The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)
33. Kancil Team Exam (3)
“Where are you doing? Archery right on the trunk of a tree as far as 50 feet you can't!“
“You're wrong. Should I remind you, who ever shot red fruit in the garden behind the palace? Wh who? Who is?! Only the people!” this time Lorr En did not accept Galih yelling at Taja, ”If you keep talking about our respective weaknesses, then we ourselves will feel insecure and fail!”
Therefore, Galih did not hesitate to say it with a sentence no less sharp, “Lazy! you are nothing more than a sleepyhead!”
The atmosphere almost back tense if only Taja did not immediately dampen the anger of some of his friends because of different opinions, “Already. You want everyone outside of this room to laugh, hear us making fun of each other in our own squads?“
“That's reality! If it wasn't us, then those who would be more poking fun!“
“Yes. The reality of our weakness is not something to be believed and makes us weaker! If we have weaknesses, we also have advantages and maybe we do not know what our strengths are to this day. But we must be sure, where lies our shortcomings, that is where our advantages!” responsiveness Taja.
BRAK!!!
Everything was suddenly startled by the sound of the door being opened violently by someone who was none other than Rimpali, one of the occupants of their room. The boy's face was tense and his breathing was hunting.
“Try to see the announcement in the front corridor!” yells.
“You mean?“ taja wondered, so did the others.
“Schedule exams next month!!“ answer Rimpali harder.
Hearing Rimpali's reply, quickly the twelve children moved towards the corridor in question. Apparently, many other children were already there to see the horrendous announcement.
“Taja, we have to how?” Sayuttha looked at Taja who was observing the announcement.
“First day, Assemble Weapons! We have to design a homemade weapon, of course teams from other classes have a good plan. Then us? Do you have any ideas?“
Taja also glanced at Rimpali who had just spoken to him. But he just kept quiet.
“See! Day two, there is a Formation Show,” added Rambiloto.
“Three Days. Martial Style!“ Purwa.
“On day four, Sword Style! I won't represent this one to our Team because my sword style sucks!” Galih has not given up yet.
“Fifth Day, Horse Racing!“ welcome Rambiloto face expression Lorr En blushed embarrassed if remember that he had followed his first horse race some time ago and made him fall.
“Sixth day, Swimming in the Red Bay? What's?! Just be right. As far as I know, in that bay there is a water demon .. I don't want to come!“ purwa has been trembling again.
“Taja, you should be ready for the Archery test on the seventh day. I'm afraid you can't do well, how about I replace you?“ Lorr En offered himself.
“What? Red Bay?“ Lorr En suddenly felt wry hearing the place. From the name alone was a mystery to him, especially after he had seen it himself. Once ... after that he never thought a second time to go there. That place almost wretched him that time.
“Quiet only, only to the safe limit. It is impossible to get off track, and those water demons will not come out other than Bithari.“ day Hearing that, instead of Lorr En being relieved but getting wry.
“Nah .. That's them! Water demons! I don't want to go back into the area,“ Lorr En's face as if bent. It seems like he was very traumatized to remember the incident.
“At that time you were brave, why now fear?“
“Well! It was you, of course I was brave! But if by yourself ...,“ again Lorr En face sour, “ Anyway, I do not want! Besides, I'm afraid that later people will see me turn into a frog, I might be mistaken for a frog. If I get caught, I can cook it into soup!” Lorr En hissed heavily near Taja's ear.
“Katak? You guys said frog soup?” Sayuttha. Taja and Lorr En looked at each other, somewhat surprised and afraid in case Sayuttha caught their conversation clearly.
“Ng .. Ng .. I mean ..“ said Lorr En was wrong.
“What is frog soup good?“ Taja hurriedly interrupted and tried to divert the conversation.
“Wuiih, good not to play! Cattle Frogs, that's the most expensive food. Because the frog is the largest and most delicious in the entire Jawata, the most expensive and most sought after. It is almost as big as a rooster. Want to try sometime?” sayuttha's reply made Lorr En shudder after hearing that.
“Huek!“ Lorr En held his mouth. Not really throwing up. But hearing Sayuttha talk food from frogs, Lorr En became goosebumps until nausea.
“Why you?“ sayuttha asked astonished to see the new boy acting strangely ...
“Hey, why are you talking about frog soup? It makes me hungry!“ exclaim Rimpali who joined lined up among others. All the attention of the other children turned to him and exclaimed, “Sup frog?!”
”Yes! Just so you remember that today the lunch menu is frog soup!!” exclaim Rambiloto out loud.
In an instant they had forgotten the fear of the bulla front exam just because of the savory and famous frog soup. Yep! Frog soup is a favorite food in their country. Everyone loved it, probably except Taja and Lorr En. How could they eat frogs, if only the two of them knew that Lorr En was the fairy child of frogs. It is also impossible for Taja to eat Lorr En's compatriots, the Frogs.
“And it's lunch time, let's go to the cafeteria!“ Rambiloto triggered the others to scatter from the corridor. It was not just the White Tortoise Team and the other team children who had been huddling there since, even the hundreds of disciples who were about to see the announcement were going along.
“Horeeeee!“ yell at some who are still crammed. The atmosphere is not too bad.
“Sup kataaaaak!“ they ran and left the hall. Only Taja and Lorr En looked around them, it seemed that the atmosphere in the place was already empty of the disciples, except for the two of them who were still left behind.
“Mau tasting frog soup?“ Taja glanced and smiled amusedly before running.
“Taja, wait! Beware if you dare to eat my people!“ Lorr En chased after Taja who first ran away from the place while holding back a laugh. Now the corridor was completely deserted.
