Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 120
* * *
“Is it bad news?”
At Management Team Leader Seol Yeojin’s question, On Jurim shook his head and closed the message window.
“It’s a personal matter, so you don’t need to worry about it. How are the children?”
Seol Yeojin smiled brightly and handed over documents on the desk.
“Sergey and Han Gru. Both of them have exceptionally high intelligence, you know? I was a bit worried about Sergey since he said he never received mandatory education, but once I taught him the basics, he followed along well. I was thinking we’d need to prepare for the exam the year after next, but it looks like we could aim for next year’s exam.”
Seol Yeojin rattled on in an excited voice.
Han Gru was at a level that was completely unbelievable for a 4-year-old, and Sergey, despite his sullen face and grumbling, followed instructions well when given.
“Really? What about Dan?”
“…Dan has good stamina. You need stamina to sit in a chair for long periods and study well…”
“At least there’s that, I suppose.”
When On Jurim spoke sarcastically, Yeojin chuckled softly.
“Dan will do well too if he sets his mind to it. He just doesn’t try.”
He nodded his head halfheartedly.
The reason On Jurim had asked Yeojin to handle the children’s education was because of On Suhyeong.
On Suhyeong, who was more serious about Han Gru’s education than anyone else, had found and recommended several gifted academies in Korea that would be suitable for Han Gru to attend.
“Since Han Gru awakened early, Justitia International School would be good too.”
In his heart, he hoped Han Gru would grow up normally… but the child was beyond standard specifications.
He would stand out even more in a regular school.
In that case, it would be better to send him somewhere with people who could protect him. Gidan was currently attending Justitia International School.
It was while preparing Han Gru’s school that Sergey came to Hyeonak.
Somehow ending up with another minor to take care of, they decided to send Sergey to Justitia as well.
When he said he would send Sergey to school, his guardian Jin Siwon readily accepted.
He said he had been worried about it too. He made some incomprehensible comment about the kid being a bit lacking, probably because he learned things on the farm.
“More importantly, about Sergey and Han Gru. Both of them have one problem… They’re so smart that other subjects aren’t an issue, but…”
She handed over different documents. On Jurim received them with a puzzled expression.
It was a printout with elementary school-level problems.
It was a low-difficulty Korean language problem where you fill in the blanks with appropriate words according to the situation shown in the illustration.
Since it was the most basic of basics, he couldn’t understand Seol Yeojin’s concern, so he checked the children’s answers.
Crooked handwriting was written in the blanks.
Name: Sergey
(Illustration of Cheolsu scoring a goal stylishly while his friend cheers)
[Cheolsu, your (form is insane)!]
Name: Han Gru
(Illustration of Younghee holding a math test with a perfect score of 100, with a friend clapping)
[Younghee, you’re a math (master)!]
Even flipping through the pages, the answers were similar.
Sergey seemed to not know standard Korean at all, and Han Gru consistently couldn’t let go of “master.”
“Hmm….”
On Jurim rubbed his face once, then rested his chin on his hand and asked seriously.
“What about donation admission?”
He was willing to lay down grass, and Han Gru’s grandfather could probably even build a new building.
Seol Yeojin smiled slightly and responded.
“That’s not going to work, is it?”
When On Jurim clicked his tongue regretfully, she adjusted her glasses.
“Don’t worry and leave it to our team. I’m not just saying this, but they’re really smart kids, so if we sit them down and make them study, they’ll pass the written exam without any problems.”
“Please do that.”
On Jurim nodded.
A year ago, Seol Yeojin had coaxed and persuaded the thoroughly rebellious Gidan to go to school. If she said she could do it, there was no reason to doubt her.
“Then I’ll be going.”
Already delighted at the thought of putting the children in her team and working them hard, Seol Yeojin smiled broadly, greeted him, and left the Guild Leader’s Office.
When the door closed, On Jurim rolled his stiff neck around and tapped on the desk.
The person who brought Han Gru to the orphanage was dead.
It was something he hadn’t anticipated.
Whether it was from the mother’s side or father’s side, or even if they were his real parents, he couldn’t know.
