Became the Academy Mafia Episode 308
What came along with the eerie voice was pitch-black darkness of unknown depth.
At first, I thought I had simply lost my vision. Because that was the only way to explain the sudden blackout of vision.
But that wasn’t everything.
I tried moving my arm.
… … Did it move? I’m sure I moved my arm, but I don’t feel anything. Stroke your arm with your other hand.
No, did your hands even move? Are you touching my hand now?
I’m definitely thinking, but I can’t feel my body moving at all. As if my body doesn’t exist.
What came next was fear.
Am I really breathing right now? If you scream, will you be heard? No, I don’t hear any sound.
I can’t even hear it─
I can’t even see─
I can’t even feel it─
There are only thoughts.
Can we say this exists?
Just when I was starting to fade away from even thinking about it──
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
Light began to appear again.
“Sigh… … ! Sigh… … ! Sigh… … !”
The first thing I noticed was the damp stone floor.
When you are frantically trying to figure out the current situation.
Took.
Water fell from somewhere and once again wet the floor.
water? I’m sure there wasn’t anything like water until just now.
The moment I frantically looked around.
“… … what?”
She realized that all this was coming from her own eyes and mouth.
* * *
Sasha stands up immediately after finishing training. The holding time is approximately… … .
“3 minutes? “I lasted longer than I thought.”
-I thought it was about 30 seconds, but it turns out he was stronger than I thought.
Sasha looks at us in confusion as we look at the time and talk.
“young master. Now this… … .”
“The power of the Black Hand. It is blackout. It’s the ability to block the opponent’s five senses. To learn the skills of a dark spirit, resistance to darkness is fundamentally required.”
The fear of suddenly losing one’s senses is beyond imagination. If you control it wrongly, your mind will collapse in an instant.
In some ways, this training method can be seen as harsh.
but.
“Do you think it’s too much?”
Sasha is breathing heavily while wiping away the bodily fluid from the corner of her mouth. She answered my question by shaking her head.
“… … no. “If we were enemies, we wouldn’t even have given you that time.”
Did you say you worked as a mercenary in the past? Perhaps that’s why the mindset was clearly different.
however… … .
“Black hand. “Can I not stop that?”
-If that is… … Are you talking about Jinwoo Vivalt?
The guy is still rolling around on the floor and screaming.
“Neggeeeeeeek!” Nguaaaaaaaa! Argh! evil! Why can’t I hear anything? “I remember you~ my past love~~~”
No, why are you singing in that situation?
“Isn’t that already crazy?”
When I asked out of genuine concern, a black hand waved my hand.
-no. My sense is that my mind hasn’t collapsed yet. just… … That’s probably the kind of person he was originally.
“… … “That?”
Now, he just lies down and stays still. What was even funnier was that his chest was moving up and down evenly.
“Is that really sleeping?”
-… … It seems like I’m sleeping.
How on earth has this person’s mental world been messed up?
In fact, Sasha is looking at Jinwoo with an expression that makes no sense.
“Now that, that… … Jinwoo Vivalt is having the same experience as me. Is this it?”
-First of all, yes. I’m surprised because this is my first time experiencing something like this.
Really, should I say this is amazing… … .
“Black hand. “Wake me up slowly.”
-Yes, master.”
As soon as the black hand snapped its fingers, Jinwoo’s body, which was lying down, bounced up like a spring.
“The floor is cold! what! what! what? “Huh?”
Speaking as someone who has also experienced the blackout of the Black Hand, that reaction was truly strange.
“Young Boss! What did you just say? “It felt like my body had suddenly disappeared.”
I never thought that the first thing I would ask as soon as I looked at myself was that question.
“It is the power of the Black Hand.”
“Black hand? Ah, you Don. “I was also surprised because I suddenly thought something was wrong with my body.”

Jinwoo smiles and scratches his head as if it was no big deal.
“Normally, you would feel extreme fear or experience mental confusion, but how on earth did you manage to stay sane?”
“yes? That? uh… … smell? “I just focused on the smell.”
“… … smell?”
“Yes, something like that. All my other senses were gone, but I could still smell the familiar smell of dirt. So I was focusing on that.”
At that answer, Latte looked at me as if she was surprised and whispered.
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it? Jinwoo Vivalt. “So you’re saying he’s the one chosen by the master?”
No, I didn’t know he would do that either.
I turned my head and looked at the black hand who was supervising this test.
“Is that possible?”
-Yes, they definitely didn’t remove the sense of smell. But I didn’t expect to focus all my senses on that… … .
Ha, I never thought Jinwoo would have this kind of talent.
Is he really an assassin? Maybe it was the result of separate training in the Vivalt family.
“… … “Master, I have a question.”
Then suddenly Sasha called me.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I don’t know if I can ask this, but by any chance, Master, have you experienced this as well?”
“Is this the training you just did?”
Sasha nods to my question.
“… … I did. However, the results were not as meaningful as expected.”
“The fact that it was not a significant result means… … ?”
“I tried blocking out all my senses… … “It took a moment and then it broke right away.”
“… … yes? “It’s broken, is it a magic trick?”
“okay.”
Due to the strong status abnormality resistance of [Dragon Slayer], the darkness spell was forcibly destroyed.
Thanks to the trait [Hitman], which allows him to always remain calm, there was virtually no mental damage.
Well, I guess it just felt like someone suddenly turned off the light.
