Physics The Greatest Magic 65 Chaper 12: Asteria

"John, is everything alright?" Asked Ariel once she noticed that i was staring at the small crater formed by my Black hole

"Everything's fine, let's head back eleanor" I replied

Ariel didn't seem convinced but she nodded

After that, we walked back to the ice sphere i had formed. It took a while to get there because i was out of magic, In fact i couldn't even use deprehendre... Is this an after effect from the possession..?

She seemed to be able to use chants, could she teach me them too..? But i don't really want to have to chant, i Like having something unique like chant-less magic... Maybe even i can make a black hole...

"John, why are you just staring at your hand? Let's go" Said Serena

"Y-Yeah"

Moreover where did she find enough magic power to do that... The amount of pressure required... Unless she used her own magic power..? But she's in my body... How would she...

Argh! I'm confused. There's no point in asking so many questions about it.

More importantly, This sensation, My heart can't calm down... The strange feeling in my stomach...

"I'm getting excited..." I said with a weird grin on my face

Ariel and Serena who happened to hear and notice me at that moment, both got startled and slightly scared.

Man, I can't believe I lost, I thought I would be unmatched for a long while after reaching the 15th floor, But I found someone that actually managed to beat me...

"Looks like I'm about to encounter even stronger people... I can't wait!" I said to myself

"Hey, Ariel, Don't you think john is a battle junkie?" Serena whispered to Ariel

"Eh?"

Ariel looked over at the weird expressions of excitement I was making and looked back over at Serena

"Yes..." She said with a saddened tone

"What are those two whispering about?" I muttered

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

"John! Serena! Ariel! You're all back!" Said Eleanor Joyfully as she grabbed on to my hands

"Yeah, told you I'd be back." I replied

"Says the guy who got caught in the enemies trap 10 seconds into the fight" interrupted Serena

"Can't argue with that." I replied

"Hm? Shouldn't this be the part where you disagree with me?" Asked Serena

"I guess some people just change" I replied with a bright smile on my face

"Ariel! Something's wrong with john!"

"Eh?!" Said Ariel with a panicked expression

"Serena, please, you're embarrassing me, it's obvious that I'm~ O~Kay~ Right~?" I said with a smile as I made weird poses

Ariel's eyes lost life and it seemed like her soul was slipping away

"Eh? Ariel i was joking, Come back, Don't leave us!!"

"You're creeping me out..." Muttered Serena as she stared at me

"Serena, please don't stare at me like i'm some sort of creep, It was just a joke" I hastily said

"Pfff, hahah Ah, sorry, it's just, it feels like you three really enjoy spending time with each other" Said Eleanor as she bowed

"That's right!" Said Ariel with a proud expression

Looks like she completely recovered

"Yeah! I really enjoy it, despite how they look they're really strong and have saved me countless times" I said as i placed my arm on serena and Ariel's shoulder

They were startled by it, but didn't seem bothered

"As weird as he can be, He's pretty fun to be around" Said Serena

"Serena, T-Thank you..." I said as tears streamed down my face

"Why are you crying?!" Asked Serena with an annoyed expression

"I'm envious..." Muttered Eleanor,

***

Thanks to my act, the tension from the fight had slightly disappeared. It's been 30 minutes since then, we've checked the carriage and the horses, there was nothing wrong with them. Alfred seemed better but was still asleep, and now we're about to continue the journey

"Is everyone ready?" Asked Serena

"Yeah, let's go" I replied

"Okay" She said

The horses began moving and our travel continued

"I'll be back, i'm going to go ask Eleanor more about where we are and where we're going" I said to Serena

"You don't have to tell me..." She replied

"Y-Yeah..."

I moved to the back of the carriage while it was still moving and sat on one of the seats next to eleanor

"Hm, John? What's wrong? Serena will be lonely" Said, Ariel.

She won't, Besides it's just for a few seconds, And i need to ask something

"It's fine, I just needed to ask Eleanor something, Where are we and Where are we going?"

Eleanor made a surprised expression at my question. Looks like Ariel never asked her

"I thought for sure, you three knew. I mean, it's pretty hard not to..." Said Eleanor

"We've been through a lot, and i'm sure it's a little hard to believe, but we really have no clue where we are" I replied

"No, no, I believe you, I was just surprised, sorry."

"It's fine, and thanks."

"We're in the magic continent, one of the 6 continents, It's called Asteria."

Asteria..? Oi... Are you kidding me? We were sent to another continent?!
