Reveal The Secret's
CHAPTER 16 _ A Piece of History
Sasha got home.
Arriving at the room, Sasha immediately put her body on the bed due to fatigue.
Many days in the world of the past dimension does not change the time in the world of the original Sasha, but fatigue does not decrease at all.
“Ahh... why tired is still coming to home” said Sasha who laid her body on the bed.
After a while Sasha laid her body on the bed, she went downstairs to get some water.
When he came down the stairs he saw Father and Mother watching TV while enjoying a cup of tea. Sasha who went down the stairs with a staggering body walked slowly towards the kitchen.
“Sasha, are you okay” asked Mom.
“Yes Mother, Just a little tired, ” replied Sasha.
After Sasha picked up the cold water in the fridge, Sasha walked up to Mom and Dad who were watching television.
Dad asked Sasha for the school entrance test at Akibara High School.
Previously Sasha received a vocational book from the principal of Akibara High School. The Akibara High School test is three days away. To this day Sasha is almost finished studying the book on language literature given by the previous principal.
For education in school, Sasha does have a good intelligence at this age.
After a while after chatting with Father and Mother, Sasha returned to her room to continue to study the book on language literature that the principal had previously given her.
Arriving at Sasha's room…
“Three more days before school entrance test. I should be able to graduate with good grades” said Sasha while opening the textbook.
While Sasha was studying, Sasha's mind was still reflected in the events she had experienced in Gunma. Sasha still did not think that he could make time travel that previously he considered only a myth.
Sasha tried to feel the pressure of the energy present in her body after she finished studying a book given from the headmaster of Akibara High School.
“Guin, I want to try to activate the energy I previously learned in the past dimension. But strangely, why do I feel my energy is not so great” Sasha told Guin who was standing next to her.
It turned out that when Sasha tried some of the techniques that Sasha learned in the past dimension, Sasha did not feel any strong energy from within her body. In addition, Sasha also tried some sword techniques that he learned. Sasha picked up a piece of wood carved with a sword that was on top of the wardrobe, while trying out Sasha's first technique failed to awaken the fire sword energy that He had mastered. So were wind sword techniques as well as combination sword techniques, all of them were dysfunctional.
“Is it because I use wood, so the technique I learned cannot rise” Sasha thought inwardly.
Sasha thought of using the latter technique, which was a constellation sword technique that he got from a dimensional space that was opened by the previous Master when he finished passing the mission in the hell child volcano. Sasha was confident that she would be able to use this technique by using a piece of wood that she held.
But surprisingly, even the constellation sword technique did not work when he tried it.
“Abviously, there have been many powerful monsters that I defeated using techniques that I have previously learned, already, but why can't all this rise up now” said Sasha while looking at the piece of wood he was holding.
“It looks like your strength can only be used in the past dimension” said Guin who saw Sasha training.
“Is it like that” thought Sasha inwardly.
After Sasha's practice was wasted, Sasha decided to stop trying some of the techniques she had mastered in the past dimension and lay her body in bed tired.
Stretching her tired body, Sasha read an online comic on the phone she was holding.
Sasha reads a comic that tells the story of a legendary Japanese clan. In this comic is told one of the envoys from the Japanese clan who carried out a mission to spy on one of the top officials at that time. Japanese clans in the past were mostly professional ninjas who could get hidden missions, not even closing the possibility of one of the missions was to kill officials or people who opposed the government.
When Sasha was following the plot told in the comics he read, Sasha remembered the conditions in Gunma that were similar to the circumstances and situations depicted in the comics. Sasha thought that the Linch family was also a clan in the past that existed in the Gunma kingdom.
Out of curiosity, Sasha searches the internet about Gunma's kingdom, hoping to get some of the information she's looking for.
“Hahh. Finally” said Sasha who was looking at the phone while lying down.
In the writings that Sasha found there is evidence that there was once a kingdom called Gunma. The kingdom of Gunma existed in medieval times and stood for 500 years which was led by a King and inherited by later generations. Gunma Kingdom was a kingdom that was not too big but became one of the largest suppliers of agricultural products in its time. The kingdom of Gunma collapsed due to a rebellion that took place inside the palace. At the time of the rebellion, the last King was the victim of the rebel violence that had long waited for the King to let his guard down. The sacrificial king was named Zephyr, and he was the 20th king of the kingdom of Gunma.
“Only that much information I got. Little once” Sasha said inwardly.
After getting a very short description, Sasha became increasingly curious about the history that occurred in the kingdom of Gunma. Sasha thought that the kingdom of Gunma was not too big and also not too flashy, so it was only natural that the information on the writing on the internet did not match what was expected by Sasha.
“It looks like I have to go back to the bookstore in Gunma” Sasha said as she turned off her phone.
***
Evening arrived, the wall clock in Sasha's room showed at 21:00. Sasha was still reading the school entrance test book which was only a few more sheets away. Sasha intends to go to Gunma when she has finished her studies.
“Guin, let's go to Gunma after I learned”.
“Do you have any current affairs” asked Guin.
“Maybe this will be important later” replied Sasha.
After Sasha finished the book she studied to the last page, Sasha and Guin went to Gunma. Before Sasha goes to Gunma, Oly gives Guin a message that at this time Oly cannot accompany Sasha to Gunma.
Arriving at Gunma's market, Sasha heads to the bookstore that Sasha had intended earlier.
