A UNITY THAT CANNOT BE UNITED

ASPARAGA BUANA INTERVENTION

That night we had martial arts training. Every three times a week, the Alkhairaat Buntulia boarding school always holds silat exercises with the aim of galvanizing the students to appear confident, clairvoyant in everything and foster respect.

Alfres Goi as a silat instructor, was already wearing his silat outfit, a black brackets suit. On the left is embroidered IPSI logo (Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia). The young man is an alumni of the cottage and is now asked by the caregiver to dedicate himself through the competencies he has.

Alfres is Ichi's cousin. The young man was the son of Hanson who married Riana who was another brother of Azizah's father who was the daughter of the second husband.

Two days ago, the students were taught some high-level techniques to attack and defend, so the second meeting was the time to apply all the techniques taught.

Witnessed by Ustadz Gau, the match was held in front of the courtyard of the cottage mosque. Alfres then looked at the santri.

"Is anyone ready to fight?" ask Alfres.

Rahmi raised her index finger. Alfres nodded and allowed the stocky girl to advance into the middle of the arena. Alfres addressed all the santri.

"Who wants to be his opponent?" ask Alfres.

"I want to challenge Ichi." exclaimed Rahmi pointed to Ichi who sat dumbstruck because her name was called by the stocky girl. He looked at Rahmi for a moment and then at Alfres.

"Yes, Ichi. go ahead." pinta Alfres.

Ichi sighed and stepped lazily into the arena. He looked at Rahmi who had been wearing body armor by Alfres. The girl shook her head as her cousin was about to attach body armor to her.

"Wear Ichi." said Alfres. "I don't want Azizah's sister to think I don't take good care of you."

"This thing will only hinder my movement." said Ichi who remained steadfastly refused to wear body armor.

Alfres surrendered and chose not to argue with his stubborn cousin. He looked at the two contestants. "You guys ready?!"

"Haaaaaithhh.." cried Ichi loudly as he mounted the horses.

"Gee!!!" reply Rahmi who also put up the horses.

"Yes! Get started!" exciting Alfres.

Suddenly Ichi lunged while twisting and swinging a twieo dwi chagi kick that directly hit Rahmi's chest.

BUAGHHHHHHHHHHIS...

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Rahmi could only flinch and was unable to do anything because Ichi's movements were so fast. The girl was thrown and hit some of the students who were watching and lay down without being able to get up again. The girl fainted.

All the santri gawked at the exhibition of strength. Even Ustadz Gau himself rose from his seat, shocked to see how easily Ichi would move his opponent in just one strike. Only Alfres, Faisal and Isaac were not surprised by the girl's ability.

Alfres could only shake his head and go forward and rebuke Ichi. "You don't understand the principle of competition" he said.

"I really don't like matches." Ichi replied softly as she looked at her cousin. "This woman does not understand her own strengths and weaknesses."

Isaac clapped his hands for a moment. "Brava!!! The marvelous!! Marvelous!!!" isaac exclaimed, imitating the words spoken by Jarjit Singh, one of the characters in Upin and Ipin.

Ichi snorted and stepped back into place. The santri simultaneously shifted his seat slightly away from the girl. They started to fear him. That girl doesn't care. Alfres sighed and told one of the santri to remove the protector on Rahmi's body who fainted. Two students escorted by two senior men carried Rahmi to his room. Lovely finally accompanied them.

Alfres looked back at the students. "Anything again?!"

Isaac watched all the silent santri. The man smiled mockingly. They must be afraid if juxtaposed with Ichi..aah...banchi!!!

Alfres looked at Isaac. "You're the new kid. Go to the arena."

Isaac only smiled as he was called a new child by Alfres. The young man walked into the arena and blotted his waist. Alfres looked at the young man with furrowed brows. How arrogant of you young man.

"Say...Who are you going to fight against?" ask Alfres flatly.

"What if I fight you, Instructor?" challenge Isaac with a dikulum smile again.

Faisal furrowed his brows. Isaac has begun to go too far. The boy began to dare to show his arrogance. The young man decided to raise his hand. Alfres.

"Yes, Faisal?" ask Alfres.

"I'm going to play against him, Coach sir." exclaimed Faisal.

Isaac looked at the young man. "You? You wanna fight me?"

Faisal squinted an eyebrow for a moment then raised his chin. "Yes. Challenged you. Do you mind?" ask the young man.

Instantly, the cheers of the santri sounded. They did want to see how arrogant the new kid was. Ustadz Gau himself was curious, how great the child was, because he only knew the extent of Rahmi's speech.

Isaac developed a hand. "Fine.. please...."

Faisal came forward and stood before Isaac. The chinnese-faced young man then smiled then started putting on a boxing style.

