FIVE LEGENDARY LOSERS
Bag. 4, Chapter. Paul, ch. 1
A man with a fat stature appears to be sitting by regulating his breathing. He is very focused on his training. His eyes were closed and his breathing was being very regular when suddenly a swing of a cane floated into his body.
WUUUSSSHHH
With a reflex Zul prevents his body from being hit by the stick. He jumped lightly to the side, then grabbed the stick that was at his side and swung it backwards.
TAKKKKKK TAKKKK TAKKKK
A clanking sound was heard when the two sticks that were floated were clashing against each other.
Zul turned his back and threw his stick forward.
TAKKKKKKKK
Again the sound of sticks clashing against each other was heard.
BUGGGGS
The precise sound of the foot hitting Zul's stomach made him stagger back.
“Argghhh..” Zul groans in pain.
“Ha .. ha ... ha .. after so long, you still can't fully concentrate Stupid.” The voice of the owner of the attack was heard chuckling.
“I'm still not ready Tok.” Zul got up while holding his stomach which was still in pain.
“When will you be ready? It's been too long since I taught you Stupid.” A young man approached Zul and helped him sit down.
That old man is Tok Anai. She is a teacher as well as a parent who has cared for and raised Zul from the baby.
Zul was once a baby who had been dumped by his family.
One night, Tok Anai heard the sound of a baby crying placed on his doorstep. When he came out he found no one there, except a tiny baby who kept crying.
Tok Anai felt sorry, so he took the baby and gave Zul's name to him. Coincidentally Tok Anai was living alone. With patience and affection Tok Anai finally took care of and raised the poor baby.
However, even though Tok Anai gave Zul's name to him, but he always called Zul with the nickname Stupid. It was a loving call from the parents to the child. As soon as Tok Anai once explained to Zul.
Currently, Zul was twenty-one years old. Tok Anai also hopes that Zul will become someone who is useful for community life.
Tok Anai taught Zul all the knowledge he knew. Although sometimes still frivolous, Zul can quite catch what is given.
Overall Tok Anai has taught the ability of the inner science that he mastered. Several baton players have also been handed down to Zul.
“Ha .. ha ... ha .. Stupid Basics. But I have to admit that you're getting better.” Tok Anai praised Zul.
“What's great Tok?” Replied Zul who was still enduring the pain in his stomach.
“Yeah, at least your inner energy science is almost perfect.” Said Tok Anai again.
“But my stick game still sucks.” Zul replied as he grabbed the stick beside him.
WUUSHHHHHH
TAKKKKKKKK
Quickly move the two against the stick.
“Ha .. ha .. ha .. ha.. hey Fool. You're not that bad at stick games. But you just lack confidence.” Tok Anai laughed while leaving Zul alone.
Zul looked only at the back of the old man who had taken care of and raised him. He knew that he was the son that his family threw away. To this day, Zul never knew who his family was and why he was not wanted.
Sometimes sad feelings come when Zul recalls his fate. But Tok Anai always came to console and incline himself.
Although Tok Anai always called him as Foolish, but Zul knew that the old man actually loved himself with all his heart.
Since ten years ago, Tok Anai had seriously taught and galvanized Zul's abilities. He has even mastered all the inner energy techniques taught.
The only thing he still has not mastered perfectly is Tok Anai's stick game style. Although actually the whole style of the stick game has been taught to him. But as Tok Anai said, Zul's problem lies in his confidence.
Zul always made a promise in his heart that he would continue to look after Tok Anai.

One afternoon covered in cloud, Zul was in the city of the duchy. He was there because of a request by Tok Anai to find him a packet of salt and tobacco.
When he arrived at the usual shop he stopped by, the rain fell quite heavy. Zul was stuck in the shop.
The owner of the shop is a Chinese descendant named Babah Atung. Babah Atung has a daughter who catches Zul's attention. His name is Amei.
When shopping at Babah Atung shop, Zul always hopes to meet with Amei.
That afternoon Zul's hope was realized because Amei was guarding the tavern. Although shy Zul tries to invite Amei to chat.
Amei is also a friendly girl. Previously they also knew each other because Zul always shop at the store. They chatted long enough to not feel the rain had subsided.
“Mau Amei to be my wife?” Zul asked Amei.
“Tanyas Babah” Reply Amei.
“Kok Ask Babah? Amei won't be my wife?” Zul seriously looked at Amei's face.
“Isss .. what is this Brother” Amei blushed, his face flushed red.
Zul's conversation with Amei was interrupted by the arrival of several royal soldiers who were about to take tribute from Babah Atung shop.
The soldiers went into the shop and hit the wall. Zul who saw it pulled over, while Amei went straight into the house and called Babah Atung.
With impassioned Babah Atung came to meet the soldiers.
“haiyya, do not be damaged balang owe, later balang owe can not be sold.” Babah Atung said to the soldiers.
“Eh, koh, where was your son?” Said one of the soldiers.
“Already Sir, this owe bayal tribute for Laja.” Babah Atung said, handing over a bag of money.
“I said, where was your son?!” The soldier now snapped at Babah Atung.
“Please sir, don't disturb us.”
“You didn't hear what I said?” The soldier then grabbed Babah Atung's face with his palm, then squeezed the old face.
Zul who saw that felt his blood boiling. But he tried to stay with his patience. He knew that what he was facing was a royal warrior who was notoriously ruthless and unforgiving.
Suddenly Amei came from inside and hugged Babah Atung while crying.
“Already Sir, please do not disturb us.” Amei pleaded with tears.
“Ha ... ha .. ha ... what's your name beautiful child?” Said the soldier approaching Babah Atung and Amei.
Zul is getting more and more furious. He tried to catch his breath.
“A-A-Amei Tuan” Reply Amei stuttered.
“You're pretty. You want to be my wife?” The soldier is getting sassy.
“Ja-ja-jangan Sir. Please leave us.” Pinta Amei's.
“You want to set us up? You don't know who we are?” The soldier grabbed Amei's hair.
“Do Not .. please Mr.” Amei crying cuddly.
“We are warriors..”.
BRAAKKKKKK
Not yet had the soldier finished his words, suddenly a wooden stick had floated and hit his head until he fell lifelessly on the floor.
