I Became a Mafia in the Academy
chapter-206

Chapter 206

With a single wave of her hand, she silenced the crowd.

The view of the arena as the blizzard ceases to rage.

The paper army is completely shattered, and they fall to the ground, and Choi Yeon stands tall and alone.

-The match is over! The result of today’s club match, the victory of Familia! It was a match that showed where they stand in the Academy right now!!!

──────!!

At the sound of Instructor Fadoyun shouting, the entire arena erupts in cheers and applause.

Choi Yeon stares at her sword, which has disappeared, as if she doesn’t care about the sounds outside.

She notices the door slowly opening and walks out.

Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon!

Choi Yeon stumbles over to me even as her name is called.

“This is…….”

“Huh?”

“You have to tell that we broke it together.”

“……what?”

“We’re accomplices from now on.”

Even if I’m an accomplice, I’m the only one who’s going to get in trouble in the end……but I figured if I didn’t nod my head here, she’d just continue to sulk, so I decided to go along with it.

“Okay.”

“I promise.”

It’ll just be a matter of time anyway.

“Okay, I promise, but let’s call it a day. Thank you for everything.”

* * *

Now all that’s left is the tournament tomorrow.

The remaining club is called the Knights.

The club was supposed to be a group of go knights, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what Latte had said last night.

‘The club is called the Knights. It’s a recently formed club, and the strange thing is that it’s maintained by winning internal competitions, most of which are unknown even to the average student at the academy. It must be a club that holds competitions amongst themselves and wins all the prizes.

As she said, the Knights were no ordinary club.

They were the private army of Ray Pendragon, the president of the student council

The same could be said for the internal competition she was talking about. Ray himself organized the student council’s competitions and won the awards himself, and that’s how he’s kept the club alive until now.

That’s not all, the members of this club are not ordinary people either.

It’s a non-military club, but the members are actually middle of the pack among the second and third years.

In other words, the mercenaries they’ve recruited so far are a smokescreen. In the first place, they had the mindset that they only needed to beat me.

“I’m dying of anticipation. Really.”

There’s nothing more satisfying than completely crushing an enemy who’s prepared.

It was a trap set by someone who hadn’t properly analyzed my power.

Perhaps, it would be like all of the Knights rushing in?

I thought so, but…….

“Death to Eugene Han!”

“””Death! Death!”””

“Despair for Familia!”

“””Despair! Despair!””””

I guess I should take back what I said about underestimating my power.

~The day of my duel. An afternoon at the academy~

An army had been assembled against me.

“No, this is a scam! You said it was a non-martial arts club! What kind of non-martial arts club shows up in full plate armor!”

Jin-woo protests to the other side at the ridiculous sight in front of him.

In response, the leader of the Knights, who was also wearing full plate armor, throws up his hands in confusion.

“The student council approved the all-out war this morning, so there’s nothing wrong with it.”

I hadn’t expected the Knights to call for an all-out war today.

The student council is the one who gives the green light for the showdown but I hadn’t expected them to point their blades at us so openly.

“All-out war?! Great, then we can join in right away!”

In response, Jin-woo tries to loosen his tie, but just then, the members of the Knights step back to either side, and a girl walks out from between them.

Seo-yeon, the club manager of the Seoul Hero Academy’s student council.

“──By school rules, for the safety of the students, there must be no dueling the day before, and……you all fall under that category, right?”

She opened the pamphlet she was carrying and spoke casually.

Jin-woo approaches her and exclaims.

“Where in the world is that rule──?”

“Here. See for yourself.”

Seo-yeon says and shows him a page from the booklet. Jin-woo frowns and checks the contents.

“No……does it really exist?”

Seeing Jin-woo’s confused expression, she closes the booklet again and looks back at us.

“Normally, Kim Se-ah, the student who dueled on the first day, would be able to participate, but she’s not here, is she?”

Se-ah is away for mentor lessons today.

In other words, I was the only one who could participate in the all-out war.

“President, hold on a second. I’ll call Se-ah right now.”

“No.”

In response, Young-jae hastily pulled out his cell phone, but I restrained him.

“The match will start soon and even if you call her, she won’t make it in time.”

“But then you’ll have to deal with them alone.”

There were a total of twelve Knights in the room right now.

Funnily enough, all of them were fully armed.

“Well, of course.”

“Boss, why don’t you file an appeal or something? Honestly, it doesn’t make sense for a non-martial arts club to act like that, does it?”

But this time, it was Seo-yeon who answered.

“The members of the club ‘Knights’ did not engage in any duel except for the midterm and final exams, which means that according to the school rules, it is recognized as a ‘non-martial arts club’……Sorry.”

Seo-yeon apologizes quietly at the end for some reason but Jin-woo pounces on her and shouts.

“Where’s that shitty trick!”

“Jin-woo, stop.”

It’s the Pendragon family’s little brat, so I already expected this.

“Why are you so fired up?”

“No, that’s…….”

“In the first place.”

I pull off my top and tug at the gloves on my hands.

“That’s just a good warm-up, so there’s no problem, right?”

“……Boss!”

And there was only one person who understood.

“Eugene. I’m jealous.”

