32 Visual Prowess

The boys were all cooped up in the craft workshop again, working on different Flux Hybrids and experimenting with different combinations and fusions of power. Hyosang was taking a break, having a quick snack. Jungkook and Taehyung were discussing something with Hoseok who happily explained all he knew on the matter. Yoongi was sitting at his desk, quietly working to himself. He had a rough night at work, he bumped his broken shoulder badly and was in a lot of pain this morning. He still hadn't told anyone and continued to hide his injury. He had recently lost a bit of weight due to his inability to exercise and train properly, though it wasn't enough for anyone to notice.

Namjoon was sitting at his desk, tapping on the table. He was waiting for someone that was supposed to be coming today. Their next potential member. Although he had already met him previously, it was only in passing. He was already close to one of the members, so that made things easier, but Namjoon still felt nervous and jittery knowing that the new potential member was coming today.

Hitman Bang told him that he would be attending a few lessons with them and spend some time with them working in the workshop occasionally but would still be taking his other lessons at the Academy. This was a trial to see whether he would be suited as a member of their team or to continue the path that he was already walking. After reading his profile, Namjoon believed that he would definitely be helpful to the team. Although he didn't know how to use Magic-Channelling, Spirit Calling or even how to fight like a Battle Mage, he still had his own qualities to him that Namjoon knew would boost and strengthen the team if used correctly.

There was a knock on the door and Namjoon stood up instantly and bolted to the door. Everyone saw how panicked and nervous he was and stared curiously at the door. As he opened the door he grinned.

"Oh great, you're here. Come in."

Namjoom welcomed the visitor in. A handsome young man walked in. As he walked in, scanned the room quietly. Hyosang stood up seeing the young man.

"Seokjin? What are you doing here?"

Hyosang came and greeted the young man. The others realized that this was the young man they had seen previously. Hoseok came over curiously.

"Namjoonie, seems like you were expecting him. What's going on?"

Namjoon grinned.

"Seokjin hyung will be training and spending some time with us. He is currently training as an Illusionist, but Bang Pd-nim believes he may have a lot of potential to debut as an Eidos along with the rest of us."

Hyosang turned to the handsome young man.

"Is this true? Why didn't you tell me?"

The young man chuckled softly.

"I only found out this morning when I was told to come here. So this is the 'Bangtan' room that I heard about. Smaller than I thought it would be."

The young man looked around curiously. Namjoon stepped forward and quickly introduced everyone.

"My name is Kim Namjoon. I am the leader of this group of misfits. This is Jung Hoseok, Jeon Jungkook and Kim Taehyung."

The three politely bowed. Seokjin bowed in reply. Namjoon continued.

"You already know Hyosang hyung. And in the corner is Min Yoongi hyung."

Yoongi turned to look at Seokjin with a droll stare before turning back to his work. Seokjin frowned slightly.

"That's a little rude. Let's see what's so important that you won't even greet me properly."

In a flash, the contraption that Yoongi had vanished before him.

"What is this thing?"

Yoongi turned and Seokjin was now casually sitting on a table holding the contraption Yoongi was working on. Yoongi chanted, summoning flames in his hand.

"Give it back."

He sent the ball of fire flying towards Seokjin. He noticed a strange flicker as his fire flew into the wall and Seokjin had disappeared.

"That was a close one."

Yoongi jumped at the sound of Seokjin's voice behind him. Seokjin was now sitting calmly on his desk.

"Throwing fireballs is a little rude, don't you think?"

Yoongi didn't understand how he had moved so quickly. Hoseok, Jungkook and Taehyung all stared at Seokjin completely confused. How did he move so quickly? He moved too fast for anyone of them to comprehend. Hyosang looked at Namjoon who was grinning.

"Seems like you already know what he can do, are you going to tell the others, Mr Leader?"

Namjoon chuckled.

"I think it will best for our new member to introduce himself on his own."

Seokjin looked over to Namjoon and nodded. He looked back at Yoongi. Yoongi was shocked to see something glowing in his eyes before he suddenly vanished before him. He turned around and Seokjin was now standing by Namjoon and he bowed deeply.

"I am Kim Seokjin. 19. Illusionist in training."

He then pointed at his eyes.

"Possessor of a Visual Prowess."

The room was stunned. Yoongi was visibly shaken, while Hoseok and the two maknaes gaped in shock. Visual Prowess was an extremely rare ability that not many acquired. Most were born with it while others had the ability appear gradually overtime, but there was one certain thing. Visual Prowess was impossible to learn. No matter how much you tried, it was something bound by your family bloodlines and was a rare ability for someone to have.

Visual Prowess gave the user special abilities related to their innate power. If the two were well in sync with each other, the power was usually so strong that those gifted with Visual Prowess were able to change the tide of battle in an instant.

Having Visual Prowess must have something to do with how he was able to move so quickly. Hoseok was so curious that he couldn't help but ask.

"So what is your power? What element do you use?"

Seokjin grinned. He picked up a piece of metal from the table.

"It is kind of difficult to explain as my power isn't exactly an element."

He through the piece of metal into the air. As he did, a bright flash appeared from his eye. The piece of metal began to move slowly before stopping in mid air. The others all stared in amazement at the floating piece of metal. Seokjin looked up at the piece of metal for a few seconds before putting his hand out. There was another flash from Seokjin's eye as the piece of metal seemed to realize it was in the air and fell down into Seokjin's hand.

"I have the ability to control, to a degree, Time and Space. I look forward to working with you all."

As Seokjin bowed, the others all looked at each other in awe. Time and Space? There was such a powerful cheat ability like this? They all stared in wonder at Seokjin. A powerful hyung had appeared. Namjoon nodded his head in approval.

"Although I had read about it in your profile, seeing it in real life is another thing entirely. But now we will need to see if you will compatible with Magic-Channelling or Spirit Calling. Then we can see if you will work well as a Battle Mage."

Seokin confidently gave a thumbs up.

"No problem. I can do whatever I set my mind to."

Namjoon nodded, feeling good at Seokjin's confidence, he seemed like a reliable hyung.

"OK, let's see what you got."

Namjoon walkes over to his desk and grabbed two Word's from it and then handed them to Seokjin.

"Give those a try."

Seokjin nodded as he took them confidently. He then stood there as the others all looked at him expectantly, waiting to see what he would be able to do. Seokjin then looked at Namjoon in the eyes and confidently spoke.

"So what do I do with these?"
