I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel

Chapter 55 Academy Examination (2)

The first volume of [Heroes of The New Age] was entitled—'Pride.'

'Pride' was a long saga divided into multiple arcs.

The first arc explored the entrance examination of Arcane Academy and introduced the major characters in the novel.

In the very first chapter, the main character, Rain Violetstar gets introduced in the story during the academy examination.

In the process, he would meet other characters and form an unofficial team with them—namely Lance Schultz and Sumi Aethereal.

While Rain Violetstar and his team were undergoing their examination, a dark undercurrent was brewing behind the scenes.

On the academy island, an archdemon suddenly appeared and interfered with the academy examination.

With a terrifying foe added to the mix, the entire entrance examination was thrown into chaos and the rest of the participants began to realize that there was a problem.

As they reach the inner circle, the rest of the leading participants would come to face to face with the archdemon.

Then, the archdemon that appeared became the sole antagonist of the first arc

His name was—Garuda, the Baron of Pride.

***

While the fire crackled on the moonlit night, Elias was doing pushups. He slowly took his gaze away from deeper the forest island.

Garuda, the Baron of Pride.

Like mutated beasts, demons were also divided into different categories.

At the very bottom, there were the otherworldly demons who were similar to monsters of the fabled hell realm.

Above them, there were the archdemons, the rulers of otherworldly demons and children of sins.

'An archdemon is a noble demon that was granted status and power by them. An archdemon's strength usually mirrored their status, with Baron being the lowest noble status.'

'An archdemon has a minimum strength of C Rank. In other words, Garuda possesses at least C-Rank strength.'

Elias was clearer than anybody of Garuda's strength. As the author, he even knew all of the Baron's abilities like the palm of his hand.

While he was in deep contemplation, the blazing fire over the middle of the small camp suddenly flared up.

Crackle!

On top of a long bright log nearby, a dark blue-haired man could be seen sleeping with a dreamy expression.

Hajin's body suddenly trembled while his eyes twitched. With some fuzziness, he slowly woke up from the cold chilling air.

As soon as he woke up, intense soreness assaulted immediately his body and mind.

Without a doubt, it was the consequence of using too much of his power and mana at once, causing an intense recoil.

'Ah shit, Elias… I'll kill you for this…'

Hajin bemoaned in displeasure. Upon being woken up by soreness, he immediately remembered what happened before he turned unconscious.

Needless to say, the fury he had buried from being ordered around by his cousin immediately returned like a raging storm.

But at that moment, when his vision finally cleared up, he suddenly forgot about the anger brewing inside him.

Hajin's eyes widened in disbelief.

What greeted him was a heavenly sight.

Beside him, a white-haired beauty with divine blue eyes containing profound charm stood and smiled at him sweetly.

"Oh, you're awake… Hajin Sanchez, right?"

Hajin dumbfoundedly brushed his eyes. However, nothing changed. Celestia was still there, smiling at him.

"Is there a problem?"

"Did I die and go to heaven…?"

Hajin had a dumbfounded expression. But, seeing Celestia, he immediately forgot the implications of it and smiled stupidly.

So be it if he died, at the very least, he was in the embrace of an angel.

White hair, divine blue eyes, otherworldly beauty… what else if it was not an angel?

This was god's reward for him for helping his cousin! Thinking of that, the anger stored inside him toward his cousin immediately vanished away.

However, contrary to his expectations, Celestia blinked and chuckled in amusement.

"Don't be silly. Why would you think you're in heaven?"

"Why not? If an angel like you is by my side, then any place becomes heaven."

Hajin's lips curled into a smile. Ah, that must've struck her heart… probably… well, all a man needed was confidence!

"..."

However, Celestia stared at him, silently. She slowly smiled more widely to the point it was eerie and creepy.

"Is that so? But you're in hell."

Hajin was stunned. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt the air around him suddenly drop to several degrees.

'Okay… wait, it's tingling!'

Hajin's smile froze.

The beautiful smiling Celestia, who he saw riveting and spellbinding, suddenly turned terrifying and crazy in his eyes.

From years of experience with women, Hajin has developed a crazy-woman sensory. It was very much needed to avoid crazy women!

And now, it was tingling. More loud, and intense than anytime before. Then he realized, it was not a goddamn warning anymore, it was a full-blown crisis.

'Oh no, this woman… she's definitely crazy. I don't know how, but my crazy woman sensors is ringing!!'

Hajin's body trembled. The last time it happened with a woman, believe it or not, he was greeted by that woman with a knife upon waking up.

'I need to run…!'

At that moment, his saving grace came unexpectedly from the unlikeliest person.

"Celestia, stop scaring him."

From nearby, Elias' cold voice suddenly resounded. Hajin has never, ever, been more grateful than before to hear his voice.

"Alright, alright."

Celestia laughed. He turned at Hajin, her smile softening. She complained with a cute and smiling expression.

"Your cousin surely can't take a joke? He has no humor at all, right?"

"Yeah, yeah…"

Hajin nodded before slowly retreating away. As he retreated, he saw Celestia smile more brightly—but somehow it scared him more.

Without hesitating anymore, he quickly walked towards Elias.

"H—"

However, before he could utter a word, Elias cut him off and threw something into the air, which he subconsciously caught.

Elias snickered and mocked him.

"You have no clothes, casanova. Go dress yourself before talking."

"What casanova…"

Hajin was about to rebut, but then he realized something important from his words.

'Clothes…? Oh, my clothes!?!'

He touched his own body and felt his bare skin exposed. Now, he put his hand on his waist and only his boxer was present…

He was semi-nude, with his top body fully exposed shamelessly. While his waist was only covered with an embarrassing boxer.

And unaware of that, he was talking and flirting all the while naked.

'C-can I die instead…?'

Even with his shameless personality, Hajin felt some shame and embarrassment course through him thinking of his conversation earlier.
