"CLUB XIAOLIN (academy AU)"
I created this at around three in the morning due to a lack of fanfiction on this topic. Please don't take it too seriously... without me.
It is based on the student life of all the characters from the original series, with one small difference.
They all attend the same academy (still unnamed), which is very prestigious and renowned, but not exactly for its educational system or its suspicious cafeteria food. Outside the academy, some rumour that the reason it continues to operate is thanks to sponsorships. AND THIS IS THE TRUTH. A large number of talented people who are now a little better known came out of there, but that doesn't mean they were good at letters or numbers specifically. NO. We're talking about athletes, technologists, artists, or practically anything else that someone could be good at.
And it's nothing more and nothing less than because of the clubs.
To make a long story short, there was a time when the place was about to close, so they desperately implemented random extracurricular clubs just to attract more people, but what no one expected was that real talent would end up being formed. It wasn't on purpose, but given the clear response, they decided to focus everything they had on that. The classes are short, but the clubs grow in unexpected ways. Things progressed so much that they could pass themselves off as another type of institution... although not on paper.
This is where our protagonists come in.
Due to the rare prestige of this institution, getting in became very complicated. Why? Because the entrance exam is not just a simple piece of paper.
Unless you are highly gifted in something or have remarkable talent, it will be very difficult to be accepted. It was clear that what matters here is keeping the statistics high.
That is why talents from all over the world take the opportunity to prove that they are capable of demonstrating that they are part of that 1% who were born with a special gift.
From America to the other side of the world, Brazil, China, the United States, France, and Japan are just a few to name. There is no magic, only the performance of each individual.
And this year, new faces appeared after excelling in the aptitude tests.
Not all the characters are new this year; some have been around for a while.
Kimiko and Jack Spicer are in the same technology and robotics club.
All the characters here are around the same age, which is why the young version of Salvador Cumo appears on the cover. (This will also be done with the other characters.)
Here, Jack Spicer is not an only child; he has a twin brother who would be his good version in the series.
Relationships between characters may vary because some will be meeting for the first time this year. But they all retain their original personalities.
That's all I have for now, but I hope to upload more of this AU soon.
BONUS:
Here's a spoiler of what Kimiko's diary would be like.
(The others probably have one too.)
