Junta & Wizarding World

#18 Determination of Fate

The day passed quickly and now that it was morning, the current Junta and Kou were standing near the entrance of the city, they were now wearing a kind of enormous plain brown cloth, which was, the cloth covered their entire bodies from shoulders to ankles, not only that, Junta and Kou also wore masks to cover their identities, he said, if you ask what the Junta and Kou are doing here then of course they are currently waiting for Hako and Queen Rana, they will go towards where the main enemy forces are, as planned, they will invite their leader to duel while risking the last territory of this kingdom.

“Do you get enough sleep Kou?”

“Of course, the room inside the castle was very luxurious and comfortable, so it was certain that I got enough sleep”

“You remember the rules of the duel right?”

“Sure, I am not allowed to kill that general unless circumstances coerce, and also I am allowed to use my heirloom weapon right?”

“True, and if you can, you should finish this duel quickly, there is no need for you to waste your time playing around with that general”

“I understand that, but Brother, are you sure of your decision to let me use that heirloom weapon?”

Junta was silent for a moment before answering Kou.

“There is no other choice Kou, we do not know how strong our enemy this time, there is no harm we keep watch for the worst possible”

The heirloom weapon spoken of by Junta and Kou is a unique heirloom weapon belonging to the Rayka family, each member of the Rayka family has his own inheritance weapon, which is his own family, and each of those weapons has a unique power that is different from the heirloom weapons belonging to the other Rayka family members, of course, each weapon has a different form and each weapon can only be used by the original owner, which means Kou's heirloom weapon can only be used by Kou alone.

“I understand your reason, but I don't want to directly take out my heirloom weapon in this duel”

“Did you find another weapon?”

Kou pulled out two meat-cutting knives from under his brown cloth robe.

“Woah, where did you get that Kou?”

“I picked it up from the castle kitchen, I've permission to Ratu Rana so take it easy”

“So you'll use that knife to duel later?”

“Yap, and if this knife is not strong against that person, then I will take out my heirloom weapon”

Not long after Kou said that, Queen Rana and Hako came to them while riding a horse.

“Do you guys wait long?”

“Not also Hako”

Hako and Ratu Rana wear something different than usual, if usually Hako wear armor made of leather, now she wears heavy armor that is armor armor, armor armor, and armor, he also carried a sword at his waist and there was a flag tied to his back, it depicted a black tiger head and the background color of the flag was white, it seems to be the flag of this kingdom.

Queen Rana also wears clothes that she does not usually wear, if she usually wears fancy clothes like a queen, like a queen, right now Queen Rana only wears ordinary leather armor with a small crown on top of her head as usual, and also, the horse that Queen Rana and Hako ride on is different, but their horse color is the same: dark brown.

“We'd better hurry, Junta, Kou, you can ride any horse you like”

“Good.. I'm going to ride Hako”'s horse

“That means I'll ride the horse of Queen Rana”

After they said that, Kou immediately went up to Hako's horse and Junta immediately rode Queen Rana's horse, of course Junta and Kou did not control the horse because they were sitting behind, and Kou did not control the horse, after all was ready, the horses dashed swiftly away from the royal capital.

During the journey, Junta and Queen Rana did not speak to each other, whereas Hako was in front of them leading this journey, leading the way, Junta who was still busy with his own thoughts suddenly felt disturbed by the presence of the rabbit ears belonging to Queen Rana, the ears moved several times as if he was trying to listen to something, he said, Junta who was curious about the authenticity of the rabbit's ear was involuntarily moving his right hand to touch the rabbit's ear belonging to Queen Rana.

“Woah! What's up Junta?”

Queen Rana said that while turning her head back.

“Oh, sorry, I just want to confirm the authenticity of your ears.”

“Of course this is genuine, are the ears that can move like this fake?”

Queen Rana moves her ears once more to prove to Junta that her ears are real.

“Does it hurt when I touch your ear Queen Rana?”

“No, no, it's just that my ears are quite sensitive.”

“Ah.. I understand, I'm sorry”

“No problem, I was just surprised to not be ready to receive such a sudden touch.., by the way, do you and Kou already have a plan?”

“Surely, Kou will strive for the best, trust him”

“Sure, I also want to say thank you, your help means a lot to this kingdom”

“Still too soon to say thank you Queen Rana”

It did not take long, they had already reached where the enemy troops were, their campsites were heavily guarded and countless tents were set up as far as the eye could see, around the camp was erected a simple short wall made of wood, after Hako and Ratu Rana stopped their horses, Queen Rana got off her horse and walked over to the two camp guards.

“I, Queen of the kingdom of Aruf, ask to meet with the supreme commander of your army!”

The two guards looked at each other before finally entering the camp.

