Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 279

* * *

“It might hurt just a little bit. Is that okay?”

When Lea asked gently in Korean through the translator, Han Gru nodded her head vigorously with determination.

“Good. Then just bear with it for a moment.”

Lea carefully wiped away the bloodstains from Han Gru’s knee and slowly poured potion onto the wound.

The wound healed completely right away, but a stinging pain briefly passed through.

Han Gru slightly frowned but endured the pain.

“Oh- you really endured it well, didn’t you?”

Han Gru burst into laughter with a proud expression, giggling “hehe.”

Lea held Han Gru’s face with both hands and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Cute.”

After receiving a kiss from the pretty older sister, Han Gru melted and her face turned bright red.

When her embarrassed expression became obvious, the German Team members nearby focused their attention on Han Gru one by one, saying “Cute” and “So cute.”

At the sudden rush of attention, Han Gru smiled but her body stiffened.

It was because she suddenly realized she was receiving lots of affection in the middle of the opposing team.

‘Is, is this okay?!’

Just then, a girl reached out her hand to touch Han Gru’s cheek.

Then Mephistopheles flapped his wings vigorously to push away the girl’s touch and gave a strong warning.

Finding this amusing, the girl burst into giggles.

While doing so, she playfully stroked Mephistopheles’ tiny face with her thumb and index finger.

[“Is this a chick?”]

[“It’s white though. Chicks should be yellow.”]

[“It kind of looks like a penguin too.”]

[“It’s not a penguin, just chubby.”]

The German Team Players observed Mephistopheles and exchanged comments back and forth. All while kneading Mephistopheles’ chubby flesh and wings with one hand.

“Squawk- Squeak!”

As a result, when Mephistopheles made strange crying sounds and caused a commotion, Veilak and Lucifer peeked their faces out from Han Gru’s bag to assess the situation.

[“What’s this. Why does this little one have so many animal friends?”]

[“Isn’t she a Disney princess?”]

At someone’s comment, everyone burst into laughter.

On the other hand, when Han Gru, who couldn’t understand the language at all, opened her eyes anxiously, Lea noticed this and stroked Han Gru’s head while speaking kindly.

“They didn’t say anything bad. Everyone thinks you’re cute.”

Han Gru rolled her eyes around and then looked down.

Nod nod.

If big sister says so, then it must be true.

Just then, Lea, who had been hesitating for a moment as if she wanted to say something, finally opened her mouth.

“Did someone do something bad to you?”

“Something bad?”

“Yeah. It wasn’t Hyeonak, was it?”

Asking out of the blue if Hyeonak had done something bad to her? Gru flinched in surprise and quickly shook her head.

“Nothing like that happened.”

“You can tell me honestly. I’m just like you.”

She had no idea what she was supposed to talk about. But what did she mean by being the same?

Gru looked confused as she met Lea’s eyes.

Could it be…?

“Our eyes?”

“Yeah. We have the same eyes. Can you see it?”

“Huh…?”

“So it’s okay to tell me.”

“Hmm?”

Tell her what exactly?

While Gru was blinking with a blank expression, still not understanding what this was about.

One of the German Team students who had been on a phone call made eye contact with Lea and pointed downward.

[“Lea, they want you to come down to the training room.”]

[“Already?”]

[“They said let’s just do some light warm-ups.”]

[“Alright. I was feeling stiff anyway.”]

Lea clenched her fists tightly and stood up.

Gru, who had been sitting on the sofa, also got up.

Now that her wounds were treated, was it time to leave?

Gru rolled her eyes around among those preparing to leave and pouted slightly.

She had come looking for weaknesses but gained nothing.

Along with the ridiculous misunderstanding about whether Hyeonak had done something bad to her, she had only received lots of affection.

Then, Lea, noticing Gru’s awkwardness, made a suggestion.

“Want to watch us train before you go?”

Training?!

There was no reason to refuse. Gru nodded vigorously.

* * *

The Awakener Special Training Room prepared in the dormitory basement.

After finishing her stretches, one of her teammates approached Lea as she was doing light running.

[“But is it okay to show our training to that little friend? That princess is from Hyeonak.”]

[“You knew?”]

[“Of course we all know that much. Dummy.”]

[“Still, it doesn’t matter. You’re confident we’ll win, right?”]

[“Lea, why are you suddenly so serious?”]

