[Title: Question because Gidan came up earlier]
If any guild bros are here, tell me
I’m just a civilian in the admin department, so maybe I don’t know
But why is Gidan so desperate to beat Guild Master On?
It hasn’t even been a year since he awakened, so he’s still got a long way to go before he hits his peak
He’s a broken-ass character who can even cover wide areas, and he’s a non-attribute dealer, so dungeon environments don’t affect him much.
And isn’t his battle sense seriously god-given?
If he keeps growing like this, he’ll naturally be able to aim for On Jurim’s seat, so why is he already struggling so hard to raise his ranking?
[Comments]
- Aim for what? You think a living legend is a joke?
- There isn’t a single Hunter who isn’t obsessed with rankings
I’m not, though? ㅇㅅㅇ
You’re Shin Nayeon, aren’t you
Nayeon, just eat with me once,, why aren’t you reading my messages,,
- It’s that thing, you know, that thing
What thing? Say it
You don’t know that? That!
Ffs
- Maybe it’s because he’s still a hot-blooded schoolkid
This is the answer
- Ah, so is that why Gidan solo plays by himself? Because he doesn’t want to share contribution points? No wonder I’ve never seen him team up with anyone, not even Team 1
Who knows if it’s because of contribution points~ or because the team’s ostracizing him~
Team 1 is super close, don’t spread rumors
Team 1’s team leader is a really kind person... Let’s not say things like this carelessly

“Guild Mashtah!”
“Yeah.”
Grinning, Geuru took out her Hunter license from her arms.
“Ta-da!”
Jurim narrowed his eyes.
“That’s the tenth time you’ve shown me that today.”
It had already been a week since Geuru had cleared the dungeon.
As soon as her Hunter license arrived at the house this morning, Geuru had fallen into the high of officially becoming a Hunter and couldn’t get out.
“Oh no, Geuru’s Hun! Ter! license fell!”
After arriving at kindergarten, she had dropped her license about fifteen times to show it off to her friends.
“Chief, do you want to see this?”
“Unnie! Look at this!”
“Team leadeeer!”
She had even gone around bragging about her license to every Hyeonak employee she met.
Jurim, who had gone out for a smoke, found out because every employee who saw him said the same thing.
“Your daughter must have awakened. Congratulations!”
“CEO, congratulations on the awakening!”
They all said that, then passed him by with cheerful laughter.
‘……?’
Why does everyone in the whole world know?
Bewildered, Jurim hurriedly put out his cigarette and aired out the smell.
Then he had caught Geuru showing her Hunter license to a cleaner and brought her back.
“Uhehe.”
“Why don’t you just stick it to your forehead and walk around?”
Whether Jurim was being sarcastic or not, Geuru held up her license and danced in circles.
‘I love it so much!’
Geuru clung to the front of the desk and peeked her head up.
“Guild Mashtah. Geuru, when do we go to the next dungeon? Tomorrow? The day after?”
Now that she had received her license, she couldn’t stand wanting to do Hunter-like work.
‘I want to make new toys with dungeon by-products!’
Geuru became happy imagining selling lots of items and giving the guild master pocket money.
‘Guild Mashtah, use this as pocket money. Don’t save too much, buy some dolls too. Your room’s kind of empty.’
Wasn’t this the very definition of filial piety with swag?
However, Jurim merely waved his hand indifferently.
“Next time.”
“When is next time~”
“When you grow about this much taller.”
Jurim waved his hand above his own head.
That was too much!
“That’s! That’s like 100 meters!”
“Did you think I was 100 meters tall this whole time?”
“Ah! 101 meters?”
Jurim let out a sigh.
“A kid who doesn’t even know how many centimeters are in a meter can’t go.”
“But…… there’s a reason I hafta go. Geuru is a guild member.”
“So?”
“I hafta raise my achievements and offer tribute to the guild.”
“Where do you keep learning things like that?”
“I’m not gonna tell yoo…….”
