se-ah, who became the internet manager for Familia after Jin-woo community promotion incident, asked me as she entered the management tab of the request board.

“No, don’t cancel it, hit accept.”

“What? Accept?”

And Young-jae, who was just as surprised as Se-ah.

“We heard it was a trap, but are you really going to accept it? And even if you do, who are you going to send?”

I smiled at their questions and said.

“Of course I’ll go.”

“Won’t it be too dangerous?”

Se-ah asks in a worried tone, and Jin-woo, who’s been quiet until now, suddenly shakes his head.

“The Hunter Club is dangerous. What do you think they’ll do? If they go into the dungeon and try to kill the boss, it’ll be their fault, right, boss?”

I had no intention of killing them……but Jin-woo, who had been beaten up a lot, seemed to know best about my strength.

“I’m certainly no match for them but I have a plan in case of danger.”

If it takes a man to enter a tiger’s den to catch a tiger, why can’t I enter a dungeon to catch the bugs that bother me?

“I don’t shy away from a fight that comes my way.”

For that is the will of Corleone, and the decision of the Familia I will lead.

* * *

When I got home after all the club activities, I was looking at the news as usual to prepare myself for what was to come.

“I don’t see anything on the news about what happened at the……new student welcome party.”

Apparently, as it was a gathering of bigwigs, the reporters were thoroughly screened.

I thought it was a chance to discredit the president of the association, but I was disappointed that the only article that was posted was a plain-looking preamble.

“First of all, the Villain Alliance’s attack on the Academy was stopped, and the welcome party for new students ended well……so all that’s left is to push through the main quests?”

I have a total of 2 main quests right now.

The main story of the Academy and the main story of Corleone.

“The Academy route can be solved with the Hunter Club’s request this time and……the Corleone storyline can be broken quickly at this rate.”

When I was muttering and thinking to myself the sound of running was heard outside in the hallway.

“Master!!!”

It was Han Seo-Joon, who was supposed to be getting ready to leave work.

“Han Seo-Joon, what are you doing here at this hour?”

He was breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

It’s hard to believe that it’s Han Seo-Joon, who has always been calm, but he’s panicking──

” Corleone is……Corleone is under attack.”

“……what?”

The reason was explained.
