“How is it possible that the intent of an initiation fighter can be that difficult to manipulate?” muttered Dirman who was answered silently by the other five people in the room.
“General, in the last moments I tried to manipulate Munding intent, something felt strange. No matter how big the intent I send, everything seems to disappear without a trace,” said Aisah.
“I also felt it,” replied Dirman short while thinking of something.
“I have some assumptions regarding the condition of Munding,” said Dirman after being silent for a while.
“The first, Munding is an initiation stage fighting wolf with incredible potential. Even from the info I heard, his talent exceeded that of his teacher. So we know how strong Munding's instincts and self-awareness are. We have no doubt about it.”
“The second one, we all know what a wolf fighter's journey looks like. Awakening when we make the first contact between self-awareness and instinct. Initiation is when we make a priority choice between self-awareness and instinct. Manifestation as we unite self-awareness with instinct.”
A sentence that is short and simple but of course will make a stir all fighters who walk in the way of wolf fighters.
How Munding used to struggle so hard to understand the meaning of an initiation process. How up to this moment, Munding also has not managed to find the instructions given by Om Leman many years ago about the stages of manifestation.
How confused Munding when he faced with the initiating fighters from the military who put forward his logic rather than instinct but still managed to also be initiated. While according to Munding's understanding so far, the right way to reach the initiation stage is to trust his predatory instincts even above his logic or self-awareness.
Munding and also the initiating fighters who become his colleagues from the Red and White team may never know that the initiation process is just a process where we determine what is most important and will be the guidelines we make decisions in the face of life and death choices.
But right now, Dirman is saying it as if it were common knowledge. Which should be known by everyone. There are thousands of wolf fighters out there who are confused and trying to find their way.
But all that was so, the senior fighters with the highest stages like the six people in this room knew for certain that a fighting wolf had to understand its own path. They also know, say, Dirman or one of them tells everyone about this secret. Not necessarily they will be able to climb to the next stage.
Knowing and understanding are two different things.
A fighting wolf must understand its own path if it is to rise to the next level. The teacher will only show the way while the student is required to travel alone.
That's the way of a wolf.
Dirman continued the discussion he had to try to resuscitate Munding.
“Third, we know that there are cases where instinct will prey on self-awareness. This often happens when a wolf child will do a awakening into a fighting wolf. We call him berserk, and the victim will be executed because he no longer has self-awareness.”
“But, it is very rare for berserk cases for wolf fighters who have successfully carried out the awakening process. Because basically, when we manage to awaken, instinct has become an inseparable part of a wolf fighter.”
“Moreover for the wolf initiating fighter. Berserk conditions are almost impossible. Unless several conditions are created simultaneously. First, he had to choose instinct as his priority. The second, created a condition, due to the influence of the surrounding environment, his instinct strengthened suddenly and was followed by a significantly weakened self-awareness in the same time.”
“And I heard Munding had experienced this,” continued Dirman.
“Dirman, stop lecturing and immediately tell your analyst. I was tired of waiting and thinking from earlier,” shouted Nasution breaking the silent atmosphere in this room.
The other four people only smiled wryly at Nasution's screams that broke their concentration. Dirman only snorted his breath at his partner for decades then he took a deep breath.
“My analysis leads to one possibility. What if, in times of emergency, when Munding faced a very life-threatening danger, his instincts took the decision to forcibly swallow Munding's self-awareness as a form of self-rescue. Like a clam clenching its shell when it feels threatened with danger,” said Dirman.
A silent atmosphere was then created within the room.
“But, if that's the case shouldn't Munding experience berserk?” ask Mr. Yai suddenly.
“Smart!!” dirman replied while patting Mr. Yai on the shoulder.
“But, what if, from the beginning, Munding's instinct did not want to swallow Munding's self-awareness at all but wanted to protect it by assimilating it. Want to blend in with him. Munding instinct naturally begins the process of unification with Munding's self-awareness,” said Dirman who increasingly looks brighter face, as if he increasingly believes that his assumption is getting closer to the truth.
When it got to this point everyone in the room took a deep breath and subconsciously they all muttered one word simultaneously.
“Manifestation!”
And they immediately shuddered in horror at the thought of a fighting wolf making it to the stage of manifestation at the age of just under 25. Munding will be the youngest manifestation fighter in Indonesia, perhaps even in Asia.
If that is true, Munding will be one of the fighters who dominate all the other fighters born in his era.
“OK, don't be too happy just yet,” said Dirman breaking the delusion of the people who were in the room.
“You forgot there is one more important aspect when a wolf fighter tries to pass the manifestation stage?” ask Dirman.
A bucket of ice water felt splashed into the heads of each person here after hearing the question just now. How excited they were when they found out that they were witnessing the birth of a very young and potential manifestation fighter.
“Concept,” replied Mr. Yai with a bitter smile.
Dirman chuckled as he looked at Mr Yai's bitter smile, “Ahmad, why is your smile like that?” dirman was half joking.
Everyone, except Aisah, who was in this room then chuckled while looking towards Pak Yai.
Ahmad Hambali, a genius fighter of his era, failed to step into the stage of manifestation because of his concept. Therefore, everyone knows why Mr. Yai smiled bitterly while speaking just now.
