72 Visiting My Parents 1

I excitedly packed my suitcase as Luke was studying for our next exam while he waited for me.

I didn't possess much stuff I was able to bring back to the third district since most of the stuff I owned were related to things that only people who had mana could use.

Most of the clothes I had bought from the mall before I entered elementary school was too small on me now, so I ended up donating them to unfortunate people from the second district.

Few weeks ago, when I discovered I had no clothes to wear other than my uniform and my formal dresses from social week, I sighed as I knew I had to go shopping soon.

I didn't ever want to go shopping with Luke again from my horrible prior experience and I didn't even have the time to go shopping anyways with all these exams coming up.

So I decided to wear my uniform when going back home just like last time.

Everything inside my suitcase was all the light novels and manga I sneaked into the first district when I came back from the third district last time.

I feared that Luke may get rid of them by ordering someone to clean the room when we were gone so I decided to take them with me.

I knew it was just a possibility but I couldn't take any chances with Luke.

"The school has announced that instead of going on a field trip during this time like we usually do, the school will be giving an assignment instead when visiting your parents," Daniel announced during homeroom.

Everyone in the room could guess why the school wouldn't let us go on a field trip this time. Last month, Luke, Cillian and I accidentally entered the fifth district and ended up interfering with an important mission given out by the high school section of the school.

Fearing that an similar incident may happen this time as well, the school decided to give out an relatively safe assignment so that their reputation didn't get stained anymore.

I instantly smiled as it's been two years since I visited my parent's house in the third district. I guess some of the suffering in the fifth district was worth it if I was able to spend three days with my parents.

However, this meant that I would also have to visit Luke's parents for the other three days. But I ignored that part for now as I focused on the part that I was able to go to the library in the third district that was full of manga and light novels.

When class ended, I immediately ran to my room instead of hanging out for Shelly and Ellen as usual. Miliana had recently joined our group, but she preferred to hang out with the other girls in the class she was before she transferred.

"I'm done packing," I let Luke know.

"Can we go now?" I gave my suitcase for Luke to carry.

I really hoped that he wouldn't make me join his study session as there were barely any time-space rooms in the third district except for specialized high ranking schools in the third district.

Luke used his mana to instantly teleport our luggage into the self-driving car that would drive us to the third district.

Just as there was a way to get into the second district by using the teleportation gate or the staff only room, there was a way to get into the third district by simply driving.

There was a tunnel in the first and third district that allows for people with mana to cross the district. It was the most 'unnoticeable way' to go back and forth from the third district since they were heavily reliant on using cars as their main source of transportation.

"Let's go," I pulled on Luke's hand to quickly drag him into the car.

I didn't want to waste a single minute that would prevent me from going to the third district even though the official visit was supposed to be tomorrow.

For the first time, I constantly nagged Luke to make the arrangements faster so I could spend more time with my parents. Maybe Luke knew how homesick I was, so he arranged everything within ten minutes.

I woke up and stretched my neck as I slept while leaning on Luke's shoulder inside the car.

The drive took about four hours. Luke continued to read the textbook the entire time inside the car as I was about to sleep from today's intense classes.

When I got out of the car, I realized my parents have moved as the car arrived in a different neighborhood than I remembered visiting two years ago.

Although, the size of the house have increased, it looked like it was a typical five bedroom house for an average family of four people.

'Why would they suddenly move?' I thought.

Clearing the bad thoughts from my head, I knocked on the door.

When no one came to open the door, I used mana to open the door when I saw Luke was busy with carrying our suitcases.
