Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 19 - Wolves part 1

Badrun then recounted in detail and vivid detail the events of that night, ranging from Munding who smiled while beating Saud to unconsciousness, until when he shouted himself and when Munding did a T kick that threw his colleague 3 m away to the next stall.

“Which might be like that!! You said that snot boy could kick Kirun up to 3 m?? You were drunk that night?” saud shouted in protest at Badrun's story.

“Saud, shut up!! Badrun try to repeat again from the boy move and attack your friend Kirun,” said Suprapto.

Badrun repeated his story again. Suprapto's face is getting more and more look not funny. Suddenly an old story that he desperately wanted to bury and forget tried to re-create in his memory.

“This is my last question, I ask you to answer honestly Badrun!! What did you feel when you saw him after attacking Kirun and what do you think he was thinking? Remember, honestly I said!!” suprapto said firmly.

Badrun took a deep breath, in fact he did not want to remember the events of that night, the most frightening events for him. Not just scary when he saw a horror film that will then be easily forgotten.

It's a lot deeper than that. This is fear at its most basic instinctive level, which has to do with its own survival.

Fear of a prey when it encounters its predator.

“Nand, sorry in advance, to be honest, that night was the scariest night for us, we had nightmares for a few days because of that incident,” Badrun said as he took a breath, “we three had a discussion about the incident and we had the same opinion, when we saw the look in his eyes, we did not see a human, we saw a predator who was staring at his prey. He did not consider us-we are the same species as himself.”

Saud immediately shouted at Badrun's words, “what kind of answer is that? You think this is a movie? Where is that!!! Here let me find him, let me put the head of his brain,” shouted Saud more loudly in the room Mr. Kapolsek Sukolilo.

“Shut up you Saud!!! I think you're starting to forget where you are!! May I remind you again?” Suprapto, who seemed to be losing patience with Saud, shouted while pointing at Saud's face.

“Badrun, are you sure that's what you and your friends feel?” ask Suprapto.

Badrun just nodded his head slowly. Suprapto felt his head swirling, if it was true what Badrun said, this matter was more complicated than he had imagined.

Suprapto glanced at Saud, “what did you do for a few days before the boy came looking for you?”

“No Ndan, we do what we normally do,” Saud said.

“Try to remember again,” said Suprapto slowly.

Saud tried to remember aloud under Suprapto's eyes, after a while Saud looked happy because he remembered something.

“Indeed there was one Ndan, I hit the head of an old man in the market using a bottle of drink. I heard his head was leaking and he got into RSUD because of it,” Saud said.

“What are his characteristics and why did you hit him?” ask Suprapto.

“He's just an ordinary old geezer, wearing a sarong and a peci, kind of want to go kondangan. Actually there is no special reason, I just do not like to look at his face,” said Saud without guilt.

Wuuttt. Buakkkkkk.

“Aduuuuhhhhh,” Saud groans who were suddenly hit by an ashtray throw from Suprapto.

“I also don't like to see your face, so I threw an ashtray. You have no brain!” suprapto said after throwing an ashtray in front of him upon hearing Saud's explanation.

“Ndan..” said Saud was trying to explain himself.

“Go you!! Let me think of finding the solution,” Suprapto said.

“Could it be in a remote place like Sukolilo this there are ‘Wal’ roaming?” murmured Suprapto to himself.

The young Suprapto and his friends are very happy today, they managed to complete their education and now just wait for the allocation of their assignments. But they would never have expected that today they would experience something that would greatly affect their lives.

Suprapto and their army comrades were gathered in one room by their instructors, in front of them stood a man dressed in military attire. One beam was seen on the man's arm. A rank that might be far below that of Suprapto and his comrades.

“My name is Umar, no need to wonder about my identity. Maybe this is our first meeting and I hope for the last time,” said the man who started the briefing today.

“You will soon be assigned to the outside world and today my job is just to tell you that there are people out there who live among us but have a different way of thinking to us,” says Umar.

“Those with full awareness do not at all consider that the laws and norms applicable in this country apply to him."

"They also consider themselves to be at another level in the food chain compared to others. They are predators and the people around them are just prey.”

“Because of that way of thinking they will not feel guilty when committing unlawful acts, including killing others. For them it is a natural thing to do, just as natural for a wolf to eat a sheep or a tiger to eat a rabbit.”

“The condition of self-awareness they have after placing them in predatory position makes them have actual advantages over normal people. They think, act and behave without seal restrictions from the norm.”

“We call them by the appellation ‘Wal’.”

“The lowest castes of the Wolves are the heavyweight criminals who deliberately commit murder with both their hands. And they feel absolutely no guilt for their actions."

"Remember, in his eyes, you guys are just ‘domba’, could a wolf feel guilty when killing a sheep?” tanya Umar who was greeted quietly by the whole room.

“When they are self-conscious and put themselves as predators, they can act brutally, ruthlessly and mercilessly while performing their actions. The medical world calls them psychopath.”

“But they are just the lowest caste of the Wolves. They already have self-awareness but are not supported by the physical capabilities that support to make an effective predator in the middle of the hunt."

"They only have ‘mental state’ a predator.”

“The highest castes of the Wolves are those who achieve self-awareness of being a predator through training their physical and martial abilities. They practiced martial arts systematically and purposefully until they eventually became stronger than normal people."

“As they become stronger that's how they feel ‘different’ with others and eventually level up in the food chain to be a predator.”

“At first, they already have above normal physical abilities, when they become wolves, they will become stronger and faster. Far from what you can imagine.”

Suprapto and his friends were stunned, they never imagined that stories about people with superpowers were not just a figment. They're real.

“Omong empty what is this? We don't believe there are superhumans in real life. You're just a soldier, I won't believe your words,” said one of Suprapto's contemporaries.

Umar smiled, “my job is just to tell you, it's up to you to believe what you want, those ‘wala’ are not superhuman like in tivi as you imagine."

"They are still like us. They are only much stronger than normal people and do not at all consider the laws of this country or the laws of any country to apply to him.”
