That afternoon at the foot of Linggapura. When all the students are almost done practicing. It usually ends with two students getting a turn.
But today is different from before. Today who will fight is a new student who is none other than Sekar Kusuma. Who became his opponent was also a new person even though he had not been called a disciple.
Who else if not Asmarini. Unlike Sekar Kusuma, this little girl does not learn new styles from padepokan. There was an appeal from Praba Arum. However, the answer is to wait for Adijaya to come home. Let her husband decide.
When there is a challenge for a match, Asmarini is quite enthusiastic. Because he hasn't tried for a long time. With the intention of retraining his dexterity, he accepted the challenge.
On the other hand Sekar Kusuma is also excited when he finds out his opponent candidate is Asmarini. He wanted to show that he could be superior. There was another hope in his little heart, he wanted Adijaya to witness it.
Two girls are now facing each other in the middle of the field. Other students were watching on the sidelines. Including Praba Arum and some female students who have been appointed as coaches.
Both are ready with their horses. Sekar Kusuma uses the newly learned style in padepokan. While Asmarini prepared with the style of the Rapati Dance.
At about the same time the two have started to exchange styles. They still use their bare hands. Asmarini is a little stiff because it has not fought for a long time. While Sekar Kusuma looks agile and fast.
Even so Sekar Kusuma difficulty to land the attack. Asmarini can still avoid or hold with a stalk or punch even though it is a bit late.
From the observation of the audience they keep Sekar Kusuma out as a winner after seeing the ability of Asmarini. Most especially the male disciples, they could see entertainment.
Seeing the beautiful movement of twisting two girls makes all male students who do not have a partner dream. If Asmarini clearly no chance for them because they already have a prospective husband.
If there is a competition to choose a prospective husband for Sekar Kusuma, of course the male students who are single will follow him.
Back to the fight of two beautiful girls. Sekar Kusuma did not seem to have given Asmarini a way to counter the attack. He wanted to immediately drop the little girl. In his heart he said, "We'll see who deserves to be Adijaya's companion!"
Meanwhile, despite the hassles, Asmarini remained calm. His intention was just to restore his dexterity. Winning or losing is not a problem. After all, this match is intended so that students who watch can draw lessons.
Dozens of moves passed. Asmarini has issued the final level of the Lapati Dance. Though desperate, but his face bright. Wh why? Because it turns out he is still good at demonstrating his nurse.
On the other hand he understood that his opponent looked superior. Because since entering the sekar Kusuma padepokan directly joined the training with other students.
Unlike the tiny one, Sekar Kusuma was made curious. Although he was the one who urged the opponent, but not once managed to hurt him. He finally took some distance from Asmarini.
Sekar Kusuma drew his sword. New sword giving padepokan. Actually Praba Arum gives a choice of weapons. Since Sekar Kusuma likes swords, he chose them.
Seeing the opponent take out a weapon, Asmarini also pulled out the Golden Flower Sword. Sekar Kusuma did not know since when and where the little girl had the sword made of gold. He had thought that the parapet that gave him, meant that this was unfair. Instantly his emotions were stirred.
While Praba Arum already knew about the sword because Asmarini told him himself.
Sekar Kusuma channeled the energy in to the sword so that this sword let out a magic air. So is Asmarini. He was startled as his sword emitted a fragrant scent like his old weapon.
Fighting continued. Both of them are now playing sword. Asmarini still uses the style of the Rapati Dance. But still as before. Asmarini has not gotten his old self.
So the little girl increased the style to become Rajawali Dance. The flow of inner power into the sword made this golden weapon even more shiny. The Asmarini game began to rise.
The fight is getting more intense. Now Asmarini rose up able to match his opponent. The air around the place where the fight took place was hot because of the radiance of the magic air. The two gleaming swords looked like rotates of a propeller.
Trang! Trang!
The clash of two swords caused a spark. Their game in a fast tempo. In just an instant, five piercing and slashing movements were created. The audience was more amazed.
No exception Praba Arum. Arya Sentana's wife saw that Sekar Kusuma had not used the style he taught anymore. It seems to be the style of his previous teacher. He also understood the situation Asmarini was in.
But a few moments later this Silver Fan Swordsman began to realize when he saw the attitude of Sekar Kusuma in fighting. There was a murderous appetite in his attack. He also saw Asmarini looking astonished.
"What's on his mind?" the Inner Praba Arum.
"Auntie, why her?" asked one of the coaches to be aware of the different attitude of Sekar Kusuma.
"We'll see first, if it's a danger to immediately overcome!"
Asmarini now began to be overwhelmed with Sekar Kusuma who seemed eager to kill him.
"Strick, control yourself!" asmarini.
But the girl didn't hear it. His heart was now feeling devastated. Asmarini is more privileged than he is. He continued to attack with increasingly faster movements. No matter what will hurt or even kill.
"It was like that after the fight with weapons" thought Praba Arum. "Don't...!" He began to understand the problem. A small smile fell on his lips.
Women always misunderstand.
Trang!
Very violent clashes occurred. The Golden Flower Sword came off. Asmarini's hand went numb. She was so shocked. Even more surprised, his opponent continued to attack using his sword.
All the spectators held their breath. They do not taboo why Sekar Kusuma became uncontrollable. The mood is tense. So too was Asmarini's heart very tense as the opponent's sword slid towards his neck. Is he going to die today? Asmarini close your eyes.
Trang!
Asmarini opened her eyes again when something happened unexpectedly. Seen Sekar Kusuma's sword bounced away. One of the coaches intervened. When Sekar Kusuma was surprised, this coach immediately gave a teotokan until the girl was unconscious.
Sekar Kusuma was immediately taken to a special room. Asmarini also the audience breathed a sigh of relief. The Golden Flower Sword was immediately re-picked and put into its arsenal.
Asmarini immediately followed Praba Arum towards the special room. He wanted to know what caused Sekar Kusuma like that?
