I Become a Mafia in the Academy - Chapter 564
The Academy’s Mafia – Chapter 564
The Academy’s Mafia Chapter 564
A man wearing a paper bag.
No, even to the naked eye, the man who was obviously Emoji sat down behind us naturally after finishing his order.
No, South Korea. What the heck is going on?
Is it okay for an S-class villain to walk around in the middle of the city like that?
My body froze without me realizing it at the sudden appearance of the guy.
In the first place, since the guy doesn’t know that Magical Log=Eugene Han Kalione, I shouldn’t react like this, but…
‘Rather, wouldn’t it be more dangerous if he doesn’t recognize me?’
If I get involved with him going berserk, things will get annoying.
The opponent is a villain. An S-class at that.
It means he’s a real capable person who can fire off fraudulent magic like Meteor and be fine.
It’s burdensome to deal with him when I have nothing.
Why the heck is he here? And of all places, here?
For now, I decided to calm down and learn more about this situation.
[Me: Emoji. I’m Magical Log.]
I immediately sent Emoji a text message through my smart lens with Magical Log’s account.
[Emoji: (๑° grave°๑)‼✧ Oh? Magical Log-nim messaged me first? What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you were going on a short vacation?]
As expected, the guy who replies to my contact immediately.
[Me: I have something I want to ask you before that. Where are you now?]
[Emoji: Right now? I’m at a café near my house?]
…Huh? Near your house?
Come to think of it, I remembered that there was a hideout for the Emoji family called Smile Pub near here.
By any chance, was his house nearby?
[Emoji: (address) It’s here. Do you want to come if it’s nearby? The Ssanghwacha here is delicious!]
Judging from what he said, it seems he really came to drink Ssanghwacha.
I let out a sigh of relief thinking that it was fortunate.
“……Boss. Did you see that?”
“Yeah?”
“That guy is…”
Jinwoo swallowed his saliva and spoke in a voice that the other kids couldn’t hear, sending anxious glances as he glanced at Emoji.
…Jinwoo Vibalt. The guy who usually has the best senses among our Familia members.
By any chance, did he notice Emoji?
“……He’s drinking Ssanghwatang! Am I right? I looked it up on the internet and it says that the Ssanghwatang here is really famous?”
Bam──!
“Eek!”
I smacked the back of Jinwoo’s head right away.
“Why did you hit me!”
“Because you deserved it.”
“What did I do!”
“It’s just because.”
Anyway, I got nervous for nothing because of that guy.
But…
──! ──! ──! ──!
Why is the table shaking like this?
When I raised my head, I saw Seoa calming Choyeon down.
“Choyeon, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“……It’s dangerous.”
“What is?”
“……The man behind us. If he wanted to, he could kill everyone here.”
“Huh?”
It seems he really noticed it this time.
Choyeon is a battle maniac character who can gauge the strength of her opponent right away based on her setting. Emoji was caught on her radar.
Even without me who can sense the opponent’s fear, anyone could clearly tell her condition just by looking at her expression.
Choyeon, she was panicking right now.
Then, Michaela also quietly put her hand in her pocket. She must have also gauged Emoji after hearing Choyeon’s words.
“……I will stop him if necessary. Everyone else, prepare to run away.”
Michaela mutters while holding Yoanna, who she had transformed into a rosary form, in her hand.
Everyone turns their heads towards us with tense expressions at the sudden situation.
However, I gave everyone a relaxed expression, telling them not to worry.
It’s natural for me who knows Emoji’s true identity and personality.
“Calm down. It doesn’t look like he’ll bother us, seeing that he’s drinking Ssanghwacha in a place like this.”
The kids nod at my words. It meant that they trusted my judgment for now.
“Michaela. Check on Choyeon’s condition.”
“I will cast a few buffs on her.”
“……Sorry.”
Choyeon’s expression becomes noticeably more relaxed after receiving the fear immunity buff from Michaela.
