Physics The Greatest Magic

For hours and hours without rest, the young man walked. The girl struggling to follow behind, continuously tried working out and making sense of all the strange occurrences which had happened so far. 

However, she had little to no luck in reaching a conclusion as none of what she had seen made sense. 

What was the wandering devil? Was he a human? Why a devil of all things, when those who stain the battlefields with blood are called warriors. There were still so much she didn\'t know, but as time passed, the thoughts began to seep from her mind as she wondered when exactly they\'d get a break. 

The blizzard raged on yet the temperature around them still remained warm. For her, following him was both comfortable and uncomfortable. 

Finally, her pleads and prayers seemed to have been heard as she spotted a small light coming from far outside the trees in the forest. 

Joy and relief began to surge threw her weakened and tired body as she recognized the lights. It was the border lights, they were near the city. 

She hesitantly turned to the young man only to let out a sigh of relief as he showed no change in direction. He was heading towards the city. 

"Thank god..." She muttered quietly as she followed right behind him 

*** 

"HUH!? What do you mean it\'s invalid!?" The young adventurer shouted 

"I told you, to enter this city you\'ll need a letter of approval, A B-Rank adventurer card or an indication which shows you are a citizen, you lack all of these." Calmly replied the guard. 

"But I am an A-Rank adventurer!" The young adventurer retorted 

*Snort* 

Upon hearing this, the guard let out a quiet snort as he looked the adventurer, who claimed to be A-Rank, from his face down to his knees. 

A young man who looked no taller than 5\'7, with defined abs and muscles which stood out from his open snow robe. Anyone who saw him would wonder why exactly the snow robe was left open in such a cold environment, yet at the same time, were too creped out to ask. 

He kept gauntlets on his waist and seemed to be doing perfectly fine in the cold. Many wondered if he was even human, but in the end, he was deemed off as a crazy idiot. 

This guard had know faith in his words, just from looking at his appearance, but the guard was one of the very few who asked the question. 

"Why are you wearing sandals in the cold?" He asked, completely side-tracking off the main topic 

"Eh? Because it\'s easier to move around in and It looks nice." The young man replied 

That answer had completely erased any suspicion the guard might have had and only reassured him of one thing. \'This man is crazy and cannot be trusted\'. 

"So come on, let me in!" Said the young man as he peered in through the village. 

It was a rather big village, although it was not big nor known enough to be considered a city, it had many facilities. It was considered a meeting point for adventurers or a place to stay for travelers while also being a tourist location. 

The village had many uses and due to it being close to the border, it had many visitors. One of them was the young man who was being stopped by the guards right now. 

"I already told you the requirements." Replied the guard calmly 

He was tall, no shorter than 190. He wore a strange blue Armour which seemed to be made of a durable metal along with a helmet which covered his face. A long sword resided on the sheathe on his waist and as a shield was placed tightly around his back.

"And I told you I am the A-Rank adventurer, Hexo!" The young man responded 

"Then where is your card?" The guard asked unconvinced.

With a slight change in his expression, Hexo,seemingly more nervous, looked away as he muttered "I already told you, I lost it…"

"Then there\'s nothing I can do, you should know how important that card is for an A-Rank, am I wrong?" The guard asked

Hearing this, Hexo had no choice but to give up. "Fine, I\'ll just go look for it…" He muttered as he let out a sigh

The guard felt bad, but he had no choice. His duty was to keep the city safe.

With a saddened and worn out expression,Hexo slowly made his way back through the line, there were many people but he paid attention to none of them. 

The only thing on his mind at that moment was what he was going to do to about his card, it wasn\'t the first time he had lost it.

"Damn… Old man\'s really going to chew me out for this one…" He muttered as he put his on his waist

He then let out another sigh and took a few more steps when suddenly, in that instant, he felt it. 

It was just for a moment, just a single moment, but in that moment, he felt an extremely dangerous hidden presence. It was as if his life was being grasped by two cold sharp, sinister hands, colder than ice.

With his eyes widened, the man turned to the left and saw another man, with spiky long pitch-black hair, a worn out cloak and a blindfold walk past him. They were around the same height.

the young man looked normal, but for some reason, Hexo couldn\'t calm down. His heart was racing in fear as dread seeped into his bone.

"…"

For a moment, He did nothing but watch as they waited for their turn In the line but shortly after, he walked away.

"I hope I don\'t see him again." He muttered with a serious expression

Just as he said that, he turned to his side and noticed a girl acting strange. She seemed to be keeping a distance from the young man as she stared at him.. She had stopped right beside Hexo.
