The Blue Swordsman

Ajian Bajlasukla

Atmic Wind Search in the Birama forest which was the initial intention of Rajendra, brought him to meet the Asura Nation in the forest. Now his goal is a little distracted by a new goal of trying to learn the power of nature.

Rajendra has now spent the night trying to do the exam that Adanu has given. There were no signs at all if he was nearing success. Feeling that the wrong way he did was re-opening his eyes, and without realizing it the time had shown in the morning. "So I've been doing this futile effort for almost all day, there must be something I've missed from the lesson that Adanu gave me" He said, "I have to ask for directions". While trying to get away from her hermitage.

But Rajendra had not been able to leave his place, he saw Adanu had appeared in the distance. With a firm and definite step Rajendra noticed the figure was getting closer and closer,

"Seeing from the look on your face, it seems like you haven't been able to perform the test I gave you!" Said Adanu with a smile.

"Well that's how it is, even though I've tried to concentrate my mind and exert all my strength yet I still can't seem to hear any sound other than the rumbling of the waterfall down there" Rajendra answered while looking towards the waterfall.

Adanu laughs at Rajendra's reply, feeling that if there's nothing funny Rajendra immediately asks "Is there something wrong with my words?" by frowning his forehead.

Adanu stopped his laughter, "No, that's not it. But obviously if you don't understand my explanation yet, you still rely on the power you have. To be able to master the power of nature you must forget the power you have, do not be too stiff try to soften a little".

Rajendra was silent this time he did not want to miss a single word spoken from Adanu.

"Try to blend in with nature, try to be like water that never gives up to find a way to keep flowing. Even small drops of water can make a stone hollow. Learn how the wind even without being seen can damage this forest" said Adanu explained in length.

Still in a state of silence but this time Rajendra's eyes are full of light allusions, it seems he is starting to understand something.

After pausing for a moment Adanu continued his words "Make a calm attitude harmonize your body with regular breathing, if you can all the sounds in this forest can you hear"

"I understand now, I'll try again. I'm sure this time won't fail" Rajendra replied steadily.

She seemed to be smiling and seemed satisfied with the answer. He now sees Rajendra returning to his place on a flat stone to be imprisoned, but this time his body looks more flexible. As if understanding if maybe the way Rajendra is doing is right he went from that place.

Rajendra again sat cross-legged on a flat rock near the waterfall, but this time he relaxed his entire body. His tense attitude and concentration of energy that he did yesterday is no longer used. He began to close his eyes, calm his heart, empty his mind, felt the circumstances around him.

Rajendra still heard the pounding waterfall, now he was imagining if he was the water in the river, he could see the fish, rocks and see the roots that penetrate into the river. Then he entered the root directly up through the tree and its twigs, he now seemed to have become a tall tree, he could see the state of the Birama forest from above. And now he could hear the chirping of the birds in the branches, and he could almost hear all the sounds in the forest.

Too happy with what he just went through as if he did not want to return to his consciousness, until in his vision he saw that Adanu had been nearby. Still in blindfolded state he said "You came again apparently?"

A little surprised his arrival can be known, an unmistakable sign if Rajendra has mastered the power of nature, "So soon he studied Ajian Bajlasukla" he said in his heart. He smiled and said, "Try you open your eyes and look, now nature will definitely look different".

Although not fully understood by the intention of Adanu's words, Rajendra slowly began to open his eyes. He looked towards Adanu, then looked around but didn't realize the difference he meant, "I don't see anything different" with a slightly confused face.

"You have not seen clearly, there is no need to rush to see this nature again" said Adanu with a smile because now he had seen Rajendra's gaze panned calmly.

Still curious about the meaning of Adanu's words now Rajendra tried to look around again, he now saw a butterfly flying near him. But there was something strange about the movement of his wingspan so slowly, he could even calculate every move from the flapping of those wings. In a state of wonder he then turned his head up, looking for a bird, and he saw also if the bird was moving slowly as if he could catch the bird even though it was flying.

Rajendra then turned to look at Adanu who was watching behind him with a face full of questions, looking at the astonishment on Rajendra's face, Adanu felt more pleased "Have you seen the difference??" Ask Rajendra.

"Yes, but I'm not sure if what I saw was real" Rajendra replied, looking down as if looking for answers below.

"What can you see now"

"I feel that if everything in nature is moving slowly, even I feel able to catch a bird that is flying" Rajendra explained hesitantly.

"It is true that you have succeeded in mastering Ajian Bajlasukla" said Adanu feeling a little jealous of Rajendra's figure.

"Ajian Bajlasukla? Since when did I learn that? What does it mean that what I saw was true?" Rajendra asked a series of questions.

Adanu then explains everything to Rajendra, if he deliberately gives instructions to be able to master Ajian. But because Adanu himself has not fully mastered Ajian, he did not say if he was teaching Ajian Bajlasukla to Rajendra.

He also explained that if someone who has mastered Ajian then he will be able to "disappear" in the sense of hiding the existence of anyone. The person will also be able to see this nature more clearly, in the view of Rajendra all moving slowly, when the truth is because he is now able to move quickly.

To prove it then Adanu tried to get Rajendra to catch the dragonfly who was around them. And it turns out that it was true that Rajendra easily caught the dragonflies with his hands. Rajendra felt he was doing that with a gesture like his usual self. But in Adanu's view he saw Rajendra's misery when he caught some of the dragonflies. "Mahesa has never misjudged one's abilities" said Adanu feeling astonished in his heart.
