During the break time to continue the tournament which is only given 5 minutes. Thunder who carried out the task as a shadow protector continued to watch over the pitch and the course of the tournament.
Thunder was unwilling if there were things that could harm everyone like the events of a while ago. That way, Thunder is like working continuously. Not physically but his mind. These few days Thunder could not sleep well even for a moment. That was because Thunder had to make a plan for everything to be under control.
Feeling tired and sleepy Thunder feeling. Thunder, however, kept it all for the safety of all.
Sitting in the crowded audience stands and boisterous cheers, keeping Thunder awake in his consciousness. Even occasionally he also chatted with the audience beside him.
" Bro... Who do you think will win the tournament this time? " ask someone beside Thunder.
The thunder that heard that immediately turned to the person.
" Hm... I don't know for sure but it's definitely not Umar or Ridwan" Guntur said casually.
The person who asked Thunder was surprised "Ehh... Why could? Wasn't Umar the defending champion and very strong? Even to become the first rank among all the disciples in this field? " sanyanya.
Thunder smiled "That's because, I felt that Umar and Ridwan would meet in the semi-finals... You know if I see and observe that Ridwan is actually as strong as Umar and they will fight it out" he said.
" Eh... Se-seriously??? " ask the man surprised.
Thunder immediately nodded "Right... But it was only my guess that in fact we do not know and we will see later if they meet, hehehe, " said Guntur with a cry.
Meanwhile, Ridwan who had reached the room of the participants was immediately sitting in the chair that had been provided. It seemed that the other participants were looking at Ridwan with a look of disbelief.
One of them immediately asked Ridwan "Ridwan... We know that you are strong now but I did not expect that you could beat the yellow lightning fast, " said one of the participants named Wawan, ranked in the top 5.
Ridwan who heard that smiled "Ahh... Tha-that... It's just a coincidence... Heehee, " said Ridwan evasively.
" ha... It just so happens, but I can't believe it's a coincidence... Ridwan, I really want to fight with you... May we be met in the arena, " said someone in the corner of the room named Rudi, the top 7.
Ridwan just nodded. At first glance, the participants who gathered in one room looked ordinary and harmonious, but in fact they were in a cold war with each other. That's because in a match it will definitely happen like that, showing who is the strongest among them. Unlike if outside the tournament, they are very close and even close friends with each other.
For example, when Umar was reprimanded by Singgih which stopped was the top 2, because Singgih was afraid that Umar would be beaten by a veiled srikandi Anisa when talking about Anisa behind him.
They all knew that even if they had the rank but if they fought against Anisa, then they would lose by a landslide despite the rumbling. To Anisa, they are just a bunch of ants that bother. That's why they were so afraid of Anisa, the Srikandi of Radar.
A few days later, the tournament resumed. The large screen continued to scramble the participants' names quickly, then stopped. It features two names that will fight next and those names are...
UMAR VS DIMAS
Suddenly the audience shouted hysterically because their hero, Umar, would soon fight.
Instantly both of them stood up from their positions and then walked out of the participants' dugout. But as Umar was about to pass by Ridwan who was sitting, Umar said something to Ridwan.
" Don't lose until we fight... Ridwan, " murmured Umar wirred but could be heard by Ridwan.
After saying that, Umar walked back to the arena.
While Ridwan who heard that smiled "I won't lose, "he murmured inwardly.
Now being seen in the arena, Umar will fight Dimas where Dimas is the top 4. Dimas was not daunted against Umar, as Dimas had a defensive stance strong enough to withstand Umar's attack.
The referee said the rules were the same as telling Ridwan against Rahmat.
After that the referee again jumped to where the referee was and the match had started.
Umar seemed very calm facing Dimas. The boisterous sound of the audience shouting at them ignored and concentrated on the fight.
This time Dimas started the fight first by installing horses and then took out his manager and also his weapon in the form of a large axe.
" The Fire Axe of the Mountain Destroyer "
Instantly the axe was directly swung horizontally. A shockwave was created from that stance and went straight towards Umar. To the extent that the shockwave trail created a straight line over the arena.
But Umar just smiled then immediately he pulled his sword from the sheath he was carrying on his back. Quickly, Umar did the same thing not even using any moves, but the swing of Umar's sword was able to make the same shock wave as Dimas.
Instantly when the shock wave collided created an explosion in the middle of them which was 5 meters between the two.
" Booms... "
The dust started to cover them both. The spectators were immediately tense and silent. They wondered what had happened to Umar and Dimas.
After a while, the dust covering them disappeared in the wind. But, how shocked they were the spectators by what they saw.
Above the arena it is seen that Dimas has been sprawled unconscious and also, a large enough axe which is the weapon has been split into two parts.
No injuries experienced by Dimas just sprawled that they the audience did not know because of what and how.
Umar was still standing in his place and the sword he used was already in its sheath.
Then the referee immediately went down and announced the winner.
" the winner.... Umar.... The tournament will be held 5 minutes from now! " shouted the referee firmly.
Immediately Umar turned around and walked out of the arena while looking at Ridwan who saw his fight with Dimas while smiling and muttering.
" I can also win quickly, " murmured Umar while walking out of the arena.
Ridwan also knew what was muttered by Umar, then Ridwan also muttered.
" Athaghfirullah's... I don't know why I feel like a deer being targeted by a hungry tiger.... What wrong? " he asked in his heart.
While they the audience did not know why Dimas could fall, even though Dimas was quite strong in their eyes. Then one beside Thunder asked him.
" Bro... Why did Dimas fall down and the dust got in the way so I don't know what happened when the dust covered them? " tanyanya was curious.