The problem was that it was Choi Yeon.

She’d probably be jealous if I fought 100 people.

-All right, it’s three minutes to the start of the all-out war! All participants, please report to the field!

The crackling sound from the speakers echoed in all directions, and the students cheered along with it.

Since it’s an all-out war, this time it’s not in the training room, but on the field outside.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had an all-out war. Inevitably, many people would gather.

My name has been spreading around the academy a lot lately, and I could see people of different ranks gathered around the outside field than I had seen during the first all-out war at Familia.

I can feel eyes watching me through the crowd.

Not just hostile eyes. There’s also concern, and an unmistakable air of favor.

It feels good, like a validation that what I’ve been doing hasn’t been wrong.

“I’ll be right back.”

“What? You’ll be right back?”

I pat Young-jae and Jin-woo on the shoulder and slowly walk into the field.

In the distance, I can see the members of the student council gathered.

I still feel bad just looking at them. Ray is wearing a cool smile and Julie is staring at me with an expressionless face.

However, her hands were clasped tightly across her chest, shaking furiously.

It was her way of cheering me on.

As I slowly entered the field, I could see the members of the Knights checking their equipment in the distance.

I warmed up lightly and bounced in place as instructor Fadoyun’s voice came from the loudspeaker inside the field.

-Because it’s an all-out war, we need to set up a field, but……this time, we’ll use the instructor’s discretion to give the outnumbered ‘Familia’ side a choice of field! Student Eugene Han, which field do you want?

“Dark place.”

-Huh?

“The darkest field, please.”

-……Check! The field is “Grassland” and the time is “Night”. I hope both teams will show us a good battle! Both teams, get ready! The opening round will start at the same time as the field changes!

At the same time, the field shines brightly and turns dark.

The surrounding scenery changes as if the stage is changing.

A light breeze tickles my hair, and the hard ground feels like fluffy dirt.

“Go!!!”

It’s night in a meadow field, with only the moonlight illuminating the ground to recognize my surroundings.

In the distance, I begin to see a group of men running toward me with the sound of stampeding feet.

All twelve of them, in perfect formation, are coming toward me. Their movements are clearly practiced.

As I watch, I reach into the cube and squeeze Tommy’s handle with a little more force than usual.

Okay, no big deal.

Literally child’s play compared to what I’ve been doing.

“That doesn’t mean I don’t feel bad, does it?”

Doing something very blatantly ridiculous.

Therefore

“I need you to be the ones I vent my anger on this time.”

So Ray Pendragon won’t bring any more of this shit.

[A number of enemies are sending enmity.]

[Bloodline Ability: Corleone is activated.]

[Talent:【Enforcer】 is activated.]

[Abyssal Flame Ring reacts to darkness.]

[Stats increase.]

I slowly walk forward, pointing my Tommy at them.

A rumbling voice comes from the other side.

“His weapons can’t penetrate the shield! All units, activate shields and advance!”

The shields of the men in front of them glowed, and a translucent barrier began to surround them.

The Tommy gun had been used many times before, so it must have been studied.

But

“……When the hell are you talking about enemies?”

The information was so outdated.

──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!! / ──!!

‘Al Capone’s Tommy’ spits out flames and makes a creepy sound as a huge boom is heard as the bullets fired land.

“What, what, it’s cracked, the shield is cracked!”

“Mages, reinforce the shields now!”

“I thought you said shields were impenetrable!”

Despite my mild greeting, their camp begins to shake.

“I haven’t even started yet.”

I continue to walk toward them, while pouring my aura into the Tommy.

“Ugh, we’re changing the defense!”

As a result, they could no longer advance and their movement stopped.

Buffs were added to the shields with a flash of light and suddenly, the seemingly impenetrable shield was barely holding.

At the same time

“Fire!”

Arrows begin to fly from the gaps in the shield as they have begun to hold me at bay.

A classic move that would have worked against an ordinary club or a moderately strong opponent, yes, against a moderately strong opponent.

[Activate Black Sword!]

I charge at them, accelerating just before the arrows land on me.

At the same time, I swap the Tommy in my hand for Billy the Kid’s shotgun. Keeping it slung over my shoulder, I charge at them, pumping as much Aura as I can into it.

“Stop him!”

In response, a few of the troopers rushed forward to stop me.

“Okay, hold on.”

Is there any way they could block a shotgun that even worked on a dragon?

Kwaang───!

The guys who couldn’t withstand the impact just flew backwards, screaming in despair.

“Crazy, did they just get knocked out by a single blow?!”

“Use everything you can! Debuffs, curses, whatever!”

[DisPater resists Abyssal Miasma!]

[Resisted successfully!]

“Alas, to no avail?”

After firing two rounds I rotated the shotgun with one hand and spin-cocked to reload.

The muzzle, which emits an ugly red light, is pointed at the guys once again.

“Crazy!”

“Scatter!”

An individual cannot defeat an army but we recognize individuals who can overcome such situations and call them heroes.

So what about this situation?

An individual outmaneuvering an army.

An individual who overwhelms an army.

And we call them

“Monster!”

Monster.

It doesn’t sound too bad.
