Chapter 92
“Ah, wait—!”
Could you please just say something……!
Before it hit the floor, I caught it and stared at it for a moment.
Ding!
[ Constellation, the Tuner of Truth has arranged for Contractor status change information to be retrieved. ]
【Illusion-Confusion Orb (A)】
—Upon impact, generates thick smoke to block vision and disrupts the presence of surrounding targets.
—Duration: 1 minute
Unlike when I’d used it during the midterm exam, what I held in my hand now had a considerably reduced duration.
And I suspected it was because my ability was now perfectly fixed at C-Class.
‘But why did she suddenly throw this…, ah.’
It didn’t take long before I fully grasped why the Tuner had suddenly thrown it to me.
‘The short duration is actually a blessing.’
The smoke would clear away as if it had never been there before the other Hunters caught wind of anything amiss in the chaos that was about to unfold.
[ The Tuner of Truth remarks that this was a hassle to dispose of anyway and tidies up the scattered box with an unhurried gesture. ]
[ The Guardian of Taewon peers into the disordered box with a side-glance, cannot help but gasp, and sits far away from the Tuner of Truth. ]
I pulled out the hat I’d shoved into my wardrobe, pressed it down firmly on my head, and carefully opened the door. Poking only my head through the crack, I looked around—the dim hallway was utterly silent.
‘This should be fine.’
Fortunately, there were no CCTVs in the dormitory under the guise of protecting privacy. Still, if I hadn’t applied a separate coating agent to the bandage wrapped around my left wrist, I would’ve been caught immediately.
‘God, my heart.’
Whether it was because I thought this was something wrong, my heartbeat was quickening. I deserved to feel sorry for the people who were surely sound asleep right now in this building.
I carefully slipped out of my room and stopped at a certain point on the stairs leading down to the second floor. Then I set the small, round object I held in my hand at my feet and acted without hesitation.
Crack.
The moment I stepped on it, I already had my Greatsword summoned and swung it wide. Confirming that the dense smoke of the smoke bomb spread out farther in all directions, I immediately pressed the emergency alarm.
Brrrriiing—!
A sound so loud it made my face crease involuntarily began to fill the interior of the Female Dormitory. Then I ran back up the stairs, tensed my lower abdomen hard, and shouted toward the empty hallway.
“Fire! Fire!”
……Ah, in that moment my shoulders twitched slightly. The tone of my voice had sounded far too unnatural even to my own ears.
‘No matter what, why isn’t anyone coming out?’
Even though the noise was loud enough to hurt, nobody appeared. With no time to waste, I finally shouted once more, even louder.
Only then did a door or two open nearby, and thanks to the smoke that filled the hallway and stairs, the interior quickly fell into chaos.
“What, cough, what is this all of a sudden……!”
A female student who had rushed over to where I stood quickly covered her nose and mouth with her hands and ran down the stairs. Soon after, the urgent voice of the dormitory supervisor crackled over the building’s announcement system, ordering everyone to evacuate outside.
‘This should be enough.’
I also covered my mouth and nose, slipped in among the crowd, and ran down the stairs.
‘Wow, damn.’
I nearly fell before even reaching the bottom. I had barely managed to catch myself as my center of gravity suddenly pitched forward.
With people from each floor moving all at once, there was pushing and shoving everywhere. Still, I naturally slipped in and made my way out of the dormitory.
“Sigh.”
Feeling the lukewarm night air against my skin, I let out a shallow breath. The loud noise was bleeding out even to the outside, but when I glanced across at the Male Dormitory building opposite, all its lights were off and everything was quiet.
“Ah, I’d only just fallen asleep…….”
“Where did the fire suddenly come from?”
“I don’t know. Maybe from the laundry room or somewhere like that?”
In front of the Female Dormitory was complete pandemonium.
Standing among the confused crowd, I cautiously began backing away, then quickly turned my feet toward the rear of the dormitory building. The moment I rounded the corner and stepped onto the dark path, I pressed my back against the hard wall near the back door.
‘I can’t do this twice.’
I never thought something like this would make me breathless.
