My Bothersome Life 70 Making Amends 2

"The sixth district is a very scary place. It is the district where the flow of mana is heavily constricted and has the least amount of development." Christopher started to explain.

"This is why the going back and forth to the sixth district is very rare. When people are deployed to the sixth district, they are transported to a certain region to observe the environment in the sixth district and almost never come in contact with the true people who live there."

I knew the sixth district was a horrible place from the constant warnings from my parents, but my impressions became worse when I heard of Christopher's grim teachings about the sixth district in detail.

[Last stop and the final stop is the platform in the sixth district. All passengers must get off at this final stop] The voice rang out from the speaker.

When the bus arrived at the platform, the bus vanished into thin air and we were left in the freezing cold.

So just in case the passengers doesn't get out, it kicks the passengers out. No wonder not many people used the hover bus.

"Rika!!!!" Charles screamed.

"Sorry, I didn't know this hover bus was on its way to the sixth district," I tried to console Charles.

"Oh really?" Charles yelled in a clear sarcastic tone.

"I really thought this hover bus was on its way back to school" I yelled back.

"What do you plan to do now Rika?" Charles asked mockingly.

We were in the middle of empty land full of snow with signs of civilization potentially miles away from where we stood.

The air was filled with the never stopping snowflakes falling down into the white landscape.

"Maybe go to where the smoke is? It's better than freezing to death?" I asked.

"Didn't you learn in school to never make contact from people living in the sixth district?"

Did I? Well for now, walking towards the tents were our best option for survival.

I silently walked towards to the place with tents while ignoring Charles' remarks.

"Rika. Rika! I was saying instead of walking we could use our marbles!" Charles yelled.

I stopped ignoring Charles as it was a great idea. Charles and I were in our spring uniform since it was not summer yet.

I opened my marble to try to change into my winter clothes.

"Open!" I chanted.

The marble did not respond and even after several attempts, it never responded except for showing the time and inventory inside it.

Charles stomped his feet as his attempts did not succeed as well.

After giving up on the marble, I miserably continued walking to those tiny tents that seemed it was still miles away.

Eventually, Charles had no energy to complain and we came to a silent compromise as he followed me for over five hours in the cold according to the time displayed in the marble with no other option.

"Charles, I can't walk anymore..." I whispered.

I was out of energy and my vision blurred and blacked out occasionally.

When I stumbled, I anticipated landing in the snow. However, Charles quickly pulled me up before I hit the snow even though he looked worse than I did.

His dark umber hair topped with white snow and skin turning more cold with each breath paled with his burned out amber eyes with loss.

I knew I was going burn out sooner than Charles. I was stumbling more often and I had to lean on Charles' arm to continue walking even with his terrible appearance.

"I'm sorry Charles... I should have worked on the project with you from the start instead of being stubborn." I said with last bits of my energy.

I felt my body going limp as Charles responded in a tiny voice, "It's my fault as well. I should have listened to your opinions too and I apologize for not apologizing sincerely before and making a ruckus."

"So Rika... don't faint now. We still have ways to go." Charles painfully continued.

I wanted to continue but I knew this was my limit.

My vision started to fade into darkness as I felt someone shaking my body aggressively as if someone was trying to wake me up.

"Rika!" Charles screamed in terror.
