Chapter 52's. Raka's Death

That day Rama, Galih, Yuna and Ayu trained together in the back court of the mansion. They also demonstrate their manipulative abilities to be learned by other team members. Recognizing the ability of each member is one way to strengthen the ability of the team as a whole.

On the other hand, Dirga shut himself up in his room. He still feels annoyed when he hears the name of the person he considers to have killed Raka, his twin brother, touted by Rama. Moreover, it turns out that Julia also knows the person, even impressed to defend him.

Dirga noticed the data storage tool provided by Julia. It is quite small but has a huge storage capacity. Dirga was a little curious and pulled out his phone to be connected to the data storage device.

After successfully connecting, in the tool there is only one folder that contains a lot of short videos with neatly arranged title naming. Dirga opened the first video and how surprised he was when he saw Raka in the video. It turned out that it was a collection of videos that Raka deliberately made to document her daily activities.

[Day 1]

“Hai, this is my first video. Introduce, I'm Raka. I'm gonna document all the activities I've done with the greatest person I've ever met. I am now officially his student. You should also look at the prowess he has. You must be surprised.” Raka.

“I also have permission from my teacher to make this documentary video. What I'm about to learn here is something extraordinary and beyond human reason. Not many people know, but my teacher is convinced that someday this ability will become something that can be learned by everyone and change human life. I feel very lucky.”

“Raka, are you ready?” Ask someone outside the screen.

“Of course teachers. I'm very ready.”

“Turn off your video first so you can focus more. Next time buy a tripod or other tool that can help you make videos. So you don't have to bother holding your phone on.”

“Good teacher.” Raka answered while turning off the video camera.

[Day 2]

Huh.. huh.. huh. Raka looks stingy and out of breath while running slowly in a field that looks very spacious.

“I can't believe the training is this heavy. From yesterday I've been running around the field several tens of rounds non-stop. Today I still have to run. But keep the spirit.”

“Run faster.” The teacher shouted outside the video screen.

“Good teacher.” Raka answered still with a stingy breath.

“Yes already, I just want to convey this. I don't want to miss a day without making a video. Pain no gain.” Said Raka and turned off the video footage.

[Day 3]

“It's only the third day but it feels like I've been practicing for months. I don't have to run anymore today. But replaced with push ups, sit ups, pull ups and others. Since birth until this big, only this time I train the body intensely like this.”

“I guessed it, it seems like Raka also has something to do with the project owned by Pandawa Group. Did he learn directly from one of the Pandavas?” Think Dirga.

I watched all the videos one by one. The first to thirty videos are about monotonous exercise. Run, push up, sit up, pull up and others. But something started to differ since the 31st video.

[Day 31]

“He said, my teacher will introduce someone.” Said Raka speaking towards the camera.

“That girl is very pretty.” Said Raka who then changed the camera mode to the back screen of her phone so that it looks a beautiful woman who slowly approached her.

He was surprised to see the woman.

“Halo, I'm Julia. You must be Raka huh? I was asked here to meet and help you practice.” Julia

“So you're the one my teacher will introduce. Teacher where?”

“Master Asoka is on need.” Answer Julia.

Julia's words again made Dirga surprised with wide eyes.

“The devil is the teacher of Raka and Julia? What really happened?” Thought Dirga was confused.

The following days Raka and Julia practiced together. Julia taught him everything he knew. In one of the videos, it is known that Julia has not long been Asoka's student. It was only a month before Raka was also chosen to be his disciple. Despite that, Julia was a very genius. He managed to master all the techniques taught by Asoka in a short period of time. Not only that, Julia was also able to develop all the techniques she learned to then adjust to her own characteristics.

[Day 60]

“You should see this.” Shouted Raka with great enthusiasm. Then he raised his right hand with his palm facing upwards which suddenly let out a ball of energy.

“Keren right? Already yes, I continue training again.” Raka said with a proud face.

“Stupid basis. It took him 60 days just to make that little energy ball.” Said Dirga with a small smile.

On the 120th day Raka managed to make her first energy manipulation and managed to control her abilities to the full on the 360th day.

[Day 361]

“Today I have purchased a tool that can record all activities without having to hold the phone again. Here's the tool.” Raka said while showing the pouch bag holder placed on his shoulder so that the phone can be stored there and continue to record with a forward-looking angle.

“You two have mastered energy manipulation very well. But this is just the beginning, your abilities are not yet strong enough. You must continue to practice and develop your abilities.” Asoka.

