I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 75

I bit into the blanket due to the sudden pain in my shoulder.

"Ugh──!!"

Despite that, the flames continued to burn my shoulder.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not an ordinary fire but a flame created by my aura.

But why was a flame made of my aura burning my shoulder?

That question was answered by observing the shoulder where the flame had settled.

A black image began to slowly etch into my shoulder, as if it were being engraved with a laser.

As it gradually took shape, it revealed an image resembling the profile of a wolf.

Only after the shading was perfectly engraved did the red aura and pain disappear.

[Character [Yoojin Han Calione: Narrative Imprint] creation completed!]

The pain from just moments ago felt like a dream, as there was no longer any pain in my shoulder.

"......I'm going crazy, really."

The method of engraving the [Narrative Imprint] varied greatly for each character.

Whether power was imbued in an item they often used, or a pattern was engraved on their body, or it appeared in a form only they could see.

And among them, the rarest form was when a pattern or image was engraved directly onto the body.

Even then, most were engraved only for symbolic purposes, using patterns, lines, or characters.

It could be said that cases like this, where an image was engraved so intuitively, were extremely rare.

Yet such an image...... I had no idea what others would think upon seeing it.

"......Well, at least it's not an ordinary image, so that's a relief."

I opened my status window for the first time in a while to check my traits and skills.

《Narrative Imprint(1)》

Each time the user achieves an accomplishment, an image corresponding to the narrative is engraved on the body, recreating the narrative of that moment.

- Wolf (Night Hunter) : Under the moonlight, he is a wolf hunting his enemies. He fearlessly charges at opponents larger than himself, leading numerous packs as a hunter.

"......I like the meaning and effect."

Since the effects of the [Narrative Imprint] are not explicitly stated, one can only guess the effects, but from the content, it seems to include physical ability enhancement at night, and increased ability and charm against strong opponents.

"I should try using it later."

Yes, with such abilities being bestowed upon me, what's the big deal about an image?

Anyway, if anyone asks, I can just say it's an effect of a skill.

"And tomorrow is the day to learn the Aura Technique...... am I really becoming exceptionally strong?"

Originally, at this point, no matter how much effort one put in, obtaining a [Narrative Imprint] was impossible.

The very concept of a Narrative Imprint implies deep immersion in the character's narrative, naturally closely tied to playtime.

Yet, having created a character and engaged in a one-on-one battle with a villain of Blanca's caliber in less than a month in-game, and even unlocking the [Narrative Imprint]?

If I posted this on the community, I would definitely be branded as a bug user or told to stop faking, with all sorts of curses attached to the elaborate insults.

And all of this is probably thanks to the background and abilities of this body.

"......Yoojin Han Calione."

One of the greatest golden spoons in CS, inheriting Vito Calione's talent, blood, and abilities.

And a fool who couldn't utilize any of those abilities.

It was clear that the rich narrative of the Calione background had seeped into and enhanced the character.

One thing I've realized while living in this body is that if Yoojin Han Calione in the original story had been capable of normal thinking, the world of CS would have changed significantly.

"How could someone with this body only become such a low-level villain? It's incomprehensible."

Even in this short period, I've become this strong, so how much stronger will I get in the future...... I felt my excitement swell as I tried to calm down by slipping under the blanket and closing my eyes.

The night for enjoying sleep is very short.

* * *

"......So. You want me to wear this now?"

"Yes."

"This toy?"

"It's not a toy, it's an item actually used against villains."

"......But it doesn't have a pink color and bear stickers, does it?"

"Hey, you punk! I went through all the trouble to borrow it from someone I know, and you talk like that? This is what the original owner likes, what can I do? And! Pink is a man's color!"

"......Is the owner a man?"

"Of course, it's a woman."

"......Ha. And what's this about a man's color? Don't you know that saying such things casually is dangerous these days?"

"So, are you saying you don't want to wear it?"

Not wanting to cause trouble for someone who went through all that effort to get it for me, I couldn't say no.......

Currently, having flown all the way to Gangwon-do, I was deeply troubled over the bracelet in front of me.

Until I arrived in Gangwon-do and was told that a custom Aura Technique training method was prepared for me, it was fine.

