I quietly opened the door and came out to the hallway. The dorm floor security camera was still only at the entrance, and my place was on the inner side, so thanks to the winding hallway, up to here didn’t stand out in anybody’s eyes and I could move around.

After searching the surroundings and firmly putting on the hat, I used Lizard Stuck to a Wall to its maximum.

It was originally a D-Rank skill without a big effect, but it was different now. Since the special skill that hid your appearance had as much as four times the effect. Even if someone was A-Rank, if they didn’t pay attention to their surroundings, they wouldn’t be able to notice.

Still, just in case, I had already tried it out last night.

I had held my breath and stood still in a corner of the hallway while using Wall Lizard, but none of the A-Ranks coming and going recognized me.

‘Yerim went to the Association, so I just have to be careful of that little brother.’

If I did happen to be caught, well, so what. Like Sung Hyunjae said, it was okay for me to be a little more assertive. I wasn’t trying to do something bad, and what would that guy Yoohyun do with me being caught secretly trying to go out? Try to confine me like before?

It might’ve been different if it was before the familiar-related negotiations, but even if he was the Haeyeon Guild Leader, he couldn’t do anything he wanted with my personal matters. He would probably just nag a little. Grumble ‘can’t you trust me’, and get disappointed, being like ‘as expected, there was something you were hiding’……

As expected, I should strive as much as possible not to get caught; it was annoying.

When I went toward the elevator, I saw a Haeyeon A-Rank Hunter who had brought over a chair and was reading. I observed her as I stood quietly in a corner.

The door to the emergency stairs were locked, and if the elevator moved on its own, she would think it was suspicious. So I had no choice but to wait. For the cafeteria delivery person.

I had come out around lunch time, so it didn’t take long for the elevator to come up. Then, the cafeteria employee passed a lunch box to the Hunter. In the meantime, I took the chance to enter the elevator.

“Thank you. Please have a good meal.”

The cafeteria employee got on the elevator again. There was a security camera inside the elevator, so while the employee was covering the buttons as they pressed the one for the floor the cafeteria was on, I stretched out a tentacle and stealthily pressed the 1st floor too. Thankfully, if the elevator button was pressed on the relevant floor, then the inside button also lit up, so the employee didn’t seem to think much of it. From the security camera’s point of view, it would look like the employee had accidentally pressed it.

After passing the cafeteria floor and going down to the 1st floor, I saw the closed glass door between the lobby and the connecting hallway. This was the biggest problem.

I had no choice but to keep waiting for someone to come and go.

‘It’d be okay as long as Yoohyun doesn’t come out.’

Don’t come, don’t come, do your work. And if I delayed too long, Yerim could return too. If only someone would quickly come in or go out.

Thankfully, it wasn’t long before a Haeyeon B-Rank Hunter came over. As soon as the security room opened the glass door, I quickly went out. There was one A-Rank Hunter stationed in the security room, but maybe because there were a lot of people coming and going, they didn’t notice a hint of weirdness.
