Ch. 19 Night Jurit
At night, on the day Asna and Iyan take a test at the Kaliyangan Bird guild.
Asna casually read the textbooks for the next semester. Learning style that makes it able to penetrate the top five in the class consistently. This style has been used since elementary school.
When the Mesum chose to study, Iyan instead sat on the bed. Closing eyes. Training his mind to improve INT status. This shows his obsession with becoming a great virtual warrior is very high. Beating other things like lessons in school.
iyan's mind instantly froze after recalling the events that happened in the Kaliyangan Bird Union. There was a god at that time.
He wanted to confirm this to Asna. Through frontal questions. But he did it because his perverted friend was doing positive activities. Studying.
Rather than bothering Asna who could turn to negative activities, Iyan chose to sleep. He does need to prepare physically and mentally to participate in the Level Upgrade Ceremony and the Inauguration of New Members at GWM SMA 25 Samarinda.
-----------------
Long story...
The day before the Rise and Inauguration Ceremony of the New Members was held, the members of the Young Hero Movement first gathered in the virtual world. They prepare to perform the ritual of the opening apple to hold the tradition of the exam of the seniors, the Night Jurit.
At the opening apple, prospective members who were the majority of 10th grade students were gathered in a row and made promises as prospective GWM members. The first promise to the Creator, the second promise to the Nation and the State, and the third promise to a fellow living being.
By making these three promises, GWM members are bound to the lofty ideals of building society. This is in line with their profession as Virtual Warriors who are nothing but guarding the society from the interference of virtual beings.
The opening ceremony closed by reading the secret verse of GWM 25 Samarinda entitled, “Pataka in Medan Perang.” Verse reading was apparently done by the Rode.
The student who had a feud with Iyan and Asna was carrying a typical Kalimantan weapon on his waist, Mandau.
After standing in the middle of the ceremonial field, Rode began to cheer…
Pataka on the battlefield
Symbol or just a symbol?
The banner burns the soul
The dignity of the mother earth dwelling on my chest
That path is a symbol and that symbol is me…
or the…
The banner burns the soul
The dignity of mother earth you deserve
The banner is just a symbol, and you are still you…
After the poem, Rode pulled Mandau out of his scabbard. It is seen that Mandau's blades emit a clear yellow light that radiates to the faces of the opening ceremony participants. Soon after, the Rode plunged the weapon into the ground. Then Mr. Haris walked over and took Mandau's sarong from the Rode.
Mr. Haris then holds the upper Mandau stuck on the ground. “With the recitation of the Verse of Secrets and the insertion of [Resurrection Mandau], then the series of traditions for the ceremony of the increase in the level of the Movement of Young Men SMA 25 Samarinda has begun. Those of you who perished in this virtual world, will be resurrected as long as [Resurrection Mandau] is stuck. Each participant should not forget to touch it.” explained Mr. Haris.
Each GWM member walked over to [Resurrection Mandau] and touched it. Starting from the seniors, then continued the new members.
Items like [Resurrection Mandau] were extremely rare. There is usually only one in the community. Created by high-level experts from among the former virtual fighters. The maker is very secretive because the thing He created is very vital in the war. Soldiers who die in the virtual world can come back to life as long as they previously touched the resurrection item.
Irvan approaches Asna and Iyan. “If you want to know what it's like to die, it's time. Hehehe..”.
“Solak! After you die, you just came back alive at closing!” sahut Iyan's.
Irvan laughed at Iyan's words. The existence of [Resurrection Mandau] does give a little sense of security to the members of GMW 25 Samarinda.
There was a cry from a senior. “Please to cooperate. Let no one die in this activity! [Resurrection Mandau] can only store three souls. When there are already two souls inside [Resurrection Mandau], we stop!”
Irvan's face changed slightly upon hearing the notice. “I hope you are not deaf..” Iyan said as she walked ahead of Irvan and Asna.
The existence of [Resurrection Mandau] does give a little sense of security to the members of GMW 25 Samarinda. Just a little because the rations are just three.
Dead in the virtual world will be as real as long as there is still a mysterious object that can resurrect it. Unfortunately [Resurrection Mandau] can only resurrect three GWM members who died in the virtual world. So, when the quota of three people is fulfilled, to die means to die.
Coming first, Iyan became the first to hold the [Resurrection Mandau] before Asna and Irvan. Asna preferred to hold it after Irvan.
As usual, when Asna follows an activity, her other soul wanders around. This time even Asna can take out two souls from her body to see the committee's preparations on the member examination later tonight. Asna called it, Soul Monday and Soul Tuesday. Soul Monday to watch over Rode, Soul Tuesday to observe the surroundings outside.
Soul Monday signifies the spirit of Asna's birthday which coincides on Monday. For Asna, Monday is a day where career women and school girls generally wear well-washed and ironed uniforms. Cheerful faces were very visible on their faces. No wonder, since elementary school, Asna is very happy to greet the girls on Monday.
Tuesday's soul signified the surge of Asna's pent-up soul. On Tuesdays, Asna prefers to laze around to see the beauty that radiates from the girls. Asna was very lazy to move on that day. The energy was drained on Monday. He will be back in action on Wednesday. That's long life, anyway.
“You should have named him a young soul, ******!” someone suddenly whispered in Asna's ear.
Asna replied ketus, “It sounds like ‘youngwife’ in my ear!”
After a few seconds there was no response from the person whispering, Asna was curious as to who had just whispered in her ear. Asna also looked.
