Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 204 - Future Images Of The Past?



The two girls wondered why John so depressed, but decided to wait until after they left the store before asking 

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

On their way back home, John decided to separate from the group, telling them that he had something to do.

Master Sylvia who heard this, gave him permission and the two girls told him to be careful. John himself still had one more thing he had to deal with today which is why he suddenly suggested this, but they didn't have to know about it.

His sudden decision however, ended up costing him more than he imagined.

==========================

"So it's finally today..." Muttered John as he got up before heading towards the toilet. 

His spiky hair was now rather curly and messy due to the sensation of the soft hotel bed which he had slept on. 

His green eyes rather cloudy and hazy from memories of whatever happened on the previous day. 

"Argh... Why does my head hurt so much." He muttered as he walked into the bathroom. 

As he stared at his reflection in the mirror, he finally noticed it. 

"Wait a minute... This isn't my room!?" He nearly shouted 

Surprised, John quickly looked around. Clean toilet, concrete sparkling floors, a nice bright light in the ceiling along with the refreshing smell 

[What's going on...?] He asked himself 

"Where... Am I!?" 

He quickly looked over at the bed which he had laid on and couldn't believe what he saw. 

It was clean and big, almost like the sort of bed you'd find on a high-rated hotel, if he were to compare it to the other inns or hotels he's been to in this world. 

Confused, John ran towards the bedroom door to leave it, and as he opened it. 

And there she was. Master Sylvia, standing in a long black dress, waiting right outside of the room. 

Seeing someone that he knew, made him feel a sense of relief. 

"Master..." John muttered with a happy smile 

"Put on some clothes the ball is today." Said Master Sylvia before she suddenly left 

"Clothes?" John asked before looking down 

Once he did, he noticed that he was shirtless and only wearing shorts. 

"... Ball...? Ah... That's right, there's the ball today, damn... I nearly forgot." Joh muttered 

*** 

John got changed and before quickly heading to outside to the carriage which awaited him. Today was the day of the ball, but he couldn't remember what had happened yesterday. 

"The suit... Was it ordered to my room or did Master Sylvia put it there for me? More importantly... How the hell did I end up in here?" John asked as he turned around 

A Large building around 4 stories high. It stood out from all the other buildings in the area, and had a luxurious look to it. 

"When the..." 

Suddenly John felt a pain on his head causing him to stagger as he walked towards the carriage. The pain got stronger and stronger to the point where the whole world seemed to be spinning around him. 

[Argh... Why... Does it hurt so much...?!] 

Memories of what happened yesterday slowly began returning to him, and when it did, before he even realised it. Tears were streaming down his eyes as the memory replayed in his mind. 

-------------------------- 

It was flashes of memories, and they were inaccurate it was like watching an old movie from the 20th century. 

"Please... Help... us..." Said the two kids near him 

He remembered them, they were the kids that he had helped before, he knew that, but what he couldn't remember was what happened after that. 

Suddenly, the scenery changed to him meeting up with the kids again, and with them was a familiar girl who looked like the pink-haired boy he had met. 

[Isn't that the maid that I saw before...?] John wondered 

His head was aching but the pain gradually weakened, and he began to see events which had played out yesterday, or so he believed. 

------------------------- 

John was snapped back into realaity as Master Sylvia placed her arm on his shoulder and said 

"Take in a deep breath, and let it out." Said Master Sylvia 

Hearing this, John quickly did as he was told. He took in a deep breath, and let it out in a single motion. 

As he did so, he could feel his senses return to him and his heart rate had stabilised. 

"Thanks... Master..." Muttered John as he took in another deep breath before letting it out 

Master gave John a head pat before she said 

"You look nice." 

After doing so, she headed towards the carriage leaving John alone for a moment. She knew better than anyone that she needed to let him have some time to reorganise his thoughts. 

John noticed two things as he watched his master head back to the carriage. The first was the carriage was a different one compared to the one from before. 

This one looked more luxurious, clean and expensive, while the other was just a simple merchant carriage. 

But all of that slipped out of his mind as he thought about the images that he saw. He felt something odd with them. 

"Strange... Rather than it just being something of the past... It felt like... A premonition..." 

[Like a vision of the future... Another vision of the future? It feels like something Zestari would do, but it's fundamentally different...] John thought to himself 

John's entire mind was confused, he didn't know what to trust or what to think of or about anymore, all he wanted was to find something to distract his mind. 

"I'll figure it out soon... But for now... If those were really images of what might happen then..." 

John paused for a moment before looking over at his new sacred daggers and saying 

"Then I'll have to find a way to change it..." 

After muttering that, he headed straight towards the carriage while trying to think of positive things such as how Serena and Ariel looked, but no matter how hard he tried to take his mind off of it, he just couldn't.

"Sorry guys... I'll be back.... Modero." Translation: Slow Down
