204 The Confusing Twis

"Hm... Where's John?" Ariel asked as she looked outside of the carriage 

"He's out there with Master Sylvia, isn't he?" Serena asked as she peaked out. 

The two girls looked around but John was nowhere to be found. Seeing this, they quickly got out of the carriage checking to see if he had been kidnapped or ambushed but they couldn't detect anything. 

Ariel cast her wind search spell before looking around, but unfortunately, she couldn't feel a trace of John nearby. 

The two girls turned back to the carriage and noticed that Master Sylvia was just waiting there for them to get on. 

Confused, the two girls approached Master Sylvia as Serena asked 

"Ms. Sylvia, wasn't John here a second ago?" Serena asked 

Master Sylvia who heard this, Shook her head without a hint of change in her expression 

"Did we imagine it...?" Ariel asked 

Master Sylvia wasn't one to lie, she also never joked around making it harder to doubt her. But they were certain that they saw him. 

"Then, Where is he?" Ariel asked 

Hearing this, Master Sylvia stared at the sky where clouds now began to gather 

"There's going to be a storm..." Master Sylvia muttered 

The two girls were confused for a moment until Serena asked 

"What...?" 

"John isn't here, he's heading to the ball. Get in the carriage, we're about to follow him." Said Master Sylvia 

"Why didn't he just go with us?" Ariel asked 

Master Sylvia who heard this formed a small smile on her face as she said 

"Because he's john." 

------------------------------ 

In the same alleyway as John had helped them before, the two kids could be seen once more. 

"Big brother, you're here!" Shouted the pink-haired boy happily as he rushed straight at John to hug him 

"Big brother!" Shouted the girl who was with him as she also happily rushed straight at John for a hug. 

John was slightly pushed back as the two both jumped together at him, as they tightly hugged him, he could hear them quietly chanting a spell. 

But before they could finish it, he suddenly placed his hand above their heads before saying 

"Sana." 

In that instant, a holy glow appeared in front of his palms as he moved it towards the back of their heads. 

As the light hit them, the transformation was undone. John could see their true forms. 

Two guys in a dark robe. It covered not only their faces but their entire figure. 

Seeing as how their spell had been broken, they stepped back, but before they could make some space to cast the other spells. 

John vanished from their sights before grabbing on to the back of their head and slamming them straight down into the ground from behind. 

Now that they were unconscious, John grabbed on to them and was about to drag them out of the alleyway to ask the questions which had been on his mind, when all of the sudden. 

Two people rose from the shadows at the end of the alley, Both fully cloaked just like the two who John had knocked out. 

Seeing this, John let out a sigh before letting go of the two on his hand and quickly freezing them in an ice cube 

"So, what are you waiting for?" John asked as he glared at them 

The amount of bloodlust he was releasing was intense, they could tell just by looking at his face that he wasn't planning on sparing them. 

Without saying anything, they charged straight at John, but before they could even react, John appeared in front of them and slammed them straight into the walls beside them 

*Crash* 

He moved around his head and did a few stretches as he watched more and more of these people appear from the shadow. 

Without a single care in the world, John began doing some stretches. 

Despite not having said a word, John's anger reached out to them. There were many of them, two in the entrance, five hanging on the walls in the alley and over 10 looking down at him from the top of the small buildings. 

John raised his hand and that instant; an electric ice sphere was formed. They watched as the sphere split into many small pieces which extended into spiky poles. 

"Electro magnetism..." John muttered 

Suddenly an electric spark surged and began to flow through them, the spikes looked rather sinister and the attribute of electricity only made things more interesting. 

As they saw this, they were about to retreat, but by then it was too late. John had already locked on to every one of them. 

"Advanced Combined Magic... Killer Poles." John muttered 

In that instant, as if they were some sort of cannon, they were all propelled at once. One for each. 

Without having so much as an opportunity, to avoid it, one by one the cloaked people were getting pierced. 

Despite that, they didn't make a single sound and after being pierced, their body would just turn into dark air and disperse. John knew that they were puppets, the ones which he had slammed had already dispersed along with the rest. 

Once there were no more puppets, John lowered his hand, and was about to leave the alley, when all of the sudden, a sound came from behind him. 

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* 

"It's a miracle... A young boy was given the gift of using magic so well... Not only that, but I can sense a profound amount of talent from him..." Said the person as he clapped his hands 

Their voice sounded like that of a male. 

Their figure was cloaked but they were already different from the shadow's John had just dealt with. 

"I was waiting for you." Said John as he turned to the man with a face of rage and hate 

"Waiting for me...? That's strange... I believe this is the first time we've m-" 

The man was interrupted by John who suddenly appeared in front of him with electricity flowing through him 

*Boom!*
