My Bothersome Life Chapter 34

"How did my partner find me so fast?" I asked .

Ben had an expression like 'oh, so we start from there' . "Well, each partner can track where their partner is as an emergency precaution with the marble you were given . You will get many dangerous assignments in the future so they train you to use it at an early age . "

And why didn't I know about this? Maybe I should have payed more attention to that lecture in the beginning of elementary school when they explained how to use the marble .

Sigh . No wonder Luke knew almost where I was all the time . I felt like he was using the tracking device almost everyday .

"Is there any way to stop the tracking as it can get a little bothersome?" I asked to sustain my private life .

Advertisement"Well, it's not recommended, but you can turn the tracking off by blocking the person you visualize with your mana and pour it into the marble . However, it's only temporary as you can do it for 24 hours . " Ben responded back .

24 hours would be enough . I closed my eyes and visualized Luke as the person I wanted to block . I then poured my image I had in mind into the marble with my mana and my marble glowed a hint of white light instead of its usual translucent blue .

"Like this?" I asked .

"Yea . Exactly like that . " Ben said as he strangely smiled .

It was about this time that our order finally came out . Ben ordered us two pieces of tender steak with mashed potatoes and a shrimp salad as a side .

It looked appetizing . Now in order to enjoy my meal, I used my mana again to block Alex from the tracking just in case he would be able to use it as well .

"Rika if it's ok to ask this, can I ask how much mana you have? Normally people at your age wouldn't be able to do what you did, as they don't have that much excess mana . " Ben asked hesitantly .

"The teacher said that it looks like I almost don't have a limit on how much excess mana that I have . " I replied while eating a piece of steak .

Ben looked utterly shocked at this point . Oopps . Did I reveal too much about myself?

I looked outside the window to hide my flustered face, as I saw a group of young children asking the people around them if they saw a 'young child with gradient red hair and orange pupil eyes wearing a pink lace dress' . This couldn't be good news could it?

And they were frighteningly close to where I was now . When Ben noticed my gaze towards the window, he said, "I think it's better you get back to them now . It looks like your partners are quite worried about you since you put the tracking off . "

No way . I can imagine how bad their lectures are going to be . When Ben paid for our meal and we exited the restaurant, the 'frightening young group of children' spotted me almost right away .

Shelly ran to hug me and said, "We were worried when both Alex and Luke suddenly couldn't track you!"

Sob . Shelly, you're such a nice person trying to buy me some time before my doom, as I saw some eerie smiles on two children behind her .

When Ben looked at the horrible reunion, he said to me, "I'll get going now . It was nice meeting you Rika . "

I nodded back . It was nice knowing you too before I get killed at any moment here .

"Rika!" Two voices simultaneously said .

"Let's remain in a calm manner," I replied while slowly turning back .

"In a calm manner you say . At this point, I feel sorry for Luke who has you as his original partner!" Alex almost yelled while raising one of his eyebrows and crossing his arms .

"At this rate, we're going to get the attention of people nearby . Look! They're already starting to stare!" I pointed out .

Alex angrily grabbed my hand and said, "We're going back to school . Now!"

Sure why not? At least it was better than this place . I reluctantly let Alex drag me back to that cliff for one hour while we exchanged no words among us .

Wow . Today was going to be a long day . Wasn't it?
