The Legend of Garuda Sword

15. New Teacher

Isuke woke up, he looked around and fumbled his body.

'Is this what we call the realm of death?' Isuke recalled that just a moment ago he had drowned in the lake and was out of breath.

" Well, I can't believe you've woken up so soon. I thought you were gonna pass out for a couple of days, it was just an hour "A man came in from the door of his little house. He wears tattered clothes and a knee-length color underneath like a sawtooth. His hair was long and his teeth were black.

" Whoooaaaa, who are you? " Isuke immediately stood up in surprise and grabbed his body against the stone-like back wall.

" Ahaha, there's no need to overreact. I should have asked like that! Who are you and why are you here? " The man chuckles because Isuke is like meeting a monster when he sees it.

Isuke was astonished, was death really like this or was he not dead yet?

He calmed down and controlled himself again. Then the man took her out to warm up in front of the bonfire he had made.

Isuke just complied with his wish because he was sure that the person in front of him did not have hostility.

Finally they chatted and introduced themselves. His name is Kang Dong. Isuke also asked 'what is this world?'. It turned out that this was a stealth realm, another world other than the human realm. In this world there are no other humans besides them Kang Dong said. He said he was stranded here a few years ago.

In this world there are only demons who have lived hundreds or even thousands of years. This place is also always dark and only experiences daylight for about three hours. So the night time is very long.

This happens because the place is surrounded by large and high rocks about tens or even hundreds of kilometers. It's like a football field.

Also visible from where Isuke sat there is a lake that is pure water. It seemed like the lake was where Kang Dong took the water.

Now Isuke understood where he was, even though he had never heard of any other realm besides the human realm.

" Uncle, why am I there? " Isuke asked again while pointing at a building made of bamboo arranged with a roof of thatch. This very small building is probably only for one person to sleep. This building is almost not like a building, as it is called a bamboo pile.

" I brought you to my house. Because when I was looking for firewood and fruits I found you lying unconscious by the tree" Kang Dong said as he occasionally fixed the firewood to keep the fire burning.

" wtff.... " Isuke held back a laugh. He thought 'What?it was his home, I don't think it was home' Isuke laughed inside out for fear Kang Dong was offended.

"Why are you here Isuke? " Kang Dong stopped Isuke's strange behavior with a question.

Isuke explained the events that happened to him ranging from the fight of two leaders to drowning and fainting.

Kang Dong nodded as he understood.

Kang Dong threw the fruit like an apple but it was purple to Isuke. "Eat!"

Isuke caught it and ate it.

" Strong.... "

Looks like Isuke bit steel instead of apples. The fruit was very hard. Isuke felt like his teeth would be dislodged, he didn't think that the fruit would be this hard.

Then he glanced at Kang Dong, but he saw that Kang Dong was relaxed in chewing the fruit. It seems he didn't feel any pain.

Isuke choked on his own saliva hearing the fruit he was holding was the softest fruit. He thought it was hell for him.

" Oh yes uncle, am I still alive or in hell? " Isuke asked.

" Of course you're still Isuke's life" Kang Dong replied briefly.

" You're so weak Isuke, hahahaha if you fight a lowly demon here alone you'll die instantly. Haha... "

Kang Dong continued his words while confirming the firewood to keep the fire burning.

Isuke bowed because it was true that he was very weak. Then he called out to teacher Lin, but there was no reply from that teacher. Isuke is silent now. He thought about what happened to his teacher.

The atmosphere became silent as both of them were silent for quite a long time. Then there was a strong wind coming out of nowhere. It was quite confusing as there was wind in a place surrounded by high rocks like this.

As a result of this wind the fire that Kang Dong made became extinguished. Then he snapped his index finger and created a fire as big as a basketball. Kang Dong lit his bonfire again.

The thing that Kang Dong did just made Isuke gawk and opened his mouth wide. He did not expect the person in front of him who was like crazy was claustrophobic. He could make a fire just by snapping a finger 'What an awesome thing' Isuke thought.

Isuke asked "Uncle, what are you? I want to do something like that. Please teach me uncle master" Isuke stood up while bowing his body saluting. He behaved as best he could for Kang Dong to accept him as a disciple.

" Hahahaha.., if you're ready then I'll train you, Isuke" Kang Dong laughed as he rubbed his head.

" The exercise I give you may be very difficult, but believe me if you're serious then it's a small thing. I hope you're ready to take some hard training from me" Kang Dong continued.

" I'm ready teacher" Isuke bowed his body again, he behaved respectfully.

" Now rest with satisfaction before we practice. I want to sleep in my house, you can rest here because my house is narrow" Kang Dong said as he passed away to go into his small house.

Isuke held back a laugh, because what the house said by Kang Dong looked like it was not a house. As Kang Dong laid down his body, the building reotted and shook. "Kreeet... Creet... ".

Isuke is now alone by the campfire. He took the book of Triwindra from his sweater. 'I look fat while keeping this book in the stomach, huuft is troublesome' thought Isuke. He was astonished that the book was not wet and was still intact even though it had sunk into the lake with him.

He also thought that the book was sacred, so maybe the book was waterproof. The thoughts of Isuke.

Slowly Isuke opened the first part of the book. About the science of empty-handed martial arts. This technique is called the Garuda wing technique. Isuke also intends to learn it at this time.

Isuke stood up and demonstrated the movements listed in the book. Sometimes he gawks because he forgets how the next move. He looked back at the book and practiced again.

So focused he trained, so it did not feel like he had been training for two hours. Isuke looked exhausted and sat by the extinguished fire. He was daydreaming while holding his knee.

He recalled something and muttered 'Oh slow down my brain, why did I forget to ask this to Teacher Kang Dong'

The author immediately ended the chapter and immediately said "Thank you for reading, I hope you are entertained. The author also apologized for the new up, because this week was busy so not perbet nulis"
