The Destruction of Batana

REUNION 2

The next day, I told these plans to the fourteen soldiers.

“Hei! That's too long. We don't want Captain Wan to kill another soldier. There will be many lives lost.” Said one of the soldiers.

“I haven't finished explaining my plan. As long as I'm out of town, I'm asking you to build an army. I want you to join the rebels, convince some soldiers and do it without the mayor's knowledge until I return.” I tried to convince them.

They all think. Digesting my sentences.

“How long are you going to go?” Ask the other soldiers.

“Give me two to three months. If I have not returned until the deadline specified, you may act as you please.”

They approve.

I'm headed to Vero and Bundara's. Luckily, Jora happily drove me, she had a loyal personal driver take her everywhere. I don't have to bother taking public transport or borrowing vehicles.

I'll go to Bundara's residence first. The place is not too far away. Just half an hour's drive away, I've arrived at his house. The house looks small with walls that have been dull. Some of the windows had already broken and the courtyard was very messy. I rushed to knock on the front door. But when I knocked, the door opened itself. Creaked.

“WHO'S THERE?” There was a loud noise coming from inside the house.

Of course I recognize that voice. Bundara, he approached the living room wearing only a white shirt that already looks dirty. His right hand held an iron rod. His eyes were surprised to find that I was on the door.

“Gosh! I thought it was you, Lian!” Bundara laughs. His body moved.

Now his gaze was on Jora who was standing behind me. She's surprised. Respectfully bowed. “Nona Kei, sorry for my sassness. Please login.” Bundara misbehaved. His face looks clumsy.

“I can't mince words, Bundara. I'd like to invite you to join my mission.” I put on a serious face.

“Mission?” His black eyes are round. To be honest, he looked more glaring than surprised.

I'm nodding. “I want you to join the RP-2 extermination mission. We'll travel out there.”

Bundara is thinking. Holding his chin. “If Miss Kei bothers to come here, that means that this mission must be very important. Of course I can't resist it, Lian. I miss seeing the outside world anyway. Tired of staring at the ceiling with rubble. Maybe this trip could help heal the wounds in my heart.”

Jora who was standing behind me whispered, “What did she enter, Lian?”

“As you said, everyone has a bitter experience in his life.” I shrugged my shoulders. Reply casually.

This time I'm going to see Vero. Bundara is on the way. Her clothes have changed. The uniform of the Keios Warrior. Jora herself gave it to him. The clothes are more sophisticated.

We arrived at the Vero residence. This time his house looks worse than Bundara's. The roof almost collapsed. Maybe the life of an ex-con must have been very bad. I knocked on the door very slowly. Fear if the door is broken. But what happened, the door collapsed. Behind me, Jora and Bundara shuddered in horror.

I heard the sound of hurried footsteps. And finding Vero with messy hair and red eyes, it seems he just woke up from his sleep. His clothes were tangled and his buttons were not properly related. I barely even recognized him. Vero scratched his non-itchy hair. I was a little disgusted to look at him.

Vero vaporized wide. Behind me, Jora and Bundara stared in disbelief. Bundara began to take action, snapping Vero's head.

“ADUH! Bundara, what are you doing in my room? It's still three in the morning, the alarm in my hand hasn't even gone off.” Vero held his head.

I patted the eel, it seems Vero was delirious.

“Basic is not polite! There's Miss Kei here!” Bundara resuscitated Vero who was still half asleep. Might?

Instantly Vero jumped. Mouth gasping. He looked down respectfully.

“Ma, forgive me, Miss! I'm really unconscious!” Vero called out the wrong behavior. His face was flushed, enduring embarrassment.

“Wait a minute! I'll tidy myself up first.” Vero ran to his room.

I could hear the sound of falling goods and some other commotion. Within five minutes, he was already performing neatly.

“Sorry for my sassness, Miss. Please sit at..” Vero stared at his couch. I know what he's thinking.

“No need to bother, Vero.” I cut the conversation. Tell me my purpose and purpose here. “I want to invite you to join the RP-2 extermination mission. We're going out of this city.”

“Really? That's an honor! I am glad to join. After all I also want to look at the sun that sets behind the sea. I even forgot the nickname for the sight.” Vero holds the forehead. Think hard.

“Sunset.” I answered briefly.

“Ah... That's her! But I have one condition, Lian.” Vero held up his index finger. “Please keep this embarrassing incident a secret.” He said it in a soft voice.

I'm nodding.

This time Jora who was standing behind me again whispered. “Who is this freak?”

My next destination was the Sky Academy. I'll get Markonce to join. We now have four people. Vero was also already wearing the uniform of Warrior Keios. He looks stylish when wearing it.

