I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 129:

Ms. Choi, you shouldnt be using your trapeze there, just pure arm strength!

Like this?

Okay, more, more, one more set there!

Yes!

Leaving the two of them, who were already having a good time, I sat down on the couch in the spare room and went through the materials that Se-ah had organized and sent me.

Just then, Jin-woo walks up to me with his smartphone in hand.

Boss, I found something interesting.

Something interesting?

With that, Jin-woo shows me the screen of his phone.

There was a post in the community.

[Title: Wasnt it the cursed clubhouse?]

[Author: chick discriminator]

[There have been many ghosts in clubs since ancient times so I thought it was all bullshit, but I swear I saw it at dawn yesterday. A slightly clothed skeleton? Thats what it looked like, but I almost lost my shit because it fucking jumped away as soon as I made eye contact. lol]

[ : Eh? Isnt that a skeleton? Id be all over it if I hit it with a stick].

[chick differentiator: Is that a skeleton wearing clothes and doing the moonwalk?]

[ : Thats not a skeleton, thats not a skeleton]

[ :]

[Chick differentiator : no thats not a real grotesque].

[: Where does it spring from?]

[chick differential: I saw it in the basement around 1:00]

[ : Moonwalk skeletons are kinda scary yeah.]

[Sister: Club hall?]

Moonwalking skeletons?

Isnt it ridiculous? What kind of ghosts are there in the world these days, ghosts, even a moonwalking skeleton.

Thats right, a ghost.

Eh?! Youve got to be kidding me, Bo, boss.

No, thats a real ghost. There are also necromancers, so how could there not be ghosts?

Oh. Right.

In a world with spirits, dragons, and elves, how could there not be ghosts?

Of course there were ghosts in this world.

But why on earth would a ghost be running around underground doing the moonwalk?

Well?

I wanted to tell him the details, but unfortunately, I couldnt tell him why, as it was a secret operation.

In the first place, the skeletons wandering underground were a phenomenon created by me and Julie.

Now, because of this, the clergy seniors are saying theyre going to hold an exorcism ceremony.

According to Jin-woo, the Platinum Clubs Exorcists, a group of clerics who dont tolerate the presence of the undead in the clubhouse, were scouring the clubhouse.

As planned.

Whats going on with those guys, who are usually so quiet with their prayers and worship?

I dont know, maybe theyre fascinated by the dancing skeleton.

Actually, they werent.

Dancing skeletons were funny in writing, and everyone took it as a gag, but it was no laughing matter to the priests who practiced exorcism for a living, because it meant one thing.

Demons.

And not just any demon, but a demon of a higher order.

Their next move was obvious.

Theyll be guarding the clubhouse all day for the time being.

Why? Who cares about dancing skeletons?

To tell the truth, it had to be a big deal.

As far as I knew, in this world, the Dancing Skull was a ritual required to summon one of the Great Demons.

Of course, the moonwalk Id requested had no meaning whatsoever, so it had no value as a ritual.

Still, they couldnt ignore the anomaly.

So the night shift at the clubhouse is now staffed by members of the Platinum Club, who are neutral, faithful, and unwilling to succumb to evil.

This way, even the most accomplished thieves wont be able to roam the halls unchecked, including the Student Council, of course.

The idea was simple.

[Julie: Junior, it looks like they are planning to break into your club somehow]

I received an urgent call from Julie last night.

It was pretty predictable since unlike an audit, a search warrant cannot be issued by the student council alone.

Especially since theres not much they can do about it unless theres some hard evidence.

But that doesnt mean they are going to give it up.

Then the choice is simple, Im going to take it away without them even realizing it.

So I devised a plan, Operation Necrodancer.

Using the ritual of summoning a great demon to introduce a neutral force that the student council couldnt touch and it wasnt just Jin-woo who could see that the plan was working.

[Julie: Junior, did you really hear that the Exorcist kids made a move?]

[Julie: Our president is just laughing at the absurdity of it all]

[Julie: It looks like theyve given up on sneaking in at night, huh?]

Well, its good to have an inside person.

If it werent for her, I would have trusted the clubs security and allowed them to break in.

Of course, it wouldnt have been a big deal if they did it, but this was a battle of egos.

If the mafia loses the momentum and atmosphere, they get eaten.

And honestly, it sucks, right?

So I decided to use this opportunity to show how scary religious people are.

[Me: Senior, today the skeleton dance party will be in the garden.]

[Julie: Huh? Why there?]

[Me: Because thats where the student council president made the elixir, and I thought if we hit them with a bang, theyd be too busy to pay attention to us.]

[Julie : It shouldnt be hard, Ill give it a try]

[Me: Thank you]

The community was in an uproar again.

[Title : Was it Halloween yesterday?]

[Author: ]

[(Photo of skeletons dancing and playing.jpg) No what is this, Im a dormitory student and I went out for a night walk and saw this and got scared shitlessbut its not scary because of the situation, its just funnyno, this is the academy, its a party place]

[ : Its a legend, really Isnt that just a necromancer prank?]

