"If you really want to get technical, I used to be your mentor."
As if Ajie's words had stirred up a memory, the woman smiled faintly without realizing it.
Ajie furrowed his brow. Rose didn't know the specifics of Super Seminary.
But Ajie, who had inherited the memories of countless previous "Ajies," knew a few things about its history.
As the universe's foremost institution of higher learning, Super Seminary's mentors had represented a great deal. Ajie knew that all too well.
Though Super Seminary had later fallen apart over differences in ideals and various other reasons, its scholars had scattered far and wide.
But those scholars had been anything but ordinary.
"If that's the case, then..."
Ajie had just started speaking, hoping to carry on the conversation.
But the woman clearly had no intention of continuing it with him.
She flicked her hand.
The next second, a strip of black tape appeared out of nowhere and was slapped directly over Ajie's mouth.
At the same time, to stop Ajie from ripping the tape off himself, two thick black ropes tied themselves into knots. At the woman's gestured command, they instantly bound Ajie tightly from head to toe.
With a thud and a faint cry of pain, the bound Ajie toppled straight onto the ground.
Judging by his position, he'd probably landed face-first.
Having witnessed Morgana's handiwork firsthand,
Ashe glanced at Ajie, who was now sprawled on the floor like a worm, wriggling and stretching in an attempt to move.
She couldn't help thinking that Morgana had tied him up really well.
As for helping Ajie get untied? Morgana didn't even want to listen to Ajie's blathering, so Ashe didn't either.
Besides, Morgana had tied Ajie up so decisively because she clearly just wanted to get what she came for without talking any more than necessary.
Untie Ajie now? Just so he could say a couple of things before getting tied up again?
No thanks. There was nothing worth watching.
If it were Qilin or Rose getting tied up, Ashe might've been interested in seeing it a few more times.
Wait, why would Ashe just stand there and watch Qilin and Rose get tied up?
Of course, it'd be because Morgana had played dirty and launched a surprise attack, leaving Ashe no time to react, so she could only watch Qilin get bound.
Mm-hmm. That was exactly it.
After making up the scene in her head,
Ashe looked at Morgana with burning anticipation.
Anticipation—no, wariness—as she waited to see what Morgana would do next.
Morgana met Ashe's gaze. A moment ago, Ashe had looked at her coldly, but after she'd tied Ajie up,
Ashe's gaze had suddenly grown heated, with what seemed like a hint of anticipation mixed in.
Morgana raised an eyebrow. What was this supposed to mean? Did this warrior have a thing for being tied up?
Maybe she should tie her up first and then talk?
Though they'd both completely misread each other's intentions,
The mood between them had grown tense after Morgana's move.
Rose had already begun calculating a wormhole,
Ready to attack Morgana at any moment.
Naturally, Morgana had noticed the little maneuver.
She only smiled faintly.
"Relax. I mean you no harm. I followed you in because I was curious about 'her.'"
"As for tying that guy up, I just didn't want to listen to him run his mouth."
"Believe me, if you fight me, you won't win."
"Why don't we try and see? I..."
Stung by Morgana's taunt, Rose was about to attack.
Ashe, standing at the front, knew that everything Morgana had said was true.
The King of Demons wasn't a boss she could take on at this stage.
She swung her hand back. With a bang,
A bullet struck the wall on the other side.
"You..."
Ignoring Rose, Ashe fixed her gaze on Morgana, who wore a playful smile.
She replied in a low voice.