“So the black hand. “Are these enough?”
Returning to the main topic, I asked whether these two people could learn the skills of the dark spirit.
-Yes, I think children who can endure this much will be able to learn it well.
“Thank goodness.”
Until now, we had created a curriculum to learn the secret techniques of the dark spirits, but there were only a few people who could learn them.
Dark resistance is the minimum condition to learn the secret technique.
This was because there were fewer people than expected who were properly equipped with this.
To be exact, out of the dozens of people who applied this time, only a handful can be counted.
Well, we all learned the basic skills.
“Then, Black Hand, please ask for it right away.”
As I said that and stood next to Jinwoo, Sasha and Jinwoo turned their heads towards me.
“W-Young Boss is also learning together?”
“Are you listening too, Master?”
Why are they like this?
“Isn’t it obvious?”
This is an opportunity that I somehow created, so of course I have to learn as well.
So we stood in front of the black hand. He glanced around once, nodded his head, rolled up his sleeves, and showed us his hands.
-First of all, in order to deal with darkness, the most important thing is to feel it. You’ll all be able to feel the mana in the air, so it’ll be a little easier.
“What exactly is important about feeling the darkness?”
Sasha is the first to raise her hand and ask a question, perhaps because her pride has been hurt by the fact that she was pushed out by Jinwoo.
-It’s simpler than you think. touch the fire touch the dirt Pump up water. I sweep the wind with my palms. All you have to do is ‘feel’ the darkness in the same way.
Since it is not a tangible subject, it is a somewhat abstract story.
It’s easier said than done, but not everyone can do it.
If everyone could feel darkness that way, this world would already be full of elementalists.
In fact, the other children were struggling to understand what was being said.
of course.
“Is this what it feels like?”
-!!
Although it didn’t apply to me.
I have already dealt with countless darknesses. Is it because they not only used black radish made from the core of dark medicine for a long time, but also used techniques such as black salt, dark rock, and yeongbo as if they were eating rice?
As soon as you become aware of it, black energy begins to gather in your palm.
A little different from Mana, I felt something lukewarm, somewhere between cold and warm.
-As expected, you are special!
The black hand looked at the pitch-black smoke wafting above my hand and let out a voice mixed with exclamation.
-This must be your first time encountering darkness, and what an outstanding affinity you have. If things continue like this, I will quickly reach the level of a low-level spirit.
I thought he was pretty good, but is he still at the level of a low-level spirit?
But once I got a feel for it, it didn’t seem that difficult to achieve.
-Now, let others try it too. If it’s really difficult, I’ll help guide you through the darkness.
The black hand leaves behind me, the first one to succeed, and approaches the other children and begins to teach them how to operate darkness.
As I looked at the two people working hard with their fingers with his help, I smiled in satisfaction behind my mask.
* * *
A sparring hall where numerous spirits and organization members train within Darkness.
In the middle, a man and a woman were facing each other, engaged in a heated battle of nerves.
Jin-Woo, who has a confident expression on his face, and Sasha, who is staring at him with a cold, hard face.
“I was already trying to sort out my ranking, but this opportunity presented itself. Jinwoo Vivalt.”
“You thought that too? “Isn’t this an amazing coincidence?”
And between the two, a pitch-black sword was stuck.
‘Dark Sword’, a weapon reforged by dark spirits.
This was the cause of this conflict.
It started with a very simple word.
A black hand prepared a plan for the two who could not feel the darkness even after a long time.
-‘I guess it’s hard to get a feel for it with bare hands, so I’ll give you a little help.’
He pulled out the sword at his waist.
-‘This is the ‘dark sword’ used by our dark spirits. As it is a sword smelted in the dark using darkness, it will be a great help in increasing affinity. I’m going to give you this sword, so why don’t you take turns using it?’
One sword, two people.
Of course, it seems like they would have fought to get this sword first, but… … Surprisingly, the fight broke out in a different direction.
‘You write first. ‘I think it’ll be fine without me.’
Jinwoo made the first concession.
It seemed like he was trying to be considerate of Sasha as he was weak against beautiful women, but the problem was that she, who was burning with opposition to Jinwoo, misinterpreted it.
maybe… … It seems that he understood, ‘I don’t need anything like this, so you, you idiot, can just use it.’
And of course, the confrontation between Jinwoo, who refused, and Sasha, who eventually exploded, was a success.
Really.
“… … “They’re not even kids, what on earth are they doing?”
As I was looking at that and sighing, Latte, who was standing next to me, smiled and said.
“Young kids, that’s right. Well, thanks to you, the atmosphere in the village has become incredibly lively, right?”
As she said, the surroundings were already like a party.
-The two humans of Caglione fight!
-How do members of the Calyone organization fight?
-It’s been a while since we fought!!
Is it because this is my first time seeing a fight between humans? With the spirits looking on with great anticipation.
“Newcomers are joining?”
“I heard one of you is a master from the Bivalt family?”
“It would be fun to have a duel between the guys you marked, right?”
Even the organization members who came out to support.
The board was truly laid out properly.
I can’t help it. Yes, this is how it happened.
“We have no choice but to do it Caglione’s way.”
In my case, I also took the position by making Blunty.
It has long been said that the most certain means of proving Caglione’s rank is power.
As the superior of the two, I have to take responsibility for this kind of confrontation and judge it.
It was never, absolutely not because I was curious about the outcome of who would win if two people fought.
No, really.
