Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 293

* * *

After school, Justitia Kindergarten Backyard.

Han Gru went and stood in front of Kang Jei and Gu Huiyeon.

Gu Huiyeon looked around as if searching for Wuju, but Han Gru struck first.

He held up his tablet and read out the results in a clear voice.

“Peer evaluation S, goods sales 1st place, physical S, foolish bewilderment, attendance excellent.”

Gu Huiyeon and Kang Jei clasped their hands together tightly.

“Combining all the results, the Hyeonak Tower is…”

Han Gru lowered his tablet and solemnly declared.

“Shin Nayeon Hunter.”

Immediately, complaints could be heard.

“How can that be!”

“Are you kidding me?!”

“Suddenly Nayeon Hunter doesn’t make sense!”

“This is invalid, invalid!”

As expected, the two didn’t accept this evaluation.

Gu Huiyeon angrily demanded they bring Wuju, and Kang Jei grabbed Han Gru’s shoulders and shook him, telling him not to lie.

Surrounded by the two who were screeching like monkeys, Han Gru thought of Nayeon with a wistful expression.

Competition between friends is enough. Such things only drive friends apart and damage friendship.

For this reason, Han Gru had deliberately prevented Wuju from coming.

‘Han Gru is enough to be the villain…!’

Han Gru squeezed his eyes shut and covered his ears between ‘FoundationIsFuture’ and ‘SergeyHalJjak’ who were fighting, saying they needed to see his tablet.

After school, Justitia Kindergarten Backyard.

Gu Huiyeon looked around as if searching for Wuju, but Han Gru struck first.

Han Gru lowered his tablet and solemnly declared.

“Shin Nayeon Hunter.”

Immediately, complaints could be heard.

“Where does such a thing exist!”

“Are you kidding me?!”

“Suddenly it’s not Nayeon Hunter!”

“This is invalid, invalid!”

As expected, the two refused to acknowledge this evaluation.

Gu Huiyeon angrily demanded they bring Wuju, while Kang Jei grabbed Gru’s shoulders and shook him, telling him not to lie.

Surrounded by the two who were chattering like monkeys, Gru thought of Nayeon with a wistful expression.

Competition between friends is enough. Such things only drive friends apart and damage friendship.

For this reason, Gru had deliberately prevented Wuju from coming.

‘Gru is enough to be the villain…!’

Gru squeezed his eyes shut and covered his ears between the fighting ‘FoundationIsFuture’ and ‘SergeyHalJjak’, saying he needed to look at his tablet.

Chapter An Unexpected Ally

“Please come in. We’ve had the difficulty of meeting our Guild Master On Jurim, so I hope the table setting isn’t too modest.”

“Not at all.”

On Jurim didn’t hide his displeased expression as he looked at the powerful figure being modest before the elaborate table setting of the high-end restaurant.

The elderly man just kept smiling despite On Jurim’s expression.

“This time, Hyeonak’s Hunter has done something truly remarkable, so I thought we should show our appreciation.”

His counterpart was Chief Secretary Kwon Honggoon.

A key aide who directly assists the President.

The reason such a person requested this meeting probably wasn’t much different from what On Jurim was thinking.

‘It must be because of the Mephisto series.’

In fact, even now On Jurim was having a headache over the rental contract issues for the ‘Mephisto Series mk.3 (S+)’.

The development, production, and use of S+ rank and above equipment is strongly regulated internationally, and due to international agreements, the Mephisto Series mk.3 must also be attributed to the state in the form of a rental for now.

It meant that even though Gru made it, it couldn’t belong to Gru alone.

He had explained it well to Gru too, but he couldn’t tell if the child understood. The child had nodded while making a confused expression.

It was a face that said ‘If Dad says so, then it must be so.’

When the child was like this, he felt deep affection while also feeling heavy-hearted with responsibility.

“I’m only saying this now, but the appearance of S+ rank was a national celebration.”

On Jurim suppressed a bitter smile while pretending to drink water.

The ulterior motive behind specifically expressing it as a ‘national’ celebration was obvious.

The government side would want to somehow promote that they ‘proceeded with the rental contract advantageously.’

Especially now, the ruling party was in crisis because the son of a ruling party leader was involved in bribery issues.

Therefore, depending on how this contract proceeds, it could determine the outcome of the next election, so they must be even more anxious.

And that’s not all? If they could take a photo with Jjapso while they’re at it? The ruling party would immediately become the center of attention.

On Jurim had no interest in politics, but either way, having such an outstanding daughter was the problem.

“I wanted to meet and speak with our proud Production-type Hunter, but you firmly said it wouldn’t be possible-”

“This isn’t someone who should be brought to such a gathering.”

Kwon Honggoon tried to gauge what “such a gathering” meant, then let out an awkward “heh heh heh” laugh.

It was a laugh of annoyance at this much younger guy being so stubborn.

“Since we’ve arranged this meeting, I was hoping you could at least tell us that production-type hunter’s real name. Jjapso is… well, just the sound of it… don’t you think? It’s quite awkward to use in an official setting.”

