I Became a Mafia in the Academy
chapter-6

Chapter 6

A helicopter landed with a loud noise at the academy’s helipad.

Why the heck the academy has a helipad in the first place?

“We’ve arrived, Young Master,” Han Seo-jun said as he opened the helicopter door. There was no one around.

Silently nodding his head, he got off the helicopter and looked at his smartphone. According to the time, it had only been about two hours since they arrived on the deserted island at a reasonable speed.

As he entered the classroom at a reasonable pace, he saw Jisu-hyeon sitting there with an evil smile.

“Congratulations. You are in first place.”

I nodded my head and took my seat. The situation on the island was displayed on the chalkboard at the front of the classroom.

“Have you been watching us through this?”

I already knew the ominous witch was watching us all.

But I couldn’t let her know that I knew, could I?

“Oh, right. You were watching to see how we handled things.”

And what she saw of us would probably be recorded in our student records.

“Do you want to watch with me?”

“I will not decline.”

I looked at the screen she was staring at as I spoke.

Kim Se-ah was casting spells while the other guys were bringing in more magic stones.

It seemed like they were doing well.

As I was watching the guys on the island, the classroom door opened and Ji Soo-hyun greeted with a smile.

“Did you come? You got second place.”

One of the guys covered in salt approached me without a greeting.

“How did you get first place?”

The guy, whose name tag read “Choi Kang-hyun,” asked me without any formalities, looking very curious.

“I swam at full speed, but I never thought there would be a guy who came before me. How.?”

Well, there was no need to lie.

“By helicopter.”

“Helicopter?”

“I rode a private helicopter. I have a lot of money.”

“….I see.”

After hearing my answer quickly, he seemed to lose lost interest and returned to his seat as if nothing happened.

“If you need a job or money, just let me know anytime.”

I said that to the guy who sat down without saying a word, and I’m sure he’ll contact me soon.

Thinking that, I focused on the video again.

After about 30 minutes of watching the video in silence, the results started to show.

Most of the students with glasses seemed to be able to come back safely, and the other guys were also returning in their own way.

“Instructor, can I go in first?”

Choi Kang-hyun, who seemed to have seen the results, stood up and asked Joo Soo-hyun.

“Go ahead.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The guy who answered like that left the classroom first.

“Don’t you want to go too?”

Joo Soo-hyun looked at me as if she was interested, still sitting in her seat.

“No, I’ll watch a little longer.”

“Okay, do as you wish.”

I have to recruit useful guys within this school and make an organization.

A smile naturally formed on my face as I already started imagining the organization chart.

***

“I’m back.”

I could only arrive home around 3 o’clock.

Originally, I was thinking about taking the bus home, but after seeing a group of black cars rushing out of the school gate, I quickly gave up.

Honestly, it was overprotective.

“So, how was the first day at the academy?”

My father, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, asked me bluntly.

What should I say? Should I tell him that I was sent to a deserted island on the first day? But I decided to give a safe answer.

“It was fun.”

It was an experience to see the heroes that I could only see in games in person.

Honestly, I was quite excited.

“That’s good then.”

My father replied bluntly to my words and started reading the newspaper again.

My father, Don Vito Corleone, sitting down and reading the newspaper means he’s not currently working for the organization and is taking a break.

Thinking that this was an opportunity, I immediately sat opposite my father.

“Boss. I have something to say.”

“Boss…?”

Father’s expression stiffened momentarily upon hearing my words, then quickly changed to one of interest.

“Sure, go ahead and tell me.”

Seeming to realize that I wanted to talk about the organization upon hearing me address him as “Boss,” Father put down his newspaper and looked at me.

The gaze of the boss of the organization alone was enough to be intimidating, but I calmly spoke while meeting his eyes.

“I want to establish a small branch of the organization at the academy.”

Father listened to my words and took out a cigarette from the box on the table.

It was a sign that he found my proposal interesting.

“Really? Then why don’t you do as you think.?”

Of course, if it were just my own organization, I could have just done that, but my plan was far more ambitious than that.

“If I can successfully establish a respectable organization, I would like it to be officially take it under Corleone.”

The Corleone Family’s affiliated organization. That was what I was aiming for.

