Physics The Greatest Magic

The three of them were surprised. Usiel had Brown eyes and long braided brown hair. She had suddenly appeared and told them that she was Eleanor's step mum. She also carried a fan.

"Step-mum..?" John asked.

"That's right." She said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am! My name is John, This is Serena and this is Ariel. They are members of my party," John said as he bowed and introduced them.

'I think I forgot to introduce them, Kurt… Hopefully, they're not mad about that…' John hoped.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Usiel," Said Serena with a kind smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Said Ariel as she joined in.

"Oh my, what a well-mannered children. Do not worry, there is no need to be so formal." Said Usiel.

When she mentioned children, I expected Serena to lash out, however she remained calm.

"It would be rude not to… We were taught to show respect to our elders after." Said Serena with the same smile on her face.

'I spoke too soon.' John inwardly thought.

"But I'm not as old as you might assume" Said Usiel as she covered her mouth with her fan.

"I do hope that is the case," Said Serena.

"Of course, I do not expect a child to be able to correctly assume someone's age," Said Usiel.

"Ironic, how you're saying that to an adult," Said Serena.

"Oh, you were an adult? I apologize, It appears even adults aren't able to correctly assume a person's age… You looked like a child to me." Usiel replied.

'Oh no…' John dreaded.

"Funny you should say that, you reminded me of my grandma the moment I saw you." Serena scoffed.

"Fufu, Is that so…" Said Usiel.

John and Ariel were both completely lost. They wondered how did a friendly conversation turn into this.

'Girls are scary…' John judged.

"Well, you must be tired, so this lady shall stop bothering you," Said Usiel.

"You weren't bothering us at-"

A menacing aura was being emitted from Serena as John said that.

'Serena, it's coming out…' John spoke with his eyes.

"All…"

"I'm glad to hear that, Serena, John, and Ariel, it was a pleasure to meet you, but unfortunately I must take my leave." Said Usiel.

After she said that, she waved at them and walked past with a servant behind her. She was most likely her personal maid.

"Fufufu… What an interesting party…" Said Usiel after she left.

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

"Grrr…" growled Serena.

'Yep… That got to her…' John stated to himself.

"Serena… Calm down," Said Ariel.

"I'm calm, I'm just slightly annoyed…" She replied.

"It was a mistake, they happen," John added.

"Too often…" She muttered.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I and Ariel know that you're an adult," John replied.

"Yeah," said Ariel as she nodded.

Although Serena looked like a regular 15-year-old girl from John's world, maybe they think she's a kid because she's with them.

"I guess…" Said Serena as she calmed down.

That was easier than John expected.

"Well, let's all get enough rest. The entrance exam is tomorrow after all." John stated.

John guessed that he'll have to fake chant and use words that they wouldn't understand so that they think that he's silent casting.

"Yeah…" Said Serena.

They reached their guest rooms, and they were right next to each other.

"You may each choose a room you'd like. Each room has its own shower, and since you've come a long way, I'm sure you'd like to." Said the servant.

"Of course, Goodnight, you two, and thank you, sir." John replied respectfully.

The servant bowed.

"Goodnight" Said Serena.

"Night" Said Ariel.

They each walked into their own rooms, took a shower and then went to sleep.

***

The next day

"*Yawn* so today's the day of the exam… I wonder how Serena and Ariel are doing." John wondered.

He got up and went over to the toilet; it looked exactly like the sort of toilet you'd see in the past, not the one which he was accustomed to.

John guessed being a noble still meant being part of the past.

He brushed his teeth and stared at his face through the mirror.

"This is me… I'm starting to get used to it…" John said that he pinched his cheek.

The bed was also really comfortable, and John wondered if Serena and Ariel enjoyed it.?

As he continued to stare at his face, he tried changing the shape of his hair as he watered it, but it stayed the same.

"*Sigh* No luck, huh…" John muttered to himself.

'The shower sure was comfortable though… Well, time to go…' John thought to himself.

He got out of the toilet, changed into a fresh pair of clothes which had been left on the toilet by one of the servants, and performed maintenance on my gear.

For maintenance, John just cleaned and polished it. He had been doing this every day. Whenever John had time. It just became a habit

After John was ready, he looked brand new. He placed his dagger in its sheath and walked out of the room.

John wondered what sort of things he'll be seeing in today's entrance exam.. He couldn't wait to find out.
