I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 255

"Come."

I'd only spoken the word, and yet a prickling sensation rose from my skin, as if to tell me to flee.

A shiver ran through my body.

All I could think about at that moment was.

Do I really want to run here?

My instinctive reaction was to hesitate, but on the other hand, it was proof that the old man was taking my attack seriously.

That meant that I would have to put my best foot forward.

"Seriously, I don't care if you get hurt," I called out.

As I looked at him, the smile wiped off his face and his expression serious, I was determined to deliver the best blow I could.

If Kwak Chun-sik's Solitary Youth was a technique that formed a dense tree, my Blue Sky Force was a technique that formed a lightning bolt that struck a single point and spread out in the surrounding area.

It may be inferior in area of effect, but its destructive power is more powerful than that of Solitary Youth.

To further amplify its destructive power, it can be used in conjunction with the Black Mist skill "Dark Thunder".

Here we go."

In an instant, my peripheral vision stretched and my speed increased dramatically.

Crack!!!

The sound of lightning striking rings out, and the black thunderbolts and red Aura lightning that had wounded even Parnello begin to intermingle.

"Hooo?"

At that moment, a bolt of black lightning rushed forward as the attack finally reached the old man.

He raises his aura-clad right arm to block the kick, but a bundle of aura spreading like an electric current rushes toward him.

"Stop."

As if time had stopped, the red lightning bolts solidify in the air before his words, not wavering an inch.

"You have indeed brought a curious technique, Eugene."

Defended?

No, this was nothing of the sort.

In that short time, he had completely taken control of the aura itself.

It was a technique that was only possible for him, the so-called Aura Master, not anyone else.

However, the kick I sent at him now was not just an aura, but a kick that contained the electricity of the Black Mist.

Even though the Aura lightning bolt was blocked, the lightning bolt from the Black Mist was still effective.

Tsupit!

Of course, he was also covered in aura, so I could only manage a small cut on his cheek.

OkayI wanted to stop it without causing any damage as much as possible.

I feel it again, you are truly amazing.

Do you know that now, you bastard? And, what do you think they feel when you see the expressions on their faces?

As he says this, he glances behind him.

There were the elders of the Martial Hall staring at the place with their jaws hanging open.

Hmm.. a bit unruly?

"The viciousness of this technique, so similar yet so different from the Poisonous Blade, the way it stalks its enemies, plunging down, burrowing into their bodies and burning them from the inside out, it's soridiculous."

He spun my captured Aura around and around on his fingertips as he spoke, and then he threw it to the ground.

Then he walks over to me and puts his hand on top of my head with a pop.

"Very good, indeed."

And for the first time in a long time, I felt someone stroke my hair.

"The shaping of Aura is to follow its form and nature, but your skill in controlling lightning, which is always fierce and rampaging, shows that you have a great talent for Aura Control, and no one can doubt your ability. I would certainly give you a pass, but what is the opinion of our elders?"

He turns his head to ask, and the First Elder, the one closest to him, steps forward and bows.

"Yes, Big Brother. The elders have put their heads together, and the result is unanimous: yes."

"Really? Unanimous? Does this mean that Eugenes position as an Elder is confirmed?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hahahahaha, I see!"

He moved the hand on my head to my shoulder, patted it, and began to smile brightly as if it were his own work.

At the same time, a system window appeared in front of my eyes.

Hidden Quest Completed!

"Yes, Eugene, it's a happy day, so let's laugh even louder, hahahahahahahaha!"

"Hahah! Hahahahaha!"

Yes. Although there was no adversity, no hardship, no fierce struggle, this is also my blessing after all.

Do I say this for nothing?

Laugh, and the whole world will laugh with you. Cry, and you will be the only one crying.

So laugh now!

"Ugh. I don't want to get up."

That was my first thought as soon as I opened my eyes in bed.

I never understood the children's feelings when they said they didn't want to go to the academy in the messenger before, but on the first day of school, I couldn't help but feel this way.

At the same time, I heard Parnello's voice outside.

-Master, we're going to the academy today

"I know, I'm up."

My return to the academy was quite a big event even within the mansion, and the people had been working hard since yesterday.

From washing and ironing the already clean cadet uniforms one more time, to trimming my hair because I needed to trim it before going to the academy, toyesterday was a real mess.

"What the hell is the first day of school?"

