Jayakusuma Tirta

test before going down the ring

They waited outside the tent. Fortunately, the air was not too hot or rainy.

For a few moments Syahroni, Ki Suromenggolo, Ki Seno Aji and Intan waited outside the tent.

Until a nongol face came out of the tent while rubbing both eyes..

"Kyai Shahroni?! Suro Ki!?" exclaim Adnan Shocked!"

Adnan seems to be the one who woke up first!

"What's Ad!" yell Bayu from inside the tent!

The call of Bayu was followed by the voice of Tirta as well as Mahardika.

"Who is Ad?!" exclaim them..

"There's Intan and Kyai Syahroni !"exclamation Adnan..

Adnan immediately ran into the tent and looked for his shorts.

Tirta, Bayu and Mahardika are soon busy looking for their respective clothes.

After the four were properly dressed, then Tirta and his friends welcomed kyai Syahroni, Ki suromneggolo, Ki Seno Aji and Intan.

Tirta immediately let them enter the tent.

Looks Intan's face is still red embarrassed and careless to see these young men.

After sitting cross-legged on the mat inside the tent Kyai Syahroni who then opened the conversation.

"Begini mas Tirta, mas Dika, mas Bayu and mas Adnan.

Actually, we just want to make sure our efforts are successful."

"We asked Tirta to get off the rink tonight! It's not that we don't believe in the capabilities of the Mahardika, but we're still worried and confused by their power." This time it was Seno Aji who spoke.

Hearing the request of these old men, Tirta jayakusuma's heart became uneasy.

Moreover, they had two or three times this asked him to go down the ring.

"What can I do" thought Tirta.

"I cannot disappoint the expectations of these elders,"

After thinking for a while, then Tirta Jayakusuma gave his answer.

"Both Kyai Syahroni, Ki Suro and Ki Seno Aji. I'm ready to get off the ring tonight.

But please don't expect too much from me...". Tirta said in response to the request of these elders.

"Thank God that Tirta would help us who are old" said Kyai Syahroni.

"We have prepared a silat college that can be represented by Mas Tirta Jayakusuma !

The silat padepokan "Rogo Sukmo" which was directed by Kyai Fakih," Kyai Syahroni explained.

"Next after the Maghrib you will come to the camp of Ki Suromenggolo! we will meet with Kyai Fakih and Ki Maruto, the leader of Watu Gunung!" kyai Syahroni.

On that occasion Intan was more silent, he became more familiar with the characters of these young people who are indeed good and humble young people.

He wanted to talk, but his haughty and high-mindedness really prevented him from starting to talk to these young people who were different from the young men who had been chasing him all along.

That's how the conversation then moves on to other things.

Kyai Syahroni began to dig the background of Tirta Jayakusuma and the real purpose of Tirta Jaya Kusuma to the top of Mount Ijen.

"We are actually from a pile on the slopes of Ungaran Kyai mountain" said Tirta Jayakusuma.

"And indeed we are getting orders from our teachers to deepen knowledge and also seek experience." continued Tirta Jayakusuma.

After the day went by and the sun began to shift westward, Kyai Sahroni and the elders immediately took notice of Tirta and his companions.

***

Once there, Ki Suromenggolo and some people were waiting for the arrival of Tirta Jayakusuma and his friends.

Politely Tirta bowed his body slightly and said his greetings.

"Let's go in!" Ki Suromeggolo immediately invited Tirta and his friends to enter the tent which is quite large and able to accommodate dozens of people at once.

"Include Tirta mas, Bayu mas Adnan and mas Mahardika !

this is Kyai Fakih and his granddaughter, said Ki Suromenggolo.

"And this is Ki Maruto the leader of Watu Gunung !" Ki Suromenggolo introduced those present.

Then Ki Suromenggolo repeated the plan of the elders who had agreed before.

Kyai Fakih nodded his head listening to Ki Suromenggolo's explanation.

Having finished listening to the explanation of Ki Suromenggolo, Kyai Fakih subtly said;

"Ki Suro, we agree with your plan! But my granddaughter was going to be in the match, so she wanted to ensure the ability of the Tirta Jayakusuma mass who would replace her in the match !" kyai Fakih.

"Hmm, it's also true what Kyai Fakih Ki Suro said!" this time it was Ki Maruto who spoke.

This disciple of mine also wants to know the true strength of the young man who will replace him later," Ki Maruto said.

"Sorry to Tirta Jayakusuma and to Mahardika, you have to show us a little bit of his ability in front of these elders" Kyai Syahroni spoke this time.

"It's okay Kyai, because we have agreed to replace them, it's fitting that we show our weakness" said Tirta Jayakusuma.

Then they went out of the tent.

Outside of this tent is a large field with green and thick grass.

This time Ki Maruto's student named Sawung who seemed to be impatient to try the skills of the science of kanuragan from Mahardika.

"Please mas Mahardika," Kyai Syahroni told Mahardhika to face Ki Maruto's student named Sawung.

Sawung this was a dashing and tall young man. While Mahardhika is also quite tall and handsome.

They seem to be balanced in physical terms.

Sawung who looked impatient immediately opened an attack towards Mahardhika.

This Mahardhika is not a gentle young man, she tends to be firm although also quite reserved.

He used to be a hard-hearted and somewhat arrogant young man! but kind and helpful. And since the gathering with Tirta and his comrades, his harsh natures had worn off a little.

Without a doubt Dika immediately welcomed Sawung's attack by using the aji Lembu Sekilan.

In one buzz alone, Sawung has bounced far back! ..

It seems that Sawung is still not satisfied with the first impact that made him bounce, in his mind this is just a mere coincidence!

Sawung immediately gathered all his strength and jumped back and aimed his punch towards Mahardhika's chest!

And...

"Blammm,,!!!" there was a loud sound when Sawung's hand hit Mahardhika's chest.

Mahardhika deliberately put up her chest that has been covered by Tameng Waja!

Sawung was thrown back and slammed into the grass hard!

He grimaced in pain as he flicked his hand that felt like it was hitting steel!

"Enough !" kyai Syahroni ...

Everyone present around the place looked extremely shocked by this incident .

Previously they had never witnessed Mahardhika step in, and now everyone present could witness how strong this young man was.

Just twice the buzz he had already managed to bring down Sawung! the main student of Watu Gunung silat college.
