Became the Mafia of the Academy

The place we’re heading to now is the place we’ve been saving to go when we get closer with Choi Yeon, a place we wouldn’t even be able to try without her.

“… … garden?”

“Isn’t this your first time here?”

“yes. It’s the first place I’ve ever seen.”

Garden Titania located inside the Academy.

After Ray Pendragon became the student council president. A garden created as a welfare for the students, with many spirits and wizards. And it was an artificial forest created by the Awoken.

It is about the size of a university campus in its size, and it was also famous as the most popular dating course for academy couples.

“Then why did you come here? no way… … .”

What strange thoughts does he have?

“Dalian?”

Yes, Choi Yeon was such a character.

Anyway, do you only think about Dalian?

I sighed and pointed to the map at the entrance.

“I want to go there.”

“… … Vivian Lake?”

“Yeah, we’re going there.”

To be more precise, it could be called an elixir storage.

This forest, created by Ray Pendragon, was a public space created by collecting membership fees to create a resting space for students.

A place where all students can freely use and relax.

However, one day the player who entered the academy receives a note from a mysterious question, and by following the trace of the note and completing the quest chain, he learns the truth about the student council and Ray Pendragon… … !

It was one of the places that took on the climax of the scenario even on the student council route, where the quest of

And I’m going to ignore all of this and skip the reward.

Just using Choi Yeon.

“Choi Yeon. Just in case, can I use the water slicing?”

“Cleaning the water? I can use it, but… … ?”

“Good luck. Then follow me.”

As she enters the forest with Choi Yeon, the fresh air and the fragrant scent of flowers planted around her tickle her nose.

Butterflies and bees flying around, and even the occasional fairies.

Choi Yeon turned around and looked around as if this scenery was very strange.

“I don’t think it’s Korea.”

“I will. Because this is a kind of mana spot that Pendragon created artificially to recreate the myth.”

“… … Mana spot?”

“Yes, Mana Spot.”

And below this, there was a dungeon in the basement of our club room.

“When students use their abilities inside the academy, the mana is collected here, not scattered. No, to be precise, they gather at a lake in the middle of the forest.”

And the mana will be reborn as an elixir under the influence of this forest based on myth.

That’s the elixir called ‘Vivian’s Spring Water’.

It is an elixir that greatly increases mana aura, and since it is an elixir that raises the current stat to the maximum, its value could be said to be at a level that could not be put at a price.

It may be natural that they are not ordinary heroes, but the mana that comes from the Seoul Hero Academy, a place where the world’s most talented children gather.

“Is this a place similar to our Seonsan?”

Choi Yeon, who was listening to my explanation, murmured like that.

The word Seonsan that Choi Yeon spoke of seemed to refer to the ‘place’ owned by Choi Yeon’s family, the Changcheon family, and used as a training ground.

Well, it was the same principle, so it was the correct answer. But for now, I’ll have to pretend I don’t know.

“Sunsan? If it’s Seonsan, are you referring to the mountain your Changchun family owns?”

“yes. It is also a place where magical powers gather, so I heard that all the people of the Changcheon family practice there.”

huh? Wait a minute.

“… … Can I tell an outsider about that?”

“ah. right.”

As far as I know, it is a family secret that Seonsan, owned by Choi Yeon-ui’s family, is a place to gather magical powers.

But now the guy in front of me is bragging about it as if it’s nothing.

“Forget it. what you just said. If you get caught by your grandfather, you will be scolded.”

… … You’re not going to be scolded, you’re coming to shut my mouth, saying you’re going to kill me!

Taking a deep breath, I nodded my head.

“I pretend I didn’t hear.”

“yes. thank you.”

please boy I guess I wasn’t even talking to the other kids… … .

Anyway, maybe Choi Yeon did that?

He’s just a little dumb character. he wasn’t an idiot

“… … butterfly. pretty.”

Choi Yeon smiles as she follows butterflies flying around.

… … I’m not really an idiot.

In the meantime, the blue fairy butterfly, which was said to be difficult to catch, was caught with bare hands, so it seems that her skills are still there.

“Let it go. He gets a penalty because he is registered as a school property.”

“ah.”

After hearing my words, Choi Yeon releases the butterfly she has caught with a sad expression on her face.

And as it was, he was waving his hand towards the butterfly and saying hello.

If I kept going like this, I couldn’t see the end even after the first period, so I grabbed Choi Yeon’s sleeve.

“Huh?”

“Follow me. I do it while walking.”

“Ah, yes.”

Anyway, thanks to the needlessly large Pendragon, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the destination even if you walk diligently.

In the meantime, he will be in the forest, so it shouldn’t be a big deal to see.

By the way… … .

“It’s the first time I’ve seen that flower.”

“The butterfly is shining… … ?”

“Is that a snake? If you catch it, Grandpa will like it.”

“There are streams too.”

“They must have been flirting too.”

In fact, it was the fact that Choi Yeon’s mouth, which was almost dragging, moved non-stop.

Was he really such a talkative kid?

No, I can assure you, Choi Yeon was never an NPC with a lot of metabolism.

“Do you usually talk this much when there are other children?”

“yes… … ? no. I don’t think so.”

“You seem to be talking quite a bit about things like that now.”

