The Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial-Chapter 23
by Jessie@AFNCC[Title: Since Gidan Came Up, I Have a Question]
[Original Post]
Hey, guild bros, can someone clarify something for me?
I work in the admin department, so I might not know much, but…
Why is Gidan so obsessed with beating Guild Master On?
Heâs not even a year into his Awakening yet, so heâs still got room to grow.
Heâs a god-tier character with wide-area coverage, an attribute-free dealer, and barely gets affected by dungeon environments.
His combat sense is literally divine-tier.
If he keeps improving at this rate, itâs only a matter of time before he surpasses On Jurim, so why is he already scrambling to climb the ranks?

âSurpass who? Do you think a living legend is just some random guy?â
âThere isnât a single hunter who doesnât obsess over rankings.â
âI donât, though. ă ă ă â
âYouâre Shin Nayun, arenât you?â
âNayun-ah, letâs grab a meal just once, please… Why arenât you replying to my messages…â
âItâs that thing, you know, that thing.â
âWhat thing? Just say it already.â
âHow do you not know? That!â
âWTF.â
âMaybe heâs still a hot-blooded kid.â
âNow this is the good stuff.â
âOh, so thatâs why Gidan always solos? He doesnât want to split the contribution points?â
âCome to think of it, Iâve never seen him party with anyone, not even Team 1.â
âIs it because of the contribution points, or is he getting excluded from teams?â
âTeam 1 is super tight-knit, donât spread rumors.â
âTeam 1âs leader is a really kind person… Letâs not say reckless stuff like that.â
****
âGuild Master-nim!â
âYeah?â
Giggling, Hanguru pulled something from his pocket and held it up.
âTa-da!â
Jurim squinted at it.
âThatâs the tenth time youâve shown it to me today.â
It had already been a week since Hanguru had cleared his dungeon.
But the moment his Hunter License arrived at home this morning, he was so high on the thrill of officially becoming a hunter that he just couldnât get over it.
At kindergarten, he âaccidentallyâ dropped his license about fifteen times, just so he could pick it up and show it off to his friends.
âManager-nim, wanna see this?â
âSir! Look at this!â
âIâm the team leader, kid.â
He proudly flashed it to every Hyeonak employee he ran into.
Jurim, who had stepped out for a smoke, learned about it the hard way when every single person he passed repeated the same thing:
âCongrats, Guild Master-nim! Your daughter awakened!â
âCongratulations on the Awakening, sir!â
Theyâd all chuckle and walk past, leaving Jurim standing there, utterly confused.
â……?â
Why does everyone in the world know about this?
Baffled, he quickly put out his cigarette and fanned away the smell.
Then, he grabbed Hanguru, who had just finished showing off his license to a janitor, and dragged him back inside.
âUhihihi.â
âYou might as well stick it to your forehead.â
Hanguru twirled around happily, completely unfazed by Jurimâs sarcasm, still clutching his precious license.
âI loooove this!â
Hanguru peeked up over the desk, his eyes shining.
âGuild Master-nim! Whenâs our next dungeon run? Tomorrow? The day after?â
Now that he had his license, he needed to do hunter stuff.
âI wanna make new toys from dungeon loot!â
Just thinking about selling tons of items and giving his Guild Master an allowance filled him with joy.
âGuild Master-nim, hereâs some pocket money. Donât skimp on stuffâbuy some plushies. Your roomâs way too empty.â
Now that would be some real filial piety.
But Jurim simply waved him off, completely disinterested.
âLater.â
âWhenâs later~?â
âWhen youâre this much taller.â
Jurim waved his hand above his head.
Unacceptable!
âThatâs like, 100 meters!â
âYou thought I was 100 meters tall this whole time?â
âOh! 101 meters?â
Jurim sighed.
âIf you donât even know how many centimeters are in a meter, youâre not going anywhere.â
âBut… but I have to go! Iâm a guild member!â
âSo?â
âI need to rack up achievements and make tribute payments to the guild!â
âWhere the hell are you learning this stuff?â
âIâm not telling~.â
Ever since moving in with Jurim, Hanguruâs access to that huge fancy TV had been severely limited.
