Capítulo 35: Ice Prince
It was a warm day. The large forest that surrounded Big Hit Academy was a beautiful green in the morning sunlight. The trees were a majestic sight to behold. And there was a young boy that was viewing this sight. He stood on the edge of the border, staring in awe at the large forest. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes as he grinned with joy.
He was quite a short young man, but it was clear that he had quite a muscular body. He carried a large bag that seemed to big for him and a hat on his head. He had chubby cheeks, yet it only added to his handsomeness and made him look extremely cute.
He was a student at a Battle Mage Institute and was the top of his class. He displayed incredibly potential, technique and execution in his movements. He was a truly unstoppable force on the battlefield. Yet seeing him here, grinning widely with expectations in his eyes, he would be hard to guess that this same young man was known as the "Ice Prince" whenever he fought.
His teachers had suggested for him to participate in a competition last week, which he did. Naturally, he dominated the competition and won by a landslide. The competition was held by big Hit Academy and, after winning, he was invited to the Academy to learn and develop. He was even offered a position in an Eidos team that was currently being trained. He jumped at the opportunity its which brought him here today.
He was buzzing with excitement as he stood, staring at the large forest. He nodded his head resolutely.
"Let's do this."
He walked into the forest. He continued walking through the the forest, looking around at the trees in awe of how pretty this place was. As he was walking he suddenly came to a stop, his face now with a serious look on it. He felt a strong pulse of Energy in the air. After a while, his eyes lit up.
"Energy Flux! There's an Adept nearby."
He began to walk in the direction of this powerful energy pulse. He followed his senses as he walked through the forest. He then felt a second powerful pulse. He grinned. He gushed that two Adept's were training. He wanted to see these Adept's, he ran forward. He came to a clearing as the trees began to open up, making way to a large opening. As the young man approached the clearing, he was shocked to see a large training field.
He saw a group of young men standing on the edge of the field watching two others. The two were the one's that the young man had sensed. One was rushing around the battlefield at an insane speed. He had two small blades in his hands and seemed to propelled forward by a powerful gust of wind. The person was standing in one place. There was lightning surging around him and bolt after bolt was being sent at the young man with the two blades.
The young man watching grinned in amazement.
"A Magic-Channeller and a Battle Mage. Awesome!"
The Battle Mage weaved in and out, dodging the continuous barrage of lightning bolts that were being thrown at him. As he dodged another one, he noticed an opening. A powerful gust of wind appeared behind him and he was shot forward at an extreme speed towards the Magic-Channeller. The Magic-Channeller smirked as he had expected this. He quickly chanted and created a powerful surge of lightning, much stronger than the previous lightning bolts, and sent it directly at the Battle Mage, who seemed to be shooting directly into it.
The Battle Mage brought his blades before him and began spinning them. Wind began to coalesce on them. The young man gasped in shock.
"A Synergy Weapon? And it is his own custom made?"
The wind on the Battle Mage's blades began to spin and cover the Battle Mage. He slowly began to go translucent, seemingly beginning to turn into the wind. The lightning strike hit him and passed right through him as he disappeared into the air. A gust of wind swept past the Magic-Channeller, who stood there in shock. A blade was now on his neck. He grinned.
"I concede defeat. How long have you been hiding this move? That was an incredible."
The Battle Mage removed the blade from his opponents throat and smiled as he came to stand beside him.
"Just recently, training with freaks like you all, naturally I need to grow stronger to keep up. I've been wanting to use it in a sparring to see if it would work."
"It definitely worked."
The group had approached the two and continued to praise the two Adept's.
"Wow.. Hyung was able to pull out such a strong move."
"I didn't expect you to bring out a move like that, is there many limitations on it?"
"A few, but I think I can get rid of most of them. Still a work in progress."
"The move is incomplete? How strong will it be when you finish it."
As the group continued to chat away, one of the young men stared across the field. He had a cold and piercing gaze as he noticed something.
"Namjoon. We have a guest."
The boys all stopped talking as they looked over curiously. They saw the short young man standing there with a big grin. The Magic-Channeller who had lost smirked as he saw the young man and walked over. The others all followed behind. The young man stood there nervously as the group approached. The one leading the group stopped in front of the young man.
"You must be the new kid. Bang Pd-nim informed me you would be here today."
He bowed politely.
"Kim Namjoon. 18. I'm the leader of this little group here. What's you name?"
The young man bowed in response.
"I'm Park Jimin. 17. Battle Mage. Nice to meet you all."
The boy with the blades grinned hearing he was a Battle Mage and stepped forward.
"Leader, can I take this one?"
Namjoon turned and grinned as he stepped back. The young man with the two blades bowed.
"I'm Jung Hoseok. 18. Battle Mage. Would you mind a short spar with me?"
Jimin was slightly shocked at this sudden request, but then grinned.
"Of course."
Hoseok grinned as he went out on the field. Jimin put his bag on the ground. He rummaged through it for a second before pulling out something wrapped in a blue cloth. He then made his way on to the field as well. Hoseok faced Jimin and bowed, Jimin bowed as well. Hoseok breathed in before gripping his twin blades and getting into a fighting stance.
Jimin unwrapped the piece of cloth and within it was a blade in a scabbard. It was light blue and the others all sensed a slight drop in temperature after he removed the cloth. Hoseok's eyebrows shot up as he saw the blade. Jimin then slowly removed the blade from the scabbard. The temperature then seemed to drop even more. Hoseok felt a slight chill. He grinned.
"Let's see what you got."
Hoseok charged forward, the wind pushing him forward at an insane speed. Jimin stood there confidently watching Hoseok approach. He raised his blade and clashed with Hoseok's. His ice clashed with the wind and Hoseok was deflected. As he moved back, Jimin jumped forward gracefully and sent a slash towards Hoseok.
Hoseok defended it with a strong slash, pushing back both himself and Jimin. They both charged forward at each other. As they clashed, the others watched in awe.
"This our first Battle Mage fighting we have witnessed on this level."
"He is actually going toe to toe with Hoseok."
"Not exactly."
The group turned to the maknae who was observing curiously. When he realized everyone was looking at him, he blushed slightly as he tried to explain.
"It is hard to say they are going toe to toe. They are using to completely different fighting patterns and their styles are vastly different. Hoseok hyung has a hard hitting, powerful and strong force when he fights. He brings chaos and rampages, completely unstoppable. That is his strength. But this Park Jimin is different. He is refined, graceful. He moves with precision, calculated. If Hoseok hyung is an explosion of power, Jimin is an accurately placed arrow, striking exactly where it needs to. He has such a smooth flow with his movements, it is as if his is water itself."
The others all looked over and could now see the young maknae's observations clearly. Jimin had a continuous flow to his movements, each move connected to the next with such grace, his attacks were like a flowing river, continually moving, adjusting itself seamlessly to overcome the obstacles before it.
Hoseok and Jimin were both excited as they had found someone to spar at such a high level with. Hoseok spoke.
"Shall we see how far we can push this."
Jimin grinned.
"Bring it on!"
