Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 213

As the blazing light from the potato that had been burning intensely in an instant subsided, only a blackened potato was left sitting there all alone.

‘It failed.’

‘It’s completely burnt black…?’

In front of the pitch-black potato, On Jurim and Gidan kept their mouths tightly shut while watching Han Gru’s reaction.

While skill failure wasn’t a big deal, it was because they read various emotions from the child’s twitching lips and dimming eyes.

Gidan sent a look to On Jurim telling him to do something about it.

In response, On Jurim barely opened his mouth to try to comfort Han Gru.

“The potato… cooked deliciously.”

“…?!”

Gidan, who was dumbfounded, turned to look at him-

“…”

Zing, Han Gru glared at On Jurim and took a deep breath to calm herself.

“…Gru, should hyung show you something fun?”

Han Gru shook her head side to side and pouted her lips.

“Gru wants to go home…”

“I’ll take you there.”

“Hyung, I’ll go with Gru.”

On Jurim and Gidan both stood up at the same time.

However, Han Gru shook her head side to side.

“I want to go with Yoon Siljjang…”

Han Gru looked at the two of them wistfully.

“Gru wants to be alone…”

Leaving behind the two who were exchanging glances as if telling each other to say something, Han Gru slipped out with quick steps and went straight into the bathroom that was very far from the Guild Leader’s Office.

And sitting on the toilet, she split the steaming potato in half with sparkling eyes.

A hard gem-like crystal in the shape of a seed was embedded inside the baked potato.

Inside the crystal-clear crystal, a small magic stone was continuously blazing like the sun.

[Achievement: 【POTATO MASTER】 achieved!]

-You are a master of potatoes. You can harvest all potatoes, and the grade of potatoes can often be increased when harvesting.

[You have created a new substance that doesn’t exist in the world.]

[Please write a name.]

[ ]

A window for writing the name of the new substance appeared.

Han Gru’s favorite thing – naming!

It should be something pretty and cool.

[Critato]

The moment she synthesized a crystal-like transparent and pretty gem with a potato and wrote the name ‘Critato’-

[Seed Potato Containing Critato Reactor (S+)]

A potato containing a Critato power source.

The Critato power source draws out the mana energy of magic stones more powerfully and efficiently than before.

When planted in the ground, tubers grow in clusters from the roots, and the grade of harvested potatoes is affected by various environmental factors.

-A name for the new variety of potato was also created.

‘Ooh.’

It meant that the potato itself containing the crystal called ‘Critato Reactor’ becomes a seed potato, and when planted, it grows like a potato.

Fidgeting. Gru opened the crafting helper app for children and opened the blueprint to check the detailed information.

The ‘Critato Reactor’ was a combination of magic stones and transformation mechanisms, a type of magic stone booster that converts magic stones into something called Critato, repeating rampages to boost energy efficiency up to 80%.

Drawing out 80% energy efficiency from magic stones meant being able to extract the maximum output of the current era.

It was an output more than 15 times that of commonly used magic stone energy.

‘Hooh…!’

Not only that, she could even earn Achievement to raise the grade of harvested potatoes.

Gru squeezed her eyes shut and covered her mouth with her hand to block the scream that was about to escape.

“~~~!”

If she screamed here, everything would go down the drain!

‘Dad would find out!’

The reason for keeping the skill success a secret was none other than because of Dad.

That look of him staring at Gru with narrowed eyes!

Dad was definitely suspecting whether Gru had caused trouble somewhere again.

‘Gru now has perfect data on Dad!’

Gru, with eagle eyes, pretended to push up glasses she wasn’t wearing.

If he found out the skill succeeded, Dad would definitely investigate about the potato.

Then naturally he would ask about the source of the transformation item too.

If she said she obtained it by attacking a ‘somewhat suspicious person’ in the middle of the night, would he really let her use that item?

When faced with such a situation, Gru’s feelings according to Dad’s reaction would be as follows.

1. When telling Dad right away

1) Praise→Good mood

2) No way→Bad mood

2. When telling after causing trouble

1) Praise→Good mood

2) Getting scolded→Unfair but fun

In that case, even the Chick Class’s top model student (self-proclaimed) had no choice but to pick option 2!

Gru bit her lips tightly and swallowed her tears as she looked up at the ceiling.

‘Dad, I’m sorry. But Gru has something she absolutely must do.’

With this… with this reactor! She would show everyone who ignored Gru what for!

It wasn’t a lie that Gru had been going around with her mouth open for reasons other than just vaccinations.

These days, whenever she turned on the Internet, all she saw were stories about what China said about drones, or what comments Japan made about drones. When she clicked on them, the content was always the same.

‘Rail Gun Drone? That’s nothing special.’