To be honest, I was a little hesitant to invite Marko to join. But I feel sorry for him if he is stuck in the Sky Academy forever just for the sake of realizing his ideals. I want to make his dream come true. Didn't he have dreams of becoming a frontline warrior?

When I got there, we were the center of attention. Vero even raised his head while raising his chest. Stylish like a general who wants to fight. Bundara patted his head. He told her to stop her attitude. Vero complained quietly. His face looks sour. After all this time, their attitude was still the same. Not changed one bit.

I asked a student to call Markonce here. The student rushed. Five minutes later, I could see a blond boy running around from a distance. His breath was stinged. Sweat poured out from his forehead. He's still wearing a gray uniform. Behind me, Vero and Bundara stared in surprise.

“You're serious, Lian? Grey color? Means he's an unregarded student.” Vero. Whispering slowly.

I nodded firmly.

“There...What's up, Senior?” Marko spoke on his breath. Face pale.

I told him to take a deep breath first. Will be severe if the disease suddenly relapses. Jora would doubt it. He's nodding. Tranquilize himself.

“Marko, I'd like to ask for your help. Join..”

“CAN'T!” Someone's voice cut my conversation. A very strong voice I know.

We all looked. That voice was the voice of the Prosperous Master. He came to us. Face hardened. Even Vero and Bundara were made to fear. I'm standing straight. Marko looked at him sharply.

“I've heard your plan, Miss kei. You'll form a team to wipe out the RP-2 out there. You could ask for another student who hasn't graduated. But for this child, I will never allow it.”

“Master Prosper, I challenge you to a one-on-one duel.” I stared hard. There is no fear in my heart.

The Prosperous Master smiled wryly. Marko tried to stop me. This time he was the one standing before the prosperous Master.

“No! I'm the one who will challenge you, Master!” Marko exclaimed in a loud voice. Making the originally passing disciples not care to stare at us.

I looked at Marko in disbelief. Marko just smiled.

“If you lose, you must allow me to join. But if you win, you can do anything to me. You can get me out of the Sky Academy. You can also punish me as you please.” Marko exclaimed steadily.

The Prosperous Master laughed. Insulting laugh. “I accept your challenge. I'll make sure you're aware of your position, son.”

I stopped to stop Marko. Perhaps this could be a golden opportunity for him to gain recognition. I will support him no matter what.

“Take it easy, Senior. I will make your teachings not in vain.” Marko patted my shoulder slowly.

In the meantime, our mission must be delayed. We are now in the fighting arena. The senior disciples were preparing for the arena. Almost the entire population in the Sky Academy was about to witness this rare fight.

The arena is in a circle. There is a white line on the edge. Marking the limits of the fighting arena. Marko and the Prosperous Master would fight empty-handed. All I can do is hope Marko wins. I also explained to Vero, Bundara, and Jora why I invited Marko to join. After hearing that, they were just flabbergasted.

I really don't know if Marko has one other little secret. Perhaps that day would be one of history in the Sky Academy. There were thousands of students sitting in the audience. It will be a big news that will spread throughout the city of Keios. Makes me respect Marko even more.

Now Marko and the Prosperous Master had been on top of the arena. Tension filled the atmosphere of the room. The voice of support was more in favor of the Prosperous Master. Some even booed Marko. However, Marko did not respond to the various insults that were directed at him. His face remained calm. His eyes remained focused. He took a deep breath. Piling horses.

Oi! The horses I've never seen before. He put his feet slightly forward with his crossed hands protecting the chest. The spectators looked astonished, it was not the horses taught in the Sky Academy. Marko threw both his hands. Prepare to fight with the right hand that is pointed forward like a snake snout.

The referee started giving a warning. The rules are simple, they have to score 10 points by knocking out the opponent. It all depends on the damage from the attack. For punches will be given 2 points, for kicks 3 points, and smack down will be given 5 points. But for anyone who does not rise within 10 seconds, will be declared defeated. If anyone comes out of the arena, it will also be immediately declared defeated.

The referee raised his hand. Match starting. They both look like they're spinning around each other. Looking for a gap to launch an attack. The Prosperous Master unleashed a punch towards the upper part of Marko's heart. He nimbly dodged, spun, and unleashed a kick that looked like a scythe. I've never seen that move.

His kick almost hit the head of the Prosperous Master. Marko's horses are not yet steady. The Prosperous Master did not waste this opportunity, he again took a hit. At first, I thought that the Prosperous Master would first score points, but I was mistaken. Marko had planned this. Marko first resisted the attack. His movements are so agile. With his small body, he slammed the Prosperous Master onto the floor. Making the supporters of the Prosperous Master gap in disbelief. It was as if their mouths were stuffed with something.

