Night Eagle Swordsman

The Match Begins

"I'm sorry Puguh sassy asked, teacher," said Puguh who was very sorry to ask his teacher.

"No problem. Now we rest first," replied Ki Dwijo who immediately sat cross-legged at the base of a large branch. A moment later, he was drowning in a medley.

Not waiting for long, Puguh moved to a branch that was not too big that was next to his teacher.

Then with a hanging position on his legs that hook the branch, Puguh was immediately entered into the world of meditation.

Finally, they both dissolve in their respective meditations until the morning.

In the morning, the sun has not yet revealed its light. But the sky was bright and bright. Birds began to wake up from their sleep.

Puguh who also woke up, saw his teacher was no longer in his place last night. Then Puguh moved to the branch that his teacher used to sit, the larger branch to stand.

Suddenly Puguh heard the teacher's voice, "You're awake too ngger ?"

Not yet the voice was finished, Ki Dwijo had arrived in front of him with a forest chicken and fruits.

"You go there," Ki Dwijo said as he pointed one way, "There is a small river, you can clean yourself up there."

"Good teacher," replied Puguh who immediately shot towards the direction his teacher pointed out.

When Puguh returned from cleaning himself, Ki Dwijo had finished burning the forest chicken he had brought.

Then they immediately ate. In Puguh's heart also shaved, as long as he joined his teacher, he did not feel hunger anymore. Although what his teacher cooked was not as good as the food he had eaten at the Pandan Ireng Academy.

In front of the Duchy of Langitan, there is a large field. On the field stood five large stages with ten by ten meters each.

One stage in the middle is made taller than the four stages that surround on all four sides.

Outside the five stages, in the front row, there are seats for guests and spectators.

The seats are mostly filled with guests.

In the row of chairs facing the front of the main stage, it is intended for guest guests from the Academy. While the row of chairs facing the side of the main stage and some behind the stage, intended for guests from Padepokan Padepokan or individual.

Seen in the row of guests from Padepokan, present Padepokan Tiger Beetle, Padepokan Kartika Murda, Padepokan Argo Langking, Padepokan Samodra Prana.

At the backstage, there were also individual participants who did not come from a padepokan or from the academy. Usually from family or students of free warriors who are not bound by a paddle.

The one sitting in the row of seats behind the main stage, there were also those who came just as spectators. Their number is even more than individuals or free warriors who send their representatives to participate in martial arts matches. Including Ki Dwijo and Puguh who also sat in the row of guest chairs.

In one row of chairs for guests of Kademangan, seen the group from Kademangan Pandan Ireng led directly by Ki Ageng Pandan Ireng. Beside Ki Ageng Pandan Ireng look Den Bagus and Den Roro. Behind them stood about ten soldiers escorting them.

Beside their entourage, they saw the Kademangan Pagelan group who yesterday met with Puguh and Ki Dwijo. The group is led by Janu. Representatives of Kademangan Pagelan are also two people, namely twins Wuri and Woro.

Coincidentally, Kademangan Pandan Ireng was good friends with Kademangan Pagelan, so his son Ki Demang also knew each other.

"Where is your other brother ?" ask Wuri.

"Only we, the vice president of Kademangan Pandan Ireng," replied Den Roro Nastiti.

"Isn't there another one, that small-bodied rather skinny ?" woro said, "Our kemaren came here together. He's with us, on the train. When the guy in the train I had time to ask, he said from Kademangan Pandan Ireng."

While Den Roro Nastiti was still confused by what was told by Woro, arriving at the main stage had already begun the show.

The event was opened by Raden Tumenggung Suryo Langit, duke in the Duchy of Langitan. He hopes, in this martial game appeared the seeds of swordsman seeds who are willing to enter the army and later can occupy an important position in the army.

Meanwhile, the Duchy of Langitan itself also sent its representatives in martial arts matches.

Completed the welcome from the Duke of Daden Tumenggung Suryo Langit, followed by the random drawing of participants by several senopati duchy soldiers and the subordinates of the duke who had a fairly high silat science.

After the draw of the participants, the martial match immediately began. Immediately attention moved to the four stages surrounding the main stage, as the martial arts match was about to begin.

The participants of the match themselves are divided into groups. Of the number of participants, each group consisted of ten participants.

Participants in a group, meet each other and compete. Then a ranking order is made of the participants who have the most competitive wins. Each group will be taken two participants with the most number of winners, so in the final match there will be eight participants who will be drawn.

The matches on all four stages were running until the afternoon non-stop. Until then obtained eight participants who managed to become the winner of the fight in each group. Among the eight people were Widura from Padepokan Tigers Kumbang, Argani from Padepokan Tapak Arga, Hestama from Padepokan Kartika Murda, Mada from Padepokan Samodra Prana. From the Duchy of Langitan there were Prabawati and Raksanala. While the ones from the free swordsman there are Kawung Jenar and Jati Kartika.

The ones from Kademangan no one escapes, because actually those who represent the academy are also students of the padepokan earlier.

Because it has obtained eight participants and also the day is late at night, the martial game continues tomorrow.

All spectators and participants of the match disbanded. Including Ki Dwijo and Puguh, the two of them also moved from their seats.

"Ngger Puguh, if you want to meet your friends and acquaintances, go. I'm waiting in the last place" said Ki Dwijo.

"True teacher ?" puguh said surprised with excitement, "Thank you teacher."

"Go away," Ki Dwijo said again with a smile looking at Puguh who seemed to be very happy.

Then Puguh turned around, and rushed away towards the row of participant chairs from the academy.

Arriving at the row of audience seats, Puguh has not found the entourage from Kademangan Pandan Ireng or from Kademangan Pagelan.

Then Puguh tried to go down the big road, hoping to meet a group he knew.
