Taehyung followed Jungkook, looking around in awe. They had walked through the forest a bit more before arriving at the open field where the main building was. Trying to sound like Namjoon when they were in the Flux Tool when he arrived, Jungkook turned to Taehyung.

"Welcome to Big Hit Academy."

Taehyung followed Jungkook to the front door and walked inside. The noona at the reception saw Jungkook come in and smiled.

"Our little maknae is finished training? Oh, you have a friend with you."

Jungkook nodded shyly.

"This is Taehyung. This is his first day."

Taehyung bowed nervously. The noona smiled.

"Aw well ain't he a cutie. Such a handsome young man. You better rush along before the others come out. Then you two cuties will be stuck here all day."

Jungkook giggled. He knew that was very likely if they hung around. He led Taehyung through a series of corridors before coming to the room they came to refer to as the Bangtan Room. Their Craft Workshop. Jungkook was surprised to see Namjoon and Hitman Bang standing at the door talking. The looked over to see Jungkook and Taehyung. Namjoon smiled as he walked over.

"Ah Jungkookie, you brought over the new recruit. You must be Taehyung. I'm Kim Namjoon, the leader of the team."

Taehyung was in awe of the charisma that exuded off of Namjoon. It scared him a little as he nervously nodded, formally shaking his hand. Namjoon turned to Hitman Bang.

"I'll come by the office and we casn continue then. I'll introduce Taehyung to the team."

Hitman Bang nodded and warmly smiled to Taehyung, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Welcome to the Academy. Work hard."

Taehyung nodded as Hitman Bang walked away. Namjoon giggled.

"You have no idea who that was, huh?"

Taehyung turned to Namjoon and blushed as he shook his head. Jungkook chuckled as he turned to Taehyung.

"That's Hitman Bang. The Principal and our Boss."

Taehyung went wide eyed. He had no idea. Namjoon and Jungkook laughed at Taehyung's face as they walked into the room. Namjoon called out to the others.

"Boys, the new recruit is here. Come say hi."

Hoseok and Hyosang walked over from the desk with big smiles. Hoseok, as usual, said hello first.

"I'm Hoseok, Battle Mage. Welcome to Bangtan."

Hyosang came around next.

"Hyosang, Magic-Channeller. Nice to meet you."

Yoongi stood in behind them and just looked at Taehyung.

"Yoongi. Who're you?"

Taehyung was inherently shy and didn't know how to respond. He stood their quietly as he looked at the floor. The one called Yoongi had a scary gaze and Taehyung froze up having everyone look at him. Jungkook stepped forward.

"His name is Taehyung. Yoongi hyung, can you not look at him like you're eyeing up an opponent?"

The others looked at each other and laughed. Hyosang clapped as he laughed.

"So having someone who is also shy makes our shy maknae brave?"

Hoseok chuckled.

"Aigoo they are too cute."

The hyungs all laughed, except for Yoongi who went back to his desk to continue working. Jungkook blushed and giggled a little. Namjoon put his hand on Tsehyungs shoulder.

"Don't worry, we aren't gonna hurt you or anything, you can feel at ease around us."

Hoseok nodded as he stepped forward as he continued to giggle.

"And Yoongi just looks scary. He's actually a teddy bear inside of a real bear."

The hyungs all laughed. Yoongi turned and gave them a simple look that stopped their laughter. Namjoon quickly changed the subject by turning to Taehyung.

"So Bang Pd-nim said that you haven't learnt much but have a strong affinity to magic. So he wanted us to get you to try out both Magic-Channelling and Spirit Calling, though he said that he was thinking of getting you to become a Magic-Channeller. That will be easy with us around, we can all show you the ropes."

Taehyung was too nervous to give his opinion so he just nodded in response. Namjoon grinned.

"Cool let's see what you got."

Hoseok seemed to know what Namjoon was thinking and went to grab a Word from Namjoon's desk. He handed it to Namjoon who gave it to Taehyung.

