The moon was dark, the wind was high. Wearing a black outfit, Vinny peeked out from the side door of the student council building, looked around, and set off.
At this hour, most student council members had already left. Only workaholics like Mirexia would stay late to work overtime. Plus, he was wearing a night cloak he had borrowed from Zoe. As long as he avoided the light, no one could see him.
Carrying a letter, Vinny avoided the street lamps and moved forward through the night. A few days ago, he had already scouted the abandoned academy building Zoe mentioned, observing the surroundings and figuring out the most hidden route to get there.
The abandoned academy building was eerily silent at night, filled with dilapidated structures.
Half-collapsed walls were everywhere, and piles of discarded desks and chairs were stacked like small hills by the trees. The nearby park was overgrown with weeds, and the pond was filled with filthy water.
It seemed this place had been abandoned for a long time. Since Carillian Academy had plenty of space and dealing with this area was troublesome, it had been left to decay.
Since no one lived here, the street lamps had long been out of repair, and no one cared. The visibility at night was very low, especially since Vinny was wearing a night cloak.
This cloak was a higher-end model, even capable of muffling sound to some extent, leaving no trace.
Vinny arrived at the old tree Zoe had described. To be safe, he reached into the tree hollow, gently placed the note on the ground, and then quietly left.
Vinny retreated along the same route he had come. Although it was late and there were hardly any students on the streets, and no one would see him, Vinny still took extra precautions, sticking to the shadows and avoiding all lit areas.
He planned to find a secluded spot to change out of the night cloak before returning to his dorm.
That shrubbery area would be perfect. He could change out of the night cloak in the bushes and then make his way back to the dorm through the grass.
However, as he approached the bushes, he suddenly felt as if the scene before him paused for a moment.
Vinny was startled. He felt like something had happened in that instant. He touched his cloak, it was securely fastened.
The surroundings were as quiet as before, with no movement except the rustling of the grass in the wind.
Nothing had happened. It must have been his imagination.
“Sniff... why does it smell so nice?” A fleeting fragrance brushed his nose, disappearing before he could get a good whiff, making him think it was just his imagination.
It must have been from the cloak, right?
After all, Zoe had worn it. Girls usually like to wear perfume or apply scented ointments and cosmetics, so it was normal.
