Physics The Greatest Magic

"A few questions?" The man asked as he gulped down the little saliva, he had in his mouth 

"Yeah..." John muttered 

"I-I don't know anything! P-Please, T-Trust me!" Said the man with a face of terror 

"Is that so..." 

*Crack* 

"ARRGHHH!!!" 

*** 

John left the alleyway without looking back, he had gotten all the information that he needed and didn't feel an ounce of happiness from it. 

He had spent the entire week which had passed searching everywhere around the city and around a kilometre outside of the city. Covering every ounce which he could. 

He tried tracking, and even asked Master Sylvia for help. But they had come out empty handed. 

After 5 days John started questioning if Serena was still alive, or if they had experimented or tortured her for information. 

Whenever these thoughts would come up, he could feel the darkness inside him increasing. Waiting to take over at any time. 

And on the 7th day which was today, he woke up with an empty and hollow feeling on his chest. 

"So you're telling me... After all of that searching... Day and night... She was right here under my nose?" 

John slammed his right arm into the wall of the building next to him, leaving a big crack in the process. 

The face of anger in his face turned into an evil grin as he muttered. 

"Now I found you..." 

----------------------------- 

The sound of footsteps resounded inside of a dimly lit dark hall. 

Anyone who heard it could tell who the source belonged to. Calm steps which resounded through the hall, despite the shoes having been ever so small. 

As the boy stopped in front of the room to the left, he knocked on the door a few times before opening it. 

As he did, he slightly closed his eyes due to the sudden light which emerged. 

Once he was inside of the room, a cloaked man who seemed to be inspected the source of the light, suddenly turned around before heading towards the young boy 

"Welcome back sir! I bear good news today!" He said as he suddenly bowed 

He removed the hoodie of his cloak, showing an old looking bald man with a gray beard and strange eyes. One of his eyes seemed to be prosthetic while the other was normal. 

The young boy, looked up at the man with a look that showed that he was waiting for the news. 

"R-Right, come look at this." Said the man as he walked towards the source of the light. 

The young boy followed behind before looking at it. The more he looked at it, the more he struggled to comprehend how such a thing was possible. 

"What exactly am I supposed to be looking at?" The boy asked 

A large yellow crystal, with a girl frozen inside. Her eyes closed and she seemed to be hibernating in a way. Her wounds were closed, but anyone would die if they weren't able to breathe. However, the two could still feel her life force from inside of it. 

"R-Right, look closely at it... My first thought was breaking the crystal and getting her out of it, but..." 

"But?" The boy asked 

"It's unbreakable... It's hard, magic won't have any effect on it, and I do not have any tools which can generate enough pressure to crack it..." 

"Hm...?" 

The boy raised his hand forming a thin dark needle above it, before spinning it and slamming it straight down on the light crystal 

The man wanted to stop him, but he thought it'd be best to let him experience it. 

As the dark needle hit the crystal, he observed something which caused his eyes to widen. The needle as disappeared, or more precisely, it was pushed inside of the light crystal. 

"It was absorbed?" 

But despite being absorbed, no harm came to the girl inside, and he couldn't even see the needle. 

"How interesting. So what's the good news?" The boy asked 

He was now more interested than before, and it was easy to tell just by looking. 

"Of course! Right away sir!" Said the man before heading over to a drawer on the far end of the room. 

The boy waited and watched as he scrummaged through his things before eventually getting a glowing red crystal. 

Once he got the crystal, the man quickly ran up back to the boy before saying 

"Amazing isn't it...? This is a soul crystal... Now not much has been discovered about this, but they contain high amounts of condensed magic power. Just one of these can fuel an attack strong enough to wipe out an entire city..." Said the man 

"Yes, I know. I own one." Replied the boy uninterested 

"Yes, but... If you take a closer look at her in her current state and the crystal, don't you also see it?" The man asked. 

The boy looked over at the girl submerged inside of the large crystal, before looking over at the red crystal which was the size of the man's arm. 

"For decades... No, centuries even, i've struggled to figure out, how dungeons turn monsters into magic stones and even create them... Creating a magic stone is unheard of... But what if..." 

The boy now realising the true importance and weight of the discovery formed a smile on his face as he said 

"What if we could turn people into magic stones, right?" The boy asked 

The scientist with a pleased smile, quickly said. 

"That's right, just imagine with all these people and all that power... we could rule the wor-" 

*Boom* 

It was small but the sound of an explosion could be heard not too far away from the room. 

Following that, the room began shaking, as if there was some sort of earth quake nearby 

"What is that?" The man asked 

"Cover your face with your cloak. I'll be back." Said the boy before vanishing. 

----------------------- 

Inside of a giant hall, with tables and drinks everywhere around. People wearing cloaks could be seen drinking. 

Some were talking amongst each other in their tables, while others just stood there quietly. 

Suddenly, the tables and drinks began vibrating as they could feel something approaching. 

There were around 30 of them, and they all quickly got on their guards, as they looked around. 

*Boom* 

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, someone came from down from the ceiling, slamming the guy beneath him straight on to the ground. 

Everyone stood their speechlessly as the boy with spiky long hair, released a killer amount of bloodlust. 

His eyes were calm yet hollow, he almost gave off the same vibe as their boss. 

As he continued to stand on the guy who had most likely broken his head and arms, John looked around before drawing out his daggers. 

"modero." 

-------------------- 

*Crack* 

The glass cup filled to the brim with wine which the man was drinking end up falling straight on to the floor before cracking 

"Argh... Who the hell is causing all of this vibration!?" Asked the short red-haired man as he slammed his hand on to the table 

"l-let's go, I detected a strange movement on the earth around the base, on top of that, my plants have been complaining about an approaching danger." Said the brown-haired boy 

"AND YOU ONLY CHOOSE NOW TO TELL US?!" The red-haired man shouted 

The brown-haired boy nearly sprung back in fear when the girl sitting on the chair playing with her doll on the other side of the room, turned before saying 

"No shouting!" 

Seeing this, the brown-haired boy, felt his self-esteem drop even more. A girl was less afraid than him. 

" 

*Boom* 

A sound resounded through the building as something appeared to crash into it. 

Hearing this, all three firmly stood up, including the fourth which was a man with short purple hair and a pony tailed tied up in the back. 

They were missing 1 more, but didn't have time to wait for him. 

"We're under attack, let's go kick this person's ass" 

-------------------- 

"AGHH!" 

"ARGHH!!" 

"SOMEBODY ST-" 

Before the man could finish, his head was swallmed straight on to the wall, cracking the back of his skull in the process. 

John let go of him and he instantly fell on to the ground. 

He looked around the room and there still remained one more person who was trembling on the floor, they looked terrified out of their lives. 

John saw that the boy was about to throw a pill into his mouth, and in that moment, John appeared in front of him before he grabbed on to it, before breaking it and throwing it away. 

"Who said that you could die?" John asked as he grabbed on to the hoodies collar. 

"W-Wait... WAAIT!!" 

---------------- 

Footsteps resounded through the halls of this underground lair, despite sounding similar to the young boy's it wasn't his. 

This one belonged to John. The footsteps stopped as John stood in front of a giant door which let to the other hall he aimed to go to. 

But there was a group standing in front of that door, one stopping him from being able to accomplish his objective. 

It was a group containing four individuals he had never met before. 

But just by looking he could tell that they were strong.