“Good afternoon Bibi” said Sasha greeting Aunt shopkeeper.
“It turns out you're a sweet girl” replied the shopkeeper's aunt.
After talking for a while with the shopkeeper Sasha went to the bookshelf which contained a history book about the kingdom of Gunma.
A neatly arranged book and also a lot of dust that is still attached to it is very indicative that indeed no one is interested in reading a book about history.
Sasha finally found the book she was looking for. The book about the history of the kingdom of Gunma holds many puzzles and also question marks for Sasha.
“I've got the book Guin. Let's meet Uncle Zen before returning” with Sasha.
“Alright” replied Guin.
Sasha goes to the shopkeeper's aunt to pay for her book first before meeting Zen.
“Auntie, I've got the book. How much does Bi” cost Sasha.
“Why are you so interested in the history book sweet girl, previously you read the book also kan” asked Auntie keeper.
“Iya bi, I am indeed interested in the history of this great Gunma kingdom” Sasha replied.
“Then I won't put a price on that history book. Let's just say it's a gift because you want to learn the history of Gunma” kingdom said the smiling guard's aunt to Sasha.
“True, thank you Bibi” said Sasha with a smiling face.
After Sasha got the book he was looking for, Sasha went to Zen's house, which was not far from Gunma market.
Sasha walked towards the south of Gunma village. Along the way to Zen's house, Sasha always paid attention to the activities of the villagers who were working on their daily routines.
In the atmosphere of Gunma village is calm and peaceful, Sasha feels comfortable in Gunma, Sasha felt before had lived long enough in Gunma.
With a face full of smiles Sasha walked over while looking at the little kids playing around Sasha. It is a peaceful village.
After a while Sasha walked over, Sasha arrived at Zen's house.
Arriving in front of the house, Zen was seen practicing beside the house accompanied.
“Teacher, Uncle Zen” shouted Sasha as he waved.
Zen and Guru turned to Sasha and approached Sasha.
“Sasha, is there anything important” asked Zen.
“No uncle, I was just looking for a history book about Gunma”'s work Sasha replied.
“Hehehe... although the history was recorded in a book, but ultimately not all the truth and also important history also recorded” said Guru.
Sasha was shocked to hear Master's statement. Sasha is increasingly curious about the secret hidden behind the peace of the Gunma Kingdom.
After Sasha heard a little explanation from Guru, He decided to return home to read the book he got from the bookstore at Gunma market.
“Oh yes Master, while at home I tried some sword techniques that I had previously learned, but somehow my energy felt empty, and the sword that is now on my waist also disappears if I return. Can't I bring stuff from here” asked Sasha.
“Actually you can, but not all types of items you can carry. Things that are secret will not be able to carry. Your sword technique is a secret, different from the book you currently hold, the book you can bring” explained Master.
After hearing Master's explanation just now, Sasha finally understood why as she tried to practice her body's energy did not rise up. And the items that can be obtained from completing the mission are always stored by Zen.
Sasha went back to her house with the book she got. And when he arrived at Sasha's house began to open a page from the book.
On the first page Sasha saw a painting like a map of the kingdom of Gunma, this map was like describing the area of the kingdom.
It turns out that in addition to Gunma village which is right in front of the Kingdom there are also four other villages located next to Gunma village. Kuni village and Gaki village are to the right of Gunma village, while Kiso village and Nara village are to the left of Gunma village. These five villages were right in front of the Gunma kingdom.
On the next page Sasha got an explanation about the five villages that exist. It turned out that each village had a different influence on Gunma kingdom. Gunma village is the economic center of the kingdom, Kuni village focuses on educating prospective royal soldiers, Gaki village is a village that has many great blacksmiths of Gunma kingdom, Gunma kingdom, and the village is a village that has many, kiso Village was a center for royal medical personnel who sent medicine and healers to all corners of the Gunma kingdom, while Nara village was a reliable hunter, who was a good hunter, nara villagers used to hunt animals such as deer and forest rabbits. The hunting techniques in Nara village are very unique and difficult to learn.
One of the famous of Nara village is the skill of jumping quickly and also without sound, because of this skill many Nara villagers who got a secret mission from the kingdom.
In addition to information about the five villages in the Gunma Kingdom, Sasha also got information about trade and also the relationship of the Gunma kingdom to other allied kingdoms.
In establishing cooperation with allied kingdoms, Gunma kingdom sent many of its production, namely, weapons of war from Gaki village and also drugs from Kiso village.
In the book that Sasha read there is something strange that surprises Sasha. In the history book it discusses the 7 lanterns of courage that troubled the kingdom of Gunma during the reign of the 3rd king.
In this case it is explained that who can find the 7 lanterns of courage then He will understand many secrets that exist in the world. In the book explained that there is someone who deliberately spread false news about the existence of 7 lanterns of courage. But it is unfortunate that the book does not mention who the person is referring to.
By the time the news of the 7 lanterns of courage had already spread throughout the kingdom, many people were searching for the 7 lanterns, and they had not returned until now.
The disappearance of this society was heard by the 3rd King after one month. The king ordered the entire community in 5 villages not to continue looking for 7 lanterns of courage because the news of 7 lanterns of courage was the lie of the royal traitor to trick the residents. In addition, the king also threatened to expel anyone who fought from the kingdom of Gunma.
After the King gave his order, until now the existence of the 7 lanterns had only become a story that was no longer heard.
