He closed his eyes with a focused expression, but suddenly, as if something had just clicked, his eyes shot open, and he shouted.

“That’s it! The culprit ran away without making a single sound! Damn it, that means their luck will run away too… Just like a true villain. Absolutely evil.”

That was because, after I turned the corner to avoid pursuit yesterday, I had taken off my shoes and walked in just my socks.

“Among us, who can walk naturally without making a sound?!”

The answer to that question was obvious. Of course, he wasn’t going to find me that way. Because…

“Well, sir… We can all walk without making a sound.”

“What? Why?”

“That’s because we’re not allowed to make any noise in the hallway when Salvia is sleeping…”@@novelbin@@

“Haha…”

Yeah, that’s how it was. When I awkwardly looked at the company commander and raised the corners of my mouth in a forced smile, he ground his teeth in frustration.

‘My training methods have proven useful again.’

Just how far ahead can I see into the future? Every time I think about it, I realize—I really am a damn genius.

Since even the recruits had demonstrated how to walk silently, the company commander seemed to conclude that, for now, he had no way forward. His face flushed red, and he stormed off back to his office.

But even then, he didn’t seem to be giving up, as he left with these parting words.

“I will find out who it was… I will never give up.”

Until now, he had never shown the slightest interest in us. But for the first time, I could hear real passion and determination in his voice…

‘Shit.’

I thought I had escaped danger unscathed, but he was clearly dead set on finding the culprit no matter what. Yeah, I was well and truly screwed.
