Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 16

B-rank monster Rapdragon.

Shaped like a miniaturized Tyrannosaurus, it wasn’t large but was an extremely fast hunter with razor-sharp teeth.

With low intelligence, it wasn’t particularly difficult to capture, making it perfect for causing a ruckus throughout the Center.

Ready to go

[Greeting emoticon]

Nayeon noona

Re.dy (short for ready haha)

?

[Disgusted emoticon]

Gilma hyung

Go

When the signal dropped, Gidan brought his thumb and index finger together and flicked the glass with a sharp ping.

Crack crack crack—

Fissures began to spread across the 1-meter-thick special glass. The liquid that leaked through the cracks vaporized and disappeared upon contact with air.

Flash.

The monster freed from the liquid opened its yellow eyes.

Gidan turned up the volume on his headset and quietly stepped back.

Soon, a long howl echoed throughout the entire Center.

* * *

Upon entering the Measurement Room, the Measurement Technician seemed to recognize Shin Nayeon as well, bowing deeply in greeting before guiding Gru to a large machine.

As Gru stepped inside, the device emitted a red light and scanned his body.

“There, all done.”

At that moment.

Bang—

“What was that?”

A bursting sound followed by the sound of shattering glass came from somewhere.

The blue warning light in the Measurement Room flashed.

It was a signal for all employees with Hunter Licenses to assemble.

The Measurement Technician pulled a weapon from his inventory and gestured toward Lee Yujeong.

“Chief Officer, please guide the civilians to the Waiting Room!”

“Yes!”

Amidst the bustling employees, Nayeon smiled and picked up Gru.

* * *

When the Center determines if someone is Awakened, they collect stats extracted from measurement devices, total mana amounts, and skill data in the Server Room, then process this information through a series of procedures before outputting results.

And hunters with Hunter Licenses are permanently stationed in that Server Room.

Jurim, who had been waiting against the server room wall for everyone to leave, approached the desk while still maintaining his Stealth.

‘Is Measurement Room 1 this way?’

In front of the small monitor, a program was interpreting Gru’s data and writing it out line by line.

Han Gru, 4, Female

Status: F

Skill: L

Total Rank: S

‘How convenient.’

He smiled with satisfaction and placed his hand on the monitor screen.

[Activating Skill ‘Internal Interference (SSS)’.]

-Interferes with all internal settings recognized by the caster.

‘Internal Interference’ was a skill that allowed the caster to manipulate internal settings at will.

While the skill’s range varied depending on the caster’s Stats and the target’s condition, its applications were limitless given how demanding the conditions were.

Jurim could do everything from simple hacking to rummaging through people’s minds, and he often combined it with other skills for direct applications like inflicting pain or subduing targets.

Reading Gru’s skill had also been done using this skill.

Just as Jurim was about to modify Gru’s skill and rank.

“Why was there suddenly such a commotion at the Ecology Hall?”

The door suddenly opened.

“Apparently some glass broke. They kept going on about how expensive it was, I knew this would happen.”

The three hunters who had been summoned entered while chatting amongst themselves.

“This is why you shouldn’t skimp on safety issues. No matter how many times we tell them, they never listen.”

“Ugh, when they’re already rotating low-level hunters to cover manpower shortages, would they spend money? It’s lucky Team Leader Jin was at the Center, or we would’ve had to deal with unnecessary work.”

After venting their complaints for a moment, they sat back down and checked their monitors.

“Let’s see, let’s see, is our little one F-rank as expected?”

“See, I told you early Awakening isn’t always a good thing.”

Jurim confirmed that the hunters were retransmitting the modified data to the measurement room, then slipped out through the open door.

‘Team Leader Jin?’

He entered the bathroom, confirmed no one was there, and deactivated his Stealth. Then he naturally walked out the door.

After glancing once at the CCTV, he adjusted the glove on his left hand and headed toward the measurement room.

Since he had told Gidan to stall for at least 10 minutes, he would have chosen a B-rank or higher monster.

