Physics The Greatest Magic
Chapter 90 - Unending Barrage

John turned around and Victor's body looked more and more distorted, like the sort of static you see on an old TV. Shortly after, his body disappeared, and in an instant he appeared next to us.

"Saint-Class Spatial Magic: Spatium UNCARIO." Muttered Victor Translation: Spatial Distortion.

Suddenly, the space around him started to look like a static TV. John couldn't focus on anything. His head was feeling dizzy and he couldn't see Victor or the kid anywhere.

'He can distort the space too...?' John wondered.

'But how do I get out of this...? Ah, I could do that.' John analysed.

John stomped the ground with both of his legs, while he chanted something. And the moment he finished, ice spread from his leg onto the ground.

When it reached the ground, the ice started to spread at a fast rate. It reached Victor's legs in no time, but before it touched him, he teleported.

At the same time, John used 'deprehendre' and tuned up magic perception to the max. Like slightly see the distortions in the air, John knew where he was gonna come from.

Right when he teleported, John created a lance while fake chanting, and he propelled it straight at the next place he was going to show up at.

Just like John had predicted, he showed up a few feet away from them to the side. John's Lance was fast, not only that, but he was that sure not even he expected John to successfully predict his next location. So before Victor even noticed, the Lance was right in front of his chest.

He didn't have enough to time to react, so he took the hit head on, causing him to drop down in lack of power.

"I got him..." John muttered.

Or so it seemed. As once again, distortions occurred in the air. Next thing John noticed, Victor was less frozen than before, as if the attack hadn't fully hit him, but he knew for a fact that it hit.

"Spatial distortions" He said as if he was trying to hint something at John.

"I see... So that's how it works." John replied, showing that he had understood.

'He can create distortions in the space around him. He slightly distorted the attack, causing it to partially miss at the last second. If he can do that, how will we even be able to hit him?' John pondered.

While they thought of their next attack, all three of them continued chanting. One thing John noticed was that Victor was starting to pant. He was getting tired.

All of those saint class spells and constantly teleporting himself. Suddenly that gave John an idea.

'Victor can't teleport if he can't move, he needs to be able to jump through the distortion in the space every time he does. So all I need to do is restrict him. But how…' John analysed.

'Oh, I see…' John realised.

Right when John was about to use his plan on him, he suddenly teleported behind the boy who, in that moment, tried leaping away.

But Victor followed, spikes rose up from the boy's shadow and were aimed straight at Victor. Right as they were about to pierce him, he seemed to have finished a chant which he had started the moment he had jumped.

In an instant, he somehow managed to teleport behind the boy, and at the same time, his spikes were distorted and crumbled.

In a swift motion, Victor in the middle of a chant grabbed on to the boy's cloak and was about to cast something else, when all of the sudden, the boy slipped right out of his cloak. At the same time, he rotated his body to face Victor while he chanted something.

You could tell that he was annoyed by the fact that he was getting pushed back.

But before he could activate his spell, Victor suddenly appeared over his head and slammed him on to the ground, cancelling out and interrupting his chant

"Do you give up?" Asked Victor with his arm stretched out pointed towards him as he chanted.

The boy was currently on the ground, Victor's slam didn't seem like it did much damage to him, but right now, Victor had the upper hand. He had finished his chant, and the kid had no other options but to give up, he didn't have enough time to chant his way out of this attack from their distance.

And even if he did, Victor could just teleport again.

"Tch, I give." Said the boy as he lowered his head.

"One participant has forfeited he will now be teleported," Said the teacher.

"Good fight" Said Victor as he stretched out his hand.

The boy casually shook his head, denying victor's kind act. He must have still been sore from the loss.

Shortly after, the boy was teleported out.

"Now it's our turn..." John said before he started to fake chant.

Or so John said, but he was not sure if this plan his would really work. 

'Wasn't he running out of magic? How did he do that to the boy?' John wondered.

"From now on, I'll give it all I have." John said before jumping up.

He jumped as high as he could using velox to propel himself higher and higher, thanks to velox, John got lifted up pretty far off the ground, he was around 35 feet in the air.

"Gravitas... X 20"

Victor was being hit by 20 x gravity. It was a bit weaker since John was pretty far from him, but it should have still been around 10x normal. He stood completely still, and the ground was starting to crack, falling a small crater due to the pressure'

"And then... Magnum Gla-"

Right before John cast glacies he suddenly stopped. John heard Victor say the words.

"I give up." Muttered Victor with an unsatisfied expression.

"Eh?"

"Are you sure?" Asked the teacher.

When she did, he suddenly fell on his knees. John had dropped back down to the ground so the gravity pressure must have gotten stronger.

The teacher seemed surprised by what had happened.

"Ah! Sorry!" John said as he approached them cancelling out gravitas.

"No problem." Said Victor as he got up and brushed the dust off his robe.

The teacher looked at John as if she couldn't understand what had happened.

"Why are you giving up?" John asked.

"I ended up using too much power so now I'm out, I'll let you have the win, for now." he said with a smile as he stretched out his hand for a handshake.

'I didn't know he could smile like that. Maybe he's not such a bad guy, after all.' John thought.

"Yeah." John replied as he shook his hand.

Shortly after he was teleported, John felt relieved. After watching him fight, John felt like his chances of winning were slim.

"What's your name?" Asked the teacher.

"J-John, John Fox," John replied.

"This is an announcement, the last man standing on the first group, is John," Said the announcer.

John thought about how the other group was doing and asked if he could check on them.

"Follow me." Said the teacher as she led him to the other side of the platform where the other fights were happening.

As they walked, the teacher seemed like she wanted to ask John something, but before he could ask what it was, she spoke up.

"How did you do that?" She asked.

"What...?" John Replied.

'Did she realise?!' John wondered.
