Chapter 546 - Continuing Winter? (5)

"You can never ever throw things unless you're in danger. Danger defined as criminals, stalkers, fairies and monsters. When you throw things, you may hurt the person no matter what the object is, including their physical body and feelings," Luke had an entire definition.

"But aren't you people criminals? Kidnappers to be specific," I pointed out.

"Have I ever put you in danger before?" Luke dismissed my claim.

"Danger of extreme stress," I whipped out.

"Just confine her to us," Alex mumbled.

"You people aren't even human beings. This means you're not considered to be a person," I used his own definition against him..

"We're going to have to place that necklace on her," Luke agreed with Alex.

"And I won't listen to anything you say anymore. I'm not going to do the workbooks or eat any of those plates," I was implying they would have nothing against me anymore.

"You know how weak this body is when it doesn't eat for the entire day," I smiled.

"You're using your health against us," Alex became dumbfounded.

"How could you when this is all done for you?" He got angry for Luke.

"So make your choice," I had the upper hand.

"You know throwing things is wrong. If you have properly apologized to us, we wouldn't have considered using the necklace on you in the first place," Alex blamed everything on me.

"We don't throw stuff no matter how angry we get," he added.

"It's fine Alex. Let her stay inside the room. She can't do anything anyways," Luke seemed extremely disappointed in me.

"Rika, you're never leaving this room like you wanted. In exchange, the study sessions will double with the bottle of supplements. I won't accept any excuses this time," he turned to me.

The three of them left the room, making me seem like the bad one. However, this was the perfect chance to continue my research. I pulled out the book I was reading from the dimensional library. Although I was free for the rest of the day today, it wasn't guaranteed starting from tomorrow. I knew from Luke's eyes that he would become more merciless during the study sessions from now on.

Flipping through the pages, my eyes widened when I finally found a way to release the restraints. It would only be released for twenty minutes at most, explaining why I lost last time. There was also a limit in how often it could be done, a chance of three times before I turned sixteen once I was at a certain age. The conditions had to be when I was in extreme circumstances with no other option.

I had to be desperate for this to work, convinced I would die otherwise. With the number of safety measures Luke placed inside this mansion, it would be hard to do. I needed to start by leaving this room. But I had just convinced them that I wouldn't be leaving this room for the rest of my life. Studying the furniture in my bedroom, I wondered which objects I should use. I was more helpless without any of my mana, making my task a little easier.

I started to search for dangerous objects in my room, trying to open all the drawers and my closet. I was surprised when I discovered none of them would open, showing how Luke had predicted some of this. I also couldn't move any of the bigger furniture like the table and bed no matter how much I tried. The best I could do was to jump from my bed to the floor, hoping I would think I would die. However, the floors were all carpeted, making the job harder.

I never thought I would have to use my own acting skills to convince myself that I was in danger. I began to jump on my bed, trying to get as much height as possible. Closing my eyes, I imagined I was at the edge of a large cliff before screaming when I jumped off my bed. When I opened my eyes, I was disappointed, finding me land perfectly on the ground. Maybe I needed more practice in doing this.

"What happened?" Luke slammed the door open from hearing my scream.

"Nothing happened. Just continue doing whatever you usually do," I knew he wouldn't let me out.

"So close the door," I waited for him to leave.

It was very hard to pretend I was interested in braiding my own hair for the entire hour. As soon as he left, it was time to go back to screaming like I was dying. I jumped on my bed again, impressed with my skills when I almost reached the ceiling from my practice. I didn't expect it would feel like a trampoline, having fun from being bored with nothing else to do. Once I reached the ceiling, I screamed as I jumped towards the floor while closing my eyes.

However, I found myself safely landed on the floor. This was harder than I thought. In the middle of my fourth attempt, Charles opened the door. He watched me scream as I jumped off my bed. Thankfully, I already had the perfect excuse, "I was bored. I'm trying to imitate a rollercoaster here since I can never go to the amusement park."

"So can you leave me alone?" I gestured to him to close the door.

"Who does this because they were bored?" Charles looked at me like I was a crazy person.
