I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 122:

Our club is called Familia and the vice president of our club is Jin-woo.

The reason is not that big.

If there is any danger to the club in my absence Jin-woo, who would protect the club at all costs, rather than Young-jae, who always makes rational decisions, was the right person for the job.

After all, Familia was created as an affiliate of the Corleone family, and he was the only one who knew how such a mafia organization works.

Thats why the contact information for our Familia representative was written in his defense. So it was no surprise that the student council contacted him.

Familia chat room

[Jin-woo: Look at this]

The photo he posted was a screenshot of his cell phone.

A letter with the words Thank you for your cooperation written on it.

In other words, there were dozens of lines saying that they were conducting an audit because there was a lot of talk about the facilities, equipment, and support of Familia from the students.

[Jin-woo: No, we havent even been a club for a semester yet. Its not like weve done anything to deserve an audit.]

[Se-ah: Didnt you do a lot?]

[Young-jae : Lol, even if it was me, Id be annoyed if there was a freshman club that trampled on the seniors]

[Jin-woo : Eh? Right.]

And it wasnt too hard to predict why.

Its a warning.

A warning about what happened at this freshman welcome.

And a warning about the determination that Choi Yeon and I had shown in the student council room.

I dont know if they realize who theyre doing this to.

First, I send a message to Haru, the clubs treasurer, asking if shes okay back home and attaching a picture of Jin-woo.

I received a reply a few moments later.

[Haru: Dont worry, Ill have the staff of the International Trade Club organize the materials by tomorrow.]

This was very reassuring, coming from Haru, not anyone else.

Of course, if there were any suspicious behavior after submitting the materials, I would take other measures.

But first, Ill have to calm down the chaotic chat.

[Me: Theres no need to be scared.]

[Se-ah: Of course not, its not like were committing any crimes.]

[Young-jae: Arent most of them bought with the presidents money anyway?]

[Me: I didnt spend a penny of the academys funding.]

[Jin-woo: What, youre just being silly. Then you can go to the academy tomorrow with a smile on your face]

[Me: ]

[Jin-woo : ]

With that, everything would be fine as long as Haru came tomorrow with documents proving that I hadnt used any of the grant money.

We knew that one of the most common weapons used by the student council is the audit, so it was very helpful to be prepared just in case.

They didnt think wed touch the money, did they?

What can they do? We didnt spend any of the money, let alone embezzle it in the first place, so they can go suck their fingers.

I was worried that I would have a new pile of work on the weekend when I decided to take it easy, but thankfully that didnt seem to be the case.

Of course, I feel sorry for the members of the International Trade Club who have to work on Sundays, butprobably wont have that much work since we didnt touch anything anyway.

I thought this was going to be the end of this debacle.

Youd better open the door before I force you out.

Come with a search warrant, not an audit warrant.

I didnt think this was going to be such a confrontation?

* * *

After a class like any other we gathered in the club room and were going over the papers Haru had sent us in preparation for the upcoming audit.

It was a very thin stack of papers, maybe three sheets at most.

Wow. Theres nothing to read since we dont actually use the club funding. Seriously, boss, whats the point of a student council meeting?

Jin-woo let out a huff of laughter and shook his head, fed up with the paperwork.

As I said in the chat, its more of a check and warning. The Academys student council is pretty authoritarian to begin with.

And as such, the pressure on us wouldnt be that great.

I was confident that the relationship between the student council and the Association was one of behind-the-scenes collaboration, so he wouldnt be able to express his feelings openly.

His personality wouldnt allow him to play dumb about it, and if he went behind my back, hed realize that I was backed by the Hanwol group, so he wouldnt do anything unreasonable.

Dont you think we should try it, just to give them a heads up?

Yeah, well, thats good for us.

Jin-woo nods as if he understands my explanation.

So when the student council people come in, well give them a little nudge, hand them some papers, and itll be over, so we can go about our business as usual, reviewing requests and training.

Well, if the boss says so, I guess. Then, I guess I shouldnt worry about it, huh?

Jin-woo chuckles as he stands up from his seat with a rueful expression.

I really feel like Im making a big deal out of this. I saw thatguy from the student council earlier and he was gathering a bunch of people, so I thought something was going to happen.

Huh?

What did you just say?

Huh? I thought something was going to explode.

