CHAPTER2
(Mingcheng and Alisha are busy cleaning off the graffiti of the founder of the village.)
MINGCHENG
This won’t come off!
ALISHA
It’s permanent ink. Mr. Song, the ink won’t come off.
MR. SONG
Then you should have thought twice when you were vandalizing the statue. Now get to cleaning before night falls.
(The bucket of water falls on Alisha making her wet. Her T shirt starts to be transparent.)
MINGCHENG
You okay?
ALISHA
Yeah, I’m okay.
MINGCHENG
Here’s a towel to dry yourself up.
ALISHA
Thanks.
(She wipes herself.)
MR. SONG
[Even though Mingcheng is a bad influence to Alisha. At least, he’s acting like a good friend. And they’re both orphans who lost their parents. So they must take care of each other.]
(He starts to laugh.)
ALISHA
What’s so funny, Teacher?
SONG
Oh, it’s nothing. Seeing how the 2 of you are acting reminded me of when I was a teenager.
MINGCHENG
Were you a trouble maker?
SONG
Yup! I was a trouble maker. And we used to be spanked by the village chief. You 2 were lucky that those officers didn’t caught you or you would be spanked by the Chief.
MINGCHENG
That old man doesn’t scare me.
(The Village chief HongLi walks up to them.)
HONGLI
Who are you not afraid of Mingcheng?
MINGCHENG
Old man! What are you doing here?
SONG
Manners. Mingcheng.
HONGLI
I hear that you and Alisha are causing trouble in the village and skipping class. Should I bring in my rod?
ALISHA
No, please. I will be a good girl from now on.
HONGLI
Hahahaha! I’m just kidding. But it’s no good to vandalize the founder’s statue. He played a key role in founding the Z village and became the Village’s 1st chief. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be having a peaceful time in the village.
MINGCHENG
Yeah. yeah. I’ve no time to listen to that history crap.
SONG
It’s not crap! It’s history of the village and it will be in your written test.
ALISHA & MINGCHENG
Shit! We were supposed to be studying for the test!
SONG
You… [I’m speechless to even lecture these 2.]
HONGLI
Then you better study for the test if you want to graduate from the magic academy.
(They start to run.)
ALISHA
Bye, we’re going to study for the test!
MIINGCHENG
Bu-bye.
SONG
Hey, come back here! Your punishment hasn’t ended!
HONGLI
Let them be… I have some people who’ll clean the statue. It must be fun to be young. Look at those 2, they’re so young and energetic.
SONG
Sigh! Yeah.
(The next day at school. It’s time for the practical test.)
SONG
Okay. Everyone it’s time for the practical test. The magic technique that you’ll be presenting is the transformation technique. So when I call your name… come forward and present your transformation technique.
STUDENT
Who will we be transforming into?
SONG
Me. Now let’s get started. Kevin Zhang. You’re 1st.
KEVIN
Okay.
GIRLS
Kyaaaa! Kevin looks so cool. Good luck Kevin.
KEVIN
…
(Kevin transforms into his teacher Song.)
SONG
Okay, that’s good.
(After sometime, it’s Alisha’s turn.)
SONG
Alisha Lee. It’s your turn.
ALISHA
Okay.
(She transforms into Mr. Song but with big teeth and fish lips. This makes the students to laugh.)
ALISHA
Damn it! I was close enough. My magic power is still low.
SONG
That’s an ultimate fail.
ALISHA
Aww!
(She gets sad.)
MINGCHENG
…
SONG
Zhang Mingcheng. It’s your turn.
GIRLS
Tch! It’s that trouble maker. He should go and die in some corner. And I can’t believe that he’s in the same clan as Kevin.
MINGCHENG
[What’s wrong with those girls?]
(He transforms into a sexy girl that makes the boys and Mr. Song to have bloody noses.)
GIRLS
Ewww! He’s a pervert!
SONG
What the hell was that Mingcheng?!
MINGCHENG
My transformation.
SONG
You’re supposed to be transforming into me.
MINGCHENG
No way. I’m not going to transform into a boring ass teacher like you.
SONG
You…?! You have failed the test.
MINGCHENG
Does that mean I get to graduate?
SONG
Are you an idiot? Once you failed a test, you’ll never graduate from the academy.
MINGCHENG
NAAAAAANI!!!
