Chapter 177 - Life Inside a Cage (3) (2/2)

I wondered if Luke would have revealed this information to me if I never asked. But it did make sense why he never let me out of the room. What day was it now? Since the flow of time was different, I didn't know how much time had passed.

”I went to school yesterday to handle the assignment, others should still be in the fourth district,” Luke answered my questioning gaze.

I sighed in relief. It seemed like one day was equivalent to one week in this room. This meant one more month would be a total of four days outside the room.

”Can't I momentarily leave this room to get my supply of light novels?” I thought out loud.

”I already brought you other books,” Luke sighed.

”There's no one here except for us and your family servants so it won't affect your family name. So can't you at least let me enjoy my time here?” I tried to negotiate.

”I'm willing to exchange my slice of pizza for this,” I gave up my precious comfort food.

”Did you at least look through the books inside this room?”

I did look at the title of the books written on the spines or briefly at the covers. I couldn't help but wake up to the scenery of a mini library in front of me. I proudly nodded my head.

”Then can you tell me the content inside this book?” Luke took out a random book on the shelf.

”It's about intermediate magical spells,” I read the title.

”Maybe if you read at least one book, I'll think about bringing your comic books.”

Each book was thick to the point it had to be at least five hundred pages. I didn't want to use absorb for such a trivial task since I needed to save it to gain more points. I clenched my fists, wondering why I even needed permission on what books to read.

”That's it, I'm out of this room,” I stomped towards the exit.

Since Luke was inside the room, I expected the door to open. However, it was locked as usual. The next option was teleportation. I visualized going to my parent's house in the third district while gathering a mass amount of mana. But instead of finding myself in front of their door, I was still stuck inside this room. It was like the room intentionally blocked using teleportation itself.

”What's with this room?” I turned to Luke.
