Physics The Greatest Magic

"Oi... What the hell was that...? How the hell did he...? Is he even human?' Laurence wondered nervously 

What shook them all even more was how the young man hadn't moved from his spot. Laurence who was watching kept his eyes focused and opened wide along with the girl yet they didn't find any movement come off from the young man. 

"The leader swung his sword... And right before it hit that... There was a line...? He was cut...? But that doesn't explain how his legs and hands..." 

Laurence's eyes then widened as he seemed to realise something. A faint trace of magic power could be felt right beneath the Leader. It wasn't just any regular trace, he who has lived as a tracker for his whole life could easily make out what it was. 

'I see... I was so distracted by his movement that I failed to recognise something so obvious! The ground... His legs were cut off and frozen into the ground...' 

As he came to this conclusion, a cold sweat began to flow down his forehead as the young man suddenly turned to him. 

He was about to take another step back but before he did, the young man looked back and began walking on his path as if nothing had happened. 

'But still... How fast do you have to be to do that? I didn't even see him chant... Was it just speed?' He wondered 

He watched as the young man continued on his path, without so much as trying to stop him. The member was the first to leave the seen however. 

"M-Monster!!!" He shouted out loud as he ran away in a haste 

Suddenly however, a loud thud could be heard as he dropped to the ground. Confused, both Laurence and the girl turned back only to see that same member who had tried to run, laying on the floor on top of a slowly growing pool of blood. 

Their eyes opened widely as they looked. The girl didn't know what to say, she was scared. She had subconsciously thought of survival now that the leader was dead, but reality had finally sunken in. She could be next. 

As she turned back, she noticed that the young man was nowhere to be seen. She looked around and noticed Laurence standing quite a distance away, just as surprised as she was. 

She quickly got up, her bones still tired and shaking from the experience which they would never forget. She then put up her guard against Laurence, but he completely ignored her. 

His interest was in no way directed at her, in fact, he had even forgotten she was there. 

A wide smile was formed on his face as he muttered. 

"A Devil... He's the devil... Just like the rumours..." 

He looked up and with his excitement boiling as he did so, for the first time in a long time, he felt alive. 

"The wandering devil...So the rumours, they were true..." 

He then clenched his fist and began walking back on the path he had used to catch the girl. As he did, he remembered she was there and stopped. 

He then turned to the girl who was chanting as she pointed her staff towards him. 

"Don't worry, my job is over, we have no reason to fight." Said Laurence 

"Then go away and leave me alone." She coldly replied after completing the hcant 

With the smile still widely displayed on his face and that smile only annoyed her even more. 

"I have a question..." 

"..." 

She didn't reply, she wasn't in the mood to talk and wasn't sure whether or not he was buying time for something. For all she knew, he could still be planning something. 

"Don't worry, I'll ask this and leave right away. Then you can go and do what you were planning on doing, after." Said Laurence 

"Planning...?" She asked 

"Yeah... You're planning on going after him, aren't you? The wandering devil." 

Her eyes widened as she heard this. She quickly took a step back before activating it. 

"Saint-Class-" 

Suddenly, before she could even finish her sentence, The man covered the distance which she had created from the leap in a split second before covering her mouth with his hand. 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." 

She still could have activated the spell, but even after she did, there was no telling if it would be enough to take him down. In fact, that could only make her situation worse. 

"Truce?" He asked 

A cold sweat dropped down her face as she stared straight at Laurence, before giving a small nod. 

She hated him, she really did. But she didn't have time for that at the moment. 

"Good." 

He moved his hand away from her mouth and made sure that she wasn't going to try anything funny before she asked 

"How did you know...?" 

"I saw it." 

"What?" 

"Your face, when you saw the leader get killed right in front of your eyes. Even though your body was shaking in fear, you had a hopeful look on your face." He said 

He then moved himself closer to his face and asked 

"Do you know him?" He asked with the same smile 

Despite it being a smile, his look was much colder than before, it would have been enough to sent chills down her spine if she hadn't experienced being a few feet away from death a while ago. 

"No, I don't." She said as she walked past him 

Laurence didn't try stopping her and just watched as she walked towards the path where the man was walking. 

"No... Huh? Either way, to feel hope from a Devil... She's crazy." 

He then moved his hand closer to his face before muttering. 

"Just like me." 

He then turned back to his path and began walking in a direction which made it very unlikely that he'd encounter neither of them. As he did so, he finally noticed something odd about his surroundings. 

He stopped and looked at the area where half of the dead Leader's body laid.. His eyes opened wide with a hint of fear still tucked within them.
