Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 84
‘Are we really going to an RP Dungeon?’
Meanwhile, Mephistopheles had climbed up onto Han Gru’s head and settled down comfortably.
Han Gru crossed his arms and stared at the tablet, deep in thought.
‘That scammer is trying to go to an incredible place.’
Even though Han Gru was an extremely brave S-Rank Hunter, and the Black Flame Dragon sleeping within him desired Ham Honggi’s blood—
The RP Dungeon had an overwhelming presence that could be felt just from its rank.
Bloody revenge or personal safety.
That was the dilemma.
Just then, Mephistopheles made a gesture of tapping forward with his beak, and a Quest window appeared before Han Gru’s eyes.
Ding!
[Caregiver Quest!]
[Caregiver ‘Mephistopheles’ is not in perfect condition! Let’s find ‘Mephisto’s Fragment’ in the RP Dungeon and show some filial piety!]
[Reward: 100,000 Filial Piety Points]
Han Gru’s eyes wavered as he confirmed the reward section.
‘This is…?’
He had used up all the filial piety points he had saved for Mephistopheles’ hatching. Because of that, his current filial piety points were 0. He had become a pauper in an instant.
But the filial piety points he could earn from this Quest were…
‘100,000?!’
It was too many filial piety points to refuse.

“It’s hard to see your face these days, Team Leader Jin.”
“I’ve been a bit busy… It’s been a while, Doctor.”
Jin Siwon smiled gently and scratched his cheek before leaning back against the sofa.
The doctor sitting across from him pushed up her glasses and smiled slightly.
“Team Leader Jin Siwon. If you were to express your mood over the past month on a scale from 1 to 10, what score would you give?”
“Hmm, 4 points? I’m living normally. Is this the right way to express it?”
“The expression is awkward, but I understand the nuance.”
“No matter how much I learn, language is difficult…”
“Still, you’re quite fast at picking it up. It’s surprising.”
“Thank you. I’m working hard every day.”
Fighting, fighting, Jin Siwon cheered himself on.
“When I go to these things called company dinners, they keep doing this. I think it’s like a Korean Magic Spell. Everyone becomes like wild beasts when they do this.”
“The person who says ‘fighting, fighting’ is quite old, right?”
“A little? No, a lot?”
The doctor who burst into laughter asked while typing on the keyboard.
“Team Leader, you don’t have those dreams anymore, do you?”
“If I had known there would be such troublesome procedures, I wouldn’t have sought asylum in Korea. You should have told me in advance when I was naturalizing.”
Jin Siwon threw out a pointed joke with a slight smile.
“As I tell you every time, this is a process all S-Ranks go through. It would be similar if you went to other developed countries. You’re people who could obliterate cities like morning exercises, so if something goes wrong up here someday…”
She tapped her temples lightly.
“It would be troublesome. You understand, right? But wasn’t it stricter when you were in the Intelligence Department?”
“Ugh, you caught me.”
Jin Siwon raised both hands as if surrendering.
“Don’t try to fool a doctor. Even if this seems useless, it all becomes nourishment for your body and soul. So please focus.”
“It’s not just because of that… There’s an RP Dungeon that appeared outside right now.”
“Korea’s guilds are truly outstanding elites even compared to other developed countries.”
“Not Hyeonak though?”
The doctor’s eyes widened at Siwon’s question.
“Pardon?”
“The Association designated which guilds would be deployed for this RP strategy, but Hyeonak wasn’t included.”
“Ah, when things get really dangerous, they’ll push in Guild Leader On Jurim first, so it’ll be fine. Isn’t that why they made the Special Awakened Law?”
Jin Siwon suddenly thought of On Jurim and nodded. He was an incredible human being. No, was he even human?
“Korea seems to have tremendous faith in Guild Leader On Jurim.”
If it were another country, there would have been panic the moment an RP Dungeon appeared.
From S-Rank dungeons onwards, the moment they couldn’t be conquered, it was practically a guarantee of countless casualties numbering at least in the thousands.
But Korea remained calm.
The country that had never experienced a dungeon break since the Great Cataclysm only grumbled about traffic jams on the way home from work due to the controls.
Jin Siwon now knew that On Jurim was the reason behind that tranquility.
“That’s about right…”
Even though he sometimes received unfavorable looks, On Jurim was Korea’s pillar.
A 1st Generation survivor from the Tower. The one and only S-Rank who single-handedly closed the Great Dungeon a year ago. An absolute powerhouse who remained unshaken by any offensive.
His existence reassured people and dulled their sense of crisis.
The Management Bureau Director used to complain, saying “It’s annoying, but that bastard’s carefree and languid face actually helps with national security.” The panic he was holding back would come the moment that bastard’s face crumpled.
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“That sounds good.”
Siwon smiled while sipping the coffee she handed him.
“But is caffeine okay? It’s a psychoactive substance.”
“Foreigners surprisingly know the difficult words better… There’s even a famous caffeine addict among the S-Ranks, so drink as much as you want. Should I give you more?”
Siwon shrugged his shoulders.
She suddenly recalled her first interview with Jin Siwon.
A man from a ruined country.
His ashen blonde hair and green eyes made him look even more mysterious.
“Have you decided on a name? A Korean-style name, I mean.”
“I’m going with Jin Siwon. There’s no particular reason. It’s just easy to pronounce.”
“Then I’ll call you Mr. Jin Siwon from now on. Is that alright? If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask. Anything at all. It helps with adaptation to talk with locals about whatever comes to mind.”
Yevgeny Markov—no, the man who had now become Jin Siwon—fell deep into thought.
“Then Doctor. Do you know how many people it takes to destroy a country?”
The defector’s question was both mischievous and deliberately touched on a very sensitive topic.
It seemed like a question meant to test her heart, as she had been ordered by the government to find out anything she could from him.
“Well… In the past, you would have needed an army, but now you wouldn’t need that many people. Maybe about one unit of rankers?”
To that, Jin Siwon replied with a smile.
“One person.”
Siwon lowered his eyes.
“I do dream.”
The mansion burning red. The noise of tanks and fighter jets. Sirens that seemed to tear at his ears. Screams that never stopped. The smell of blood and gunpowder.
And flowing golden hair.
It was a dream where she was spinning around laughing in a scene where everything looked red as if on fire.
“This isn’t the end. Look over there.”
The place she pointed to was the entrance of the Great Dungeon.
“Doctor.”
“Yes.”
“Will I be able to protect them this time?”
Among the people passing by without any sense of crisis, Jin Siwon keenly felt that he was a foreigner.
Within their bottomless sense of security, he could never blend in with them.
“I’m so afraid every day.”
* * *
Inside Hyeonak’s barracks at the Mapo District RP Dungeon Response Situation Room.
“What the heck is RP~~”
Kim Jongwon, the leader of Hyeonak’s Attack Team 1, sang along to some unknown tune with his own lyrics.
“Hyung, your singing is really terrible.”
“Team Leader, your singing is really funny.”
Gidan criticized his poor singing, and Nayeon burst into laughter.
“Hunter Nayeon, are you looking down on me because you’re a former idol? Are you that good at singing?”
“I’m a former trainee, not an idol. Should we all go to karaoke together when this is over?”
“Noona, my ears are already blown out. It’ll be a disaster if we go to karaoke. If my ears hurt, I can’t go to school, then I’ll fail, and if I fail, I can’t clear dungeons, then the country will collapse, and the world will shake…”
“Hmm, Dana. Then I’ll protect the world.”
“No way. Please worry about Dan’s attendance before world peace.”
Gidan whined and shook his head back and forth.
While they were chattering away, On Jurim blew out cigarette smoke.