While I was sending a reply to Emoji, the expression on Choiyeon’s face visibly relaxed after receiving Mikaela’s fear-immunity buff. In the academy, they taught us the basics about him, which meant that he was dangerous.
[Emoji : Oh dear. Does that mean I won’t be able to see you today? That’s too bad. This was your one chance to see Emoji’s special For going out make up! (›´─`‹ )]
……Is wearing a paper bag over one’s head considered For going out make up?
Those who couldn’t sense Emoji’s strength probably thought of him as just a hero in a funny costume, but knowing his true identity and power, I couldn’t help but think of him as a pervert.
However, to the children, it seemed that his ridiculous outfit made his strength even more fearsome.
‘Thinking about it that way, all the eccentric looks of the old masters were probably meant for the same reason.’
By wearing fashion that couldn’t be understood by the eyes or the mind, they could create illusions for their opponents, instilling in them a fear of the unknown.
Just then, Emoji, who had been sitting in his seat, stood up with his hands in his pockets.
Tension filled the air around the table.
He slowly walked towards us from his seat.
At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but I could feel his gaze fixed on us.
Why? Why is he coming over here?
Mikaela’s grip on her rosary tightened.
It was probably so that she could counterattack immediately in case something happened suddenly.
Finally, Emoji stopped in front of our table.
He lifted his head, and a text bubble appeared above his head.
[You don’t have to be so scared? I just came over to say hello since it seems like there are some famous people gathered here. (。O ⩊ O。)]
Everyone stared at him, stunned by his unexpected words.
“……I realized you were a villain a long time ago. What do you want?”
For the time being, I pretended not to know him and asked him in a sharp voice.
Then, he spread his arms wide as if to reassure us.
[I don’t want anything in particular? I already know who everyone here is, so you don’t think I’d do anything to you, do you?]
“What?”
Jinwoo was the one who reacted to those words.
[It’s true that I’m pretty strong, but I wouldn’t dare touch a paladin from the Order of the Inquisition, the successor to the Sky Sword Pavilion, or someone related to the Callion family. ƪ( ˘ ⌣˘ )ʃ]
……He already knew who we were.
And the person related to the Callion family that he’s talking about is probably me.
The kids would just think he was talking about Jinwoo though.
“Then why did you come?”
To my question, Emoji crossed his arms and shook his body.
[I just came to say hello? Especially to the successor of the Sky Sword Pavilion over there. It seems like you were pretty scared because of me, so I wanted to apologize. I’m really sorry if I caused you any harm. ( ᴗ_ᴗ̩̩)]
The kids were all taken aback by him suddenly bowing his head and apologizing.
He quickly raised his head at that sight.
[Well then! I’ve apologized, and everyone’s finished their Ssanghwatang, so I’ll be going before my Declaration goes off.]
……Is he really just going to leave like this?
[Oh, and the student with the yellow hair?]
Jinwoo, who was startled by Emoji’s sudden call, raised his head. Emoji gave him a thumbs up.
[As expected, this is a Ssanghwacha. Hmm. I didn’t think students would eat it. ಠ‿↼]
And then, he disappeared without a trace.
The atmosphere only calmed down after we heard the sound of the door and saw Emoji completely leave the cafe.
The others besides us probably didn’t notice a thing.
That just now, there had been a living disaster here.
“Boss…… That was. An S-rank villain. Emoji, right?”
Jinwoo immediately deduced his identity, since he was a villain that Jinwoo remembered as well.
“I’ve seen him on TV. He’s a villain who’s been hanging around with Magical Log lately…… And a high-ranking member of the Villain Alliance.”
“We learned about him at the academy too. We learn about the key figures of the Villain Alliance separately during Villain Studies.”
The other kids nodded at Sera’s words.
“Even the other children nodded at Sera’s words.”
“Because Emoji’s true spirit was fully directed at the Magical Log that I contacted after a long time.”