The Master of Peace has risen again. Marko managed to get 5 points thanks to the attack. The Prosperous Master repaired his horses. His face flushed with anger. He's getting serious. It seems like this match will not end quickly. The Prosperous Master began to scowl forward. His movements are very fast. He unleashed a technique of 1000 strokes. It was the hardest technique in the Sky Academy. But to my amazement, Marko avoided the attack casually. His hands moved nimbly, following the rhythm of the Prosperous Master's punch.

The Prosperous Master spun around and unleashed a kick towards Marko's foot. Marko did the salto gracefully. This time it was Marko's turn to attack. He's moving fast. Slew. Then release the punch. Nah! That's not a punch! More like a slap. With an open palm, he slapped the heart of the Prosperous Master. Instantly, the Prosperous Master bounced a few meters. Like the wind was pushing it. Marko is just like a soft slap. The Prosperous Master was slammed. His body rolled over on the arena floor.  And it ends outside the arena. Match over.

Critical attack! A landslide victory for Marko.

Silent room. The whole student is silent. Prosperous Master whether in a conscious state or not. He's lying on the floor. Not moving one bit. Marko breathed out slowly. Bow respectfully. The referee even looked at Marko with a stiff face. After a few seconds, the referee finally raised his hand.

“Fight over!”

The room is still quiet. This fight had not even been ten minutes. Prosperous Master was already K.O with the circumstances outside the arena. Marko was not hurt. That day, it would be history in the Sky Academy. It will definitely be published in the article and placed in the museum. “Unadmitted Murids Defeat the Master of the Sky Academy with Twice Attacks.” That's what the title is.

Jora was the first to applaud, followed by thousands of other disciples. Marko waved at me. His face looks cheerful. That's one little secret from Marko. Other than his illness, he was a fighter. Mystery fighter.

I approached Marko outside the Sky Academy building. The Prosperous Master was being treated in the health room. Fortunately, he just fainted. No significant injuries. I shook his hand. Ask questions impatiently.

“Why didn't you tell me?”

“Sorry, Senior. I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. I can only do these techniques in a short time. If it takes too long, my illness will recur. Ah... Of course this technique will also not be perfect thanks to your teachings, Senior.” Marko rubbed his hair.

He was right, after the fight just now his face was a little pale. I don't know the outcome if the fight will go on for a long time. Marko could have fainted in the middle of the game due to being out of breath. But still it's an amazing thing.

Vero, Bundara, and Jora join forces.

“What was the name of the technique?” This time it was Vero who asked impatiently.

“Tha phak.” Marko answered briefly.

Now Marko's eyes were on Jora. He bowed respectfully. “Sorry I didn't get to bow respectfully to you, Miss Kei. It's an honor to meet you in person.”

Jora just nodded slowly. Congratulate him.

“Senior, by the way, who are these two freaks?” Marko appoints Bundara and Vero. The designated one smiled with a glaring face.

“What did you say, Fucking boy? You said we were weird?” Vero speaks in a high tone. Stare at Marko.

“Ah, I pull my words. I mean, you're just a freak here. I see you puffing out your chest every time you step. That's really embarrassing.” Marko shrugged his shoulders. Responding casually.

Bundara held back laughter. Covering his mouth with his hands. Vero growled.

“Lian, I don't agree this Fucking boy joins.” Vero said this while pointing at Marko's face.

“Eh... The one who decided it wasn't you, Tua Bangka. Senior Lian who decided.”

“You said I what?” Veroka glares.

“It's enough, Vero!” Bundara broke up while holding back laughter.

I stared silently at those who were fighting. More precisely Vero and Marko. Bundara tried to break up. Jora was already whispering telling me to stop their quarrel. I just shook my head. They will also be tired themselves.

Ten minutes they were fighting. Marko gave up first. We are already in the car. Marko was also already wearing the uniform of Warrior Keios. When he received it, his hand shook. He almost cried haru. But stop it so Vero wants to suck it up.

“What's your plan, Lian?” Jora asked, breaking the gap.

“I'll take my old gun.” I answered flatly. I was staring out the car window

“Eh, you mean that weapon back then? The weapon is now seized.”

“I know that. But, the weapon is very powerful against RP-2. In one shot, the robots can be smashed into pieces.”

“Really?” Jora's eyebrows shot up. It was as if he had just found out there was such a powerful weapon.

“Then, we take the weapon!”
