I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 47:

Kwons face was still turning sour in real time.

Yes, of course it was. I worked so hard to see that look.

I dont think Ive seen you before, how did you get here?

Kwon Soo-hyeop gritted his teeth in response to my question with a blank expression.

You planted a spyso you should know.

Apparently, he saw Young-jae inside and understood the situation in an instant.

If he didnt realize it after seeing that, he wasnt really qualified to be a club president.

Well, then I guess I dont have to be respectful, since you probably dont have good intentions anyway.

His demeanor changes in an instant, and when I say that, he looks at me with a look of amusement.

Ha, I thought youd at least show me some respect as a senior.

If you came with goodwill, I would have respected you, but you came with enmity, not goodwill, right?

After telling him that, I and Haru walked into the clubroom.

Why, I thought you were here to say hello, come on in and have a look.

I havent even shown them half of what I wanted to show them yet.

Huh? Mr. President, youre here, earlier than I thought?

From the kitchen on one side of the storeroom, Isheri with flour on her body walks out. When she sees the members of the Ranger Club standing at the entrance, she is momentarily surprised, but quickly composes herself and smiles.

By the way, you said were having guests today, so please come inside!

Kwon Soo-hyeop gives me a strange look when she says this.

Why, are you surprised that the president of the Recipe Development Club is here, or are you surprised that we have a kitchen in our club? If not that, then.Youre surprised that the president of the Recipe Development Club is looking fine when she sees you.

But Kwon Su-hyeop kept his mouth shut and didnt answer.

Well, you dont have to answer. Why dont all the other seniors come inside, we have enough refreshments.

After hearing my words, the members of the Ranger Club slowly made their way inside.

I knew they would be coming, so I had set up an ample supply of simple desks and chairs in the largest hall of the room.

Here, they were in for a surprise. After they were all seated, there was still plenty of room.

By the way, I said, youre not the only guests here today, so please dont feel uncomfortable.

I wasnt expecting much. I just wanted them to see for themselves before I broke them.

In short, it was simple human nature.

And so it began.

Mr. Eugene, the International Trade Club is here~

They were twice the number of the Ranger Club and Kwon Su- hyeop face darkens at this.

What are these people.?

I thought you had received the news? Today, were having our clubs initiation ceremony.

Initiation ceremony?

Yeah, weve invited all the clubs under our umbrella.

As I was explaining the connection to the International Trade Club to him, I saw Jin-woos blonde hair in the distance.

Boss, Ive also gathered people from the Board Game Club.

With the arrival of another club, not only Kwon Su-hyeop, but also the members of the Ranger Clubs facade slowly begin to crumble.

So far, dozens of people have gathered in our club room.

It seems like the Ranger Club came to destroy our spirit, but theyre the ones who got destroyed.

You havent even gotten here yet, and youre already doing that.

Shut up.

And the one that made them realize that

Im here. As I said before, can I borrow the training ground?

Youre welcome.

It was Ji-hyuns appearance.

The appearance of the Academys most untouchable instructor caused every single member of the Ranger Club to panic.

After a quick glance at them, Ji-hyun let out a smirk and headed straight for the training grounds.

Her arrival didnt mean much, she was just a starter of sorts. Someone to make sure that the overzealous kids didnt cross the line.

She hadnt actually said anything, but shed announced that shed be supporting me as soon as she realized that I outfitted the club room with super-luxury equipment.

Shes not the kind of person who wouldnt come if I stopped her, but she came at just the right time.

Now that she was here I could proceed to the next stage but at that moment, Jin-woo, who had been watching the whole thing from my side, finally burst out laughing.

Boss, do you see the look on their faces? They came in thinking theyre so good, but its backfired on them. Theyre actually envious, arent they?

Unable to resist the sound of Jin-woos laughter echoing through the silent stale room, Kwon Su-hyeop finally blushed and stood up from his seat.

Well go first.

Jin-woo stood in front of Kwon Soo-hyeop and glared at him.

Miss Isheri food was not served yet. I know you guys love her food.

I dont care, I can eat iteven if its not today.

Eh? Whos going to let you eat it later, youre dreaming.