Suddenly a voice sounded....

ASSALAMUALAICUM....

Alaikum salaaaaammm....

The choir of the santri voices returned the greeting. They looked at the owner of the voice. Ichi and Alfres were shocked.

"Abi.." cried Ichi.

"Sir Master.." said Alfres.

Ustadz Gau got up and stepped up to greet the parobaya man. "Wololo habari?" sapana.

"Alhamdulillah, piyo-piyohu watiya" replied the man politely. Ustadz Gau stared at the three men behind the parobaya man.

"Who is this?" ask Ustadz Gau.

"Ah, introduce.." exclaimed the parobaya man. "These are the two boys, Kenzie Ardiansyah Lasantu and his wife, Chiyome Mochizuki, who are their bodyguards, Saripah Hamid."

"Oom, I don't use that name anymore." Tukas Azkiya with a soft look. "I am now naturalized."

The man was surprised. "Oh yeah? What's your name now?" ask the man in a clean manner.

"Azkiya Fatrianti Lasantu." replied the woman softly.

The parobaya man looked again at Ustadz Gau. "I'm sorry for this. I mean, this is Azkiya Fatrianti Lasantu, wife of Mr. Kenzie Ardiansyah Lasantu." he said rectifying the introduction. "I don't know if I've done this naturalization, so I'm just thinking about the Japanese name."

"Ooohh.." said Ustadz Gau with a polite smile.

Isaac was momentarily shocked when he heard the man mention the name of the woman beside Kenzie.

That woman... Is she Japanese????

"These two men are the owners of Buana Asparaga, Tbk Company whose branch is engaged in exploration of Mount Pani mining." continued the man parobaya.

The santriwati looked at Kenzie in awe and whispered. They compared the man's face to Faisal's. Ustadz Gau nodded and smiled.

"Please enter. Or do you want to watch a little kid's practice?" the Proposition of Ustadz Gau to Kenzie and Azkiya.

Ustadz Gau looked at Kenzie and the parobaya man. The parobaya man smiled. "He wanted to challenge the young man." said the parobaya man pointing to Isaac.

Ustadz Gau turned to look at Isaac who was just a patch of waist and looked at Azkiya doubtfully. "You sure?" ask the nanny.

Azkiya smiled and nodded. Ustadz Gau then had some male students take seats for their guests. Azkiya himself stepped into the middle of the arena standing beside Faisal.

"Junbi wa idesu ka, wakai otoko?*)" asked Azkiya in a flat tone.

*) You ready, son?

Isaac just smiled. "Watashi wa koko de watashi no doho o mitsukeru koto o kitai shite imasendeshita.." he said making the santri wide open in surprise if Isaac could speak Japanese fluently.

(I didn't expect to find a countryman in this place)

Azkiya smiled flatly but with an increasingly sharp gaze. Isaac was surprised when he saw the two eyes of the million shining a bluish light.

"Karasu Tengu no shisen." said Isaac mentioned the name of the style used by Azkiya. "Koga Koryu Bujutsu."

"Anata wa kyo no wakamonode wa arimasen.. anata wa Edo jidai ni sunde imashita ne?" guess Azkiya.

(You are not a man of this age. You once lived in the Edo/Tokugawa shogunate era. Didn't we?)

Isaac laughed while the students including Faisal, Afres and Ustadz Gau were dumbstruck because they did not understand the language used by both. But Ustadz Gau guessed, Azkiya was interrogating Isaac.

"Chisana hanashi o oeru.. anata wa watashi to tatakaitaidesu?" challenge Isaac with a firm attitude and point his finger at Azkiya.

"The heat!" azkiya.

The woman standing beside the parobaya man came forward carrying a stick. He handed the wand to Azkiya. The woman then threw the staff at Isaac, who was quickly captured by Isaac. The young man looked at the thing.

That's not a stick. It was a shira-zaya, a sword sheathed on a plain wooden frame that had not been polished and decorated, as well as the handle. It was also not circled with Tsuba.

"Ooooo... dakara anata wa kenjutsu de watashi ni chosen shimashita.." murmured Isaac flatly and then unsheathed the sword and threw the warangkanya to the ground. Azkiya opened his coat and was surprised that all the students and caregivers of the boarding school.

Apparently behind the coat, Azkiya had indeed been wearing his combat outfit, a long-sleeved t-shirt with a long collar. Tights were combined with long boots and a large belt with a clasp carved into the devil's head pattern. On the right side of the belt hangs a bag of bags containing several blades kunai knife, while on the left side the belt hangs a gunto type sword.

Azkiya drew the sword. "This sword is called the Wind-Splitter. It is the legacy of my great-grandfather... Mochizuki Mamoru." He pointed the sword at Isaac.

