Physics The Greatest Magic 117 The Boss

"I'm not sure, she looked like she had a fever and suddenly collapsed" Said john 

After hearing that, Ariel examined Serena. Ariel was surprisingly good at these things, so john knew he could count on her, nonetheless he was still worried. 

What if it was something serious? What if she could die? 

With his worry being displayed on his face, Serena suddenly muttered "I'll be fine... It's just a cold" with a smile 

"We can't be too sure, but it's most likely a cold." Said Ariel 

"That's good..." John muttered 

[I didn't know cold's in this world gave killer fevers, enough to knock out even this elf] Thought john 

"Hey, did you... talk to serena?" Ariel asked as she stared straight at him 

"Y-Yeah" Replied John with a nervous smile 

The only thing he could remember, was the kiss they nearly had. Because of it, for a moment, john's attention was on Ariel's lips 

"AHH! It's puberty! It has to be!" John suddenly shouted once he snapped back into reality 

"J-John?!" 

Ariel was surprised by john's sudden action. 

"Nothing, let's just forget everything I said." Said John acting as if nothing had just happened 

"You're acting really weird right now!" Said Ariel as she placed a slightly wet towel on serena's forehead as she laid on the mat 

"I thought I always acted weird?" Said John with a confused expression 

"Pfft" 

Suddenly the two started laughing, they had a good chuckle for a while, before john suddenly said. 

"You see, she apologised... When she didn't do anything wrong. She's hard to understand at times, and is rarely honest, but she's still a close friend, and I wouldn't get mad at her over something like that" Said John as he got up 

"Where are you going?" Ariel asked 

"I have to do something; I'll be back soon. Can you tell Serena, what I said when she wakes up?" John asked 

Ariel quickly shook her head before saying "You're the one that's supposed to tell her... If I were in her situation, I'd rather hear it from you..." Ariel muttered 

John had told serena in a different way, but he was worried that she might have forgotten it or not have heard it because of the fever, hell, he was hoping that she could forget the kiss scene too if it happened, but at the same time, he hoped that she wouldn't. 

"You're right... I need to be the one that tells her." Said john before he turned towards the exit 

Suddenly, serena's hand grabbed on to the sleeve on his pants. With hope. He turned to see if she had woken but she was still asleep, and it looked like she was in a lot of pain. 

Shortly after, master came back. But she didn't bring any medicine. 

"We didn't bring any." Said master 

John who heard this, slowly moved serena's hand from his pant 

"Where are you going?" 

"To get medicine." John replied 

"Stay here with her, I'll go get it" Said master 

"No, it's fine. Besides, I already know where to find it." Said John 

The moment he said that, he activated posession, and disappeared as he left a trace of darkness behind 

"..." 

Master went over to the wall and leaned on it, while keeping an eye on Serena and Ariel. Ariel grabbed on to serena's hand and stayed beside her. 

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

"T-That kid was crazy..." Said one of the four guys john had met earlier 

"I knew it was a bad plan... Why would you mention slavery in that situation?" 

"Boss is going to kill us..." 

"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP?!" The guy who john had trapped in dark ice shouted 

Everyone stopped talking 

"It'll be fine... We'll get boss to deal with them. There's no one that can beat boss." 

The man who john had frozen, seemed to have been the leader of the group that found the ice cube. And judging by what they were saying, there was a stronger guy in power. 

The group ran through the trees, and got closer and closer to their hideout. Eventually they reached it. 

Small old ruins with stones piled up around the area. The group was stopped by another bandit which was guarding the entrance 

"The fall of one leads to the rise of another. I have news for the boss" 

After saying those words, the bandit guard stepped aside and let them in. There were other bandits in the area, around 30. 

They seemed to be having fun as chugged down beer and stood by their tables, as they counted the number of slaves in their posession 

"We got a big catch today, A cat family, mother and daughter!" Shouted one of the barbaric bandits 

"OHHH!" The other bandits cheered as they raised their cup 

"LET'S HAVE SOME FUN WITH THEM LATER!" 

"HELL YEAH!!!" 

There were 3 cages, each had 3 to 5 slaves in them, they were mostly composed of demi-humans but there were a few humans around. Their ages looked to be around 12-16, it was truly a saddening sight to see. 

They all wore chains around their neck and had their bodies covered with ragged clothes. It was freezing cold as they were in the middle of a blizzard, and yet they were given such little clothing. 

some looked like they had only recently arrived there while others looked like they had been there for a while. But they all had two things in common, they were female and they all had the look of despair in their eyes. 

"Hey make one of them dance!" 

"Yeah make em dance!" 

The slaves were all trembling in cold and fear, they were too afraid to dance. Seeing this, one of the bandits, tall and with a big buff frame, slammed his hand on to the cage where there was a cat girl as he asked 

"Didn't you hear them!? They said DANCE!!" He shouted 

The girls were shaking, they wanted to move, but were too scared to 

"careful, they might piss themselves" 

"Haha, that would be a sight to see" 

The four guys who were originally supposed to report to their boss, got sidetracked and cheered as they watched the show the slaves were being put to do. 

"I'll go join in for a drink" Said one of the 3 others in his group 

"That's right, you're the leader, you should report to boss" Said Another 

"I agree with them" Said the third member 

After saying that they left 

"H-Huh?! You're running away?! Cowards!" 

But they had a point so he couldn't stop them. With a frightened look on his face, he walked up to the tent where the boss resided 

The tent had two guards in front guarding the entrance. After he said the code and showed the guards that he had a report to make, they allowed him into the tent. 

As he walked inside, he saw the boss sat on his usually chair and bowed to greet him. Next to his boss was a strange girl, he didn't remember seeing her here yesterday, and she wore a chain around her neck, but despite that, she was wearing rather delicate clothes 

There was no mistaking that she was a slave, So he became even more confused as to why boss would give special treatment, and that was when he noticed her ears, she was an elf. 

"So? Back so soon after I sent you scouting?" The boss asked 

The boss was a middle aged man with a big bulky frame. He carried a longsword on his waist, and had a scar on his nose. He emanated a strange overwhelming pressure, and had long gray hair 

"Y-Yes..." Said the guy as he kept looking over at the elf 

The more he stared the more he became fascinated by her beauty. Long pale silky green hair with strong green eyes. Perfect proportions and great looks. He could see why the boss kept her by his side. 

But her beauty was being ruined by the saddened expression formed on her face. Her age looked no older than 16 

The boss noticing that his subordinate was looking closely at his slave, decided to ask 

"Are you Curious?" As he placed he placed he rubbed his hands on her cheek 

The girl was shaking, but didn't say anything, you could even see her start to slowly tear up. 

The man who was supposed to make a report, slowly nodded as he gulped down his saliva. Worried that he would be punished in some way. 

"Well you see, The guys found her today, alone in the middle of the blizzard. She carried a bow and managed to kill 2 of our guys... It was quite hard catching her, but definitely worth it. A pure elf... They go for hundreds of gold coins as slaves... Not to mention she's still a virgin, but you know, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to endure... It should be fine if I make her my plaything before selling her, right?" 

"B-Boss... Surely you're joking right? Remember what happened to the last one?" Asked the man 

"Hha, yes, she ended up dying... Don't worry, I haven't layed my hands on her yet... For now... So? What was the report you wanted to talk?" 

"Right away, during out scout, we encountered- 

The man was interrupted by a boy who suddenly walked in 

"There's no need." Said the boy 

His eyes were clouded in darkness, and there was only one word which could be associated with him, Rage.