“What are you thinking, asking to be officially recognized as under the Corleone family?”

It was a very natural reaction from my father.

It was no different from asking a luxury brand maker to include an ordinary product from a market stall without any certification in their launch.

However, it was a necessary step to realize my plan.

Anyone who has played the underworld play knows the story of the Corleone family.

Eugene Corleone is a character originally portrayed as a mediocre villain in the game.

A sub-villain who engages in dirty deeds out of inferiority complex.

And Eugene’s behavior disappoints Vito Corleone, and Corleone, who thinks about the safety of the organization, decides to choose a successor in a different way.

That is to compete among the organizations under the Corleone’s umbrella.

And the successor of the victorious organization becomes Corleone’s “quantum” and becomes Corleone’s official successor.

“I just want to test myself.”

Honestly, even if I became Corleone’s successor now, there was no guarantee that my future father would easily hand over Corleone to me.

The game’s Eugene never became the boss of Corleone under any circumstances.

So I thought.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible for me to become a boss the way Corleone did?

since I wasn’t that guy from the original? the possibility is more than enough.

“I see, so want to give it a try…”

As my Father was smoking a cigarette and lost in thought, he suddenly cut off the end with a cigar cutter and spoke up.

“Well, that sounds interesting. Alright, go ahead and do as you please.”

“Yes, Boss.”

With that, my duty with the Boss was done. Now, I changed my attitude and immediately sat next to my father.

“Hmm? What’s this now?”

“Father.”

“….?”

Vito was surprised when I called him ‘father’ just after referring to him as ‘Boss’ a moment ago.

I’m embarrassed…but I had no choice for my plan to work.

After all, I was using the fact that I am ‘Eugene Han Caliogne’.

“I have a request, Father.”

“Are you saying this as my son?”

“Yes.”

Despite the businesslike expression he had just moments ago, Father now looked at me with a smile.

Seeing him like that, I laughed happily, convinced that my plan had virtually succeeded.

When I returned to my room after talking with my father,

My little sister Jiyoon hugged my lap and asked, “Oppa, how was the academy? Are there really a lot of heroes?” and looked up at me with her chin raised.

Her appearance was so lovely. How did such a child come out from under our father?

I stroked Jiyoon’s head and replied, “Yeah, that’s right.”

Jiyoon’s face brightened at my words.

“Then you’ll become a hero too, right, oppa?”

“Hmm… I guess so.”

Actually, I was more like a Dark Knight than a hero, but I didn’t need to explain that to her.

“As expected, My oppa is the best!”

Saying that, Jiyoon buried her face in mine and I stroked her hair a few more times before returning to my room.

“Well, I guess I should check it out.”

A new alarm had already popped up on my smartphone.

[Reward (N)]

[Character Encyclopedia (N)]

It seemed that a new character had been added to the encyclopedia.

[Name: Choi Kang-hyun]

[Belongs to: Republic of Korea, Academy]

[Description: A human blessed by the sea. It is said that he becomes stronger near water such as the sea or lakes. His home life is said to be very difficult.]

A description that seems really roughly written.

In the game, as the story of that character progresses, it will likely be improved later.

“I wonder if he’ll become useful if I grow him, as he still seems quite weak?”

The guy that I’ve seen a few times in the game.

Choi Kang-hyun, the prince of the sea.

A character who would starve to death if he didn’t receive a scholarship at the academy due to extreme poverty in his household, and who was virtually invisible.

I planned to make him my own by offering him money.

“Well, there’s no hurry for him yet… what’s most urgent is checking the reward.”

I immediately checked the reward that I couldn’t confirm from the helicopter.

[Reward(N)]

[Become the Emperor of the Underworld. First, you must engrave your power! Make your classmates respect or fear you!]

[Target number: 19 / 10 ]

[Exceeded achievement!]

[Reward content]

-New Trait: Hitman

[1. Hitman: The sword of the organization that eliminates enemies. Hitmen remain calm in any situation.

Proficiency in firearms is greatly increased.]

-Exceeded achievement reward: An item search ticket will be granted.

“This is insane…!”

Item Search Ticket.

It was an item that could be seen in special events or quests in the game.

