Became the Academy Mafia Episode 23
“Is the food at the Academy really this delicious? “I feel like I ate until my stomach exploded!”
Walking out after eating at a restaurant.
Kim Se-ah smiles while stroking her stomach as if she is satisfied.
“You’re going to keep eating anyway, so why are you so desperate to eat?”
Jin-woo laughs at that and makes fun of Se-ah. At this, Se-ah glares at Jin-woo.
“He said he only had to eat dessert to get his money’s worth, but he only ate cake!”
“It’s the most delicious, so what should I do!”
The two people suddenly started arguing.
I thought it was fortunate that we became friends quickly, perhaps because he followed me around all day and went through various things.
“Director, first of all, as you said, the ledger of the ‘Fund Investment Club’ was uploaded to the school community. “He’s already saying he’s going to sue me and kill me. Isn’t this a joke?”
The Young Emperor burst into laughter as he reported on the things I had asked him to do before the sparring.
“I asked other classmates while eating, and it seems that all the new students who were supposed to join today also canceled their membership. The atmosphere there… … “You know even if I don’t say it, right?”
“of course.”
I could guess it without even having to say it.
If this continues, the ‘Fund Investment Club’ will not only have to pay a huge amount of compensation, but will also be stigmatized as a club with a record of embezzling investors’ money.
And it was clear that club members who could not handle this kind of attention would begin to leave the club one by one, and in the end, only the club manager would be responsible for all of this.
In other words, the ‘fund investment club’ was practically over.
“I never thought it was possible to completely disintegrate a real gold club in one day. Where on earth did you get the ledger of corruption?”
If you think about it, it was a natural question.
What played the biggest role in this incident was the ‘ledger’ that contained their corruption.
“Through connections.”
“Networking?”
“Yeah, it wasn’t difficult.”
Dirty money ends up coming into the back alleys for laundering.
In that process, going through our Caglione was an unavoidable step.
“By the way, glasses. “Why are you suddenly calling me manager?”
“… … Because it’s the Young Emperor. Anyway, is that what you were curious about?”
When I nod my head in response to his question, he speaks as if it is no big deal.
“Because I knew it would happen no matter what.”
“hmm?”
“After hearing your plan, I was sure that the club would be created. “If this continues, I will soon become the club’s manager, so I called you manager in advance.”
“… … is it.”
In other words, it means that he completely trusted me. The corner of my mouth goes up without me realizing it when I see Youngje’s appearance.
“Well, the manager doesn’t have a bad tone either.”
As I turn and walk towards another direction, I hear Youngje’s voice coming from behind.
“Director. “The classroom is over there?”
“I have a place to stop by.”
“Where to stop? ah.”
Youngje soon realized that the direction I was walking towards was where the club hall was, and nodded.
“The manager is really busy too.”
“You have to get used to it.”
When I arrived at the club meeting room, leaving behind the three people who were getting further and further away, I headed straight to the ‘International Trade Club’ on the 4th floor where Lee Ha-ru was located.
This time, the staff bowed their heads towards me as I arrived at the clubroom without any restraint.
“Is the manager inside?”
When I asked the employees who had their heads down, one of them opened his mouth.
“The manager is eating inside. “You told me in advance that when Yujin Han comes to visit, I’ll show you around right away, so it’s okay for you to go in now.”
I guess he thought I would come during lunch time.
As I entered the manager’s office under the guidance of a staff member, I saw Lee Ha-ru sitting at his desk, eating a sandwich and working hard to sign off on documents.
“You seem very busy.”
As I closed the door and approached where Haru was, she was chewing a sandwich. She swallowed it carefully and spoke.
“Yes, I heard that a large number of other clubs that signed up with the ‘Fund Investment Club’ left before lunch, so I apologize for not being able to greet you properly. “I will finish it as quickly as possible.”
“It doesn’t matter if you take it slow.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
She bowed her head briefly towards me and began chewing her sandwich intently and looking at the documents.
Eyes that examine the contents of the document without wavering even an inch, and pure white cheeks that are swollen and constantly moving.
As I watched her work in a daze, it wasn’t long before she stood up, swallowing the last sandwich she had put in her mouth.
“Whew. “I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”
“hmm? “It ended faster than I thought.”
“Thanks for your consideration.”
Lee Ha-ru thanks me and politely sits across from me.
As I stayed still with my legs crossed, Lee Haru opened the paper she was holding in her hand and started talking.
“Currently, the documents submitted against the ‘Fund Investment Club’ are being reviewed by the student council. It seems that there are other clubs targeting the already weakened ‘Fund Investment Club’, but since we have already applied for the club competition, we will not be lost to other clubs.”
“That actually means their downfall.”
“Exactly. If all goes according to plan, a club war will be declared within today, and at the same time, the ‘Fund Investment Club’ will admit defeat and be absorbed into our side.”
In other words, does this mean that the situation is already over?
“Good job.”
