Legend of The Clans

chapter 3 Quadruple Threat

"Due to the untimely death of our previous Magi. The knight entrance exams has been postponed to the first week of March. This means knight candidates have four weeks to prepare instead of two." A short elderly man announced. He adjusted his spectacles as he continued to speak to the student body. With baited breaths the students listened carefully to him.

"That said; I would like to announce that the list of eligible candidates will be plastered on all notice boards across the school. According to this year's rules only teams of four can participate." The principal contineued as Cody scouted the boy from last Friday.

"Lastly, the rest of the student body should proceed as normal. You are Marula Academys' finest so be responsible." The principal stated, as he took a short glance at Cody. As he left the podium, the doors around the hall started to glow. Slowly they opened letting the student's out.

"Well if it isn't Sito." A boy called to him outside of the hall. "Since we are the best in our school. Do you want to partner up?" He asked, as he approached him.

"You invent such interesting ideas Brandon." Sito replied, with a smug smile.

"I'm in and I have an idea of who should join us." Sito added, as he looked at Cody.

Abby and Cody stood outside the hall because they were waiting for Zack. Just as the iron doors started to close, Zack quickly grabbed a hold of their hands and dragged them with him.

The trio slowly broke away from the mob because Zack was headed in a different direction. This confused Cody and Abby who were beginning to question his thinking.

"The lists in the cafeteria, Library and multimedia labs will be crowded. Seeing them would be impossible right now. However, the one next to the principal's should have no one, due to people being afraid of authoritarian figures like the principal." Zack stated, as if he knew what they were thinking.

"Great job Zacky. I can always count on you to think things through." Abby complimented the boy, while repeatedly slapping him on the should.

"Anyone could have thought of it really. It's nothing special." Zack responded as his cheeks turned a bit red. Upon seeing this reaction Abby laughed.

My friends. Cody watched his friends laugh. You have always been by my side through thick and thin.

"Thank you." The boy mumbled softly, before joining his friends. Now it's my turn to return the favor.

Upon their arrival the trio found two people already there. "So Maya is the person you were talking about?"

"That's a low blow." Abby muttered to herself. Without notice she approached both Sito and Brandon.

"Her gelatin magic is very handy; but I have another use for her." Sito replied. With his arms folded Sito turned away from the list. "Unrequited love for someone I know. I want to force them to fight each other to pass the exam." Just as he was about to finish talking, Abby suddenly appeared and slapped Sito on the face.

"That was for last week Friday and your underhanded scheme." Cody and Zack watched in stun silence at what just happened

"Why you litt-" Brandon stopped.

"It would be a waste of energy to fight them here." Sito told him. "Besides I don't want them to get in trouble. No. I want to crush them in front of everyone. Isn't that way better than a backstreet brawl?"

"That's if they are able to get a fourth member." Brandon agreed. "We have the only person who could've joined them."

"Yes who would want to anyways?" Sito questioned. "An abnormal, a Mamba who is not accepted by his clan and a girl who was so pathetic that her parents ditched her in a -"
