I Became a Mafia in the Academy
chapter-75

Chapter 75

I clamped the blanket to my mouth at the sudden pain in my shoulder.

“Extinguish──!!”

Meanwhile, the flame continued to burn my shoulder.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the flames were made of Aura, not ordinary fire.

But why is an Aura flame burning my shoulder?

The answer came when I looked at my shoulder where the flame landed.

Slowly, like a laser engraving, a black figure began to form on my shoulder and as the image unfolds, it reveals itself to be the side view of a wolf.

The red aura and the pain disappeared only after the shading was perfectly etched.

[Character “Eugene Corleone: Epic Imprint” creation completed!]

The pain in my shoulder was no longer there, as if it had been a dream.

“……I’m going to die, really.”

There were so many different ways for each character to get their [Epic Imprint] engraved.

It could be embedded in their favorite objects, carved into their bodies in the form of symbols, or appear in forms that only they could see.

And the rarest form of marking was the writing or drawing on the body.

Even then, most of the time, it’s only in a shamanic sense, so it’s just patterns, lines, and writing.

It was rare to see such intuitive drawings but a painting like this……I had no idea what other people would think when they saw it.

“Well, at least it’s not an ordinary picture.”

I open my status window for the first time in a while and look at my attributes and skills.

“Narrative Imprint (1)”

Whenever the user completes an achievement, they will have a picture from the epic imprinted on their body, recreating the epic at the time.

-Wolf (Hunter of the Night): He is a wolf who hunts his enemies under the light of the moon. He is a hunter who leads a large pack, undaunted by enemies larger than himself.

“……I like the meaning and the effect.”

The effects of [Epic Imprint] are not described intuitively, so I can only guess at the effects, but based on the description, it seems like it contains effects such as improving physical abilities at night and increasing abilities and charm against stronger enemies.

“I’ll have to try it out later.”

Okay, if they’re giving away abilities like that, is that really a picture?

Anyway, if anyone asked, I could just say it was the effect of the skill.

“Plus, tomorrow’s the day I’m going to learn the Aura Formula…… I’m really getting stronger than ever, aren’t I?”

Originally, it was impossible to get [Epic Imprint] at this time, no matter what I did.

Narrative imprinting means that I’ve immersed myself in the character’s narrative, so it’s naturally tied to playtime.

However, I was able to fight Blanca in a 1v1 battle less than a month after creating the character. And then I open up the [Epic Imprint]?

I knew that if I put it out to the community, I’d be called a bugger, and I’d get all sorts of profanity-laced rhetoric telling me not to mess with them.

All of this is probably due to my background and abilities.

“……Eugene Corleone.”

One of CS’s greatest golden boys, inheriting the talent, blood, and abilities of Vito Corleone and an idiot for not utilizing any of those abilities.

Perhaps the narrative of the rich history of the Corleone family was enhanced by the fact that the character was infused with …….

One of the things I realized while inhabiting this body was that if the Eugene Han Corleone of the game had been able to think normally, the worldview of CS would have changed drastically.

“How in the world did he manage to become such a lowly villain with this body? I don’t understand.”

If I became this strong in such a short period of time, how much stronger could I be in the future……I felt my anticipation swell, and I slipped under the covers and closed my eyes to cool off.

After all, the night to enjoy sleep was very short.

* * *

“……So, you’re telling me to kick this thing?”

“Yes.”

“This toy?”

“It’s not a toy, it’s something I actually use against villains.”

“Okay. …..But it’s pink and it has a teddy bear sticker on it.”

“You’re borrowing something from someone you barely know, and you say that? It’s the owner’s favorite color, and pink is a man’s color!”

“……Is the owner of this a man?”

“Of course it’s a woman.”

“……Ha. But what’s a man’s color, don’t you know it’s dangerous to say that nowadays?”

“So, you don’t like it?”

But I can’t say I don’t like the fact that he’s been saving up for me…….

At this point, I had flown all the way to Gangwon Province, and I was in deep trouble over the bracelet in front of me.

