I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 13:

After finishing my conversation with Jin-Woo, I returned home, checking my stats and weapons to prepare for tomorrows event.

Theres a knock on the door, and I can feel someone outside.

Eugene, may I come in?

It was my fathers voice.

I didnt understand why hed come at this hour, but I wasnt about to say no, like a middle schooler going through puberty.

Yes, its okay.

Once I got over my embarrassment at the sudden turn of events of my fathers visit, I replied to him and sat up neatly on the bed.

Okay. Ill come in then.

With a cigar in his mouth and a black overcoat and fedora hat on his head, he walked into the room.

From the way he was dressed, it was clear that he was about to go out somewhere.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes. Ive been informed that weve found a hideout where the remnants of the Blunts are hiding.

With a shrug and a look of resignation, he sits down in the chair on the other side of the bed.

The Outer Area is a place where the government is virtually unable to reach due to its past. As such, the security of the place was practically maintained by the Corleone family.

You must be busy.

Of course. The Outer Area is beyond the reach of the government, so even your father has to work hard.

He smiled and stroked my hair but the feel of his hard, rough hands on my head was not a pleasant sensation.

You met the heir to the Bevalt family today, didnt you? I had heard that Antonios son attended the Academy, but apparently hes the same class as you.

The report had gone straight to my father, after all, and I nodded, casually dismissing his hand and looking sheepish.

Yes, thats what happened. I also had a duel today.

My fathers eyes widened at my words.

Ho-ho, yes, and what was the result?

The duel ended less than three seconds after I pulled the trigger, and it was too easy, so much so that instructor Ji-hyun said she wanted to see me fight without my weapon next time.

Hahaha, thats just like Ji-hyun.

Speaking of Ji-hyun, I decided to ask my dad what he thought about the academy.

Idad, may I ask what your relationship is with Lee Ji-hyun, she calls you uncle.

Huh? You mean her? Well, if youre asking what our relationship is, she had a few run-ins with me before she started teaching at the academy, so we have a bit of a connection.

Ah.

She bumped into my father during her active duty days.

I knew from the game that Ji-hyun had taken down many criminals in the past as a hero, but I had no idea that he had also bumped into my father.

Antonios son lost in three seconds, so you must have gotten something good, Eugene.

My father said with a kind smile.

Apparently, he had heard from Parnello, and he knew about my unique weapon.

Yes, I was lucky.

Speaking of luck, getting what you want is also a skill. You should be proud of yourself.

The artifact [Al Capones Tommy] is the holy grail of the mafia.

Its no wonder he was so fond of it, because I, his son, got it.

Well, its a possible reaction because to my dad, [Al Capones Tommy] is a toy.

But dad, why are you in my room?

Oh, thats right. I have something for you.

With that, he fumbled in his pocket and handed it to me.

Youve cleaned up the Blunt family, and if youve done a good job, so you deserve a reward.

With that, he pulled out an ordinary-looking colorful cube.

Is this ?

You cant carry that heavy gun every day, so Ive prepared a subspace artifact for you. Do you like it?

A subspace artifact.

I thought Id seen this design before, but it was one of those inventory items Id seen in games.

Each square of that cube is about 1 cubic meter of space, so youll have a total of 6.4 cubic meters of space to work with.

As soon as the cube touches my hand, information about how to use it starts to enter my brain and a 64-compartment inventory flashes before my eyes.

As a test, I pick up the pillow next to me and put it into the inventory, and it slides in, taking up eight spaces.

What do you think?

Father looks at me with a smile, curious about my reaction.

Yes, I reallyreally like it.

Haha, right? Apparently, its adjustable in size, so you should wear it around your neck.

With that, he handed me the cube and a necklace that appeared to be a set.

Apparently, the cube was to be reduced in size and attached to the end of the necklace.

Thank you.

Yeah, it makes me feel good that you like it.

My smartphone vibrated as the items information had arrived.

Huh? Did you receive a text from your friend?

Yeah, I think so.

Then another vibration is heard but this time, the source was not my phone, but my fathers pocket.

Looks likethey contacted me, too, so I should probably get going.

With that, he walked toward the door.

Have a safe trip.

Okay, thanks.

