I Become a Mafia in the Academy Chapter 113:

A barrage of flares painted the sky over Area C red.

The sight alerted to sothing going on outside, and before we left the mall, I turned to Latte.

Didnt Alessia tell you where she was headed?

What? Uh, yeah. Just that she was going to take a look around and co back

At that mont.

A series of explosions, accompanied by the sounds of quang! bang! bang!

I think I know where it is without you telling .

Explosions of this magnitude ant that a battle had broken out between the Awakened.

Parnello, I want you to get the n who arent fighting right now to secure this place andmove with . Latte, do you have any ans of contact?

Oh, no. My cell phone is at Alessia.

I imdiately handed her the radio I was carrying.

Stay here and call if anything happens.

Got it!

She might look frail on the outside, but she was one of the elite survivors of Niflheim.

She should be able to handle most things.

Lets move.

Yes Master.

We stomped the ground and sprinted down the road.

We were out of the hypermarket in a flash, running toward the nearest source of the flares.

Drrrrrrrrr

The gunfire grew louder as we got closer.

As I entered the building where the sound was coming from, I could see mbers of the organization facing off against the apparently Awakened villain.

Damned Corleone minions!

The villain yells.

He was pinned down by one of our Hitn, and was being tossed around by three others firing from all directions.

Pour it on!

Holyshit!

Judging by the villain sprawled on the floor, there were originally two of them.

The more he moves, the smaller and smaller his radius of action becos.

This is Corleone Great Awakening combat technique.

It shows that Corleone thod of training in anticipation of a battle with the Awakened is working.

Master and Lord Parnello are here!

Finish him off!

A baptism of bullets rained down on the stricken man, backing him into a corner, until finally the dagger of the man in front of him pierced his abdon.

What happened to him?

While searching the building, we encountered a group of villains guarding a strange-looking mushroom, and as you can see, we killed two of them. No injuries.

Villains are standing by?

That ant that there might be villains sowhere else besides here.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another explosion from sowhere else.

I think I got it.

I wondered why Id lost contact with Alessia, and why I kept hearing explosions outside.

Parnello, I need to ask you a favor.

As you wish.

I think Alessia is where the explosions are coming from, and I need to get there, but in the anti, will you lead the others to clear the area?

I decided it would be better for Parnello, who was more mobile and skilled than , to go around and clear the area.

He nods as if he, too, sees the wisdom of the plan.

Thats what Ill do, and let know if anything happens.

I nod at Parnellos words, borrow a spare radio from one of my n, and head out.

The sounds of flares and gunfire still echo through the streets like a battlefield.

Theyre doing it in style.

It was the comrcial district where Id shared an egg roll with Alessia not long ago.

Alessia is there.

With a destination in mind, there was no reason to hesitate.

I bolstered my legs with aura and started running, kicking the ground with all my might.

Leaping over cars and building debris in her way, I jumped to the top of the tallest building in the neighborhood and landed on its roof.

My vision opens up even wider.

Confirming that I was headed in the right direction, I leap over a few more buildings and finally reach the comrcial district.

This is serious.

The view of the comrcial district from the top of the building was devastating.

I can see why hes here.

At the plaza in the center of the business district there were food courts, food, and colorful balloons for what appeared to be a festival.

Of course, it was all burned to the ground.

And in the center of it all, a battle was raging.

Hmmm. He must be infected, but how can he move like that, Lady?

Dont talk to him, hes disgusting.

A quick glance showed a scarred Alessia and the clown grinning at her.

Bloody Clown, it had to be him.

Thats a sha, I only gave you a gift.

You throw thatbomb and call it a gift.

Yourecrazy.

Ahhhhhhhh!

At the sa ti, Bloody Clown fumbles a puppy-shaped balloon out of his pocket and tosses it toward Alessia.

I bring you happiness!

Damnkulkulkulk!

Alessia grimaces as she tries to run away from the puppies coming toward her.

anwhile, the puppies keep getting closer.

In response, Alessia bites her lip and raises the dagger in her hand.

-Boom, boom, boom!

All the balloons moving towards her exploded at once.

Anyway, you should have told if you were sick, did you really have to go out for a night walk?

Master?

I blew on the end of my smoking Tommy and turned to Alessia.

Your body.

Im fine.

You, you have blood on your lip.

Really?

Alessia wipes the corner of her mouth, startled by my words.

Im faking it.

A joke in this situation, thats too much. Kulkulkulk!

