Chereads / Slaves of Blood / Chapter 24 - Door

Chapter 24 - Door

Just as she reached the women's room area, Valery approached the main entrance. There was the only supervisor that could be found and was visible to all those women who had a dealings with the supervisors.

The supervisor looked at the paddle and with a nod of his head. 

Valery was now more than stuck to do whatever she wanted in her room. 

Even with the freedoms provided by the academy it is necessary to ask permission for various things, an example was this very thing Valery was doing. Some permissions were a bit simpler and could be asked directly to a supervisor or an evaluator.

Practically an evaluator and a supervisor are the same thing so calling them one way or the other is the same thing, although of course internametne in the academy has its roles and assignments.

Valery carried his things hidden in the cloth, the silver bells were well secured so no one would notice they were there.

Of course, what Valery carried on her back would not go unnoticed by others, much less at this time of day. Where no one was in class and everyone was minding their own business.

Those who had already been looking for information about various Barons and had some basic and public information about Valery could quickly intuit what she was doing.

For a Baroness and a lock maker she was bold but very clever. 

That won the admiration and caution of some. Others ignored her actions believing them to be meaningless and that nothing serious could happen. 

No one would kill a student overnight.

Valery arrived at her apartment and entered quietly, she checked her door for a moment and noticed that the hole was already made.

It was fortunate that before she left she had asked the supervisor to drill a hole in the door frame, she gave the distance and depth level indicated.

As always the supervisors are effective and quick' thought Valery with a smile.

She looked at the door and then at Victor who was just as she had left him, there was no change in the room that looked suspicious.

She still closed the door and checked where she hid what the director had given her.

She moved Victor who was sitting in front of the wardrobe, as she moved him Valery moved several items to one side. Even the wood of the wardrobe came into view. With a light blow, the wood was pushed backwards.

Thus appearing a secret compartment that Valery made before leaving. 

When she saw that the box and its contents were there, she let out a sigh of relief. 

Even though Valery wanted to help Victor, she knew that if Victor disappeared now and it was still in this compartment she would feel better. Valery saw Victor, somehow or other Victor was also a sure thing.

Since many already saw her, besides that they saw her leaving the place where Hana lives. They must have known that she had gotten materials for something. If someone comes and checks the door, they will notice the new lock.

They will suspect that she is guarding something and at any moment they will try to get in!

If they took this away, she would lose her chance. Your opportunity to do something, to get out of this situation, to do something... 

Supiro and left everything as it was. 

She made Victor more comfortable and gave him some water, she looked at his eyes and also at Victor's body. 

"You're gaining weight" She smiled happily, even though he looked slim and handsome before, his beauty was a bit marred by his extremely thin body due to lack of food. 

Now he looked much 

Valery sat down on the floor and together with the material he started to make the new door lock. His superhuman strength was of great help in doing many things.

With her fingernails she drilled holes in the metal plates and sharpened the tips of the screws. Valery modified each piece to fit it role.

When everything was perfect, she put it all together and in a few minutes she was able to put everything in place. It was quick and easy, Valery took one of the silver bell and stuffed it with fabric.

Avoiding that they would create sound.

She made several purges and then modified them a bit, improving the result. Now when she went out, the doorknob would close and she...

"Now how am I going to get in..." Valery said in frustration.

How could she avoid something so basic on a lock?

She saw a little and couldn't do much besides use it when she was inside. If she made the lock on the outside that would make it more visible and it would be easier to circumvent this little defense.

Knowledge is power, everyone can know about her lock, but not the type, and the way of defense it creates...

Valery hesitated for a moment and had to make further modifications to the lock. So now the lock opens with some specific movements that have to be made on the door to open it.

Sighing a bit wearily, it was more difficult to make it work with a pattern of movements, since she had to count the pressure and distances in each movement to open the door. If it was something urgent it was easy to kick the door open by activating the means of defense.

That could also help her in a desperate moment.

At that moment, three gentle, well-moderated, gentle knocks created the perfect sound for whoever was inside the room to open the door.

Valery, who was not prepared to receive visitors, got up quickly and put on her clothes.

She put aside the metal scraps so that when she opened the door they would not be visible. 

As she was about to open the door she stopped.

Her voice loud and clear

""Who is it?"" she asked.

Valery didn't receive an immediate answer, she got nervous with every millisecond she felt passing...
