I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 153:

Choi Kang-hyun, Ill be the one to take you down and become number one.

Wow.

This is going to be fun.

Hearing Choi Kang-hyuns words, a smile spreads across Choi Yeons lips.

I think itll be fun.

Me too.

The movements were almost simultaneous.

Double-ended.

Sea wind.

Choi Yeon raises her sword above her head, and Choi Kang-hyun turns the water in his hand into a blade and sends it flying.

As their attacks meet, a shockwave rushes through the air, creating a tremendous gust of wind around them.

He must have learned properly in Busan, huh?

The techniques and movements hes using now look like a second year at the academy.

I didnt think hed be fighting Choi Yeon at such a level already.

Full ship.

Choi Kang-hyun clasped her hands together, and the water scattered on the ground rose up to form a huge ship.

This level of skill in a place with no seawater?

Apparently, his ability can only be triggered in places with water.

Where did he draw all this water from?

Ye Hoham. Did he give it to him?

A treasure that should have belonged to Ye Hoham.

[The Salt Jar]

Its an object that has no use whatsoever, with only the power to turn poisonous water into salt water.

However, in Choi Kang-hyuns hands, it was truly powerful.

Its almost like a dedicated artifact.

The difficulty of obtaining such a subject was unbelievably high.

Choi Kang-hyun got it so things were starting to get exciting.

Fall down as you are.

The huge fleet of seawater ships created by Choi Kang-hyun moved towards her.

At the charge of ships with enormous volume and mass Choi Yeon stoops low and grabs the hilt of her sword in a reverse grip.

Chop.

The ships bend and collapse under the force of her blow.

As the ships collapse and her vision becomes cluttered, she seizes the opportunity and begins to run toward Choi Kang-hyun.

The water around her churns and rises in response to her path.

Choi Kang-hyun stomps his foot, forming a barrier of water in front of him.

Stem the tide.

But Choi Yeon slices through it with ease, raising her sword above her head as if it were a joke.

Arent you disrespecting me too much?

Choi Kang-hyun, who had already prepared a counterattack stance inside the barrier, rushes forward and throws a punch.

Neither of them can back down so the fight goes back and forth for a while.

Choi Yeon dodges the attack by turning her head like a cat dodging a snake but Choi Kang-hyun closes the distance between them.

When she realized she was in his range, she took a step back, trying to keep her distance.

I cant get away.

The snake seized the opportunity and attacked her.

There was another fist this time aimed at her head but she ducked her head to the left to avoid it, however a stream of water from Choi Kang-hyuns hand hit her in the eye.

Boom!

Choi Yeon squeezes her eyes shut as her vision is momentarily blocked but Choi Kang-hyun doesnt miss the opportunity to kick her in the face. However it wasnt enough to penetrate her defenses.

Rolling to avoid his attack, Choi Yeon swung her sword at Choi Kang-hyuns arm.

The sword slashed at his arm but he blocked it with both hands as if its nothing.

-Boom!

Sparks fly between his arm and the sword.

Is that really the sound of human arms and swords touching?

When I was questioning the scene, Choi Yeon spoke first.

The man from Busan, his body and mind are like steel.

Ah, thats it.

He learned his skills from one of Ye Hohams disciples.

You cant beat me with a sword.

As if to say, you cant cut steel, so you cant win.

To this, Choi Yeon closed her eyes as if it were no big deal and smiled.

Steel is not enough.

What?

-Geek. Giggle. Giggle.

Little by little, her sword begins to dig into his arm as Choi Kang-hyuns arm writhes, blood dripping from it.

Panicked, he immediately gathers the water around him and tries to wrap it around Choi Yeons head, but he cant reach her body, which is already covered in aura so he switches gears and gathers all the water around him to close the distance.

Sea spear.

He creates dozens or even hundreds of spears of seawater on the waters edge at the same time.

It seems to have realized that he cant fight in close quarters and has decided to fight from a distance.

It wasnt a bad plan. As a melee-oriented fighter, a barrage of magic from out of range would be an eye-opener.

The only problem is that shes a speed swordswoman, which is the fastest of the swordsmen, and the sword shes holding is no ordinary sword.

You cant run anymore.

Choi Yeon lunged forward, trying to seize the advantage.

However, at that moment, Choi Yeon froze.

She looked down and saw that the water around her was already ankle-deep.

The magical seawater grabbed Choi Yeons ankles, slowing her down.

Did you use your head?

I clap my hands, looking down at them from a comfortable position.

But it cant end here. Right?

Im in awe of his skill, but only in the creativity department.

Would he be able to pull this off?

The answer came quickly.

She rises to the surface of the water in a very natural way and splashes her whole body.

She broke the surface in a way that reminded me of a ninja from an anime.

It wasnt that strange, considering that Choi Seon-ho was jumping through the air with only a single leaf to step on, but it was clear that Choi Kang-hyun was quite surprised.

So, ordinary techniques wont work?

Choi Yeon shook her head.

No, because the aura on the foot requires constant concentration so it worked a little bit.

You mean a little bit.

Yeah.

Well, it doesnt matter. Youre not the only one who created this field in the first place.

After saying that, Choi Kang-hyun lightly stomped his foot, and a pillar of water rose in the distance.