Not long after they left, the two guards returned with a tall man and wore shiny iron armor, his head was bald and his eyes were black, not only that, in the part around his eyes, there is a black color that at first glance gives the impression that this person lacks sleep, his brown skin is slightly wrinkled indicating he has entered old age, he carried a large-sized axe on his back and he walked towards Queen Rana with steady steps.

“Queen Rana, what is it you want to meet me?”

After hearing this, Junta got off his horse and walked closer towards the two of them, while Hako and Kou were still on their horses which were a little far away from Queen Rana.

“Salam, I am here as one of the warriors of Aruf kingdom, I want to meet you because I want to offer something to you”

“Oh, what is it?”

“Do you want to duel with the masked woman over there?”

The junta pointed towards Kou who was still sitting on a horse.

“What's in it for me?”

“If you win, then the capital of the kingdom of Aruf we will give to you without a fight”

“If I lose?”

“Then you must withdraw your troops from here and give one of the territories around the royal capital of Aruf to Queen Rana”

The tall and large man seemed to think for a moment, after a long silence of a thousand languages, the supreme commander said.

“Alright, your offer is fair enough considering that I am the commander of the supreme army of the Slyn kingdom, then I am the symbol of the power of the Slyn kingdom, and if I lose, I will be the one who will be the leader of the Slyn kingdom, then it's tantamount to dropping Slyn's royal pride, let's duel elsewhere”

As they walked away from the crowd, some soldiers immediately followed their commander after the two guards broadcast the news of the duel, the dueling spot chosen by the supreme commander was a field filled with short green grass, there was not a single tree as far as the eye could see so it was certain that no third party was hiding to help either side to win, after the supreme general was standing opposite the Junta, Kou got off his horse and approached his older brother who was standing staring at the commander.

“Kakak”

“It's time, Kou, remember, even though I said it was a duel, but honestly I just want you to beat him as fast as you can, of course if you need information about this world then gather the information you need then after that beat him”

“I understand”

“Don't forget I allowed you to use your heirloom weapon, I hope you can show me the results of your training during this”

Kou just smiled at Junta, Junta understood the intent of that smile and replied to it with a smile as well, after nodding each other's heads, Junta went away from Kou, The junta walked towards Queen Rana and Hako who were behind Kou.

“Is Kou ready for Junta?”

“Kou is always ready Queen Rana, she will give you the best”

The distance between Kou and that General was about 50 meters, the existing soldiers also started to scatter around the dueling arena to see who the winner of this duel was, of course they were cheering for their supreme commander, rather than being called a duel, this atmosphere was more like a tournament.

“Before I start this duel”

The general suddenly shouted.

“I will introduce myself, my name is General Barmun, what is your name o red-haired woman?”

Kou was silent for a moment, yesterday night, his big brother had already told him the matter of identity, they had to hide their identity because they did not know, how much power they were going to put out, Junta and Kou understand that attracting the crowd is not good, because it could be that their parents' killer is in this world, or maybe there will be people who are interested in their strength so that it interferes with the course of the investigation, that's why they wear masks and wear plain brown cloth robes.

“There is no need to know my name, General Barmun, my name is so difficult to pronounce that there is no point in remembering my name”

“So yes, fine if that is your wish

After saying that, the general wore his iron helmet armor that was carried by one of the soldiers, the soldier said, after that he took the large axe that was on his back and pointed it towards Kou with both hands, anyone who saw this would understand that General Barmun was ready to fight.

“I start”

Right after the general said it.

In just the blink of an eye, the General was already in front of Kou, he raised his axe then hit Kou with his huge axe which he held with both hands.

Kou held the big axe down with his two knives which he shaped like the letter X.

What shocked the audience was how Kou held the axe without shifting in the slightest from its original position, Kou held the large axe still like a statue.

Feeling that something was wrong, the general jumped backwards to take some distance between him and Kou.

After the General felt his distance was enough, he stopped, and right after stopping, Kou's knife shattered into pieces.

“You..”.

“Ah shit, I we this knife is a nice knife”

Junta only let out a small sigh hearing his sister say that.

“That's a knife to cut Kou meat, not to fight”

Kou just laughed a little hearing his sister say that.

“You guys look pretty confident once ya”

“Oh, sorry I'm General Barmun, it never hurts to slightly melt the atmosphere so as not to be too tense?”

After saying that, Kou smiled at his enemy who still looked very alert.

After smiling at his enemy, Kou faces back to see his older brother, Junta understands Kou's intentions, Kou is asking him for permission to take out his heirloom weapon, The junta nodded in agreement to this and Kou returned the nod with a smile.

After that, Kou turned back to face the general, Kou took a deep breath and exhaled, General Barmun felt something strange, so he raised his guard.

After finishing his breath, Kou closed his eyes and stayed like a statue, not long after he closed his eyes, a cold wind gushed forth, and there was a cold wind, General Barmun who felt threatened also began to say something that could not be heard, when General Barmun said something like that spell, his body released a light that alternated from the green light, red, orange and so on.

