Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 110

* * *

Clank clank.

Jin Siwon sat at the edge of the bed in the dark sleeping compartment, repeatedly closing and opening his eyes slowly.

Clank clank, between the sounds of the train running, the groans of the injured could be heard intermittently.

The injured had been gathered in a compartment with several beds, and Siwon was included among them.

“Huu…”

He exhaled deeply and massaged his throbbing temples.

Although his mind was nearly gone from magical power depletion, he had maintained consciousness throughout.

He recalled his memories in fragments, remembering the situation of being supported and brought here.

The Contaminated Swamp.

Gnosis.

The Blood Mass.

The acorns…

The acorns that Sergey had brought were fake.

At the time, he had suspected that Sergey might have switched them, but seeing that the dungeon was successfully cleared, it must have been Han Gru’s strategy.

Only Han Gru could identify the Special Purification Acorns.

For a moment, butterflies flying beyond his blurry vision flashed through his mind.

A 4-year-old child had successfully cleared an RP Dungeon.

He knew the child was smart, but to accomplish this much.

The child was amazing enough to be admirable.

Siwon smiled as he thought of the baby Sky Squirrel.

Most of all, he was happiest about the fact that Han Gru was safely alive.

If that hadn’t been the case, he wouldn’t have been able to forgive himself now.

‘So it was true that Han Gru had escaped.’

As he thought of Sergey, feeling the familiar pain wash over him again, he squeezed his eyes shut.

Before falling into meaningless sentimentality again, Siwon continued to recall his previous memories with his heavy head.

The situation before Han Gru arrived.

“Hmm, this isn’t interesting.”

Irina carelessly threw away the fake acorn and used mind control on the Hunters, driving them toward the Blood Mass.

The closer they got to the Blood Mass, the louder the people’s groans and screams became.

At this rate, the lower-ranked Hunters would have their skin melting off before they even touched the Blood Mass.

“Varet!”

Siwon had no choice but to summon Varet.

There was no other choice but to wrap the Blood Mass with Varet to prevent the contamination from leaking out.

As Varet absorbed all the contamination like that, his magical power drained away in an instant…

The last thing he remembered was Irina’s voice.

“See you again, Zhenya. Next time we meet, I hope you’ll be even more miserably broken.”

Siwon caressed his throbbing chest.

‘Irina…’

He let out a faint sneer.

‘I’m already a complete mess.’

His country, his family, nothing remained anymore.

How far down did his beloved younger sibling want him to fall?

“Hah…”

Having recalled all his memories, Siwon took out a dagger from his inventory and made a long cut across his arm.

Clang!

After throwing the dagger to the floor, he ruthlessly dug into the wound.

His blood-soaked hand pulled out a lump the size of a peach seed.

The pulsating seed bore Gnosis’s triquetra symbol.

It was a seed he had seen countless times while pursuing Gnosis.

The seed hides inside a human body, takes root, and creates a place for Irina’s consciousness to invade.

To control a hunter of his caliber, skills alone wouldn’t be enough, so they resorted to this method.

Siwon crushed the seed under his foot with an expressionless face.

Then he gripped his arm tightly and pushed with force.

The remaining seeds came pouring out of the wound along with gushing blood.

Thud, thunk, thud.

One, two, three, four… Six in total.

“Quite a lot you put in there.”

As he gripped his mangled arm without emotion, it happened.

“Ugh…!”

One of the injured from Brom Guild made eye contact with Siwon. The hunter’s eyes were filled with fear and horror.

Inside the dark sleeping compartment.

A strange foreign man with ashen blonde hair cutting his own arm and squeezing out blood amidst groans coming from everywhere.

All of this felt like a scene from a horror movie.

Siwon, flustered by his gaze, stammered as he wiped his bloody arm on his clothes.

It only made him look more eerie covered in blood.

“Ah… uh… S-sorry. Did some blood splatter on you?”

Siwon approached the injured person, bowing apologetically as he wiped the man’s face with his blood-soaked clothes.

“Eek!”

The man pushed his body against the wall to get away from Siwon.

But Siwon came closer to him, repeatedly apologizing.

Chapter Intermission

Squirm squirm.

Han Gru poked his face out from under the blanket. When he looked up, he could see On Jurim’s chin.

‘It’s the Guild Master…’

As always, On Jurim really sleeps like the dead.

Han Gru sat up drowsily, blinking his eyes.

After leaving the RP Dungeon, On Jurim had thrown Brom Guild, Gidan, and Shin Nayeon to the reporters as prey, then leisurely returned home with Han Gru.

‘And then…’

Han Gru had prepared for bed, lay down, and pestered On Jurim to read him a book until he fell asleep.

“Please be born healthy.”

The voice reading quite earnestly was his last memory. It seemed they had both fallen asleep just like that.

Han Gru read the title of the fairy tale book “I’ll Love You Forever” and smiled softly.

‘Unchanging, always!’

He snuggled into On Jurim’s embrace and hugged him.

A bunch of worms were writhing in his chest, making him tremble and his heart pound.

‘Can I call him dad now?’

He had told him to call him dad whenever he felt like it…

He felt shy and his mouth was tingling.

When On Jurim wakes up later, he’ll definitely try calling him dad.

Just as he was making this resolution, Mephistopheles fluttered up.

“Mephi!”

Han Gru gave Mephistopheles a little peck like a bird.

[♥]

Mephistopheles rubbed his small body against Han Gru’s cheek.

Han Gru burst into laughter because the fluffy down feathers tickled.

Come to think of it, he also got 100,000 points from the Mephistopheles caretaker quest!

There was something he really wanted to do once he got 100,000 points.

‘Lots of magical power!’

Han Gru opened his status window.

Name: Han Gru

Level: LV. 10

Title: ■■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■(Cannot be viewed)

Strength: 1

Stamina: 1(+14)

Agility: 1

Defense: 1(+88)

Magical Power: 12

Stamina and defense were corrected values from various defense items received when going to the first dungeon.

Magical power was a value raised using stat points gained from leveling up.

Usually 1 stat increases per level, so Han Gru’s original magical power should have been 11, but…

‘If I have filial piety points, I can raise stats too!’

Being able to grow basic stats regardless of level was a tremendous advantage.

As levels get higher, the experience needed for leveling up increases much more, so there are limits to stat increases too.

Therefore, the higher the basic stat values at awakening, the higher the grade evaluation received.

On Jurim and Gidan were S-Rank with tremendously high basic stat values from the start, but compared to them…

‘Han Gru has all 1s…!’

But there’s no need to be disappointed.

With filial piety points, I could surpass the limits of level!

It means I can become incredibly rich in magical power with filial piety points!

‘Increased magical power = enhanced skill effects!’

In Han Gru’s mind, a fluffy Baby Sheep popped out and showed making two hundred Snow Ducks and one hundred Excellent Syrups at once.

‘Ta-da!’

When Baby Sheep gave an exaggerated bow, Black Wolf made a fuss and clapped.

‘Hehehe!’

It was when Han Gru was smiling with satisfaction.

‘Hm?’

At the very bottom of the status window, there was an unfamiliar message.

[Would you like to use 100,000 points to unlock the Filial Piety Skill ‘Clatter Clatter Filial Piety Factory!’?]

Han Gru’s hands tensed up.

‘Clatter Clatter… Filial Piety Factory?’

As a 4-year-old S-Rank production-type, it was a name that absolutely couldn’t be ignored.

“Fa, factory…!”

Gulp. Saliva went down.

But with 100,000 points, I need to raise magical power…!

‘Han Gru isn’t interested in this kind of thing…’

So… let me just take a quick look at what it is.
