Wanara Project

Chapters 10. Core control

Rama, Galih, Dirga, Yuna and Ayu were finally able to rest and fall asleep in their respective rooms after going through a tiring journey to go to Mandalawangi Peak.

The next day….

“Don't Lazy..!!! Run tight..!!” Darma shouted loudly. Rama, Galih, Dirga and Yuna run around a field the size of a football field behind the Project Wanara mansion.

Rama is in the leading position followed by Galih, Dirga and Yuna. Everyone looked very tired and bathed in sweat. Galih, Dirga and Yuna had run 10 rounds whereas Rama had run 10 rounds early so Rama had currently run 20 rounds.

“Pak Darma's…. Until when does running continue like this..?!!” rama asked Darma.

“This is the last round.” Answer Darma.

“Thankful...” Think Rama.

After one round has passed...

“Rama add 2 rounds, others stop and rest.” Darma said.

“Pak Darma, what the fuck is this.!!?” rama's protest did not take.

“Add 4 rounds....!!” Darma.

“Not Fair..!! The others have stopped but why do I still have to run.!!!”

“Again nothing with that Ayu..!!” Rama gets even more upset when he sees Ayu who just sits sweet and drinks a glass of warm tea with Julia while watching the other team members run.

“Aduuuhhh….. Looks like Ayu's legs are getting swollen nih” said Ayu pretending to look in pain.

“ Rama looked at Ayu with a feeling of annoyance.

“Add 6 rounds...!!” said Darma.

“Aaargghhhh Siaaaal..!!”

“Add 8 rounds...!!” Darma.

“Woooooyyy....!!!” Shouted Rama.

“Add 10 rounds..!!” Darma.

“Quite-quite sorry.. Ready 10 Rounds...!!” rama shouted resignedly and was forced to run another 10 rounds.

“The spirit of brother Rama..” shouted Ayu cheering Rama.

“Come Rama…. Spirit... Ha Ha Ha Ha..” cried Galih while laughing.

“Hey... insolent you Galih...!!” said Rama.

“Add....” words Darma tehenti.

“No no.... maaaaaaaaf...” said Rama cut Darma's speech while accelerating his run.

Finally 10 additional rounds for Rama was completed. Rama lay with a breath. Other team members look fresher because they have got enough rest while waiting for Rama to finish running.

“Your heating is complete, we continue the next exercise..” cried Darma.

“Heating...?!!” Rama was surprised by the words thrown by Darma.

“Pak Darma maaaaaaf…. Can I rest first?” ask Rama politely.

“Tam...” Again, Darma's speech stopped.

“No….!!! Let's continue the next exercise..!” rama shouted pretending to be excited.

“Baguuuss..!” sahut Darma

“I was going to say, it seems that you really need some time to rest. But I will not lower your spirit Rama. Let's continue..!” darma without any sense of sin.

“ Rama dumbfounded.

“Argghhhhh..” shouted Rama followed by the laughter of the other team members.

Exercise continues until lunch break to restore energy. After resting and eating, the exercise resumes until the afternoon. On that day Rama had run as many as 50 rounds, doing

push ups and sit ups as many as 50 times, as well as other physical exercises that Rama himself does not count in number. But of course the portion given by Rama is more than other team members. This was done to optimize the abilities possessed by Rama.

Exercises like this continue to be done repeatedly and consistently for 1 month with an increase in the portion of exercise as much as 2 times every 2 weeks. Ayu who was only able to do physical training on the third day tried very hard to be able to catch up.

One Month Later….

“I lelaaaaaaaah...” said Rama.

Tiiiggg…..  [9]

“Huft... At least the value of this damn potential goes up one number” he added while looking at his watch.

“You have been training your physique consistently for a whole month. This afternoon will be a little different..” said Darma.

“Are we going to add another portion of training Mr. Darma.?” asked Rama bowed lethargic and resigned.

“No...” Answer Darma firmly.

“Now we will teach you about CORE” he added.

