I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 39:

Very difficult.

Roberto was measuring my chest when he suddenly let out a sigh and my father, who had been watching him curiously from the side, spoke up.

Are you sure thats what Eugene needs?

Yes. I never thought Id end up making a suit for you after the Don.

Hes going to make me a suit like my fathers?

What does he mean?

Alas, you need not worry.

Seeing my puzzled expression, Roberto waves a hand and smiles wryly.

Dont get me wrong, Master. Its a good thing.

A good thing?

Yes. I have no trouble making a suit out of the materials we have in our shop for most Awakened, as we have a wide variety of them, but.

As he says this, Roberto looks at my father.

The quality of the materials we have in the shop is far too low for your characteristics and temperament, and there is one man who has done this before, and that is your father, Don Vito Corleone.

In other words, hes saying that my potential is too good to make me a suit using the materials in the shop.

What can I do then? After all, wasnt my fathers suit made by the maestro?

Thats because Don himself procured the materials back then. Its not many materials I need, just one.

Having said that, he raised his finger and said.

The ingredient that contains your saga. Thats the key.

?

An ingredient with a narrativeNo way, hes talking about achievement items?

There was a similar system in the game.

A shard of achievement, an item that the system grants whenever you get an achievement for the first time.

Players could use them to create their own one-of-a-kind items, and in this place, which was no longer a game, but a reality, they seemed to be designed to be created through Maestros.

So where do I get this material?

I asked the Maestro but he shrugged.

Thats something I dont know.

What?

In Dons case, he came with the material of a monster he had defeated with his own hands that day; in Lord Parnellos case, it was one of the knives he had used all his life.

Then Roberto looked me in the eye.

Indeed, I look forward to seeing what you bring. So, lets get right to the waistline, shall we?

Now, wait. I thought you couldnt make a suit without that material?

Then why does he insist on proceeding?

Haha, Im a Maestro, I cant make a suit if I dont have the material?

What?

No, its just that I cant make a one-of-a-kind grade suit right now, but I can certainly make a unique grade suit with the materials in my shop.

Okay, lets go ahead and take the measurements.

After saying that, Roberto walks around me and checks my overall measurements.

So, do you have to take all these measurements again?

Roberto smirks as he straps the tape measure to his thigh.

Probably not, because I usually end up with a unique grade suit, which is made by absorbing the material into the core.

After taking all the measurements, Roberto stands up, removing the tape measure from his hand.

Ordinarily, the next step would be to decide what material to use for the suit, but since Don has already made all the decisions, I suppose we can pass on that.

My father?

I turned my head at Robertos words and saw my fathers figure smiling thinly in my direction.

Yes, Ive been a little greedy, wanting to tailor your first outfit with materials Ive been able to procure myself, if possible.

Yes. Thats why I said I only needed one material to use as a core, and with what youve given me, I can make the best of it.

Oh my. Oh my!

Don Vito Corleone is mentioned when asked to name the most powerful man in the world and he personally procured materials for my suit?!

For the fabric, I will be using a fabric made from the pure wool of the Abyssal Jade King who appeared in Gangwon Province in the past in the form of a sheep.

Crazy.

For the lining, I will use the silk that Abyss Moss first spun while growing up.

Crazy.

The buttons will be made from the horn of a unicorn.

I think Im going to die of happiness.

Of course, you will need to prepare the material that will serve as the final core.

I looked at my father with trembling eyes.

The Abyssal Jade Kings pure wool, Abyssal Moths silk and a unicorns horn, these three alone were the ultimate ingredient items, impossible for me to obtain, let alone hold.

Father.

Ive always kept these things just in case, but it feels good to use them.

Really.

The fact that I became the ruler of the underworld son was the best thing that ever happened to me.

* * *

Out of bed, I stretched, feeling refreshed for the first time in a long time.

Sleep sure does feel good.

I hadnt gotten a good nights sleep in the past few days, between the successor class and the organizations request, but this vacation was a real treat.

Lets get ready for.

Today was a Saturday when I didnt have to go to the academy, but I couldnt just lie around and roll around at home because it was a Saturday when I received a request from the organization.

