I Become a Mafia in the Academy Chapter 83:

A Spring?

Choi Yeon looks at the spring in the center of the temple and scratches her head.

Theres a spring even though were underwater?

Its nothing compared to the water above.

Huh?

Vivians spring water.

This is the elixir of elixirs that hes been concocting with such skill and concealnt.

Kneeling down, I slowly brought my hand to the spring, and the item information flashed before my eyes.

[Na: Vivians Spring Water]

[Rank: Semi-Mythical]

[Type: Elixir]

[Description: An elixir made from the artificial Lake Vivian, its potency is very similar to the original. When ingested, it grants a large increase in mana and aura]

Yeah, I guess you could call this one of the endga rewards of the Academy.

Since its marked as an item, it should fit inside the cube.

I slowly moved the spring water to the cube, and the seemingly large amount of spring water shrank to 2L and entered the cube.

The water level was lowered and Choi Yeon looked at the spring with curiosity.

Huh? The water level seems to have dropped a bit.

Its just normal water now. Well, its clean, I suppose, but do you want to drink it?

Not really, Im not thirsty.

Now that I have the elixir, I have to give Choi Yeon a gift for helping get this far.

Wait.

I crouched down and plunged my hand into the spring, feeling sothing catch on my fingertips and pulling it out.

Here, this is for you.

At the sa ti, the items information flashed before my eyes.

[Na: Shard of Excalibur]

[Rank: Semi-Mythical]

[Type: Material]

[Description: A fragnt of the mythical sword Excalibur. Nourished by the waters of Vivians Spring, it is evolving into a replica of the original. When made from the swords materials, it grants divine attributes and greatly increases the swords rank.

*Note: Can only be used by those who have proven themselves]

Its a material item that can only be used to make a sword, so I dont have any use for it, and I cant use it unless it ets certain conditions, such as containing a fragnt of Excalibur.

If I rember correctly, I had to be a swordsman of so sort, and my karma had to be completely tilted in the right direction, right?

If thats the case, I wont be able to use it anyway, so I might as well give it to Choi Yeon who helped with this and make it glow.

Is that a shiny piece of iron?

Choi Yeon looks at the piece of Excalibur Ive handed her in wonder.

It glows even more vigorously than when it was in my hand.

Apparently, shes more suited for it than .

This is a fragnt of the original Excalibur. Ray Pendragon was restoring it here to use as a replica, and it will make a great sword when used in the sword youre making.

Sword material?

As soon as he heard the words sword material, Choi Yeon smirked and stuffed it into her pocket.

Its worth a lot since the student council president was hiding it, so use it afterward. Itll probably make you stronger than you are now.

Will the sword alone make stronger?

Thats how rare it is.

Choi Yeons eyes widened at the thought of getting stronger.

Well, in the ga, she was fine with a much lower-ranked weapon, so it was obvious that she would be stronger if she received a mythical trait.

Is it okay to give sothing like ?

Im giving it to you.

Anyway, the restrictions are tight, and I cant even use it properly if I give it to other guys, let alone , so I should at least use it like this.

Ill Yeah, Ill definitely use it to make a good sword.

Okay, the first period is almost over, so lets get out of here. By the way, dont tell anyone you ca here today.

Yes. Its a secret.

Good.

This is a place he doesnt co to often anyway.

Hes going to go crazy when he finds out later that his stash of elixirs and weapons has been ransacked.

Even just imagining it, I felt a chill run down my spine.

This is real mafia-style revenge.

Because theft is a long-standing Mafia tradition.

* * *

Completely destroying the evidence, even putting the sign back in its place, I exited the garden as if nothing had happened.

Ti-wise, the first period should have just ended.

I walked back to the main building with Choi Yeon, who smiled at the piece of Excalibur in her hand every now and then as we walked in silence, and when I noticed people around us, I looked at her.

There she is, smiling again.

Choi Yeon.

Huh?

She wipes the smile off her face at the sound of her na and looks at .

Well, I dont think anyone will recognize it, but you shouldnt make a big deal out of it. Even if you do, thats a designated treasure in England.

Oh yeah.

A piece of Excalibur from the myth of King Arthur.

The deeper the history of an object, the more important it was, as it had the potential to beco a skillful and powerful unique weapon.

Sotis even worthy of a strategic weapon class.

Now that I think about it, the student council presidenthad the audacity to take such a thing out of the country.

Then Can I tell my grandfather?

If its your grandfatherSword Saint, it shouldnt matter.

Wouldnt it be better to tell Sword Saint?

Apparently, Choi Yeon, doesnt know the value of that thing yet.

If only she could recognize its value and feel indebted to for giving it to her as a gift.

Perhaps then, even those influences who usually look down on Corleone would not touch it so easily.

In any case, you must never show it to anyone at the Academy. Do you understand?

Yeah. I wont.

But you must show it to your grandfather.

Okay.

Okay, were set.

