I Became a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 312

Light spirit, a spirit that does not have the ability to inflict additional damage to other spirits like a dark spirit, but can halve damage received from general spirits and provide additional damage to dark spirits.

As the antithesis of the Dark Spirits, who are the only thing other spirits fear, and who pose no threat to them, they are the ones who can protect them.

As such, they naturally gravitated toward the Light Spirits, and most Spirits Cities were centered around them.

“There they are.”

The giant spires that scattered bright light around them, hoping to somehow defeat the darkness, were a stark reminder of why they were called Light Spirits.

-Gather under the power light! The light is with you!

The spirits crept toward the base of the spire, as if to disappear into the light.

The dark spirits dared not enter, but could only watch the scene with grim expressions.

“I guess it’s time for us to step up.”

Latte, who had been watching, slowly stepped forward, wiggling her fingers.

“Are you sure you’re okay? This is going to be uncomfortable.”

As an intelligence officer, Latte was skilled at infiltration and disguise.

That’s why she’d worn all sorts of gear to conceal her body shape in the presence of Sasha and Jin-woo.

That’s still the case now, so she’s not at full strength……..

“Have you forgotten who I am?”

But she strode forward as if it was no big deal.

“You should have seen me in Niflheim.”

“……You shuddered when I told you about Dark Spirit.”

“Well, that’s that, you can take a break here while the gang and I take care of this.”

Latte starts to move forward, calling out to the gang behind her.

It was a common signal that all Corleone members knew, so they formed up in a familiar formation and slowly began to approach the spirits.

-You damn dark spirits! You’ve finally joined forces with humans!

As the spirits shouted with even more emotion at Corleone’s arrival, Latte shrugged her shoulders in response.

“You’re the ones who drove them out, and this is the only time you treat them like your own? Seriously, you’re trying to discriminate against a subject that’s no different from humans in this way?”

-Ew! Shut up!

“You’re cursing because you have nothing to say, well, let’s see if you can say it while you’re dying.”

At the same time, the group spread out on both sides and began to charge at the spirits.

-Stop!

The spirits activate their abilities to block the gang members.

The Earth Elementals, who were more durable than the others, stood in the front, while the others tried to attack from behind. …….

───!!

-Off, off, off!

-Ah, the power of the dark ones!

With the dark spirits power shooting from our hands, which deals additional damage to all spirits, the earth elementals were unable to mount a proper defense and quickly began to crumble.

-You traitors, what have you been telling the humans!

One of the defending spirits shouts at the top of his lungs at Black Hand.

-You were the ones who betrayed us first.

Black Hand replies with an incredulous expression.

Just as I was looking at the defense that was collapsing in an instant, I was consolidating my aura.

-Boom.

-Damned humans!

From the top of the tower, a giant chunk of rock falls toward us.

No, is that a human form?

I realized that it was a mid-level spirit and was about to shoot it down.

“Jin-woo Bevalt, Sasha, get that.”

Latte’s order was faster than my movements.

Jin-woo’s winds whipped up at Latte’s beckoning.

-Ew, damn it!

This caused the free-falling creature to begin to slow down, and in the meantime, Sasha soared into the sky and swung the sword in her hand.

A dark sword, a weapon that reflects no light, forged by the dark spirits with their own power.

In an instant, the aura within it surged upward with dark power.

-Crunch!!!

───Kwao!!!

An attack that was no ordinary attack, but one that was deadly to them.

He quickly drew up his strength to block Sasha’s attack, but the aftermath shook his center of gravity and sent him tumbling to the ground.

At the same time, a thick layer of dirt began to spread around him…….But the opponent was an Intermediate Earth Spirit.

As far as I was concerned, they hadn’t dealt with it yet.

“Get out of the way!”

Jin-woo leaped into the dust with his dagger, the ‘Dagger of Thought (Dragon)’.

He imbued the dagger not only with dark power, but also with a black wind mixed with his own bloodline abilities and plunges the dagger into the Earth Spirit’s chest.

-Crunch──

In the end, he and his companion left at the same time. A fist-sized elemental stone was all that remained of the creature.

“So, all that’s left is that guy over there who acts as a light?”

I glance up and see the top of the spire still emitting light.

As I extend my aura sonar through my grounded feet, a picture begins to form in my mind of the interior of the spire.

I can see the spire bathed in bright light and the Light Elementals waiting on each floor.

“……So, they’re going to hold out until help arrives?”

Well, it’s the right thing to do when the spirits who should be defending the spire together are split right now.

Too bad it was me against them.

“Everyone out of the way.”

I shooed the group retrieving the elemental stones from the floor out of the way, and then, dusting off my still-stiff knuckles, approached the front of the spire.

Luckily, thanks to Latte’s favor, I’ve been able to recover most of the aura I’ve used to break down the gates.

My father said he had taken down a castle with a single skill.

