I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 122

Club name 'Familia'.

It's quite a surprising fact, but our club's vice president is Jinwoo.

The reason isn't that grand.

If a threat were to occur to the club in my absence, it was thought that Jinwoo, who would do anything to protect the club, was more suitable for the position than Youngje, who always makes rational decisions.

From the beginning, 'Familia' was established as a subordinate organization of the Calione Family, and Jinwoo, aside from me, knew the behavior patterns of such a mafia organization best.

That's why Jinwoo's name is listed as the main contact for our 'Familia'. So, it was natural for the Student Council's message to go to Jinwoo.

[Happy Familia Group Chat]

[Jinwoo: (photo)]

[Jinwoo: Take a look at this.]

The photo Jinwoo uploaded was a screenshot of his phone screen.

An official document with the words [Appreciation and Cooperation Letter] prominently written.

The content stated that due to numerous discussions among students about the facilities, equipment, and support of Familia, an audit would be conducted, detailed over several dozen lines.

[Jinwoo: What kind of audit is this when we haven't even finished a semester since starting the club? It's not like we did anything to get caught.]

[Seah: Didn't we do a lot?]

[Youngje: Seriously, if I were a senior, I'd be annoyed by a freshman club that steps on seniors. lol]

[Jinwoo: Huh? You're right.]

And predicting the reason wasn't that difficult.

"It's a warning, I guess."

A warning about what happened at the Freshman Welcome Party.

And a warning about the determination I and Choi Yeon showed in the student council room.

"Anyway, these young kids, their heads are full of nothing but snakes."

I wonder if they know who they're messing with.

First, I send a message to Haru, who's handling the club's finances, asking if she got home safely, and attach the photo Jinwoo sent.

And then, the reply comes shortly after.

[Lee Haru: You don't need to worry. We'll have the documents ready by tomorrow through the 'International Trade Club' employees.]

It's very reassuring to hear that from none other than Haru.

Of course, even if we submit the documents, if they pull any suspicious tricks, I was ready to take other measures.

Anyway, before that, I should calm down the chaotic group chat first.

[Me: No need to worry, nothing to be guilty about.]

[Seah: Right? We haven't committed any crimes.]

[Youngje: Isn't most of it bought with the president's personal money?]

[Me: Yeah, we haven't touched a single penny of the academy's support fund.]

[Jinwoo: What? Was I worried for nothing? So, can we go to the academy with a smile tomorrow?]

[Me: Sure.]

[Jinwoo: OK OK.]

With this, if Haru brings the documents proving we didn't use a single penny of the support fund tomorrow, everything will be resolved.

Knowing that one of the Student Council's frequently used weapons is 'audit', being prepared in advance was a big help.

They probably didn't expect us not to touch the support fund at all.

Since we haven't embezzled or even spent a single penny, what can they do? They can only suck their fingers.

I was worried that a new pile of work would come up on the weekend when I planned to rest, but fortunately, it seems that won't happen.

Of course, I feel sorry for the members of the 'International Trade Club' who have to work even on Sunday... but since we didn't touch anything, the workload won't be that heavy.

I thought this incident would end smoothly and uneventfully...

"It would be wise to open the door before they enforce it."

"Tell them to bring a search warrant, not an audit warrant."

I didn't expect it would come to a confrontation like this...

* * *

After finishing a class like any other day.

We gathered in the club room, checking the documents Haru sent before the upcoming audit.

Well, there were only about three sheets of paper, extremely thin.

"Wow. There's nothing to read since we didn't use the club's support fund. Boss, why is the Student Council even coming here?"

Jinwoo shook his head, letting out a hollow laugh at the lack of content in the documents.

"As we discussed in the chat, it's probably for intimidation or warning. The academy's Student Council has a strong authoritarian streak."

And because of that, the pressure on us won't be that great.

Since the relationship between the Student Council President and the Association is one of secret cooperation, they can't openly show their emotions.

Given his personality, he won't act petty because of what happened then, and if he investigated us, he would have realized I have the Hanwol Group behind me, so he won't do anything rash.

"Won't it end with just a bit of a warning?"

"Maybe? Well, that would be good for us."

Jinwoo nodded, understanding my explanation.

"So when the Student Council people come, we'll play along with the staring contest and hand over the documents. Then the situation will be over. So just review the requests and do the training as usual."

"If the boss says so, then so be it. Guess we don't have to worry then?"

Jinwoo, looking relieved, stood up from his seat, chuckling.

