I Become a Mafia in the Academy Chapter 76:

In the end, the whole day was less about the Aura formula and more about shaping and molding aura in daily life.

Old man, dont you think it would be better if you taught the ins and outs of the Aura formula rather than this?

If you learned it now, your body would explode and you would die. Would you still learn it?

Is that how we move here?

Yes. Thats how you move there.

Apparently, my aura is still unruly and self-propagating, so if I try to move it according to the Aura formula, Ill explode.

In that case, Ill have to use.

Old man. If you could get out of Silver Town a little faster, would you co out?

Huh? What do you an?

Kwak Chun-sik looked puzzled by my sudden question.

I was wondering if you could co out of Silver Town.

Ha, would that be so easy?

Kwak Chun-sik waved his hand in the air as if it was ridiculous.

Even the Associations bastards turned a blind eye to killing a villain at first. Thats because Ive done all the hard work. But at so point, the governnt, not the Association, started pressuring . They say villains have a right to a trial. Of course, thats not the only reason they sent here.

As I suspected, the governnts reason for sending him to Silver Town was to keep the Associations growing power in check.

The Associations existence was a force beyond the militarys reach for the governnt.

The presidential assassination mission that went along with it was pretty fun.

I almost ended up in Niflheim, but the children of the Association petitioned for to co here. But how can I get out of here?

It was a standard answer but the world doesnt work that way.

I gave him a grin.

I dont see why not.

what?

Have you forgotten who I am?

One of the things that allows Corleone to operate more than any other organization in South Korea is that it is so well-connected.

In fact, when weve taken down the Blunt family or caused trouble in the Gunsan abandoned factory complex, not a single one of us has had a problem with it, let alone appear in the news.

Theres no way I can get any help from you, Ill just grow old and die here.

Well, you cant go into your study and not see pictures of your granddaughter everywhere.

Then where do you expect to go after I get out of here? It was the governnt that sent into exile to keep the Association in check, and you think theyre going to let go back to the Association?

Well, if thats what hes worried about, no problem.

Isnt there one other place besides the Association that would take you in?

What?

I smirked and blurted out the words I had prepared.

You can co to the Academy. Retired heroes teach young heroes for the future of our country. Its a good picture and a good cause.

This was my ploy.

The Academy is an organization that is neither the Association nor the governnt.

If Kwak Chun-sik were to leave Silver Town and teach at the Academy, they would have no reason to oppose him.

They cant stop a forr legendary hero from teaching.

Its in keeping with their values of respecting the free will of the Awakened. And it would go against their entire raison dtre, which is to actively support the developnt and protection of superhumans.

Besides, it wouldnt be a bad thing for them.

They were afraid of Kwak Chun-sik because they were worried that he would take control of the Association and wage war against them, but what if he didnt go to the Association and take a teaching position at the Academy?

The Academys staff, instructors, and students would be able to keep him under surveillance.

At that mont, a hint of hesitation flashed across Kwak Chun-siks face.

The most important thing is that you will be able to see your granddaughter every day.

Granddaughter? You an Ziyu?

Was the granddaughters na Kwak Ziyu?

Anyway,

Yes. I heard that the Seoul Hero Academy is going to open an elentary and kindergarten this year. Its only been talked about among the upper faculty, but Im sure its true. Andyour granddaughter has also awakened, hasnt she?

Its a chance to see the granddaughter he misses so much at the Academy.

Indeed, would he want to pass up such an opportunity if it were about his granddaughter?

If you were to beco an instructor at the Academy, you would certainly be able to see your granddaughter whenever you wanted. Besides.

I smirked and prepared to deliver the final blow.

Wouldnt it be a wonderful opportunity to show your granddaughter what its like to be a teacher of superhumans? Imagine your granddaughter bragging to everyone that her grandfather is a teacher here.

I can see the corners of his mouth slowly turning up.

It was almost a tipping point.

Wait, I need to think about it.

Was it the thought of leaving Silver Town after all these years? Maybe he needs to take his ti but I already know the ending of this story.

In the end, he wont be able to help it.

Is that so?

Yes. Ill try to organize my thoughts. By the way, you can call it a day.

What? You an now?

The only thing youve done so far is learn the art of manipulating aura.

Alright, for now, practice until you can create a simple model without the bracelet. Once you can do that, well move on to the next step.

With that, Kwak Chun-sik waved his hand and gradually disappeared from my sight without looking back.

Its good that he was so enthusiastic about my suggestion, but its a sha I have no ti left.

While thinking about how to use the remaining ti.