Apparently, watching questionable programs all day wasnât âsuitable for children.â
Now, he was only allowed a measly one and a half hours a day.
If he admitted he picked this up from TV, heâd definitely get even less time.
âHmph. Like Iâd ever tell him.â
Pouting, Hanguru clamped his lips shut.
Jurim, looking completely unfazed, simply responded:
âKids get an exception.â
Then, he stretched out his hand in front of Hanguru.
âHand.â
âHaand~.â
As soon as Hanguru held out his hand, Jurim grabbed his wrist and fastened a watch around it.
Hanguru immediately turned his wrist this way and that, closely inspecting it.
âA watch?â
Jurim took Hanguruâs kids’ phone, saying heâd sync it with the device.
âOh! A smart watch!â
But unlike the smartwatches his friends wore, this one was thick and had a mature design. It was surprisingly light, but the material felt closer to metal than plastic.
Since an S-rank hunter gave it to him, it was probably different from regular watches.
âThen maybe… just maybe…?â
âGuild Mastew-nim, can I use this for a Miracle Change?â
His little heart pounded with excitement.
âMiracle Change?â
Jurim immediately recalled the anime Hanguru had been obsessively watching.
That transformation sequenceââMiracle Changeâ or whateverâwas clearly the highlight. Hanguru had been glued to the screen, sweating with anticipation during that scene.
The protagonist had lifted something like a wristwatch back then…
âAhh…â
Interlocking his fingers, Jurimâuncharacteristicallyâspoke in a gentle tone.
âTry it.â
âWooooow…!â
Hanguru hopped off the desk and took a few steps back before dramatically raising his arm.
Here we go! Miracle Change!
âDumbass.â
Jurim bit his lip hard.
âHanguru, come here.â
âHuh?â
With a confused expression, Hanguru scurried over to his side.
âSay it again.â
âDumbass.â
âSlowly. Trans-for-ma-tion.â
âTrans-for-ma-tion.â
âGood.â
Now properly trained, â NĐŸvĐ”lđght â (Exclusive on NĐŸvĐ”lđght) Hanguru dashed back and attempted his transformation once more.
âTran! Sformation!â
…Why wasnât it working? Was this not how it went?
But Hanguru, age four, had consumed an absurd amount of anime.

Drawing from his vast experience, he switched up his poses.
âTransforrrrrrm! Trans! Formation!â
Jurim turned away, covering his mouth.
â…?â
His shoulders trembled slightly, and a very obvious snicker slipped out.
That laughter. That attitude…
âIt was a lie!â
He tricked him! Eyes welling up, Hanguru smacked Jurimâs leg in frustration.
âLiar! Liar!â
âYouâll hurt yourself.â
Jurim, worried that Hanguru might bruise his little hands from hitting him, effortlessly picked him up and plopped him onto the desk.
Hanguru pouted, lowering his head.
Jurim let out a soft chuckle before playfully pinching his little beak-like lips.
âYou mad?â
Hanguru nodded.
âWhatâll make you feel better?â
Hanguruâs round coral-colored eyes darted around, as if gauging the situation. Then, in a tiny voice, he whispered:
â…Dungeon.â
âNot that.â
Rejected instantly.
Hanguruâs eyebrows twitched up in distress as he clenched his soft little fists.
âBut if I just laze around like a grasshopper… I might get kicked out of Hyeonak.â
âThat wonât happen. Go play. A kindergarten kidâs job is to play well and sleep well.â
Jurim dismissed it like it was nothing, but Hanguru was desperate now.
âBut… but if I become useless, I might have to go back to the orphanage…â
What?
Jurimâs expression hardened instantly.
âWhy do you think that?â
â…Dunno.â
Hanguru mumbled, lips sticking out in a sulky pout.
âHanguru.â
Jurim called his name in a firm tone, but the child just hunched his shoulders, fidgeting with his hands and feet.
âLook at me. Why do you think that?â
Hanguru rolled his coral-colored eyes.
âI donât wanna say it…â
He was scared.
Scared that if he told Jurim he was a kid that had been unwanted by his previous families, Jurim might react in a way he couldnât handle.
Maybe heâd think Hanguru was flawed.
Maybe heâd decide that sending him back to the orphanage wasnât such a bad idea after all.
