Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 317
On Ijo smiled playfully and tapped his own head.
“I just knew. If I didn’t give up my power there, the Tower wouldn’t be conquered.”
On Ijo was a hero.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he had climbed to the 99th Floor with his own power.
The modifier “the being closest to god” rightfully existed for him.
What he had built up was by no means light.
Rather, fighting to the death with the master of the 100th Floor would have been a more hopeful proposal.
Professor Kim, who had been listening to On Ijo’s story with his mouth agape, asked back excitedly.
“Then, then! Are you saying you lost your power to conquer the Tower?!”
Unlike the excited professor, On Ijo answered dryly.
“Yes.”
At that moment, Jin Siwon blinked his eyes.
[‘Unknown Title’ is smiling.]
It passed by very briefly, but he definitely saw it.
The indirect message that appeared from On Ijo.
‘What was that?’
But it appeared so suddenly and disappeared in an instant that even Jin Siwon couldn’t be completely certain what it was.
A mistake…?
Whether it was a mistake or not, he had to confirm it.
“Professor Kim.”
Jin Siwon spoke into the microphone.
Professor Kim touched the earpiece in his ear. It meant he was listening.
“Please ask Hunter On Ijo once more. ‘Is it true that you lost all your power?'”
Then Professor Kim pretended to read the question sheet and asked again.
“Please think carefully and answer. Is it true that you lost all your power?”
“Yes.”
On Ijo answered once more.
At Jin Siwon’s sudden action, people around began to chime in one by one.
“Why are you doing that?”
“What’s going on?”
“Team Leader Jin, did you see something? Why are you acting like this?”
Even at Go Gang’s question, Jin Siwon grabbed the microphone.
“Just one more. I’ll ask just one more question.”
“Team Leader Jin?”
On Jurim also seemed to sense something strange and turned his gaze to Jin Siwon.
He glanced at On Jurim and then stared at On Ijo again.
It was similar to that indirect message from an unknown entity he had once seen from On Jurim.
Back then, Jin Siwon thought the one who sent the indirect message was an entity like his own summon, Varet.
But if that were the case, it wouldn’t make sense for On Ijo to have lost all his power.
It couldn’t be the ‘truth.’
“Professor Kim. Please ask once more if he is On Ijo.”
Professor Kim cleared his throat with a cough.
He too seemed to sense the uneasy atmosphere in the monitor room.
The question about being On Ijo had already been finished, and Jin Siwon had already made his truth detection.
But asking again?
Though he had doubts, Professor Kim had no choice but to speak again.
“Are you On Ijo?”
For some reason, On Ijo stared straight ahead intensely.
On Ijo and Jin Siwon’s gazes met directly.
On Ijo answered.
“I am On Ijo.”
The sound of the graph moving incessantly could be heard.
The lie detector’s graph was drawing a stable curve.
The lie detector was determining his words as truth.
Jin Siwon rolled his lower lip and bit it.
What he saw with his eyes was also clearly the truth.
But…
Bang!
At that moment, a fierce force pulled Jin Siwon outside.
‘Ugh!’
Go Gang tried to follow, but an invisible force blocked him.
Jurim blocked the monitor room door and trapped Jin Siwon within his arms.
“Tell me honestly. What did you see? That’s not On Ijo?”
Jurim gestured toward the inside.
The sound of Go Gang banging on the door could be heard from the monitor room.
However, Jurim didn’t open the door and waited for an answer, and Jin Siwon, who had been hesitating, spoke quietly.
“Everything I saw was the truth. It’s the truth, but… I can’t be certain about him losing all his power.”
“Why?”
“When someone has a summon, sometimes I can see two thoughts. Guild Master On is like that too.”
“You see two thoughts from hyung?”
“Yes. Very briefly. So briefly it’s hard to be certain.”
“What about in the case of items?”
“Depending on the situation, it would be entirely possible, but…”
Bang bang bang!
“On Jurim! Aren’t you going to open the door?”
Go Gang’s shouting continued.
When On Jurim was about to remove his hand from the door, seemingly reassured by the words ‘It could be an item,’ Jin Siwon grabbed his wrist and spoke quickly.
“I don’t know what it is, but I think there’s something he’s hiding.”
“….”
On Jurim closed his mouth, then whispered in Jin Siwon’s ear.
“Team Leader Jin, let’s keep this between us. I’ll keep watch for a while.”
* * *
University Hospital VIP Room.
On Ijo, who had returned after receiving all kinds of tests, collapsed onto the bed.
Then the attending doctor who was looking at the medical chart put his hands in his white lab coat.
“Lie down carefully. The IV drip will come out.”
“All these tests are more tiring than I thought.”
“You walked into the difficult path with your own feet, Master.”
“Ahaha, that’s right.”
“As I mentioned, the test results will show non-awakened, and no other abnormal findings will appear.”
“What about Yurian?”
“‘That Person’ took him over and the hospital is taking good care of him. He used up a lot of power in an instant, so he’s not waking up easily. Let’s watch him a little longer.”
That Person was the woman who had taken Yurian from the aircraft carrier and had experimented on Yurian.
‘He wouldn’t stay still if he knew.’
“Keep it secret from Yurian that that woman brought him.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Mmm. Thanks for everything~”
The attending doctor quietly watched the head of Gnosis waving his hand like a jellyfish.
“You didn’t need to reveal your identity.”
“No.”
On Ijo smiled.
“I had to.”
It was necessary. Han Rowoon couldn’t become On Gru’s father.
Even taking on all the risks, he wanted to become The Child’s father.
Then, the sound of knocking was heard.
“Hyung.”
It was On Jurim.
“You came?”
On Ijo’s face brightened as he sat up.
“Then take good care of yourself, and I’ll be going now.”
When the attending doctor bowed to On Jurim, On Jurim returned the greeting.
Regardless, On Ijo’s gaze was fixed on only one place.
It was Han Gru, who had entered holding On Jurim’s hand.
The Child spotted On Ijo and rolled his eyes around and around.
“….”
“….”
A moment of silence passed.
On Ijo, who had his lips pressed tightly together, watched The Child’s expression while smoothing out his wrinkled clothes. His face looked unusually flustered.
“Hello.”
“Ahem, hello….”
When On Ijo cleared his throat and greeted him, On Jurim held back a hollow laugh.
He’s hiding something? That guy?
On Jurim looked at the shy Lee Jo with disbelief.
The man who had remained calm even in front of the lie detector was so nervous in front of his own child that his pounding heartbeat could be heard clearly.
“Han Gru.”
On Jurim patted Han Gru’s back with a slightly bitter expression.
Now it was time to properly introduce him to his real father.
They had found his real father, and he had even returned, so he himself would become the uncle.
It was around the time he was trying hard to sort out his empty feelings.
Han Gru, who had been pushed forward by On Jurim and was hesitating, squeezed his eyes shut and shouted.
“Hello! U-Uncle!”
“…?”
On Ijo, who had been opening and closing his mouth, tilted his head in confusion.
Un? cle?
