Wanara Project

Chaptre 54. Interproject Competition

The day changed and all the project members, including Dirga, returned to training as usual in the field behind the mansion. Dirga who has known the truth behind Raka's death also approached Julia and apologized for the attitude and misunderstanding that occurred.

“Julia, I'm sorry. I've known everything.” Said Dirga while returning the data storage tool that was given by Julia yesterday.

Julia smiled and accepted the apology happily.

“Have you seen all the contents of that video?” Ask Julia.

“Already Julia, I didn't miss a single one.” Answer Dirga.

“Did nothing make you curious?

“There are so many questions. But I'm sure one thing, if it's time for us to know, you'll explain everything. My job right now is just to train and get stronger.” Dirga answered followed with a proud smile on Julia's face.

In the middle of the training session, Julia and Darma gathered all the members to see the potential value development after the special training was conducted. Rama, Galih, Dirga, Yuna and Ayu convey their respective potential values through the scanner watches.

“Speak the value of each of you potential so that we know the development you have achieved.” Darma.

“My potential value has not changed sir. Looks like this tool is broken.” Rama.

“No need to be too disappointed.” Sahut Darma who knows that the tool is useless if used by Rama.

“Value my potential 748.” Ayu

“Good. You have a pretty significant improvement.”

“If I'm 859.” Galih.

“Great. Your abilities have indeed greatly increased, Galih. What about Dirga?”

“I 907, Sir.” Answer Dirga.

“You almost went to the level of Ayuta. Fight more, you will feel a considerable change when you enter the level of Ayuta. Lastly, Yuna.”

“Value my potential 1.235, Sir.” Sahut Yuna's.

“Learnest. You are the first person to reach the level of Ayuta.” Say Darma with passion.

“Kak Yuna, you are great once.” Praise Ayu.

“Since the beginning Yuna was a really great person. I'm proud to be your friend, Yuna.” Galih also gave compliments.

Yuna smiled broadly at Ayu and Galih as a form of gratitude for the praise she received. His eyes glanced at Rama who looked glum. Yuna understood Rama's current condition. It seemed like Rama was a little disappointed with the results he got.

“Rama, don't be so moody. If you need a friend to practice with, just call me. I will always be ready to help you.” Yuna said with a beautiful smile.

“Thank you Yuna.” Rama answered briefly.

“Of course I'll help too. It should be a strong person helping the weak right?” Galih.

“Lack of you Galih!” Shouted Rama.

“That's the new Rama I know.” Connect Galih followed by the laughter of the rest of the team.

The words spoken by Yuna and Galih restored the spirit of Rama. The atmosphere was full of joy again.

“The increase that master and miss get is amazing. I congratulate all of you especially to Miss Yuna who has made it to the Ayuta.” stage Julia.

“There is one thing I need to tell you to ladies and gentlemen. I have received a message from the Pandawa secretary. Three more months will be held inter-project competition to find out the progress of all project members carried out by Pandawa Group. The competition will be held at Puncak Gunung Cikuray, or the training ground of Project Dasamuka.”

“So we're going to compete with those strong guys?” Tanya Galih bowed listlessly.

“What are you afraid of?” Tanya Dirga responded to Galih's words.

Galih was silent and gave no response.

“I understand your concerns, sir. But trust me with the abilities you have.” Julia.

“But they are very great people with a huge potential value, Julia. Our ability gap and they are too deep.” Sahut Galih's.

“Are you sure?” Ask Julia.

“Of course. Moreover, the competition will be conducted at the Project Dasamuka training ground. The best project among all projects run by Pandawa Group. We have no chance to win.”

“I'm disappointed.” Said Dirga coldly.

“I'm just being rational.” Sahut Galih's.

“It's not rational, but coward.” Dirga Response.

“Do not origin talk...!” Shouted Galih.

“Do you want to fight me?” Dirga replied coldly with a sharp look. Instead of flinched and gave no response at all because he knew it was impossible to defeat Dirga.

“Stupid basis. Why are you even fighting..!” Shouted Rama.

“Mau do not want, like not like, it has become the decision of Pandawa Group. The only thing we can do now is to train harder and show the best we can. It might be that they are stronger now, but three more months we will be on top of them.” Rama.

“Rama true. They may be strong people, but it is not impossible to defeat them.” Julia.

“Moreover, are you and miss really sure that they are that strong?” Ask Julia.

“What do you mean, Julia?” Ask Yuna.

