The Shaolin Adventures: The Twelve Talismans

Two: The Chosen Ones

Next day, Grand Master Chen posted the results on the Academy Bulletin so everyone can see. Just as expected, all masters are excited to see the results.

Master Frank: "So these are the chosen ones...Now I know."

Madam Jen: "It's a bad thing it's only a list. I want to see how they look like."

Master Jeremy: "Perhaps Master Chen will discuss more about them later."

Madam Jen: "Maybe you're right."

Later Grand Master Chen called everyone on a meeting on the Grand Hall.

Grand Master Chen: "Listen up, after a long research on the scroll regarding the chosen ones, I have finally found the official list of these chosen ones."

Master Frank: "So you mean, the names of the chosen one are written on the scroll? Then why they just reveal on this time. We could have them on the scroll even before."

Grand Master Chen: "Perhaps that they only reveal on their time."

Master Jeremy: "So master, how we could find them? Is it them who are going here or it is us who are going to them?

Grand Master Chen: "Good Question Jeremy. Now to answer it, it would be us who are going to them. Just like on how we recruit you to study here."

Madam Jen: "So you're sending representative to visit them?"

Grand Master Chen: "No, it would be Frank and I who are going to visit them in person."

Master Frank: "But why me?"

Grand Master Chen: "Of course Frank cause I need your help"

Master Frank: "So do you mean we have to visit these kids and convince them? Maybe Jen and Jeremy would do the job."

Grand Master Chen: "No Frank, it is us who are going to visit them. These kids are special. We need to deliver the message to them ourselves. In that way we can convince them."

Master Frank: "Ah man! I hate to travel on different places. I always get jet lag on long trips."

Grand Master Chen: "Just try to do your job Frank. I know you want it."

Master Frank: "Chen I have a suggestion. Why can't we just send this kids letters. You know, like in the Harry Potter novels where kids were given letters from owls."

Grand Master Chen: "Frank, may I remind you that this is Shaolin Adventures and not Harry Potter. We will do our own style of recruitment."

Master Frank: "Oh like how the Weapon X recruited Deadpool?"

Grand Master Chen: "Enough of your stupid Pop Culture references. We are now breaking the fourth wall."

Master Frank: "Alright"

Grand Master Chen: "Now prepare your things. We're heading to London to visit our first student."

Master Jeremy: "Uhm Grand Master Chen, can I suggest something?"

Grand Master Chen: "Yes what is it?"

Master Jeremy: "Since you would travel around the world in search for the chosen ones, why not use the special transportation? I mean it can be convenient for you rather than flying on commercial airplanes."

Master Frank: "You know Chen, Jeremy's got the point. It can be very useful to us. The last time we used that device was in 1998 when we allowed our special friends to use it."

Grand Master Chen: "We can't just use it. That special transport can only be used for special missions and recruitment can only be done in conventional ways – such as using ordinary transportation to visit the chosen ones. I guess you all know that."

And so their adventure begins as the two went to catch their flight to London