Ah.

I glanced at the screen of my smartphone, where I had left the GPS window open before coming here, and had an idea.

Wasnt there a wild ginseng field around here?

Sure enough, there was an event in the ga where you had a certain probability of stumbling upon a ginseng field while traveling around Gangwon Province.

On top of that, there was a setting in the world where the wild ginseng that was transford by the magical waves generated by the dungeon beca a species called magical ginseng and had the sa efficacy as an elixir.

Okay, Kwak Chun-siks personality wouldnt allow him to go digging for such a thing, so it must still be there.

Well, I guess I can go ho a little later.

This was a good ti to figure out how to repay the gifts I received from the other family bosses.

Magic Ginseng is great for elixirs, but its also great for stamina and food.

I summoned the [Otherworldly Warehouse], changed my clothes, and headed to where the dungeon used to be.

According to the gas settings, there should be a wild ginseng field nearby.

Alright, lets go find it.

Dungeons occur randomly in the ga, except for mandatory events, so naturally the location of the enchanted ginseng that they affect isnt fixed from play to play.

This ans theyre usually hard to find.

However,

[Activate Skill: Aura Sonar].

Now I had a skill that made it easy.

The bracelet makes it a little harder to spread my aura over a large area, but Im getting used to it slowly.

Oh.

I began to feel the aura in front of being affected by the mana.

Its a different sensation than Ive ever felt before.

Until I put on the bracelet, I could only grasp the shape, but this ti I could feel the flow of mana.

It was quite a strange feeling.

After retrieving the aura, I take slow steps, feeling like Im climbing a mountain.

The air is fresh and at so point, however, I began to sll the scent of mana in the air.

I slowly look around and see a cluster of grasses with red berries.

Found it.

With a smile on my face, I walk into the center of the ginseng field and look around.

Everywhere I look, I see the highest quality wild ginseng with bright red fruits.

I count about 30 roots, enough to eat and give away as gifts.

Though I dont know how old each one is, thats sothing Ill have to find out later.

Lets get ready, then.

I straighten up and look around.

Its ti to prepare the One plus One.

With all these elixirs around, theres bound to be so creatures guarding this area.

He must have realized that I had entered his territory, and he would soon appear.

Its here.

I can feel the ground rumbling in the distance.

Trees cracking and falling, flocks of birds soaring through the sky.

!!!

It was a giant bear, snorting and emitting blue magic energy that had smashed through the trees.

How much magic ginseng did he eat to be able to emit magic power just by breathing?

A half-moon bear that consud magic ginseng.

It was clear that he had also beco an elixir that contained considerable magic power.

Anyway, this bracelet has made feel stiff, so lets play with it.

* * *

After returning ho, the results of consuming the magic ginseng were beyond my imagination.

First of all, the auras operation, which was awkward because of the bracelet, beca a little more flexible.

I tried operating the aura without the bracelet, just in case, and found that the aura moved more violently than usual.

It was probably related to the boost I had gotten from eating the enchanted ginseng.

I tried another root, just in case, but it only made feel better. There was no significant change.

I wasnt too disappointed, as its a fact in this world that you dont get much benefit from eating the sa herb twice.

The highlight of the day was the half-moon bear who had eaten the magical ginseng.

[Na: Enchanted Half-Moon Bears Gallbladder]

[Rank: Rare]

[Type: Elixir]

[Description: The gallbladder of a half-moon bear who consud the oldest magical mountain ginseng and was transford into a spirit. It cannot be ingested at this ti and must be processed to be effective]

An elixir ingredient that can only be consud by processing.

The ingredient itself has a rare ranking, so I was already excited to see how great the elixir would be after processing.

Who should I trust to process the elixir?

I thought of all the famous apothecaries in the ga and tried to make a list.

-~

The smartphone on my bed started ringing.

Its now 9pm.

Is there anyone who would contact at this ti?

With that thought in mind, I walked over and checked my phone, and the na of the recipient popped up.

[Kim Se-ah]

Se-ah?

Was there any reason for Se-ah to call at this hour?

I pulled the call button and answered the call.

Hello?

[Mr. Eugene.]

Unlike her usual cheerful voice, Se-ahs voice was very shaky, as if she was scared.

The feeling was strange.

Whats going on?

[I that that hmph! sothingwrong with .]

Wrong? What do you an?

[He just said he has all the evidenceand witnessesand I dont know whats what.]

Evidence? Witnesses? What the hell are you talking about.?

Where are you?

[Im! Im at the police station..]

Apparently, shes in trouble.