“What is it?” yuna asked opening the conversation.

“Try you guys see a big tree there” said Darma while pointing to one of the big trees in the area.

Darma raised his hand parallel to his shoulder, pointed at the tree with his right index finger and suddenly…

Duuuaaaaaarrrrr.r.a.n.a huge explosion destroyed the tree and shocked everyone.

“.........” all team members are smitten and have no idea what just happened.

“Crazy... what is it.?!!” Shouted Galih.

“The explosion was generated from CORE manipulation. In short, CORE can be referred to as inner power energy or inner power.” Darma begins the explanation.

“From now on you will learn about it. Your physique should be trained enough to be able to learn CORE”.

“Hebaaaat…. It was great Mr. Darma” shouted Rama so excited that he forgot his tiredness.

“So later we can all do that huh sir?” ask Ayu.

“Surely, even something greater than that” replied Darma.

“Waaaaaw....” Ayu is very impressed.

“Then let's start Mr. Darma, what are you waiting for...!!!!” ask Rama.

“Huft... The basis of impatient” said Darma

“You rest first. We will gather in the hall at 7pm.” Added.

“Baiiikkk.....!” Shouts all members in unison.

At exactly 7pm, the entire team had gathered in the hall located within the mansion. Darma and Julia have been preparing to provide their next training.

“As you already know, now we will teach you about how to train CORE.” Julia opened up an explanation.

“Tadi afternoon Mr. Darma has shown how CORE works by blowing up a big tree. It was the result of CORE manipulation carried out by Mr. Darma” he added.

“Julia, can you blow up a big tree too?” rama asked a little jokingly.

Suddenly Julia raised her hand to shoulder height and pointed at Rama using her index finger…

“Do Mr Rama want to try it?” julia asked with a slight smile.

“ Rama was shocked and could not say anything. Rama's body felt terrified.

“Sorry to surprise you Mr. Rama. I was just kidding” Julia added while apologizing.

“Tadi what is it? I can't move a bit. Extremely terrible pressure.” Rama thought in his heart.

“Different from Mr. Darma, Julia actually feels more frightening” Dirga and other team members also think similarly.

Next Julia explains about CORE specifically and in detail. CORE is the inner energy or inner power that is naturally possessed by everyone. But few people are able to take advantage of and optimize it.

The earlier people who practiced martial arts had the ability to control CORE very well. They use the art of breathing acquired through years of rigorous training.

What they did at the time was an incredible achievement. Some can lighten the body and walk on water, some can fly, some can make a big explosion, some can regenerate the body, some can even do the raga sukma. But that remarkable achievement is only a fraction of the true CORE ability.

“That's what CORE” means Julia said.

“Julia, how far can we use CORE? Ask Ayu

“Basically there are no restrictions in the use of CORE. But the ability of CORE depends on the natural condition of each person.” Answer Julia.

“Now notice and feel...” Julia closed her eyes for a while and poured CORE energy throughout the mansion hall.

“What feeling is this? Feels very comfortable...” Thought Yuna in her heart.

“Great, very comfortable and soothing. Is this also CORE?” ask Galih.

“Betul, this is the result of CORE energy manipulation. Unlike the first energy filled with negative pressure, this manipulation has a positive impact on people who are desired by CORE” controllers, Julia replied.

“In short, the master and the lady can make the CORE as the destructive energy, as well as the healing energy” he added.

“Grooookk….. Grooookk.

Rama was asleep while snoring in a standing position. It seems that the energy released by Julia feels very comfortable for Rama.

“Which is right, he could have fallen asleep.” thought Dirga.

“Kak Rama, let's get up..” Ayu tries to wake Rama up. His efforts were stopped by Darma.

“Ssssttt Darma gives a sign to stop and not be noisy.

“Rama, add 10 rounds......!!!!” Shouted Darma very loudly and instantly woke Rama up.

“Siaaaaaaaaap Rama swiftly responded to Darma's orders and started running followed by the laughter of the rest of the team.
