After Puguh was next to her teacher there was a voice that asked her teacher.
"Who is that little boy, Ki Dwijo ?" ask the old man who fought with Ki Dwijo, the teacher of Puguh.
"He he he he ..... Ki Bhanujiwo, he is my disciple whom I told you yesterday, his name is Puguh," Ki Dwijo replied with a chuckle.
Suddenly Ki Bhanujiwo shot towards Puguh and his right index finger pointed to the ubun Puguh until it made a whirling sound.
Hearing the sound of bad luck and movements that threaten his sweet potato, Puguh reflexively dodged by sliding his body to the side, so that the clutter of Ki Bhanujiwo's fingers just passed beside him.
"Good !"
The voice of Ki Bhanujiwo. When Puguh saw, it turned out Ki Bhanujiwo was in his place earlier.
"Ngger Puguh, he's Ki Bhanujiwo teacher's best friend. You can call him uncle teacher," Ki Dwijo said as he rubbed Puguh's head.
Puguh approached and bowed his body in front of Ki Bhanujiwo.
"Ha ha ha ha .. What dream is your teacher, to get a student like you !" ki Bhanujiwo said while stroking Puguh's head.
Then they talked on the edge of the plain that resembled the field.
"Ki Dwijo, what's your next plan ? You're going back to your hometown ?" ask Ki Bhanujiwo.
"No Ki, I'm not going home. I will follow wherever my footsteps carry this body" replied Ki Dwijo.
"As far as you are. Clearly, this place is always wide open for you and your students" said Ki Bhanujiwo.
"Thank you Ki Bhanujiwo," replied Ki Dwijo.
They walk down the cliff. A little while later they reached the end of the field near the cliff that towered quite high. It turned out that there stood a hut that already looked reot. That shack is where Ki Bhanujiwo lives. Somewhat far away next to the hut, there was a small flowing river whose water came from the crack of the cliff.
"Ngger Puguh, can you get me some water in the river there ?" ki Bhanujiwo asked Puguh.
"Can be uncle" replied Puguh as he moved towards the back of the hut, to find a place to bring water.
Meanwhile, Ki Dwijo and Ki Bhanujiwo continued to tell the story.
"How long have you been training your student Ki Dwijo ?" ask Ki Bhanujiwo.
"I haven't trained him yet. I just opened the knot of nerve knots and blood vessels," replied Ki Dwijo.
Hearing Ki Dwijo's reply, Ki Bhanujiwo frowned in surprise.
"Don't you Ki Bhanujiwo, I who found him first was also surprised, from where the child got his strength," continued Ki Dwijo replied to Ki Bhanujiwo's astonishment.
After they chatted for quite a while, finally Ki Dwijo and Puguh returned to their place, the bend of the river nearby grew one big tree.

Day after day, Puguh passed under the guidance of Ki Dwijo his teacher. At first, Puguh was only taught to perfect his knowledge that he got from Padepokan Tiger Beetles, the science of 'Tiger Claws'.
Under the guidance of Ki Dwijo who in his youth was famous as the Swordsman of the Thousand Hands, the science of 'Tiger Claws' mastered by Puguh became many times the speed, strength and efficacy.
Ki Dwijo has just matured the knowledge that has been mastered by Puguh, and has not taught his knowledge. Because the science of 'Bantala Wreksa' requires a very large amount of strength or inner strength. While the age of Puguh is still small and has not been able to practice the science of 'Bantala Wreksa'.
But Puguh very quickly understood everything taught by Ki Dwijo his teacher.
Sometimes Ki Dwijo invites Puguh to practice elsewhere, such as on the riverbank. But sometimes also in the fast stream of the river.
Without feeling, having walked for about six months, Puguh became a disciple of Ki Dwijo. A lot has changed for Puguh. In addition to his body is quite tall and sturdy for an eight-year-old child like himself, his muscle muscles have begun to form, although his body remains a little thin.
Although Puguh never complained and said it, Ki Dwijo knew, Puguh needed friends or met someone other than himself as his teacher.
So Ki Dwijo plans to invite Puguh to travel, to add experience and hone the knowledge he has trained.
----- ° -----
One morning, Ki Dwijo invited Puguh to pack up, as they were about to go to the duchy, to see the crowd.
Coincidentally there will be a martial competition held every two years.
Niatan Ki Dwijo, at least Puguh can see the crowd. Sukur sukur Puguh there is a chance to be able to register for the match.
Out of their places, through rivers, hills and forests, they use their science of running fast. Although the level is not like the teacher, but with the technique of lightening the body he learned in the room in the tree trunk first and studied again with the guidance of his teacher makes Puguh not too missed by his teacher.
Without Puguh realizing, his teacher was also curious about the techniques he had. His teacher even predicted, if Puguh already has internal energy at a certain level, by using the techniques to relieve the body he has, most likely Puguh will be able to match his teacher, maybe even surpass him.
Not until half a day, they both arrived at the edge of a village that is quite densely populated. They stopped their run and immediately entered the village on foot.
When they began to meet some pedestrians, they both realized that their clothes both looked shabby and ugly.
Ki Dwijo also intends to buy some clothing stels for the two of them.
After looking for a shop, they finally got some pretty good clothing stels even though they were cheap.
After changing clothes, Ki Dwijo and Puguh walked along the road in the village.
Ki Dwijo deliberately passed the road in the village to find and listen to the news. Especially about martial arts matches.
When the two of them reached the crossroad to another village, Ki Dwijo invited Puguh to rest at one corner of the intersection with a large tree. Taking shelter and resting, they looked down at the road.
Ki Dwijo said slowly to Puguh.
"Ngger Puguh, look at you and get closer to the road. There will be someone passing through that crossroad in a moment, from behind us. Looks like a big group. Find out who they are" Ki Dwijo said.
"Okay teacher" replied Puguh without asking again, though his heart was a little surprised. He also has a sharp hearing, but until now has not heard anything suspicious.
But Puguh was sure, his teacher was much more powerful than him. Perhaps the teacher had heard the voice even though it was still far away.
Puguh also stood on the side of the road, waiting for the arrival of a large group as said by his teacher.
