I Become a Mafia in the Academy Chapter 131:

When I say I have a favor to ask, the eyes of my father and the old man turn to .

A favor?

Hehe, from both of us?

The two n look like they didnt expect to ask for a favor from both of them at the sa ti.

Facing them, I smiled brightly and opened my mouth confidently.

I want to go to Jeju Island.

Hmm?

Jeju Island?

Their eyes widen at the ntion of Jeju Island.

No, why would you suddenly want to go to such a dangerous place?

I had expected this reaction, but it was very unfamiliar to , as I knew what Jeju Island was like in the originalga.

Jeju Island

While we know Jeju Island as a vacation spot and a beautiful tourist destination, the aning of Jeju Island in the CS universe can be guessed from its nickna alone.

Devils Island, Outlaws Paradise, Hell Island, and more.

In this world, theres no real reason why Jeju Island is called that.

Its just that Jeju Island experienced a major dungeon break, and in the process, the islands system completely collapsed.

As a result, the island is now a complete lawless zone, completely untouched by the governnt.

Wouldnt it be too dangerous to go to Jeju? Its not easy to get there.

What are you going to do on an island full of rotten people? I know youre young and full of energy, but its not a place where you can go whenever you want, as your father said.

As they said, Jeju Island was not easily accessible.

Not only were there no flights or ships going there, but even the fishern didnt go anywhere near the coast.

But with the help of the two n in front of : Don Vito Corleone, the ruler of the underworld, and Kwak Chun-sik, the hero of the old country, its a different story.

Dad, doesnt our family have a ship sending relief supplies to Jeju Island?

Hmm? There should be, butare you really thinking of going on it?

I think its safer that way.

Apparently, due to its Italian immigrant base, Corleone used to send relief supplies to the only cathedral on Jeju Island every month as part of a donation for its relationship with the Catholic Church.

With this route, entering Jeju Island would not be a problem.

Even if it was a lawless area, they wouldnt want to turn on their only source of relief, the church.

Next up was Kwak Chun-sik.

Elder, dont you have disciples from the Martial Arts Center on Jeju Island?

Huh? There must be so who head there every year for so kind of training.

Well, since Jeju is off the grid, I need sothing to prove it. Can you get a letter of recomndation?

A letter of recomndation?

Yes.

Jeju Island is one of those places that is very wary of outsiders due to the closed nature of the area.

Even in the ga, I cant count the number of tis Ive been attacked for going into Jeju Island and talking to locals for information.

There were many instances where I didnt even have to do anything, they just attacked as soon as I made eye contact with them.

However, its a different story if I get a letter of recomndation from Kwak Chun-sik.

The Awakeners from the Budokan must have been quite a force on Jeju Island, so Im thinking of getting so help from them.

In other words, I want to travel with a package course.

Why do I have to go alone, work myself to the bone, farm, and build a faction to go to Jeju Island?

Why not go with a faction thats already been ford and has a significant amount of power.

Why not?

My father and the elderly man hesitate at my question.

I agree. Youre my student, but youre not a normal academy freshman, so I dont think youll be in much danger if youre traveling with the kids from the martial arts center. However, if you have a problem with that.

Their gazes et in the middle.

You an youre worried.

The identity of the worry is that I am entering the demonic world of Jeju Island alone.

Its not that I dont understand their concern, as its certainly not anyone else, but the heir to the organization and a disciple going to a dangerous place.

But

So I have to ask, why do you want to go to Jeju Island?

My father looks at with serious eyes and asks.

Sohow, I had prepared a total of six reasons to go to Jeju Island.

I decided to use one of them, which was the most appropriate for the current situation.

To reach new heights.

Hmm?

New heights?

The words every man would recognize.

New heights.

What man wouldnt be swayed by those words, and the two n in front of are at the top of their ga.

As they asked to elaborate, I slowly continued my story.

I recently acquired an item, I said, but I need sothing to use it properly, and I heard that its in Jeju Island.

Despite my boldness, they didnt ask what it was or who told about it.

They were showing respect.

So, to get it, I must go to Jeju Island, anddesperately need your help.

The two n who had listened to my story to the end seed to think about sothing in silence, then looked at each other and nodded.

