The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)

25. The Secret Sword Scripture

"In the special library of training grounds, there are some swordsmanship" Raojhin said.

“Who's been watching us since we came?“ Taja followed Raojhin's index finger towards someone who was sitting in the front row seat of the room and had not stopped paying attention since they entered. Taja and Raojhin steal a glance from behind the shelves.

“She, Birrawa's father. Grim face. Never mind, don't mind him! Since long ago he was indeed a strange and annoying person just like his son,“ Raojhin whispered.

A moment Taja noticed the movements of the General in a neat uniform who was seriously reading his books, occasionally his eyes watched suspiciously throughout the room.

“Hey, get here!“ Raojhin pulled the arm of Taja who was still watching the general. They turned on another block of shelves.

After a moment of searching for books, Raojhin finally got a book from the largest and tallest wooden shelf. He grabbed.

“You know what this is?“ Raojhin shows the book and wants Taja to guess. But baby, Taja just shook his head.

“This is Tanapura's Secret Weapon,“ replied Raojhin.

“Isn't that an important book?“ ask Taja.

“Ya, right!” answer Raojhin briefly.

“What guard does not get angry if know we read it?“ ask Taja again.

“Of course not. I have this special permission from Your Majesty, many of whom can ‘do within the palace as I please, but not all disciples are lucky to get this thing, he said,“ said Raojhin explained as he showed the pendant once more from his pocket.

“Actually what is it?“ tanya Taja did not understand correctly.

“I became the best student of the king in 1 year and won various branches of the match in the Jawata competition, even I beat the Tanapura senior royal record. Therefore Your Majesty presented this gold locket to me,“ replied Raojhin.

“Wow, great!“ taja said amazed.

“Until now there are only 10 students who have this pendant. I'm one of them. You come with me here, then you also get permission because of me,” said Raojhin a little explained about his pendant.

The two of them each dragged down a bench, then sat down. Some time Raojhin opened the book in his hand.

“Taja, copy this book. I'll find you a sword style book,” Raojhin gets out of his chair and heads to another shelf. While Taja did what Raojhin said just now. Then he returned with two more thick books.

"Copy?" Taja doubt.

“Well! This one is the mainstay of Praja Muda,“ said Raojhin and offered the green book.

“If this one, the Satria Tanapura scripture for the last 100 years,“ Continue while tapping his index finger to the book that looks the thickest among the 3 books before them.

Taja barely blinked staring at the books, “Wah, I can study one of them for the test later!“

“Find the easiest!“

“You have 3 weeks 5 days to learn it before the exam time arrives,“ Raojhin reminded.

“Then, you alone? Do you have a mainstay for the exam later?“ tanya Taja while continuing to copy.

“Of course, but it's confidential .. You also should not know.”

“You're afraid of being rivaled by me?” guess Taja.

Raojhin laughed at her, “You may be my rival, but that's not what I mean. No one can imitate my family's special style.“

“Definitely wrong martial style in this book!“ guess Taja and hope the guess doesn't miss. But Raojhin shook his head.

Again praising, “Oh, your family must be great people,” continued Taja greeted with laughter Raojhin who was louder than before to attract the attention of many people who were there. For a moment, they were so absorbed in joking and talking about great moves that they didn't realize that anyone had been watching the two of them since in the corner of the library room.

Dusk enveloped the sky above the rear dormitory, incense sounding lute as usual at that time. While around the dormitory courtyard was also quiet from the passing students.

Others on the dormitory's dark terraces, a shadowy figure was stepping towards room 503. Arriving in front of the room, the figure entered surprisingly the children of the entire room.

“Taja, where have you been?“ lorr En asked, approaching Taja by the door. He smiled at his best friend looking panicked, “I'm looking for you everywhere," continued Lorr En began to suspect strange Taja teething.

“Do not smile. All day I was panicking and confused looking for you, but you were just delicious, from anywhere?“ ask Lorr En again.

“Don't worry.I'm fine," replied Taja

“Why not take me?” Lorr En protest.

“So you were eating in the back room, so I just stayed, after all I have to go to Raojhin myself,“ replied Taja.

“Raojhin? You met him?!" Lorr En followed Taja. Lastly, he rested himself on the edge of Taja's bed.

“He was a good student and helped me a lot,” Taja took out a scroll of ejected copies from the swordsmanship library.

“What can I get, Taja?“ tanya Yuangga, the other friends who had only seen meaninglessly since, now turned to look at Taja in front of his desk.

“This is a copy of the book of swordsmanship and secret weapons!” taja's answer silenced all who heard, some of them were very unsure if Taja could get a copy of the book.

“Where did you copy it?“ asked Kaning who looked the most astonished.

“Sword library,“ replied Taja.

“Crazy! Where do you get permission from?” ask Rambiloto.

“Together with Raojhin I got permission to go there,” replied Taja making everything so stupefied.

”Raojhin?!” almost simultaneously they called out one name.

“Is this really a copy of the original book?!“ except for Yuangga, still unsure while flipping through the scrolls. Others followed.

”Secret sword moves! Too bad, your writing is a mess, I have a hard time reading it.”

“Ha .. ha .. sorry. You guys hope you know that I can't write as well as you guys because I've only been learning to read and write and speak human language, I mean Tanapura. Unlike you guys who have studied at the People's School," Taja laughed out loud.

“What?!“ in unison Kancil's team mates were surprised, then looked at each other in surprise, “What does that mean, he speaks human? Isn't he human too?” there were whispers among his friends.

Lorr En glared straight at Taja, giving the code to immediately realize that he had just given up speech.

“Where have you two been all this time?“ chirping Yuangga was astonished, looking one by one between Taja and Lorr En.

“I've said that it comes from the west forest. And there, is a place very far from Jawata, there is no school like in your country,” Taja tried to quibble to avoid suspicion.

“Ya, right! We have never studied at a People's School like you. Previously we never wrote and read Jawata,” timpal Lorr En assured.

Hhhhh ...!!!

The four friends collapsed, while the others coughed in shock, except for Purwa, who was not struggling with his mouth gaping wide.