This time I’d deliberately caused trouble out in the open, and my heart genuinely felt like it might burst. Yet I slowly blinked my eyes and continued focusing my hearing.
Once that loud noise stopped and people went back inside, then I could move.
It was during that time, as I was catching my breath.
“What, mph—!”
Something tapped my shoulder from the side, and I nearly cried out.
‘……I really have gotten duller, haven’t I.’
I had failed to notice Cha Yu-hyeon approaching with his presence deliberately erased. As a result, something cold and unfamiliar was now pressed firmly against my lips.
‘What is this, why——’
I was the one startled, yet Cha Yu-hyeon’s eyes were clearly wide enough to be noticeable too. It was as if he’d seen a ghost. And yet he made no move to remove his hand from my mouth.
‘Ugh, I can’t breathe.’
The moment I found myself moving my mouth and reaching to grab his wrist, Cha Yu-hyeon instead took another step closer and then whispered something low against my ear.
“Keep your voice down.”
Seriously? This guy is completely backwards, isn’t he? He kills his presence, shows up out of nowhere, and startles me—and that’s somehow my fault?
For a moment I was so exasperated that I glared at Cha Yu-hyeon as he stepped back, silently hurling an entire torrent of curses at him with my eyes.
[ The Tuner of Truth stops arranging the box and waves a hand, urgently signaling the Guardian of Taewon to bring over something sweet and sugary. ]
[ The Guardian of Taewon fixes the Tuner of Truth with a bewildered look, grumbling about not being some dessert courier. ]
[ The moment the Guardian of Taewon sees what’s in the Tuner of Truth’s hand, his shoulders flinch, and he trudges off grumpily. ]
Just then, the emergency bell ringing in the distance suddenly cut off. At the same instant, Cha Yu-hyeon’s hand slowly withdrew, and I exhaled the breath I’d been holding.
“Hah…….”
On a hot day like this, why would he bother wearing gloves?
Cha Yu-hyeon, who had been watching me intently, soon angled his body and tilted his head toward the outside. It looked like a gesture to leave quickly while we had the chance.
During our brisk descent to the Experimental Building, we didn’t exchange a word. It felt almost like we’d slipped back to that day when we went together for disciplinary cleaning duty.
I glanced up briefly at the back of Cha Yu-hyeon’s head leading the way.
‘Maybe it’s because I’ve been seeing him so often lately.’
There was no awkwardness, even without forcing any particular topic. Instead, a subtle tension seemed to drift through the air between us.
Of course—we were already venturing down the back path of the Experimental Building. As we went, I surveyed the thick darkness around us.
‘There must be a reason they don’t touch this place.’
The deeper I pushed through the undergrowth, the less it seemed to have changed since I first discovered it.
Then, after a while, I instinctively stopped walking. In the same moment, Cha Yu-hyeon ahead of me also halted, and suddenly he turned back and extended his hand toward me.
‘Could it be…….’
My head tilted to one side almost involuntarily at the unsettling situation. And as if to confirm my suspicion, he briefly raised his hand upward, revealing his palm.
‘How awkward.’
Meeting my mother that one time was one thing, but this kind of excessive courtesy here, now—it was a bit much.
And besides, since I’d nearly tumbled down here once before on that visit, I was actually quite certain of the layout.
I slowly extended my arm toward Cha Yu-hyeon. I could see his fingers beginning to curl slightly in readiness for a proper grip, but instead I gently pulled his wrist down and opened my mouth.
“We don’t have time to waste, do we?”
Without dwelling on it, I stepped past him and placed my foot down into the Pit first.
“……Ha.”
My reaction seemed to amuse him—a short laugh came from behind me—but I chose to ignore it. I simply focused on carefully navigating the steps down.
Yet all my effort proved futile. The moment I fully descended into the Pit, I locked eyes with Cha Yu-hyeon, who was already waiting at the bottom.
‘Honestly, that’s terrifying.’
An assassin was far more frightening than any ghost. And to think he’d waste his strength on something like this.
But there was something even more chilling than that.
“……What?”
So bewildered that I couldn’t help myself, the words slipped out as a murmur.
C-Class, yet every S-Class has become obsessed with me