Lea glanced at Gru.

All the team members who had been listening to the story followed Lea’s gaze to look at Gru sitting on the bench.

[“I’m a bit heated up.”]

[“What?”]

She pointed back and forth between her own eyes and Gru.

The team members who knew Lea’s background each furrowed their brows.

[“Don’t tell me that kid also awakened artificially?”]

[“That must be it. So that’s why…”]

[Activating skill ‘Blessing of Victory (SS)’.]

Suddenly, six massive wings appeared and enveloped the German Team.

At the same time, the air in the training ground grew heavy as tremendous power spread out.

It looked as if a giant shield was protecting the entire team.

[“Let’s show them we’re strong enough to protect the baby.”]

Along with the sound of whistling, explosive noises filled the training ground.

Kwagwang!

The German Team members instantly destroyed the training equipment in one go, proving their strength.

“Huh!”

Gru gasped.

Even though Gru had seen training scenes every day at Hyeonak, she couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by their skills.

Each and every person seemed to have S-rank abilities.

But didn’t she hear that except for the S-rank supporter, they were all A-rank?

Just then, Veilak, who had transformed into human form and sat beside her, spoke.

“S-rank support class. Seems specialized in enhancement.”

At those words, Gru looked at Veilak with sparkling eyes.

“Support class? Isn’t that the hunter who heals hurt people?”

“That’s also correct. It includes everyone from healers to buffers, debuffers, and awakened with crowd control skills. Classes are just categories that humans arbitrarily divided.”

“Hmm…”

Veilak glanced at Gru, who looked completely lost, and added.

“That one seems like an S-rank awakened specialized in enhancement buffs.”

“Ah.”

So that’s it. Buffs!

There’s a way to become strong like that too.

For Gru, who had only seen healer-focused support class hunters until now, it was like a new world opening up.

Now she understood why various articles pointed out Hyeonak’s weak support line as a problem.

Germany had someone who could provide buffs to that extent.

‘They became as strong as if they ate Filial Piety Snacks.’

But unlike Filial Piety Snacks, there probably aren’t any debuffs.

‘Amazing….’

Gru, who had now witnessed firsthand just how much impact a support class could have on a team, gaped with her mouth open.

‘There are so many strong people in this world.’

Gru took out her chick drone and hugged it tightly.

As she did, she recalled the interviews with Jurim and Kazuki.

Their confident attitudes and the respectful gazes directed at them as well.

And she thought about Gidan and Sergey, who had cleared dungeons so effortlessly.

The S-ranks she had taken for granted until now felt like people from an entirely different world.

Gru turned her gaze back to the German Team, who were in the middle of training.

They were moving as if they had become one.

All these experiences felt like they were stimulating her entire body.

Her heart pounded as her horizons gradually expanded.

‘Gru wants to become stronger too.’

It felt as if hot blood was coursing through her entire body.

The intense heat reached her fingertips, making her resolve even firmer.

* * *

“Aunt!”

Gru spotted the Sitter and waved her hand.

The Sitter smiled brightly at Gru, then saw Lea standing beside her and bowed deeply.

“I heard you helped Gru when she was hurt. Thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

“Gru. You should say thank you.”

“Yesh. Thank you for helping Gru!”

Lea chuckled and spoke as if making a declaration.

“Give my regards to Hyeonak. We’re definitely going to win.”

Gru’s mouth opened into a triangle shape. Did she know that Gru was Hyeonak?

Gru soon clenched both fists tightly and said.

“G-Gru won’t lose either!”

Lea grinned.

“After the match is over, make sure to tell me honestly.”

Tell you what?

When Gru tilted her head as if she had no idea what Lea meant, Lea smiled slightly and patted Gru’s head.

“Let’s talk about that again after the exchange match is over.”

Nod nod.

Even though she didn’t know what it was about, it seemed better to talk about it properly later.

After finishing their greetings.

While holding the Sitter’s hand and toddling to the parking lot, Gru was reviewing today’s events when she felt dizzy.

‘They were a strong team.’

With the buff, it seemed like even Gidan and Sergey, who had S-Rank firepower, wouldn’t be able to push him back.

But could Hyeonak, carrying the burden that was himself, really defeat them?

‘Gru’s drone needs more modifications.’

Having made up her mind firmly, Gru raised the tips of her eyebrows sharply.
