I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 83

"Spring?"

Choi Yeon tilted her head as she looked at the spring in the middle of the temple.

"There's a spring even in the water?"

"It's incomparable to the water above."

"Huh?"

Vivian's Spring Water.

This is the ultimate elixir that the guy worked so hard to hide and create.

As I slowly brought my hand to the spring, item information appeared before my eyes.

[Name: Vivian's Spring Water]

[Grade: Quasi-Mythic]

[Type: Elixir]

[Description: An elixir created from the artificial Vivian Lake, its effects are very similar to the original. When consumed, magic power and aura significantly increase, and the maximum value rises.]

Yes, this is enough to be considered one of the final rewards of the academy.

Seeing that it's displayed as an item, it must be able to go into a cube as well.

As I slowly transferred the spring water into the cube, the seemingly plentiful spring water reduced to 2L and entered the cube.

Due to this, the water level dropped.

Choi Yeon, finding it fascinating, examined the spring.

"Huh? It seems like the water level has dropped a bit."

"It's just regular water now. Though it's clean... Would you like to drink it?"

"Not really, I'm not thirsty."

Since I've secured the elixir, I should give Choi Yeon a gift for helping me get here.

"Wait a moment."

Completely crouching down, I reached into the spring and felt something catch on my fingertips, so I pulled it out.

"Here, this is yours."

At the same time, item information appeared before my eyes

[Name: Fragment of Excalibur]

[Grade: Quasi-Mythic]

[Type: Material]

[Description: A fragment of the sword Excalibur from mythology. It is evolving into a replica of the original due to Vivian's Spring Water. When used as a material for a sword, it grants holy attributes and significantly increases the sword's grade.

※Caution: Only those who are proven can use it.]

It's a material item that can only be used when making a sword, and since I can't use it, and considering the conditions for using the sword with the fragment of Excalibur, it's not something I could use anyway.

If I remember correctly, you need to be at least a Sword Saint with a karma value completely tilted towards good, right?

So, rather than keeping something I can't use, it's better to give it to Choi Yeon who helped me this time and gain some favor.

"......The piece of iron is shining?"

Choi Yeon, who received the fragment of Excalibur from me in a daze, looked at it with curiosity, examining it from all angles.

It was emitting light more actively than when it was in my hand.

It seems it prefers her over me.

"It's a fragment of the original Excalibur. Ray Pendragon was trying to restore it here to use as a replica. If you use it to make a sword, you'll create an incredible sword."

"......Sword material?"

Upon hearing it's material for a sword, Choi Yeon chuckled and put it in her pocket.

"It's a valuable item that the student council president was hiding, so use it well. You'll probably become stronger than you are now."

"Just by having a sword?"

"It's that rare."

Choi Yeon's eyes widened at the thought of getting stronger.

Well, even in games, you can be unstoppable with weapons of much lower ranks. It's clear it will become stronger with mythical attributes.

"......Is it okay to give something like that to me?"

"I'm giving it to you because it's you."

Anyway, the restrictions are so strict that I can't use it, nor can anyone else, so it's better to use it like this.

"Because it's me... Yeah, I'll definitely use it to make a good sword."

"Alright, the first period is almost over, so let's head out. Oh, and make sure to keep today's visit a secret."

"Yeah. It's a secret."

"Good."

Anyway, this is a place he doesn't visit often.

When he later finds out that the elixirs and weapons he hid in his secret storage have been stolen, he'll go crazy, won't he?

Just imagining it made me feel refreshed as if a part of my heart was cleared.

"This is real mafia-style revenge."

Theft is a long-standing tradition of the mafia, after all.

* * *

Having completely erased the evidence by putting the sign back in its original place, I left the garden as if nothing had happened.

It was just about the time the first period ended.

As I walked silently, occasionally looking at the fragment of Excalibur in my hand and smiling, I returned to the main building with Choi Yeon. Noticing people around us, I looked at Choi Yeon.

There she goes, smiling again.

"Choi Yeon."

"......Yeah?"

Upon hearing her name called, she wiped the smile off her face and looked at me.

"No one should recognize it, but it's better not to take it out so openly. That thing is designated as a treasure in England, after all."

"Oh... Yeah."

Not just any treasure, but a fragment of Excalibur from King Arthur's myth.

The deeper the history of an item, the more likely it is to become a strong unique armament with skills.

Sometimes, it can even have the value of a strategic weapon.

Come to think of it, the student council president... smuggled such a thing overseas.

"Then... Can I tell Grandfather?"

"Grandfather... You mean the Sword Saint? If it's the Sword Saint, it should be fine."

Wouldn't it be better to let the Sword Saint know?

Seeing Choi Yeon just playing with it like a pretty stone, it seems she doesn't fully understand its value.

If it's the Sword Saint, he would recognize the value of the item and feel indebted to me for giving it as a gift.

Then, even the old man who usually looks down on Calione might not touch us easily.

"Anyway, you must never show it to anyone at the academy. Got it?"

"Yeah. I won't show it."

"Make sure to show it to Grandfather."

"Yeah."

Good, the setup is complete.

"Then I'll go. Don't forget about the sparring."

Choi Yeon said that and walked towards the direction of Class C.

