I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 110

The guy's head slowly finds its position after turning to the side.

Now that he seems to have grasped the situation, his eyes no longer waver.

As expected, the theory that slapping someone who's dazed and confused is effective is well-established.

"By the look in your eyes, it seems like you have a lot of questions. Right?"

The guy nods at my words.

Leaving the three people who seem excited for some reason behind, Jeongwon and I enter the President's Office, and Jeongwon speaks first.

"......How is the president of the freshman Familia also a disciple of the great master Gwak Chunshik?"

The great master Gwak Chunshik...

Considering Gwak Chunshik's preference for this kind of organization, I thought it was a very Gwak Chunshik-like title.

"How did I become the old master's disciple? Well, past connections, chance encounters, and talent. These things made it easy to become his disciple."

Saying so, I lean comfortably against the spot where I originally sat.

Meanwhile, Seah, who has been watching everything from behind, looks at me with eyes that can't understand what just happened.

"Yoo, Yoojin. What on earth is going on here?"

"Well, I benefited a bit from our mentor. As you know, the old master Gwak Chunshik is a very famous person. But by a stroke of luck, Jeongwon over there is an alumnus of the dojo the old master established."

But judging by his reaction, it seems he didn't attend the Freshman Welcome Party.

It doesn't seem like he lacks skill... He probably didn't participate in the Freshman Welcome Party and was somewhere breaking boards like the punch-crazy guys.

"......If you had participated in the Freshman Welcome Party, there wouldn't have been a need for explanation."

At my words, Jinwoo stands up and claps his hands as if he understands.

"Ah! So, it's like the senior and junior disciples in martial arts novels, and the old master is the boss?"

"Exactly. Not just an old master, but a highly revered old master."

He's at the level of a direct disciple of the previous headmaster who appeared before the second-generation disciple.

In other words, it means that I am in the same lineage as Gwak Chunsam, who is the current head of the dojo that this guy respects like the sky.

"But Jinwoo, how do you know about this?"

They wouldn't teach this kind of etiquette in Calione.

It was quite surprising that Jinwoo, not Seah or Youngje, knew about this.

"Huh? I just read a lot of martial arts novels back in school."

......I instantly understood.

There's nothing better than that when you're slacking off at school.

Anyway, I turn my gaze back and point to the seat opposite me where Jeongwon seems to be sorting out his thoughts.

"Why don't you sit down? There's some dessert here, too."

As I glance at him and ask, he slowly approaches and sits across from me.

"So, junior disciple. You came to collect a debt from the 'Ranger Club'?"

"......It seems I was mistaken."

Finally having sorted out his thoughts, he responds with respect.

As expected, he's from the CS's Dosanseowon, known as the Mu Academy. A beautiful sight.

Yet, his tightly clenched fists seem to suggest that while his mind might understand, his body refuses to accept it.

Interesting.

I felt like giving him another shock at this point.

"So, who sent you here?"

"......Sent by someone? I'm not here for that reason."

"You didn't come on someone's orders?"

Come on, I can already smell it.

The organization that's trying to bother us at this time.

And if it's an organization related to the 'Ranger Club'... it must be them.

"The Hunter Club── those rats."

At that moment, he flinches, and his eyes tremble.

"Looks like I'm right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Right, I guess I'll have to kindly explain it to you step by step."

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Pretending to be lost in thought, I tap the table with the tip of my index finger, then look up and meet his eyes.

"From now on, I'll explain why the 'Hunter Club' sent you here, one by one. And you'll come closer and closer to the moment in your life that you'll regret the most."

Even after saying this, he remains silent.

As expected, for these dumb guys from the 'Ares Club', it seems better to make them understand with their bodies rather than words.

"One. The Hunter guys put a very suspicious request in front of our club. They called it a three-day mercenary rental, but in reality, it's a request to enter a dungeon alone where Hunter Club members are. You must understand what this means?"

An outsider joining a party where everyone else is a friend and colleague, except for him?

And into a dungeon at that?

It's the perfect condition to disguise it as a mysterious accident.

From the start, this request can be seen as nothing more than a blatant attempt to keep us in check.

"Two. They openly challenged our club to a fight."

Among the clubs, 'Familia' was like a hot potato.

A club created by a freshman who had only been enrolled for a day.

The club that brought down the 'Fund Investment Club,' a Gold Club.

The club that defeated the 'Ranger Club,' which was ranked at the top in combat among the Bronze Clubs.

And, the club that ended the academy's terrorism.

"No matter how I think about it, you can't possibly be unaware of the rumors about Familia. No, even if you look down on us, it doesn't make sense to challenge us like this with those rumors around. The answer is obvious."

Someone much stronger than us, who thinks they can overwhelm us, is backing them.

"If you ask which club that could be related to us, currently, there's only the Hunter Club. Isn't that enough of an explanation?"

Even though I explained it kindly enough for Jinwoo to understand, the guy just kept his head down, not giving any response.

Well, it's understandable.