I dragged my heavy body and got ready for the academy.

By the time I'm done showering and dressed in my tight cadet uniform, Alessia comes by and sets my hair. Afterward, I head to the dining hall where my father is waiting for me.

"Welcome."

As always, my father is seated at the head of the table, reading a newspaper.

To his left, Jiyun was sitting, looking at me with sparkling eyes.

"Brother, are you going to the academy today?"

"Yes. Since the vacation is over, I should go meet my friends."

"Hing."

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiyun.

When I was home alone with no other plans, I usually spent my time playing with Jiyun.

"You don't have to be so sad because I'll play with you a lot on my days off from the academy."

"Is that true?"

"Of course."

I stroke Jiyun's head and sit down across from her.

At the same time, food began to be placed on the table one by one.

My father picked up his cutlery and we started eating breakfast.

By the way, I should tell him thatright?

Most of what I talked to my father about at the dinner table was about my life as Eugene, unless it was about the organization, so he liked listening to my stories while eating.

"Well, Dad."

"What is it?"

So when I would call on him first, as I do now, he would always give me an interesting look and a smile that said he was intrigued.

I have no idea what his reaction will be this time.

"You know the Aura Order headquartered in the Budokan building?"

"Ah, the place where the elder Kwak Chun-sik is the grand master. Why are you talking about it all of a sudden?"

"I've become an elder there."

"Phew!"

My father, who was rinsing his mouth with water, heard me and quickly covered his mouth.

Droplets of water leaked out between his palms.

"Ew. Papa."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Dad wipes his mouth and hands with a handkerchief they hastily brought.

"Hmph. So, you've become an elder in the Aura Order?"

"Yes."

"You?"

"Yes."

"That ispuzzling, an elder at your age. Did he arrange that?"

"Yes. Apparently, he said that although I am his direct student, I am not directly part of the dojo, so he appointed me to this honorary position."

"" Elder.

This was a title created using the Chinese character for zero, .

The reason I became Elder Zero instead of Seventh Elder is because my current position is an honorary one.

This meant that I had relatively more freedom than other elders.

"Hmmyou must be quite powerful."

I've certainly used my powerto eat up the position of Elder', one of the highest in the order, like this.

And he cut off two of them.

"The prestige of the Aura Order in Korea, and indeed the world, is great, and that will be of great benefit to you. But with rights come responsibilities. You're expected to do the bare minimum."

"I will keep that in mind."

I also entrusted him with the antler of the East Sea Dragon King.

After the Elder Examination, when I brought it out in a private session with him, he was incredibly surprised.

Where did you get such a precious thing, huh? Do you have another teacher besides me?

After I briefly told him what had happened in the East Sea, he understood the whole situation and took a good look at the antler.

"This antler has more condensed energy than a dragon's antler, especially more electric energy than water energy. A normal dragon king would have more water energy. How is that possible.?

I wondered if it was because I hunted the dragon king with the Blue Sky Force.

The conclusion is that it's impossible to consume it right now.

I learned that it's normal to take an elixir that is full of electric energy with other elixirs to neutralize it, so I decided to take it with other elixirs.

I was disappointed that I couldn't consume it right away because it could be life-threatening, but I was also excited.

It meant I could gain that much power if the conditions were right.

Oh, and my new technical name is now officially listed in the Aura Order.

"Hey, is your electricity black or blue?

Thats not it

Call it Black Sky Force, it's cooler.

Don't tell me, is the blue power meant for old people?

"Shut up, asshole!

That's how it became the Black Sky Force.

I didn't feel that the name was unfairly taken away from me, but I also thought it was weird to see a black lightning bolt and call it the Black Sky Force, so I couldn't help it.

As I drove to the academy, I felt a strange sensation.

I felt like I was back to normal.

A tickle in the center of my chest.

What is this, this feeling?

When I finally arrived, the academy resembled a bustling marketplace on the first day of school.

Familiar buildings, familiar hallways.

And as I open the familiar door, I see familiar faces and hear familiar voices.

"Ah! Boss!"

Yeah. Jin-woo was usually the first to spot me and he usually says something that deserves a punch.

"Did you hear? The head of the recipe development club's WeTube, its a mess."

"What?"Visit n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

"Why is it a mess?

I'm supposed to ask her to cook me some elixirs.