“A genius won't get his genius if he's not sharpened and trained well. Vice versa, a person who is stupid and weak will become very smart and strong if he continues to struggle to train the abilities he has.”

“The key to our success is not the size of the potential value we have, but how we hone that potential.” Julia.

“You're right, Julia.” Galih.

“I'm sorry for looking like a coward. From now on we have to fight harder to be the best in the competition.” Reciprocity.

“Of course.” Dirga Sahut.

“Come fought....!” Suddenly Rama shouted and shocked everyone. However, without them knowing it, the scream also triggers their spirits that had decreased.

From then on, Rama, Galih, Dirga, Ayu and Yuna trained more vigorously. Exercise physical abilities, breathing techniques, energy flow and manipulation consistently. Sometimes they practice alone, sometimes together and share. Sometimes fatigue and saturation come over, but there will always be friends present and provide motivation.

A month passed and they were completely united. Two months passed with a focus on one vision. Three months later, the awaited day comes with a challenge. Challenges that not only test the abilities of the individual, but also test the bonds that have been established and combined.

Today all members of the women's project, including Julia and Darma, will leave for the summit of cikuray. They had gathered in front of the mansion gate and brought all the supplies they needed.

“Are you all ready. We will run towards the foot of Mount Mandalawangi. Helicopter has been waiting for us there.” Darma.

“Julia will be in front to guide you to not get lost. I'll run backwards just in case. With the abilities you have right now, I'm sure the trip this time will be very easy.” Reciprocity.

“Do not get left behind ya.” Said Julia who then ran quickly down Mount Mandalawangi Peak.

The whole team is following Julia. Not a single member was left behind. They can all follow every step Julia takes.

An hour later, they had arrived at the foot of Mount Mandalawangi and boarded the helicopter that had been waiting for them there. If they used to be like strangers who did not know each other, now they spend time talking and joking.

“It used to take us hours just to reach the top. But now we only need an hour. What's more, I don't feel tired in the least.” Galih.

“He is right, Galih. We have changed a lot.” Sahut Ayu's.

“Did you remember when your leg was sprained? You grimace and cry in pain, while I can do nothing and even bother because I am too tired. Fortunately there are Rama and Mr. Darma who help us.” Yuna said with a big smile.

“Don't reveal that again, sis. I'm being embarrassed. Back then our presence was just a burden.” Ayu said a little blushed.

“But you guys are very different. Ayu becomes more mature. While Yuna who used to be very cold and rarely smiled was now a very friendly and gentle woman.” Rama.

“Isn't her smile beautiful?” Ask Julia.

“Of course she is very beautiful.” Said Rama who unconsciously responded to the words of Julia.

“Eh, no Julia, I don't mean it.” Rama is wrong.

“So I'm not pretty?” Ask Yuna.

“Eh, not Yuna. I didn't mean it.” Rama is getting wrong. Suddenly everyone laughed. Rama was embarrassed.

“Kak Dirga, among all of us, the most secretive and rarely spoken sister. My brother reads every opportunity. Is Brother Dirga not bored?” Ask Ayu.

“Hus..” Galih gestured for Ayu not to speak like that.

Unexpectedly Dirga responded to Ayu's words, “I don't want to not talk, actually I also like to talk, but if it's gathered like this, sometimes I'm confused what to talk about. Sometimes I don't even have a topic at all and it gets awkward. That's why I always carry this book.”.

“Looks like Kak Dirga has a lot to learn from Kak Rama who always talk a lot to make others upset.” Ayu.

“Hey...” Shouted Rama. Again, everyone laughed loudly. The atmosphere at that time was so warm that without feeling they almost arrived at the Peak of Mount Cikuray.

“At the moment we arrive. Prepare your things and let no one be left behind.” Darma.

“As a warm-up, how about we race for a quick shootout to the top like we used to?” Ask Rama.

“Looks like it wasn't necessary, Rama. We will not go down at the foot of the mountain, but directly in the Dasamuka Project mansion. Coincidentally they got some helipad.” Julia.

“Helipad? Why is there no one in our mansion?” Shouted Rama.

“It's just a Helipad. Not something special.” Julia.

“But right...”.

“We arrived at Mansion Project Dasamuka.” Darma cuts off Rama's speech.

How surprised they were when they saw a mansion with a size several times larger than their own mansion.

“This is not a mansion, but a palace.” Said Rama lirih.
