I Became a Mafia in the Academy - Chapter 259

Chapter 259

The world still doesn’t know that Dark Spirit is dead.

In a way, it’s no wonder.

Until now, Dark Spirit has been a legendary villain who has never revealed his true identity to anyone, and has never let anyone who has seen his face live.

“There is not a single person who has ever seen Dark Spirit face, for all who have seen his face have died.”

“There is no Dark Spirit in the world, for he has never been ‘seen’.”

“There are only two things left in the path of Dark Spirit: blood and darkness. Nothing else exists.”

Even in Niflheim, where only villains congregate, he is rumored to be the talk of the town.

His name alone had such a frightening effect that it struck fear into the air.

And I took the life of such a man with my own hands.

“This is my outfit. I’ve got my weapons. I changed the aura color to…….”

I made sure the aura rising from my hand black instead of red, and I warmed up before bouncing my legs in a frenzy of movement.

“Haru. Do you copy?”

-Good reception.

“Okay. I’ll be right on the move.”

The target’s residence was in the same neighborhood as the student council secretary.

Where the secretary’s neighborhood was a residential area, this one was a cluster of hotels, buildings, and office buildings.

The one he was living in was a suite in a hotel in the center of the city, a high-rise that would be quite difficult to break into.

“Do you have any idea where the guards are located or their movements?”

-I’ve got it, I’ll brief you as soon as you get in.

“Please.”

I pull my mask all the way up over my face and start walking.

The infiltration route is through the back door.

It’s usually locked at this hour, but that’s why the guards don’t bother with it.

“Aura style is really convenient in this area.”

Pouring the aura into the keyhole, I mold it to its shape, harden it, and turn it.

-Ding-ding.

The door opened easily.

As I enter the hotel, I hear Haru’s voice in my in-ear.

-There are no guards around.

“Okay. I’ll be right upstairs.”

As much as I’d like to take the elevator, the elevator to his suite requires a card key, plus the lobby where the elevator is located has a lot of security.

-I’m a little worried.

“What?”

-Dark Spirit doesn’t usually leave the witnesses of its actions alive, does it, or is there a chance that Master…….

Apparently, she was worried about the risks that come with impersonating Dark Spirit.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. I have a plan.”

With a snap, the Tokarev is drawn from its holster.

The heavy handle is cold to the touch but it’s the star of the show.

Ricochet, a technique I learned from Rick.

The combination of this skill and the geography of the building was enough. I’ll probably be out of here before I know it.

“Where’s the CCTV on the stairs?”

-Secured. There’s one guard on the fifth floor.

“Check.”

The security of this damn hotel was so great that there were stairs leading to the right and left ends of the building on every 5 floors so I had to walk through a hallway in between.

It was a bit of a hassle, but……I have enough experience with nighttime battles and raids.

The sound of footsteps slowly turned upward, and I heard the sound of boots overhead.

It must be the guards Haru had spoken of.

Tokarev’s skill, Silence, is activated here.

[Silence: You can fire a total of 9 bullets per day without making any sound]

“Huh?!”

The bullet, fired without any sound or warning, curved at an impossible angle and lodged in the nape of the guard’s neck.

-Confirming the target’s silence.

“I’ll keep moving.”

Reaching the fifth floor, I gently opened the door to the hallway, revealing three guards.

Three people huddled together, talking.

This time, I didn’t even bother to use Ricochet and put three bullets into them.

-! -! -!

I fired four shots with Silence.

Ignoring the guys on the ground, I continue up the stairs.

“Haru, how many floors did you say this building has?”

-27 floors to be exact, with 21 more to go.

“……Fucking asshole. You live really high up.”

With so many floors to go, I decided to save the “silence” for later.

There’s still plenty of time to learn how to sneak up on them without being seen.

-Near the eighth floor. There are two guards.

This time, I activate the Black Mist skill, “Shadow Walk,” and slip into the shadows.

The place where I jumped up is where they have their backs to each other.

I stretch out both arms and punch them in the nape of the neck, instantly stunning them both.

-You’re good at this kind of infiltration.

I hear Haru’s praise as she checks me out on the CCTV footage.

“Speaking of infiltration, didn’t I do it the last time I robbed the Pendragon family?”

-……It was more of an invasion than an infiltration.

“Is that so?”

That was a magical☆ infiltration.

-I’m afraid you’re going to have to pick up the pace if you want to get to the target before the stunned people wake up.

“Okay. Then I’ll move faster from now on.”

My footsteps are muffled by Black Mist anyway.

I pick up the pace a bit and start running up the stairs.

-Two guards at the door.

“Check.”

I continue up the stairs, using my ‘Shadow Step’ to pass where I can and stun the guards where I need to.

I somehow managed to reach the 25th floor.

“What is it here?”

Unlike the other floors with rooms, this one was full of unidentifiable pipes, hoses, and wires.

-It looks like the hotel uses it as a boiler room and maintenance room. There’s a locked door on the far right, which I’m guessing can be unlocked with an administrator key.

“Admin key?”

I trudge over and see a green door.

