True Martial Arts

Exercises that Are Too Excessive

Kaia's forehead is shriveled while reading, it is clear that it is still difficult to understand the contents of the book. Kala asked Alang to accompany Kaia.

Usually, Kala just stops for a drink before returning to walk. But this time they did not continue the journey, Kaia until she forgot the time because she began to understand the book under the advice of Alang. Kala leaned on the tree trunk with eyes covered with destar, Batik Parang motif head covering.

As the day began to be a bit far away from noon, Kaia closed the scroll while looking at Kala. It seemed like he could no longer bear to try the swordsmanship he had just learned.

While lying down earlier, Kala also remembered the contents of the book that Kaia was studying in order to give direction to Kaia. The young man confirmed the destar was again covering the head, not the eyes.

“Prepare your sword.” Kala releases Keris Garuda Puspa.

“Are you sure you'll wear that kris? Isn't that a keris that's too valuable?”

Kala smiled awkwardly while shaking her head. If remembered again, he once used Keris Garuda Puspa as a woodcutter and grass on Mount Loro Twins, it was the stupidest thing.

“Focus only on your opponent.” Getting back serious.

Kaia looked at Kala sharply then unsheathed the sword forward. “I won't play around if you get hurt.”

Kala raised her eyebrows and smiled cynically, of course she did not believe Kaia's words. Even his long keris was unsheathed but he held it to the side casually, certainly it was as an insult to Kaia.

The girl tried not to be provoked by emotions, in the book she read was strictly prohibited for emotions while fighting. Kaia tightened the distance quickly then gave a slash straight to the waist.

Kala deflected it casually while stepping back. Kaia attacked him brutally, her attacks were not stiff anymore and looked very smooth.

“You learn quickly and precisely, Kaia. I'm proud of you,” said Kala while continuing to fend off the attacks. “I'll start attacking.”

Kala gave simple stabs along with small slashes, Kaia deflected them with difficulty even though the attack looked very weak. Now Kaia who changed stepped back while thinking hard.

The pattern of Kaia's attacks changed by multiplying jumps and attacks from above. Kaia's body spun on top with sword eyes that also rotated like a tornado.

“Angin Blowing Mountain!” Kaia cheered the name of the style she was wearing.

Kala jumped back because Kaia's attack was so dangerous. Now Kala attacked with an attack that was no longer simple.

Fireflowers were created, the desing of metal echoed throughout the forest. Kala and Kaia had already exchanged over a hundred attacks and various techniques. Now Kaia was kneeling limp with her arms covered in blood.

“You ... so serious.” Kaia regulated her airway.

“You are too weak.” Kala kept Keris Garuda Puspa and gave Kaia the same pill.

Alang perched on Kala's shoulder while protesting with her training so overboard, Kala actually injured Kaia mercilessly. Kala went by intending to lean back under the banyan tree.

However, Kaia sighed as Kala almost reached the banyan tree. Turn around to the back.

“Her bleeding does not stop.” Kaia's voice was soft and weak.

With Kaia's seemingly dangerous condition, Kaia immediately dashed towards him. The young man rolled up the long-sleeved cloth on Kaia's right hand, the wound was right in her arm and only then did Kala realize that it was quite deep.

“What are you doing?” Kaia tried to close back her open arm but her movements were so weak that it meant nothing.

Kala also took out a small soft cloth, wet it and used it to clean the blood that stained Kaia's arm. The girl looked at Kala with a strange look.

“What do you want?” ask Kaia suddenly.

“Training you, but I seem to be overdoing it.” Kaia laughed blankly.

“What do you want? Why do you want to protect me, teach me, give me a lot of valuable things that I never even got in a dream once.” Kaia's eyes began to glow. “What do you want? Do you want my body? Are you going to sell me as a slave? Do you want to take the crystal from my body?”

Kala stopped cleaning and smiled warmly even though Kaia's speech was very painful. Kaia was confused by that smile, for some reason different from the smiles of others, Kala's smile was really warming.

“I asked you to stay alive. That means I have to keep you alive, with a better life, with a life you've never felt before.” Kaia again cleared the remaining blood on Kaia's arm. “That's my wish.”

Whether there was any encouragement, Kaia immediately hugged Kala.

Kala cursed in his heart, already twice he was embraced by women other than his family. Kala hesitated to reply, but Kaia seemed to be in a mess of her thoughts, Kala hugged her back even though it was a bit stiff.

“You don't have to do that for me. No need.” Kaia sobbed softly as she continued to hug Kala. “You're making me even more sinful.”

“I don't care what you say.” Kala laughed softly.

“Eak ...” The net seemed to pat the forehead.

***

After that moment, the awkward atmosphere immediately alighted to Kala. Although now they have continued the journey, but the awkwardness did not leave him.

“If you must retreat in battle, even at nightfall you must keep running.” Kala opened the conversation as the sky darkened. “We will continue the journey at night. I hope you can fight fear.”

Kaia who was far behind nodded despite not seeing Kala. Alang felt bored so that it flew around in circles in the trees until Kala gave him a task.

“That girl seems to need a friend,”kata Kala, Alang immediately flew to Kaia's shoulder.

Kala activated Garuda Eye just in case. Spirit beasts usually came out at night, they would not care about Kala's strength and attack him.

If the Garuda Eye catches the movement of spirit animals, then hiding is the best step. Actually using a torch as a light is risky here, but Kaia is still given a torch, of course she does not have a Garuda Eye.

The afternoon fell quickly. The night picks up with the cold. The mist began to fall down filled the forest. This kind of atmosphere is very scary for Kaia but it is a replica of the house for Kala.

“Ah, Twin Loro Mountain full of eternal mist just because of Guru.” Little laugh.

Kaia wanted to know Kala's story, but she recalled the moment earlier this afternoon, immediately undone.

The steps seem heavy when the night is really dark. The bush bushes seem to be full of thorns so that they are avoided. Not to mention the startling sound of owls. But all that Kaia felt, this was heaven for Kala.

“Wah, the atmosphere of the forest is very peaceful.” Kala said in astonishment, Kaia felt annoyed.
