My Bothersome Life 97 Field Trip 1

The trees slightly dazzled from the sunlight from the slight raindrops remaining on the leaves. The road was not paved but rather made by people walking through the same route repeatedly. I held a tree branch in one of my hands as a stick to help me walk up a never-ending altitude of a mountain I was required to climb.

Luke handed me a cool bottle of water that was kept cold from the use of his mana.

I grabbed the bottle from him and poured it all over myself to cool me down from the strong rays of the sun.

Normally, when you go up a mountain, you were supposed to feel colder from the different oxygen levels that in turn forms more clouds to cover the sun.

However, it was the exactly the opposite of how I remembered it to be. Maybe this world did not fully follow the concepts that my past life followed due to the existence of mana.

I packed thick sweaters and jackets in my backpack in case it would get colder. However, my extra clothes were now so useless that I would only be able to use them as a place to sit on when I had to sit on the ground or as a extra bed if I had to sleep on the ground.

I currently wore my school p.e. uniform meant for fall while Ellen, Luke, Cillian, and Allan all wore their summer uniform.

"Why are you packing summer clothes?" I asked Luke when it was clearly the middle of fall.

"It's going to be really hot since we're climbing a mountain. Didn't you learn this in kindergarten?" Luke responded like I was the crazy one to pack warm clothes

Sensing that a lecture was going to come from Luke, I quickly answered, "Yea, but still it's the middle of fall so it's going to be cold until we actually start climbing the mountain."

'Just wait until you start suffering from the cold,' I thought back then.

This was how I came to suffer from the burning sun.

"Look the other way!" Allan yelled when my shirt became translucent from being drenched from the water I poured over myself.

Luke covered Allan's eyes while Cillian looked the other way and Ellen started to panic.

"Here a sweater!" Ellen handed me one of my thick sweaters to cover myself.

I threw the sweater back to Ellen as I wasn't going to put on a sweater when I was already drenched in my own sweat. At this rate, I would die from the fierce rays of the sun.

"Rika!" Luke scowled when my sweater landed on the grass.

"Do you really want me to die?" I asked Luke with mad laughter.

I was going crazy from walking in the aching sun for three hours straight without a break. The mana consumption rate was way too high to keep myself cool when the temperature difference was earth-shatteringly big. I initially thought that having an infinite amount of mana would allow me to do anything I would want to do, but unfortunately mana had a lot of science behind it.

An infinite amount of mana was defined as the maximum amount of mana the world stores inside a person without them exploding or suffering from illness from too much mana. That's why as I grew bigger, my mana increased as my body could store more mana.

Since I was a delicate eleven year old, my physical body could not store as much mana as I thought I would be able to. That brings me to this situation where my mana recovers pretty fast when I use it, but not fast enough to match the fast consumption rate that comes from difference between what I visual and reality of the situation.

When I looked up to see how much more I had to continue this torture of an exercise, the intimidating mountain stared back at me.

'Oh great!' I thought seeing that there was no end to this mountain.

"I think Rika lost it," Allan whispered to Ellen.

Luke stepped back as he got surprised from my sudden laughter instead of the familiar groans and complaints about my aching back and legs. Even though I do get crazy when Luke's study sessions get too long, it's never been to this extent where I laughed like a madman when I seemed like I would faint anytime.

"That's why Daniel should have grouped just me, Ellen, Shelly, and Miliana together." I screamed while stumbling over nothing from the lack of energy.

Daniel went over to the podium to say his usual announcements at the end of the day. "I will be grouping you guys into groups of five for the field trip where we will climb a mountain."

"Can we just make our own groups," I asked while raising my hand.

Daniel ignored me to continue on with his announcement. "This field trip will be special since we'll be mixing groups with the other class of the same grade."

'Hmm. What's the point of that?' I thought curiously.

"Hey Rika!" Cillian greeted me.

I ignored Cillian and sat beside Ellen on the hover bus. I guess they have enough confidence that the hover bus won't break down after all investigating the hover buses thoroughly after all those incidents in the summer.