"Read and memorize it. Then allow it flow into you and let it settle."

Taehyung nodded as he took the Word. He concentrated for a while before the Word dissolved and entered him. Taehyung closed his eyes for a few seconds. Namjoon was observing his Energy.

"OK, now try chanting. Then let the Energy flow through and out of you."

Taehyung stayed silent for a bit before he began chanted. The team was surprised by how deep his voice went, pulling into the Energy heavily. Namjoon was surprised that there was already such an immense feeling coming from Taehyung from just him starting the chant. When he finished, shadows began to rise from around him. They swirled and circled him, the immense Energy pushing everyone back. They were all surprised by this powerful force.

Then the force changed and it began sucking everyone and everything towards him. The others grabbed onto the desks and planted themselves firmly to resist the force. After a few seconds of struggling the force died down and the shadows dispersed. Taehyung opened his eyes and was shocked to see the others all staring at him. They were all shook.

Taehyung looked around and saw that there was a lot of stuff on the floor around him. He was confused as to how they got there. Namjoon's eyes lit up.

"A Black Hole user. Incredible."

Yoongi grinned. Hoseok and Hyosang looked at each other confused. Hoseok spoke up.

"What's a Black Hole user?"

Yoongi stepped forward.

"Black Hole users usually have a deep voice which is able to connect to the lower levels of the Energy Flux and are able to connect with deeper elements. From what I sense, his are a combination of two elements and energies. Darkness and Gravity. Using Black Hole leveled elements, the Adept is able to pull off amazing displays of power."

Namjoon continued.

"They are suited for both Spirit Calling and Magic-Channelling. Although most walk the path of a Spirit Caller, they also have great potential as Magic-Channellers. Quite often, they can completely change the overall strength and synergy of a team in a battle. They are powerful Adepts."

Namjoon looked at Taehyung and grinned.

"You are going to be a powerful Adept. We will help you reach a new level of power if you allow us to. As a member of our team, we believe that you can help us grow immensely."

Taehyung looked around at everyone. They all had looks of awe and amazement in their eyes as the looked at Taehyung. He turned back to Namjoon with a small smile and then bowed.

"OK. Please treat me well."

The others grinned. Namjoon walled over to the desk and grabbed a few things.

"Let's go the training field. Show Taehyung what his hyungs can do."

Hoseok amd Hyosnag nodded excitedly. Yoongi grabbed a couple things and walked to the door. Jungkook smiled and took Taehyung. Taehyung followed them outside and slowly smiled. He felt he would get along well with the group.

After the mini training lesson, Taehyung and Jungkook were walking through the forest. Although they were both quite shy and timid around their hyungs, they were quite comfortable when it was just them. Jungkook looked Taehyung with a proud look on his face.

"The hyungs are strong, right?"

Taehyung nodded.

"A lot stronger than I thought they would be. I feel like they are already strong enough to be competing as Eidos."

Jungkook grinned.

"Well they have already created a few Hybrid Fluxes and competed in the Underground Arena so they definitely aren't normal trainees."

Taehyung exclaimed with realization.

"That explains it. They are seriously powerful. So are you, Jungkook. Your power is crazy strong."

Jungkook giggled.

"Thanks hyung, you are strong too. Learning about Black Hole users was amazing and knowing that you are one is fascinating. I'm looking forward to see where we go as a team."

Taehyung nodded as the exited the forest. After walking for a bit, they reached a building. Jungkook gestured to it.

"Welcome to the dorm. I will warn you though, it is really small, but it's comfy."

Taehyung stood looking at the dorm for a few seconds. Thinking about his future goals and dreams. He wanted to be an Adept when he was young but he didn't think he could do it. After the staff saw potential in him and he came to Anima, meeting the rest of Bangtan, his dream had returned. He grinned confidently.

"Eidos. That's the goal. And this is where it starts."
