Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 59

Due to such intense interest in On Jurim, there had been several occasions when unwelcome visitors barged into the kindergarten, but whenever the director made a call somewhere, people claiming to be from Hyeonak would appear and take the visitors away.

To be honest, On Jurim didn’t have the image of a good guardian, so it was quite worrying, but it didn’t seem like he was completely neglecting the child.

Even back then…

She recalled Jurim bringing the child to kindergarten when he was troubled about friend issues.

‘The child did seem to follow him well.’

The two of them talking quietly in front of the kindergarten really looked like father and daughter. She had also glimpsed affection from Jurim as he hugged Gru.

Hmm, what could it be? Yoon approached Gru and asked.

“Gru, is the babysitter aunt coming to pick you up again today?”

“Yes…”

When Gru turned her head, Yoon knelt down in front of her and held her small hands.

“Teacher has been very worried lately.”

“Why?”

“Because Gru seems to have no energy. You even gave up your yogurt today.”

“…Yes.”

Gru nodded with a sad face as she thought of the yogurt that went into her friend’s mouth.

“What happened? You’re getting along well with all your friends, right?”

Nod nod.

“It’s not because of friends.”

“Then?”

Gru blinked slowly.

The reason Gru had been walking around with drooping shoulders was because of the card she had seen in the Guild Leader’s Office.

That memo that seemed to be written in blood remained deeply etched in her mind.

Jurim acted as if nothing was wrong, no different from usual, but Gru was angry.

When dungeons and towers appeared everywhere along with the phenomenon called the Great Cataclysm, those now called 1st Generation Hunters awakened.

The time limit for conquering towers was 5 years.

Just as dungeon breaks from unconquered dungeons posed threats, it was accepted as fact that the world would be in danger if towers weren’t conquered.

Someone had to conquer the towers to protect the world.

Many 1st Generation Hunters entered the towers and lost their lives.

Jurim was a 1st Generation Hunter who survived alone among them.

But that wasn’t Jurim’s fault. Expressing it as if he had devoured others to survive and hurting him was a very bad thing to do.

So Gru wanted to give strength to Jurim. Though while thinking of ways to do so, her own shoulders ended up drooping instead…

The teacher pondered what to make of Gru’s silence before asking.

“Gru, did you tell the Guild Master about the observation class?”

“Um, the Guild Master is busy… It’s hard for him.”

“He’s having a hard time?”

Gru pouted and fidgeted with her hands clasped together.

“Probably…”

“You didn’t tell him about the observation class, did you?”

Nod nod.

That’s it. Jung Yuni’s eyes lit up.

Yoon spoke firmly, thinking that maybe Han Gru couldn’t tell him because On Jurim seemed too busy to come to the observation class, and that might be why he had been feeling down.

“I think it would be nice to show the teacher how wonderfully our Han Gru presents. Han Gru is so smart that he can already write beautifully. Right?”

Han Gru rolled his eyes and nodded once.

His plump cheeks turning slightly red was so cute that Yoon chuckled softly.

“There are still fifteen nights left, so let’s think about it slowly and try talking to the Guild Master. And tell the teacher how it goes. Okay?”

“Yes…”

“Should we play at the playground with the teacher until Babysitter Aunt comes today? How about it?”

“Yes.”

Han Gru got up with heavy steps and headed toward the shoe cabinet.

“Now Han Gru can put on his shoes well by himself.”

Only then did the child finally show a smile.

It was when Han Gru was tapping the toe of his sneakers and stepping out toward the kindergarten entrance.

A black sedan approached in front of the kindergarten and stopped.

“…?”

Jung Yuni took Han Gru’s hand and approached the sedan.

“You can’t park here…”

“I’m sorry, Teacher. We’ll just pick up and move right away.”

What came out of the passenger seat was a man neatly dressed in a suit. He bowed politely in greeting.

“Nice to meet you for the first time, Teacher Jung Yuni.”

“Oh, hello, hello.”

It was a face she had never seen before in her life. A parent perhaps?

“Are you here to pick up a child by any chance?”

While she was wondering and frantically thinking, the man smiled kindly and handed her a business card.

