The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)
3.16. Academy Class (2)
The spectators are shocked. Dumbness emanated from their faces, switching one by one on the five people of the Sky Praja, facing off against the five people of the Praja Candidate. They think that this way is not balanced enough. Both from age and ability.
”Calon Praja against Praja Langit? This is a less sane way! Of course those senior disciples were much tougher and not easily defeated. Even to be balanced, it is very difficult!” chief Janewa grumbled, just like that was what all the spectators thought.
”We'll see later ...,” Commander Morraya replied, indiscriminately to the middle of the field.
"First, go ahead!"
Raojhin also returned the gazes of his five senior disciples, they were well-built and more alert. Implied from the way they stare, such as not having forgiveness for anyone who is considered a competitor. Even according to them, the students of the Candidate Praja level were not worthy of being called competitors.
“Raojhin! Raojhin!!“ chairman Sujinsha's voice spread his thoughts. Unknowingly he was daydreaming again. A glance of his gaze fell on a senior who was already in the middle of the archery arena. He throws a haughty smile.
“Continue daydreaming. Just move to the back!” have Chairman Sujinsha after so many times his calls feel ignored.
“Nun, Bintani, Humbiyin, Birrawa, Jathoyo. You guys go!” call Chairman Sujinsha to transfer to the other five students selected from the class list. Without further ado measuring the time, the five disciples hurriedly stepped forward.
“Show your best ability! Don't embarrass me, or I'll send you into seclusion!“ again Chairman Janewa grumbled at his place next to Chairman Sujinsha.
Finally, the 5 Candidates of Praja and the 5 disciples of the Sky Praja formed two rows. They lifted their respective bows and prepared in cue.
“Your target is exactly the red dot!! Exert strong power, if not .. then your arrow will bounce!” chief Sujinsha exclaimed at the ten disciples.
“Red dots! Red dot! Ignore the green!” it's exciting once again.
Far tens of meters away from those ten disciples, the circle-shaped target displaced the commonly used target. The red dot color between the green dots mingles one in a round expanse of fast-rotating wood.
“Target circle and spin fast! It was solemnly beyond the level lessons of a Warrior Candidate!!” from the audience, Chairman Janewa protested loudly at the judges judging.
“That's the target for advanced level!” commander Morraya said, only he cares about Chairman Janewa.
“This is unfair. Very This is unfair! They are still Warrior Candidate level, not advanced level, certainly will not match your student record!” chairman Janewa shouted while half running to Chairman Sujinsha's place.
“What do you mean? Want to embarrass me in front of this many people?” his breath was hunting mixed with emotion.
“What?” Chairman Sujinsha stalled for a while, “Did I just say so?”
“You deliberately want to humiliate me, practice this match unbalanced! Disperse it! Or I'll be mad!”
“No! I won't let you act as you please!!”
The cring!
Chairman Sujinsha did not lose the talk, he immediately showed the pendant from his Majesty and shook it.
“I have authority!” bantag Chairman Sujinsha firmly, not willing to give up of course.
Chairman Janewa noticed the pendant sign of special power from Paduka there held by Chairman Sujinsha, it was unexpected that the man could have it.
“You make everything wait. So, just step aside before I get even more angry!”
”You better shut up and watch!” sergeant Commander Morraya, quickly followed and withdrew Chairman Janewa's arm.
This time Chairman Janewa really could not refute any more, Chairman Sujinsha's authority was too strong with the pendant. Finally he retreated from the archery area and returned to the audience.
Then Chairman Sujinsha returned to the position near the referee. Aba-aba has begun.
“Thanks Bow!!!”
“On the count of three. Siaaap!!!” further referees followed the preparedness of ten disciples in their positions.
“One .... two ..!” each quick breath and heartbeat strains Nun, Humbiyin, Kancha, Jathoyo and Birrawa. Sweat pours from Nun's forehead, she's the most reliable. The other four were much more awkward.
“Three!!”
The first arrow shot from each bow and then struck the target, but it was not finished just once. The Referee immediately repeated the second and third cues until finally three arrows had deployed each disciple. In total, 30 arrows struck the target which slowly stopped spinning. After that, the judges head for the target and calculate the result.
“14 black arrow in red dot, 1 black arrow in green dot. And 10 white arrows on the green dot and 5 other white arrows bounced outside!”
The results disappointed Chairman Janewa and the audience. Since the brown arrow was an arrow belonging to a Soldier Candidate disciple, it meant that there were 10 that hit the green dot and the other 5 missed. In conclusion, 15 brown arrows belonging to Nun, Humbiyin, Kancha, Birrawa and Jathoyo, have failed to reach the maximum target.
Chairman Janewa's embarrassment was not over yet, plus the boisterous crowd was unceasingly responding to the bad results of the 5 Warrior Candidate disciples. Some sneered, laughed, scorned, even spit. Chief Janewa was solemnly made like a beard fire. But he was unable to do anything to maintain his true name as the Headmaster in Tanapura.