In the end, she's still talking about sparring even when we part ways.

"......She'll remember and convey it properly, right?"

* * *

"Why is it so peaceful these days?"

Recently, the number of people applying for requests to the club has significantly increased.

From resolving conflicts with other clubs to protection requests.

It's probably because the reputation of 'Familia' has spread throughout the academy, gradually building trust in the name.

And as a result.

[Main Story]

[You've brought a new wind to the academy! By establishing your own new club, you've created your own new history! Lead your club successfully to upgrade to the Silver Club!]

[Achievement Conditions: Complete 5 club requests!]

[Number of Requests Completed: 4 / 5]

-Satisfied 2

-Very Satisfied 2

[※The achievement reward may vary depending on the results.]

Finally, only one request remains until the next level.

"Two very satisfied and two satisfied... I see, so the results can vary depending on this."

In that case, I must do my best to ensure the last remaining request ends with 'very satisfied'.

The fortunate thing was that the recent requests, unlike those during the 'Recipe Development Club', have been completed very simply.

"I hope they give us an Aura-related ability as a story reward."

I can only emit Aura, and barely control it, so the ability to handle Aura is extremely necessary for me.

With such thoughts, I tried practicing Aura Control, which I've been doing habitually lately, on my hand.

Sphere, tetrahedron, cube, star.

Though still wobbly, I've managed to create shapes with Aura Control.

Of course, without the bracelet given by Mr. Gwak Chunshik, even this would be difficult, but I've been training frequently lately because I can definitely feel my growth.

By the way, why hasn't this man contacted me after saying he needed to sort out his thoughts?

As I was pondering this while fiddling with the Aura.

-Knock knock

[Yoojin. You have a visitor?]

From outside the President's Office, I heard Seah's voice along with the knocking sound.

"A visitor?"

If it's a client, who would come as a visitor?

With such thoughts, I got up from my seat and went out of the President's Office.

"A visitor, you say? Who could it be other than a client... Lee Seri, Senior?"

"Ah. Yoo, Yoojin, Junior! It's been a while!"

Petite physique with twin-tails tied on both sides.

Perhaps because of that, the girl Lee Seri naturally brings to mind a puppy.

She was standing in front of the Familia Club booth, smiling broadly.

"Ah, please come in for now."

"Th, thank you."

With a bright smile, she entered and placed the large box she was carrying in both hands on the table.

"Oh my... My arms hurt. If I had held it a bit longer, my arms would have fallen off..."

"What's this?"

"Ah. This, this? It's nothing special, just a new recipe we made for the upcoming freshman welcome party. I made some to practice, but it turned out to be too much... I thought it would be nice to share, so I brought it."

As she said that and opened the box, beautifully decorated cupcakes were revealed.

"Cupcakes?"

Perhaps because she had already tasted the food from the Recipe Development Club, Seah swallowed hard and spoke.

"Yes, since it's food for the event, I made it a bit more elaborate with the help of the Bakery Club."

Ah, I thought the decoration was more elaborate than usual, so it was made with the Bakery Club? This must have received a different kind of buff.

At that moment, Seah, who was standing next to me, started jumping up and down in excitement and looked at me.

"Wow...! Yoojin. Yoojin. Can I eat one now? Right? Yes?"

She seemed eager to taste it right away.

At this, I sighed and handed her the box with the cupcakes.

From the sounds, it seemed like Youngje and Jinwoo were also exercising separately in the training room, so I pointed towards the training room and said.

"Go ahead and eat. Share one with the people in the training room."

"Wow! Yes!"

As soon as she got permission, Seah rushed to the training room with the box.

Perhaps because she liked Seah's reaction so much, Lee Seri just smiled quietly.

"Thank you for always bringing snacks like this."

"Oh, no way. We're Familia, right? Hehe."

Since the last request, Lee Seri has been visiting occasionally with food.

As she said, the people from the 'Recipe Development Club', including her, were practically members of 'Familia'.

"By the way, do 'Familia' members do any club promotion at the welcome party?"

"At the welcome party, you mean?"

"Yes. There's never been a precedent of a club being formed before the welcome party by freshmen. So, I was curious about what you're planning to do..."

Come to think of it, the freshman welcome party at the academy was approaching soon.

One of the academy's representative events held when everyone has finished adapting to the academy.

It was an event for communication, allowing for the recruitment of students who haven't joined a club yet and for seniors and juniors to interact.

"I haven't heard anything specific from the academy, so I'm not sure."

"Oh. Is that so? Indeed, I've never seen a club consisting only of freshmen."

"Yes. And as you know, Familia doesn't really have anything specific to show."

"Ah. That's true. Well, mercenary clubs or combat-focused clubs don't really do promotions either. But, Yoojin, as a Second Place, you might do something special."

"Ah... I suppose I might."

Come to think of it, did the Second Place and the Top Student give speeches at the welcome party?

From what I remember, if Choi Yeon was the Top Student, she wasn't good at speaking, so the Second Place always gave the speech in her place.

...I hope I'm not the one who has to do it this time.

As I was having such uneasy thoughts.

[Ji Soohyun: You have to do the freshman representative oath at the welcome party. LOL]

"What the hell──"

It really came to me.