Bye, then. Dont forget about the duel.

With those words, Choi Yeon walked off in the direction of Class C first.

After all, she was still talking about the duel when we parted ways.

You wont forgetwill you?

* * *

Why is it so peaceful these days?

Recently, the number of people applying to the club has increased significantly: from resolving disputes with other clubs to requesting protection.

Perhaps its because the Familias reputation has been spreading through the Academy lately, and our na is slowly gaining credibility.

As a result:

[Main Story: Youve brought a new wind to the Academy! By creating a new club, youve written your own new history! Successfully lead your club to be promoted to a Silver Club!]

[Prerequisite: Complete 5 Club Requests!]

[Number of Requests Completed: 4 / 5]

-Satisfied 2

-Highly Satisfied 2

[*Achievent rewards may change depending on the results]

Finally, there was only one request left before the next step.

Two very satisfied and two satisfiedI guess this is what it ans to change based on results.

So, Im going to have to do my best to make sure that the last one I have left is satisfactory.

The good news is that, unlike the Recipe Developnt Club, the recent requests have been fairly straightforward.

Id like the reward to be an Aura-related ability.

As soone who only knows how to unleash aura and barely control it, Im in desperate need of aura skills.

With that in mind, I tried my hand at controlling aura, sothing Ive gotten into the habit of doing recently.

I created spheres, tetrahedrons, cubes, stars but my aura control is still a bit sloppy, however Ive gotten better at shaping it.

Of course, even this was difficult without the bracelet Kwak Chun-sik gave , but I could tell that I was definitely growing, so its sothing Ive been practicing a lot lately.

By the way, he said hed let know after hed organized his thoughts.

While I was thinking about that, I was fiddling with my aura.

[Mr. Eugene, you have a visitor.]

There was a knock on the door, followed by Se-ahs voice.

Visitor?

If its a client and not a guest.

With that thought in mind, I stood up and walked out of the office.

What do you an, a guest? Is there anyone other than a client who can co toIsheri?

Ah, Mr. Eugene, its been a while!

She was petite and had twin tails with half a bundle on each side.

For so reason, the girl, Isheri, reminded of a puppy.

She stood in front of the door, smiling sheepishly.

Ah, please co in.

Thank you.

She smiled brightly and walked inside, placing the huge box she was carrying in both hands on the table.

My arm would have fallen off if Id held it a little longer.

This?

Ouch. This, you an? Its nothing, just a new recipe I made for the new student welco party thats coming up in a few days. I made it to practice, but I made too much and thought wouldnt it be nice to share? So I brought it over.

With that, she opened the box to reveal a beautifully decorated cupcake.

Cupcakes?

Se-ah swallowed hard, probably because she had already tasted the recipe developnt clubs food.

Yes, theyre supposed to be used for the event, so I made them a little fancier with the help of the bakery club.

Ah, I thought the decorations were more colorful than usual, but did they make it with the bakery club? It looks like they must have gotten a different buff for this.

At that mont, Se-ah, who was standing next to , jumped in place and looked at .

Wow! Mr. Eugene, I can eat it now, right?

She looked like she wanted to eat it right away.

I sighed and handed over the box of cupcakes.

By the sounds of it, Young-jae and Jin-woo were also working out in the training room separately, so I pointed toward the training room and said.

Eat, and give one to everyone in the training room.

Wow! Yes!

As soon as I gave her permission, Se-ah grabbed the box and rushed to the training room.

Isheri could only smile at her reaction.

Thank you for always coming to bring snacks like this.

Eh, co on. Were a family, right? Hehe.

Since her request, Isheri has been bringing food every now and then.

As she said, the people in the Recipe Developnt Club, including her, were already part of the Familia.

By the way, will Familia do things like promote the club at the welco party?

You an at the welco party?

Yes. Youre a freshman and theres no precedent for creating a club before the welco eting, so I was wondering how you did it.

As I thought about it, I realized that the Academys new student welco party was just around the corner.

Its one of the Academys signature events, held at the end of everyones adjustnt to the Academy.

Its an event that allows seniors and juniors to interact with each other while also recruiting kids who havent found a club yet.

I havent heard anything from the academy, so I dont know.

Oh. Thats because I havent seen any clubs that are definitely just for freshn either.

Yes. Thats true, and as you know, its a family affair, so theres not much to show for it.

Ah. Thats true, well, the rcenary clubs and combat clubs dont really promote themselves either, but Eugene is a vice president (here ans the vp of his year), so maybe hell do sothing.

AaahProbably.

Co to think of it, did the vice president and the president give speeches or sothing at the welco party?

As I recall, if Choi Yeon was the president, it was always Cha Seok who spoke on behalf of Choi Yeon, who wasnt very good at speaking.

Is this going to be a jab at again?

While having such anxious thoughts.

[Ji-hyun: You have to take the oath at the welco party as the freshman representative.]

This is crazy

Its really coming.
