Seeing the weird smile that directed toward her, Clara furrowed her eyebrows. Then came Anna from behind John. Anna smiled at Clara "Hi Clara, i was wondering where you have gone to when i read your note. Thankfully John arrived this morning and now you." Clara raised her eyebrows after hearing Anna.
'Did i search him on the wrong direction?' Clara thought confusedly.
"Around his body there is a strange magic traces." Kevin voice suddenly resounded in Clara ears.
"What do you mean?" Clara muttered in low voice enough to be heard by Kevin.
"I mean his condition is not normal now. Just continue observe him and don't do anything. I'm still not sure about it." Clara nodded at his words and walked toward the group.
Ryan as the team leader speak up "We should go back to city swiftly in case that person appears once again." Anna hesitatingly raised her hands up "What about Dayna?"
Suddenly all of them become quiet. Blake finally couldn't help but speak "I think she's already gone back to city already. But for the safety purpose we will take the same road as Dayna yesterday. Everyone nodded except John who confusedly glanced at all of them.
"What happen to Dayna?" John asked.
"She's said she would be going alone. We already tried to persuade her but got no result." Ryan explained simply without mentioning about the incident while John nodded without asking any other question. Seeing John not going to ask any further,the boys sighed of relief. It will be quite awkward to tell yesterday incident.
Ryan awkwardly cleared his throat and said "Lets go then." With that, Ryan walked up ahead followed by Blake,John,Anna,and lastly Clara whom eyes focused only on John.
On the way Clara nudged her elbows at Anna.
"Yes?" Anna turned to Clara with confused expression.
"Did you sense anything strange on John?" Clara asked out of nowhere making Anna startled for a bit.
"Now you asking me about it, i noticed there is something strange about him. But i cannot grasp fully what is it." Anna pondering for a moment before answered.
"Are you noticing something strange too about him Clara?" Anna whispered on Clara ears making sure that John not heard it. Clara nodded and whispered back "Yes, from the time he smiled toward me. I noticed there is something strange about it." Clara squinted her eyes at John back. Seems aware of her stare, John turned back and smiled toward Clara making her shuddered.
'He's definitely not the same John' Clara thought surely.
"Yeah there's definitely wrong with John. You should ask him to accompany you to somewhere you can be alone with him. You'll then take care of him while i'll assist you when the situations turn out to be dangerous, understood?"Kevin suddenly speaking with his telepathic magic. Clara nodded in agreement with Kevin plan.
Clara whispered to Anna "Just stay silent and don't say anything." Before Anna replied, Clara already speak to John, "Hey John. Can you accompany me for a second? I happened to forget bring one of my item on our sleeping site yesterday."
Ryan facepalmed himself, "How can you forgot about it. Nevermind let's just go together now." Clara immediately waved her hands, "No,no,no. You all just wait here for a while. We'll not take a long time, right John?" Clara turned toward John. John smiled and nodded toward the group "Yes,we'll be fast, just wait here."
Blake and Ryan exchanged glances and finally agree with it. Ryan then speak, "Be fast and careful okay!" Clara just waved her hand without turning back while Anna staring at their back suspiciously.
'What on earth did she plan to do?' Anna couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After Clara sensing that they were already quite far away and can't see Anna trio figure, she turned toward John and speak with threatening tone, "Who are you?"
John only shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "I'm John of course. Who do you think i am?" He then smirked and stepped forward trying to intimidate her by his body. Clara only raised her chin coldly toward him, "Don't you dare take any steps again." Clara cold voice which can make anyone trembled with it didn't affect John slightest, instead he stepped more closer toward Clara. "Why? Do you now afraid of me?"
Clara start counting, "three" while John stepping more closer, "You're afraid right now don't you?
"Two" Clara cold voice sounded.
"Hahaha what are you counting at? Did you start counting your death time?" He started laughing maniacally
"One"
"Hehe no-" Before John finished his sentence, Clara covered her fist with ice magic and directly punched John stomach. John immediately dropped on his right knee and start freezing for a moment before his mind gradually recovered.
"YOU-" Clara didn't give him any moment to recover and directly launched her kick toward John head. John evade it by moving his head back and tries to catch Clara leg. Unfortunately John didn't know that Clara can use magic other than ice magic elements.
"Ouch." He glanced at his burned palm. That moment when John get distracted by his burned palm were enough for Clara to launch another attack toward him. Before John registered what's happening, his vision blackened and the last words he muttered was "Magician".