The thunder that heard that smiled. Thunder knew what was going on inside the dust because Thunder could see even a thin shadow between them. Then Thunder explained to the man who asked him.
When their shock waves collide and an explosion is created to the point that the dust is flying over them. Umar deliberately pressed the swing of his sword a little hard and stomped it, Umar's goal was to split the axe Dimas into two parts so that Dimas' defense was reduced and faltered. Dimas also had a fairly strong defense with his big axe. The axe was also very strong but not as strong as the sword belonging to Umar where the quality of the sword belongs to Umar is high quality and also has the wind element which is the same as its owner, Umar.
After the axe split into two halves, Umar quickly darted towards Dimas. While Dimas was shocked and panicked because his axe was split into two pieces, he also had a very difficult time arranging his gaze which was covered with thick dust.
The moment was used very much by Umar. Umar who shot quickly towards Dimas was directly hit the nape of the back of his neck with the handle of his sword, his goal so that Dimas was unconscious because of the blow from his sword handle was very hard and strong.
After Dimas was unconscious, Umar immediately returned to his original position very quickly. The goal is to fool all of us who cannot see Umar's movements.
Umar intentionally did that because it was the right moment to do that. So after the dust disappeared in the wind, what we saw just now.
Thunder explained at length to that person. The man finally understood what was happening inside the dust.
" Oohh.... So it is... It's only fitting that I can't see that... Umar is very strong and clever.... That way, Umar has made it to the quarter-finals bro... Whose opponent is it... Hehehe, uh but why do you know? " tanyanya was curious.
The thunder immediately answered "I just guessed hehehe... It's a reasonable strategy anyway, bro... Hehehe, "he said with a cry.
There was no way Thunder explained everything. It was the same as Thunder plunging itself into the mud. Thunder wants everyone to not know the truth about him.
" hm.. So yeah... You are right too, bro, " said the man with a nod of understanding.
While in the special stands, they smiled with the strategy carried out by Umar.
" Umar is clever... That way he has made it to the quarter-finals, " said elder Werang.
" Right Brother Werang... Besides he is clever and strong, he can always take advantage of a moment... He's a first-rank student... So no wonder if he can do that, " said Aji with a smile.
" Hm... But I'm more interested in Ridwan... Umar is strong and clever but when compared to Ridwan he is nothing... You also realize it, " said elder Tamrin.
The Elders of Tamrin were the oldest of them the first disciples of the earth archipelago, the universe. The elder Tamrin was also very well known as a thinker, his experience and insight were vast. Even wider than the others including Aji and Lastri himself.
If elder Tamrin had gotten serious and said something that interested him, then that was the truth and had never missed. My brothers know that.
The wisest among the wise. That was what could be described towards elder Tamrin.
" Semi-finals.... They will meet in the semi-finals... When that happens they will fight it out" said elder Tamrin.
If Werang, Aji and Lastri who heard that would strongly agree and accept it even though they were confused by what Tamrin thought.
Unlike those who do not know who the elder Tamrin will be. The other invited guests did not believe the elder Tamrin said, even they did not agree with that. They knew that Umar was the defending champion and very strong, in contrast to the newcomer, Ridwan. They also knew Ridwan was the weakest student.
" And you're Srikandi Scared... You certainly know that, too, right? " ask elder Tamrin with a smile.
Anisa was surprised to hear that, then Anisa also nodded and said a short thing.
" 200kg" he said.
Who does not know and does not know the veiled srikandi. In fact, almost all colleges or padepokan on the earth archipelago know who srikandi veiled. There were even some people who were very scared of him because they had dealt with him. Don't ask the results how, surely the veiled srikandi have ransacked their plaster.
Tamrin, Werang, Aji and Lastri were shocked to hear what Anisa said.
" What? 200kg? " lastri said.
Of course they know and realize if Ridwan wear body weights because it looks iron worn by Ridwan but they do not expect if the weight of the load reaches 200kg.
Anisa also nodded "On the way back to the paddokan yesterday, she had told me everything about Ridwan including the 200kg that she always lifted every second, "he said.
" Mash Allah... It's worth it like a concrete wall that's very strong and sturdy" said Lastri.
" 200kg yes... We'll see if that 200kg is off... For sure he would be a lump of cotton that was terrible enough for his age, aaahhhh I am really impatient! " said elder Tamrin with a twinkle.
" But we cannot underestimate Umar either... Umar who actually has wind elements that will be a counter for Ridwan later... I don't know who is the fastest between the two even though Ridwan has the fire element but I feel that Ridwan's fire element is different from the fire element in general, " said Aji.
" right... I also realized that... Maybe they will be very sorry to have betrayed Ridwan... Hehee, " said Werang mocking Ridwan's family.
While the Ridwan family who listened to their chat was very surprised by what they said.
They, the Ridwan family had no idea what their chat meant. The Ridwan family could only be silent even though in their hearts they cursed and cursed them but did not dare to express it.
" What does that mean? " Gani murmured in the heart.
" damn... What is so special about that useless child? " murmured elder Dalu inwardly.
While elder Daeng was only speechless. He felt something he was not wearing in his heart "After this I might retire from martial arts and choose to live as an ordinary person... It was enough for me to wrestle in that world... Huhh... It might be a little late but Ridwan.... Forgive grandfather, "he murmured inwardly.
Elders Daeng had realized his mistake to his grandson but would Ridwan be willing to forgive him? Of course it was heavy in the mind of elder Daeng to remember what his mistake towards his grandson was.
