Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 2

* * *

Gru awakened while receiving tooth brushing education at kindergarten.

While standing together in front of the mirror brushing their teeth with chika-chika sounds, a Status Window appeared before his eyes.

[For smooth communication between caster and system, adjusting caster’s thinking ability.]

[Update 85% in progress…]

Panicked Gru opened his mouth wide, and the Homeroom Teacher who was watching diligently wiped away the flowing toothpaste and saliva.

“Teacher, Gru, there’s something weird in front-”

He tried to say something weird was visible, but-

“Teacher!! I need to poop!!”

“Teacherrrrr- That kid pooped!!!”

“Teacher, Bin is sleepy-”

For Gru to consult about his situation, the Kindergarten Homeroom Teacher was far too busy a person.

Gru, who had become quite smart due to the system’s influence, decided not to bother the teacher who was running around busily.

Gru was also 4 years old this year. He was at an age where he could solve his own problems by himself.

[Update complete.]

The update finished just as nap time was approaching.

Gru lay down on his bed and quietly stared at the Status Window.

[Opening system.]

‘Thump thump.’

Gru clenched his sweaty hands and waited for the Status Window to open.

Gru also knew at least that he had awakened.

Even at kindergarten, there wasn’t a single child who didn’t know about awakened ones, and there were many friends who wanted to become hunters when they grew up.

Since Gru’s dream wasn’t to become a hunter but to become Gudetama (an egg-shaped character), he couldn’t achieve his dream, but he had no complaints about getting a profession that others envied.

[Skill unlock]

[Broken System Engine Crafting (L): Oh no! The system engine is broken!]

Crafting: Creation

‘L?’

Currently, the alphabet Gru had learned went up to S. They said S-rank was the highest for hunters too.

But the letter before his eyes was L. So where would that be?

‘A, B, C, D…’

As I went through the alphabet I had learned one by one, the system added explanations at my level.

[Legend: One grade higher than S, meaning the highest rank.]

The system even kindly wrote out how to read it.

[Confirming caster’s age.]

[Child protection system activated due to (Unknown Title).]

[Quest: Children need reliable guardians. Let’s find a trustworthy guardian.]

[Reward: Child Protection Skill unlock]

Looking at the Quest window, Groot opened his mouth wide.

Guardian? Mama? Papa? These words floated around in his head.

As he blinked his sleepy eyes, fluffy clouds began forming in his mind.

From the white clouds, hands and feet popped out, becoming two sheep.

Mama Sheep and Papa Sheep pulled off their own wool to make a small Baby Sheep and hugged it tightly.

‘Mama, Papa…’

The reason he needed a guardian. It was probably because Groot had no mama or papa.

Groot had grown up in the orphanage since he was a baby.

From what he had experienced so far, there were two ways for a child raised in an orphanage to be with mama and papa.

First, being adopted into a new home.

But the children who could be adopted were limited, and you couldn’t just be adopted because you wanted to.

‘This won’t work.’

Second, birth parents coming back to get you.

At the orphanage, there were often children whose parents came looking for them. They would cry, saying they had no choice but to abandon their child due to difficult circumstances, and were sorry for only coming now.

‘Maybe Groot’s mama and papa are like that too…’

Maybe their circumstances were difficult right now, so they couldn’t come get Groot.

Groot wiped away the tears that had started to form.

If mama and papa couldn’t come find Groot because of difficult circumstances, there was only one conclusion.

‘Let’s make money!’

TV always talked about how hunters made money.

Some programs would broadcast all about how much hunters earned and what nice houses they lived in.

‘Groot can do it too!’

If he became a hunter and made lots of money, he could live with mama and papa too.

‘Hehe.’

Groot smiled while imagining the joy of being with mama and papa.

Then he decided on a few rules first.

Keep it secret that Groot was making money.

Good children sometimes received pocket money from adults, but at the orphanage, children who had a lot would have it taken away.

Especially the older sisters and brothers who had to leave the orphanage showed more obsession with money due to anxiety about life outside.

Recalling the incident when his allowance was taken away, Gru made a groaning sound of distress.

‘Yeah, let’s keep it as Gru’s secret.’

Becoming a hunter, earning money, everything!

Therefore, he should receive minimal help from others.

Phew, Gru let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was fortunate he hadn’t told the kindergarten teacher.

And then-

“Gru, what are you doing instead of sleeping?”

“Hic!”

It was the Homeroom Teacher.

Gru pulled the blanket up to his neck and squeezed his eyes shut.

He tried to keep his eyes closed until the teacher left, but he couldn’t resist the gentle patting on his body.

His mind became hazy. Could the teacher also be an awakened one?

Hit by a powerful Lullaby Skill (probably L-rank), Gru gradually drifted off to sleep.

* * *

After awakening, Gru began gathering various information through the orphanage’s library, TV, internet, and other sources.

Thanks to becoming quite smart due to system adjustments, he didn’t forget what he learned and could easily understand even difficult and complex parts.

Gru opened his Status Window quite skillfully.

Name: Han Gru

Level: LV. 1

Title: ■■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■(Cannot be viewed)

[Quest]

Top Priority Quest: Children need reliable guardians!

[Passive Skill]

Broken System Engine Crafting(L): Oh my! The system engine is broken! (Helps children express creativity and provides excellent growth opportunities.)

[Active Skills]

Knead Knead(F): Let’s freely mix and combine to make various toys.

Extract Extract(D): Let’s extract what properties each material has.

Dungeon is an Open Door(A): Let’s open the door and explore the dungeon.

The active skills Gru possessed were ordinary in some ways. They were just basic skills that crafting-type hunters typically had.

But what made Gru special was his passive skill.

Gru’s passive skill enabled extraction and synthesis from not only Dungeon Byproducts, but from everything that exists in the world.

The very first thing Gru extracted with ‘Extract Extract’ was Poro X Chewable Vitamin.

[Activating skill ‘Extract Extract’.]

When he cast the extraction, it became a star candy-shaped item and was placed on his palm.

[You have obtained ‘Vitamin(F)’.]

‘Ooh.’

He couldn’t gauge how amazing it was, but it couldn’t help but be the optimal skill for Groot.

After all, Groot was a kindergartener who couldn’t even explore dungeons and had no money to buy dungeon byproducts.

After that, he attempted various extractions and syntheses. As his proficiency increased accordingly, the grade of ‘Knead Knead’ rose to E.

Thanks to this, Groot was able to make quite a few interesting toys.

Just as he was having fun imagining what to make next, Groot covered his mouth.

‘This isn’t the time for this!’

He shouldn’t be getting excited and playing around – he needed to make money!