Was there a hunter skilled enough at the Center to subdue a B-rank monster in such a short time?

Moreover, if it was someone named Jin, there was one person who came to mind unpleasantly.

Being ranked 1st among Republic of Korea hunters meant that quite a bit of unwanted information flowed to Jurim.

Government agencies and figures from various sectors wanted to seek his advice or gauge his reactions, and he had learned about that person through such channels.

His Korean name was Jin Siwon.

An S-rank who had sought asylum, and a possessor of a Reading Skill.

Gru sat quietly in the waiting room, waiting for Nayeon to return.

“Gru, don’t go anywhere and make sure to stay right here. Got it? I’ll be back soon.”

Although Hyeonak were the main culprits who caused this incident, no one wanted casualties to occur.

Nayeon had stepped out to prevent any potential damage, and it seemed the situation was quickly suppressed not long after.

Since the warning lights stopped soon after.

‘That’s a good thing, right?’

It didn’t even seem like 5 minutes had passed…

It was suppressed much faster than what the Guild Master had told him.

Nothing went wrong, right?

The thought that something might have gone wrong made Gru anxious.

‘What if… Gru’s power hiding failed?’

Power hiding failure = Gru’s abilities spread everywhere = attack by villains targeting Gru!

Ding-!

It was when Gru, who had turned pale, was hugging his Duck Clip tightly and anxiously waiting for Nayeon’s return.

The quiet waiting room door burst open.

“Sister!”

Gru ran over with quick steps and hugged the person tightly.

“Gru was bravely staying here just like sister said…”

He was about to say that although he was scared being alone, he waited like a good boy, but the feeling was strange.

‘…?’

Why were sister’s legs, which should be soft and slender…?

Gru turned pale and looked up at the person with a despairing expression.

The man also lifted the corners of his mouth with a troubled face, not knowing what to do.

“Uh- um… Hello.”

Ash-tinted blonde hair, slightly drooping eyes. A melancholy impression with a gentle way of speaking.

The man had a warm impression, but his features and jawline were sharp and striking in style.

“I’m not sister, call me Uncle Jin Siwon.”

“…!”

Gru was startled and quickly moved away.

‘Is he a villain?!’

He hid behind the chair back, trembling and glaring at the man.

“Ah…”

He reached out his hand as if regretful, then pulled it back.

“Sorry, you were surprised because I came in suddenly, right? Uncle just came to check if the waiting room was safe.”

“…You didn’t come to target Gru?”

“Huh? Uncle isn’t a strange person! Uncle works here at the Management Bureau.”

‘Management Bureau?’

Han Gru cautiously poked his head out further.

“I have some candy, want some?”

Jin Siwon fumbled around in his pocket.

His movements seemed unsteady, and sure enough, the candies scattered all over the floor.

He smiled sheepishly as he gathered up the fallen candies.

“Oh dear…”

Fumble fumble. The man was clumsy even at picking up candy, like a newborn giraffe.

‘He doesn’t seem like a bad guy. Just somehow incompetent…’

Han Gru hesitated, then carefully approached and helped gather the candies.

“Haha, how embarrassing…”

Jin Siwon’s ears turned red as he handed Han Gru a candy.

“Do you like red ginseng flavor?”

What flavor?

Han Gru’s mouth fell open at hearing about a flavor he’d never encountered before.

Jin Siwon looked troubled again and spoke hurriedly.

“Well, this uncle doesn’t really know what kids like.”

“…I like it, red ginseng.”

Han Gru nodded so the man wouldn’t feel more embarrassed.

“That’s a relief.”

Jin Siwon smiled again like he was melting.

‘He’s somehow a worrying uncle…’

“Thank you.”

Han Gru smiled brightly as he clutched the Red Ginseng Candy to his chest.

The man took a sharp breath and clutched his chest.

That was the moment.

Ding!

[Potential caregiver detected. Caregiver registration possible if attachment index is increased.]

‘What?!’

This clumsy uncle is S-rank?
