Became the Academy Mafia Episode 218
Inside the cathedral in Palermo, where everyone has left.
The inside was dyed red as the light of the setting sun streamed in.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man is sitting blankly looking at the cross.
“… … “It’s ridiculous.”
He stroked the ring on his finger, recalling the events that had just happened.
“Look.”
“yes. “Don Medici.”
The answer given to a question asked into the sky.
Clearly, there was another man sitting in this place where only Medici had existed until a moment ago.
“That kid from a little while ago. “What do you think of Calyone Jr.?”
A man in a suit who suddenly appeared, listened to Medici’s question, paused for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“It’s a monster.”
“Hoo. “A monster?”
He knew that this was a difficult assessment to come out of his mouth, so he smiled and turned his head as if it was fun.
“Did you think that too?”
“Because I thought it didn’t make sense to make such actions and judgments at that age in the first place.”
As the man said that, he recalled the events that had just happened.
Even though it is a cathedral, he has the audacity to enter the middle of enemy territory. He is meticulous enough to bring a ‘Midsommar Pass’ so that he can respond at any time if he is in danger. And even in that situation, he takes initiative and moves.
“Don’t you look just like my father?”
“… … yes. That’s why we become even more cautious.”
Medici nods at the man’s evaluation.
“How on earth do you know about the fire giant?” … .”
The fact that the Medici family was targeting the fire giant was a top secret known only to a few people involved.
Following this, for complete security, they tried to hide the information as much as possible by giving plausible reasons, but Eugene Han Caglione knew the contents as if he already knew everything.
Cooing─.
Medici clenched his fist and opened his mouth.
“How much do you think he knows?”
“… … When considering the attitude or behavior. “I guess he probably knows everything.”
“okay… … That’s right… … “You creepy bastard.”
The child clearly answered that Calyone’s intelligence department was not aware of this fact.
What this means is that his own personal intelligence department exists separately, not within Caglione.
“So you’ve already created an organization that can easily defeat Caglione’s intelligence department…? … !”
And at that age?
Medici shook his hands, feeling the cold sweat flowing without his knowledge.
“… … “It’s ridiculous.”
He thinks of an organization that doesn’t exist yet and gives orders to the man.
“So that we can focus more on security from now on. “If anyone behaves suspiciously or fails to ensure security, they can be punished immediately.”
“… … “I will follow the money’s orders.”
A man who responds to Medici’s words and slowly loses his shape as if he is sinking into the shadows.
Medici, who looked at the cathedral now completely red, stood up and looked at the statue of a saint in front of him.
“Please forgive us for the blood we have shed and grant us peace──.”
* * *
After completing amicable negotiations with Medici.
As I walked back to the original cabin with light steps, I saw two people sitting at the table with serious expressions.
“uh… … I’m home?”
When I spoke first in an indescribably heavy atmosphere, the two people turned their gaze towards me and stood up.
“Oh, you’re here?!”
“What happened! “Are you feeling okay?”
The two people’s reaction was quite intense, probably because they had been waiting for me all along.
“The job was done well. “Just calm down first.”
After calming the two down and sitting down on the empty chair, the two started to fidget.
“So what did Medici say? “You said you would reduce my debt?”
“You said it was resolved well… … ? “It’s okay, right?”
Still, it seems that it was not easy to calm down as the matter was an issue.
He smiled brightly at the sight of the two people and started talking about the deal he had with Medici.
“I plan to participate in the ongoing project of the Medici family. I decided to participate there as a mercenary and help the Medici family. In compensation for this, we made a deal to not only cancel the Maestro’s debt, but also receive a small amount of compensation.”
Of course, I left out everything about the fire giant.
As it was still treated as confidential information within Medici, there was no need for the two to know.
No, rather, I decided that it would be better not to know as there might be some retaliation if I found out.
There is a saying that curiosity kills the cat.
“… … Did they really accept that offer? Even giving up an astronomical amount of money?”
However, he reacts by saying he doesn’t believe it easily.
It was a natural reaction.
Because what had been bothering him until now had simply disappeared like this.
but.
“It’s not anyone else, it’s me, isn’t it? “I’m a little embarrassed to say it with my own mouth, but I’m not a mercenary that can be easily obtained even if you pay money.”
“Huh.”

Well, to be precise, it has become a business that leaves me with a lot of money thanks to it.
We go on an attack with the Medici family.
In other words, it is no different from doing something that will eventually be done anyway, with the support of the Medici family.
“this… … I don’t even know what to say. “So, what happens next?”
“First of all, right now, they won’t come to visit the elderly because of their debt situation. You will also be able to use the workshop in the village again. However, the point at which the elder’s debt disappears is when I have completed the request, so I am not yet completely free.”
They weren’t stupid.
Now, the Maestro’s debt is not a means for their profit, but a kind of leash to make me keep my promise.
