Physics The Greatest Magic

No one except for the Guild Master who purposely told them it was John who had saved them.

John wasn't at all pleased with it, but it was too late to say anything. The Adventurer's views on John changed immensely. They celebrate, danced, played songs. It was a great sight.

When it came to partying, not many could stand up to adventurers. Many drank all night. Hexo, Satire and The Guild Master got wasted, while John and Shera drank orange juice. 

And lastly, after the party was over, on their way home. John made an announcement to his group. 

"I'm… Going to be leaving. I… Found it." Said John.

"Sure bro."

"…"

Again, he failed to read the mood. But John owed him his thanks.

"Aren't you a fast one." Said Satire

"I mean, I was planning on leaving this place anyways. Traveling is fun and besides… I feel like I'll get to learn lots of things if I Join him." Said Hexo

Satire was dumbfounded, she placed her palm on her face as she couldn't help but smile.

"I'm going to need some time to get things ready, can you give me a week?" She asked

John nodded, and then turned to Shera who was the last one remaining. He knew that the guild Master wouldn't be able to join him, so she was his last bet.

The two stared at each other for what felt like an eternity until Shera suddenly nodded. 

That's right, she just nodded. Nothing more, nothing less. 

And that was how, the founding group of John's kingdom, was formed.

***

"I know we said we decided that we're going to go look for an open spot to start off, but how will we even get theeeEEEREEE!" 

Right before she could finish her sentence, the ground above them raised up in the form of a pillar, pushing them up into the sky. It was so sudden that Satire couldn't help but scream from the surprise.

Shera remained quiet and watched as a chunk of earth detached itself off of the pillar and went right after them.

They quickly began to fall shortly after, and in that moment, the chunk of earth situated itself beneath them, causing them to land butt first on the cold and solid stone ground.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

They all landed on their feet with no issue, all except for Hexo who remained in the air above them, flapping his wings.

"You had wings!?" Satire asked as she watched him flap them around.

"You don't?" Hexo replied with a confused look as he lightly landed

"Of course not!" 

"Haha, I know. I'm joking." Hexo added

"…"

"More importantly…" Hexo muttered as he turned to John. "Where are we going?" 

The chunk of earth which they were on was being propelled forward by a strange force which obviously had to do with John. 

But it just caused them to question they're destination, and how long it would take to reach it. 

"Wait, do you even have a location In mind?" Hexo asked

"…"

There was no reply. Instead John simply stared at him. 

Cold sweat dribbled down Hexo's forehead as he muttered. 

"Y-You're joking, right…?" 

John shook his head in reply.

"Haha… We're lost…" He muttered to himself

"It's fine, there's plenty of spots for us to find here in the Finra continent. That is… If John wants to build it here."

John stared at the clouds for a moment before he turned to Satire.

"Not this continent…"

"Why not?" Satire asked

"I don't want to ruin it."

The moment she heard this, she flinched.

"I-I see… W-Well, There's Gilda-"

"Too corrupted."

"Tempest-"

"Too windy. Uncomfortable for the people…"

"Resta…?"

For a moment there was no reply, but just as she breathed a sigh of relief, John said. 

"There's a bounty…"

"Bounty? You want to go bounty hunting to get some more funds?"

"No, Bounty on me."

"A bounty on you? W-Why- Oh… It's that continent isn't it…"

"Yep, that's the continent where the boss let loose." Said Hexo

"…" John muttered

"O-Oh… W-Well then, the only continents left are the magical continent and Diabla. Looks like we're building a base in the magi-"

"Diabla."

"Say what now?"

"The continent we're going to, is Diabla."

————————————

Inside of a small and dark shop, the young silver haired elf could be seen seated on a table, opposite to a young dark haired women with a red gem on her forehead. 

A crystal ball stood on the table in between them. 

The young dark haired women began moving her hand over the crystal, in the motion of a circle.

The little magic lamp in the room began to lighten up and then dim itself down, repeatedly. Wind began gathering and flowing around the room. A cold sweat could be seen forming on the dark haired womans face.

Her mouth then opened and she began to speak.

"Ah… Yes… I see it… A young man… Long Dark Hair, eyes darker and more hollow than the abyss… He seems to be heading somewhere… Alone…? No, I see another… I hear a name… Di- Diabla? A-And another name…"

*Crack* *Crack*

Cracks began forming on the crystal ball as a dark mist could be seen forming inside of it.

"T-The wandering… Devil-"

*Shatter!*

The crystal ball shattered into tiny pieces, letting out a dark mist.

"Seal!" The dark haired woman shouted

Highlighted runes began glowing on top of the table, before the mist dispersed. 

Serena hadn't said a single word throughout the whole process. She was speechless and didn't want to disturb the young woman's concentration. 

At first she had thought it was another scam or fake psychic. But this girl's powers… They were the real deal. Although it was faint and was just for a moment, just a single moment, she had definitely felt John's presence and something else.

"It's over…" Muttered the psychic as she let out heavy pants.

Blood could be seen flowing down the corner of her lips.

"Thank you." Said Serena as she placed her hand over the Psychic's shoulder. A golden flame passed through the edge of Serena's hand over to the Psychic before enveloping her whole body.

"Hm… This is…"

"Yeah… Sacred Flames, it's good for the body and provides top-notch healing."

"No, I know what it is, I just didn't notice you had it." 

"Yeah, that's pretty much the point." Replied Serena 

"… Thank you…" 

"No, Thank you… If it wasn't for you, I'd have really ended up believing that, that idiot was dead…" Muttered Serena

The psychic looked up at Serena's face and noticed tears swelling up in her eyes. 

"I see… I'm glad I was able to help… I won't ask you what sort of relationship you have with this person, but I must urge you, if you plan on going after whoever this is, be careful. He's… Dangerous, not of this world… And there's something even more dangerous hidden inside of him…" She muttered

Serena wiped away her tears and with a smile said.

"Yep, that's John alright. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Said Serena

The Psychic doubted Serena's words in the beginning, but after looking at the determination in her eyes, she had gained faith. She didn't speak through arrogance but a genuine believe in her abilities.

"Is that so…"

"Mhm, so, I'm guessing I'll have to go to Diabla? The continent? I heard you mention it." Said Serena

"Yeah… That's right. That way, I'm sure you'll find him." Said the Psychic. "He somehow noticed me peeking after all…" She added

"I see… As expected of John…"

The psychic was speechless when she noticed Serena's change in both expression and attitude. When she first walked into the room, all she could feel was a deep sadness coming from her, and yet now… Her air had completely changed.

'It's more lively, just what does it mean to her?' 

———————————

John and Hexo were sitting beside each other on the floating platform heading north east at around 90 Miles per hour. 

No words were being exchanged in the beginning as they were just trying to appreciate the fresh breathe and the natural environment.

They were approaching another village, but planned on passing it without making a stop as they had done for the previous city they had reached.

Behind them was Shera and Satire talking to each other, they seemed pretty excited for the trip, or at least Satire did. Satire was probably the only one who could tell what Shera was thinking.

"Hey, boss. Remember that girl who was with you in the village? The blue grayish hair girl?"

John nodded.

"Did you sort things out with her? Did she not want to come on this trip?" Hexo asked

Upon hearing this, John hung his head and with a slight smile said.

"No, There's someone that needs her more." 

A smile was formed on Hexo's face as he 

"Then who? Before you said you were guilty, so unless that there's someone that can control you…" Hexo muttered

"There was…"

When he heard those words, his eyes widened.

"What…? How?"