“Huwup!”

Taking a deep breath, Gru puffed out her cheeks and calmed her bubbling chest.

Gru was also a craftsman.

She couldn’t just sit idly by and watch her precious creation, which she had even named ‘Mephistopheles Series Prototype’ after Mephistopheles, be disparaged.

The problem with the Chick Drone was its low energy efficiency and the considerable Magic Stone consumption needed to handle its output.

Although detailed specs hadn’t been released since the drone wasn’t on the market yet, while responding to the flood of questions, it had become well known that ‘despite being a B-grade auxiliary weapon, it had terrifyingly low energy efficiency, only able to fire bullets twice with an A-grade Magic Stone.’

Because of this, those who agreed with China and Japan’s opinions were now even calling Gru’s drone the ‘Emperor Drone’ to mock it.

It was sarcasm that only an Emperor could afford to use such a weapon.

Gru snorted through her nose.

‘But what if the Potato Booster appears here?’

Ta-da!

If she equipped the drone with this and sold it, she could deliver a counter punch to the forces that had been slandering Gru’s baby drone, and receive tremendous praise from those who had been looking forward to it.

‘Praise↑=Filial Piety Points↑’

She could already envision the Filial Piety Points piling up in her piggy bank.

Hehehe.

When that time came, Dad would naturally find out too.

If she increased the numbers tremendously before they got confiscated, Dad would have no choice.

The abundantly grown potatoes would be everywhere.

‘Uhehe.’

Holding the halved potato in both hands, Gru smiled sinisterly.

Then Mephistopheles, who knew nothing, tried to peck at the roasted potato (S+) covered with seeds.

“Ah no, don’t eat it~”

Gru whispered and hurriedly took out the reactor from inside the potato.

[Critato Reactor (S)]

Single use. Depleted when all Magic Stone catalyst is consumed.

‘It’s single use. Would seed potatoes grow better if I give them nutrients too?’

They said the grade changes depending on various environmental factors.

Gru, who was selecting several well-sunlit locations rich in magical power, hummed a potato song she made up.

* * *

The first seed potato cultivation experiment location was the Forsythia Garden.

It was special soil rich in nutrients, and since it was a place where Wuju and potatoes had been grown all along, it wouldn’t arouse any particular suspicion.

Gru planted the seed potatoes in the Forsythia Garden, gave them plenty of sunlight, and provided them with nutrients extracted from Wuju.

And the next day, after school.

Gru, who had finished horseback riding and visited the Forsythia Garden, opened her mouth in amazement.

‘It grew in just one day?!’

A long stem had grown straight up.

Gru dug through the ground with her trowel, grabbed the stem, and pulled it up.

But the potatoes didn’t budge like solid rocks, as if mocking her pathetic strength of 2.

“He-help me!”

Then Veilak and Mephistopheles grabbed the stem together and pulled.

Heave.

Rustle!

[Seed Potato Containing Critato Reactor (F+)]

[Seed Potato Containing Critato Reactor (F+)]

[Seed Potato Containing Critato Reactor (F+)]

…

…

[The potato’s grade increases due to Achievement ‘Potato Master’!]

[Seed Potato Containing Critato Reactor (E+)]

A status window popped up, and among the clusters of tubers hanging down, one E-rank potato was included.

Gru’s eyes narrowed.

Only E+?

Could it be that the first S-rank was just a fluke?

“Hiyung….”

Her dejected face brightened again at a passing thought.

‘No, that’s not it.’

Since it was said to be affected by various environments, maybe a different method was needed.

Gru thought of various environments.

Soil overflowing with nutrients, warm sunlight, clean water, Gru’s love, kind words….

The Chick Class Teacher had said that if you speak lots of kind words to them, crops will grow healthy too.

‘Hmm, this time I should try telling them I love them lots.’

While Gru hummed with her plump cheeks flushed red.

“Myuut….”

“Piit….”

Mephistopheles and Veilak, who had dug up potatoes together, leaned back-to-back and let out groaning sounds. It seemed quite taxing for their small bodies to dig up potatoes.

Gru, who had been carefully packing potatoes into her bag, pouted as she looked at the potatoes that wouldn’t fit in the castle.

‘Hard to deal with.’

At this rate, Gru’s bag would become an F-Grade Potato gift box!

“Hmm.”

Gru stroked her chin.

F-Grade Reactors can only use F-Grade Magic Stones as catalysts, so they wouldn’t have much effect on the drone.

But they might be useful to someone. Probably?

‘Let’s just take out the reactors and sell them.’

If she left them with the Agency anonymously like before, they would handle it for her.

It should at least earn some pocket money.

Gru thought lightly and rolled the E+ Grade Potato in her hand with a bright smile.
