Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 17
Just then, the door burst open and Nayeon walked in.
“Gru! Were you okay by yourself? You missed your sister, didn’t you? I’m sorry. I tried to come quickly, but they insisted I stay to hear the measurement results!”
She pulled Gru into her arms and rubbed their cheeks together vigorously while lamenting.
“Sistwer~ Gru missed sister so much, but I endured it and stayed alone like a good boy…”
“Aww- Gru…”
Gru also hugged Nayeon back and whimpered while rubbing his face against hers.
After having a tearful reunion like sisters meeting after years apart, Nayeon suddenly turned her gaze.
“But who might you be?”
“Hunter Shin Nayeon. I’m Jin Siwon, team leader of Management Bureau Special Investigation Team 1. I’m truly sorry about today’s incident.”
He paused briefly to choose his words before speaking.
“We caused you trouble.”
Nayeon was slightly impressed by his fluent Korean and shook her head.
“No, I didn’t even see the demon’s tail. I heard some incredible team leader handled everything… Could that be?”
“Ah, yes. That seems to be me.”
Jin Siwon laughed awkwardly and blushed.
“But Hunter, did you come to the Center for re-measurement?”
“No, not me.”
Nayeon gestured toward Gru, who was taking out and biting on a red ginseng flavored candy.
Gru blinked while biting the candy. His cheek bulged out where the candy was.
‘Red ginseng flavor… it’s weird but addictive.’
“Ah, so… this cute friend is an Awakened?”
“Yes. That’s why we came to register.”
“I see…”
A gray glint flashed in Jin Siwon’s eyes behind his glasses.
* * *
Bad premonitions always tended to come true.
Jurim, who had spotted Gru and Jin Siwon through CCTV using his skill ‘Internal Interference’, let out a sigh.
This is troublesome. He slowly tilted his head. Of all people, it had to be someone from the Management Bureau.
‘I can’t just kill a Management Bureau official.’
Of course, killing would ensure perfect silence, but getting caught by investigative agencies could lead to even more troublesome matters.
‘Is being too outstanding also a problem?’
It was a method he didn’t want to use if possible, but there was no choice.
Jurim bit the tip of his glove with his teeth.
As his long hand slipped out, his chest area pulsed greatly.
Thump!
[99th Floor, the Ruler of Frozen Land awakens.]
Magic power drained out all at once as a golden gleam flashed in his eyes.
In an instant, the Land of Ice rose like a phantom.
On the pale frozen earth stood only one majestic throne.
The ruler sitting on that Eternal Permafrost Throne with apparent boredom slowly raised his index finger.
[Activating skill ‘Walpurgis Night’.]
‘Walpurgis Night’ was the power of the 99th Floor’s master, and On Jurim could use all the powers possessed by the masters from the 1st to 99th floors of the Tower.
On Jurim placed his left hand against the Center’s wall. Using Super Sense to gauge the Center’s size, he designated the entire Center as his domain.
[96th Floor, activating skill ‘Silent Orpheus’.]
Click!
In an instant, as if a switch had been turned off, all magic power flow in the vicinity stopped.
As if On Jurim putting his glove and left hand in his pocket was a signal, the Center that had regained its normalcy began to fall into chaos again.
“Teacher Heejeong, our Measurement Room 5 is completely dead!”
As everything that used Magic Stones stopped working, employees knocked on the malfunctioning equipment. Several of them rushed outside urgently to report the situation.
“What? Room 5 too? Room 4 isn’t working either! What’s going on?”
Employees who had turned pale in an instant ran around everywhere.
“No, I’m not an unawakened person, but suddenly I can’t use my skills! This is so frustrating, really!”
Among the people who came to register as Awakened, laments were exchanged.
On Jurim crossed the corridor that had become a scene of chaos with an indifferent expression.
Within his domain, no one would be able to activate any skills.
On Jurim passed by them with leisurely steps as if everything was unrelated to him.
Just then, he saw Jin Siwon hurrying from the opposite direction.
He was being led by an employee and rushing somewhere urgently due to the Center’s abnormal phenomena.
Jin Siwon, who looked surprised upon discovering On Jurim, gave an awkward bow, and On Jurim nodded once before turning his gaze away.
Just then, Han Gru and Nayeon were coming out of the waiting room.
“Guild leader!”
Han Gru, who spotted On Jurim, widened his eyes and came running toward him with pattering steps.
What was he so happy about that he came running like a puppy?
Without even realizing his lips were forming an arc, he bent one knee to receive Han Gru.
“Han Gru, were you being good?”
“Yes!”
“Finished with registration too?”
“Yes! Nayeon unnie helped me, and they said Han Gru is F-rank!”
“That’s good. What’s that in your mouth?”
“Red ginseng candy.”
“….”
Gru moved the candy to the other side of his mouth and spoke hesitantly.
“The taste is… kind of mysterious.”
…It would be mysterious.
“You shouldn’t eat just anything from strangers. Spit it out.”
On Jurim cupped his hand near the child’s mouth.
Then Gru covered his mouth with both hands and shook his head back and forth.
“Quickly.”
“Hmph.”
When Gru reluctantly spat out the candy, On Jurim briefly clenched and opened his fist. The Red Ginseng Candy turned to powder and disappeared.
Gru wiped On Jurim’s hand with his sleeve, looking tearful.
When he smiled lightly and patted Gru’s head with that hand, the child recoiled in shock.
“Let’s go.”
As On Jurim stood up, Nayeon quietly approached from the side.
“Guild Master, it seems there’s another commotion at the Center.”
“Is that so.”
He answered indifferently and started moving. When Gru reached out to hold his hand, On Jurim extended his left hand for him to grasp.
Gru looked back and forth between On Jurim’s hands, feeling the warmth from their joined hands.
‘No Glove?!’
Is this serious!
When he looked up at On Jurim in confusion, he pressed his index finger to his lips with a “shh.”
Shh! Gru mimicked zipping his lips shut.
He felt like an agent dispatched on a secret mission.
‘Guild Master… is up to something.’
Thump thump.
Gru pretended to be calm while gripping On Jurim’s hand tighter.
Tick tock. As time continued to pass and the commotion intensified, cold sweat dripped from On Jurim’s temple.
Chapter3 99th Floor
Upon arriving home, Gru watched with a shocked expression as On Jurim strode toward the center of the Living Room.
His shirt was already soaked with sweat.
“Guild Master…?”
Could he be sick? Gru hurried toward him with quick steps.
On Jurim’s face was pale and rough breathing sounds could be heard.
His heart began to race at the alarming sight.
Now was not the time to keep secrets.
He needed to call for help. But who?
Gru trembled as he took out his Kids Phone.
“1, 119…!”
As he pressed the number keys firmly, On Jurim snatched the Phone away.
“…I’m fine.”
He staggered and leaned his body against the back of the sofa.
“Gru, you should go to your room-”
Before he could finish speaking, his body tilted and swayed.
“-and stay there.”
As Jurim’s body collapsed to the floor, Gru froze, his face turning pale. His heart dropped with a thud.
At the same time, with a beeping sound, the Door Lock disengaged and the door opened.
“Guild Master!”
It was Yoon Seojun.
* * *
“The Guild Master is just sleeping, so don’t worry, Miss Gru.”
Gru, who had been kneeling by the bedside where Jurim lay, looked up. The child kept her mouth tightly shut while tears streamed down from her large eyes.
Oh dear. Yoon Seojun wiped away her tears with a troubled expression.
“Sniff, sleeping? Sob, sob!”
“Miss Gru, you know that there used to be a ‘Tower’ before, right?”
