Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 183

At that moment, the bag began to wriggle.

Startled, he quickly opened the bag and Veilak popped out, transformed into a child.

“Lord, your proficiency has increased.”

“Uung… a little.”

The proficiency didn’t seem to rise as easily as expected, having only increased slightly.

“You’re becoming human frequently. Your form and maintenance time are more stable than before.”

“Um, don’t you have to become a hamster often?”

“…”

Veilak made a disgusted face.

“Skills are activated by the owner’s will. Whether I become a hamster or take human form, my appearance is determined and maintained according to the owner’s will and needs. Right now, it means you need my protection, Lord.”

Gru, who didn’t understand at all, pressed his lips together with a serious expression.

Veilak helped Gru up, dusted off his knees, and spoke calmly.

“I am your familiar and your guardian, Lord.”

“Um.”

Gru nodded his head.

What’s he talking about?

“It means you can order me to do anything.”

As if he expected this, Veilak calmly played the role of an explainer again.

“I see…”

“So I’ll handle things that make you upset, Lord.”

“Will Bay do that for me?”

Would Veilak become his sports day partner?

He wanted to do it with Wuju though…

Feeling sad again, Gru stuck out his lips and made a walnut shape with his chin.

“Huung… I understand.”

“Then I’ll go kill him.”

Gru’s mouth fell open.

“Suddenly what?”

“That delicious-looking- I mean, the child who made you upset, Lord.”

Gru grabbed Veilak’s wrist and furrowed his brow.

“Bay, stop drooling.”

“…”

Veilak wiped his mouth, which was wet with drool, with the back of his hand.

“Sigh.”

It was troublesome that Veilak kept wanting to eat Wuju.

“Bay will be Gru’s sports day partner.”

“…”

Veilark scrunched up his face. He really looked like he hated the idea.

Having heard the explanation from inside the bag, he roughly knew what a sports festival was and what a partner had to do.

His lord’s words meant asking him to play together by doing physical activities.

“I am Veilark Shados. The first star of Shados and the first familiar of Sheyer. There’s a significant difference in status for me to participate in such childish games…”

As Veilark spoke like an old-fashioned person and acted pompous, Gru cut him off.

“B-but! If you work really hard, you might get something Bay likes.”

“Something I like?”

“A tablet PC.”

Gru searched for tablet PCs on his phone and showed it to him.

“What’s this?”

“It’s like a phone, but adults usually use this to watch YouTube and stuff. And with this…”

Gru paused and curled up his lips.

“You can watch that.”

Veilark gasped at that cunning expression.

“…Don’t tell me!”

“Yeah, you can watch ‘Zombie Hunter’.”

Gru’s phone and tablet had ‘Kids Lock’ on them, so he couldn’t watch what he wanted freely.

These days, there were all kinds of apps that made it possible for parents to monitor everything their children did on phones or tablets.

But if Veilark got the tablet?

He could bypass Kids Lock and watch ‘Zombie Hunter’ freely.

Mephistopheles, who caught on to this, also lit up his eyes.

Before they knew it, putting aside their resentment toward Wuju, the three of them – Gru, Veilark, and Mephistopheles – became united and exchanged meaningful looks.

Even without expressing it in words, the three shared the same goal.

‘Win at the sports festival. Win and get the tablet PC!’

* * *

And on the day of the sports festival.

Since it was an Awakener Special School, media and guild attention was high, so many students in the High School Division prepared quite seriously for future employment opportunities.

People walked around the school campus filled with excitement, looking forward to the athletic competition.

“Is Sergey participating today?”

“I don’t know either. But I’m looking forward to it.”

“Is there anyone who can compete with Sergey? Gidan?”

“Gidan was slacking off during the last sports festival too, wasn’t he?”

While families, media, and guild officials were bustling around, behind a tree in the park.

Gru with Mephistopheles on his head and Veilark were whispering.

“Here. We’re on the blue team, so we have to tie this on.”

Veilark took the string Gru offered and tied it around his forehead.