When I arrived in Gangwon Province I was told that a personalized Aura training program had been prepared for me and I could tell he was serious about teaching me.

Until……he told me to wear a damn pink teddy bear bracelet.

The Great Awakening Inhibitor is an item that could suppress an Awakened use of Aura and mana, and it was often used to arrest or detain villains.

It’s safe to say that they’re strictly controlled in the country, but he came out with such a bizarrely customized bracelet, claiming to have gotten it from an acquaintance.

I mean, why would anyone want to put a teddy bear sticker on a bracelet that’s only for villains?

Something that made me wonder if they intentionally put it on to shame the villains the moment they were captured.

“Aren’t you supposed to at least tell me why I’m supposed to wear this?”

“What? Didn’t I tell you?”

……I might run away now but I decided to at least wait for a reason why I should wear it.

“It’s how these bracelets work. They’re supposed to bind the magic and aura, so their viscosity increases and immobilizes them.”

“So even you can’t use an aura with this?”

“What!”

Kwak Chun-sik yells at me.

“How many years have I been around, and you think this can stop my aura? I can move my aura whether it’s solidified or pale as water!”

“So I’ll put this in and try to make my aura stick together. Is that it?”

“Yes! Does that make any sense?”

My weakness, he said, was that I couldn’t hold the shape of the aura I sent out of my body.

And this bracelet, he said, was meant to fix that, and bind the aura together.

Well, that makes sense, except for the…… problem.

“But I’m not an old man, and if I wear it, I won’t be able to use my aura, so how am I supposed to train?”

“Oh, your blood will take care of that.”

“……?”

“That unrestrained aura you showed me. A normal Awakened would have a hard time even spreading their aura, but you do it like you breathe. It’s still a guess, but wearing it won’t prevent you from using that, right?”

So……I might be immune to the inhibitor?

His words seemed to answer all my questions.

Vito Corleone is a national power, a man who had no teacher, but rose to the top on his own, before he had an organization.

The question was why the state failed to stop him and it occurred to me that it might be because of the aura nature of Vito Corleone.

After all, if it doesn’t stop him, he’s going to do a lot of damage.

“Is this……something I can just wear on my hand?”

“I don’t know. I always have someone put it for me.”

“Like when you get arrested for killing that villain?”

“Shut up, asshole, those guys deserved to die!”

Steeling myself, I slowly pick up the bracelet.

This is just an ordinary bracelet.

This is just an ordinary bracelet.

This is just…….

……

…

Mmm…….

Oh……?

Huh?

“Why, what’s with the look on your face?”

“I’m surprised because it feels weird.”

“Does it feel weird?”

“Yeah, it’s more comfortable than I thought it would be, but then again, it feels like it’s tickling my body.”

“……I thought it would be unpleasant.”

I wonder why he doesn’t seem to trust me.

“Would you like to try it old man?”

“Do you think I’m crazy to put a suppressor on me?”

……What does that make me?

I held back my anger, remembering that my opponent was an Aura Master.

Yes, he’s stronger than me.

Let’s be patient. I must endure…….

“So, how is your aura?”

Hearing Kwak Chun-sik’s words, I checked the aura inside my body.

“It definitely feels like the auras are clumping together a bit, like…… something that used to be liquid has turned into jelly?”

“But since you say it’s jelly, it seems it can still move.”

“Yes.”

Slowly, I pulled the aura out of my hand, and a red aura bloomed on my palm.

However, instead of spreading immediately as it usually does, the aura slowly wobbles like a flame.

I willed it to reshape itself, and I could feel the aura’s shape change slightly.

“Hmmm…… It certainly seems to be moving.”

“That’s right. For now, you need to keep moving the aura in this state to get a feel for it. With the inhibitors on it will be easier than starting from scratch.”

Apparently feeling that his method was working very well, he looked at the aura, which continued to squirm in my palm, with a smug smile.

“So that’s all we do for today?”

“Of course not. For the next few days, you will wear the bracelet since you need it to learn Aura control, and it will help you immensely.”

……Wear this for the next few days?

Really?