"I really felt like I was scared for nothing. Earlier, I saw that... the club manager from the Student Council? That senior 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 happen."

"No, before that."

"Uh... the club manager senior gathering people?"

"Yeah! That's it. How many people were there roughly?"

"At least ten seniors, I think?"

Seo Yeonsu gathering people? And more than ten of them?

For an audit, usually, two or three people come to do a simple investigation, but why are they gathering so many people? I couldn't get a sense of it.

Why on earth---

"Air raid alert! Air raid alert! Emergency! It's an emergency!"

At that moment, Seah, who had gone out briefly, rushed back into the club room screaming.

"That student council club manager we met during the all-out war is leading a crowd this way!"

"Coming this way?"

"Yes! Isn't an audit supposed to be conducted in a less hostile atmosphere? It feels different from what I heard..."

It was clear that something complex was going on.

"Jinwoo, follow me, and Seah and Youngje, take the freight elevator to the upper floor. Block them if they try to come in."

"Now?"

"Now!"

Quickly adjusting my academy uniform tie, I stepped out of the club room and could hear the footsteps of many people approaching from afar.

"Things are getting interesting, huh? ...Jinwoo."

"Yeah. Boss."

"No matter what, don't let them in."

"Huh? We don't have anything to hide or feel guilty about, right?"

It seems he thinks we should go out confidently since our club hasn't done anything wrong.

"No, this is about pride. If they get into the club room, we lose. So block them. Got it?"

"I can't stand a battle of pride... I'll do my best to block them."

Fortunately, it seems he understood my explanation as Jinwoo gave a slight smile and cracked his knuckles.

"They're here."

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

The red armband on their arms with the emblem of Seoul Hero Academy.

Confirming that it was the official armband of the 'Seoul Hero Academy's Student Council', I couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh.

"Seems like they came with determination, huh?"

'Club Manager Seo Yeonsu', approaching silently with her hands in her pockets, locking eyes with me.

As our distance closed to an arm's length, the man beside her stepped forward, unfolding a paper he was holding.

"We are the Student Council's Club Audit Team. We received a report that the club 'Familia' earned money through dishonest means and invested it in club facilities."

These guys, acting as if they were justice itself, spouting nonsense all day long.

"This is the rightful execution of the Student Council's authority. Any interference will result in disciplinary action according to the school rules. You should have received the audit notice message in advance."

Saying so, the guy who tucked the paper back into his pocket stood with his hands behind his back as if he were someone important and spoke.

"Please step aside and open the door for us."

"Really?"

I slowly approach the guy.

"B, Boss? You can't kill him!"

Kill him?

Even though I became untouchable, I am not the kind of person who would commit murder at the Academy.

If I did that, everything I've built up so far would certainly crumble.

So...

"Get out of the way, small fry."

Pushing aside the guy blocking my path, I head towards Seo Yeonsu, who is silently watching me.

"It's been a while. 'Student Council Club Manager' Seo Yeonsu, my senior."

"Yeah. It's been a while."

"Is this the Student Council President's order?"

"Do I really need to say it?"

No, even without saying it, there's no one else who would do such a thing.

The problem is, if it's the guy I know, he wouldn't go this far unless something major happened.

There must definitely be something going on.

"If you're done greeting, could you step aside? I want to finish this quickly and go back."

Seo Yeonsu shook her head as if she was tired of it all, and tried to pass me while yawning. I subtly moved to the side to block her.

"...What are you trying to do?"

"Even the Student Council can't just barge into the club booth, can they?"

"Didn't you hear? We officially brought the audit warrant through the Academy. Do you know that if you physically block us, you'll become a target for forced execution? It would be better to open the door before we enforce it."

"Did you think I'd step aside just because you said that so nicely? I'm quite familiar with the Academy's rules."

No, I know them better than you who've only been here for a few years.

I took out my phone, went to the page with the Academy's rules, and showed the screen to Seo Yeonsu.

"See? The Academy's rules. Article 2, Section 1, regarding the Student Council's rights and club audit rights."

The content written there was not particularly difficult.

"The Student Council can conduct audits on clubs within the Academy, and the clubs that are audited have the obligation to submit materials. However, if the audited club cannot submit the materials for the audit, the Student Council can apply for a search warrant through the Instructor's meeting, and only through this can they forcibly enter the audited club's booth."

In other words...

"You want to enter our club booth? Then bring a search warrant, not an audit warrant."

Without a search warrant, they can't set foot inside.

"Isn't that how the rules are?"

For the Student Council that should set an example.
