The arena had now been split by two oppressing and overbearing energies. On one side was a swirl of darkness, a mini black hole seemed to be forming with Taehyung at the center of swirl of darkness. On the other side stood Seokjin, the area around him seemed to be distorted and fractured, like he had broken reality around him, creating his own reality and realm that he had complete control of.
The most powerful Visual Prowess abilities were area effect and control abilities. They were often used to command and dictate the battle by controlling aspects of the battlefield. A true Visual Prowess battle contained the domination of the battlefield. Who could dictate the battlefield and control it with their Visual Prowess. The area that the Visual Prowess Adept commanded and controlled was called a Visual Realm. Visual Prowess Adepts would pit their Visual Realms against each other and try to overcome and rule over the opponents Realm.
This was now a true Visual Prowess battle. A Visual Realm versus a Visual Realm.
Taehyung's Black Hole Realm versus Seokjin's Realm of Time and Space.
Taehyung initiated the first attack as his eyes glowed and caused two giant hands to be formed from the darkness. It reached forward and stopped at the border of Seokjin's Visual Realm. It then grabbed it and began pulling on the border of the Visual Realm, as if they were attempting to rip it open. Seokjin smirked at this as the hourglass in his eye began to shake.
The hands began to shake violently. Taehyung frowned as he tried to send more power to it, but it was too late. The hands seemed to disintegrate and disappear as the hands vanished. Taehyung felt that the darkness had been reversed, it had been forcibly made to go back in time to where it had never formed, thus causing it to disappear. It only effected the hands and not Taehyung, meaning that Taehyung's energy wasn't reversed, so he would need to use more energy if he wanted to recreate the hands. He knew that he had lost that exchange.
But he expected that, he wanted to see how Seokjin would respond. Seokjin stepped forward, towards Taehyung. As he did, the Visual Realm around him moved forward to. Seokjin's eyes glowed brighter. Those watching were stunned to see what was happening. The ground seemed to reverse and became grass before returning back into the arena floor. There were images of people rapidly moving around, some of then were battling. They all seemed to be ghosts as they didn't affect Seokjin at all.
Jungkook, Jimin and Hoseok were stunned when they saw the three of them in the midst of the Visual Realm. They were attacking each other. The three realized that it was the battle they just had a while ago. These were images of the past. Hitman Bang sat up on his seat with wonder. He had obviously made this connection as well and was amazed by this ability. As was Yoongi and Namjoon. Namjoon was completely stunned by the power of this hyung. Yoongi shook his head.
"Such an overbearing power for such a simple hyung."
Taehyung summoned up all the power that he had. He transferred his energy into the swirling darkness and increased the power and the gravity. It was becoming more and more like a black hole as light was being distorted and absorbed into the darkness. Those that were watching felt the powerful pull from the darkness as they did their best to not get sucked in.
Seokjin continued to walk towards Taehyung. As his Visual Realm made contact with Taehyung's Visual Realm, he came to a stop. He was trying to walk forward but couldn't, Taehyung also seemed to be struggling as well. The two Realm's were pushing against each other, trying to dominate the other.
Taehyung's Black Hole Realm was quite disorderly and primal as it smashed against the Seokjin's Realm. Seokjin's Realm of Time and Space was completely controlled and refined, it was a clean cut box around Seokjin and was extremely powerful and domineering. Anything that made it's way inside instantly aged or was reversed, disappearing instantly.
Taehyung continued attacking and pushing but he couldn't break through Seokjin's Visual Realm. Seokjin could see Taehyung struggling and grinned.
"Let me show you how to control your Visual Realm. Take note, dongsaeng."
Seokjin's eyes glowed as he stretched his arm towards Taehyung. Seokjin's Visual Realm began to morph and change as it became skinnier in size, the sides coming closer to Seokjin in the center. But the front began to move forward, towards Taehyung. As the Visual Realm moved forward, it forcibly subdued Taehyung's Black Hole Realm. Taehyung strained as he tried to fight back, but he wasn't able to.
The Realm of Time and Space continued pushing forward, dominating the battlefield and oppressing the Black Hole Realm. As it neared Taehyung, he subconsciously stepped back in fear. He wasn't able to stop it. The Realm cane to a stop in front of him. Taehyung looked at Seokjin. Although Seokjin's Realm had distorted everything around him, making everything look cracked and twisted, Seokjin could be seen perfectly clear. He was smiling at Taehyung. Taehyung smiled back as he lifted his hand.
"I surrender."
Instantly, the two young men returned their Visual Realms as the arena returned to it's original state. Seokjin nodded at Taehyung, who nodded in reply. The staff stepped forward.
"Winner: Kim Seokjin."
Seokjin and Taehyung bowed at each other before walking offstage. They came over to the others and were welcomed by cheers of congratulations. Hoseok spoke up first.
"Hyung, that was incredible. We knew that you were strong, but that was just overbearing strength."
Namjoon nodded.
"Yeah you really gave us a surprise."
Yoongi was looking at Taehyung.
"But not as much as Taehyung. Since when did you have a Visual Prowess?"
Taehyung scratched his head embarrassed.
"It kind of developed while we trained. Jimin discovered it and helped me train it. He told me to give it a shot. But I still lost."
Jimin came over.
"You did great. Seokjin is just freakishly powerful. Don't try to measure yourself next to him."
Seokjin nodded.
"Yeah. My Visual Prowess is just too amazing, so don't feel bad."
The boys all looked at the smiling Seokjin. Yoongi sighed.
"Aiii, how can you say that so boldly, hyung?"
Seokjin looked at them all hurt.
"What do you mean? It is just speaking the truth. I am a powerful Visual Prowess Adept!"
The boys all groaned at his comments as they turned away. Seokjin continued to talk about how amazing he was, while the others all did their best to ignore him. The staff added Kim Seokjin's name on to the board under Hoseok's name. Another place was filled and the trainees all looked at each other with a feeling of urgency. Spots were being filled.
Hitman Bang stood up, moving the exam along.
"Our next category, will be for Magic-Channelling. Assume your places and let's begin."
