The Musafir

The Tanding Exercise with the North River Angel

THE TWO of them were stomping their legs back at the same time.

When the Angel of the North River reached the end of the wooden floor of the small hut on the edge of the lake, his foot treaded which immediately carried his body up onto the roof of the hut. While the Mantingan continued to drift backwards until it came out of the hut, its body slowly descended into the water. Mantingan tread water to be able to float back up the hut.

Unlike the North River Angel who because of the limited knowledge can not freely to attack, the movement made Mantingan allows the young man more vigorous attack. So Mantingan glided quickly to where the North River Angel was located.

As usual, the Kiai Kedai Sword remained covered. Mantingan was worried that the sword would hurt the North River Angel, because in practice though sometimes things happen that are out of control

The two met in the air. The North River Angel unhesitatingly drew out the sword which was then used to attack Mantingan with a row. While the Mantingan immediately repelled quickly because it did not expect to be attacked back, he did not even get a chance to attack.

Both of Mantingan's legs touched the roof of the hut, still fending off the incessant attack from the North River Angel. Indeed he did not have time to attack, there was no gap given by the North River Angel, on the other hand the girl also did not have a defensive gap.

Their fighting speed exceeded the speed of lightning, ordinary people would see them as a mere form of the prowess of the shadows.

The one whose fastest move was the Northern River Angel, the girl made the fight go so fast. The manting itself is difficult to keep up with its speed.

The mantingan retreated slowly, continuously cornered by the North River Angel. Really Mantingan did not suspect the true ability of the Northern River Angel, so without hesitation opened the attack. Now Mantingan knows he has made a big mistake.

The mantang floated backwards up the lake. The North River Angel did not attack her, of course the girl had said that she could not fight on the water.

Still with the intention of training the North River Angel, Mantingan surrounded the hut by occasionally treading into the water and drifting. The Northern River Angel continued to twist his body as Mantingan revolved around him, his eyes looking at Mantingan annoyed. How not? Mantingan is seen deliberately looking for the weakness of the North River Angel before attacking.

That was how the Mantingan kept spinning and the Northern River Angel kept staring at him without any of them daring to attack. The mistake made Mantingan take lessons and not open the attack before actually finding a gap in the North River Angel.

The rain continues to fall. The sound of rain still continues to accompany. And lake ripples continue to be created with or without humans hearing them. More and more lightning struck, occasionally causing an unusually loud sound. The wind blew violently carrying a ripple that filled the hearing.

Ordinary humans might feel fear and choose to roll in a blanket in this kind of situation. But in contrast to the two young people who instead choose to improve themselves in the middle of the lake, indeed at this time there is not the slightest fear that pervades themselves, including the Little Angel of the North River itself.

Until finally Mantingan found a little gap in the defense of the North River Angel. A little gap does not mean worthless, even very valuable. But that's for Mantingan. Dangerous to the North River.

The North River Angel tried to resist the Mantingan attack by sending a tread attack as well. But the Blood Wind Tread Movement was not a move that could be taken lightly, its gliding speed was twice that of the other tread style sled speed.

So the Blood Windfall attack hit the Northern River Angel before the girl even reached out. The North River Angel bought eyes as a bundle of wind slammed into his stomach. His stomach was pressed with great force. Nausea felt. Before the Northern River Angel could react any further, his body slammed backwards. The wind is too big to hold.

Mantingan saw the North River Angel being thrown strongly accompanied by a loud explosive sound. There was nothing to worry about from the sound of the explosion as the sound was created due to the wind and the broken inner power. What to worry about is the North River Angel who actually can not tread on the water.

However, Mantingan still felt there was nothing to worry about. Let the girl feel the coldness of the water to learn a little lesson that she can use later.

The body of the Northern River Angel began to fall from the air. He yelled. His hand was trying to reach something, unfortunately all he achieved was empty air and rain water. Inevitably the body of the North River Angel fell into the lake water. Water splashed everywhere, the lake surging.

The Northern River Angel was not seen for some time before the girl finally appeared to the surface of the water. His hands were still moving quickly trying to reach something, his head was drowning, faintly heard his cry for help.

Manten shook his head slowly. With just one tread, he floated to where the North River Angel was about to sink. It was easy for Mantingan to reach his hand and pull the Northern River Angel from the water. Once again retracing, Mantingan brought himself and the marsh angel back into the hut.

While being carried away by Mantingan, the Northern River Angel coughed loudly, not even stopping after reaching the hut though. The girl coughed a few more times and stared intently at Mantingan who looked unconcerned.

“Your name is North River Angel, but swimming alone cannot.”

The North River Angel willingly stopped his cough to be able to yell Mantingan. “I'm not ready! I thought you were going to catch me, apparently not at all!”

Manten shook his head several times before sitting cross-legged not far from the North River Angel. Slowly his hands reached for the teacup. “You still can not tread on water, the science of lightening the body that you are still classified as low. But I admire the way you fight.”

The North River Angel pronounces the sworn serapah shown to Mantingan. “You ... beware, someday I will reply you. And I'm really sorry to have worried about your situation if it turns out you're not a good man. You cocky! See later how I'll get you soaked.”

The mantel shook its head a few times before it started to show something. His right hand moved wanting to touch the Northern River Angel. The girl wanted to dodge, but Mantingan's palm had already touched her shoulder. Suddenly his originally wet clothes let out a lot of steam before finally drying out.