Whether to pursue it further or stop here. He couldn’t make a decision.
Chapter Festival and Jjapso
In the quiet corridor in front of the faculty office.
Korean language teacher Choi Seonhye spotted someone and smiled.
“Oh, Wookyeong. Could you take this printout to Teacher Moon Ira?”
It was Seonwoo Kyeong who had just come out of the faculty office.
“Yes, I’ll take it to her.”
Seonwoo Kyeong smiled brightly and took the thick document bundle.
Choi Seonhye looked at the reliable student council president with a pleased expression and said.
“I’m glad to have a model student like Wookyeong in our class. Our class has had quite a few problems, hasn’t it? Like Honggi and all.”
When Ham Honggi’s story came up, Seonwoo Kyeong’s eyes instantly turned cold.
“Not really. But Honggi has been well-behaved lately. He comes to school regularly and does his recycling well….”
Choi Seonhye burst into laughter at the mention of doing recycling well. It reminded her of Ham Honggi, who had been acting quiet and well-behaved lately, perhaps due to family troubles.
“Well, yes. We’ll have to see how long it lasts.”
Seonwoo Kyeong smiled with his eyes curved.
‘Right. How long could that last?’
After silently agreeing, he walked briskly into Moon Ira’s classroom and closed the door.
Bzzzzt-
Just then, his mobile phone rang from his pocket.
Seonwoo Kyeong took out his phone and was careful not to scrunch his face when he saw the name written on the screen.
[NAG Gu Shinhu]
‘How many times is he going to call?’
Gu Shinhu, that stupid bird-brained bastard.
Seonwoo Kyeong irritably threw his phone onto the teacher’s desk.
He had pretended to be Jjapso and sold items, but somehow Gu Shinhu had found out his number and was contacting him endlessly.
No matter how much he tried to avoid it, that persistent idiot who was obsessed with recruiting Jjapso never got tired.
‘I didn’t expect Gu Shinhu to fall for it.’
If he had known an S-Rank guild leader would be such a nuisance, he wouldn’t have even imitated Jjapso.
He was currently rejecting his proposals on the grounds of being a student, but the problem was that graduation wasn’t far away.
Most kids were already receiving support from guilds. Using the excuse of having to attend school to avoid Gu Shinhu’s scouting would become increasingly difficult.
‘How annoying!’
He was just staring at his phone that kept vibrating over and over when.
“Aren’t you going to answer?”
“Ah…”
When Seonwoo Kyeong looked up, Moon Ira entered the classroom and glanced at his phone.
Moon Ira approached gracefully and looked down at the phone.
“NAG is a large guild, so it seems like a really good opportunity. You need it, don’t you? Money.”
Money… Seonwoo Kyeong muttered and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Right, accepting Moon Ira’s proposal was all because of money too.
His goal was to save up capital and leave this damn country.
“I’m not Gidan, and I’m not really Jjapso either. Even if I went to NAG, would my starting salary be around 100 million? After taxes, it probably wouldn’t even be that much. On top of that, for someone from a poor background like me, even breathing costs money. If word gets out that I got a job at a big company, fifty relatives will call. Even now, they’re probably waiting until graduation to charter a bus and come up to raid even my piggy bank. Far from saving money, I’d be lucky not to lose what I have.”
Material for becoming a dragon rising from a ditch.
Seonwoo Kyeong was arbitrarily designated as the pillar of his family.
Do you think I’ll become like that?
What should I give back to a family that never did anything for me?
Eventually, his goal became to save up capital and leave this country to live elsewhere.
For this purpose, Seonwoo Kyeong began desperately saving money.
If he just changed his perspective a little, making money wasn’t difficult.
He established an illegal betting site and gradually expanded its size.
Customers were easy to find around him. High school students were easy prey to lure into temptation.
It was around that time when he met Moon Ira.
“The gambling site that’s popular on campus these days, that’s yours, right?”
The moment I thought everything was ruined.
“Wookyung, do you need money?”
“Pardon?”
“You see, I want to help you.”
She whispered in a pretty voice as she handed over the bottle.