No, before that.

Uh the senior club president is gathering people?

Yeah, that. How many people were there?

I dont know, but I think there were more than 10 seniors.

Seo Yeon-soo is organizing people? More than ten people?

Normally, two or three people would come and do a simple inspection, but I couldnt figure out why she was gathering that many people.

Why on earth would they do that?

Alert, alert, emergency!

Se-ah, who had been outside for a while, screamed in an urgent voice and rushed inside.

It seems that the person I met during the all-out war, the head of a certain club of the student council, is heading this way with a bunch of people!

Hes coming this way?

Yes! I mean, is this supposed to be an audit or something? That doesnt sound like what Ive been told.

It was clear that something was going on.

Jin-woo, why dont you follow me on the freight elevator upstairs. If they try to come in, I want you to stop them.

What? Now?

Now!

Quickly fixing the tie on my Academy uniform, I headed out of the storeroom and could hear several footsteps in the distance coming toward them.

Things are getting interesting, arent theyJin-woo.

Yep. Boss.

Whatever happens, dont let them in.

Huh? Its not like we have anything to hide or anything, right?

He seems to think that since our club hasnt done anything wrong, we should go out with dignity.

No, this is ego territory in the first place. If they come in, were going to lose, so stop them, okay?

I cant stand ego battles, but Ill stop them any way I can.

To my relief, Jin-woo smiled and loosened his knuckles.

Here we go.

In the distance, I see a group of men rushing toward us, led by a woman with tired eyes.

The red armbands on their arms and the sign of the Seoul Hero Academy painted on them.

I couldnt help but laugh out loud as I realized that the armband officially identified them as the Student Council of Seoul Hero Academy.

You came here with a plan?

With her hands in her pockets, Seo-yeon, the head of the clubs, silently made eye contact with me.

When she finally closed the distance between us to an arms length, the man next to her took a step forward and unfolded the paper in his hand.

This is the student councils club audit team. Weve received reports from other students that the club Familia has been making money through fraudulent means and using it to invest in club facilities.

Theyre spouting bullshit as if theyre some kind of justice.

This is a legitimate enforcement of the rights of the Academys student government, and you are hereby forewarned that any interference will result in unreasonable disciplinary action under the school code. Im sure youve received the warning I sent you earlier.

With that, he tucked the paper back into his pocket and spoke with a backward glance as if he were anything.

Id like to ask you to get out of the way and open the door for me, though.

Yeah?

I slowly walk toward him.

Bo, boss? Dont kill him!

Even if I had become Untouchable, I wasnt stupid enough to commit murder at the Academy since it would destroy everything I worked so hard to build.

So.

Stay out of my way.

I shove the guy in front of me aside and turn to Seo-yeon, who is watching me silently.

Its been a while since weve seen each other, Seo-yeon, the head of the Student Councils clubs.

Yeah. Its been a long time.

Is this an order from the student council president?

No, hes the only one who would do something like this.

The problem is, the guy I know wouldnt do something like this without some sort of incident.

There had to be something going on.

If youre done saying hello, will you please move out of the way, Id like to get this over with and get back to work.

Shaking her head in annoyance, Seo-yeon yawned and tried to walk past me. I moved to the side to block her movement.

What are they trying to do?

Even if youre from the student council, you cant go into the club without permission.

Didnt you hear? I told you that we have a formal audit warrant. Do you even realize that if you block the door like this, youll be subject to force? Youd better open the door before I do.

You think you can scare me into moving out of the way, Im pretty familiar with Academy rules.

No, I know them better than you, whove only been here a few years.

I pulled out my phone, opened the page with the Academys rules, and thrust the screen at Seo-yeon.

See? Academy rules. Article 2, section 1, regarding the rights of the student council and the right to audit clubs.

What it said wasnt hard to understand.

The Student Council may conduct audits of the Academys clubs, and clubs that are the subject of an audit are obligated to submit materials. However, if a club fails to provide the materials for the audit, the Student Council may apply for a search warrant through the Faculty Council, and only then may it forcibly enter the clubs premises.

In other words.

You want to get into our clubhouse, come with a search warrant, not an audit warrant.

This meant they couldnt step foot in the room without a search warrant.

Isnt that according to school rules?

The student council is supposed to lead by example.
