I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 36

The mansion of the Calione family, located in the Incheon Foreign Area.

Like the shadows that hide under the sun's light, there were those hiding under the name of Calione in the darkness.

"From now on, we will begin the executive suitability examination of Yoojin Han Calione."

The first conference room located in the Calione mansion.

There, dozens of family bosses who had visited the Calione mansion just for today were gathered.

"Considering that the successor, Yoojin Han Calione, is the subject of the examination, for this occasion only, I, Parnello Ramici, will act as the chairman in place of Vito Calione."

As Ramici tapped the gavel to signal the start of the examination, everyone present began to open the envelopes in front of them and read the contents inside.

"The document in front of you details the activities of 'Yoojin Han Calione' after being designated as the successor, so please refer to it."

As they began to read the contents following Parnello's instructions, various emotions started to burst out among them.

"Hah, so it was the young master who judged Blunte."

"Subduing Blunte alone...? Blood doesn't lie, does it?"

"The evaluation from the execution squad is quite high. Already functioning as one of the executors, huh..."

Amid the mix of admiration and unexpectedness, there was one who was uniquely plunged into confusion.

"The young master is second at the academy? And he founded a club in just one day...?"

Clearly, Antonio Vivaldi, the boss of the Vivaldi family who had come for the examination, could not hide his surprise at the familiar story.

'This... this is the story I heard from my son...!'

His son, Jinwoo Vivaldi, had just enrolled in the academy.

He had sent his son to gain more experience, urging him to take some successor training, as he kept refusing to become a mafia boss.

So what was the story his son always came home and talked about?

'Dad! I met a strange guy?'

'Dad, am I a fool? The sparring ended in one hit as soon as it started? That guy, there's something about him.'

'Dad! I joined a club. What? Which club? I don't know, it's a club made by our boss. No way he'd mess around, right?'

'Why call him boss? Because he beat me...! And, I feel like he's going to pull something off.'

'Our boss's name? Yoojin... was it? I don't know, I can't remember well. I always just call him boss.'

But to think that Yoojin was the successor of the Calione family, 'Yoojin Han Calione'...!

'I thought the name Yoojin was common, but to think that damn guy was under the young master...!'

Of course, Antonio Vivaldi did not hate Yoojin. On the contrary, he rather liked him.

Vito Calione was his longtime friend and boss, and Yoojin, the son of money, was like a nephew to him.

Thus, his emotions were purely of surprise.

Antonio Vivaldi glanced at Parnello, who was serving as the chairman.

Parnello Ramici. There was no way he didn't know these facts.

Their eyes met in the air, and Parnello gave a slight nod and a smile, indicating he would explain everything after it was over.

"Parnello. May I ask one thing?"

One of the people sitting in the conference room raised their hand and asked.

"Yes, of course."

"To be honest, there are parts that are hard to believe, saying the young master did all this alone."

He said so and began to recite the content written on the paper.

"Not long after receiving successor training, he judged the Blunte family as an execution squad member, blocked the Triad's entry, and even succeeded in negotiating with them. Did the young master really accomplish all this without anyone's intervention?"

At his words, several other bosses began to nod in agreement.

The contents written inside were beyond imagination.

Even if we accept the judgment of Blunte, to secure second place at the academy and even establish a club in just one day...

Was the title of being the first at the academy so easily earned?

However.

"Yes, I swear on my name, 'Parnello Ramici,' that all of this was accomplished by the young master's power."

All of it was meaningless in front of the name of the man who had written legends alongside Don Vito Calione.

"...Then I will believe it."

"If Parnello says so, then..."

Parnello's oath was not taken lightly.

He was the most honest, innocent, loyal, and trustworthy man.

That was Parnello Ramici, who had devoted decades to the Calione family.

"It seems your questions have been resolved, which is fortunate."

With this, Yoojin's promotion to executive was practically confirmed.

Even though Yoojin had only recently started working for the organization, the fact that he was the successor and an adult of the Calione family did not change.

It just meant that becoming an executive would be a bit faster.

"By the way, if he's an executive of the Calione family, shouldn't he have a territory to manage? Which territory are you planning to assign to the young master?"

At the question that popped up from elsewhere, Parnello snapped his fingers.

"That's a good question. It's natural to assign a territory when someone becomes an executive. However, the young master has declined to receive a territory."

"The young master declined?"

"Yes. The young master, in other words, wants to obtain only the influence of an executive."

For executives, a territory was as valuable as anything else.

The influence of an executive depended on how much impact their managed territory had on the surrounding areas and how much money it could generate.

"The young master has said he will establish his own territory at the academy."

