The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)

22. Special Praja

Once, there was a discussion between Taja, Lorr En, Purwa, Yuangga, Rambiloto, Winara and Kaninggaluh.

“Raojhin. He came to Tanapura a year ago. Silent and enigmatic. No one was friends with him at the time. Everyone did not know what reason he was accepted by the Unity of Praja, except Chairman Sujinsha. But over time, Raojhin proved his ability to excel in every training, his points scores soaring high. Within a year, he had managed to reach the Dragon Class. In the past, he was from the Kancil Class. Now, he became the pride of the Tanapura Praja Union. Every time there is an inter-sect match, he is always included to represent Tanapura.”

Rambiloto explained wide enough to Taja about the king named Raojhin.

“He always gets the top 3 champions in every competition, against senior competitors!“ Purwa slapped from his bed.

“At first, Raojhin often becomes a banter, underestimated by many nosy princes like Bintani,“ said Rambiloto.

“If Raojhin can be superior, why don't we?” suddenly Taja compared the success of Raojhin. As he looked out of the open window, some students were practicing martial arts in the lower courtyard of the dormitory. It was already not the first sight every afternoon like this. Caught by his vision, the senior kings paced the corridor to the public library after the training ended.

“Why do we always relax and feel good in the room? Why are we not like them, actively practicing and busy ourselves to face the test later?“ tanya Taja switched the topic of conversation around her own team.

“See those kings! Not going through every training schedule,“ added Taja pointing down the court there. Simultaneously, eleven Kancil team members followed to the window just like Taja did. They were observing the kings who were practicing martial arts down there.

“It's a holiday, ‘kan?” this time, Kaninggaluh responded to the origin only.

“Every day for you is a holiday,” Taja quipped.

“While they are, there is never a word of holiday. Always active in training,” timpal Rambiloto sided with Taja, began to compare the kings outside the Kancil team.

“They have true spirit and ideals,” Yuangga chimed.

“Where have we been, where have we been?“ taja asked without any surprise because it was so the White Kancil team that relaxed, more appropriately called the lazy team.

“Actually I also want to be a preteen. But I don't know, every time I try, I'm always made fun of,” said Kaninggaluh opening his voice, representing his busy friends stunned. They were almost without a word of resignation without a response. Unless you look at the eyes of observing the kings there busy practicing.

“I am too!“ added Purwa.

“Repeatedly our times were underestimated, we finally really snapped!“ Winara.

“I remember the worst time of the exam last year after 4 weeks we desperately rehearsed, but they laughed at our performance. They said ...,” for a moment Yuangga did not continue her words.

“We are deaf and dumb!“ keep Winara continuing Yuangga's sentence.

“Who said that?” ask Taja.

“Who else? The teachers, coaches and kings of the superior team here,” replied Winara.

“Then why do you care about them? If you fail, you must try again. Still failed as well, try again as long as the breath is still in the body. Prove that you are not a stupid king with his toys,“ respond Taja encouraging.

“But, for too long in banter and underrated, we got embarrassed. I was thinking, maybe not talented as a king," Yuangga sounded pessimistic.

“Then you will let them act like that against you? Till when? During your life or lifetime? Achieve so they stop insulting. Prove that their teasing is not true!“ reply Taja firmly.

“Yes, as it is now. Who will train us beyond compulsory training? Who would be willing to lend books of knowledge and weapons other than a public library? All the books in the public library we needed were almost completely borrowed by the other kings before we got them. Then we should how?“ sahut Yuangga.

“Unlike Bintani or Birrawa. They have a father or a noble family background. I have a lot of personal trainers. Just ask, help will come. But us?“ both of Rambiloto's arms stretched out and his shoulders slightly raised.

I see a burden in my friends. It is true everything that is said. During this time, Kancil was only one squad that was ostracized and had no rank.

“If I could choose, I would rather be a farmer. I don't want to be a soldier like this. If one day your Majesty calls me to war, then I am prepared to carry a knife or termite, then go forward and kill every enemy that is in front of me. So, there is no need to spend years to become a warrior who is always underrated!“ yuangga's words began to wander.

”Yes, you first die in the front row. While the opponent is hundreds of thousands of trained princes, whereas you are an ordinary farmer!” rambiloto Sela.

“For what are we in the Unity of Praja Tanapura if always underestimated?!“ yuangga heard him say, grumbling.

“We are less talented, but are instead ignored. They should be paying more attention to these students like us, not further ostracizing us!“ be firm, speak up.

“They are not fair!“ this time Purwa was crying. Others were surprised to see this tiny king of the smallest stature, teary-eyed.

“I don't care if they'll make fun of me, Praja Cengeng. I became a king just because I avoided the fate of being a lowly slave,“ he continued to tear up.

“Slave?” this time Lorr En spoke. He had just woken up after a long time to listen to the conversation between them. Everyone looked at him for a moment.

”What's bad about being a slave?” lorr En asked again. Almost all of them were heads.

”Servants of a lifetime are very loyal to their masters!” reply Rambiloto.

”Not so bad as it sounds,” said Lorr En scratching his head and intending to throw the ridge onto the pillow again.

”More qualified one to be your Majesty's servant, your ’anu’ must be cut!” added Kaninggaluh make Lorr En rushed up.

”What?” lorr En asked with an expression tending to be foolish rather than innocent. All hands pointed down the belly of Lorr En, the last he himself looked in the same direction.

”Hah?!” Lorr En was stunned and immediately reflexively covered that one area of his body. Taja gave a small smile seeing Lorr En's facial water suddenly reddish due to his fear.

”Don't be sad, Purwa. It is not just you who are in this weak team,“ Taja told Purwa, followed by others trying to calm the tiny king. Everyone knows that of the Kancil Team members, Purwa is the most whiny and considered weak. At least, such is the nickname of his friends, although some put a stamp on Purwa as Dream Deer.

“Crying, Purwa. It will make you relieved,” said Taja.

“I know this is a burden, but all Kancil team members should put in more effort for the success of all of us.“

"Let's fight!"
