The Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial

Chapter 279

“It might sting a little. Is that okay?”Speaking gently through a translator, Lea asked in Korean. Guru nodded vigorously, full of resolve.

“Good. Then just bear with it for a moment.”

Lea carefully wiped the blood from Guru’s knee and slowly poured potion over the wound.

The cut healed cleanly right away, though a sharp pain briefly flared.

Guru winced but endured it.

“Oh—you handled that so well!”

Guru’s face bloomed with pride, and she burst into a giggle.

Lea cupped Guru’s cheeks in both hands and kissed her on the cheek.

“So cute.”

Receiving a kiss from a pretty unni left Guru melting, her face burning red.

Her embarrassment was obvious, and soon the surrounding German teammates began murmuring one by one: “Cute.” “Too cute.” Their eyes all fell on Guru.

Overwhelmed by the sudden flood of attention, Guru smiled stiffly.

She realized—she was in the middle of the enemy team, being showered with affection.

'I-Is dis okay?!'

Then, a girl reached out a hand to touch Guru’s cheek.

But Mephisto flapped his wings sharply, batting her hand away with a fierce warning.

The girl laughed out loud at the sight.

Playfully, she stroked Mephisto’s tiny face with her thumb and forefinger.

[“Is this a chick?”]

[“But it’s white. Chicks are supposed to be yellow.”]

[“Looks kind of like a penguin.”]

[“Not a penguin—just chubby.”ightly.

Her mind drifted back to Jurim and Kazuki’s interview—their confident demeanor, the looks of respect they received.

She thought of Gidan and Serhi, who cleared dungeons with ease.

The S-Ranks she’d taken for granted now felt like beings from another world.

Her eyes returned to the German team.

They moved as one.

The whole experience thrilled her, like a current surging through her body.

Her perspective was broadening—and her heart pounded faster.

'Gwuu wanna get stwong too.'

Hot blood coursed through her veins, heat searing to her fingertips, hardening her resolve.

“Auntie!”

Guru spotted her sitter and waved.

The sitter beamed at her, then bowed deeply to Lea.

“I heard you helped Guru when she was hurt. Thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

“Guru, say thank you properly.”

“Yesh! Fank you fow hewpin’ Gwuu!”

Lea chuckled, then declared firmly:

“Tell Hyeonak this: we’re going to win.”

Guru gaped in surprise. Did she know Guru was Hyeonak?

Quickly, she clenched her fists.

“Gwuu not gonna wose eithew!”

Lea grinned.

“When the match is over, promise me you’ll tell me the truth.”

'The truth?'

Guru tilted her head in confusion, but Lea only smiled faintly and stroked her head.

“Let’s talk again after the exchange.”

Nod, nod.

Whatever it was, it seemed better to talk properly later.

After their farewells, Guru toddled toward the parking lot holding her sitter’s hand, mulling over the day.

'They wew so stwong.'

With buffs, their firepower looked like it could even rival Hyeonak’s S-Rankers, Gidan and Serhi.

But could Hyeonak, dragging around baggage like her, really win?

'Gwuu need to upgwade dwone mowe.'

Her brows furrowed with determination.
