Physics The Greatest Magic

"But before that, I'd like to ask something." Said the lady 

John didn't know what to expect, but he didn't plan on taking this conversation lightly, even if he didn't mention it, he didn't really feel comfortable knowing that there was another person in his body. 

"Sure, go ahead" John replied 

"On the fight, you used a holy light spell, and the chant-less version of it, I've been watching the things you've been doing, from your consciousness, but I don't recall you ever using that spell, not to mention the sphere you made." She said 

John was confused, he had thought that she could hear and see everything that he was thinking so he wasn't sure how to react to what she had just said 

"Hmm... Can't you just read my mind?" 

He decided to just be straightforward and ask, he was curious as well so her bringing it up, made it easier for him to mention it 

"Ahaha... It doesn't work like that... You see... My soul is trapped in your consciousness." 

"What?!" shouted John 

He thought that she was purposely keeping an eye on him but instead of that, she was trapped here. 

"Sorry, I got a bit too surprised, so wait, what you're saying is, you're soul is trapped inside of my body, but mainly in my mind?" John asked 

"It's something like that, although I'm in your mind, I'm only in a part of it, I can't hear your thoughts, or read your mind like you probably expected, but I can see what you see..." 

When john heard those last few words, he began to sweat nervously. He then, began desperately thinking of a way to change the topic 

"A-Ah, S-So, U-Uh... R-Regarding your question-" 

"N-No, it's fine, really, you don't have to feel embarrass-" 

"It's fine, I'm not embarassed at all." Said John with a smile in his face 

[Someone please kill me] John thought to himself 

"Ah, that's good, I thought you'd be because-" 

"Like I was saying, It was my first time using that spell so I understand you'd be confused" 

"First time..." She muttered to herself 

John felt relieved that the topic had finally changed, but because she had mentioned it, he was secretly dying of embarrassment on the inside. 

"Yeah, since you've seen everything from my perspective, remember the first night where I took Eleanor on a flight?" John asked 

"You mean the night you flirted with her?" She asked 

"I did?" John asked 

He wasn't much of a lady's man so he wasn't very good at flirting, which is why what she said confused him, but he continued his explanation, without thinking too deeply on it 

"Ah... I thought that you were ignorant, but it looks like you're just plain dense..." 

"Dense...? Me?" 

John genuinely believed that he was quick at understanding things, even if he wasn't smart. When it came to studying, mechanisms or questions, he would be able to quickly grasp the concept, that's how it had always been for him. 

The lady looked at john, but since he couldn't properly see her expression, he couldn't understand what she was thinking. 

She let out a sigh, before saying "Nevermind, but yeah, what happened that night which made you learn how to use light magic?" She asked 

"I assumed that I wouldn't be able to use light magic, because I wasn't baptised. People say that, that is a requirement" Said john 

"Yes, I've also heard that" She said 

"When I saw Eleanor chanting that day, I wondered why I could understand every single word of it." 

"She wasn't silent chanting, but more importantly, don't you name your spells off the magic language?" She asked 

"It's a complicated situation." 

Whenever John thought of a spell name, right before he would activate it and say it, the words would automatically come out in a different language. He's tried to figure out why but he's had no luck. 

[Maybe she'd know something about it...] He thought to himself 

But even if she had saved him, it was too soon to trust her. 

The lady then looked over at john again, he couldn't tell what she was thinking, and it slightly bothered him, but he didn't mind since she did save him. 

"Hmm... but anyhow, what does that have to do with you understanding the concept?" She asked 

John wasn't surprised at all that she knew that chant-less magic was based on an understanding of the concept, that was because she had been listening and seeing everything that he's both done and said 

"Everything. After it happened, I started to deepen my understanding of light magic." 

That was because he really wanted to beat his master, although he never got to use it against her. 

"Just like that?" She asked 

"It was surprisingly simple" He replied 

One thing he hadn't this whole time though, was that the light spell he had used, wasn't the same one as eleanor, although he named it the same, it was fundamentally different. 

Back when john first learnt 'Percuro' Or in other words, Heal. He noticed that he could increase, it's strength or the way it worked, by simply changing the formation. For example, if he compressed it and suddenly released it as a burst, it would work like a regular 'Advanced Class: Holy light" 

So john never learnt the holy light spell, he simply used a stronger version of heal. Just simply focusing on four stages of healing and strengthening that process, was an effective way of fighting against the dark element. 

Trying it out in that situation was a risk, but surprisingly enough, it worked. He didn't tell that to serena or Ariel, since they would have kept nagging it him, if they had learnt he took such a stupid risk. 

[Even if it was a bluff, it worked.] He thought to himself 

"That light spell you used, looked like the saint class light spell: Divine Orb. You're telling me, you were able to easily use it because you understood the concept?" She asked 

[There shouldn't be a problem telling her...] 

"haha, is that what it looked like? It was just a compressed version of the same spell" John replied 

[With more magic in it] He thought to himself 

"Ah... I see... Haha... So you really aren't from this world..." She said 

"H-How did you...."