-Ahhhhh!

-How did you know!

All of the creatures that had been hiding in various parts of the Han River Park are suddenly summoned or revealed by the sudden attack.

And

I didnt think youd hit me.

Choi Yeon twisted sideways as she felt the magic beneath her feet, and a pillar of water rose from where she was standing.

Honestly, I was kind of hiding, werent I?

Well, theres no way they would have missed the second-place title hovering over my head.

Uh, Eugene, hi.

Meanwhile, Choi Yeon was greeting me as if she didnt realize I was close.

How could she be so focused on the fight that she didnt see this shiny title?

It was so like her, I thought.

Choi Yeon, lets take out the runner-up then well decide whos on top.

Isnt it for nothing that the community is saying things like, Doesnt your IQ increase by about 30 points when you fight Choi Kang-hyun?

But Choi Yeon shakes her head and raises her sword.

No.

What?

Im going to take you all down anyway.

Hearing her words, Choi Kang-hyun was shocked.

I just realized how little I knew about Choi Yeons personality so I didnt expect that we would end up in such a confrontation.

Youre trying to set me up like this by messing with me?

I was going to take my time and just watch, but I couldnt stay still if I was attacked first.

Lets clear the area first.

[Activate Skill: Aura Sonar]

I scanned the area once before engaging in a three-way battle, and the locations of the hiding rats began to appear one by one.

There were three of them left, not including the three of us.

Anyone want to take a shotgun blast? Ill give you a chance to get out of the field on your own two feet.

I spread the fear by infusing the Ancient Berserker Ring with aura, and one by one, the hiding people began to run towards the magnetic field.

-Run!

-Hic!

Of course, there were some who stayed behind to fight to the end, but.

Bang! Bang!

The ones who had been casting shitty spells up to this point were barely holding on.

In front of a great bargaining tool, they had no choice but to leave.

Alright, so there are only three of us left. How about we start right away?

Choi Yeon nods as we briefly warm up before the intense battle ahead.

Yeah.

At the same time, she charges at me, swinging her sword.

I was expecting it, but I didnt expect her to charge at me right away.

Grrrrrrr!

I wrapped the Midas gloves with aura and blocked her sword.

The red aura and the blue aura created a repulsive force to push each other away, sparking colorful sparks.

I thought it was a gap.

As if I dont know you.

Apparently, shed forgotten that we both were taught together.

When you see an opening, you have to take it, dont you think?

I agree. Talking about being cowardly in the real world only makes you sound like a loser.

Im a fast learner, after all. Im doing exactly what the elders said yesterday.

But that doesnt mean you cant take your eye off the ball.

This is not a one-on-one, but a three-way battle.

Behind her, Choi Kang-hyun, who has water in both hands, rushes in and tries to take advantage of Choi Yeons weakness.

She quickly ducks and twists her waist to attack from behind.

But

I got you, huh?

I point the muzzle of the shotgun at her back, my finger on the trigger.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

That way I can f*ck both of them at once.

Quang!

With a tremendous momentum that seemed to sweep away everything around, the shots hit the two of them.

It was not an ordinary attack, but an attack unleashed with Aura powered by my bloodline ability.

As if to prove its destructive power, Choi Kang-hyun, who was already exhausted from his battle with Choi Yeon, was sent back with a look of horror on his face, and Choi Yeon, who had tried to evade it, was sent flying away by the impact.

In that brief moment, she had the judgment to turn her body to the side, reducing the landing range and releasing the aura to reduce the damage.

She was an astonishing creature.

Choi Yeon slowly stood up, using her sword as a cane.

Eugene, youre dead.

Youve heard your grandfather say that talking about cowardice in combat is only an excuse for a loser. Besides, youre the one who tried to ambush me, right?

.

Arguing was one of the things I was best at and her lack of words meant she was a no-go for me.

Can you fight more with that body?

Even if shed dodged the bullet, shed taken a good shot from Billy the Kids shotgun following her fight with Choi Kang-hyun.

Im not sure if shes actually injured her leg or if her body is off-balance.

Yeah. I can do more.

As if this was no big deal she nods and points her sword at me once more.

Again, I knew shed do that.

And it wasnt completely unfounded, either. I would have done that, too.

Chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-ch.

Little by little, I can see her body starting to recover.

The healing powers of the Illusory Saint Sword, the new sword she showed me yesterday, were beginning to kick in.

Well, well have to make this quick, wont we?

I was confident in sustained combat, but I didnt want to drag it out against a woman who got stronger the more she fought.

Choi Yeon.

I call her name and begin stacking aura in my right hand.

Ill take the number 1 spot this time.

If you can.

Her sword begins to glow blue but I had no intention of prolonging the fight.

[Bloodline Ability: Corleone controls Midas Gloves]

A black aura begins to emerge from Midas gloves, which have now taken the form of red knuckles.

Two ends.

She swings her sword toward me.

In my world, I would have allowed the attack to continue, looking for a counter.

[Triggers Black Sword]!

I wasnt playing around either so I activated Black Sword and dodged the attack, then slammed my fist into her body as hard as I could.

Hmph-!

At the same time, a bright blue light fills the surroundings.

[Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!]

[This concludes the midterm evaluation of the first year]