If that’s the case, why can’t I start with a spire?

“Tanngrisnir.”

I chanted the technique that had once again broken the gates of this city, and swung my fist as hard as I could at the spire.

I felt the respect and awe of my men behind me and the fear of so many within the tower.

All of it in a single, unified front as aura.

Kwaaaaaang────!!!

The spire shakes violently with a tremendous roar but somehow, the spire still doesn’t fall.

Well, not that it was supposed to fall in the first place.

“Tanngrisnir.”

A second blow was delivered immediately.

The wall begins to crumble at the point of impact, revealing the interior.

At the same time, the spire begins to rumble and shake.

“Everyone! Take cover.”

As they scramble to avoid the tilting spire, the other members of the organization and the spirits begin to run in panic.

“Fall back, everyone fall back!”

-Everybody get back!

In such trembling vibrations.

“Well, that’s neat.”

And thus I wrote another myth in Corleone.

* * *

After the fall of the spire, things went very smoothly for Corleone.

We were able to capture all of the spirits injured in the tower’s collapse and imprison them in the Prison of Darkness, as well as capture the city’s administrator, a Light Elemental.

Master Eugene took it down to the dungeons for questioning.

As I caught my breath in my allotted resting spot after a major battle, I glanced over at Mickey, who was sitting in her seat, scribbling something.

“……Hmm. What should I do, ask or not? Hmm.”

“What were you frowning about earlier?”

Sasha, who had her back against the wall and her eyes closed, asked, opening them as if she couldn’t stand the sound of Jin-woo’s voice.

“No, I’m just curious. Well, he told us to ask him any questions we have, so I guess I can ask, right?”

TLN: Jin-woo and Sasha think Mickey it’s a man.

Finally gathering his thoughts, Jin-woo approached Latte and opened his mouth.

“Instructor Mickey.”

“Huh? Ah, Jin-woo Bevalt. What’s up?”

Latte closed the book she was writing and looked at Jin-woo, who hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

“Uh, I was wondering, and I hope you don’t mind me asking, but I was wondering if Black Flame is somewhat common, you can see it here and there?”

“What? Black flame……ah! That?”

Latte let out a weak laugh at Jin-woo’s question.

At the same time, she remembered what Eugene had said to her the other day, and answered as if it was no big deal.

“It’s not common, but it’s not unheard of either. For example, just look at Lord Adanvanto, who is currently the Consigliere, he was famous for his Black Flame in the past.”

“Oh!”

“By the way, why did you ask that question? Was there anyone else around you who used Black Flame?”

Jin-woo is taken aback by Latte’s innocent question.

“Oh, no, I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to ask, just in case.”

“Hmm? Is that so? Being able to create Black Flame is quite a talent, so if you know someone like that, you can scout them out.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Sure. As long as they pass the test, they’re welcome.”

Jin-woo smiles brightly at Latte’s words.

Just then, a black-masked man walked out from the direction of the prison. It was Eugene Han Corleone.

“Ah, Master, are you finished?”

“Yes. I have the locations of the enemy’s other cities. Unfortunately, the size of their army and the nature of their leaders were not revealed until the end.”

As Eugene said that, he recalled the events in the dungeon.

He remembered liquefying the dark power and pouring it onto the creature’s forehead, drop by drop.

Eventually, he had to stop because he was dying, but the map with their exact locations was a great reward.

“In three days, we’ll begin the all-out war. In the meantime, send a request for reinforcements to the main house and the other families. I’m sure my uncles know all about it.”

“Understood, Master.”

With that order, Eugene exhaled heavily, removing his mask in exhaustion. He was conscious that Latte, who had spotted him, had sent an incoming signal.

“Whew. It’s exhausting.”

A face completely transformed by the [Clown Makeup] was revealed.

When Jin-woo and Sasha looked surprised at his suddenly unmasked appearance, Eugene gave them a toothy grin.

“What’s so surprising?”

“Oh, that, that.”

“I didn’t expect Young Boss to suddenly take off his mask.”

“Really? You guys shouldn’t have any problem recognizing my face.”

With that, Eugene picked up the water bottle next to him and took a gulp of water.

Jin-woo, who was staring at him blankly, mumbles in a dazed voice.

“……My master is handsome.”

“……Yes, he is.”

Sasha agrees.

~Academy on a weekday~

After a long weekend, the academy was a strange place to be, both welcoming and dreadful.

I walked into the classroom at the usual early hour, exchanged a quick hello with the first kids to arrive, and was about to flop down at my desk to catch some sleep.

“Hey, boss!”

Jin-woo, who had come earlier than usual for some reason, called out to me urgently.

“……Why again?”

His voice is usually full of nonsense, but this time I wondered what he was talking about.

He quickly looked around and came to my side.

After checking his surroundings once more, he suddenly turned to me and spoke quietly.

“Boss, do you want to join Corleone?”

……ha.