It’s a door that has all sorts of imprints on it, and if I force it open, the whole hotel will know.

“I didn’t pack an admin key.”

-You don’t need one.

At the same time, the door opens with a dinging sound.

“I’ve always wondered, Haru, where did you learn this skill?”

-Such tricks are fundamental to survival in the Inomiya family.

I can’t believe how easy it was to get past the hotel’s security.

“The best sidekick……!”

-Yes?

“No, it’s nothing.”

I push open the door and step up the stairs, revealing an opulent place like no other.

“The guy who got kicked out of his house is living in a place like this. Let’s see……that?”

I head to what appears to be the master bedroom and peek through the slightly ajar door.

He’s still lying there, unaware of my presence. The floor is littered with the remains of empty bottles he’s apparently been drinking from.

“What is this……? I feel like an idiot for coming all prepared.”

I walked into the room and looked at his face, which was snoring hard.

It was the same guy I had seen in Bucheon.

The smell of alcohol spreads around with every exhale.

It didn’t look like he was going to wake up easily.

“Let’s give him a warning, then.”

The first thing I did was cover his eyes.

I happened to have a blindfold next to me, so I put it on, then tied his hands and feet together.

And then I slap him right across the cheek.

“Is ……a little weak?”

I lightly picked up the aura and did it again.

Click! Snap!

After a few more swats.

“Ewww?! What, what!”

The caterpillar-like creature stirred and came to his senses.

“You’re finally awake, Mun Doha.”

The voice mimicked the voice of the cancer drug in my memory as best it could.

A bizarre timbre that’s so noisy it’s impossible to tell if it’s male or female.

It was a voice that struck fear into the hearer just by hearing it.

“Who are you? Do you know who I am and do this to me? My father──”

“I know, I know, that’s why I came all this way.”

He wriggles around, trying to remove the blindfold from his face but it didn’t take much to stop him.

“If you’re sure you can handle seeing my face, you can take it off.”

The warning that I would kill him if he saw my face was enough to make him stop.

“You, you, what are you, who are you……!?”

“You must have been quite disliked by the higher-ups, because I’ve gotten a request……I’m a villain who came to see what you’ve been up to lately.”

“No, the higher-ups? Villains?! What the hell did I do…….?”

He finally realizes the seriousness of the situation and starts to cry.

“I see you’ve been doing some interesting things with your acquaintances lately. How’s it going, did you make any money off of it?”

“Do, is it about money? If it is, I’ll give it to you. So please──”

“I don’t want money. I only want one thing.”

Saying that, I slowly put my foot on top of his head.

“Start with what you’re up to, and who’s involved. You have three minutes……to recite the details of what you’re doing.”

I use the force of my toe to crush his head.

“Ten seconds.”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Eventually, he started blurting out information that we couldn’t have gotten from our research.

Why he needed the money.

Details about the people involved in this.

“Okay, okay, okay! So help me. Please, please!”

“It’s been three minutes.”

“I told you, I told you!”

As promised, I put my feet up and turned to leave.

A loud bang shook the hotel, and red lights began to glow.

-It looks like one of the guards downstairs has woken up.

Well, it doesn’t matter, I’m done here anyway.

“Too bad. If only the alarm had gone off a little later.”

I take the Tommy gun out of the cube.

Inserting the silencer, I infuse aura into it and pull the trigger backward to strike fear into him.

-Click-click-click!

A heavy clang echoes around me.

It must have been terrifying for him, who could only rely on his hearing since his vision was blocked.

“Tell those around you.”

The sound of reloading coming from above and the sound of sirens covered the surroundings.

“My name is Dark Spirit.”

The cold sensation on his temple.

“I am the one you will fear for the rest of your life.”

With that, I hit him in the back of the head with my Tommy gun, knocking him out cold, and stormed out of the bedroom.

“How much time do I have?”

-The guards are currently boarding the elevator, they’ll be there in less than twenty seconds.

“Enough.”

Slowly, I stand in front of the window overlooking the surrounding landscape.

This is how the news of the arrival of ‘Dark Spirit’ in Korea will spread.

This event will cause panic among those who know about the existence of Dark Spirit.

“There it is!”

“Find him! Find him!”

The guards shout from the back.

I pull the trigger on the window, crack it open and throw myself out with aura wrapped around my body.

“He jumped!”

“Chase him!”

The black aura begins to plummet downward, leaving a lingering afterimage.

I feel a sense of floating throughout my body.

Just before I hit the ground at a tremendous speed, I activate a ‘chant’ and sink into the shadows of the building.

It was a technique that can cancel some fall damage.

I followed the shadows straight away, floating slowly through the shadows with the sirens from above as my music.

At the same time, I heard a voice in my ear.

-Well done. Master.

“You too. Get some rest today.”

-Yes. I’ll organize all the details and bring them to you tomorrow. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)co𝒎

“No, you can take your time. You’ve worked hard today.”

-……Thank you.

That’s the end of our communication for the day.

Well, I worked hard today too, so I’m going to go eat golden tangerine pie with the old man.
