I Become a Mafia in the Academy Chapter 86:

Wednesday lunch.

Even though it was lunchti, the children were uncharacteristically slumped, their cheeks glued to their desks.

DuelsIm tired.

Why cant we do club activities on days when we have duels I dont want to do it because once I have duels, Im out of it I just want to eat sweets in the break room.

Its driving crazy listening to their whining back and forth.

I had to get over the fact that I had to participate in duels like this with one main story request left, but it was even crazier to hear the sound of his exhaustion.

Mr. Jin-woo. By the way, where did Mr. Young-jae go?

Young-jae? He didnt co to school today because hes studying with his ntor. He really sucks all the honey by himself.

Hearing Jin-woos words, Se-ah sat up.

ntoring? Right! I had a ntoring class! I need to find my ntor right nowMy ntor is teacher Ji-hyun!!!

Se-ah gets frustrated again.

why didnt you go to your ntors class?

Huh? ?

Jin-woo suddenly jumped up at the sound of Se-ah calling out to him.

I like duels.

What?

At least duels dont hurt, and that crazy womanIll just go to duels.

I couldnt imagine what kind of activities he usually did that made him look like that.

Uh what about Mr. Eugene, you didnt go to any ntor classes this week, did you?

I still hadnt heard from Kwak Chun-sik.

Judging from the missing 1 next to the ssage, he must have read it, but why didnt he reply?

He said he has sothing to think about, but he doesnt get back to .

Aaahtheres a reason for everything, haha, youre going to the duels after all.

When Se-ah muttered that and was about to fall down on the desk again.

[Eugene Han. Student Eugene Han, please co to the academys faculty office, Im relaying this once again. Student Eugene Han.]

Suddenly, a broadcast calling for echoed in the classroom.

Boss. Did you get into an accident?

Dont think Im you.

Ive never been in an accident!

I ignored Jin-woos protests and stood up from my seat.

A call from the staff room, has anything happened lately that warrants a call?

Hmm.

Its hard to guess with so many things going on.

Before I know it, Im in front of the faculty office. I open the door and step inside, and all eyes are on .

Why are they all looking at like this?

Huh?

Sohow, I recognized soone who shouldnt be here.

you?

Why is he in the academys staff room when he should still be in Gangwon Province?

Disciple, long ti no see.

Kwak Chun-sik giggled, probably because my panicked face was so funny.

Elder, what are you doing here.

You asked to co, didnt you, and Ive been organizing and dealing with things, so Im here now.

I asked him why he hadnt contacted until now, and he said he had been preparing nonstop since that day.

Well, there are a lot of eyes on us, so why dont we go out? Yunho, can I take my disciple out?

He suddenly asks Park Yunho, the first-year teachers leader, if he can take out.

Senior. In the afternoon, the first-year students duel is

Write! Uh-huh!

Senior.

No matter how stern and rigid Mr. Park is, his opponent is Kwak Chun-sik, who has been called the hero of heroes and is like a president.

On top of that, he had trained under Kwak Chun-sik before.

Still, it was the first ti he had ever seen Park Yunho so nervous.

You said that I can miss three tis a week for ntor classes, isnt that enough?

Thats true, but theres no precedent for leaving during class, so

Then we can just make the first case this ti! If I say were going to do it, then do it! Whats the point of arguing?

.

Because the arrow wasnt pointed at , I felt so comfortable.

Soone once told that its so comforting to have an asshole with both power and age on your side.

I was feeling it in real ti.

When your elders tell you that, you know its true, because thats how it was back then. When my seniors told sothing I replied with Yes, senior.

Ah understand, senior.

What?

I think you can take cadet Eugene Han with you, senior.

Right, see?

Ah, yes.

Was Park Yunho the kind of human who could make an expression like that?

He looks like hes at a loss for words, and Ji-hyun is behind him, biting her lip to hold back her laughter.

It was a stark contrast between the two of them.

After following Kwak Chun-sik out of the faculty room, I asked him as he walked ahead toward sowhere.

Sir. Where are we going?

My house.

Your ho?

We need to talk about whats been going on, and there are so things we shouldnt talk about here.

The mood suddenly changed.

I nodded, having a bad premonition about sothing.

Then I have a good place for you.

A good place?

Yes, a place where you wont have to worry about people or sound leaking out.

Hmm, is there such a place? Lets go there.

Sure.

I take the puzzled man with and we head to Familias club room.

Familia is a place I built from the ground up to raise my family.

From the beginning, it was already imprinted with security asures to prevent sound from leaking out. Add to that the fact that my office is magically impenetrable to eavesdropping, and its the perfect place to talk about secrets.

Is this the club hall? Are you planning to go to an empty club room?

Oh, I hadnt told the old man yet.

My clubhouse is here.

Huh? Arent you a freshman?

Thats right.

But the club is No, you have your own club?

Yes.

And youre the president?

Yes.

After hearing all of my answers, the old man let out a chuckle as if he was full of energy.

Heh, I knew you were a smartass, but a guy who just entered the academy has a club? Thats ridiculous.

As you say, I was a bit of a brat.