Therefore, Yoojin decided to create a new territory.

Not overlapping with other bosses of the Calione family, not just inheriting, but establishing a completely new frontier for his family.

"Judging by the expressions, it seems there will be no problem proceeding with the vote immediately."

After observing the expressions of the surrounding bosses, Parnello nodded and picked up the small wooden gavel in front of him.

"Then we will proceed with the vote immediately. Those who agree to the promotion of 'Yoojin Han Calione' to executive, please raise your hands."

At the same time, everyone raised their hands.

'Unanimous.'

All the executives had raised their hands, judging that the young master of the Calione family would not come near their territories.

"It's unanimous. With this, I declare that 'Yoojin Han Calione' is now an executive of the Calione family."

With a smile, Parnello struck the gavel three times.

Thus, Yoojin Han Calione officially became an executive of the Calione family.

"...Has this guy caused trouble again?"

Unaware of this fact, he was sighing while looking at his smartphone.

[[Ranger Club]

One of the few combat-oriented clubs in Bronze, specializing in the task of directly procuring necessary materials for support clubs from their sources.

Due to this, many students who cannot enter advanced clubs join the 'Ranger Club' among the Bronze clubs to gain practical experience for their records.

Familia chat room.

Someone clicked their tongue after checking the information that Seah and Youngje were uploading in real-time.

"Do I look like I'd lose to guys who just join clubs to fill their records? No way."

Inside the booth of the 'Recipe Development Club'.

There, sitting on a chair and looking at his phone, was Jinwoo Vivaldi, with club members cooking in the background.

"Mr. Jinwoo, please try this. Does the seasoning seem right?"

"Freshman, please taste this too."

"My dish is the least spicy, so try mine first!"

"Whoa, ladies. Calm down. My stomach still has plenty of room."

Jinwoo Vivaldi.

He was feeling the greatest happiness of his life at that moment.

"To think someone would try to threaten such a wonderful club... Don't worry, senior sisters. As long as I'm here, they won't be able to do anything."

Following Yoojin's instructions, Jinwoo came to the 'Recipe Development Club'.

For the club, Jinwoo, who had come to protect them, was like a rain during a drought and a future comrade.

Was it because of that? Even though Jinwoo was a freshman who had just entered the academy, the club members found him simply adorable for coming to protect them, being just a first-year student.

Of course, Jinwoo, unaware of this...

'...This is heaven!'

was the only sentiment he felt.

Beautiful women, smiling happily while cooking in aprons.

Moreover, they were all older than him, senior sisters.

And they were even feeding him the food they made themselves.

In the midst of being in a situation at the academy that was nothing short of paradise, he was happily eating the food they gave him.

"Oh, smells good. Are you cooking?"

A man with a bow slung over his back entered the booth with a smile, and the atmosphere in the booth turned cold instantly.

"Who are you? The 'Recipe Development Club' isn't accepting outsiders right now."

Jinwoo frowned and glared at the man in front of him, who had shattered the blissful situation.

The man, looking puzzled at the sudden appearance of a new figure, walked briskly into the booth and stood in front of Jinwoo, tilting his head.

"A freshman? What business does a first-year have here? Don't tell me, are you a new member of the Recipe Development Club?"

"...That's none of your business."

The bow on his back, the outfit that looked good for action, and the machete at his waist.

After examining the man's attire, Jinwoo realized that the person in front of him was from the 'Ranger Club'.

"If you have no business here, leave."

Yoojin's orders were to protect the 'Recipe Development Club'.

With everyone's safety as the priority, Jinwoo tried to resolve the situation with words, suppressing his anger as much as possible while speaking to the man.

But the man smirked at Jinwoo's words.

"Do you think I'll just leave after coming all the way here?"

Saying so, he pointed to the dish Lee Seri was holding.

"Lee Seri. That looks delicious, give me a plate too. Huh? I just came back from hunting in a nearby dungeon and I'm hungry."

As he naturally demanded food as if it were a usual occurrence, Jinwoo's expression soured.

Then, he suddenly realized that someone behind him was trembling.

Lee Seri, hiding behind him and trembling. Realizing his mistake, Jinwoo understood that from the moment the man entered the booth, they were no longer safe.

And what he had to do.

Moreover, everyone here was...

"Hey."

Jinwoo approached the man, still sneering, with his fist clenched.

The man, looking puzzled at Jinwoo's sudden advance, saw Jinwoo raise his middle finger towards his face and said,

"Is this your house? Go home and eat, you bastard."

"...What?"

Jinwoo Vivaldi. He was a man who became infinitely strong in front of women.
