Physics The Greatest Magic

"This guy... Can he make up his mind?!" Serena asked 

"C-Calm down, Serena. He can't help it." Said Lydia 

"I know but still..." 

"Ariel... Be ready... If whatever did this to John comes back for him, things may end up bad..." Said Serena before she grabbed her wand. A small glow could be seen in her eyes as she did so. 

"I know..." Replied Ariel as she grabbed onto her dark rapier. 

For a moment, Just a moment, the air around the two changed as Ariel did so, it felt darker. 

Serena's eyes widened before quickly turning to Ariel, because of that. And when she did, she noticed a dark and hallow look in Ariel's eyes as she held on to her wand. 

The look disappeared as Ariel noticed Serena staring at her. 

"Serena? Is something wrong?" Ariel asked nervously before looking around. 

The dark air was gone and Ariel genuinely seemed confused. 

"N-Nothing..." 

[There's no way I imagined that... Right...?] Serena thought to herself 

She glanced over at Ariel, and watched her slowly move John's unconscious body to a more comfortable position. Despite that, Serena couldn't get the feeling that she had felt out of her chest. 

"Please tell me that John's the only one I should be worried about right now..." Serena muttered 

"What happened?" Lydia asked as she climbed on to the back of the carriage after stopping the horses 

"He's unconscious." Said Master Sylvia as she remained in her seat. 

Serena followed Ariel with Lydia quickly went to check on John with Ariel whilst Master Sylvia remained seated without moving. 

[Why aren't you checking up on him? Isn't he your disciple?] 

Serena then grit her teeth before crouching down besides John and closing her eyes. She held back the urge to shout it out loud so she just said it calmly inside of her head, hoping that she'd reach an answer. 

[What's wrong with everyone...?] Serena thought to herself 

Ariel who noticed that Serena had been acting Strangely, quickly asked 

"Serena? Is something wrong?" 

Serena slowly looked towards Ariel before shaking her head. 

"Nothing... Nothing at all..." Serena muttered 

She didn't know how to tell it to Ariel, she didn't know what to do or who to ask for help. No one but herself. 

She felt the same exact feeling she had hated from the moment she first tasted it. Helplessness. 

It was obvious that there was something wrong with Master Sylvia's recent attitude towards things, and there was also something going on with Ariel. She just didn't know how to go about things. 

[Why is that idiot always gone in times like this...?] Serena wondered 

Just as she did so, her eyes widened before she also simultaneously raised both hands. Ariel who noticed this, watched as Serena slammed both hands on the side of her face, causing a loud clap sound to be heard from within the carriage. 

Lydia who hadn't expected it, was surprised by Serena's sudden action while Ariel just quietly stared without saying anything. 

Ariel then slowly raised her hands before imitating Serena and John's action. 

*CLAP!* 

Lydia didn't know what to say, she was not only confused but slightly afraid at the two girls who had burning red cheeks. 

[S-Should I imitate them...? What's happening here?] Lydia thought to herself as she stared at the two. 

"It happened again... No more..." Serena muttered as a small golden flame was formed over her right arm. 

Serena moved her arm over John's face before the golden fire slowly enveloped John's head. No burns could be seen as the fire spread from his head to the rest of his body. 

Meanwhile, Ariel watched closely and quietly as the look in John's face turned into a more relaxed one. 

Serena then slowly moved her hand away from John's face as she let out a deep breath. The golden flames continued to rampage throughout John's body. 

Lydia was speechless. The flames weren't burning him and seemed to be making him feel more comfortable. On top of that, it gave off an attracting like which made one want to touch it. 

"I've never seen a spell like this before..." muttered Lydia in amazement 

Ariel too was surprised, she had no idea that Serena could use the holy element, much less this well. It was an unexpected discovery. 

"Light, huh... I'm envious." Ariel whispered. 

"Huh?" Serena asked as she turned to Ariel 

"Eh? What?" Ariel asked surprised 

[Envious...?] Serena thought to herself 

"What did you just say?" Serena asked 

"When?" 

"Just now." 

"Now...? Wait, what did I-" 

Ariel was interrupted by Master Sylvia who said 

"Let's go, we don't have much time to waste." 

--------------------------- 

John's eyes slowly opened before he gave a quick look around. He then got up as he let out a short sigh. 

It was a room he was familiar with, a large cubic room with nothing to be seen aside from coloured walls in sight. 

"I'm back here... Again... Damn it, another feeling of deja-vu." John muttered 

"Deja-vu?" Said the voice which came from his left. 

John turned his head towards the direction of the voice before making a displeased and unhappy face. 

It was the spirit, the same one which had caused him all of those problems. 

"It's a feeling you get when you experience something that's never happened before, but you feel like you have." Said John as he sat back down on the ground 

John stood on the light side of the room while the spirit stood on the dark. If not for the light which came from the right side, John wouldn't be able to see him. 

"I see..." The spirit muttered 

"When was the last time we had a talk?" John asked 

A smile was formed on the spirits face as he said 

"I don't know, but it was recent." 

"And how do you know that?" John asked 

"Because I reside here. I'll know if I have visitors." 

"Visitors...? There aren't any more strange beings coming into my consciousness now, is there?" 

"There was one... The one that did this to you." Said the spirit 

John slowly turned his head towards the spirit before he quietly muttered the words 

"What....?"
