Physics The Greatest Magic

"Um... excuse me, I think something's wrong on my side." John casually said while interrupting her in the process.

The attention of the 9 who were standing up, including the lady, turned to him.

"Y-You... you can't feel it?" She asked.

John cast deprehendre and let his mana perception take over his instincts. Now that she had mentioned it, John could feel a large amount of magic power emanating from her, really large.

'… I knew I should have acted like I was struggling...' John thought to himself.

"Ah... I'm feeling it now..." He muttered.

John doubted this would work against her, but there was nothing wrong with trying.

"It's too late for that now, what's your name," She said with a cold tone behind her.

The whole crowd's attention had been turned to John.

"U-Um, It's been 5 seconds..." said one of the guys on their knees

"Did I give you permission to speak?"

The instant she had said that, light particles covered John's body, and he was teleported. At the same time another 2 were teleported and everyone's struggles seem to have grown stronger.

John took that opportunity to act like it was starting to affect him too.

John started to pant as sweat flowed down his face as his feet trembled. The reason for that was because he had turned off body reinforcement and cast 5x gravity on himself.

This seemed like it would be a good way to train to John.

Nonetheless, it seemed like John was deeply struggling, so much that it didn't feel possible to fake.

"What's your name?!" She asked, ignoring John's display of struggle in front of her.

"J-John! Ma'am!" John shouted as he bowed his head.

The pressure of the gravity and not being able to reinforce his body was starting to get to John, it hasn't even been a minute and his legs felt numb.

John had been doing a 10km run every day, but it didn't look like it'll be enough.

"You may all rest." She said after hearing his name.

The moment she did, a relieved look was formed on everyone's face as they sat down on the ground. Including victor, they all needed to take a breather.

John quickly did the same and deactivated gravitas. He dropped to the ground with sweat all over his shirt.

The lady looked at John and then walked in between the two groups.

"You may now fight your group. The rules are simple, attack only the ones in your group, last one standing wins. Furthermore, those who have managed to stay on their feet will already be given the reward of going to the B Class. Are there any questions?" She asked.

"Will there be separate rewards for the number of badges an individual has collected?" Victor asked.

"I was about to get to that. The number of badges you have now is the final count, the top 5 highest will be taken to the alpha class."

'Top 5 highest... That would mean, it would be Victor with 14, then the black-haired kid with 14, then Serena with 13, then me with 12 and lastly, Ariel with 9.' John calculated.

"As for the ones who stayed conscious, you will be directed to C class and the top 5 who survive in your group, you will go to B-Class, and anyone who had a badge count over 5 will be allowed to B class. You may now begin." She explained.

Not even a second after she had finished, the guys in the other group had already started to fight.

John's group, however,

"I'm too tired to fight, it's been a long day, B-Class is good enough for me," Said the purple-haired girl.

"Very well, is there anyone else who also wishes to resign in this group?"

"Even I don't want to be beaten brutally by a girl in front of everyone, I'm also good with B," Said the spiky-haired guy as he raised his hand.

"I'm good, I'd rather not waste energy fighting her" Said the red fire mage girl as she pointed at the blue-haired water mage girl.

"Me too, it's been a long day, and I can't stand being in the same room as her for any longer," Retorted the blue-haired water mage girl..

"..." Without saying anything the green-haired boy raised his hand.

"Mhm, it's been a long day, bye bye, John" Said Elora with a smile as she raised her hand.

"Hm? Who is that John?" Asked Serena.

"I don't recall us meeting her before..." Muttered Ariel.

"Oh, we made a temporary truce, earlier," John replied.

"Hmm, is that so..." Said Serena as she stared straight at him.

"Yes, that is so. More importantly, are you two staying or resigning? There's no need to fight here, you're already going to the alpha," John said.

"Well, I was planning on getting revenge against someone, but at my current level, I doubt I'd do much... So I'm also done for today, my last attack used up too much magic." Said Serena as she raised her hand.

"Then I'll resign too. Besides, I'll only end up slowing you down if I'm alone," Said Ariel with a saddened smile as she raised her hand.

John wanted to say 'that's not true' but he couldn't. These guys were simply that strong, not something one could beat with the basics of non chant elemental wind or fire magic that they know. John could tell from their badge count, and also from fighting one of them.

"So is this everyone that's staying?" Asked the lady.

"..." The cyan haired girl quietly raised her hand as she looked at John. Her expression was neutral and unchanging, it almost appeared emotionless. John couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Okay, well then, I look forward to teaching you all." Said the lady as light particles covered their bodies.

"You better win, John!" Said Serena.

"I believe in you!" Said Ariel.

"Of course!" John replied.

Just like that, they were all teleported. The ones who remained were John, the black-haired kid and Victor.

'Win... Haha, in these conditions? That's going to be hard. But I won't take this half-heartedly, that's for sure..' John determined.
