My skill [Concealment] wasn't [Invisibility], so it couldn't hide me in plain sight after I was discovered, especially by someone so close.
A familiar figure stood within ten feet of me.
Bleached, bob-cut, untied hair, tattoos on her hands, and a small cigarette between her fingers that she was trying to light.
She was Veena Rathi, my partner in the [Efficient Control of Magic Attributes] class.
Although my body tensed at the sight of her, outwardly, I remained composed.
Thanks to my skill [Indomitable], my mind stayed remarkably calm despite the suddenness of the situation, racing to find the best way out.
I knew this was Veena's secret smoking spot, which she used early in the morning.
However, I had intended to use this information later and set up a similar situation when I was certain she wouldn't snitch on me.
Of course, Veena wasn't the type to break trust, but being careful was always important.
