Yang ran past all the young immortals that were bidding farewell to their families and searched after a certain someone among the crowd. Before he found her, he was jumped at by two mischievous boys.
"Yang!" Two identical voices called out.
"Hot, Pot, get down from me!" Yang groaned as he tried to push down the twins that were clinging to his body.
"Why?" Both asked in chorus.
"Because you are embarrassing us! Look around, everyone is watching us."
"Oh, that's quite true." Hot quickly landed on his feet after a quick glance at the crowd.
"There's nothing to look at! Shoo!" Pot shouted as he got down on the ground and waved around his arms.
The nearby immortals muttered about how undisciplined they were before redirecting their attention elsewhere.
"So, have you found Yin yet?" The teasing tone in Hot's voice couldn't be missed.
"Nope." Yang coughed to hide his embarrassment. Was it truly that obvious that he had been searching for Yin?
"Aw, poor boy." Pot teased as he dunked Yang's shoulder.
"Maybe she has already registered and entered the Zili Academy?" Hot suggested.
"Maybe." Yang found it quite possible and thus nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Hot threw an arm each over his two companions and directed them towards the main gate.
After successfully completing their registration, they received their badge as a proof of their identity as a Zili student. On it, their name, race, grade and class was engraved.
Once in a millenium, the Zili Academy would open its gates and accept students for a century. One century corresponded one grade and thus the three young Fire Gods who had only studied a hundred years at the academy was now starting their second grade.
Because of the large amounts of students at the academy, each grade had to be divided into different classes. To ensure diversity and encourage acceptance between the races, each class was composed of students with vastly different origins and background. Coincidentally, they all ended up in the same class called Purple.
"We are lucky to become fellow classmates once again!" Pot exclaimed as they sat in a flying carriage towards their classroom.
"We are going to have so much fun together." Hot grinned and stared mischievously at Yang.
"Hopefully, Yin will be in our class this time. Otherwise, a certain someone would grieve severely."
"Who are you talking about?" Yang asked flustered, even though he tried to act nonchalantly.
The twins casted meaningful glances at each others, which of course didn't go unnoticed by the third party but he chose to act ignorant.
