Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 52

* * *

Bang!

“Huk, heo-eok.”

Lee Romi entered the waiting room and closed the door, biting her thumbnail as she took out her mobile phone.

She opened the Onion Market app and accessed the familiar messenger window. Her fingers kept making mistakes as they tapped the phone’s keypad.

AwesomeRo-me: That girl showed up she came to the filming site!!!

AwesomeRo-me: Teacher!!

AwesomeRo-me: Teacher. What should I do?

AwesomeRo-me: Please help me Teacher

She fired off the messages rapidly, but the read receipt didn’t disappear.

Romi paced back and forth in the waiting room, anxiously biting her nails again. Even though she knew she shouldn’t, she couldn’t control herself.

Ever since the moment she saw that girl again.

When she thought of Shin Nayeon, a lightning-like pain gripped her head. It was a face she never wanted to see again.

When she was working part-time and suddenly looked up to see Nayeon’s close-up face on the outdoor electronic billboard.

That suffocating emotion made her breath catch in her throat once again.

【How does it feel to become A-rank? Ah… It just feels like what was meant to come has come?】

Nayeon was always like that. She always easily obtained the things everyone else desired.

As she tried to erase that day that was consuming her mind, a notification popped up after waiting briefly.

учитель: Oh no 🙁 What an unfortunate coincidence.

AwesomeRo-me: I don’t know why it had to be now she has good timing. She’s been like that since way back how does she show up in front of Director Hwang Woon-cheol of all people? You know how much I’ve been waiting for this day right Teacher?

AwesomeRo-me: It feels like she came to ruin me again Teacher I’m scared

учитель: Don’t be too sad. Seeing you sad makes my heart ache too.

AwesomeRo-me: It’s so hard to see her face it’s annoying it makes me angry I feel like I’m going to fall apart again..

She envied and hated that girl who always casually took the spotlight. Yet she was hurt by her attitude of acting like she didn’t want anything.

When she had neither the right nor the qualification to do so.

Jealousy always followed at her feet like a black dog hiding in the shadows. She was the only one tormented by that pitch-black emotion.

The Teacher she met by chance back then was someone who embraced even such ugliness.

Onion Market was an app she had downloaded to deal with her belongings when moving dorms.

She only knew it as an app for secondhand transactions, but it had various features. Like the function to chat with traders…

Normally, she would have passed by such a chat window.

But when both body and mind are exhausted, sometimes you can’t help but do foolish things.

That’s when she met Teacher.

She also learned then that the more anonymous and unknown the other person was, the easier it became to pour out one’s inner thoughts.

The anonymous figure who approached her asking to be called Teacher took the scattered, sand-like stories that Lee Romi had poured out and rebuilt them into a beautiful castle, comforting and empathizing with her.

Not only that. Teacher said he had connections and introduced her to people in the entertainment industry, helping her countless times to seize opportunities.

As she found herself back in the entertainment industry when she thought it was all over, Lee Romi came to have blind faith in Teacher.

AwesomeRo-me: Teacher, what should I do? I’m in front of the director and I feel like I’m going to ruin everything, my vision is going dark

AwesomeRo-me: The director seems to like her..

AwesomeRo-me: It’s always just her again..

учитель: Don’t be upset. I’m here for you. I think you’re a more outstanding person than that girl. I’ll always help you get what you want.

A wave of relief washed over her instantly. Teacher was the only person who supported her.

AwesomeRo-me: Teacher.. I only have you

Romi took a deep breath while holding her mobile phone. Even just this emotional support gradually calmed her turbulent heart.

Then another message came up.

учитель: What should I do for you?

AwesomeRo-me: Huh? What do you mean?

учитель: I’ve always told you. There’s always a way. 🙂

There’s always a way. It was just as Teacher said.

Being able to climb up here from rock bottom was all thanks to Teacher’s help.

учитель: You’re still not fully ripe yet… but I could lend you power for a moment, do you want it?

AwesomeRo-me: Not fully ripe? Power? Then what can I do?

учитель: What you desire. For example, I could make it so that girl can’t appear in front of you.

Really? How?

But the truth and method didn’t matter. Romi quickly tapped the keyboard.

AwesomeRo-me: I want it

AwesomeRo-me: I want it! Give it to me! Please give it to me

учитель: Yes, if you want it, there’s nothing I can’t do for you, right? How cute.

учитель: But since you haven’t awakened yet, what you can do… would be about casting a debuff.

AwesomeRo-me: What’s a debuff?

учитель: It means putting that girl in a bad state.

AwesomeRo-me: Just that much?

учитель: Oh 🙂 Sweetie. Don’t worry. It’ll be much worse than you think. But there’s something you need to do for me.

AwesomeRo-me: What do I need to do?

учитель: You need to shake her up. Mentally, I mean.

Teacher: You were hurt a lot by that child. Now it’s time for you to hurt her. I don’t know if someone as kind as you can do it though….

BestRomi: I can do it, anything

Debuff…. It was an incomprehensible word. It might be some kind of term that hunters use.

So Teacher was a hunter. No wonder I thought she was amazing.

Following Teacher’s words, there was luck that couldn’t be explained by connections alone. If that was an ability as an Awakened, it made sense.

BestRomi: But.. Teacher,,

BestRomi: Then what happens to that kid?

Teacher: Hmm…. Do you want to know?

BestRomi: Ah..

Teacher: ‘Knowing’ will give you hesitation. Do you still need it?

BestRomi: No

BestRomi: I don’t want to hesitate. I trust you, Teacher. Please give me power.

Teacher: Good, if that’s what you want.

Soon a popup window appeared above the chat window.

The horizontally long rectangular window had incomprehensible words written on it, and the only button at the bottom was ‘Confirm’.

A button that couldn’t be refused.

She felt the silent pressure that there was no turning back now.

There was no hesitation. It was the moment Lee Romi pressed confirm.

She heard what seemed like an auditory hallucination of a beautiful woman’s laughter, like jade beads rolling by her ear.

Lee Romi quickly raised her head.

There was no one in the room.

‘What was that?’

That’s when it happened.

Knock knock knock.

“Romi, is it okay for a moment?”

Before she could even respond, the waiting room door opened.

Beyond the door, Shin Nayeon appeared along with a staff member.

The staff member nodded to Shin Nayeon, told them to talk, and quickly left the room.

Lee Romi stood facing Shin Nayeon with a hardened expression.

Her heart was pounding and her fists clenched with strength.

Because she had the power Teacher gave her. Because today would be the last time she’d see your face.

“Shin Nayeon.”

“Romi….”

Shin Nayeon smiled shyly, her cheeks turning red.

* * *

Lee Romi was a friend she had been with since middle school.

One day, she followed Romi who said she was going to an audition, and somehow ended up becoming a trainee herself. They were close friends who spent both their school days and trainee period together.

“Oh my! Jjang Nayeon, you lost your PE uniform again.”

“Huh? I’m fine. I wore my school uniform pants today.”

“You’re going to do PE in school uniform pants? How is that going to work? Wait here. I’ll borrow some from Class D for you.”

Romi always took care of Nayeon’s shortcomings since Nayeon was indifferent to everything, and Nayeon simply loved Romi for that.

Even while endlessly waiting for their distant debut at a small entertainment agency.

“Jjang Nayeon. Eat this quickly and clean up. Don’t get caught.”

“Can I really eat this?”

“Of course not. We’re eating it secretly.”

She would secretly bring chocolate conch bread, cut it in half, put one piece in her own mouth and feed the other half to Nayeon, only to get scolded when they were caught.

“Aren’t idols human too?”

She wiped away Romi’s tears as she cried sadly, and they fell asleep together.
