The Adventure of the World Zetherom

Good but Evil

Varendra was still in the market, many misfortunes he encountered, from an old father who worked as a porter, starving children on the edge of the market looking for food, and there are many more that he has met. Varendra tries to help with his ability, his energy, or his hard-earned money.

"Where are your parents?" Varendra asked two young boys around the age of 4 and 6 years in front of him who were scavenging baskets of food scraps.

The two boys shook their heads.

Varendra left them for a nearby stall, buying two packs of rice given to the two young children in front of him. The two children ate voraciously from Varendra.

"Eat slowly, calm down... I'm not gonna take it from you. If less can be added, just say it." Varendra said while watching the two children.

"Are you brothers?" Ask Varendra

The two children nodded their heads.

They were done with the food. Seen an older brother cleaning up food scraps on the cheeks of his younger brother.

"Thank you for buying us food." Said the brother

"Huussh, just call me brother. Do I look old?"

"Are you two left?" Ask Varendra

They nodded their heads back at Varendra's question.

"Where? Can you play at your house?"

The two children took Varendra's hand and took him to their stopover.

Seen a slum environment around their residence. The residence that Varendra was not worthy to occupy was rickety old, almost collapsed, just enough for the shade of the two children.

"Hey boy, come here!" Shouted Varendra on the two children who were playing houses with a piece of cloth.

"Here, eat!" Varendra said while giving some candy wrappers to the two of them.

"Is sister still eating candy?" Ask the boy's sister.

"Indeed Why? Brother also has a sister like you, if fussy brother love him candy." Varendra

"So, I can't give candy to my sister." Answer the boy.

"But you always look after your sister, there beside your sister, a lot of time you spend with your sister. Brother salute you." Varendra

"Come, follow me!" Varendra said standing up. Varendra pulled the two children out of the house and kicked a fragile pole that the termites had eaten. The house collapsed with a single kick of Varendra.

"Why did you break down our house?" Ask a brother of the boy

"Where do we live?" Said the sister

"You guys look. The house is very dangerous for you, at any time it can collapse and befall you. So let's follow brother." Varendra

The two boys followed Varendra. Varendra took them to the college where they live now.

Varendra's arrival has been eagerly awaited Zays and others including the Master of the owner of the college. The two little boys were hiding behind Varendra.

The teacher looked at Varendra and scolded him.

"Sssst" Varendra pointed behind his body, the two boys coming out of hiding.

"Let these two boys in first." Varendra said to Master

Zays brought in the two boys.

"Zays, cook for me!" Varendra throws vegetables at Zays.

"Whose son did you bring?, what did you bring here for? Their parents would have trouble finding them." Guru Say

"About the two boys it doesn't matter. But you have to punish Master for skipping practice today."

"alright. What is my punishment? Look at this (displays his arm muscles) I've been strong enough to accept your punishment."

"Follow Master!"

The teacher took Varendra to a large, long room separate from the college.

"You have to get in through that room."

"Is that all?" Said Varendra who took it lightly.

"Not wrong. There are many obstacles you have to face inside. Not just relying on this (clapping Varendra's arm muscles) but also this (pointing Varendra's head). The teacher will not help you. Your life is at stake in there, and Master won't help you, remember that."

Unlike the other students who were afraid and turned around when entering the room, but not with Varendra who was curious about the obstacles prepared by Master.

"There was only one disciple who had managed to pass through it all this time. Your brother Zays." Bright Teacher.

Hearing that, Varendra was increasingly challenged. He did not want to lose to his brother.

.....

"Where did you meet my brother?" Zays asked the two boys.

"Sister?" Ask the boy

"Yes. The person you're with is my brother Varendra and I'm his sister, Zays. Tell me how you met him. Is he a bad guy? You guys get scolded by him?"

"So, it's Zays' sister, the cranky sister that the candy is loving."

"Did he say that?" Ask Zays

They nod their heads.

"Son Varendra is a good man but also a bad man. He bought us food at the market. He also kicked our house down." The brother of the boy.

"If Mr. Varendra doesn't kick your house, you didn't get here and meet this fussy brother, did you? Listen to this, it's his attitude, but he's a very good person for you. Just like you with your sister."

"Let's follow you to the kitchen, we'll cook the vegetables that Mr. Varendra bought."

......

Varendra began to enter the room before him, the front door automatically locked itself.

Small knife attacks from various directions instantly welcomed Varendra's arrival. Varendra avoided evading.

It takes flexibility and dexterity in avoiding those knives. Varendra admitted that in this case, Zays was superior, he was more agile, agile, and flexible than Varendra who stood out on muscle strength. Varendra was less quick in dodging knives from various directions that attacked him, he was scratched on his right arm which was able to make him bleed. Soon Varendra pulled out the new weapon he had. Varendra pulled it long until it became a sword. Immediately he repelled the small knife blade that kept attacking him.

Varendra moved forward slowly with a sword in his grasp.

There was a movement that Varendra felt. It turned out to be true, the left right wall was getting squeezed with sharp knife blades coming out of that wall. From the front came three spears that attacked Varendra. The arrival of the spear seemed to be intermittent at the same split second.

Varendra prepared with the sword he carried to fend off every spear that came from before him.

"1....2...3....4....5"

The spear reappeared.

"5 seconds, it took an interval of 5 seconds when the next spear appeared." Inner Varendra

After feeling more than five seconds the next spear did not appear, Varendra thought he had managed to pass this one obstacle, the two walls were getting closer and Varendra tried to run forward.

Varendra set foot on a board that was getting stepped down. Soon Varendra landed both footrests on a board. The board brought Varendra down while avoiding the two walls that were about to squeeze.
