My Bothersome Life Chapter 54

I woke up to find myself still inside the forest . I knew I fainted from exhaustion and the intense events kept my heart pounding rapidly from the aftereffects .

I wondered why nobody was bothered to search for me as the sunshine greeted me as it was telling me it was morning now . When I walked to near the entrance of the forest to go back to the hotel, I saw a thin layer of mana surrounding the the area that I was inside .

A dimensional shield . No wonder no one knew! This shield was so well made that it was highly likely that even Luke wouldn't be aware of its existence .

Luckly, once you notice the shield, it's easy to break from the inside with just a sharp object . Maybe it was just a fluke that I grabbed a dagger with me from the church when I was running away .

I grabbed the dagger from the ground and stabbed the shield to find it breaking like glass to soon vanish into the thin air afterwards .

The dimensional shield was made to hide mana from the other districts . Anything that occurred inside the shield would remain inside the shield . Once the shield was broken, everything would go back to normal and nobody would see anything that had happened within the barrier .

When I broke the shield, I saw several people searching for a girl with wavy red hair and bright jeweled orange eyes wearing a fancy school uniform . The police was also scattered around the area with the teachers from school helping with the search .

Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I saw Luke notice me first with a surprised and worried face that screamed, "Rika! We found her! She's right over here!"

Many people had relief wash over their faces, but was soon replaced with pity and sorrow .

Ahh . It was probably because of my tattered clothes that revealed my shoulders and waist with scars and scratches places all over my body . There was still blood spilling from my forehead and I was holding a dagger that was painted with recently dried blood . My neck was full with scars from the scythe and maybe my eyes looked dead as I just noticed my head didn't stop bleeding from who knows where it came from .

"I'm ok," I said while smiling to try to lighten the mood .

I quickly put the dagger behind my back to hide it from the people who haven't seen it yet . Although it seemed that Luke noticed it with his eyes narrowing from the sight of the dagger when he first saw me .

However, he just covered me up with a blanket as he escorted me into the car while thanking everyone with the search .

On our way to the hotel, we didn't speak a single word to one another . I guess the lecture was going to start once we entered the hotel room .

Once we entered our rooms, before Luke could say anything, I calmly said, "Let me shower and change and then we can talk . "

Before he could respond, I went to my room to put my clothes off . My clothes that once dazzled in its silky material was dirty with blood and was ripped apart very badly . There was no display of its former splendor as it crumbled apart after I put all of it off .

Once the water reached my wounds, I cried from the pain until I made sure each one was disinfected .

In my closet, there were clothes that I brought from the first district all neatly organized . I was glad I brought them, thinking I could wear them while sightseeing in the third district .

I put on some underwear and a long dress with long sleeves that would help cover my wounds .

Now it was time to face Luke .