Because I could feel his genuine desire to teach me.

......Until he told me to wear this damn pink bear bracelet, that is.

'Anti-Awakened Suppressor'

An item that can suppress the use of an Awakened's aura and mana, commonly used to arrest or restrain villains.

Even the country regulates this item strictly, yet this old man brought a bracelet with such bizarre customization, claiming it was borrowed from someone he knows.

Why would someone want to put bear stickers on a bracelet used to restrain villains? Was it intentionally done to make villains feel even more humiliated upon arrest? Such thoughts were brought to mind by this item.

"Shouldn't you at least tell me why I have to wear this?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

......Should I run away now?

Still, I decided to at least hear the reason for wearing it.

"The principle of this bracelet, you see. It makes the mana or aura clump inside your body so you can't use it freely. So, it increases the viscosity to prevent movement, that's what it does."

"So, does this mean that even you, sir, can't use your aura if you have this?"

"Oh, you rascal!"

Gwak Chunshik shouts loudly after hearing my words.

"With all my years of experience, do you think something like this could stop my aura? At my level, I can move my aura whether it solidifies or becomes as thin as water!"

"So, you want to put this on to make my aura clump together. Is that it?"

"Exactly! Do you understand now?"

He said my weakness was that I couldn't control the shape of the aura once it was released from my body.

And to fix that, he brought this bracelet that clumps aura together.

It makes sense, but the problem is...

"But I'm not like you, sir. If I wear this, won't I be unable to use my aura? How am I supposed to train then?"

"Ah, your blood will take care of that."

"......Pardon?"

"That wild aura you've shown. Ordinary Awakened Ones struggle to spread their aura, yet you spread it as easily as breathing. It's still a prediction, but wearing this won't stop you from using your aura."

So... I might be immune to the suppressor?

Listening to this story, it felt like my long-held doubts were being resolved.

Vito Calione, a national-level power.

Before he built his organization, a man who reached the top solely through his own strength, without any special master. The question of why the state couldn't stop Vito Calione.

It might also be due to the nature of Vito Calione's aura.

Ultimately, if they couldn't stop that aura, they would have to bear significant damage.

"......Do I just put this on my wrist?"

"Well, someone always puts it on for me."

"When you were arrested after causing trouble with villains?"

"Quiet! You brat! They deserved to die!"

"......I'll just put it on myself."

Steeling myself, I slowly pick up the bracelet and steel myself again.

This is just a normal bracelet.

This is just a normal bracelet.

This is just...

......

...

Hmm...

Oh...?

Huh?

"Why, why does your face look like that?"

"I'm surprised by the feeling, it's different than I expected."

"Different feeling?"

"Yes, how should I put it. It's more comfortable than I thought? But it also makes my body feel itchy."

"......I found it unpleasant."

Why does he seem so distrustful?

"Would you like to try it on, sir?"

"Do you think I'm crazy enough to put a suppressor on myself?"

......Then what am I supposed to be?

I tried to grab Gwak Chunshik by the collar but remembered he's an 'Aura Master', so I suppressed my anger.

Yes, he's stronger than me.

Endure it. I must endure...

"So, how does your aura feel?"

I check the aura inside my body after hearing Gwak Chunshik's words.

"It definitely feels like the aura is clumping a bit. How should I say it... it feels like what was liquid has turned into jelly?"

"But since you say it's like jelly, it seems you can move it."

"Yes."

Slowly, I draw out the aura with my hand, and a red aura rises above my palm.

However, instead of spreading instantly as usual, the aura slowly flickers like a flame.

Then, trying to change its shape little by little with my will, I felt the aura's form changing slightly.

"Hmm... it definitely seems to move."

"I see. For now, the priority is to keep moving the aura in this state to get the hang of it. Even though you're wearing a suppressor, it should be easier than starting from scratch, right?"

Feeling that his method was quite effective, he watched the aura continuously wriggling on my palm with a confident smile.

"So, is that all we're doing today?"

"No way. Wear the bracelet for the next few days. Controlling your aura is essential for learning aura techniques, so it will be very helpful."

......Wear this during my daily life?

Really?