This CS was a game where everything changed every time it started anew, as if following chaos theory. Everything was always new and the locations of items were also random.

Even NPCs were always changing, so to speak.

Therefore, the significance of the item search ticket in this game could not be overstated.

“To give this at a time like this…”

The usefulness of this item was endless.

It was a chance to get a unique item that was only available in this world, or to obtain items for one’s specialty for life.

However, there was one problem…

“It only shows the ‘location’, not the item it gives… So, if you pick a weird item, you might only get the location and not be able to get it.”

In a past playthrough, I had searched for the location of the Phoenix Feather, which was the only one in the game.

And the search result was [Chronos’ Secret Warehouse], but since I didn’t know the location, I ended up just throwing away the search ticket.

“It’s better to search for items that you can easily obtain…”

Is there such an item?

If it’s a good enough item for me to covet, it’s likely to be in a difficult place to obtain.

“I’ll just save it for later.”

I rack my brain as much as possible. It would be best to acquire it now if I want to learn combat skills at the academy starting tomorrow.

What weapon would be most suitable for me now?

Usually, when I choose a weapon, I select an item that fits the concept of maximizing the strengths of each character.

So, what weapon should I choose now?

I, Eugene Corleone, am the heir to the Mafia. Then, what kind of weapon suits the Mafia?

“…I got it.”

A weapon that could be considered the soul of the Mafia, a weapon that cannot be taken down even if one tries to attack the Mafia.

And, the weapon that was most efficient in sweeping away the early mobs.

Having finished the calculation that it must be somewhere in Korea around this time, I immediately wrote down the name of that weapon on the item usage voucher.

***

The foreign area of Incheon tainted with darkness, commonly known as the lawless zone.

The dim foreign language signs and the filthy smell mixed in the fog seem to make the atmosphere of the street even darker.

An old sign written in the place where I arrived.

[Wild Gunsmith]

That was the name of the gun shop I was looking for.

“Welcome… Huh? a kid?”

The owner greeted me with a clinking sound, then frowned.

“I came to buy a gun.”

“What? Even if were living in the F**ked up world, I won’t sell it to a kid like you. Get lost.”

“You talk too much.”

The world of CS is truly chaotic and tumultuous.

Due to the sudden appearance of dungeons, a new culture emerged in South Korea where individuals have to protect themselves.

Legalization of firearms.

Thanks to this, obtaining firearms in this world was not that difficult.

There were so many guns available in nearby gun shops and black markets.

“I’m a student of the academy. With this, I don’t need to show my gun license, right?”

Of course, a gun license was still necessary in this world.

However, the students of the academy are future heroes who will fight on the front lines of humanity.

That is why they can buy guns with just their student ID without showing a gun license.

“Academy student ID? There shouldn’t be any problem legally, but like I said earlier, we don’t sell to kids.”

However, the owner turns his head as if it doesn’t matter even after seeing my student ID.

It’s frustrating how they sell things for money in games but refuse to sell to me like this.

Should I take the easy way out?

“Lo sarà davvero?”

(Will It work?)

The owner is momentarily surprised by my Italian that popped out of my mouth, but soon snorted.

“Ha! Do I look like someone who would care if you were a ‘real’ Italian?”

“Veramente?”

(Really?)

I’m not just an ordinary Italian, though.

With a grin, I gesture towards the ring with the Corleone emblem on it.

This makes the owner’s expression stiffen.

“Wait…’Family’? You’re just a kid.”

The owner’s voice changes.

It seems he didn’t realize I was the successor with just the ring, but luckily he treats me as a customer instead of a kid.

“Well, it happened. So, can you show me the merchandise now?”

After I say that, the owner lets out a sigh and speaks.

“Ha, if it’s guns for self-defense, you can use any of the items hanging on that wall. For beginners, I recommend a revolver if possible.”

I spoke to the owner while keeping my eyes on him.

“Not those toys you can find on the streets. I want to see something proper.”

“What are you talking about?”

He looked at me as if I was being strange, but I smiled at him.

“Caponne’s Tommy. Do you have it?”

Of course, if it’s the Mafia, it would be Tommy, right?

Hahaha! Mc is badass, It’s Al Capone’s Tommy Gun time.