On the other hand, Kou was still as still as a statue, the wind that was blowing was getting louder and colder, the sun that was originally shining on them started to disappear covered in black clouds, and quickly, quickly, the black cloud covered the morning sky and made the atmosphere around as if it was about to be buffeted by a huge storm.

Not long after the clouds covered the sky, Kou opened his eyes and said.

“Oh my heirloom weapon! With this I call you according to the contract we made! Kom naar me toe!”

Lightning snatched around the battle arena after Kou said that, before it finally struck the ground near Kou.

After the lightning struck, appearing near Kou a blade that looked like a mini sword floated in the air, on the handle of the blade, there were 3 white gemstones like the color of snow, Kou picked up the knife and after he held it, it rained down.

The body of General Barmun who gave off a white light looked a little dangerous, after finishing preparing the required manpower, the General moved quickly towards Kou and then struck him with his huge axe!

Kou easily resisted the attack with just a single knife he held in his right hand.

General Barmun moved his legs to kick Kou's waist!

But Kou can easily avoid it by jumping backwards.

“Only so much your ability, ladies mera-”

Not finished saying, General Barmun felt the heat behind his back.

It turned out that it was Kou who was stabbing her right back.

After Kou stabbed General Barmun, he lifted the knife from General Barmun's back and jumped a few steps back for a distance between them.

The entire audience that was there was confused by what was happening, because all they knew was that Kou had just dodged the foot attack that General Barmun had made on him, Kou had just been in front of General Barmun and suddenly now he was already behind General Barmun, stabbing him with a knife right at his back protected by thick iron armor.

Hako was still looking at the fight with wide-eyed eyes, she was sure she did not blink in the slightest and she was very confident that Kou was in front of General Barmun earlier.

General Barmun immediately turned around to be able to see Kou's face, it could be seen from the look on his face that General Barmun himself was also confused by what was really happening.

“What's General Barmun? Does this rain bother you in this fight?”

This time General Barmun said something like a spell again, he said that quickly and after it was done, his body let out a bright red light.

Right after that.

Suddenly General Barmun was behind Kou and hit him with his axe!

The sound of a bang could be heard by the entire audience, but, General Barmun realized that his attack hit the ground so that dust was scattered around him, thanks to the rain, the dust quickly disappeared.

“I'm here General”

Kou was apparently on the left of General Barmun, not knowing when he was there when General Barmun was very sure that Kou was in front of him right before he hit him with an axe.

The fight continued in the arena, whereas on Junta's side, Hako still could not believe what she saw.

“Must be! I'm sure General Barmun has just used a martial art that can speed up his movements!”

“What do you mean the light coming out of his body is Hako?”

“Fast! Light is the result of martial arts, martial arts are not the same as magic, because magic usually produces form, while martial arts only strengthen their users by increasing strength, speed, and strength, hearing or something

“Pulling”

General Barmun read something that could not be heard anymore in a quick tone, and after he finished reading, his body let out a purple light.

　

　

”Be careful!”

Hako shouted like that and after, General Barmun appeared right in front of Kou and swung his axe from the side in order to hit Kou's waist.

But, General Barmun just cut off the air because Kou wasn't there

Right after the axe stopped splitting the air, General Barmun suddenly fell on his stomach on the ground.

And on top of General Barmun's prone body, there was Kou who once again pierced his back which was protected by armor right on the left.

General Barmun was silent for a moment.

“It's impossible! Unacceptable by reason!”

Hako shouted in a tone like crazy, fortunately the sound of heavy rain made her voice not too heard by many people.

Junta was only proud in his heart seeing how his sister had grown so well, Kou had actually trained seriously all along.

That is the power of Kou, and also, the power of his naive weapon is to be able to penetrate any armor worn by his enemy, so that, even though his enemy wears armor made of the best material though, even if the enemy wears armor, for Kou it is the same that his enemy does not wear any armor.

“I give up”

Suddenly a shocking voice came from General Barmun's mouth.

Hako and Queen Rana cheered after hearing the words of General Barmun.

Kou stood away from General Barmun who was still lying on the ground after he heard those words.

The soldiers who were there still did not believe what happened, they looked very confused and did not believe in reality.

On the other hand, Hako and Queen Rana embrace crying happily with victory from their kingdom.

After a while after General Barmun declared his defeat, the rain there stopped, the black clouds left and once again the sun shone on the place, slowly after the weather calmed down again, the blade held by Kou turned into dust and disappeared in the wind.

It didn't take long after Kou's blade had completely disappeared from both hands, General Barmun stood up and stared at Kou sharply.

“You.. Not an ordinary person, who are you really a redhead woman?”

Kou just smiled at General Barmun.

“I'm just his friend Ratu Rana”