I dont know how any parent could not let him go when hes talking like that.

When a man says hes willing to take a risk to beco stronger, you cant say no to that.

Ill let him go.

Ill let him go.

It was a conclusion both of them ca to because of their characters.

* * *

After my departure to Jeju Island was decided the al continued. Wine and traditional liquor were served alongside the delicious food, and the mood changed.

Well, there he is, crushing a kobold with his hands

You an Eugene?

Thats right, he was just like you when you were younger! I felt it then!

Sure enough, when I first t you, you were holding the head of a minotaur.

Do you know how surprised I was when I saw you crush that hard thing with your bare hands! Hahahaha!

The corners of my mouth twitched up as I watched the two of them reminisce about the past while talking about .

Yes, this is what I was hoping for.

Its like watching a movie where you see heroes from different worlds talking in the sa room.

The first ti I fought you, old man, I was terrified, because you were the first hero who made think I might lose.

You dont think I wasnt surprised, I was just pretending to be okay because the juniors were watching from behind, but I was actually sick and about to be beaten! Hahahahaha!

Really? Hahahaha, I didnt know that.

How many sad thoughts I had in my head.

Things Id never know from the ga.

If you hadnt blocked the dungeon back then, Korea wouldnt exist today.

Didnt you single-handedly stop the dungeons in Seoul back then, too? Im still not up to par with you.

Indeed, back then I wanted to take you on as a disciple sohow.

That would have been unreasonable, but now, hasnt our little Eugene grown up to beco your disciple?

Thats right. A child with your blood and talent has beco my disciple. Isnt that sothing?

I agree. Hahahaha!

For so reason, I feel like its through the two of them.

Did they always have this much chemistry?

Not at all, as I recall.

Father had a respectful relationship with Sword Saint, but they always minded their own business whenever they t.

However his relationship with Kwak Chun-sik seems too good to be true.

HuhThe food was great and the drinks were amazing.

Glad to hear it.

If I had my way, Id invite you to my house, butour location makes that difficult, doesnt it?

Kwak Chun-sik, who wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief prepared on the table, smiled wryly when his father said that.

Yes. Obviously, there are many people watching my movents, so I have to be cautious, but.

Fathers voice trails off as he says that.

I suppose it wouldnt hurt to visit you once in a while when I need a break.

I dont know why hes looking in my direction and smiling, but I smile along with him.

After all, even the head of the mafia needs a break.

Lets hang out later when youre free. Sothing like this, right?

Uh-huh. I guess I should get going then.

Putting down the handkerchief he wiped his mouth with, Kwak Chun-sik stands up and straightens his clothes.

My father and I stand up as well.

Are you going in already? You can stay a while longer.

Its alright. Dont make waste your ti when youre already busy.

Kwak Chun-sik pats on the shoulder after saying that.

Ill give you a letter of recomndation tomorrow at the academy. Have you decided when youll go?

Yes. As far as I know, theres a boat to Jeju Island this week, so I was thinking of going then.

This week? Okay, lets do that. I had a great ti today.

Thank you for saying that.

As we leave the mansion to see off Kwak Chun-sik, a sedan pulls up in front of the mansion.

Tell the man inside where youre going and hell take you there.

Thanks for taking care of . See you later.

I stare at Kwak Chun-sik as the car goes away.

Eugene.

I heard my fathers voice.

Youve t the right person.

Its .

Definitely. It was a precious connection.

You said youre going to Jeju Island this weekend, right? Ill tell Captain Park about it. Butare you sure you want to go alone?

My dad asked in a worried tone, as if he was a little worried about going alone, no matter how much he thought about it.

I shook my head.

The reason I decided to go to Jeju Island is to get stronger, and if it was a risk I couldnt handle on my own, I would have asked father for help first.

Well, thats what I said, but the truth was a little different.

This is , and this is the only way I can do it.

When I go to Jeju Island, I have to go through dungeons and find gimmicks in all sorts of strange ways, but having people with would limit my actions.

Apparently taking this as a sign of resolve, my father nodded and placed a hand on my shoulder.

Yes, do as you wish. But I want you to rember when you go to Jeju Island that you are Corleone.

Of course, father.

He was right, in this world, I was Corleone.