With that, he walked out of the room while I pulled out my phone from its face down position and checked the newly arrived alarm.

[New item acquired!]

[Name: Four-Dimensional Cube]

[Rank: Artifact]

[Type: Item]

[Description: A subspace artifact made by the artisans of the Cube. There are 64 compartments in total, with 10 cm of space per compartment, for a total of 6.4 m of subspace to hold things.

An option has been added to resize the cube to suit the users convenience.]

I wonder ifwas also from the Cube Workshop.

Cube was the name of a workshop that produced high-end brands that appeared several times in the game.

Its like a luxury brand.

If it was a product of the Cube Workshop, it would be quite expensive, and even subspace artifacts were said to be difficult to obtain no matter how much money you had, so I couldnt imagine how much it would have cost.

Well, with my fathers name and Corleones wealth, it wouldnt have been a huge expense.

As it turned out, I had gotten something that I really needed.

So, as I was checking my inventory, putting Al Capones Tommy and other miscellaneous items into it, there was another knock at the door.

Its Han Seo-joon. May I come in?

It was Han Seo-Joon, who had paged my father before he came into the room, and he was waiting for my father to leave.

Sure. Come in.

As I finished organizing the cube and pointed to the outside, Han Seo-joon carefully opened the door and entered the room.

As soon as I saw his face, I told him the reason I called him here.

Han Seo-joon. I need the power of the secretariat.

You mean the secretarys office?

Yes, Kim Se-ah and Kim Young-je, who are in my class, and Ji-hyun. Use the power of the secretarys office to gather information on the three of them and report back to me. The deadline is by tomorrow morning. Can you do it?

If you use the secretarys unilaterally, Don will.

Im the heir to the Corleone family right now. I should have the right to use the secretarys office.

Ill report to youby tomorrow.

Okay, please.

At my words, Han Seo-joon bows his head and walks out the door.

He was originally an insider planted inside Corleone by the National Intelligence Service.

Ordinarily, I would have informed my father of his identity and let him handle it himself, but I decided it would be more beneficial to keep him by my side, watch over him, and slowly tame him into one of my own.

He was the key card that would later give me access to the National Intelligence Service.

Of course, that would be in the distant future.

Boss~ Youre here.

When I arrived at the Hero Academy, Jin-woo, who had arrived first, waved at me in a friendly manner.

Cant you just say hello quietly?

Huh? Why?

Why?

If I concentrated hard enough, I could hear the chatter around me.

That asshole just called Eugene his boss, didnt he?

Did he decide to become his subordinate after losing in the duel yesterday?

Something bad was being said back and forth.

I think you should tone down the loudness of calling me boss.

Really? Well, its just a matter of lowering my voice So, are you ready to start recruiting for the club?

Hearing Jin-woos words, I recalled what happened this morning.

Kim Se-ah and Kim Young-jaes character books had been updated after receiving information from the secretariat.

The ability to receive information from outside sources was a very useful skill in a situation like this.

Of course.

Thats good, then. What about the advisor?

Huh?

A club advisor, an instructor who will advise the clubs. Are you trying to start a club among the students?

If you want an advisor, you can ask Instructor Ji-hyun.

Hey, you think shell advise the club because shes crazy?

As if my answer was ridiculous, Jin-woo waved his hand and said so.

Even though Ive only seen her for two days, Ms. Ji-hyun Ive seen isnt the kind of person who would do something like that.

Really?

A normal person might think so.

In fact, I had thought of all sorts of ways to convince Ji-hyun, but didnt think it was necessary to elaborate on them right now.

First of all, I have a morning meeting, so well do it at lunch. As for Instructor Ji-hyunIll take care of it.

Really? I wont stop you if the boss says so, but. Oh, is there anything I can do to help?

You just need to stay still.

Really? Thats great.

He replies and goes back to his desk. When I was finally alone, I turned on my phone and flipped through the Personality Book.

As I was organizing the information in my head, trying to figure out how to approach them using the information from the intelligence agency and the Personality Book, the front door of the classroom opened and Instructor Ji-Hyun Jang entered, smiling brightly.

Well, its certainly a small class, so its easy to keep track of numbers, so shall we begin our third day at the Academy?

I feel uneasy about something.
