Anpanman (still on break, unfortunately)

Chapter 8

Jimin and Hoseok parted ways from each other, agreeing to meet up at an alleyway nearby.

Jimin, the first one to finish his task, is leaning at a wall of the alley. 4 guys standing in front of the conveniece store caught his attention. They seemed like they were staring at something. He squinted his eyes a little bit, trying to make out what they were looking at. It seems like a piece of paper. One of the guys looked at his direction, accidentally having a brief eye contact with him. Jimin, out of awkwardness, immediately redirected his attention somewhere else.

Unbeknownst to him, something would happen. The 4 guys' necklace glowed, indicating that a super is near them. The man who had eye contact with Jimin immediately knew who it was, since he is the only person near the convenience store.

Footsteps could be heard. This only meant one thing, and Jimin knows what it is.

'Yikes, I don't wanna deal with a stranger today.' Jimin thought as he saw the men walking towards him. Jimin looked at them, and gave them an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare at you guys. I mean no harm," Jimin bowed and apologized.

"You're a super, aren't you?" This phrase perked the boy's interest. Of course, he decided to play pretend.

"Uhm... what's a super?"

"Don't play dumb," the same man spoke again.

"Fine, you caught me. Just leave. If you're planning on going after those keys, spoiler alert, you won't succeed."

"Really?" The men are now in their fighting stances. One by one, they charged at him. The first man, whose hand turned metal, tried to punch him. The boy dodged it with ease as he levitated to the air. He descended to the ground shortly.

"Levitation, huh?" Another man spoke, his fist were glowing orange. As his punch was about to reach Jimin's face, he was suddenly pushed back by a strong wind.

"Wait," the third man spoke in disbelief. He already knows what this super's power is. Wind, one of the extremely rare powers. Elemental powers are considered to be rare, which is pretty self-explanatory since there were only 7 people who possesed the 7 elements. One person per element, to be exact.

A telepathy user devised a plan in order to beat him. He used his power and mentally told his team mates about it.

"Tired already? We haven't even done much," Jimin playfully simpered, obviously having fun that he finally got to fight someone.

Judging by his phrase, he doesn't seem that sharp to catch up on us. Oh well, good for us then, the telepathy user analyzed.

Carrying out with the plan, the 4 men charged together. Jimin managed to defend himself against them. Creating wind spheres, he managed to deal damages with them. Unfortunately for him, one of them had an injection. The man secretly snuck behind him while the others are busy distracting him. Jimin defeated them, still oblivious to what's bound to happen.

Wait a minute. Aren't they four a while ago?

It was at this moment he knew, he's doomed. He felt a sharp pain on his left arm. He instantly delivered a punch, out of instinct. The man stumbled backwards, covering his nose after the hit. Jimin saw an injection on his left arm. Feeling weaker, he dropped on his knees.

"Have fun being powerless, kid."

Jimin tried to stand up, but his legs didn't obey him. He feels paralyzed. As each second passed, his eyes started getting heavier. He heard an electrical sound, before everything turned black. Void of any vision, he collapsed on the floor.
