Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 113 - Darkness In The Light

"H-How did you know?" John asked 

"So it's true... And are you really asking me that right now? Especially when you enthusiastically shouted out in the middle of the city 'THIS IS ANOTHER WORLD!'" She said 

John was speechless, not because she found out, but because of the way she found out. 

"W-Well, It's part of life." Said John 

"There are many questions, I'd like to ask, but I'm afraid, we don't have much time..." 

After she said that, John looked towards the other side of the room, quarter of it, was clouded in darkness, he had no intention to approach it. 

[Since this is inside of my mind, that must mean that there's darkness in me... Not that I mind, if it makes me stronger.] 

The lady then looked at the light ceiling, confused, John looked as well, but it was just a regular ceiling. 

"Wasn't there something you were going to tell me?" John asked 

"Hmm... It's still too soon" 

[Seriously...] John thought to himself 

"Hm, before I go, I want to ask you something." Said John 

It was something that was really bugging him, was it at the same time, he entered the original owner of this body? Was it before that? And did she know that he wasn't the original owner? No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember if he had mentioned it out loud. And he was praying that he didn't 

"Go on" She said 

"How and when did you enter my body?" 

"Hmm, I don't remember, but when I came to it, you were collapsed on the ground, and I was trapped inside of here, so I thought I should at least wake you up." 

John then realised, the voice he heard back then, it was hers. Seeing this, he felt rather grateful. That voice back then, which told him to wake up, made him feel like he was always being watched over and protected. 

"I see... Thanks, Zestari" Said John with a smile 

He wasn't sure whether or not she was telling the truth, no to mention, how obvious it was that it was that she was hiding many things. But he still had to thank her for saving him and his friends. 

"So you remembered..." She said with a chuckle before waving 

She then muttered a few other words, but john couldn't hear them. He could only hope to understand by reading her lips 

--------------------------------------------- 

As john opened his eyes he quickly looked around. he found himself on the ground, leaning on a stone wall with a warm, soft sensation on both sides of his shoulder. It was serena and Ariel both asleep. With a blanket wrapped around the three of them, they leaned on john. 

He was still inside of the cave, with a blizzard outside, but john didn't feel cold at all. Not just because of their body temperature, but because he always had thermal energy active around him, even when he slept. 

He could also use it as an air conditioner, he believed that it was one of his most useful abilities. But because he was like a walking heater and cooler, Serena and Ariel, would stay near him on travels around too cold or too warm areas. 

Master seemed fine in any environment. She was never picky about anything either. He wanted her to act more feminine and show more emotion. 

[At this rate, master will die lonely...] He thought to himself 

He also hadn't beaten her, so he still didn't know her name... He genuinely believed that she was a difficult person to handle. Once she made her mind up, there was no stopping her. 

After he thought of all that, John looked over at Ariel. He was trying to distract himself by thinking of other things, but it wasn't working. 

[Ariel, said she liked me, didn't she...?] 

Although he still couldn't be certain, whether or not it was a romantic like. Now that he had heard her feelings, it made him even more conscious of her. 

She looked relieved, and was even drooling a bit. Seeing this john couldn't help but smile. 

"Cute..." He muttered 

He then tried to picture him and Ariel together, they would go out on dates, and then kiss, and have fun on adventures. 

[T-That, wouldn't be bad at all...] He thought to himself as his cheeks turned a bit red 

John slowly moved his hand, while making sure not to wake her up, and placed her hair over her ear, when all of the sudden 

"John" Said master 

"Y-Yes!?" Said John who quickly reverted his hand and nearly had a heart attack 

"We're going hunting" She said 

John wanted to know if she saw everything, and how long she'd been standing there, but decided not to, since she herself didn't mention it. Every once in a while, master would just conceal her presence. 

"Understood" Said John 

He slowly got up, while making Serena and Ariel lean on each other, he also made sure that the blanket was properly on them, and at the same time, he slightly warmed up the cave. 

There was originally a fire, in the middle, and we were pretty close to it when we woke up, but it's more efficient to increase the amount of thermal energy in the air. 

"I'll keep watch" Said Master's brother 

"Thank you, uh..." 

"Zac" He said 

John was surprised, he expected his name to be something more intimidating. 

"Alright, thanks zac" Said John 

"Yeah, no problem" Said Zac 

Right before he left, he looked over at serena and smiled 

"If only she could look that innocent, and at peace, when she was awake, being annoyed too often isn't good for your health, You also look a lot cuter like that" John openly admitted 

*** 

As john and master ran through the snow-covered trees, John detected his prey with deprehendre. Meanwhile, master shadow stepped towards hers 

Without wasting any time, john cast velox and propelled himself through the trees, straight towards his prey. 

It was a snow white rabbit, without wasting any time, midair, he muttered 

"Ventus iaculat" Translation: Wind Shot 

A small ball of air with a sharp edge, was formed and propelled, straight at the rabbit. 

The rabbit noticed, that something was off and tried to jump away, but it wasn't fast enough. In a swift motion. It was pierced in right in the head, and fell over. 

"Sorry, little guy..." Muttered John as he picked it up 

John would rather hunt more carnivorous preys, rather than these little guys who are trying their hardest to survive in this cold, but he had no choice. It was part of the cycle of life. 

Shortly after, master appeared out of nowhere as usual. She was carrying 3 more rabbits, and they had all been skewered in the same point. 

[Looks like she also ended it in one hit, but three... As expected from master] John thought to himself 

"Prepare yourself, we're sparing after we've eaten." She said before walking on the path which led back on the cave 

John couldn't have been gladder. 

"Understood" He said while hiding his excitement