Up close, I can see that her condition is worse than I thought.

Pale skin, blue bruises on her legs and arms, and deep dark circles.

Shed been fighting him, and shed gotten sick.

Luckily, I pulled out one of the gas masks I kept as a backup and handed it to Alessia.

Get so rest.

May I?

Alessia takes the gas mask I handed her and smiles weakly.

Yeah, Ill give you a vacation so you can get so rest.

After reassuring her, I look over the slowly clearing smoke to Bloody Clown, who is giggling.

Whats so funny?

Well, its obvious, I an, who doesnt love a love story, and I love love stories? Hot haha!

Youre still being an asshole.

What?

Just look it up.

Without further ado, I swing [Al Capones Tommy] at him.

! / ! / ! / ! / ! / ! / ! / ! / ! / ! / !

The bullets whip toward him with a deafening roar.

The Bloody Clown is a villain and a clear enemy of Corleone.

Thanks to him, [Hitman] Hunter of Villains and [Enforcer] were activated at the sa ti, and my stats had almost doubled.

This ant that each bullet flew with more power than usual.

What is this?

The guy who was trying to block the attack with an expression that suggested it was because it was a gun in my hand, but when he saw Tommys trigger finger being pulled, he quickly opened his palm as if miming in anger.

The plaza echoed with the sound of falling shells.

After a monts grinding, I unclench my finger from the end of the trigger, and he swallows a ragged breath, steadying himself.

The corner of his mouth twitches as he looks up.

Mi.

Mi, a defensive skill he learned after escaping Niflheim.

It was one of his abilities that allowed him to pretend that there was a wall in front of him, creating an imaginary wall.

It was dangerous! It was dangerous-it was dangerous! What a dangerous thing youre holding, a gun that shoots cannons!

On top of that, Mi is a deceptive ability that reduces the damage of ranged attacks by 70%, which is extrely annoying for soone like .

Im not sure I can take him out with a gun yet, so Ill have to get into lee with him.

Youve beco a nuisance.

As I holstered my gun and put on my gloves, Bloody Clown looked at curiously and shook his head.

What, are you giving up already?

No. Im going to play it for real.

Huh?

I stomp the ground with my aura-enhanced foot, and my body bounces like a bullet.

Mi!

He unfurls his Mi once more, trying to block my attack but,

Zap!

A cracking sound cos from the air where nothing should be.

I lean in, showing him the smile he loves so much.

What?

The wall is coming down.

Imdiately afterward, with a loud crack, my fist pierces through the Mis wall and heads straight for his head.

What?!

With a loud crack, the fist slams into his abdon, and his body bends into a C-shape, sending him sprawling on the ground, facing backwards.

His body lay in a heap on the ground.

I laughed at the sight and said to him,

Here, get up, I know youre not dead.

Did I get caught?

Youre not going to die from this.

He scrambles to his feet with a yelp at my words.

Unless he was defenseless, a single shock-absorbed attack with Mi was not enough to take him down.

So Ill have to aim for the next one.

The guy asked if I was bothered by the two I had been talking about.

Well, weve t many tis, but this is the first ti weve t in this world.

SoI might as well say sothing like this.

No, Instructor Ji-hyun told what an unremarkable guy you are.

What?

At the ntion of Ji-hyuns na, his face crumbles.

Ji, did you say Ji-hyun?

Yes, Ji-hyun, the one who traveled all the way to the United States to capture you, and now shes my teacher.

What did she say?

Why, you want to know?

The thing about Bloody Clown was that hed put on a playful, cool deanor to make himself seem demanding, but he was surprisingly fiery.

Bringing up old enemies like this was enough to set him off.

Shall we, then?

When I saw the anger in his eyes instead of his initially smiling ones, I decided it was a possibility and turned to him.

Why dont you tell ?

Okay, let start with you, are there any other villains in this place that are more threatening than you, or at least on the sa level?

The guy nods at my question.

Given the nature of Plague and his deanor, I didnt think he was lying.

Then let ask you, what the hell has that bitch Ji-hyun told you about ?

What, thats all you want to know?

because its important to .

He doesnt even use his signature tone, so he must be seething.

Well, its not too hard to answer that.

Whenever the topic of villains cos up, Ji-hyun would tell about them.

Since its a straightforward question, should I tell him the truth?

I extended my middle finger to the guy who was waiting for an answer with a determined look on his face.

She said youre fucking weak, asshole.

That was the pure truth.
