I Become a Mafia in the Academy - Chapter 563
“Trust only me!”
“You mean… that the fact that Kalione and Junior are involved should be kept a secret from everyone, so we should be very careful?”
The Academy’s Mafia – Chapter 563
The Academy’s Mafia Chapter 563
“I’m back.”
“Yes, you’ve worked hard.”
My father, speaking on behalf of the others.
“Your skills… have improved a lot.”
My father, who had been watching the sparring match between me and Michaela, had a satisfied smile on his lips.
Fighting against the leader of the Vatican Knights, who was no ordinary opponent. And even a conditional victory.
Perhaps it was only natural for my father to react like that.
“Thank you.”
I smiled and greeted my father, and my uncle burst out laughing as if he was proud of me.
“Well, if you’re an executive of Kalione, you should be able to do this much. Hahahaha!”
It seemed that my skills were enough for the adults in the family.
Judging by the fact that Parnell didn’t say much either, it seemed that I had passed.
However, all I felt in my heart was regret.
Just a moment ago, my father, who wasn’t wearing any items, was treating Michaela like a child.
My goal is to become one of the strongest in this world, to rule over the darkness of this world.
This reaction was not enough. I still had a long way to go.
“I will not be satisfied with this and will continue to work hard.”
As I bowed my head and answered, the adults nodded their heads.
“Yes, that’s a good attitude. Keep that attitude in the future.”
I could feel the warmth of my father’s palm as he stroked my head. I raised my head again and looked at Michaela standing behind me.
“Well then, Michaela, let’s go.”
“Go out?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to find the Magical Log anyway? You’ve come all the way to Korea, so you should have some fun.”
“What do you mean…?”
I still remember what Michaela said in Italy.
She had never made any real friends because of the environment she grew up in.
That’s why, after much thought and consideration about what would make her happiest when she came to Korea, I came to the conclusion that it would be nice to make her some new friends.
That’s how I came up with the idea.
“I’ll introduce you to my friends.”
I was going to introduce Michaela to my friends.
*; ;*; ;*
Seoul, Jongno-gu.
“This place… Jongno…! It’s certainly different from anywhere else!”
Michaela arrived at the Hanok street, where there were tiled houses and traditional concept cafes everywhere, and her eyes began to sparkle as she looked around.
“The shape of the building is different from anything I’ve ever seen before. And the smell is so fragrant. It’s a beautiful place.”
‘Is it that tidy?’
Honestly, I don’t really know what the appeal is, but foreigners always visit this place at least once.
She took out her smartphone from her pocket and started taking pictures of the street and cafes around her.
Is she trying to brag to her colleagues when she gets back to the Vatican?
Just looking at her, I started to feel like it was worth bringing her to this place.
“I think my colleagues will like it if I post it on my story. Hehe.”
“Huh? Michaela. Do you use SNS too?”
“Of course I do. Junior. Please don’t forget that I’m more MZ than you think.”
When I first saw her, she looked like a believer who didn’t care about the world and lived in a monastery…
Even so, it was true that I had that stereotype, so I just nodded my head without saying anything.
“So, Junior, where are we going?”
“Oh, right over there.”
It was a cafe.
It was a place that Latte, who was an expert in this area, had recommended to me, so the exterior was quite impressive.
The design, which was a tasteful blend of traditional Hanok and modern sleekness, and the spacious size gave it a wonderful exterior that exuded both marginand elegance, even when viewed from the outside.
“Oh… What a wonderful cafe. So, is this where Junior’s friends are waiting?”
I nodded in response to her question.
“Yeah. I think my club friends will be inside. Do you remember the important things I told you?”
Michaela nodded at my question.
“As the fact that Karion and Junior are related is a secret to all, we have to be careful as much as possible… is that what you said?”
“And?”
“Junior and I have a connection that we met at the church in the past, and now I’m briefly staying at Junior’s house… is that correct?”
“That’s right. If possible, don’t forget to speak in Korean and ask me if there are any difficult words.”
Then, as if to say not to worry, Mikaela confidently said, putting both hands on her waist.
“You don’t have to worry. Junior. I’m Mikaela, and as a result of traveling to many countries while working as an Inquisition Officer for heresy, I realized that I have a genius-level talent for languages. I’ll probably be able to talk to Junior’s friends without difficulty.”
“Are you going to call me Junior in front of my friends?”
“I’ll call you Eugene!”
“Okay. Then let’s go.”
After doing a final check, we opened the door to the café and went inside.
As soon as we entered, we could feel the change in the scent that was floating in the air.
The faint smell of medicinal herbs, fragrant tea, and the smell of roasted coffee beans combined to create a scent that seemed to put our minds at ease just by smelling it.
“It smells good.”
“Right? Ah, there they are.”
I could finally see the children gathered in the back.
“Why did you come all the way to a café to drink Ssanghwacha?”
“Isn’t it common to drink Ssanghwachaat a café with a Hanok design like this? Isn’t that right, An kyung?”
“Haha… Isn’t that just a difference in taste?”
“My grandfather also likes Ssanghwacha.”
“Look! Even Choiyeon is saying that!”
“But that’s my grandfather. I like Hazelnut Americano.”
“Are you trying to insult me by saying my taste is like my grandfather’s?!”
“My teacher said that men should drink Ssanghwacha.”
“Look! Kang-hyun is saying that too!”
“But real men drink iced coffee. I don’t think everything my teacher says is right.”
“Kyaaaack!”
As soon as we entered the café, the sound of our children chattering was already the loudest.
I sighed and walked forward.
“Can you guys keep your voices down? No matter how much it’s a café, you’re being too loud.”