It was the first video to show Asoka's face. It was also the first time Dirga had seen Asoka's face from such a close distance. It turned out that Asoka had a very handsome and charismatic face. His eyes imply firmness, whereas his smile implies tenderness. The good looks of Asoka could not even be compared to Dirga, Galih and Rama. Just by looking at his face alone, Dirga who originally hated Asoka was slowly starting to doubt his hatred.

“There is nothing more I can teach you. And again, it looks like in the near future I will go far.” Continue Asoka.

“But before you go, I want to leave something to you both. What I have taught is something very powerful and dangerous. You two are pioneers and you have a duty to continue my teachings, but do not choose the wrong people. The survival of humanity is on your shoulders.” His word.

“What do you mean, sir?” Ask Julia.

“You're still stiff huh Julia. How many times have I told you, don't call me ‘tuan’.” Asoka.

“You are a teacher as well as a person whom I have great respect for.” Answer Julia.

“Terussle.” Asoka.

“So, what did you mean earlier, sir?” Julia asked the same question again.

“I don't understand at all, sir.”

“I'm also confused. What exactly does the teacher mean?”

“I don't have much time to explain. The point is that you have the mandate to spread my teachings and protect everyone with the strength that you have today. Do you guys understand?”

“Good sir. I'll do as you say.” Julia.

The words expressed by Asoka this time really changed Dirga's view. He began to feel admiration for Asoka.

After that conversation, Asoka was never seen again. Julia and Raka felt very lost. Despite that, the two of them still continued to train together to improve each other's abilities. As per Asoka's request, they were also planning to look for someone else they would make disciples of.

Unknowingly, Dirga had seen almost all of the short videos made by Raka. There is a video with a strange title. If other videos are neatly arranged with sequential titles, this last video is just a collection of numbers.

“What Raka forgot to change the title of this video huh?” Think Dirga.

Dirga also opened and saw the contents of the video. How surprised Dirga to see the scene in the video. Fire was everywhere, buildings were falling apart and corpses were falling apart.

“What are you doing, Raka?” Shouted Julia who was trying to avoid the attacks carried out by Raka.

“I can't control myself, Julia.” Shouted Raka.

“That's right, what do you mean?” Julia asked as she continued to try to avoid.

“Dead you.” Suddenly, Raka's voice turned heavy.

Julia was very surprised to hear the sound and made her lose concentration. A hard punch managed to hit Julia's face and sent her crashing away.

Seeing Julia crash does not then make Raka stop attacking. He moved quickly and carried out endless attacks on Julia and left her lying helpless.

“Why can you be this strong? Who are you?” Ask Julia who is dying.

“Ask that to Asoka in hell.” Raka said with a terrible heavy voice.

Raka looks to be back to attack Julia who is seriously injured. But suddenly he was bounced away by an unknown attack. It was then that Asoka again appeared before his two students.

“Lord Asoka, thank goodness you came.” Julia said.

“Thank you for keeping your promise to protect people.” Reply Asoka.

“I didn't keep my promise, sir. Many people are dead and I can't do anything.” Julia's face turned sad.

“At least you have tried.” Answer Asoka.

“Please save Raka. I don't know what happened to him.” Julia Pinta.

“He's not Raka. Raka's been dead ever since the creature possessed her body.”

“What?!” Julia surprised. Tears slowly flowed down his face.

“Who are you referring to?” Julia asked while holding back her emotions.

“Stop your reunion. Come fight me Asoka.” Raka.

“Cursed creatures.” Shouted Asoka who quickly moved towards Raka.

Asoka and Raka fought very hard. They move very fast. The energy that is being released is so great. In some video scenes, a glimpse of Julia's face that looks very surprised by what she is watching. Dirga also briefly saw himself who was also on the scene.

The fight was fierce, but it didn't last long. Raka was cornered, the attacks made by Asoka made him helpless.

“You have injured Julia, killed Raka and possessed her body. I'll repay all of your deeds.” Said Asoka who looked very angry.

“Have you been satisfied to defeat me who only uses this weak body?” Said Raka who then laughed horribly.

Asoka looked increasingly upset. Enragement peaked. He carried out an attack that ended all of that.

Dirga turned off the phone. His gaze was empty and his body drooped limp. What he had just seen had really taken him by surprise.

“What I just saw is completely different to what I used to see. What is that creature, actually? They ruined and destroyed whatever was in front of his eyes. Raka also died from being possessed by one of the creatures. What creature that possessed Raka was the leader and the main cause of the great disaster at that time?” Thought Dirga with cold sweat running down her forehead.

When Dirga saw the video, he, no less surprising is the fact that the disaster that occurred several years ago was caused by an attack of invisible creatures that can only be seen by a few people. Dirga used to be completely unaware of the arrival of the creatures, but at this time he could clearly see their ugly forms.