"......So, you're exercising your right to remain silent?"

Then, shall I tell you something even more interesting?

At my words, his eyebrows twitch and move.

"The Freshman Welcome Party at lunchtime. You didn't know that the president of the association tried to insult the old master Gwak Chunshik there, did you?"

"The president insulted the great master!"

As soon as Gwak Chunshik's name comes up, he immediately reacts.

"Yes, he did. Insult. As if being the president of the association gave him the right to disrespect the old master, he tried to attack him. And at that moment, there were a few guys who were smiling."

Someone was laughing while Gwak Chunshik, who he considers as his sky, was being insulted?

"......Who was it."

Exactly!

He must be curious.

How could someone dare to mock the founder of the martial art to which he has dedicated everything?

And I told him the truth with a very kind and honest face.

"──The president of the Hunter Club. Bae Gilwoo."

That was the truth.

The original goal of Bae Gilwoo, the president of the Hunter Club, was to create a Hunter Association like the Hero Association.

In the original story, he was portrayed as someone who would do anything to create the Hunter Association, so it's not strange.

I suspect there was some kind of agreement between him and the president of the association.

"Bae Gilwoo did that?"

"Yes. Well, there's no remaining evidence, but... do you think I would lie about something related to the old master's honor?"

If I say this much, he's in a situation where he has to believe me even if he doesn't want to.

If he objects, it's no different from trampling on the honor of the old master Gwak Chunshik, so he'll have no choice but to accept it.

"......I'll believe that. Of course, I'll investigate separately on my end, but."

He says he'll believe it, but not completely.

Seeing that he knows how to escape like this, it seems he's not that foolish.

He's just hot-tempered.

Depending on how he's used, he might be a decent guy.

"Do that. But remember, if evidence or a situation comes up that confirms my words, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, as I said."

"What is that... Can you tell me?"

"It won't be fun if I tell you now, will it? You should save it for the fun of finding out later."

I said that and took out the business card case I had kept in the cube, throwing a business card with my number written on it to the guy.

The name of the Familia, the address of the club booth, and my personal business card with my number on it.

"If you're curious or want to talk more about the Hunter Club, feel free to contact me anytime."

"......That won't happen."

In the end, the guy who didn't break his pride until the very end got up from his seat and started walking towards the exit.

Then he suddenly stopped.

"The Hunter Club's request. It's better not to take it."

"......What's that. Didn't you not trust us yet?"

"I just told you so you wouldn't tarnish the reputation of Grandmaster Gwak Chunshik."

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

"......Something. He's incredibly fiery yet calm like water."

Seah then expressed her thoughts about Lee Jeongwon.

"So, Yoojin. Can we cancel the request sent from the Hunter Club?"

After Jinwoo's community promotion incident, Seah, who had become responsible for managing Familia's internet, asked me while entering the management tab of the request board.

"No, don't reject it, press accept."

"Yes? Accept?"

And Youngje, who was surprised along with Seah.

"Boss. Didn't you hear it was a trap? Are you really going to accept it? Even if you do, who are you going to send?"

To the kids' questions, I smiled and said.

"Of course, I'll go myself."

"Won't it be too dangerous?"

To this, Seah asked with concern. Then, Jinwoo, who had been quiet until now, suddenly shook his head.

"It's the Hunter Club that's in danger. What can they do? If they dare to target the boss in the dungeon, they'll be the ones to die, right? Isn't that right, boss?"

......I didn't plan on killing them, but it seems Jinwoo, who has experienced my strength firsthand, knows it best.

"Indeed, I'm not at a level where they can take me down. I have plans in place for dangerous situations."

To catch a tiger, you have to enter the tiger's den, so why can't we enter a dungeon to catch the bugs that bother us?

"As always, Familia doesn't back down from a fight that comes to us."

That's the will of Calione and the decision I will lead Familia with.

* * *

After finishing all the club activities and returning home, I was checking the news as usual to prepare for future events.

"......The incident at the Freshman Welcome Party didn't make it to the news."

It seems the reporters were thoroughly muzzled, considering the bigwigs who were there.

I thought it was a good opportunity to tarnish the image of the President of the Association, but the only articles that came up were ordinary reports, which was disappointing.

"Well, we blocked the Villain Alliance's attack on the academy, and the Freshman Welcome Party ended well...... so all that's left is to complete the main quests one after another, right?"

I currently have a total of 2 main quests.

The main story of the academy and the main story of Calione.

"I can handle the academy route with this Hunter Club request...... and the Calione story, can I clear it quickly if I keep going like this?"

As I was muttering to myself and thinking about it,

The sound of someone running urgently from the hallway.

"Young Master!!"

The one who burst through the door was Han Seojun, who should have been getting ready to leave work.

"Han Seojun? What brings you here at this hour?"

The guy was panting heavily and sweating profusely.

I was taken aback by his appearance, which was hard to believe was the usually composed Han Seojun──

"Calione...... Calione is under attack."

"......What?"

The reason it had to be so was explained.
