The Blue Swordsman

Venture

In the midst of the population at that time was growing a rumor, about the coming of a man who supposedly predicted would be able to bring peace and prosperity to this country. The prophecy told by the generations tells the story of the birth of an invincible great warrior who can unite all the people in the country.

But until now the prophecy has not been proven at all, because every ruler who ruled the country so far has not been able to bring unity and prosperity. When the king of Widyatmaka who ruled although it could give a little peace to his people, but considered the people are still not able to bring prosperity to all corners of the country. So that still allows turmoil that eventually causes rebellion.

When finally the current power fell into the hands of King Prabaswara the people are now even more worried about the future of this country. Some people can already feel the possibility that will happen after seeing things that seem to be being planned by the ruling party. The worst possibility is that the King is trying to build up the power to run a ruthless dictatorial government, a tyranny that will make the people even more miserable by being strangled by very high taxes. Because of the fear of the possibility, people can now only resonate with a small hope, about a prophecy that is expected to happen soon.

The issue continued to spread throughout the village and grew more and more along with the events that occurred around the village he passed. It has even now reached the city of Kanigara, the city that is currently the seat of government. Since King Prabaswara established the city as his residence, around the city has been built a fortress wall as a refuge. The construction of the wall appears to be still in the completion stage, it is seen with the still existence of construction workers who appear to be working on the wall.

Inside the city clearly visible differences in the lifestyle of its residents. The city is more neatly arranged compared to other villages, both the houses of the residents, where the business is also the market is set so that it does not look elemental to the chaotic commonly seen in the village.

It was dry season, the sun was so hot. In a shop saw some people who had finished enjoying a drink while chatting, they seemed to be talking about something.

" Have you heard?" Said someone who looked the oldest.

"About the prophecy?" The answer to that question was said by another.

"Yes, he said in a village there was a very strong young man, the young man according to what I heard could defeat dozens of soldiers easily"

"But what's just because of that he's referred to as the man in the prophecy?"

"Come away, because it seems like people already believe that"

"If it's true where he is now, how come there's no more news of him?"

"Some say he's deepening his knowledge, others say he's building strength and looking for followers"

"Is he really that strong?"

It seemed that the soldiers had heard quite a bit about the prophecy's rumors, and from what they had heard, as well, it is very clear if the issue is exaggerated by some people who deliberately to raise the expectations of the population.

"Chuck... What prophecy !?" Said the savage-looking soldier while spitting on the floor it seemed that he was fed up with the issue.

"Yes, really people are so stupid to believe in that empty prophecy.hahaha.." Said the others while laughing at the people who had left.

"Indeed, when the young man only killed two of our men, but you heard what people said, they said dozens of soldiers, some even said one division he managed to defeat, you know..!" the anger clearly made his face more violent all the anger he vented by pounding the table. His voice was loud enough to make the entire store shocked. The conscious shopkeeper immediately approached them as he said fearfully "Is there anything you want to order?"

"Yes get us a drink.quick up !!" The soldier replied rudely.

The owner immediately forwarded his order to the waiter and immediately gave palm wine to the soldiers. The atmosphere was calm again as the soldiers began to enjoy drinking.

The unstoppable issue finally reached the ears of Patih Pramana, he was embarrassed by the issue that was growing further in the community. It seemed that he prevented the news from reaching the King's ears, but no matter how much he tried in his heart he was sure that King Prabaswara had heard the news. Not wanting if the issue further developed and disrupted the stability of security, he immediately gave direct orders to arrest the young man who became the center of the issue.

So an official announcement was made that was immediately distributed, an announcement in the form of a competition was written on wooden boards and installed in strategic places. The competition, which was accompanied by a rough sketch of Rajendra's face, read :

" Who knows the whereabouts or who succeeded in capturing Rajendra alive or dead, then he is entitled to a prize of 100 gold pieces ".

With the installation of the official competition it clearly makes some people tempted by the promised gift. An enormous gift that might be unimaginable they could have despite working all their lives. The competition of course invited the interest of several silat colleges which at that time recognized its greatness.

There were at least four major colleges that at that time expressed their interest openly, so it was ordered that some students who were considered qualified to win the competition.The four colleges were: White Lion, White Lion, Silver Lightning, Iron Claws and Palm Sakti. from the four White Lion colleges are considered to have a greater chance, because indirectly they are considered to be the largest and strongest. Although the fight between universities was rare but hearing the name of the White Lion alone at that time was enough to make people feel daunted.

Ragnala from the White Lion college seemed to get the opportunity to go looking for Rajendra and try to win the competition, Ragnala was already quite known as a reliable swordsman at that time. His name is already famous among the warriors, he is quite respected because he is still fairly young age has managed to master the full knowledge in the White Lion college. So with some of the other disciples soon left to find the person in question in the competition, they were determined to hunt down Rajendra.