"I know.." replied Isaac, "The sound of the sword seemed to slice through my aura." he also momentarily pointed his sword at Azkiya, then he changed his style to ko gasumi and then to sha no kamae style.

"Kurama-Hachi Ryu's... Imagawa Fujimoto Toshisada.." exclaimed Ishak introduced the name according to shiaijo custom when going to compete fencing with opponents.

"Koga Koryu Bujutsu... Mochizuki Chiyome." Azkiya reply introduced his Japanese name after he used o gasumi style and became shin no kamae.

All the spectators including Ichi looked on tensely. During this time the girl only saw the art of chanbara (fight drama) through samurai-themed films or events Extreme Martial Art aired on ESPN. But now he saw with his own eyes two samurai who competed.

Accompanied by the cry of kakegoe, the two advanced and swung the sword.

TRANGGGS... TRANGGGS.... TRANGGGS...

The sound of swords clashing and the two fighters attacking each other revealed his sword technique that made everything amazed. Faisal himself did not expect the young man to be good at also playing the sword. Yanto immediately realized that it turned out that the young man he threatened was not a random person.

Kenzie did not expect that his wife's fighting prowess could be matched by that young man. Both look so draw and the match performances they show are so loaded with aesthetic motion similar to a choreography.

"I didn't expect that my ma'u Koga Koryu Bujutsu could be matched by that young man with his Kurama-Hachi college technique." Kenzie commented seriously.

The parobaya man smiled. "Both are both from the Koga school. One is through temple learning, the other is through family heritage" he replied.

"Was... Wiffy can win?" muttered Kenzie anxiously.

"I don't know.the vitality of the two is in a draw." replied the parobaya man.

While the fight is still going on. But one advantage Azkiya is his Karasu Tengu no shisen technique that can make opponents become slow to move if they look into the eyes of the jutsu owner. This is indeed the advantage of Koga Koryu Bujutsu art developed first by Koga Oni no Kami who secluded in the mountains Suzuka after defeating Taira no Masakado, a ruler of Shimosa.

Koga Oni no Kami's Karasu Tengu-patterned armor is displayed in a special room in the Mochizuki Residence in Shiga, becoming the legitimate legacy of each head (Katoku/Toryo) from the Mochizuki family.

Azkiya, with a trick tactic, managed to make Isaac devour a trap. As soon as the young man came forward swinging the sword, Azkiya twitched and slashed Isaac's body. The young man was shocked.

All the santri screamed in shock mixed with pain. But they were astonished when they saw that no blood had come out of Isaac's body.

BREETTT....

Isaac's clothes were torn. The long-sleeved t-shirt was torn to display a view that shocked Ustadz Gau and Faisal.

Isaac stood with a plain upper body, featuring the Irezumi rajaan adorning his body. Isaac looked down and breathed.

"Ahhhhh..you put me to shame before my friends and nanny." reproached Isaac with a face of annoyance mixed with regret.

Faisal himself was flabbergasted to realize the young man's body was squiggly. His appearance further adds to the sangar, especially the Irezumi rajahan. Isaac flicked his hand and put on a gatotsu style.

"Well..why would you imitate Saito Hajime's style in Rurounni Kenshin's movie, huh?" azkiya hatch.

Isaac no longer plays. With a hard deployment of kakegoe, he advanced and slammed his sword eyes into Azkiya's face.

The woman was just about to cross the Wind Slayer protecting her chest when suddenly Isaac whirled like a tornado with a sword pointed forward. Azkiya was startled and quickly threw himself to the side and traced the ground on his knees.

Isaac only traces a moment and then bounces again towards Azkiya in the same style. Azkiya was forced to jump into the air and saltoed and landed again.

"Wiffy... Are you okay?!" yelled Kenzie anxiously.

"I'm fine, Hubby." Azkiya replied steadily.

The woman threw the Wind Slayer towards Isaac. The man flapping his sword slapped the sword that was thrown at him.

TRANGGGS....

While in front of him, Azkiya stood open wide legs, using hira no gamae style. As soon as Isaac came forward, Azkiya suddenly with reflex speed clenched his palms caught the blade.

TAPPPPP'S...

Azkiya quickly threw aside and at the same time, he swung the uchi shuto against the young man's neck.

DUAGHS...

OOOKHH...

Isaac flinched and drifted backwards. The grip on his sword slipped off and Azkiya, without delaying time, advanced down a few blows of the ippon, nakadaka and hiraken techniques to some point of Isaac's body.

The young man was shocked and did not have time to dodge so he just received the rain after the blow that hit his body. A blow to the reed made Isaac fall on the ground on his knees.[]
