"Sylvie, what are you doing?" Elise and Maria finally resolved their courage as they went down the girl's dormitory floor to the first floor .
"Help me…" Sylvie said weakly as she was still bound and crying .
"Hello, you two . " The landlady said as she had Sylvie sit on her lap who was struggling to no avail .
'What kind of ropes are these . Why can't I break free from them!' Sylvie cried inside her head as her ropes would not budge no matter how much energy she used .
"Wait . Isn't that the rope I used to set up the trap last night?" Elise pointed out as she looked at the rope bounding Sylvie tight .
Advertisement"Yes, it is the rope you set for your trap last night . " The landlady said as she continued to stroke Sylvie's head as if she was trying to pacify a tiny kitten .
" . . . Wait, you're the one that attacked us last night?" Elise asked her .
"Indeed, I am the one that attacked you two last night . Are you two okay now? I did injure you quite a bit no?" The landlady asked Maria and Elise .
"We're fine now…" Maria replied as she was already afraid of the woman in front of her .
"No need to be scared . I just wanted to say that congratulations on passing the test here . You may live here now . Your room will be the room I showed the two of you . " The landlady said .
"Alright…" Elise said as she frowned at the still struggling Sylvie who had been crying for help the entire time .
"Ha~ Stop struggling Sylvie . These ropes were specially enchanted . They are technically unbreakable . " Elise said as she looked at the crying Sylvie .
"Hic . Why do you have unbreakable ropes!" Sylvie cried out to her .
"My parents thought of the possibility I'd be attacked at night . So they gave me this for some reason, just so I wouldn't kill them . Or the ropes that are easily breakable would be useless . " Elise said .
"Oh . Why is it being used on me then!" Sylvie cried out once more .
"Because your luck is terrible, and you also don't look for traps . " Elise said .
"Uu~ I've never learned anything about traps though…" Sylvie said weakly .
"Then start learning about traps . " Elise said .
"But! I can detect traps using magic! So what's the point!" Sylvie said .
"You clearly didn't use it this time . You won't always be using it . Traps get you from nowhere, that's why it is called a trap . " Elise said .
"Humph!" Sylvie harrumphed as she looked away from Elise not wanting to say more .
"That's right, you should learn it . Even if you can detect a trap, how will you know what the trap does? And using it will also drain MP . Which isn't ideal if one is a mage . " The landlady added .
"Nyoo," Sylvie whined as she did not want to learn anymore . She was already sick and tired from being stuck in school . She really wanted to start exploring like other stories .
'Just get me outta here!' She thought inside her head as her limbs were feeling sore from the ropes .
