Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 162
* * *
After being lectured by Teacher not to bully her friend, Han Gru returned to her seat and sat down.
Gru gripped her trowel tightly, undaunted by Teacher’s scolding.
“Gru, this time the goal is to become friends with Huiyeon.”
“Really?”
Wuju answered halfheartedly.
“Yeah! I’ll show her lots of earthworms too.”
Wuju swallowed down the nausea that rose up as he recalled the slimy earthworms.
Gu Huiyeon probably wouldn’t want earthworms either, but Gru didn’t seem to care much about Gu Huiyeon’s opinion.
Then suddenly, Wuju noticed the fox keyring attached to Gu Huiyeon’s trowel.
There was also a chick keyring attached to his own bag.
They were character goods modeled after the String Guild members.
Ever since finding out that Gru was Hyeonak, he had joined the Hyeonhak Supporters, searched for videos, and saved all the photos…
Wuju, who had started what was called being a fan, could recognize it immediately.
That keyring was brand new Hyeonak merchandise that had just been released.
On Jurim was the black wolf, Gru was the pale yellow chick, Nayeon was the brown rabbit, and…
‘If it’s the fox character… is that Gidan hyung?’
So that’s why she kept looking over.
Since Dan hyung really dotes on Gru, she probably wanted to become friends with Gru.
But even after several days, she didn’t have the courage to talk to her, so she was just stealing glances.
Still, it was none of his business. Wuju turned his head toward Gru.
Gru was holding her hand hoe and earnestly continuing her story.
“And… I’m definitely going to become the supreme hunter. That’s how I’ll be filial.”
“Supreme?”
Gru poked the ground with her trowel.
“Yeah. Supreme!”
As Wuju pondered the meaning of supreme, Gru spoke in a solemn voice.
“Gru can do it like daddy too. Help people who are having a hard time!”
‘Supreme hunter, she says.’
A halo seemed to shine behind Gru.
Wuju opened his trembling mouth.
‘That’s totally cool…!’
As Gru huffed proudly through her nose, Wuju turned his reddened face toward the garden plot.
“Oh! Wuju, Gru made Mephy No. 1 again! Look at this.”
When Gru took out the chick drone she had made during craft time, Wuju examined it. They had modified a drone together at home before.
‘Though I mostly just watched.’
Wuju suppressed her slightly intimidated feelings and asked.
“Are you strong now? Why were you weak before?”
“Daddy said that when mana energy changes to electricity, there’s loss that makes it weaker.”
Wuju nodded with a troubled expression.
I don’t understand at all.
Understanding this, Han Gru drew a picture with a tree branch to show her.
“Circle magic stone becomes triangle electricity.”
Han Gru drew a small triangle inside the circle.
“It means this remaining part disappears.”
“Ahh….”
Finally understanding, Wuju asked back.
“Then what should we do?”
“Umm, use really really expensive magic stones, or make the triangle bigger….”
“Expensive magic stones would cost… hundreds of millions, wouldn’t they…?”
Then Han Gru showed a quiet laugh, “Hehehe.”
“That’s why Han Gru made an amplifier!”
Ta-da! Han Gru opened the chick’s chest to show the magic stone placed inside the capsule.
“But another problem came up.”
Han Gru activated the Mephisto Series Prototype Mk.1.
Crackle-!
The range of the electric attack the chick released had widened, but it was only about static electricity level, still not producing decent power that could be used in dungeons.
‘Is equipment crafting still difficult for Han Gru?’
Han Gru scraped the dirt with her hand hoe and let out a deep sigh.
The flower of the crafting class was undoubtedly equipment!
The romance of items you made traversing dungeons freely!
But what Han Gru had made so far was only Excellent Syrup, and only C-grade at that!
While Han Gru was feeling dejected, Wuju, who had been lost in thought for a moment, asked.
“Can’t you gather the electricity and shoot it?”
“Gather?”
“Right now the electricity spreads out in all directions like this, right?”
