“You better practice 1 movement but repeated 1000 times compared to 1000 moves but only done 1 time.”
Those were the words of Pak Yai that sounded in Munding's head at this moment. Without boredom and saturation, Munding continued to swing his punch towards the trunk of the mango tree wrapped in the rope.
On the first day Munding stayed at Mr. Broto's house, Munding had asked permission to use the orchard at the back of his pavilion to practice silat and Mr. Broto allowed it. The next day, Munding immediately searched for the items he needed and prepared them for his silat training.
Silat training that once felt painful and boring, for Munding which is now something that has become a habit. And even as he swung his punches over and over again, Munding entered a state where his mind became clearer and emptier.
There was only a number like floating inside his head and becoming a counter how many times he had already swung a punch. All the things that previously felt burdened his mind and made him feel heavy were gone.
There were only numbers, punches and a mango tree trunk in front of him.
When the number on his head reached the count of 100, Munding would replace the movements he trained. From a right hand punch, to a left hand punch, from a punch alternated with elbow, from a elbow then into a kick, from one kick to another.
When Munding felt exhausted, he would stand up for a while then close his eyes and take a deep breath.
After that, Munding will resume his training, until all the silat movements taught by Pak Yai he trained with repetition 100 times. The number is less according to Munding's own thinking.
But it was all due to the limited time he had. Today, Munding uses the time lag between dawn prayers and breakfast time to practice. He only had enough time to do 100 repetitions for each movement.
Compared to what Munding did while in prison, it was far from enough. With all the time he had in his prison cell, Munding was able to perform thousands of repetitions for each of his silat movements.
At present, Munding takes approximately two hours to rehearse repetitions in the morning. He chose to practice the technique in the morning and did strength training in the afternoon. Do push ups, sit ups, pull ups, squats, planks and all the strength building exercises she knows.
Munding glanced at his watch. The watch Ambar bought some time ago and now time has shown at 06:20, two hours less than the dawn.
He walked towards the pavilion that became his room and residence to bathe and change into his school uniform. After that Munding will go to the main house for breakfast with the Amel family.
When Munding had entered his pavilion, there was a soft laughing sound from some girls who had from this morning had indeed noticed Munding who was busy training. They are Mr. Broto's housekeeping assistants who may not have any work in the morning today.
Munding realized their existence on his third day doing the exercises in this back garden. At first it was just a girl who accidentally saw him training, over time many other girls who came to see.
Now, it is the routine of the girls to pay attention to Munding silat exercises in the morning. Munding let them go, as long as they didn't interfere with his training.

Unbeknownst to Munding, a lot of movement took place in the underground world last night. Many criminal gangs began to find out about the existence of a high school student with abundant treasures in his hands.
Criminal gangs can form in various forms. The most common of course motorcycle gangs such as MinMaks formed by Bram or Kupu Mas formed by A Long. But there are several other criminal gangs formed due to different factors.
There are criminal gangs that are territorial, they hang out and gather because they live in the same area then form their own gang according to where they live. After that they made the boundaries of their gang territory and committed criminal acts there.
There are North Coastal gangs that control the area along the north of Semarang city and along the arterial road there or SeTan gang that controls the South Semarang region. And there are many other territorial gangs, ranging from small gangs of residential complex class to those with big names control several sub-districts.
No less sinister of course the gang formed due to martial arts hobbies. They are not ‘geng’ in actual terms. But because of the upbringing of confidence and the supremacy of the flow, that their martial arts are the greatest, make them gather and unite into a powerful horde.
Moreover, they are indeed a group of people who gather in a dojo with one goal, become stronger and better at fighting, of course they will have an attachment that is not inferior to the real criminal gang.
And because of A Long, most of the gang leaders and gangs finally found out the truth about the status of Munding in the family home of General Broto Suseno.
A worker without family relationships.
Without thinking long, Bram immediately took action on the second day Munding entered this SMU. But what Bram does not know, besides him, it turns out that there are many other gangs that monitor the movement of Munding since the school started this morning.

Fariz sat in the back row. His full name is Salman Al Farizi. Nice name and islamic. He is a karateka. Someone who practices karate. Kyokushin Karate.
Fariz got information about Munding's identity from someone who bought it from A Long. The man tells Fariz, because he knows Fariz is Munding's classmate.
Since the introduction incident yesterday morning, Fariz has been interested in Munding, not because of his property. But as a player, he knows that Munding also has enough supplies to defend himself.
It was then that he exuded an intent towards Munding. Intent to try Munding. The intention to challenge Munding one-on-one to prove whether the new boy can provide meaningful resistance for him. A karateka who no longer has a rival in his own dojo.
