Physics The Greatest Magic

Since they had no idea where her father was, and the person who was supposed to tell them, ended up falling into a deep sleep, they decided to look for a pharmacy or hospital as they admired the city.

"Hey, John look! They're using wind magic to dry their clothes." Said Ariel excitedly.

There were people casting wind spells and drying their clothes near what seemed to be their houses.

It looked like she was still hyped about coming.

"Just like mine, no wait, mine gathers the water itself so..." John thought.

"John's way is unique." Said Ariel.

"Thanks, a good unique or..." John said.

"Obviously an abnorm- a good unique." Said Serena as she joined in.

"Than- Oi, what was that?" He asked.

"That your way of drying clothes is a good unique?" Said Serena.

'Nope, you were definitely trying to say something else.' John thought.

"Anyway, any clues as to where the pharmacy might be?" Serena asked.

'Changing the topic... Is this revenge for earlier?' John thought.

"Why don't we just ask?" He asked.

Suddenly everyone looked at him with a surprised expression.

"What?" John asked.

"I'm surprised I didn't think of that..." Muttered Serena.

"Yeah..." Said Ariel.

"Excuse me, do you know where the nearest pharmacy is?" John asked a random person who walked by.

"Pharmacy... If you follow the path, you'll see a shop with the sign of herbs, that will be what you are looking for. They also have a doctor there."

"I see, thank you." John said.

As the man was about to leave John stopped him and handed him 5 silver coins.

"A-Are you sure?" He asked as he looked over at the coins.

"Of course, information is valuable after all." John replied.

"Thank you very much!" Said the man as he bowed and left.

"Hey, did you have to pay him?" Serena asked.

"Well, there was no reason not to, and we can always make more later. His information was helpful after all." John thought.

"What if he was lying?" Serena asked.

"He wasn't," John replied.

"Hmm, Okay, ah, you said something about information being valuable, right? Remember all those times I informed you of the monsters? Where's my reward?" Serena asked with a smile.

"Hmm, I thought the cake was the reward? Well, since you don't want it, I guess only me and Ariel will have it, I can get you a different reward later," John replied.

"T-The cake is fine." Said Serena.

'I'm getting more and more used to it, your teasing won't work on me anymore…' John thought.

They followed the path as the man said and began to look around for the herb sign.

"This kingdom feels sort of safe," Said Ariel.

"Why would you say that?" John asked.

"There haven't been any robberies since we came in," Ariel replied.

'She's right, there's also a magic barrier outside of the kingdom. Although it's not visible, I could feel it. Any country that tried to invade this kingdom would probably end up biting the dust.' John thought.

"You're right..." He muttered.

"Over there." Said Eleanor as she pointed over at the herb sign shop.

"Looks like we found it, let's go, I'll go get Alfred." John replied.

After he said that, they got off the carriage and parked it slightly off the road on the side road. John picked up Alfred, and they went inside the store with him.

The inside wasn't too big or small; it was a perfect size. There were potions all around the store on the shelves, each store in some sort of cylinder small bottle.

John called them potions but they might be something else, he couldn't tell from just the shape.

"Welcome, How may I hel-!?"

Before she could finish, she stopped once she noticed Alfred unconscious on John's back.

"What happened to him?" She asked as she went over to them.

"He was poisoned, we gave him an antidote, but he hasn't woken up since." John spoke.

"How bad was it when you gave him the antidote?" She asked as she performed a check up on him

She checked his pupils and mouth to see if anything was blocking his breathing and the sort.

"He was coughing blood," John replied.

When she heard me, the receptionist made a worried expression

"What's wrong? Will he be fine?" Asked Eleanor.

"He'll be fine, Sorry, I was just thinking about how hard it must have been for him." She said.

"What do you mean?" John asked.

"The antidote won't help much if it spread to the point where he was coughing up blood,"

"So you're telling me, he hasn't been getting better?" John asked.

"No, but it was enough to weaken the poison so that it wouldn't kill him. Whoever gave him the antidote did a good job at saving his life." She replied.

After that she began to chant something, John couldn't understand it, now that he thought about it, he couldn't understand any chanting so far from any mage.

'Could it be..? I don't have any talent for chanting? No, maybe it's in another magic spell language that I don't understand, but if that's the case, how long will it take to learn it? The entrance exam will start soon, won't it?' John wondered.

'I've only met around 5 so it's too soon to judge... I should ask Eleanor when the entrance exams are. After Alfred is healed, me and Ariel need to learn how to chant... And if she was able to do it when she possessed my body, then I should too…' He reckoned.

"Advanced Holy magic: Purify" Muttered the receptionist.

A bright light was formed around her arms, which were placed slightly above Alfreds. The expression of pain on his face seemed to be fading.

'Nearly instantaneous effects. Her abilities are no joke... At this rate he'll wake up.' John thought.

"Alfred, make sure you hurry up and wake up. The person whom you tried so hard to protect is waiting, after all.." John said.