Wuju, holding a tree branch, drew squiggly lines around the triangle like steam rising.
“Yeah, like Pikachu.”
“But if you gather that energy in one place and shoot it, wouldn’t it become that much stronger?”
“Like a gun?”
“Yeah.”
“Hooo….”
It was an interesting idea.
Han Gru poked at the dirt with her hand hoe and fell into thought.

Hyeonak’s Training Room.
Gidan, who had come out after changing clothes, received a sports drink from the PR Team’s content filming staff who had been waiting for him.
“Dana, shall we take a short break and then film the training video?”
“Yes~ Dan is on the move~”
Gidan answered playfully while wiping his face with a towel.
He had just returned from filming a strategy video wearing clothes with sponsor marks.
Since the video time that needed to be filmed was specified in the contract, he had to diligently film whenever he had spare time.
So he was planning to rest a bit and then film the training video.
Gidan hung the towel around his neck and asked PR Team Leader Hwang Yumin.
“Lee Soyeon targeted us. Is the company situation getting bad because of that?”
Hwang Yumin let out a small sigh.
“It’s bad, but is this the first or second time something like this has happened? It’ll all pass. It’ll quiet down over time anyway, but the problem is that it’s right during the sponsor contract renewal period.”
If all the contracts get terminated at once and new contracts stop until public opinion calms down, this quarter’s sales would be…
Hwang Yumin cursed Lee Soyeon and ground her teeth.
When a scary sound like teeth breaking came from inside Hwang Yumin’s mouth, Gidan got completely scared and nodded his head.
“I see…”
“You don’t need to worry too much. The demand for S-Rank idols is always overflowing.”
Idol, really. Gidan chuckled and replied with a sulky tone.
“So you mean you’ll work me hard to make up for the losses?”
“Mm, smart. As expected of the man who avoided grade retention.”
“Ah, noona! I told you the grade retention was because of attendance!”
Hwang Yumin giggled and stepped back from the thoroughly annoyed Gidan.
“Well, don’t worry. We wanted to see ourselves get screwed. We just got screwed.”
“Where is there a person who says that and then tells you not to worry?”
She crossed her arms and scrunched up her face.
“So you see, in difficult times like this, if our Jjapso Hunter could step forward and, you know, show his face in Hyeonak’s promotional videos, huh?”
Gidan smiled quietly at Hwang Yumin’s wish.
“That would be difficult.”
“Or even Sergey…”
It was when Hwang Yumin was trying to somehow increase Hyeonak’s promotional ambassadors during this difficult time.
Squeak squeak, squeak squeak-
A four-wheeled bicycle energetically entered the training room.
– Gidani! I have a proposal…
The mechanical voice trailed off and stopped.
The gazes of the staff preparing for filming and Gidan, everyone’s attention turned to the bear doll pulling the four-wheeled bicycle.
“…Jjapso?”
As soon as someone said that, the four-wheeled bicycle spun around.
Squeak squeak- squeak-
The four-wheeled bicycle was returning to the training room entrance at quite a speed.
‘I’ve been caught!’
Han Gru quickly moved her feet, trying to get outside.
However.
Grab!
‘Nngh! Nnngh!’
The pedals wouldn’t move.
‘It won’t budge!’
The face of the Unfinished Bear slowly turned to look behind.
The long rear handle was being held by a woman.
“Hunter! We’ve been waiting for you! We’ll take excellent care of you today!”
PR Team Leader Hwang Yumin was grinning broadly as if she had caught her prey perfectly. Staff members also gathered in groups of three and five, surrounding Han Gru.
‘Sc-scary!’
Among the long shadows stretching out, Han Gru trembled her shoulders.
Gidan pressed his forehead with a troubled expression.
He knew it was Han Gru when he heard the bicycle sound, but he never expected her to come fully equipped.
‘This is trouble.’
The PR Team hyenas would never let go of Jjapso who had rolled in on her own feet.
