18 I think he hit his head

A few days had passed and during those days Jack's friends had taken inspiration from his advancement and evolved their own powers as well. Their Phantoms grew in power and the increase was signified by a mark on the Phantom's Body. For Ron, his Golden Lion gained a Third Eye, the Mind's Eye increasing his Mental Powers while strengthening his soul meanwhile Harry's Phantom, Death had a Wand in its Hand that looked like a Small Scale Version of a Scythe, Harry poured Mana into the Scythe like Wand and it grew to become a full scale weapon. Everyone's gains were incredible and they were happy, ``Haha! I feel like I'm on top of the world. Seriously Jack, thanks for being the guinea pig for both things.'' Jack jokingly hit Ron on the head and thought of his words, the first advancement he made was obviously the Phantom's power up, the second was the way of advancing his Mana Training. ``So have you managed to reach the next step?'' Jack asked the question to not only Ron but everyone as he wanted them to be as strong as possible before they faced Quirell or more specifically Voldemort at the end of the year. ``Of course Mate, it would have taken me days to do it before but with the increase in my Mental Power, I was able to liquefy the Mana inside my body. I am about 90% done but I should be able to finish it in a week or so.'' Everyone was around the same stage of the Mana Training.

With the increase in their powers from the Mana Training and the Phantom's power up their Magic Shield around their body became stronger making them almost invulnerable to spells from most First or Second years at Hogwarts, of course not including themselves or Jack's cousin. Who by the way had also grown stronger once again but because Jack and his First Year Friends had used the year very wisely, they had managed to catch up. They had gone to teachers, other students and gotten instructions and also permissions to visit the Forbidden Section of the library. Although they hadn't done anything drastic like Voldemort who had used Transfiguration on his own body and turned into a Half-Man, Half-Beast monstrosity, they had learned spells and charms that had proved helpful in their pursuit of power and knowledge. Currently Jack was meditating and finishing his Mana Training for the day. All of a sudden he released his Phantom, the Golden Figure stood behind him covered in a Black Robe giving it a Sacred but Oppressive aura, slowly it opened its eye sockets in conjecture with Jack and like him there was a pair of Golden Sharingan within them. ``Bam!'' His Magical Flame erupted around him and danced around him for a while and finally rested on the Phantom's other hand. There it stood behind Jack, with a Wand in one hand and a Flame in other.

``Damn! The aura his Phantom has is something, if my Phantom hadn't evolved like his'' Theo didn't need to finish his words, everyone understood what he was trying to say. One of the big reasons they spent their time here in the Room of Requirements was for the privacy and its sturdiness but another one was their Phantoms. If they released their Phantoms against other kids of their age, most of them would faint from the pressure alone. This wasn't only because they had worked hard when they were young but because they had continued to work hard when most people would have given up. When Jack opened his eyes, he saw his friends staring at him with admiration and Daphne had something a bit more than that. He smiled back and jokingly said, ``Hey guys! Come on, I know I am handsome but you don't need to stare to intently. You are gonna make me blush!'' when he coyly said those words, everyone's smiles vanished and Harry was the first to speak, ``I think Jack hit his head on something!'' continuing where he left off Neville spoke up next, ``yeah! I think so too, wait do you remember the cure for that?!'' although he said that with a straight face like Harry, Seamus finished it with a scary smile, ``Yeah! You hit the person in the head. Again and again until they get better!'' That was the cue, all the boys shot off with speed that would put Olympic Level Sprinters to shame. ``Sectumsempra! Confringo! Oppungo!'' Harry was the first too attack and right off the bat, he fired off two spells and used the third to throw a heavy rock towards Jack, who had barely avoided it and only with help from his Magical Sharingan.

But he couldn't avoid the attacks from the others and had to use his Magical Shield alongside the Protego spell to block attacks from Dean, Seamus, Neville, Theo and Ron. Meanwhile, Harry had used the time bought by others to fire the Petrification and the binding spells, ``Petrificus Totalus! Incarcerous!'' while Jack was busy blocking spells from the others, he only remembered about Harry when the spells hit him from the back. Although his Magic Sharingan had picked up the Mana Fluctuations, he could not block spells from all sides and ended up being Petrified and in ropes. For most Wizards, this would be the end unless of course they knew how use Wandless and Chant less Magic but even with their Talents and powerups, they still needed time to reach that level but Jack wasn't an ordinary Wizard, he was also a Psychic. ``Telekinesis! Pyrokinesis! Electrokinesis'' he used his most offensive powers and attacked them with the element of surprise. ``Boom!'' the surge of Psychic Energy blasted away everything around Jack and fire and Lightning crackled around him attacking anything and everything.

But all those attacks hit nothing, ``Hahaha! You idiot, we know about your Psychic powers, we know you are not out of the fight until you either killed or unconscious.'' Dean was the one to say it but all the boys standing at a distance from him were laughing at him as well. even the girls were laughing, Daphne was trying her best to no do so but it was pretty funny to watch a fellow genius who was even slightly more talented than them suffer for a bit. Looking at everyone laughing around him even Jack ended up laughing at his own blunder.