That’s how important the fire giant is to them.
But they probably don’t know yet. That the leash would actually be pointed towards them.
“Medici’s request… … I once again owe Caglione a great debt… … .”
Ludvio was a human being who properly knew the laws of this world.
In this world, favor becomes a debt, and that debt becomes a fate that one must one day repay.
That’s why he was smiling with a lighthearted yet bittersweet smile.
“About that, Maestro.”
So I decided to lighten his burden a little.
“For this raid, I would appreciate it if you could refresh these shoes.”
I said that and placed the black radish that I had put in a cube before coming here on the table.
The shoes are placed gently on the table, scattering a subtle black mist.
“… … This. “Is it a relic?”
As a result, his voice changes as he looks at the black radish with clear eyes, which is significantly different from just before.
“That’s right. The name of these shoes is Heukmu (黑霧). “These are the shoes I currently use.”
“Can I take a look at it for a moment?”
“sure.”
With my permission, he slowly reached towards the black radish and lifted his shoe.
He looks here and there with his delicate and gentle hands, as if he were examining a newborn baby.
That look was the most serious look Ludvio had ever seen.
“… … “It’s beautiful.”
The first word out of his mouth was praise.
“Not only the joints but also the materials used can be said to be of high quality. “If you think about the fact that it is a relic, it is surprising who put a narrative into this object.”
He put down the black radish again, slowly took a heated breath as if to dissipate his excitement, and looked at me.
“So how do you want me to touch this child?”
It means that you will listen to my request.
I smiled and started taking out the ingredients I had put in the cube one by one and placing them next to the black radish.
Tuk.
Tuk.
Tuk.

“For now, I have prepared enough materials for strengthening, but what about it?”
I looked at him as I took out all the ingredients I had prepared for this training.
“───!”
With his mouth wide open, he has the most surprised expression I’ve ever seen.
“This, this, this, this, this.”
I can’t even express how shocked I am.
“Ha, grandpa? grandfather? “Why are you doing this?”
Elena, embarrassed as if she didn’t understand such a reaction, grabbed Ludvio’s body and shook it.
He closed his eyes tightly once, as if he had finally come to his senses.
“Wow, where on earth did you get these?! “I have been a maestro for decades, but this is the first time I have seen such materials in one place!”
Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand his reaction.
As far as I know, ‘High-Level Dark Spirit’s Essence’ is an item that has never even appeared on the market during this period, and ‘Thunder God’s Stone’ is also an item that is not properly sold on the market.
‘The Scales of the Evil Dragon’ is a fresh material that has just been caught, so it will probably be the world’s first to be released this time.
“Grandpa, what on earth is this that makes you so surprised?”
She looked at the scales in front of her and slowly stretched out her hand.
“that. “It is the scale of the evil dragon Fafnir.”
“yes yes?! “Well, if it’s Fafnir, it’s the dragon that almost destroyed an island a long time ago!”
“okay. “I recently heard that the Vatican succeeded in subduing Fafnir, but who would have thought that the by-product would come from here?”
The credit for subduing Fafnir that was given to the Jeju Diocese seems to have already spread here.
The Vatican seemed to have used this news for their own propaganda.
“I also participated in that raid. It’s a by-product from there, so you don’t have to worry about the source. so… … Would you like to do so?”
He is currently the most outstanding shoe craftsman I know.
There was no other craftsman who could handle materials like this right now.
“I hope you will unleash the Maestro’s creativity to the fullest.”
“after.”
He sighed at my words, stood up, picked up the bottle of wine on the corner of the table, and began to drink it.
Gulp- Gulp- Gulp- Gulp-
The ever-moving Mokuldae and the ever-decreasing number of wines.
He drank a bottle in an instant, wiped his mouth and looked at me.
“… … I’ve put down the hammer and leather for a long time. I lament the reality that confronts me now. “I thought my desire to be a craftsman had already disappeared.”
bang! He puts down the wine bottle making a sound and thumps his chest.
“by the way. That’s not it. After hearing your words and seeing the items placed here, that desire began to stir. membrane… … It burned so hot it felt like it was burning my heart! Even wine can’t extinguish this heat! “It’s like I want to pick up a hammer and a needle right now.”
“… … grandfather.”
As Elena looked at Ludvio like that, her eyes began to turn moist.
“Let me give it a try. “You are the one who ignited the heart of an old man who was dying. How could I refuse your request!”
Ludvio said that and stood up, immediately putting on the coat that was hanging on the chair.
“First, I have to go down to the village and clean the workshop. Elena, can you help me a little?”
“… … yes grandfather!”
Unlike what I’ve seen before, he looks very passionate.
Seeing that, I smiled and stood up.
“Let’s go together. “I will help.”
It’s about making my own babies, so of course I should help out, right?
