Chapter 98

I became a mafia in the academy, Chapter 98

In the past, I had seen such a post on a community.

[Title: Calf flying away in the typhoon on Jeju Island.gif]

[Sorry, I just wanted to show you this. Calione, Changcheon Sword Family, and the National Police Agency, is the alliance level for real? It's really an alliance of the strongest in the world. No, I bombed the academy right after starting the game, and these crazy guys suddenly formed an alliance and found me to kill me? Hahaha. No, I wondered why, and it turned out that the ones caught in my bombing were Calione's Chae-yeon and Yu-jin, and even Jeong Ui-hoon. Damn, I was just curious to see what would happen if I killed the main characters, but they blocked it like this hahaha.]

[Hotdog Cold Dog: Is this guy crazy? Why did he blow up the academy?]

[Someone: Is he crazy? Hahaha, he didn't even form a villain alliance, why did he blow it up from the start? Hahaha]

[Someone: I tried it after seeing this, but instead of an alliance, Gyeonseon came alone and killed me.]

[└Cooking King Assassination King: Hahaha, why did you follow that? Hahaha]

[Someone: So, where's the calf gif?]

I couldn't believe it when I saw this post.

No matter what, it's hard to imagine those three forming an alliance. Is it even possible in reality?

I, too, tried everything from bombing to stealing and detonating nuclear warheads right from the start, but those guys never formed an alliance.

But...

"We will contact you separately from our side later."

"I'll be waiting."

Gyeonseon and Consigliere shaking hands.

Is this really the group that used to glare at each other, trying to devour each other during exams?

I never thought it would actually happen.

"Doesn't it seem like things went well?"

After the adults' conversation ended, the empty track.

Still in a daze, unable to process the reality, Chae-yeon, who was standing next to me, said:

"Yeah, it seems to have gone well, but... my head still can't keep up."

"Really? Your grandfather and your father seemed to get along well."

"Are you serious?"

They were sparking so much on the opening day, and you really thought they got along?

Well, there's a saying that fighting brings people closer, so it's not completely incomprehensible...

"Difficult."

"Yep. Difficult."

First, it seems the urgent fire has been put out, and since the situation ended well, we should probably return to the academy.

* * *

When Chae-yeon and I returned to the academy, it seemed most of the situation had been resolved, and there were no students gathered on the field.

"Did everyone go home?"

"Surely, they weren't sent home right away."

Checking my messages just in case, I saw a message from Young-je in the club chat.

[Young-je: President. Everyone is in their classes now, so just come to your class. ㅇㅇ]

"Seems like everyone is back in their classes. We should go to our class too."

"Our class?"

She tilted her head.

I didn't understand why the students were gathered in their classes either, but...

What can we do?

We are students of the academy.

"Let's split up and go to our respective classes. If there's anything to say, I'll contact you later."

"Do you have my number?"

"Didn't we exchange numbers last time?"

"Oh, right."

I've felt this from the beginning, but... this guy has a bit of a naive side.

Well, that's probably why she's popular.

"Then, I'll go first."

"Okay. See you later."

After we split up and I arrived at Class A,

"Here you are? The hero of the academy, Han Yu-jin."

I saw Ji-soo-hyun looking at me with a smile.

"......What's this? Suddenly looking worried."

"This guy... Try being a teacher. How would you feel if you suddenly heard that someone had left the academy?"

"Oh, that's why."

...Yeah, I can see why you'd be worried.

I feel a bit bad about that.

But there was something more important.

It was a necessary sacrifice.

"Anyway, I heard from the other kids about what happened inside. You and the Familia kids, and Chae-yeon, you subdued all the main culprits and cleared the dungeon, right?"

Already reported that far?

Since it wasn't wrong, I nodded.

"Yes. Were the villains arrested?"

"Thanks to you. They're currently in the academy's prison with restraints on, and they'll be handed over to the association when they arrive."

"......That's a relief."

They'll probably return to Niflheim, but to a more restricted area than where they were originally.

"And... now that the situation is mostly resolved, there are things that need to be done."

"Things to do?"

I didn't understand what she meant.

Suddenly, Ji-soo-hyun bowed to me.

"Thank you."

"......What?"

My brain circuits momentarily froze at her sudden expression of gratitude.

She continued.

"Thanks to you, we were able to resolve this quickly without any casualties. I can't speak for the entire academy, but on behalf of Class A, I'm really grateful."

At the same time, the sound of chairs being dragged from the back could be heard.

"Vice President, thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thanks to you. Thank you."

Looking back, I saw the kids expressing their gratitude to me.

...This is embarrassing.

Fortunately, Ji-soo-hyun quickly straightened up and smiled.

"You, you're embarrassed."

"......Did you do this on purpose?"

"I'm glad it ended here. Do you know how shocked I was when I heard from the other kids that you fought a miner one-on-one without any preparation?"

...I had to. Oh, you'd say, "He knows how to get stronger, right?"

"You, your expression is a bit off."

"......It's just my imagination."

Anyway, the feeling is disgustingly good.

"Anyway, all the kids in our class are grateful to you. And... the president also wants to express his gratitude."

"The president?"

Nodding at my question, Ji-soo-hyun said:

"Because you won first place in the 'Class Ranking Competition' last time, and the other kids said you were the main person who resolved this situation. The president's message is that he wants to meet you in person this time."

...I remember, in the Class Ranking Competition, there was something about a special gift from the president if you won.

"Right now?"

"He said to tell you as soon as you returned. Anyway, if you don't go to the president's office, you'll just be waiting here. The government issued a directive to keep the students in the classroom for post-terror measures and investigations."

...I wondered why the kids didn't go home and came back to the classroom. So that was the reason.

Then, it would be better to go meet the president rather than waste time in the classroom.

"Can I go to the president's office right away?"

"Yes, I'll contact them, so just walk slowly."

"Understood."

After bowing to Ji-soo-hyun, I immediately headed out.

The academy's corridors were still in disarray due to the aftermath of the terror.

Thanks to the game's characteristics, I knew the way to the president's office by heart, so it wasn't difficult to find.

Arriving at the president's office, I naturally knocked and spoke.

"I'm Han Yu-jin from Class A, 1st year."

After a moment, a deep voice came from inside.

[Yes, please come in.]

Opening the door, I saw an elderly man with a kind smile.

This man is the president of Seoul Hero Academy.

[<Character Codex> has a new entry!]

<Character Codex (N)>

[Name: Heo Seok-gi]

[Affiliation: Republic of Korea, Hero Association, Seoul Hero Academy]

[Age: 54]

[Special Skills: Sniping, Concealment, Magic]

[Description: Once known as the Silent One, the best sniper in the Republic of Korea. Currently, he serves as the president of Seoul Hero Academy after retiring from active duty.]

Though he looks very gentle on the outside, he is far from it.

Silent One.

A name given because those hit by his arrows die instantly without a word. He has killed hundreds of Awakened with his hands, and the number of monsters is countless.

"Nice to meet you in person, Han Yu-jin. I'm Heo Seok-gi."

And of course, he knows my true identity.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Han Yu-jin."

Closing the door and bowing, the president stood up with a chuckle.

"Hehe, please sit down. Do you know why I called you, Yu-jin?"

"Yes, for winning first place in the Class Ranking Competition and... for stopping the recent terror attack."

The president nodded and smiled.

"That's right. I should formally express my gratitude. Thank you for protecting our academy, Yu-jin."

Bowing as if it was natural, the president lowered his head.

"......It was just doing my duty."

"Modesty as well. As the president, I'm really proud."

Raising his head, the president looked at me with a warm smile.

But for some reason, even though he was smiling, I felt an inexp
