A month has passed since Arya became a soldier in charge of patrol, and prevent and handle the commotion in the streets.
When on duty not a few fights even crimes that Arya managed to handle. For all his contributions during one month of duty, his name is already quite widely known by the people of Bamboo City.
People often even ask Arya for help which is not a duty for a soldier like him. But Arya still serves the demand of the community that sometimes even pay with money.
Because his name is increasingly famous and has a face above men in general, making Arya has become a prima donna in Bamboo City.
Not infrequently Arya gets a gift from women who were accidentally met while on patrol. It had been countless how many gifts she had received, but Arya often shared the gifts she had received with her teammates.
All the fame that Arya received did not always end well. The commander who leads the guard force in the city now even hates Arya, because the woman he has been cabing for a long time is actually interested in a new soldier.
The commander of the City guard force often gave the task of not entering will be done by Arya because she was upset. Arya was often given the task of repairing the damage to the city walls that would have been done by the construction workers.
Instead of feeling upset Arya actually felt helped because she could avoid her fans. Arya was actually astonished by the women, even though she had already made her appearance a little messy.
Inside room. The commander received a letter containing an invitation to attend a special tournament that only the military officials of the Kingdom of Brawijaya could participate.
The prizes offered are also not small, even written that the winner of this tournament will get an increase in office given directly by the Supreme Commander.
A big reward, of course, is a big risk too. It did not rule out the possibility of severe injury and even death can be accepted by the participants.
A cunning thought instantly flashed across the Commander's head to remove Arya from the Bamboo City. Although he was a Commander it was not easy for him to fire Arya directly for no apparent reason, let alone the people of Bamboo City who liked the presence of the young man.
"Call Arya to meet right now!" Commandant's orders to his loyal aide.
The soldier who was an aide to the Commander of the City Guard troops, immediately carried out the order to summon Arya who was currently repairing the City wall along with the construction workers.
On arrival at the City wall that is in repair. The Commander's adjutant soon discovers the whereabouts of Arya who is hanging on to patch up the City walls.
"Hey Arya! The commander asked you to meet him right now!" Said the Commander's aide in a loud tone to be heard by Arya.
Arya who heard the voice of the commander's aide then cut the rope on his waist, and free-fall from a height of 20 meters without injury when landing.
"Well, you don't have to yell that loud just to call me. I can hear you even if you whisper from there." Arya patted the commander's aide's shoulder which looked annoyed to him.
After wearing his military equipment, Arya immediately darted away leaving the commander's aide who could only be stunned when he saw his seemingly disappeared self.
"Who exactly is that man, why does the swordsman seem willing to become a low-paid soldier?" Murmured the commander's aide who thought Arya only wanted to attract women's attention by becoming a soldier.
Arya who had reached the headquarters then walked towards the Commander's room. Not infrequently some soldiers greet him when passing by.
"Sir, I've come to fulfill the call." Arya knocks on the door before the Commander asks her to go into his study.
"Lately my stomach disease has recurred frequently, and I can not participate in the tournament. Actually it's a pity because if I win I can get a promotion."
"What if you're the only one in the tournament. Don't you want your job to rise, Arya?"
The commander smiled slylyly after saying the reason why he could not participate in the tournament, and asked Arya to replace him.
Arya was certainly not stupid and knew what the Commander was planning. But because he felt he could avoid the women who always followed him, Arya thought to join the tournament especially when there was a prize in the form of promotion promotion.
"Okay sir, I'm willing to take part in this tournament. But how do I register? Is it written that only talented soldiers and military officers can follow him?"
"You take it easy, I can make a letter of recommendation so you can join this tournament, Arya. Now pack up, you can go straight to the capital this afternoon."
"Well Sir!" Arya saluted the Commander before leaving after getting a letter of recommendation in order to enter the tournament.
After Arya left her room. The commander laughed cunningly and felt Arya was too stupid. "Aryan-Aryan... You'll meet your end there. This year there are some talented young candidates who will compete."
What the Commander said was not wrong but also not entirely true, because no matter how strong the candidates he would meet, they were definitely no match for Arya.
Finished packing his belongings, Arya immediately went to the capital Wirabhumi without using a horse or horse carriage. He prefers to use body lightening techniques to make his journey much faster, and can avoid the attention of fans who can hinder his departure.
"I haven't seen those people in a long time, how are they doing now?" Arya smiled faintly then accelerated her steps jumping over the trees.
Arya still does not realize that her departure to the Capital Wirabhumi will make her meet a figure she never expected and does not want her to meet.

Meanwhile, in front of the gate of the Aditama residence. A handsome young man dressed in military clothes riding a horse arrived there.
"Welcome Young Master. Haven't seen each other in a long time. Now you've really grown into a dashing and handsome man." Said a man who looked 60 years old who was none other than the Commander of the soldiers guarding the Aditama residence.
The young man laughed warmly and got off the horse to greet the Commander. "Yes, we haven't seen each other in a long time, Uncle. How are my mom and dad?" Said the young man who was none other than Raka.
"Their news is good and still the same as when the Young Master left. Please comein..." Reply Commander then ordered his soldiers to open the entrance gate.
When the gate was opened Raka was immediately greeted by Asri who had missed the mere figure of the son of his puppet.
Dierja was also seen welcoming the arrival of Raka, but the look on Dierja's face was not so happy. It seems that the relationship between the child and the father is still tenuous since the incident 11 years ago.
Raka immediately approached Dierja to greet her, although she could realize her father until now still could not forgive her and was still disappointed by the actions he did 11 years ago.
