Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 101

* * *

“Sergey hyung… are you Gnostic?”

Dry saliva went down his parched throat. Sergey’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

He thought this ridiculous play would soon end.

That it was all just a mirage that would scatter once they reached the Contamination Zone.

They weren’t really family like the beastmen’s foolish delusion, but rather people who were dying to kill each other.

But not now.

Never, he had no intention of ending it now.

After a long silence, all Sergey uttered was one stupid question.

“Why… why?”

If he knew the reason? In case it was a mistake? In case it could be undone?

“Why are you suddenly asking something like that?”

The anxious voice that burst out of me was very unfamiliar. Sergey clenched his mouth shut so tight his molars pressed together.

The boy was facing an unbearable truth.

In fact, he wanted to stay buried in that leisurely and foolish time forever. Without any worries or anger.

“I can see it in hyung’s eyes.”

Han Gru tightened his grip on the blanket.

Once he started paying attention, the mark that had been blurry came into view more clearly.

“There’s a mark in your eyes… The one Master showed us earlier.”

Upon entering the RP Dungeon, things that only Han Gru could see appeared.

For example, information windows for oak trees and acorns that others couldn’t see.

And Sergey’s eyes.

He could see a mark in Sergey’s eyes.

What wasn’t visible outside the dungeon began to show inside the dungeon.

He first noticed this when Sergey woke up.

“Your eyes…”

“Hm?”

What could only be seen when looking closely was a triquetra (three overlapping ovals) wrapped by a serpent.

The golden glowing mark was dyeing Sergey’s pupils with a golden light.

“It’s pretty.”

Clatter, clatter. The train began passing through the underground tunnel.

The car body shook and a long shadow fell across Sergey’s face.

It was hard to read Sergey’s expression.

He wished he would tell him it wasn’t true.

That Gru was mistaken.

“You said there’s a mark in my eyes…”

Sergey covered his golden eyes with his hands and muttered quietly.

“…That can’t be right.”

His cool, low voice sounded as if he was hearing this fact for the first time.

Gru couldn’t understand what Sergey meant.

Did he mean there shouldn’t be a mark in his eyes because he wasn’t Gnosis? Or did he mean Gru had seen it wrong?

He hoped he had seen it wrong.

We held hands and went to the market together.

We defeated the swindler raccoon.

We raised acorns together.

“Did Gru see it wrong?”

Sergey’s white hand covered Gru’s eyelids, blocking his vision. Darkness descended.

“No, you saw correctly.”

For some reason, Sergey whispered in a tone that seemed resigned.

“I am Gnosis.”

* * *

Whooooo-

The train’s whistle sounded long and loud.

Siwon, who had been dozing in his seat, opened his eyes.

Outside the window, the morning sun had already risen.

The train’s speed had noticeably slowed down. This meant their terminal station was just ahead.

He was alone in his seat.

‘Gru and Sergey must be sleeping in the sleeping compartment…’

Since it was an overnight train, he had booked two sleeping compartments together so the two growing children could sleep soundly.

Siwon moved to find Gru first. They needed to prepare to get off soon.

He planned to head to the Contamination Zone first to assess the situation with Brom Guild.

Cheon Gyuri was in Brom, and since Gnosis couldn’t control S-Rank hunters, her goals would align with his.

If things went well, he planned to leave Gru at Brom’s outpost. He would have to chase after traces of Gnosis himself.

Sergey said he belonged to Freefall, so he would return to his guild…

Everyone would part ways in the Contamination Zone.

‘So this family game is ending too.’

It had been a short outing.

Siwon smiled as he thought of Gru and Sergey, then opened the door to the sleeping compartment.

But for some reason, the room was empty.

Having no choice but to return to his seat, he saw Sergey taking down luggage.

“Sergey, I don’t see Gru anywhere. Do you happen to know where he went?”

“He’s sleeping in my room. I’ll take him with me, so pack your things.”

“Yes, I’ll ask you to do that.”

When Siwon spoke gently, Sergey nodded and headed to his room. A note crumpled and disappeared from Sergey’s hand as he turned around.

The train stopped while Siwon was packing his simply packed bag.

Sergey, who came carrying Gru, followed behind Siwon who was holding his bag.

Since it was the terminal station, it was bustling with beastmen coming and going. They got off the train and squeezed in among the beastmen moving busily.

Sergey was quietly staring at Jin Siwon’s back.

He had broad shoulders and was tall, but his build looked slender. His movements were slow, and sometimes he even stumbled and acted clumsy.

As if he could easily subdue him with one hand and strangle his neck.

Sergey raised his hand toward his neck.

“….”

Only one goal was engraved in his mind.

Gnosis Hunter.

He must kill him when there’s a chance.

Just then, Siwon turned around.

Sergey quickly lowered his hand, but Siwon had already stepped right up to him.

A cold sensation touched the center of Sergey’s forehead.

“…?”

It was a gun barrel.

“What the hell is this bullshit all of a sudden?”

However, Siwon holding the Glock (pistol) asked back with an expression devoid of any emotion.

“Where is Gru?”

“What are you talking about? He’s right here in my arms.”

“Where is Gru.”

“Can’t you see him here? Are you blind?”

But Sergey’s answer didn’t seem to reach Siwon.

He asked again in a tone so monotone it was chilling.

“Tell me. Where is Gru.”

“Stop this bullshit already-”

Bang!

The gun fired before he could finish speaking.

Blood splattered onto Siwon’s face as Sergey’s body collapsed downward with a thud.

A puddle of blood flowed down to his feet and pooled in a circle.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

“Kiyaaaah!”

Screams began to strike through the station building. The beastmen fled from the station like a receding tide without exception.

Siwon stood like a lonely island among the crowd that was flowing around him in a circle to avoid him.

Gru remained cradled in the arms of the fallen Sergey.

Siwon approached Gru with an emotionless face and shot him in the head.

Bang!

The child’s body went limp and lifeless.

‘Mannequins….’

Jin Siwon slowly blinked his eyes.

Sergey and Han Gru who had disappeared.

Mannequins that had replaced them.

‘Gnosis….’

Siwon pressed firmly against his chest.

In an instant, an emptiness like a hole pierced through his chest dragged him into an abyss.

It was a familiar pain.

Then, his lifeless green eyes looked left and right. Whoosh, a massive amount of magical power drained out.

[Skill ‘Phantom Time’ is activated.]

-Glimpses 10 seconds into the future. Activates suddenly regardless of the caster’s will.

Regardless of his intention, what flashed by in an instant was the next 10 seconds of the future.

When the skill activated, future events would replay for 10 seconds.

His somewhat clumsy movements and dull attitude were all because of the future scenes that would suddenly come to him.

The scene of the beastmen surrounding him lunging forward flashed before his eyes.

‘All mannequins….’

Gray magical power surged from Siwon.

He aimed at the beastmen’s heads.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mana bullets flew and embedded into their heads before exploding. The explosions engulfed even the nearby beastmen in flames.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

Siwon cut through between the screaming mannequins.

‘Han Gru is.’

He desperately looked around, but the baby Sky Squirrel was nowhere to be seen.

Returning to reality, Siwon frowned and unconsciously checked his shoes.

Even though no one was at his feet, it felt as if someone was clinging to his shoes.

‘Han Gru….’

It still felt like warmth remained in his hands.

The things he wanted to protect always crumbled so easily like this.

If mannequins were mixed in among the others, Siwon couldn’t distinguish the mannequins with his Reading Skill blocked.

In that case.

‘I have no choice but to kill them all.’

Now his purpose was only one thing.

He had to find Han Gru.
