The walk over to the exit was easy. The pillars were such a good help in terms of just sneaking around. I didn't even realize it but I arrived at the gate where Drill and the others had come from. The first area seems to have a lack of monsters, so I just breeze through it finally reaching the entrance where we all had come from.
But, how am I supposed to go out safe now? I'm by myself escaping the dungeon we had just come into. They might all be just slaves, but there could be one who is incredibly loyal or stupid trying to earn freedom by snitching on me.
I could only use one more Arm, and even that makes me incredibly tired. I've used 3 already earlier, so my only choice would be to rest here, which is dumb as they are bound to go in after realizing no one has come out in a while, or just screw it and go out.
" STOP! I have to save my wife! " I suddenly hear a scream escape from the entrance.
" You can't! You just escaped and you're still injured " Two men were stopping him from going out holding both of his arms in theirs.
" Please... " He seemed desperate. " They're my world and I can't live without them. " He started crying and despair seemed to have started devouring him.
" Let him be. We're slaves anyways, who would care if we die. Only our families would so let him go to his " A middle-aged man stopped the two who were holding both his arms.
They still seemed troubled by it, but they could only respect his choice to do so.
" Come we still have the others to heal " The injured man suddenly started sprinting the moment his arms were freed.
It seems like the survivors had already escaped the Lair. I would've been safe to exit, it seems. I might've overthought a bit.
With that, I walk over to the entrance. I didn't need to act this time, as my entire body hurt already mainly due to constant physical work with my frail body.
The injured man seemed to have noticed me so he ran towards me instantly.
" Did you see a woman with brown hair down there? " He was panicking and incredibly nervous.
" Uhhh... Uhhhh... She has the most beautiful eyes in the world. Her smile is very bright, and she's just a little above my height "
...
" I haven't man... I'm sorry. I'll wish that you find her " I could only say as I slouch towards the exit. He passes me still full-on running.
" Wait! There's another one " The men from earlier seemed to have noticed me walking towards them.
They run towards me and help me to the medical station. They applied healing magic on me albeit a little weak, It was still enough to relieve me from the pain I was feeling. I decided to sleep there as there are no slaves who own a Holic, so I should be safe. The student at Tree was normally a protector from others, as Tree was the strongest weapon and one of the most important forces in terms of saving Humanity. No one would dare to kill a student of Tree unless they could hide it. But this was not the case. I was just a 1* Hunter with a useless ability. I don't even know how I managed to get into Tree, but If they were to find out I made an enemy out of the Jolie family, they could just throw me away.
But I'd sleep for a few hours for now. I'll just set my alarms in the middle of the night to go out when most of everyone is asleep.
...
I snuck out around 4 in the morning changing the worker outfit to my normal civilian clothes. I still had to do something, to somehow avoid the suspicions of the guards so I went out for a bit back to the Zen Forest. A few hunters were strolling around but they didn't mind me and just went out of their way.
I formed two arms behind me with mana charged in. * Bang *
I hunted a goblin to use as an alibi for my little expedition. I needed to raise my Ki to form more arms if I want to kill something stronger. I could only kill the weakest monster out there for now.
I placed the Goblin corpse in the space pouch and immediately headed towards Terra. It was already morning so the area was noisier than ever. They all seem to be rushing towards the Red Bridge, so I think the word has spread already. They had to close it after all if they don't want an outbreak. Lair works by getting power through a core. The moment you destroy that core, the Lair goes down with it. It becomes a normal structure incapable of producing life and traps.
I entered the gate easily, with my student Id. Now comes the hard part... I walk towards Terra, quite afraid of the repercussions.
I went to the gate giving them my Holic. Exited at 1 pm, Entered at 8 am. That would be a violation of the curfew Mr. Mon. The semester hasn't even started and we're already seeing these actions from you?
" Exactly... Sir The semester hasn't even started yet so please give me a break. "
" Hah. don't worry, you had quite the eventful day two days ago, so I'd cut you some slack. No first warnings for you "
Yesterday as well actually...
" Thanks," I say as I slowly walk towards my dorm. I didn't even get to use the goblin alibi. so that was quite great.
I walk towards the Tiger dorms, ready to take a rest after such eventful days. It was all worth it though, as if I had arrived there today, the artifact would've got found by Drill already.
Ah... Now that I look at it, I could finally see the true worth of the Tiger dorm. It might be less extravagant than the others, It was still something to go back home to. After two days straight of intense action, I could take some relaxation and an entire day of good long sleep.
" Exited at 1 pm, Entered at 8 am " I suddenly hear the voice of a woman behind me.
Oh no...
" Quite, a vigorous body huh? not quite frail I see... "
Jean...