‘Doan Construction?’

It was a construction company that had once been frequently mentioned in the media for alleged growth corruption. The coverage was so extensive that even she, who was a student at the time with little interest in current affairs, remembered the name Doan.

They definitely said something about monopolizing government work and having corrupt relationships.

“I am the secretary of Chairman On Suhyung, who is Miss Han Gru’s grandfather. I’ve come to pick up Miss Han Gru.”

“What?”

Yoon’s head shot up and Han Gru’s mouth fell open.

‘Grandfather?’

When Han Gru turned his head, the window of the black-tinted limousine rolled down.

The elderly man had his white hair neatly slicked back. Even just seeing him through the window, his presence seemed impressive.

He maintained a soldier-like upright posture, continuously staring at Han Gru with a cold, hard face that seemed like it would never crack under any circumstances.

Han Gru blinked nervously.

If there was someone to call grandfather, there was only one person.

‘The Guild Master’s father.’

Actually, he looked too old to be called the Guild Master’s father though.

‘He does seem to resemble him….’

The shape of his eyes and mouth, the overall atmosphere he gave off resembled On Jurim.

He stared at Han Gru for a long while before bluntly speaking.

“I am On Jurim’s father.”

“Hello. I’m Han Gru from Saebom Kindergarten Chick Class.”

When Han Gru gave a deep bow, his head nodded very slightly up and down.

“I’ve already informed the Sitter, so get in.”

Looking back, Teacher seemed to be contacting the Sitter using the Secretary’s mobile phone.

She nodded once toward Han Gru. It meant it was okay to go.

Soon the Secretary approached and opened the car door, and when Han Gru tried to climb into the car awkwardly, On Suhyung quickly lifted him up and seated him beside him. A car seat had been prepared in advance in the back seat.

Han Gru, who was seated as if being embraced, smiled brightly.

“Thank you very much.”

On Suhyung’s head nodded barely perceptibly up and down once more as he stared at Han Gru again with embarrassing intensity.

* * *

Could he be a person made of steel?

That was Han Gru’s first impression of the Guild Master’s father.

Like a scary organization boss that often appears in movies or dramas…. He had a dangerous and cold atmosphere.

Han Gru sat side by side in the back seat, fidgeting with his hair while stealing glances at the Chairman.

“There’s no need to be nervous. Today I’ll take you home myself.”

“Yes.”

‘Han Gru, nervousness itself!’

If the Chairman was made of steel, then Han Gru seemed to be in the form of nervousness made into a person.

“….”

“….”

In the silence, On Suhyung took out documents containing Han Gru’s personal information and opened them.

“Looking into it a bit, I hear you’re quite brilliant. Your WPPSI (Wechsler Preschool Intelligence Scale) shows gifted level intelligence… and you’ve Awakened too?”

“…!”

Suddenly he got a feeling. Now was the time to show off. There hadn’t been anywhere to brag lately.

Han Gru fumbled around in his kindergarten bag and pulled out his Hunter License to show.

Eyebrows raised high at both ends. Looking at the delicate little face expecting praise, On Suhyung chose his words before bluntly uttering just one phrase.

“Well done.”

“Thank you.”

‘I got praised by the Guild Master’s dad.’

He examined the license this way and that, then spoke quietly.

“Han Gru…. It can be reissued once the procedures are completed.”

Han Gru had been prepared to show off a flashy duck clip performance if necessary, but the Chairman seemed satisfied with just the license and returned it right away.

Han Gru giggled quite contentedly as he put away his Hunter License.

After carefully closing the zipper and lifting his head, the Chairman was staring at Han Gru as if trying to see right through him.

“…?”

Han Gru grinned widely.

On Suhyung silently watched for a moment, then put away the documents containing personal information and took out several booklets.

He handed over one booklet and asked.

“Take a look.”

“Yes.”

The booklet had an elegant building drawn on it, with text written in a mixture of English and Korean.

SCAT Test Preparatory Class

CTY Camp Preparation Class Opening

Han Gru found words he could read.

“Overseas Gifted Academy, study abroad preparation.”
