Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 4

On Jurim waved his hand lightly while conducting the interview. The black leather glove worn only on his left hand was particularly striking.

The interviewer also seemed conscious of the glove, glancing at it.

Jurim tapped the armrest with his gloved hand as if to draw the interviewer’s attention back to him.

When the interviewer met his eyes again, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth with languid eyes.

The interviewer seemed entranced, unable to look away from him for a moment before hastily opening their mouth.

【First, let me preface this by saying this is not MMBC’s opinion before asking the next question. Guild ‘Hyeonag’ has established itself as Korea’s undisputed top guild, but conversely, it’s always been at the center of incidents and accidents. Some people view certain guild members who precariously cross the line with unfavorable eyes. Since you’re here, could Guild Master share your thoughts on this?】

It was a rather mischievous question.

The childcare workers were absorbed in the provocative interview, but only Gru failed to grasp the situation and just stared at the screen with a blank face.

On Jurim remained as composed as ever.

【Hyeonag Guild only respects and protects the freedom of its guild members.】

Freedom? Protection? Gru perked up his ears and sat down properly on his knees in front of the TV.

“My goodness, Gru. You need to move back. You’ll get sucked in.”

“Yeeees-”

Gru shuffled his bottom back a little.

【So Guild Master, are you saying Hyeonag Guild will continue to neglect its members’ troublemaking?】

Even to the interviewer’s bold question, Jurim answered calmly.

【Did you just say Hyeonag crosses the line?】

【Yes, that’s correct.】

【And you’re curious about my thoughts on how to view Hyeonag’s actions.】

【That’s about right.】

【Then I’d like to say you’ve asked the wrong person. You should have asked the courts whether Hyeonag crosses the line.】

【Excuse me?】

【My answer remains the same. I will be faithful to my duties as guild master. Protecting guild members and respecting their freedom is what I do. Unfortunately, this is all I can tell you regarding questions so removed from my duties.】

Jurim shrugged his shoulders.

As he wrapped up the mischievous question like trash and tossed it into the garbage bin, the interviewer seemed at a loss for words, moving their lips silently.

The childcare workers laughed, saying that a righteous face houses righteous strength and a righteous tongue.

Most would have been amazed by Jurim’s skillful handling of the interviewer’s question, but what caught Gru’s attention was a different part.

The part about how Hyeonag protects guild members and respects their freedom.

Gru knew a little about what guilds were. He’d heard they were like companies that hunters belonged to.

He’d heard that if you belonged to a guild, they would handle things that were difficult to deal with alone.

Then what about bank accounts? Could guilds help create bank accounts if you belonged to one?

What if he became a Hyeonag guild member and freely conducted business while receiving the guild’s protection?

Suddenly, Gru imagined On Jurim helping him create a bank account.

With that money, Gru would find his mom and dad, clear the Quest, and live happily as the strongest hunter with his family.

THE END.

【Then Guild Master On, do you have anything to say to hunters who want a position in Hyeonag?】

Gru closed his mouth that had been hanging open.

He needed to focus. This was a question Gru desperately wanted to hear the answer to.

Hmm, Jurim let out a low hum as he rested his arm on the chair’s armrest and propped his chin on his hand.

【We receive many resumes, but Hyeonag has no interest in who you are. Don’t send them.】

The interviewer was momentarily speechless.

Gru was equally speechless, opening his mouth again with a “Heh.”

Jurim delivered the finishing blow to the interviewer who seemed to be waiting for more of an answer.

【That’s all.】

He even went so far as to lift himself up and ask, “Can I go now?”

【W-wait a moment!】

When the interviewer pleadingly asked, “Could you answer just a bit more?” Jurim sat back down with a tired expression.

The interviewer smiled bitterly with an expression that said this bastard was completely looking down on people.

【Could you please tell us just one more thing about what kind of talent Hyeonag is looking for?】

【Well.】

He crossed his arms, thought about something, then bluntly spoke.

【I suppose a new S-rank would make us curious.】

Jurim stood up abruptly after saying “That’s all.”

The interviewer frantically tried to recover from their dumbfounded state. The screen quickly switched and the scene changed to Hyeonag’s high-rise building.

The childcare workers murmured among themselves.

“That’s basically saying they won’t accept anyone anymore.”

“He’s so bold even on a broadcast.”

“Handsome face, great power, sharp tongue, and terrible personality…”

Just then, Gru came running over and clung to a childcare worker.

“Teacher! Gru has something curious!”

Ah, how cute. She pinched Gru’s adorable cheeks and asked back.

“Our pretty Gru, what are you curious about?”

“How do you go there?”

“Huh?”

The child’s hand was pointing at the high-rise building where Hyeonag was located.

Tell me! Tell me! The childcare worker smiled, sensing sincerity in those sparkling eyes.

Since On Jurim had such striking looks, it wouldn’t be strange for a child to take a liking to him.

“That place is about 20 minutes away by bus.”

“Please mark it here.”

Gru opened the map app on his Kids Phone.

“On the map?”

Though flustered by the earnest request, she obediently marked the address on the map app.

She probably thought it was just the age when children are curious about many things. Besides, if they happened to pass by and get an autograph, that would be nice.

However, Gru’s purpose was completely different from what she imagined.

‘Gru is S-rank too!’

Hunter rankings are determined by the Awakener Center after comprehensively evaluating Stats and Skills.

But if there’s one exception, it’s the rank of Skills.

If you have even one Legend Skill, you’re classified as S-rank regardless of your overall abilities.

And Gru’s skill was Legend grade. He was truly and undeniably S-rank.

* * *

Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

When he heard the crosswalk sound, Gru raised his hand high.

It was the power of safety education that had been drilled into him thoroughly at kindergarten.

As Gru raised his hand and crossed the crosswalk, small laughter erupted from the surroundings.

“So cute.”

“Isn’t he a model? He’s really pretty.”

Even at compliments he must have heard hundreds of times, Gru brushed his reddened cheeks and walked with quick little steps.

His destination was one building that towered high in the Building Forest.

It was the Hyeonag Guild building.

Gru spun through the massive revolving door and stood in the lobby.

All the employees trying to enter the company tapped their cards on the access gate. Metal bars blocked the lower part of the gate, and the bars would open the entrance only when a card was tapped.

So you can’t get in without that. Fortunately, Gru had something similar.

He rummaged through his bag and pulled out a card.

‘Bus Card!’

The bus card he’d made for field trips was useful in many ways.

Gru toddled over to the access gate, stood on his tiptoes, and tapped his Bus Card.

Beep-

Click, a sound rang out as the metal bar stopped firmly in place.

“Huh?”

Why didn’t it work? As he tilted his head in confusion, a long shadow fell over him.

“Did you come on an errand for your parents?”

The Security Guard was standing there. Gru rolled his eyes.

“Uh… I’m…”

* * *

‘I got kicked out!’

The moment he heard that he wasn’t a company employee’s family member, it seemed they didn’t want to hear any other explanation.

Gru looked around cautiously and stared blankly at the inside of the revolving door.

Since he’d been kicked out immediately, they wouldn’t let him in even if he tried again.

“Hmm…”

Gru fell into thought for a moment, then spun through the revolving door again and entered the lobby. The two security guards were loitering near the entrance.

Gru smiled slyly and pulled out the chick toy from his bag.

[Scary Laughing Chick Toy (F)]

Laughs menacingly in front of automatically detected targets. Targets who hear the laughter have a very low chance of falling into panic for 1 second.

‘Go!’

Gru sent out the chick toy.