Gru also tied a blue string around Mepi’s head with a small ribbon.

When Wuju didn’t participate in the sports festival, the Chick Class Teacher specially allowed another friend to participate for the sake of the dejected Gru.

Gru tied her hair up high in a ponytail and fastened the blue team’s string around her forehead.

The mandatory events for the Kindergarten Department’s Chick Class were ‘Breaking the Piñata’ and ‘Three-Legged Race’.

The Chick Class Teacher recommended doing the three-legged race with family, but Gru deliberately didn’t call Jurim.

Because Veilak participating in the sports festival was a secret!

The prize was a tablet PC, and if Jurim found out that Veilak had received this too?

‘Bay would also get caught by parental controls!’

Then their ‘Zombie Hunter Plan’ would go down the drain.

…Though that wasn’t the only reason.

‘Dad would be a hindrance.’

If the number 1 ranker was there, the opponents definitely wouldn’t compete properly, right?

Sports should be enjoyed fairly and squarely, and Jurim’s very existence was cheating.

Which meant he’d be in the perfect position to get booed at a children’s sports festival.

No matter how much Hyeonak was a guild that regularly got cursed at, she couldn’t let them get cursed at even on a day like this.

Dad seemed hurt in an uncharacteristic way, though.

‘Sorry, Dad.’

Gru looked up at the sky and briefly apologized before getting up.

‘But I can’t give up on Zombie Hunter!’

Veilak, who had firmly tied the blue string around his forehead, solemnly extended his hand.

“Are you ready, Lord?”

“Of course, Bay.”

Clap! Gru roughly clasped his hand.

“Chirp!”

Mepi lifted one leg and spread her wings wide.

Let’s go. For Zombie Hunter!

* * *

[Blue 0:0 Red]

As the sports festival began in earnest, a hologram was projected into the sky.

What the hologram showed was the scores of the Blue Team and Red Team.

From now on, all the game scores would be recorded up there.

“Hmph.”

The Blue Team’s first victory should be brought by Gru.

Gru puffed out her breath and steeled her resolve.

The first event was ball rolling.

Gru, who was matched against the Red Team’s Kindergarten Department Giraffe Class, attached the large number tag “3” to her back and entered the sports field.

In front of a ball so large that two kindergarteners could barely roll it, Gru rolled her head left and right.

She was quite nervous, so both her hands were drenched with sweat.

‘Gru, all stats 2 except for magical power.’

On the other hand, her opponent was…

Gru glanced sideways at Giraffe Class number 3.

Six-year-olds who were at least a year older than Gru. Their gross motor skills would be more developed, and both were at least ten centimeters taller.

“This won’t be easy.”

Gru whispered to Veilak, sensing the momentum of the opposing kindergarteners.

Then Veilak whispered back in response.

“Don’t worry, Lord.”

Veilak drew up a very small amount of magical power.

“I am your familiar and guardian.”

Along with that, the ball slightly floated up.

“Huh?”

He had slightly adjusted gravity to make the ball float upward.

Veilak bared his shark teeth and giggled.

“There’s no need to roll the ball with such a frail body.”

Tweet-

The whistle sounded.

There was no time to be surprised.

Gru put his hand on the floating ball and pushed it to adjust the direction.

Light as a feather, smooth handling that didn’t even feel like rolling!

“So awesome!”

Gru exclaimed in admiration, and the sports day announcer’s eyes widened as he pointed at Gru’s team’s ball.

“What’s that over there! The ball is floating! Is this superconductor ball rolling!”

Gru furrowed his brow.

“Super, superstamp?”

What was he talking about?

But Veilak didn’t know what a superconductor was either.

“Superstamp?”

What’s he talking about?

Anyway, while Gru and Veilak were diligently following the ball.

“Blue Team number 3 over there!”

Gasp! Gru, who had been called out, quickly turned his head.

“It appears you’re an Awakened team!”

Gru hurriedly nodded his head.

“The rule for ball rolling is to roll the ball! Team number 3! Disqualified!”