Though it was annoying, it seemed like he was doing a good job hiding the child.

Seeing someone who was supposedly skilled in information warfare talking like this.

“That’s what he wants to be called, so please understand.”

“I see. What an eccentric person.”

Kwon Honggoon smiled as he picked up his chopsticks and ate some side dishes.

‘Playing hard to get, aren’t we.’

Meeting this Jjapso guy, shaking hands, and taking some photos shouldn’t be such a difficult request.

Tsk, he clicked his tongue and gulped down some water.

“That’s unfortunate. I thought there were many ways I could return the Guild Master’s kindness.”

On Jurim let out an inaudible sigh. He could practically hear the gears turning in the man’s head.

“Kindness?”

Now that he’d been rebuffed, was it time for threats?

Exactly as On Jurim expected, Kwon Honggoon cleanly wiped his mouth while smiling slyly.

“I’m talking about S+ crafting. There are many legal issues, aren’t there? S+ items are classified as weapons of mass destruction. You must know there are regulations on their development and production…”

On Jurim narrowed his eyes.

“Interesting. Just moments ago you called it a national celebration, but now it’s become a risk.”

“Every situation depends on which way and how you look at it, doesn’t it?”

On Jurim nodded as if it didn’t matter.

“If you say so, then I suppose that’s true.”

Though he had no interest in politics, On Jurim knew well that anything could become a problem if someone wanted to make it one.

“We don’t want to take the difficult path either. But if we investigate the development and production route of this S+ item, that hunter’s identity will be revealed anyway.”

“I see.”

“We’re not enemies, so there’s no need to make things complicated, is there?”

“Well, sure…”

At On Jurim’s blunt response, Kwon Honggoon’s expression brightened a little.

He thought they were finally starting to understand each other.

“Then-”

But cutting off Kwon Honggoon’s words, On Jurim opened his mouth.

“Former National Defense Business Research Institute Director Lee Soyeon left quite an interesting achievement behind. It was very impressive.”

Lee Soyeon.

When he brought up the former research director who had declared ‘I’m taking this to China because the government didn’t give me a budget and Hyeonak wouldn’t share technology,’ cracks appeared in Kwon Honggoon’s smile.

His words meant ‘You’re going to act like this? Then we’ll pack up and go to another country.’

Kwon Honggoon swallowed dryly.

“Guild Master On Jurim seems unaware of what happened to Lee Soyeon who went to China…”

Reading his desire to shout ‘Lee Soyeon was used and discarded!’, On Jurim asked back as if he’d heard something truly interesting.

“Do you think I’ll end up like Lee Soyeon?”

“….”

Kwon Honggoon was left speechless.

That couldn’t be true. On Jurim’s very existence could serve as a pillar for the nation.

Even now, brokers from various countries must be making contact with him.

He wasn’t unaware of this. On Jurim himself knew this all too well, which was why he spoke that way.

But for someone with all his foundations in Korea like him, moving to another country wasn’t an easy decision.

From his guild to his family, On Jurim had many responsibilities, unlike Lee Soyeon or Amakusa Kazuki.

“Guild Master On Jurim. As someone who has lived a bit longer in this world, let me give you some advice. Sometimes, you need to bend softly rather than just clash head-on.”

Hmm, On Jurim nodded as if he understood well.

“With that experience of yours, you should be able to bend this way and that quite well.”

At this strange retort, Kwon Honggoon was once again struck dumb.

That young guild master had a talent for leaving people speechless.

On Jurim smiled quietly and tapped the table.

Swoooosh-

“When you have power, you see.”

At the same time, the entire lavish table setting turned to dust and disappeared.

“There’s no need to bend.”

Only the water cup remained.

The brilliant golden light in his eyes faded away.

“Thank you for the meal. The water tastes good.”

After drinking only a few sips of water, On Jurim stood up, nodded his head in greeting, and walked out.

Click-

As the door closed, Kwon Honggoon clenched his fists in front of the empty table.

On Jurim’s last words kept echoing in his ears.

When you have power.

When you have power.

When you have power….

“….”

Kwon Honggoon, who had been keeping his mouth tightly shut, threw the water cup at the wall.

Crash-!

“That arrogant little brat…!”

Who does he think I am.

How dare he talk about power to the Chief Secretary?

Grind, Kwon Honggoon gnashed his teeth.

He had to find out Jjapso’s identity by any means necessary.

He vented his anger on the Secretary Staff who entered after hearing the loud noise.

“What have you all been doing until now! That guy called Jjapso, can’t you find him no matter what it takes?!”

“Pardon?”

But how could they find someone they hadn’t been able to locate despite searching everywhere?

“But….”

“That’s…”

As the secretary staff struggled for words, Kwon Honggoon shouted as if his anger had flared up even more.

“Find out everything by any means necessary! Investigate all the guild members too! Even that daughter that On Jurim is crazy about!”
