7 [Mafia Introduction(1)]

*During the night with Itoshi Kai*

Council Head: Kai, we heard that a student from another school caused trouble with a student from your school today, can you explain? *A man in a polo shirt sitting at the end of the table with his legs crossed asks Kai*

Itoshi Kai: So sir, the beginning of classes this year was a bit turbulent. Some newbies got into a fight on the first day, and then those same newbies decided to have a rematch in a storage room and it turned out that one of those young people was a friend of Na Hyun-Woo, who showed up and beat up the other boy. *Kai explains while sitting at the other end eating*

Council Head: But tell me why would Na Hyun-Woo be at your school? It doesn't make sense for a young man with high potential to be helping an unknown boy whose name has not even been mentioned so far. *The Superior doesn't seem to believe that Na Hyun-Woo would go to another school to protect a 'nobody'*

Itoshi Kai: The boy's name is Shin Sungjin they- *Kai is interrupted by the superior who smiles upon hearing the name*

Council Superior: Shin isn't it, the world really is small, that man's grandson would be so close. *The man extends his hand as if he were imagining Shin Woojin in front of him*

Itoshi Kai: Do you know him? *Kai asks*

Council Superior: I know this boy's grandfather very well, we have a past together, and now you have a mission, you're going to find a way to make him suffer during this school period. *The Superior shows the most sincere and true expressions of a hatred that has been kept for a long time*

Itoshi Kai: Could I know the reason for this? *Kai questions the sudden mission given by the superior*

Council Superior: Right now you're not interested in knowing about my past, only that I gave you a mission and you will have to fulfill it. *The superior is rude to Kai, which scares him*

Itoshi Kai: Okay. *Kai responds shyly*

*At the same moment with Shin Sungjin*

"What do you think Hyun-Woo meant by things getting more tense for me? He also said he would talk to Cravo about it, I don't know what that would involve him but if my training gets worse, I'll have a problem with Hyun-Woo"

*Sungjin is lying on his bed looking at the ceiling when his cell phone rings*

Shin Sungjin: Hello? *Sungjin answers the call*

Cravo: Hi, come down, we have to go somewhere. *Cravo speaks and hangs up the call*

Shin Sungjin: Does this guy know what time it is? *Sungjin looks out the window and sees Cravo sitting on the hood of his car, a 'Mercedes Cls'*

*Sungjin puts on a coat and pants that when he looks in the mirror he realizes are too small*

Shin Sungjin: I think I've grown a little. *Sungjin smiles spontaneously*

*Sungjin is wearing shorts and a pajama shirt*

Cravo: Aren't you feeling cold? *As Cravo speaks, smoke comes out of his mouth*

Shin Sungjin: My clothes don't fit me anymore! *Despite the situation, Sungjin is happy about it*

Cravo: Wear this for now, tomorrow I'll take you shopping after school. *Cravo hands Sungjin a furry leather coat*

Shin Sungjin: Thanks, but where are we going at this time? *Sungjin asks Cravo about the time (2 am)*

Cravo: Hyun-Woo told me what happened at school, so I have to show you how things are in our world, so I'm going to take you somewhere. *Cravo gets into the driver's seat of his car*

Shin Sungjin: Okay, but Hyun-Woo told me that things would get bad for me from now on, because of my grandfather, is that true? *Sungjin asks as soon as he gets into the car*

Cravo: Your grandfather was a good man, but even monks have enemies, because of the power your grandfather held, none of these enemies can harm him, much less your father, as it seemed impossible to attack your family, for a long time we thought they had forgotten this story, but now, a weak and defenseless Shin appears, I think it's clear that you won't have peace, even though it's a guess, I'm not usually wrong. *Cravo speaks while paying attention to the traffic in front of him*

Shin Sungjin: I see, as I told you a while ago, I will become strong and defeat all my family's enemies on my own, it's just a matter of time. *Sungjin confidently states his words*

*The drive to the destination wasn't long, but it felt like an eternity inside the car because of the awkward silence*

Shin Sungjin: We're at the docks, what could I possibly want to see here besides fish? *Sungjin looks around inside the car*

Cravo: Come with me. *Cravo gets out of the car and Sungjin follows him to a more hidden area behind some containers*

Cravo: What you're going to see here today is just the most common thing in our world, this is just a way to prepare you. *Cravo's speech leaves Sungjin a little scared*

*As the two approach a light coming from behind the containers, the noises of what seemed to be a crowd get louder and louder, and along with that the sounds of blows and breaking bones also get louder, the screams of pain and suffering can also be heard, but are easily suppressed by the screams of excitement of the crowd*

Shin Sungjin: What is this... *Sungjin is so disgusted by what he saw that he vomits*

*What Sungjin saw was an underground fight club, but a much worse version than what you can imagine, while the two fighters in the ring are fighting in the ring, the bodies of the others who have already lost are stretched out on the floor, about to rot, the smell of corpses, blood and sweat created an evil smell that makes you cry*

Shin Sungjin: How can something like this exist, this is cruel to say the least. *Sungjin is still recovering from what he saw*

Cravo: This is more common than you think, I'll explain what's going on in this place. Do you see that man sitting on a kind of throne drinking a drink? So, that guy is the head of the organization behind these Clubs. *Sungjin interrupted Cravo*

Shin Sungjin: Why don't you take him down then? *Sungjin questions the obvious*

Cravo: It's not that simple, putting an end to a scheme like this displeases many powerful people, that drunk man with the women around him is the chief of police of a district, these clubs are a meeting point for the most diverse types of people, and this is not restricted to Seoul or Korea, it's an international business. Most of the fighters in this club are beggars or "missing" foreigners *Cravo reinforces the quotation marks*

Shin Sungjin: How can a police officer see this and just laugh and drink beer? His job should be to put an end to all this and not contribute. *Sungjin says angrily and starts walking towards the police officer*

Cravo: Where are you planning on going? *Cravo to Sungjin*

Shin Sungjin: End this?!

Cravo: You are so naive, since we got here we have been watched, and even if it was a "surprise attack" there are armed guards everywhere, it would be impossible to end the scheme like this, I brought you here to warn you and show you how things are, now that you have seen, let's go back to your house. *Sungjin is clearly unhappy but just accepts and follows Cravo*

*The trip back to Sungjin's house was in complete silence*

Cravo: Our trip to the mall still on tomorrow? *Cravo asks as he says goodbye with a smile on his face*

Shin Sungjin: ... *Sungjin just goes inside the house without answering*