As a gesture of respect to the old man, I return to the back of the hall and activate the freight elevator.

You have a elevator?

Yes, its one of the prides of our club.

I swipe my card through the card reader and descend into the basent.

Lets go to the presidents office.

What the hell.

Kwak Chun-sik, who was constantly grumbling about sothing, was eagerly looking around.

Thats how the two of us ended up in my office.

After simply placing tea and refreshnts in front of him, I opened my mouth to start talking in earnest.

What the hell happened, Mr. Kwak, I didnt hear from you, and I didnt even know you were coming, so how did you manage to get into Seoul so quickly?

Kwak Chun-sik was a case where instead of going to jail for killing a villain, he ended up in SilverTown.

On top of that, he would have had a hard ti getting out due to the scrutiny of political figures.

Therefore, he would have needed my help or outside help to get out smoothly, and its not easy to understand how he was able to do so.

I guess you could say he got lucky.

Lucky. You an?

Yeah, you know, that space wizard you captured the other day, the one who was supposed to be the new kid on the block. I was listening to your story and gathering my thoughts, when all of a sudden I got a call from the prosecutors office, asking if he really was the new kid on the block.

Wait, a newcor?

Little by little, the pieces started to co together.

I cant believe this is how I saved Kim Se-ahs life.

With Se-ah out of the picture, the spotlight was on Shin Chul-Gwimol, and the attention turned to Kwak Chun-sik, who was said to have caught Shin Chul-Gwimol.

They said that Shin Chul-Gwimol brought villains to Korea, those prisoners who were on the news. Do you have any idea?

They offered you a deal?

Yeah, thats it. Theyve been secretly asking to make a deal with them, to help them find a villain infiltrating Korea.

But I dont understand why they had to go so far as to ask you, an old man, there are plenty of heroes in the guilds, including the Association, who can help with the investigation.

In other words, there was no reason for the governnt to single him out.

However, in response to my question, Kwak Chun-sik smiled wryly.

They said theyd give a reward at first, but I have enough money and goods, so I made a deal just like you said last ti.

Thats why it was so easy to pass sothing that might have been rejected for political reasons.

I was hoping it would work out for , and if it didnt, Id think of another way, but it was so much easier than I thought it would be, I wondered if there had been a change of heart in the high and mighty.

Sohow, I felt like I knew why.

Perhaps my father has intervened.

Father? You an, your father?

Yes, although Im not sure.

The other day, my father had asked to have dinner with Mr. Kwak.

My father had been interested in Mr. Kwak ever since.

If so, Corleone, with our obvious political connections, must have heard about Kwak Chun-sik and could have done sothing about it.

Since youre involved in Rate affairsit would be a great boost to our power if you ca forward.

Even if Kwak Chun-sik wont co to Corleone, hes still a useful bulwark.

Plus, it might divert the governnts attention a little bitso it was like killing two birds with one stone.

Well, thats good.

Yeah, and the timing was perfect.

The timing?

Judging by the state of the Association and the governnt, the workforce is extrely scarce, to the point where they need an old man like you.

Hearing my words, Kwak Chun-sik took out his cell phone.

He fiddles with them and puts on a video.

The governnt and the Association contacted this morning, saying they need my help.

Its a short video, about a minute long.

He presses play and the black screen shakes as the bars move.

[~~~]

The video begins to play what appears to be a foreign childrens song.

[Ring around the rosie]

This is.

Do you know this song too?

Ring around the rosie.

One of those foreign mother goose songs, very closely associated with the Black Death that once swept through Europe.

Andoff the top of my head, I can only think of one guy who would put this song in his intro.

Villain Plague.

Hes a walking biohazard weapon who can transmit the disease he carries to others.

One of the worst villains in the ga, with a history of using his powers to wipe out small nations, he was one of the highest ranking mbers of the Villain Alliance.

And.

The main villain of this episode of Terror.

And then, as the eerie voice finished singing, the screen flickered to life with a ssage.

[Despair will land in Korea.]

The ssage can only an one thing.

He declared war on the Republic of Korea.

Yeah, they sent this video to the Association.

And theyre not releasing it to the outside world?

Its the first ti a high-ranking mber of the Villain Alliance has given us such a warning. Theyve decided to keep it under wraps for now because theyre expecting a lot of confusion.

Is this a continuation of the original story?

In the original, the governnts misjudgnt leads to nurous civilian casualties.

A series of nad villains, each with a different personality, take it upon themselves to carry out a multifaceted campaign of destruction.

So have a grudge against the governnt, so against the heroes, so have beco villains to fulfill their own ideas, and so find pleasure in killing weak humans..

What they end up doing is terrorism but they didnt just target governnt organizations.

In that case, what I would do was predetermined.

Hey, old man. Can you send this video file?

Huh? You an this? You cant possibly.

At that mont, Kwak Chun-sik frowned and sent a aningful glance.

Are you thinking of sothing strange?

What a strange idea, this is all for the sake of justice.

I wont be responsible No, Corleone will be.

I know whats coming, and its tis like these that I need to draw on the strength of my family.