Choi Yeon tilts her head to see if she thinks, ‘Really?’ after hearing my words.

“Well… … It might be a little exciting because there are so many things I’m seeing for the first time.”

“Are you seeing a lot for the first time?”

“yes. Usually, only swords were swung by the family. I feel excited when I come to a new place like this.”

At that moment, I remembered that the most effective way to increase the affinity of the youngest in the game was travel and matchmaking.

Even though Dalian is the same, I wondered why the favorability of the trip was soaring, but really… … Was there any behind the scenes?

It was an unknown part of a game with a fixed route.

therefore.

“… … There is plenty of time until the end of the first period. Look around slowly.”

“yes. thank you.”

It slowed down my steps a little.

* * *

After a while, the sound of running water began to be heard little by little.

A huge blue lake ‘Vivian’ located in the middle of the forest.

This was the place with the elixir that Pendragon had been hard at work with.

“Choi Yeon. Do you know anything about the myth of King Arthur?”

“… … any. I learned it from my family and I know it. Does this have anything to do with that?”

“Then don’t stay. According to the myth, King Arthur receives Excalibur from a woman in the lake, and there is a theory that the woman’s name is Vivian. And the name of this lake… … .”

“… … Was it Vivian?”

“Yeah, and we’re going to go inside that Vivian from now on.”

With that said, I approached the lake and glanced at the sign that said [No swimming].

A seemingly ordinary sign.

However.

“It was like this.”

It wasn’t too difficult to turn off a guard totem disguised as a warning sign.

“Young tea.”

He picked up the sign, pulled it out, and quietly placed it next to him.

“… … Can I pull it out?”

“It’s like a security device. It’s just been turned off for a while.”

“Security device?”

It was a simple security device that sent a signal to the magician at the same time as entering the water, but it was a totem installed in the academy site, so it could not be easily released because it was not possible to create a complicated procedure.

Of course, that’s only possible if you know that these trivial signs are totems.

“Hey, you can use a ripple towards the middle of the lake. Oh, do you have a black one?”

Choi Yeon shakes her head at my question.

“no. You can do it with your hand, but shall we?”

I would have said so if it was plain water, but this is a kind of safe containing an elixir.

I didn’t know that a hand blade might not be enough.

“Then wait a minute.”

I’m sure I’d have one around here… … .

Oh, I found it.

“How about this?”

Saying that, what he pulled out of the cube was a hideous machete, which stole the belongings of the triads he had met in Incheon Port in the past.

Although it looks baggy, it is a rare-grade item with “strengthening durability” attached to it.

I thought I might use it later, so I kept it separately, but luckily I have a place to use it.

“… … How much water should I use?”

“With power.”

“Then I think I’ll only survive once, is it okay if I break it?”

Do you think a machete with ‘Enhance Durability’ on it will break with one swing?

“that… … I would like to use the ripple in a line that does not cause any damage to the surrounding area as much as possible.”

“If that’s the case, then you don’t have to worry. It’s a quiet skill to rip off the water.”

Saying that, Choi Yeon, holding the machete I gave her, takes a break.

At the same time, the aurors rushing around her.

Then he swung his sword from top to bottom.

tock. The tip of the machete gently touches the water surface with a sound.

At the same time.

───────!

The water splits on both sides, revealing the hidden stairs.

This was the reason I came here with Choi Yeon.

Vivian loves a talented swordsman.

Therefore, the ‘inside of Vivian’, a space that can only be reached by a prosecutor who has reached a certain level.

Perhaps among the children currently in the academy, Ray Pendragon and Choi Yeon were the only ones who could open this place.

I could never have been able to get there by myself, who mainly deals with guns and fists, but I was intrigued by the fact that I was getting here so quickly.

At that time, Choi Yeon, who trudged along, handed me something with a gloomy expression on her face.

“I tried, but it broke. Sorry.”

Choi Yeon bows her head and hands me a machete with only the handle left.

However, compared to this Vivienne’s lake open key, this piece of iron was better.

“No, you don’t have to be sorry because you really picked it up from the ground. It is enough for me to thank you for opening this place.”

“… … okay?”

Having said that, he suddenly opened his chest.

“Then thank you.”

… … what is he really

“Yes, thank you.”

“yes.”

Leaving behind Choi Yeon, who is proud of her, she walks down the stairs.

A wall of water seen from both sides.

There, fish released for ornamental purposes could be seen swimming without question.

Walking in the water like this makes me feel like Moses.

“pretty.”

Perhaps it was so strange that the water cracked by his technique was hardened, and Choi Yeon followed the water wall with her finger.

With that figure behind me, standing in front of the pure white temple made of marble, I pushed the white door with my hand and went inside.

Then, a heavy sound resounded, and the inside of the temple slowly appeared.

“… … In fact, it’s even more ridiculous to see. After all, does it have to be the president of the academy student council to build such a facility secretly?”

As soon as the door opened, a pure white light shone down on the inside of the temple like the sun.

Not only the ceiling, but also the runes and spells written on the walls and floors.

Those subtly emitting light seemed to decorate this empty temple sacred.

And in the middle of such a temple there was a small fountain emitting light alone… … .

“──I found it.”
