Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 38

Representative examples included the Great Dungeon transformation experiment in Chiole, a small South American country.

Contamination bacteria experiments that only infected Awakened individuals.

And awakening experiments conducted on children.

It’s estimated that Gnosis’s experiments are still ongoing in various parts of the world, with casualties estimated in the tens of thousands.

The international community declared they were taking Gnosis’s criminal acts very seriously.

However, since the damage was centered on poor third-world countries, and the perpetrators had cleverly covered their tracks while operating in key positions within those nations, there had been virtually no progress in the investigation.

“That’s right. They’re very evil villains. So Princess Gru needs to be careful too, okay?”

“Yes!”

How cute. Siwon raised his hand to pat Gru’s head.

At that moment, sharp gazes flew toward him from both sides. He quietly put his hand back down.

“Come to think of it, you’re from ‘Kirus’, aren’t you, Team Leader Jin?”

Gidan looked at Jurim in surprise at the sensitive question.

Siwon blinked slowly.

“Yes. That’s correct.”

He continued speaking without showing any particular emotion.

“That’s why I ended up seeking asylum.”

Kirus, a small country next to Russia.

It was a representative testing ground for Gnosis, and also a country that had been completely ruined by the Great Dungeon Break that Gnosis had opened.

Jurim crossed his arms and looked Siwon up and down.

“Let’s stop here then. If you have any other questions, please send them to Hyeonak in writing and we’ll process them right away.”

Jurim gestured toward Gidan with his chin.

“He may not look it, but he’s a patient, so I think we should let him rest.”

Siwon stood up, knocking over his chair with a clatter.

“Ah, yes! Yes, of course. I apologize for the intrusion.”

He set the chair upright with a bright red face.

“Well then, Hunter Gidan, please contact us anytime if you remember anything.”

“Yes…”

Gidan nodded as he received the business card.

“Guild Master On. I’ll see you next time.”

“Hmm…”

Jurim stared intently at Siwon with a sullen expression.

With his handsome features that made people nervous, he looked as bored as usual, but-

‘…!’

Siwon pressed his lips tightly together as he saw the window that appeared before him.

[‘On Jurim’ is contemplating how to hide your corpse.]

[‘Ruler of Frozen Land’ is enjoying watching you struggle.]

* * *

Though it was only known as a high-grade Reading Skill, Jin Siwon’s skill was ‘Valet’s Whisper (SSS)’.

Not only could it forcibly open an opponent’s Status Window, but even thoughts and emotions were displayed as indirect messages.

Siwon, who had inadvertently read On Jurim’s thoughts, smiled gently at him.

‘Does he know about my skill?’

While what skills a hunter possessed was an extremely sensitive matter, Siwon had to be somewhat open about his abilities when he sought asylum.

So it might have reached Jurim’s ears as well.

‘I should be careful.’

More than that.

‘Two messages…’

The two indirect messages clearly came from ‘two people’. Guild Leader On Jurim’s ‘Ruler of Frozen Land’. And…

“Thank you for your cooperation. We’ll return the byproducts to Hyeonak as quickly as possible. Well then, I’ll be going.”

Siwon bowed politely and waved his hand at Gru.

“Take care.”

“Bye-bye.”

Unable to hold back his laughter at the cute farewell, Siwon replied.

“Bye.”

[‘Han Gru’ feels regret at your departure.]

[‘Lord’s Fragment’ looks at you with interest.]

[‘Han Gru’s’ information is shrouded by a Veil.]

‘A Lord, and a Veil hiding information…’

A Veil was an item used to hide information from Reading Skill holders.

Normally, it would make him read falsified information, but since Gru’s item was of a lower grade than Siwon’s skill, it displayed that the information was being concealed.

Suddenly, Siwon recalled when he first met Gru.

The Hyeonak guild members who were with Gru. The monster that had coincidentally escaped from the Ecology Hall. And the magical power blockade that followed…

Did they block all the magical power at the Awakener Center to hide Gru’s grade?

‘Hmm…’

Siwon hummed and scratched his chin.

‘I thought it was beyond what humans could do…’

Because of that, the Awakener Center’s magical power blockade incident had simply been concluded as an anomalous phenomenon.

‘How chilling.’

It would be terrible to make them an enemy.

Actually, they didn’t seem very friendly even now… Siwon recalled how Jurim had been contemplating killing him and hiding the body, and wore a gentle smile.

‘Just what grade is Gru that they went to such lengths? Could it be B-grade?’

B-grade at four years old.

It would be a rare record even looking at the entire world. There might not be any cases at all.

Usually, when the awakening age was too young, stats and magical power were low, causing the grade to be measured as low. Most couldn’t even surpass D-grade.

But the child even possessed an unknown entity.

If the secret leaked out, he would instantly receive tremendous spotlight. And it would be inevitable for dangerous hands to reach the child as well.

‘I can’t let that happen.’

Even if it wasn’t for Jurim, he intended to keep the secret.

He had no intention of throwing such a small and lovable child to the world as prey.

He only hoped that the child would avoid getting entangled with Gnosis as much as possible.

Outstanding children were exactly the kind of test subjects Gnosis liked most.

Chapter8 A Kindergartener’s Anguish

Some people describe unpredictable things as being like bouncy balls, but Jurim was a person who could read even the trajectory of bouncy balls.

No matter what upheaval occurred in the world, he would nap with an eye mask on, or take an arrogant attitude toward anyone, appearing quite spontaneous, but he actually moved based on very regular and solid reasoning.

Moreover, he was someone who could handle any responsibility or consequence without difficulty, so there were rarely things that disturbed his composure.

Until he brought that child home.

“Haah…”

Jurim sighed while holding a stack of documents.

Because our kids had to go out and hunt an S-rank monster related to Gnosis, the cleanup work was endless no matter how much he did.

Government agencies, federations, unions, and organizations were all clamoring to hear Hyeonak’s story.

Not only domestically but also from abroad, emails and faxes were pouring in, making Hyeonak busier than ever.

The worst part was that the final decision-maker was On Jurim himself.

Since Gru was involved, he couldn’t handle it carelessly either.

As a result, Jurim had to constantly review reports, opinion papers, and circumstance reports that appropriately cut and embellished what had happened.

He grabbed his throbbing head, roughly threw the stack of documents on his desk, and rested his chin on his hand. Even an S-rank needed a moment’s rest from the continuous paperwork over several days.

He pressed his tired eyes firmly and looked ahead.

On the monitor screen was the first step of modern society’s childcare education, stopped at the most difficult process.

“…”

Before drowsiness could pour over him, he gulped down Americano like a potion and lightly tapped the keyboard. Then clicked.

[On Jurim]

-This nickname is already taken.

Why would someone join a mom cafe with the name On Jurim?

The man who had tried to join the mom cafe with the nickname On Jurim tried writing Jurim, Hyeonak, Gidan, Yoon Seojun, and more before giving up.

The reason he didn’t write Shin Nayeon was due to a trace of conscience that he shouldn’t misuse a woman’s name on a mom cafe, but he was actually confident that name wouldn’t be available either.

Just then, the study room door quietly opened.
