"Nakita niyo ba yung post sa bulletin board? Elites will be recruiting new members, I bet the Royalties will join it" I heard one of my classmates said. After many years, Elites will be recruiting new members again.

For all I know, Elites, they will be the next generation of The Council. Mahirap makapasok rito, sa dami ba naman ng gustong makapasok ay tiyak na mayroong isang porsiyento bawat mamamayan ang papalarin na maging isa sa miyembro ng grupo.

Elites, they consist of five members. No, mali pala ako. They're actually six. Cross is also a member of Elites. He's the King afterall.

Sa katunayan ay hindi ko gaanong kilala ang Elites. Masyado silang madistansya. Sa pagkakaalam ko, they never like royalties, I mean, my brothers and my ex-friends. They hated each other for some reason. Hindi kasi matanggap ng mga royalties na iyon na mas mataas ang ranggo ng council.

Council will serve as the shield of the Six Kingdoms. They will decide for the betterment of the kingdoms. They have power in every kingdom. But still, the loyalty of the Council will remain in the Altherra.

Speaking of Council, I looked at Mira.

"You'll join?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yeah, I need to join. I should follow my father's step, I may not be the Supreme Leader like him but atleast I should be a member" tumango-tango ako sa kanya. She really should join the contest, I mean people might gossip her for not following his father's step stone right? Lalo na't nag-iisa lamang siyang anak

"How about you? Ayaw mo bang sumali? They're also looking for a member who's good in tactics. I think you can go for it" Sambit niya. Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya. I have the brain to decide and to make tactics. But I think mayroon pang mas matalino at mas magaling sa akin. Like Carol. Alam kong sasali siya.

"Yah! You need to trust yourself stupid. Come to think of it, oras na makapasok ka ng Elites? You'll have the power to sue them" she said meaningly. I bit my lip. It's tempting me.

"Think for it. See you later, I need to train. I'll join for the physical strength" Paalam niya. Naiwan ako mag-isa sa room na nag-iisip. There's a big chance na makapasok si Mira sa Elites, kapag nangyari iyon ay maiiwan akong mag-isa. Mabuti sana kung andito sila Kara at Arthur. I sighed.

Should I give it a try?

Ngayon ang araw para sa laban ni Mira. Nasa gitna ako para kahit papaano at makita ko siyang lumaban. There are hundreds of them to compete with each other. Napailing na lamang ako. Mabuti na lang talaga at hindi ako sumali. Baka unang round pa lamang ay talo na ako sa dami ng mga kalahok.

Mira is wearing an silver armor, mayroon rin ang badge niya, tanda na anak siya ng Supreme Leader ng Council. Napangiwi ako. Need talagang ipamukha noh?

Napatingin ako sa kabilang dako. The council, the elites, and the royalties are there. They won't miss this of course. Napanguso ako, wala kasi ang biological parents ko. Maging si Cross.

Iniwas ko na lamang ang tingin ko. Ilang announce lamang ang ginawa at nagsimula na rin ang patimpalak. Matira matibay ang mangyayari. They need to show their strengths sa pamamagitan ng pag eliminate ng mga kalahok. They stepped inside the circle, there are hundreds of them. Sino kaya ang maiiwan?

As soon as the host whistled, nagsimula na ang patimpalak. Suntok doon, suntok dito. Most of them is using their powers which is kinda disappointing. Physical strength ang hinahanap ng Elites, pero bakit gagamitin nila iyon? They should only use their body!