After all, I was the one who wanted to train.

Having lightly groomed myself and changed into the academys cadet uniform, I thought back to yesterday.

Your outfit wont be ready until a week from now, and Ill send a message to Corleone, so you can relax and wait.

Apparently, it would take quite a while to make the suit, as it was no ordinary cloth. Or rather, the fact that it took only a week to make such a garment, it was rather fast.

Big brother, are you going to school again today?

As I walked to the front door to go outside, Jiyun, who was eating a snack, came up to me with a big smear of whipped cream on the corner of her mouth.

She looked up at me with a giggle, unaware that she had whipped cream on her cheeks.

I stroke her head because shes so adorable.

Ill be back early today, so why dont you play with me tonight?

Waaaah! Yes!

After all, its Saturday, so she deserves at least this much.

With that, I left Jiyun behind and headed to the academy with the other members of the organization who were waiting for me.

Han Seo-joon was apparently off today and a member I didnt recognize took over driving, so I checked the Character Book, but unfortunately, there were no new update notifications.

Well, I thought it was because he wasnt that special.

Im here.

In the distance, I could see Jin-woo working out in a training center filled with exercise equipment.

I walked up to the entrance of the training center, and Jin-woo felt my presence and turned around.

Oh, youre here, boss?

Youre here sooner than I thought.

My house is a bit far away, and if I try to be on time, Im always late, so I come early every day.

I didnt think he was usually late, but apparently there was a reason for that.

Wheres Se-ah?

She? Shes not here yet?

Se-ah?

Se-ah, who was supposed to be here before Jin-woo, was late.

Is something wrong?

Im not late! Its not too late, is it?

Se-ah bursts through the door with a loud bang, letting out a ragged breath.

Uhhhah, Im not late.

Ahhhthank goodness. I lost track of time while cooking for my siblings.

In the <Character Book>, it was said that Se-ah was taking care of her two younger siblings by herself.

I felt like I should give her a little more money if she did a good job with this request.

First, lets take a breather. Its not like were going very far anyway.

Huh? Where are we going?

I hadnt given him any details about the training, so he tilted his head at my words.

I thought you were just going to train here or test our skills in a duel.

Oh, were going to a dungeon. You, me, and Se-ah.

A dungeon?!

It was Se-ah who exclaimed in surprise.

The dungeon is the dungeon I know, right? The one where defeating monsters gives you moneyNo, the one where materials drop!

Uh right?

So, where should we go? Sinchon? Gangnam? I can go anywhere right away!

I wonder if its because you can earn money by entering the dungeon.

Se-ahs eyes, which had been giggling until just now, began to glaze over.

Sinchon and Gangnamwhat is she thinking?

I told you, its not far away.

I said and pointed to the ground I was stepping on.

Underground.

What?

Were going underground.

I didnt ask for room Z simply because it was spacious and had an elevator.

I had asked for it because we were going to a dungeon that could only be accessed through it.

Boss, what do you mean, underground? Theres a dungeon underground?

Jin-woo wipes the sweat from his face with the towel around his neck and I nod.

Jinwoo raises his eyes as if hes been surprised.

Crazy. Really?

Then its either real or fake.

Young-jae, who was planted as a spy in the Ranger Club, is also going to the dungeon with us today.

Have you two ever been to a dungeon before?

Se-ah shakes her head and Jin-woo nods.

I went with my dad once before I entered the academy.

I havent.Then what about you, Eugene?

You mean me?

Lets seeWait.

There wasnt one. Ive been there before in games, but never in this body.

I thought to myself, Ive already taken down an organization, Im more than halfway through Chapter 3, and Ive never been in a dungeon.

It was a pretty funny situation. But then again, its hard to say that I havent been to the dungeon that Jin-woo also went to so I said.

Youll have to see for yourself.

With that, I headed for the elevator to avoid saying anything more.

Huh? Boss, where are you going?

I told you, theres a dungeon in the basement.

And, with no stairs to the basement, this elevator was the only way to get there.

Lets go.

To the dungeon.