“Ah. Sorry── Huh? Boooss!!
Jin-woo, who was tattered after being attacked by the other children, suddenly saw me and started to run towards me.
“Boss! They keep making fun of me for drinking Ssanghwatang, it’s really driving me crazy.”
“I respect personal tastes, but real coffee is espresso. And to come all the way here and drink Ssanghwatang is a bit…”
“Even the boss…! Boohoo!”
The guy who sat down on the floor only after hearing my response.
Mikaela, who was quietly watching me from behind, quietly came up behind me and whispered in my ear.
“Jun── Eugene. Eugene.”
“Yeah?”
“I just realized that being introduced to new friends is quite embarrassing.”
“Is it?”
It seemed that she was embarrassed to be among the children who were talking freely.
“Well, it’s your first time, so you might feel that way. Hey, Jin-woo. Stop being on the floor and get up and say hello. She’s my friend from another country.”
“Huh? Boss. We have another friend… Huh?”
Jin-woo, who had been making rude remarks, stopped and looked at Mikaela, who was blankly clinging to my back.
Suddenly, the guy jumped up, fixed his hair, and smiled as he reached out his hand.
“It’s nice to meet you, lady. I’m Jin-woo Bivart, the boss’s right-hand man and most trusted subordinate.”
I wondered what he was doing, but it seemed that he didn’t want to show Mikaela an embarrassing appearance.
Mikaela is beautiful, but I never thought he would get up with such a brazen face and greet her even after being sprawled out on the floor…
Jin-woo Bivart, he was still a guy who became infinitely more confident in front of women.
“Jun── Mr. Eugene. What should I say when this happens?”
Mikaela, who had never experienced this before, asked me in embarrassment.
What should I say when this happens? Of course…
“Go away. You’re annoying. That’s what you say.”
“Ah.”
“Listen,everyone!Do youthinkit’sokaytotalktostrangerslikethat?”
“It’sOKwithyou.”
“Boss!That’stoo much!”
Hmm.As expected,Jinwoohasagoodsenseofhumor.
IwantedtolettheMikaelatastesamejoy.
Just then.
“Oh,isthiswhoEugene wastalkingabout?Theone youmetat the churchalongtime ago!Right?”
Sea,whocomesforwardwithasmile.
Leaving the depressed Jinwoo behind, she steps forward and reaches out her hand to Mikael.
“My name is Kim Sea. Welcome to Korea!”
“Ah.Yes.My name is Mikael. Nicetomeetyou.Sister.”
“Oh,youspeakKoreanwell?!”
“I studied hard for today.”
That’s how Mikael started talking to the other kids, starting with Sea.
“My name is Kim Young-jae. I’m the class president in the same class as Eugene.”
“Yes.Nice to meet you. Young-jae.”
“Choi Kang-hyun.”
“Mikaela.”
“Choi Yeon.You.You smell strong. Do you want to spar with me?”
“I’m Mikael. I’d be happy to spar with you. However, now doesn’t seem like a good time, so it would be better to do it next time.”
“Didn’t I greet you first? Jinwoo Vibalt. I’m the boss’s right-hand man.”
“Go away.I’mfeelingbad.”
“What?!”
“Justkidding.My name is Mikael. Nice to meet you.”
I was surprised to see Mikael joking with Jinwoo already.
To make Mikael, who was so shy just a moment ago, joke around.
Is this really Jinwoo’s power? As expected, he definitely has the ability to provoke people.
‘Unexpectedly,she may have the qualities of a tanker….’
“Just as Eugene said, I also ordered two espressos. Is it okay with you, Mikael?”
As everyone finished their greetings and sat down, Sea talked about the menu that had not yet come out.
“Yes.Coffee should always be espresso. It’s common sense in Italy.”
“Italy…!Indeed,foreignersaredifferent!Jinwoo!”
“Why?”
“The buzzer is ringing.Bring me coffee.”
“Tsk…”
Jinwoo, who was sitting at the very end, got up to get coffee, and in the meantime, Mikael had an awkward conversation with the other children.
“How did you come to Korea?”
“I’m on a business trip from the Catholic Church. There are many churches in Korea as well.”
“How did you become friends with Team Leader Eugene?”
“It was a coincidence, but I met him while I was purging heresy overseas.”
“Heresy?”
“……There is. Something like that.”
“When is the match?”
“If you give me your contact information, I’ll call you back and visit you at your house? Your home?”
“Yeah.I’ll give you my number.”
Fortunately, Mikael was able to talk to the children without difficulty.
The children also realized that Mikael’s Korean was awkward, and they spoke slowly to her.
Really…Our children are really kind.
A moment later. Jinwoo and Kang-hyun came with drinks.
Like that, only after drinks were placed in front of each of them did it feel like everyone had gathered properly.
Then, as the leader of this group, I should step forward myself.
“Since everyone is here, I’ll introduce you formally. This is Mikael. She’s a friend I met by chance when I was abroad, and she came to Korea for work this time, and I wanted to introduce her to you.”
At my words, Mikael stands up again and bows her head.
“Nice to meet you.”
Everyone applauded Mikael’s greeting, creating a warm atmosphere.
She seems to have lost some of her initial shyness, as she sits well without bowing her head.
In the meantime, Sea raises her hand.
“Then, Eugene! What are you going to do with Mikael today?”
“Today?Todayis……”
The moment I was about to say that I would spend time with Mikael and go sightseeing.
-Clatter.
The door of the cafe opens.
[What a good smell! As expected, Ssanghwacha is here. (*´∪`)]
A man with a paper bag over his head, showing a speech bubble instead of speaking.
He came in.
…Huh.
…Why is he here?