After saying that, Jin-woo slowly stretched his head forward and spoke into his ear.

The food you eat today will be the last food you ever eat, so youd better eat well.

Normally, he would have shrugged it off, but Jin-woo had an uncanny talent for provocation.

Not only are there other club members around, but theres an instructor and a first-year senior on the training grounds, so he cant do anything but put up with it.

Why?

Because all the other clubs here are non-combat clubs like the Recipe Development Club, and all of them have had the experience of being almost killed by combat-oriented clubs.

If they did anything stupid in that situation, they could end up turning all of the non-combat clubs throughout the academy against them, not just the bronze clubs.

And my job is to get rid of that impatience.

Oh, I forgot to tell you this, the Inomiya Group, the parent company of the International Trade Clubs Haru, has decided to purchase the patent rights to the Golden Walnut Pie recipe.What are you guys going to do about it? Youre going to be the dogs chasing the chickens after all?

The sound of grinding teeth gets louder.

Why would a group called Inomiya or something want to buy her recipe, theres no way theyd know about it unless you put it in their mouth.

But I didnt stop taunting him, smiling and telling him.

Youre right, I did put some wind in their sails. Why, you think its unreasonable for us to show up in the middle of nowhere? If you do, the answer is simple.

With that, I put my hand on his shoulder.

Lets go to war. Youre the head of a Bronze Club, you should know that, right?

All-out war, a battle between two clubs, with all of the clubs rating points theyve been accumulating, and the clubs fortune on the line, where only one of the two clubs can survive.

If you come at us with an all-out war, were not going to duck. Were going to go all in. Do you understand? If youre willing to put everything you have on the line to win, then go all out.

I said.

Im sure the Familia would welcome your challenge.

I smiled and offered him my hand, but instead of taking it, he glared at me.

Since weve only just formed our club, our protection period will be over roughly next week.

Protection period was a rule of the Academy that prevented new clubs from competing in duels involving the clubs rating.

At the end of the protection period, Ill challenge you to an all-out war. And Ill take it all away from you. Everything you have, so wipe your throats and wait.

After saying that, Kwon slapped my shoulder and walked out.

Wow.That asshole. He hit you on the shoulder to save the last bit of dignity.

Jin-woo glares at the guys beyond the door of Room Z and mumbles to himself, wondering if Kwon Su-hyeops slap on the shoulder was really that bad.

You see, I was hoping this would make them give up, but from the looks of itI dont think it will, so were going to have to go to war after all.

Young-jae nods in agreement.

Even when I was over there, the guys down below told me that the club president, Kwon Su-hyeop, is a single-minded man, and he has to get what he wants before hell let go.

In other words, he never gives up.

Well, thats the way it is. We have to deal with them in our own way, but first.

With that, I looked at the members of the International Trade Club and the Board Game Club who had come to visit us today.

At the same time, members of the Recipe Development Club come out of the kitchen with trays full of sweets.

The food is ready!

Please enjoy!

Thank you all so much!

One by one, peoples eyes are drawn to the sweets as the savory smells begin to spread.

Boss, all these people have come to rely on us, do you think well be strong enough to defeat them by then?

Jin-woos question was valid. An all-out war meant that the four of us would have to take on the entire Ranger Club.

To ease his worries, I quietly advised him.

Even if theyre bronze, theyre still a combat club with sophomores and juniors. If you ask me, theyre definitely too strong for you guys. I honestly think its going to be tough with how you are now. But

I had no intention of making it easy for them. If they chose to follow me, they would have to be the best in the Academy.

Next week Ill do my best to make you grow.

And as if to echo my response, the other club leaders spoke up.

From now on, the Recipe Development Club will help as much as possible!

The Board Game club will help if theres anything we can do.

Im just following Familia leader.

With so many people offering to help as part of our family, what could I be afraid of?

I was helping them, just as they were helping me.

Youd better not eat much. You might throw up when we duel later.

As I lightly advise the faces of the men who are just beginning to enjoy their food, turn grim.

Boss.

Mr. Eugene, thats too much.

Boss, cut us some slack today.

For the record, my advice was sincere.