“The praise is too much for me, I just put a spoon on the table you prepared.”

Lee Ha-ru, who still spoke in a humble manner, lowered her head.
And then there was the awkward silence.
“then… … “What do you think about the offer I gave you?”
He carefully opens up about the reason why he came to visit Lee Ha-ru, which was a bit difficult to bring up right away.
Then, Lee Ha-ru’s eyes, which had been looking at the documents until now, turned towards me.
“Are you talking about the confession you made during the day?”
“… … “I wonder if the joke from back then continues to this day.”
“Recently, I was told by other club members to at least tell a joke.”
Anyway, that’s true.
Each and every shot of this joke was fatal to me.
really… … I felt fortunate to have [Trait: Hitman].
“You know, it might be good for you to tell a joke sometimes. Research shows that insensitive leaders have a hard time gaining the trust of their colleagues.”
There are such research results… … ?
“Where on earth do they study something like that?
“This is the Seoul Hero Academy Psychology Club.”
“… … “Then it might be worth a reference.”
If this is the result of a study conducted by a club full of crazy people, it must be true.
I thought it would be good to refer to it.
“So, why do you keep talking instead of answering my question?”
Lee Ha-ru’s body suddenly stopped after hearing my question.
Her pupils suddenly begin to tremble violently. The paper in her hand was already starting to make a fuss.
“Well, that’s… … peel.”
“hmm?”
The voice was so quiet that I couldn’t hear it properly.
When she realized that I didn’t hear her, she lowered her head.
Soon, I hear her voice a little louder than before.
“Aren’t you embarrassed…? … . To answer the question, “Be mine…” … .”
“what?”
I flinch and my body trembles at Lee Ha-ru’s completely unexpected reaction.
Then her body began to tremble. She looked up and saw that her eyes were narrowed, as if she was holding back her laughter, and that she was covering her mouth with her hand.
“This too is a joke.”
“… … “If I do more, I’ll really lose my temper.”
“I’m glad this joke seems to have worked at least a little.”
It felt strange to see her smiling more often than when I first saw her.
Has she ever shown such a variety of facial expressions in a game? Apparently, he was the kind of character who always received customers with an expressionless face… … .
“young master?”
Looking at this, who would think it was Lee Ha-ru?
It makes me smile. Then, Haru suddenly turns his head.
“hmm? “Why do you do that?”
“… … “You know how to tell a joke, too.”
“joke?”
“… … “There is such a thing.”
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
Did I make some mistake? When you are thinking about that and wondering how to react.
“Then, I will now give you the answer to your question.”
Is it because we have come back to the main topic?
Iharu’s expression changed to a businesslike one again, and he got up from his seat and knelt down on one knee in front of me.
“Iharu from the Inomiya Group. “I pledged allegiance to Caglione, then and now.”
But, she started crying.
“Right now, the only person in front of me is Caglione’s eldest son and only heir. I would like to offer my loyalty to Master Eugene Han Caglione. “Please, can you accept it?”
Declaration of formal family.
There was no need for words to express her loyalty. All she has to do is quietly hold out her hand.
Lee Ha-ru, who felt my hand approaching her, quietly kisses the ‘heir’s ring’ that her father gave her.
“One day, your enemy will become my enemy. Those who try to harm you will be destroyed by My Hand.”
And, the price for being with me wasn’t that big.
“You just need to build a new friendship with me. “What do you think? Isn’t the condition too good for the price?”
When she finished speaking, she slowly raised her head and looked at my face.
“Really, you kind of got the joke.”
“Then that’s a good thing.”
“As you said, I and the ‘International Trade Club’ will be with you.”
When I turned over my outstretched hand and showed my palm, she naturally grabbed my hand and stood up.
Then I turned my head and looked at the current time for a moment.
“It looks like we have some time left. Would you like some tea?”
“Chill…” … .”
There is still quite a bit of time left before culture begins.
Now, when I was about to relax a little and have a quick chat with Lee Ha-ru, a picture that looked like a letter envelope appeared in the corner of my vision and started blinking.
“young master?”
“for a moment.”
When you think of opening the envelope of a letter floating in the corner of your vision, the contents of the message are printed before your eyes.
[Instructor Ji Soo-hyeon: Club screening is over. Come to the teacher’s office right now.]
How long has it been since you said you were going to the student council and the results have already come out?
I had that question, but Ji Soo-hyun wasn’t the type of person to make jokes about things like this.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll have tea next time. “Because something urgent came to mind.”
“Urgent… … is it?”
For a moment, I thought her eyes were trembling.
“In that case, we will have no choice but to postpone it until later. “Our ‘International Trade Club’ will look forward to your visit at any time.”
As I stood up, Lee Haru bowed towards me. I leave her behind and quickly walk towards her academy’s main building, where her staff room is.
“What on earth did the student council do that the screening results came out so quickly?”
I started to have an uneasy feeling about something.