Instantly his lips became trembling.
“J-Young Soul is a great name! Yes, nothing better than that name!” asna said, gelagapan.
A punch landed on Asna's head causing her to fall to the ground. The blow of a man who had trapped him joined Paguyuban Tutur Pusaka.
“You insinuate I have a young wife, huh?! You really don't care about your life, *****!” umpat Datu Busu while trampling the back of Asna. The people around you can't do anything.
That nice.
The blow to virtual fighters includes practice.
“Ampun datu.. geez..” Asna squeezed at the foot of Datu Busu with a face almost crying. Asna never thought Datu Busu would come.
Mr. Haris approached Asna and Datu Busu. “Oh, apparently Datu knows Asna.”.
“He's my slave! How do I not know?” sahut Datu Busu's. He then walked with Mr. Haris leaving Asna and his friends.
Irvan and Iyan immediately approached Asna and helped her up. “Originally You, Na. Wasn't He Grandpa in the hospital back then?” iyan. Asna did not dare to recite Iyan's words for fear Datu Busu would return.
Not getting a response from Asna, Iyan continued, “Say my father, the grandfather was the leader of the local hero association. I would love to join a community like that.”
“Already. You don't say anything that's not about him. You can taste!” asna. He then joined the upstream [Resurrection Mandau]. A moment later Asna asked, “Where are we now?”
“To situ!” irvan replied, pointing towards one of the tents with his lips.
Inside Irvan's tent, thirty seniors stood in front of the new recruits.
A committee cloaked in bark gave direction, “Tradition tonight is addressed to the new members and old members who will attend the rate hike ceremony tomorrow.
“Old members can freely select potential members to form a squad. Between four and six people.
“Each squad will be tested by a team of testers from the organizing committee divided into four posts. Each post will test STR, VIT, INT, DEX, and MEN that you have improved. Any questions?”
Asna's classmate Addin raised his right hand. A committee exclaimed to Addin, “ Get used to raising your left hand when asking for permission to speak. Please ask.”
“Yes, I'm sorry. It was said that the old members could freely choose their squad members. Why aren't we?” addin Sahut.
The organizer replied, “Questions from brave people. From now until the inauguration ceremony tomorrow, you prospective members must understand the position of a candidate.
“You only have the right to speak after being given the opportunity to talk. The rest of you must be silent. As shown on the notice board, in front of this tent.
“I remind. There are only two rules that you must follow. First, the committee is always right. Second article, if the committee makes a mistake, then return to the first article.”
The atmosphere became quiet after the committee answered Addin's question. They understand that the committee is in control and fully responsible for the participants.
“If there is no more rebuttal, we continue on the battle status test. After that we ask the seniors who are participants to recruit members. It's fifteen minutes. Please..”
----------------------------------------
Asna's two souls continued to flirt with her. Tuesday's souls are looking for a map of the path and the location of the post they must pass. At the same time digging information about the type and form of the test that He will receive. While Soul Monday was still observing the movements of the Rode who had not shown any signs of entering the secret chamber of the inheritance.
Currently Soul Tuesday is listening to the preparation meeting of the testing team that has been going on for an hour. From the meeting it is known that the distance from the campground to the post four is at least 10 kilo meters. The distance can be reached in two and a half hours on foot.
As far as Asna's knowledge is concerned, post one will test the strength (STR) and endurance (VIT) of the examinee. On that exam, the large STR and VIT points are not a benchmark. The participants will go through a barrier that requires the effectiveness and efficiency of using STR and VIT. That is the obstacle in climbing the hill ****.
Post two will test STR and agility (DEX). There is an obstacle in the form of a white crow attack while jumping over the ravine,
The obstacle to post three is to move the bridge across the three hundred meter gap. This obstacle is to test the intelligence (INT) and mentality (MEN) of the examinee.
The last test is to test VIT and MEN examinees who will be conducted in post four. Participants had enough rest for five minutes inside the barracks.
While resting participants will be beaten by humans ****. Without being able to fight back.
All of the exams were extremely incompatible with Asna's current battle status. The good news, the committee will give special treatment to Asna as the most preferred candidate member.
Knowing this, Asna felt good to be treated that way.
Switch to Soul Monday…
The Rode did not move from the camp. As a senior with an important position, Rode walked around to see the preparation of each committee unit.
Even twice have Souls Monday met Souls Tuesday. This meeting for Asna was very redundant. Running three thoughts at once certainly requires a high MEN and INT. Asna status is very low. INT and MEN 1 point each.
At least Asna is still grateful because the situation is still safe. He obviously didn't want to die here.
The recruitment of the squad members carried out by the senior participants was over. Fate determines Asna, Iyan and Irvan are joined in a squad with two strong fighters at GWM SMA 25 Samarinda. They are Tympakul and Mawart's Motherly Man, who some time ago joined Bovak.
Irvan was given the authority to be the leader of the squad. While Asna had the honor to choose the right name for their squad.
“Perintis Jalan Squad Alignment! How?” asna said, giving advice.
“Penjasks?!” exclaim Iyan shocked. “That's the subject name!” continued.
Mawart also commented. “What is the meaning of a namui.. Eike agree aje!”
“If senior brother has agreed, we just set that name for our squad,” said Irvan who immediately responded. He then stood up. “I'll go sign up soon..”.
Iyan glanced at Asna and asked, “Where is the other senior sister, Na?”
