Capítulo 28: Golden Maknae
The group went to work on different combinations in terms of how they could utilize Jungkook's powers. They tried mixing his powers with everyone else's to see who resonated well with him. Jungkook, surprisingly, was able to blend well with everyone's powers. He set a good foundation for everyone and was able to benefit everyone's power in some way.
Namjoon was buzzing over the potential of Jungkook's abilities. As the others complimented Jungkook, encouraging him, Namjoon went into the think tank as he thought about potential combinations and what they could possibly do with the help of Jungkook.
Hoseok was excited as he chatted with Jungkook.
"Your power is great, and I can feel your alignment is incredibly powerful. I can tell that I have a long way to go before I can be on your level as a Spirit Caller."
Jungkook was slowly building his self confidence as his hyungs encouraged him. Yoongi walked over with a curious look on his face.
"What about fighting as a Battle Mage? Can you do that?"
Hoseok looked over to Jungkook with a look of wonder and excitement at this question. Jungkook scratched his head.
"Not really. I've never learnt much about them. But I'd be willing to give it a try."
Yoongi nodded.
"OK, what about Magic-Channelling?"
Jungkook shook his head.
"I haven't tried it before."
Yoongi looked towards the thinking Namjoon.
"Hey, leader. Do you want to teach Jungkook Magic-Channelling and then we will take him with us later when we go to Battle Mage lessons? I think it would be worth a try to see if he is suited for them."
Namjoon looked over to the others and smiled.
"I had the same thought. I already believe that he has it in him to use all three fighting styles, I was thinking about how we could best utilize his abilities if he really can use all three."
Namjoon grabbed another Word from his desk.
"This time, don't use it to call out a Spirit. Instead, channel it through your body. Find the power laying dormant within you and call it out. Give it a try."
Jungkook looked at Namjoon nervously for a second. Then he remembered his hyungs encouragements and thoughts of him. He wanted to do his best to love up to their expectations. He nodded as he took the Word. Again, he read it, memorized it and it dissolved and flew into him. He closed his eyes for a time as it settled within him.
He then faced the dummy in the corner once more and raised his hand to point at it and began chanting. He felt energy flow through him as he chanted. He felt he had done it wrong so tried again, restarting the chant. This time, he felt something pulse within him, even though he failed again. Yoongi's eyebrow shot up in shock.
"He found the Energy Flux already."
Namjoon and Hyosang looked at each other in awe. This was only his second attempt yet he had found the Energy Flux within him already? Jungkook chanted one more time, tapping into the pulse he felt before. This time the chant and the energy in him felt a lot different. Stronger. He continued with the chant as he locked his eyes on the dummy in the corner.
As he chanted, he felt energy seep out of his hand. What looked like earth was forming around his fist, slowly creating a giant ball. He then finished the chant and imagined the ball of earth shooting forward. As this thought was made in his mind, the earth ball left his hand and shot towards the dummy. The ball went straight past the dummy and flew into the wall behind it, colliding and embedding itself into the wall.
The boys all looked at the ball of earth in the wall and turned to look at Jungkook in awe. Jungkook looked at the ground embarrassed.
"Sorry hyungs, I missed."
The boys all looked st each other and began laughing. The came and gathered around Jungkook excited.
"You actually pulled it off? That's incredible!"
"Your first time and you can already channel the energy? Daebak!"
"Not bad, Jungkook. Not bad."
"That was...I can't believe you....wow!"
Jungkook was shocked at their reactions. He thought that he did bad because he had missed yet they were all praising him for even being able to channel it correctly. He was confused by was happy that they were happy.
Hoseok then grabbed him.
"So you can be a Magic-Channeller too. Now let's see if you have what it takes to be a Battle Mage as well."
Without warning, Hoseok sped off out the workshop, dragging Jungkook along. Although the Battle Mage class wasn't for a little while, Sung Deuk always made time for Hoseok as he was an exceptional Battle Mage and enjoyed training him.
The two Adepts sped out the building and through the forest. Jungkook was so shocked but was nownjust trying to not trip and fall over. Hoseok was running at an insane speed. They neared the largr dome, the Battle Mage training grounds. As they entered, Son Sung Deuk was standing off to the side observing different blades. He then turned to see Hoseok.
"Hoseok. Lessons aren't for another hour. What's the big rush?"
Hoseok pulled Jungkook before him.
"This is our new member, Jeon Jungkook. He's a Spirit Caller but we just found that he has potential as a Magic-Channeller as well. His affinity for both was extremely high. What if his talent extends to Battle Maging as well?"
Son Sung Deuk looked st Jungkook impressed. Naturally, he knew that Jungkook would be joining and heard about his skills as a Spirit Caller. But for him to be able to use Magic-Channelling as well was a shock. He was impressed. He grabbed a sword and gave it to Jungkook. He grabbed another for himself and stood in front of him.
"React naturally."
Sung Deuk slashed at Jungkook. Surprised, Jungkook raised the blade at and angle that caused Sung Deuk's blade to deflect and bounce off, Jungkook instinctively slashed at Sung Deuk as his blade was deflected. Sung Deuk went wide eyed as he moved his body to dodge the blade before striking again. Jungkook rolled to the side to dodge and quickly got up and faced Sung Deuk, clearly preparing himself for another attack. Sung Deuk looked at him.
"Nice reflexes. I'm impressed. Your instincts are well suited to be a Battle Mage."
"He can do this too?"
Hoseok turned to see a shocked Yoongi, Namjoon and Hyosang walking over. Namjoon wouldn't stop smiling.
"He's a Spirit Caller, with an affinity for Magic-Channelling as well as talent to be a Battle Mage."
Hyosang whistled, very impressed.
"That's a triple threat for you, right there."
Yoongi nodded.
"He will be a vital piece to Bangtan."
Hoseok clapped his hands with a large grin on his face.
"He can do it all. Our little Golden Maknae, Jungkookie. Awesome!"
Sung Deuk nodded his head in approval.
"It seems that way. Since you all are here, let's start the lesson early. Specifically, let's see how talented our maknae really is."
The others all looked at each excited and nodded their heads. Jungkook looked around with a lost face. He didn't know what was going on but everyone was smiling so he smiled as well. The others all grabbed a sword from the racks on the side and stood in a line before Sung Deuk. Jungkook looked around confused before just going to stand beside Hoseok.
Sung Deuk took up a stance.
"Follow and copy."
Sung Deuk stepped forward and slashed, the others all copied as best as they could. Jungkook saw the others and followed along a second after. Sung Deuk slashed again and the others copied, this time Jungkook moved just a moment late. By the fourth slash, Jungkook was in time with the others, copying the strike extremely well.
Sung Deuk obviously noticed this and grinned as he went into thought.
'That "Golden Maknae" title Hoseok gave him really suits him. I wonder how far this kid can go'
