Physics The Greatest Magic

"How much longer, till we're able to get out?" Asked Lydia 

They had been walking for around 20 minutes since she woke up, and they ended up taking a few turns while doing so. 

"Not much longer, we're nearly there." Said John as he continued focusing his magic on prolonging the tunnel 

Whenever he did, Lydia would look even more surprised than before. It was hard to believe that a child could accomplish something like this. 

What's more is how he didn't look tired at all. 

As they continued to walk, Lydia wondered just how he was making her young brother and sister in law float. She didn't want to come out and ask, but she was curious at the same time. 

"Um, John-" 

Lydia was interrupt by John who suddenly stretched out his arm as he stopped. He looked confused about something, but wasn't saying anything. 

Lydia watched as John moved his head from left to right as if he were searching for something. But they were surrounded by earth so there was no way, she'd be able to understand what it was. 

"Jo-" 

Before she could finish her sentence, the remaining sound which was supposed to come out, suddenly disappeared. 

Surprised, she was about to ask once more, when she finally realised. No sounds were coming out. 

John gestured to her, for her to be quiet before raising his right arm to the dirt ceiling. 

Then, with his left, he quickly gestured her to get closer to him before grabbing on to the two kids who were unconscious. 

Worried that they may have been caught, she did as he said and when she did, John spoke 

"Grab on to me, anywhere, Quick!" 

Hearing this, She quickly grabbed on to his right arm and in that moment she could feel the ground and dirt around her start to shake. 

"Furtim, Levite." 

Something was coming, but right before they could see it a hole big enough to fit the four of them, was opened on the ceiling before they were suddenly propelled straight up and through it. 

[EEEHH!?!] She shouted in her mind as they flew straight upwards. 

All the dirt in the way was rapidly moving to the side before returning back to it's original spot as they passed through, but Lydia was too afraid to notice. 

From her perspective, it looked like they were going hit the rocks head on. 

And before she even realised it, they had left the ground and ended up coming straight out of a grass field. 

As they continued to fly up, she made sure to hold on as hard as she could on to both John's arm and the two kids. 

"W-Waiiiiiit!!" She cried out 

"It'll be fine, just hold on tight." Said John with a smile 

Even though he knew he shouldn't he was still enjoying her reaction. 

She did as he said and tightened her already tight grip around his arm, before he suddenly propelled them forwards. 

As they flew forwards, she looked down at the city from above. 

It was amazing. She could see the people working, the beach, the little remains of the recently conquered Dungeon. 

She was speechless as she stared. John also took this opportunity to get a better view of how the dungeon had ended up. 

There were a few people there but the beach was rather empty. The Dungeon tower was gone and a giant hole remained in the ground, with floors to them. 

These holes were what could be seen whenever the tower was destroyed or a dungeon was completed. 

"You can see everything from here..." She muttered 

As she stared at the houses beneath her, she could feel herself calming down. 

"That's right. This is a great spot to cool off." Said John 

"Yeah... More importantly... If we're up here, won't that just make it easier for them to see us?" She asked 

John who heard this shook his head before saying 

"No, I put a spell on us, we can't be seen or heard, don't worry." Said John as they continued to fly forwards 

They weren't going any lower or higher, and seemed to be around 500 feet in the air judging from John's perspective. 

But Lydia had no idea where they were going 

"It should be around here somewhere..." John muttered 

"What should?" Lydia asked 

"The ball, duke is holding one and my parties waiting for me. It's probably been about 3 hours since I left them... Luckily the sun is still up." 

"3 Hours...? Ball...? I just realised that you haven't explained anything yet..." 

"I'll explain it later, for now, you have two options or three, I'm not sure." 

Confused, Lydia nodded, while also keeping in mind that they were still in the air. She didn't lighten her grip for a single second. 

"What are they?" 

She already knew what it was going to be without asking, She believed that John would probably deem them as people too dangerous to be around, so he'd leave them off somewhere safe or something before leaving. 

"Option 1, I can leave you anywhere you'd like and you can use whatever sort of plan you've been using to stay away from those guys." 

Hearing this, she felt her heart drop. She was right, there was no way he'd want to help them. No one took the adventurer guild request either. It was a miracle that they were even still alive in the first place. 

"Option 2, you can tell me why they're after you so badly and I'll see if I can find someone to stay here with you and help you." 

"Eh?" 

"Option 3... Is like option 2, but what'll happen instead will be me being the one doing the helping." 

"Huh?" 

"But if you do choose option 3, then you're going to have to go back with me to the Magic Academy only then will I be able to help" 

"Wait, hold on, you're going to fast, what?" 

"What I'm trying to say is.... I'll employ you as my personal maid" Said John with a smile
