chapter 3

"Everyone, back to class or wherever you were going to. Of course if you decide you want to stay I guess there are some bathrooms that need cleaning and The Cooks could use some help." said Lady Red with a smirk.

"Oh shit." "Not the Cooks!" "This isn't worth it. We'd better go!" are just some of the thoughts that went through everyone's minds. Soon everyone was gone except for Shao Lin, Ling Chen, Ying Nam, and Lady Red. Even those who were with Ling Chen had run off. "cowards," mumbles Ling Chen.

"Now Ling Chen, you and I are going to go have a long talk. Come." said Lady Red as she turned around and started to walk away. Ling Chen followed her and turned towards Shao Lin and Ying Nam with a murderous look.

...

"Why did you save me?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" says Shao Lin looking at Ying Nam with confusion.

"I mean why didn't you just mind your own business. Now look at what you have gotten me into. I'm grateful for you saving me but that's as far as it goes. I am too weak to fight against them and you included me in a challenge where I'll just end up getting beat to death in front of the entire school. My family will be ashamed of me even more." says Ying Nam.

"Well I saved you because....," Shao Lin says as she starts to remember her previous life," ...we're friends... and don't worry about the fight I know we can win against them. So don't worry about it. Come on we should go find Quin Li and Shin Lao."

Suddenly they heard the sound of someone running towards them.

"Hey! Shao Lin is that you?" someone shouted as two people came running around the corner. It was Quin Li and Shin Lao.

Although Quin Li and Shin Lao argued quite a lot and were from completely different families that have completely different amounts of influence, they were similar in almost every way. For instance they both were geniuses of the Institute. Although Quin Li tended to slack off more because of this which made him more often than not the target of Shin Lao's examples of idiocy. And they both had the blessings of the gods when it came to looks.

"Shao Lin! Are you ok? What happened? And what are you doing here with Ying Nam?" said Shin Lao.

"Hey Shin Lao. Hey Quin Li. Could you two possibly help us out here?"

Both Shin Lao and Quin Li nodded. "What do you need us to do?" asked Shin Lao.

"I need you, Shin Lao, to help me carry Ying Nam to the alchemy corridor we need to heal her. Class B18 should be empty right about now. And Quin Li could you go back to my room in the Owl House and there should be a book under my bed. It has a simple black covering and on the front should be a simple gold circle with a silver triangle and bronze square inside of each other. Got it?" said Shao Lin. Quin Li nodded and turned and ran to go get the book. "C'mon Shin Lao let's get out of here. And please be careful I think that they might have broke a couple of Ying Nam's ribs."

"Ok. C'mon Ying Nam, up ya go." said Shin Lao as he went to pick up Ying Nam.

...

A few minutes later in the alchemy corridor.

"uugh that hurts." said Ying Nam as she was carried by Shin Lao.
