The Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial

“The crafter awakened being talked about for the recent potion donation is indeed affiliated with Hyeonak.”

A moment of silence passed in the studio.
The impact was explosive—enough to level the entire broadcast station.
But it lasted only a split second.

Everyone immediately realized that this was the reason Jurim had come on live today, and they rejoiced.
Voices from the control room urged them to move on with the show. The anchor, finally snapping back to his senses, smoothly resumed his role.
“We’ve just received an incredible answer. So you’re saying all these prominent Hunters belong to Hyeonak. As Guildmaster, how does that feel?”

“It’s annoying and a hassle. I’ve been getting calls from everywhere…”
“Ah…”
The anchor was stunned into silence again—Jurim’s response was 100% sincere, with not a shred of humor.

Then, Jurim smiled gently.
“Still, as the guildmaster of Hyeonak, I intend to fully support my members.”

Watching the interview, Suhyeong made a thoughtful hum and rubbed his chin.
No matter how little Jurim cared about others’ opinions, did he really have to say it was annoying and a hassle?
He glanced sideways—Guru was staring wide-eyed at the screen, mouth hanging open at her dad’s lightning-strike interview.

“Y-you’ve seen enough now.”
Worried the interview might not be appropriate for a child, Suhyeong hastily turned off the TV. Hopefully she doesn’t learn from that part…
“Ahem, anyway…”

Regardless of how it played out…
He could guess exactly who Jurim’s last statement was directed toward.
That was why he’d called Guru and told her to watch.
“Seems like your dad wants to make up.”

Just as he finished speaking, a voice answered from behind.
“Yeah.”
It was Jurim.

He’d ended the interview and used a teleport scroll to return home immediately.
When did he get here? Guru blinked up at him in shock as he set down the bicycle he’d brought with one hand.
“Could you not sneak around like that?”

“I made a noise just now.”
“…Right.”
Suhyeong gave a defeated shake of his head. What am I even supposed to say to that?
By then, Jurim had sat down at the edge of the couch beside Guru.

He gently brushed her face with his hand.
His palm ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ was cold from the evening winter air, and Guru puffed out her cheeks.
“I even brought you a bike as a present. You’re still not gonna forgive me?”

Guru clamped her lips shut. The truth was, the moment she saw her dad, her chest had already gone all mushy and squishy.
But she couldn’t drop her act as Bad Girl Guru just yet.
Before becoming Good Girl Guru, there was something she absolutely had to confirm.

To hide how soft she felt inside, Guru cleared her throat and lowered her voice, trying to sound as fierce as a bear in a costume.
“Dadda, Gwu has somfin to ask.”
“Okay.”

“Is Gwu in the giwld too?”
“Of course you are.”
Jing! Guru spun around to face him, flushed with excitement.

“Reawwy?”
“Yep, really.”
“Then… what you said on TV eawwiew…”

Jurim cut in again to make sure it was crystal clear.
“You’re the most important one to me.”
Guru’s gaze dropped to her lap.

She waited nervously, as if awaiting a verdict in court. Jurim brushed her hair back gently.
“That’s why I don’t like when you use your powers, or when you get too much attention.”
“……”

“But that’s just my selfishness.”
Just because he felt that way, he couldn’t dictate the direction she wanted to go.
Instead, the best thing he could do… was help her path be a little less difficult, a little less painful.

“So what I said earlier—yes, that included you.”
With that, Jurim scooped up Guru, who now wore a bright smile.
“You’re not mad anymore?”

She hugged his neck tight—and the skill [Happiness in Togetherness] activated.
Her frustration melted away like cotton candy floating on a cloud, but she still kept her lips pushed out in a tiny pout.
“Juss a wittow.”

“Still a little mad?”
“Cause… cause Dadda didn’t know Gwu feewings…”
“Daddy was wrong.”

“Mm.”
Feeling strangely emotional, she kept pouting and nodded her head with a little hum.
Jurim chuckled softly through his nose and patted her back.

“Wanna go see your present and feel better?”
“Pwesent?”
“People at work sent gifts to celebrate your birthday. Grandpa put them in the new house he got you.”

Jurim gave Suhyeong a knowing glance, and Suhyeong cleared his throat awkwardly.
That kid clearly knew he’d bought the house in advance.
“Ahem, hmm.”

“House?”
Guru tilted her head.
“Yeah, the one I showed you before. Grandpa bought it for you.”

“Oooh!” Guru beamed with joy.
“Fank you, Gwampa!”
Jurim shrugged as he carried Guru and strode out toward the house next door.

A fresh layer of white snow blanketed the wide yard.
The moment they stepped inside the two-story home, Guru covered her mouth.
A mountain of birthday presents was stacked neatly in the corner of the living room.

“Let’s sleep over here tonight.”
Nod-nod!
Guru buried her face in Jurim’s chest and nodded so hard her hair bounced.

Jurim read birthday cards to her until she fell asleep.

Why? I’m in Hyeonak.
LMAO “I’m in Hyeonak” yeah ok 😂

This is fucking gross lmao
– They just don’t get tired, do they…
Ooooh~ in Hyeonak, dopamine just keeps on flowin’~~

“Happy to be in Hyeonak?” “Yes. I’m happy because the crafter everyone’s talking about is with Hyeonak.”
– This is all Jjapsso-hyung’s fault. Why would he go to Hyeonak and let the already-wild people go even crazier?
Maybe Jjapsso-hyung did know Hyeonak was Korea’s #1 guild.

If not Hyeonak, where else would they go? Heaven's Divine Assembly is basically hosted in Hyeonak.
Ah fuck it I’m just not logging into blabla for a while
[Title: My life changed after joining Hyeonak]

Back in school, I couldn’t even make eye contact with fellow losers.
Now? I speak clearly when ordering delivery, and I can look convenience store clerks in the eyes at PC cafés.
No matter how shitty life gets…

I shower while whispering, “Who am I?”
“Led by On Jurim, the crew of Hyeonak with Gidan, Shin Nayeon, and Jjapsso…”
And just like that, dopamine floods my system.

Now I get why they say the position makes the man.