[ : What kind of crazy person throws a skeleton dance party in a garden for a prank ]

[ : lol]]

[chick discriminator : eh? Why is the one I saw in the basement mixed in there lol]

The community was full with discussions about the skeletons garden party.

When we headed to the garden at lunchtime to check out the aftermath of the incident, we were greeted with an alarming scene.

We need to cleanse this land now!!! Satan!! The devil is coming!

Stop them!!! Catch them all and put them in the brig!

There was a scuffle between members of the Exorcists and students who appear to have been hired by the Student Council.

Just by making the skeletons dance at dawn, we had succeeded in making the religious group and the student council enemies.

The exorcists are scary.

Se-ah, who was watching the spectacle next to me, shudders and mumbles.

CertainlyI didnt expect it to work this well.

Purify! Purify! Exorcists! Purify this polluted land!

Crazies! Theres nothing here!

The sight of the struggling student council gives me a sense of relief.

Hopefully this will distract them for a while.

For the time being, I dont think I need to worry too much.

Today happened to be the day that Jin-woo, Young-jae, and Choi Yeon left for the mentoring class so Se-ah and I were the only ones left at the academy, so I thought about not doing any club activity today and going home to rest early.

-What about this evening?

You mean this evening?

-Yes. My schedule just happened to be free today. As the old saying goes, it would be nice to see you today.

The world didnt want to let me rest.

Or rather, I might see something Ive been looking forward to, so thats a plus, isnt it?

I think Ill just have to ask.

-Yes? Well, just ask and let me know.

Yes dad.

I turn my back to the parking lot and head for the faculty office.

Since he joined the academy as an instructor, Kwak Chun-sik should be there as well.

Hes probably busy organizing the results of the recent measurements, so be careful

Master?

Oh. Eugene. What are you doing instead of going home?

I ran into Kwak Chun-sik, who was about to leave the office and was carrying a briefcase.

I heard that all the instructors have been busy this week organizing the measurement results, are you going home?

No, but they begged me to leave first, so Im on my way.

Kwak Chun-sik clicks his tongue in disapproval.

Obviously, with a senior like Kwak Chun-sik around, its not going to go well.

I could see how the rest of the instructors felt.

Thats fortunate, Mr. Kwak. Are you free this evening?

What? Why all of a sudden?

As he tilted his head as if unsure of my intentions, I spoke in a cautious voice.

Well, my father said hed like to take you to dinner tonight.

Huh? What do you mean, boy, wait a minute.

Saying that, he put his hand in his inside pocket.

Lets see, I found the schedule. Its today, so thankfully Im free this evening.

Thats great, would you like to come with me now?

Sure, sure, lets do it. Did you bring your car?

Yes. Its waiting for us in the parking lot right now.

With that, Kwak and Chun-sik head to the parking lot and I call father again.

Dad, he said its okay, so were going to take my car.

-Yes? Then lets do it. I should get ready to see the old man for the first time in a long time. Hehe!

Father laughs and hangs up the phone, as if hes looking forward to meeting Kwak Chun-sik and Kwak Chun-siks face is also smiling in anticipation.

I feel uneasy for some reason.

When we arrived at the parking lot, Han Seo-Joon, who had already gotten out of the car, bows to us.

Ive just been briefed, sir, and its an honor to host a Korean hero.

Okay, take care of me. By the way, Yoo Jin-ah, do you usually drive around in a monster like this? How many would survive if you hit them with all your might?

Looking at the sedan I usually ride, Kwak Chun-sik mumbled something in a tone that I couldnt tell if he was serious or joking so I returned the favor.

Father is quite worried about me, so if you can say that, it must be really safe.

Of course. Even the president wouldnt drive a car like this! Haha!

I open the back door and let Kwak Chun-sik in first, then I get in next.

Nice seats, nice smell. Mmm~ very nice.

Im glad you like it. By the way, old man, this.

Huh? Ah, thats right.

Kwak Chun-sik looks at the pink bracelet I handed him and reacts as if he had forgotten about it.

That one, just take it.

Yes, didnt you say this is borrowed?

Its a borrowed one, butmy disciple said that hes wearing it well, so the original owner said to just keep it. The bracelet isnt my style, so just wear it.

Its not my style either.

I feel like Im being taken advantage of.

But its called a Great Awakening Suppressor or a magic restraint bracelet, so its pretty rare and valuable.

I carefully placed it back into the cube, deciding to keep it for now in case I needed to use it someday.

Thank you, then.

Yeah, yeah. By the way, the Corleone mansionif I go this time, itll be the first time since Ive been a member of the Heros Association, which makes my heart skip a beat, haha!

Yeah, I didnt think Id actually see it either.

Vito Corleone Red Aura and Kwak Chun-sik Blue Aura.

Ah, my heart is already starting to pound in my chest.