The group learns that Emoji’s true identity is an S-class villain and is relieved. Emoji is surprised by the Familia Club’s abilities, especially Eugene’s calmness. Emoji realizes that Eugene is the heir to the Calione family. Emoji is concerned about the presence of someone related to the Calione family, but for now is more interested in the Magical Log than the mystery of Michaela’s existence.
Even the academy informed us about him, which meant he was dangerous.
In fact, I also experienced how strong he was in Niflheim.
“Still, I’m glad it went well… Michaela. You can relax now.”
“……Yes.”
Alessia’s hand, which had been tightly gripping Joanna, slowly relaxed and opened.
The excited sweat visible inside. It was a sign of how much pressure the recent events had put on the others.
I clapped my hands to lighten the mood and focus the children’s attention.
“Now, now, everyone’s okay, right? So first of all, everyone calm down, and let’s proceed with the schedule we were going to do today.”
Jinwoo raised his voice to match my words.
“Oh, right. You said there was a lot to do today? What are we doing today, boss?”
“What are we doing? Just some club-related activities like usual. And… we’re going to play.”
“Huh?”
“Play?”
“Boss. Are you serious? Not training, but playing for real?”
“……Eugene. Does it hurt?”
“Play? Sparring?”
How the hell did these guys see me normally?
Of course, most of the time when I called them on weekends, it was for training or something related to a request… Hmm. That’s all they were.
“I’m the type of person who plays properly when I play, you know? So don’t worry and just follow me for now.”
I was sure that the kids would like this mission quite a bit.
“So, boss. Where are we going?”
“The hospital.”
“The hospital? Why the hospital all of a sudden?”
Why, oh why?
“Didn’t we recently put a senior in the hospital? He’s still hospitalized, and since we have a promising priest here, we should go visit him.”
I planned to give him a proper warning once more.
*; ;*; ;*
Emoji left the cafe with a smirk and headed towards the alley where his hideout was located.
‘It’s interesting. I never thought I’d see the academy’s Familia, who I’ve only heard rumors about, in a place like this.’
In fact, the existence of the academy’s club, ‘Familia’, had been known to the Villain Association for a long time.
After all, the fact that the terrorism against the academy had been stopped by the ‘Familia Club’ had been confirmed through internal investigations.
‘Still, it’s unexpected.’
Emoji remembered Choiyeon’s reaction.
To gauge the difference in strength just by looking at him, what a great talent he has.
Being able to compare the strength of one’s opponent to one’s own was a great blessing in the Awakened world.
At the very least, it meant that he could tell when his own life was in danger.
The reactions of the others were the same.
Didn’t they all get scared as soon as they realized his true identity?
Among them, there was one who didn’t tremble. He was as calm as if he had met a friend he hadn’t seen in a long time.
‘Eugene Han Calione. The heir to the Calione family and the son of Vito Calione….’
Is blood really thicker than water? I never thought he would be so indifferent, even after seeing me.
It was something that Emoji couldn’t have imagined.
He had intended to play a little naughty trick like a villain, but he had ended up being embarrassed and had to leave in a hurry.
[Still, the future of the Hero Association in this land is bright. （=´∇｀=）]
Oh, the future is going to be fun.
Children who are only in their first year are already at that level, so it’s clear that they will make a name for themselves in the world as they grow.
Of course, the fact that one of them. No, two of them are related to the Calione family is a bit of a flaw.
[But why is that woman here…?]
Of all the people there, she was the strongest, and she would have attacked him if she had moved.
Emoji tilted his head as he thought of Michaela.
The leader of the Vatican’s 0 Knights. That alone was enough to pique Emoji’s interest, but….
[Well, it’s not important right now. Hmm, this is far away… Where in the world did Magical Log-nim say he was taking a vacation?]
That was all.
Emoji’s true mind was completely focused on the Magical Log that had contacted her after a long time.
