Chapter 53

Chapter 53

The rules of all-out war are simple: you fight with everything you’ve got.

Number of people? Doesn’t matter. Equipment? Doesn’t matter.

It’s just an event that pits clubs against each other at full strength.

[Before the Familia vs. Ranger battle begins, members of each club must be escorted onto the field by their respective leaders]

And because it’s such a big event, inevitably, other students will gather, but.......the club leaders have agreed not to have any spectators, so this duel will happen without them.

There was a woman in the corner who claimed to be a club advisor and said something like, “Let’s kill each other from now on,” but I decided to ignore her because I thought it would be stressful to pay attention to every single one of them.......

The outside field of the Academy can only be described as massive.

The field was the size of a soccer stadium, if not bigger.

When the field was activated and the spatial magic was triggered, it would be at least ten times its current size.

“Wow, boss, look at that. I didn’t realize it before, but it looks like they’ve managed to squeeze in all the new students this time.”

Jin-woo muttered as he looked at the members of the Ranger Club.

“That’s right, I can recognize the faces of the kids who were interns when I infiltrated them.”

If what Young-jae said was true, it meant that the kids they had been using as interns had all been recruited to fight against us.

Only members of the club could participate in an all-out war.

“What’s the big deal? If Young-jae is right, they’ve only joined them as interns without proper training, and considering what we’ve trained for......Ugh, there’s no way we can lose.”

Se-ah said as she recalled the training she had gone through.

I nodded in agreement with her and asked her how the training had changed her, and she said that it was a big change because she could now catch a bug with her bare hands.

[The field is randomly selected and the all-out battle begins at the same time as the change].

[Okay, let’s start the field draw].

At the same time, a huge electronic board appears on the ceiling of the field, and the letters begin to move rapidly until they are unrecognizable, accompanied by cheerful music.

[~♬ ~♪]

Se-ah mumbles in disbelief at the sight.

“What kind of field lottery is this?”

I agree with her.

Just then, the writing on the electronic board, which had been spinning along with the song, began to slow down and the words appeared.

[Incheon Port]

[The field for this all-out war has been selected as Incheon Port]

It was an eerily familiar place to me, having dealt with the Triads there not too long ago.

I’m lucky in this area, really.

The arena was bathed in a pure white light and began to change as a familiar smell of salt and dampness was felt.

When the glow disappeared completely, the Incheon harbor, with its rows of containers and warehouses, was revealed.

“Thank goodness we got a place with a lot of obstacles.”

“Yeah. Let’s stick to the original plan.”

Before we were transported to our respective camps, the guy who had been glaring at us from earlier spoke up.

“It’ll be over in the blink of an eye, so what’s the point of planning for so long?”

A member of the Ranger Club giggled and sneered at us.

Judging by his equipment, he must be a mage from the Ranger Club.

“Yeah, a guy like you is squinting his eyes to save his own ass, and I’m a nice, handsome guy, so why don’t you do me a favor......and wait for me, because I’m going to drive a knife through your forehead before you can even blink.”

Then, Jin-woo makes a throat-slashing gesture with his thumb, and the guy breaks his smirk and stares at him blankly.

“You’re joking, I hope you’re joking, because I’ll find you in no time.”

“Tsk.”

He spits once on the ground and turns away, unable to resist Jin-woo’s taunts.

At the same time, the landscape around us shifted as a pure white glow surrounded us.

Seo Yeon-soo’s voice came from the loudspeaker as soon as both sides were sent.

[The victory condition is the elimination of all the opponents or the elimination of the leader, and if the leader is eliminated, all the remaining members will also be eliminated]

I’ve never forgotten the message that came to mind when I ascended the ranks of Corleone, making Famiglia my family and the Academy my domain.

[New content is open!]

[Family system is open!]

[Name: ‘Familia’ (Corleone)]

[Rating: Bronze]

[Members: 4 / 5 (needs to be upgraded!)]

[Affiliated Organizations: 3]

[Environment: Very Good]

[Club members are very satisfied!]

The system window looks like something straight out of a game and the moment I saw it, I knew that I would be able to use [Talent: [Enforcer]] in the Academy from now on.

The moment I saw it, I knew that I would be able to use [Talent: [Enforcer]] in the Academy, because having a “Familia” under the umbrella of Corleone as an enemy would be tantamount to having Corleone as an enemy.

[Bloodline: Corleone] The auras in your body begin to grow thicker and thicker.

It was evidence that they were getting closer. However, the distance is not yet obvious.

The members of the Ranger Circle were not yet afraid of me.

“But I’ll have to make them feel it.”

I muttered to myself and pulled the trigger once more, pointing at the sky.

──!/──!/──!

I fired exactly three shots.

This was my signal to begin the operation and as promised.

[Kaaaaaaaah!!!]

At the same time, a container box exploded in the distance and flew high into the air.

It meant that Se-ah and Young-jae, who had taken cover, had begun bombing them.

Of course, they must have seen this coming. After all, this was a many-on-many battle, not a one-on-one battle. But they must have decided that getting my head was worth the losses, so they couldn’t abandon the operation.

Well, that’s a fair point.

“Against any other club, it would have worked.”

But they’re dealing with a “Familia” that has me as its president.

It was a club that could never be called ordinary.

The explosion doesn’t end with one shot.

[Boom!]

[Kung! Kugugugung! Kwagwagwang!!!!]

One by one, the screams of the members of the Ranger Club, who had been holding their breath as the chain of explosions ripped through the harbor, began to be heard.

‘Where the hell are they coming from?’

‘It’s not flying, it’s exploding in the ground!’

‘Booby trap? It’s exploding out of nothing!’

Yeah, that’s a legitimate reaction.

“Don’t be stupid, assholes! Find the mage now!”

“We’re not going to find.......”

By now, Se-ah and Young-jae were probably completely hidden in a corner, working their magic.

It would be nearly impossible to find them unless there was a mage on the other side. Of course, even if the other side would have mages, they would need to have the ability to detect them.......

‘Rudra’s dead──!’

‘Stupid bastard, why is he dying in the field!’

‘There’s a dagger in his forehead, what can he do!’

That was something our assassin has done.

A pandemonium ensued at the start of the battle and finally satisfied that everything was in place, I stepped down from the warehouse roof and looked at the forest of containers where the guys would be.

“Let’s go.”

It was time to show them a real “Corleone” battle.