After she had started living with Jurim, the incredibly huge and shiny TV had gained a viewing time limit before she’d even gotten to watch it a few times.
The reason was that they couldn’t let a child watch harmful programs all day.
In the end, Geuru was allowed only a mere one hour and thirty minutes a day.
If she said she had learned it from TV, it was obvious her viewing time would be reduced even more.
‘Hmph. Like I’ll tell you.’
When Geuru pressed her lips shut with a face full of dissatisfaction, Jurim answered as if it didn’t matter either way.
“Children are an exception.”
After saying that, Jurim held out his hand in front of Geuru’s eyes.
“Hand.”
“Haaand.”
When Geuru held out her hand, Jurim took her wrist and put a watch on her.
At that, Geuru turned her wrist this way and that, observing it closely.
‘A watch?’
Jurim said he would sync it with her phone and took her kids’ phone.
‘It’s a smart watch!’
But unlike the smartwatches her other friends wore, it was thick and adult-looking. It was very light, but the material also felt closer to metal.
Since it was an item given by an S-rank Hunter, it might be different from ordinary ones.
‘Then, maybe……?’
“Guild Mashtah, can I do Miracle Change with this?”
Thump, thump.
“Miracle Change?”
Jurim soon recalled the animation Geuru had been staring at so intently.
Whether it was called Miracle Change transformation or something, that scene seemed to be the highlight, and Geuru had watched it with bated breath.
At that time, he thought the protagonist had raised something like a watch worn on their wrist.
“Ahh…….”
Jurim clasped his hands together and, unlike himself, spoke gently.
“Try it.”
“Waaah……!”
Geuru hopped down from the desk, pattered a little distance away, and raised her arm high.
Here goes! Miracle Change!
“Mo-ron!”
Jurim bit down hard on his lip.
“Han Geuru, come here.”
“Yees?”
With a question mark practically over her head, Geuru scurried over beside his chair.
“Say it again.”
“Moron.”
“Slowly. Trans-form.”
“Trans-form.”
“Good.”
After receiving pronunciation correction, Geuru ran back and tried to transform again.
“Trans, form!”
Why isn’t it working? Is this not it?
But Han Geuru, age four, had mastered all kinds of animations.
Based on her long career, Geuru began striking various poses.
“Transforrm! Trans! Form!”
In the end, Jurim covered his mouth and turned away.
“……?”
At the same time his shoulders trembled faintly, the unmistakable sound of snickering could be heard.
That laugh. That attitude…….
‘It was a lie!’
He tricked her! Geuru teared up and thumped his leg.
“Liar! Liar!”
“You’ll get hurt.”
Afraid the child might hurt her hand while hitting him, Jurim lifted her up and set her on the desk.
Geuru stuck out her lips and lowered her head.
Laughing softly in his throat, Jurim lightly pinched her beak-like mouth and asked,
“Are you mad?”
Geuru nodded.
“What should I do to make you feel better?”
The child rolled her eyes around as if gauging his mood. Then she said in a tiny voice,
“Dungeon…….”
“Except that.”
He kept only saying no. Geuru raised both eyebrows in a pout and clenched her two soft little fists.
“But, if I only play around like a grasshopper, I could get fired from Hyeonak.”
When Jurim brushed it off as if it were nothing, Geuru continued desperately.
“That won’t happen, so go play. What a kindergartener has to do is play well and sleep well.”
“But if Geuru isn’t needed anymore, I might have to go back to the orphanage…….”
What was that supposed to mean? Jurim’s face hardened.
“Why would you think that?”
“Just…….”
She stuck out her lips and mumbled.
“Han Geuru.”
Jurim called her as if pressing her, but Geuru only lowered her head deeply and fidgeted with her hands and feet.
“Look at me. Why do you think that?”
Geuru rolled her coral-colored eyes.
‘I don’t want to say…….’
She was afraid of how Jurim would react if she said she was “a child who had become unnecessary to her previous family.”
Maybe he would think she had some flaw, or that it would be fine to return her to the orphanage again.
