Episode 39 Fire and Wind
That morning almost all the villagers of Upper Clouds gathered in the courtyard of Ki Elang Langit's house to watch the quarter-final match. The four participants each represented each college in the village of Upper Clouds.
The participant with the number 1 sequence is the Eastern Sky school swordsman named Pancala. Swordsman with sequence number 2 is a Western Sky school swordsman named Adrini. Participants with sequence number 3 are the North Sky school swordsman named Ajiraga, and participants with sequence number 4 are the Southern Sky college swordsman named Andaru.
The four participants were the best young warriors representing each college. Ki Elang Langit held that match every year to encourage the warriors in the Upper Clouds village to continue to develop their abilities. Therefore, this match is a very important event in the village of Upper Clouds.
The winner will not get any money or property, but some natural mustika to increase the devotion and title of swordsman which is an invaluable honor for the swordsman over the clouds.
The participants and the audience were ready in their respective places. Ki Elang Langit gave a speech as well as being a judge in the match. So he announced a special match that will be held in the middle and end of the event.
“Brothers all, today we will continue the match as well as the kanuragan test that we started yesterday. Today we also have a special guest from Cemara Seribu who will play a friendly match. Hopefully with the match, we can all get the important knowledge and experience to develop the path of the swordsman we take.”
“Based on the draw, then the first match will be the match of the participants with sequence numbers 2 and 4, namely Adrini from the West Sky and Andaru from the Southern Sky college, and next is the sequence number 1 and 3, namely Pancala from the Eastern Sky college and Ajiraga from the Northern Sky college. Please participants in the first session prepare themselves.” Said Ki Eagle Sky.
Adrini and Andaru are preparing to showcase their best achievements over the years to train their channel. The participant will be declared defeated if he gives up or leaves the arena and falls to the ground. The arena was a stone-floored stage that was not too broad. The audience sat cross-legged around the stage.
Ki White Eagle advanced to the middle of the arena to summon participants. Adrini and Andaru entered the arena exchanging greetings and respect, then put up the horses.
“Release your best ability, Adrini.” Said Andaru smiling as he looked at his opponent with a standby look.
“I'll definitely do it, Andaru. Prepare your best defense.” Reply Adrini. He then radiated his energy at peak level, then he suddenly disappeared from sight. A second later, he threw a punch from above Andaru.
Andaru had read Adrini's energy movements and deftly repelled the attack with an energy shield. The friction of the two swordsman energies caused a great bang. Had the audience not been high-scientific warriors, they would have bounced around.
Andaru did not want to lose, immediately he counterattacked with high speed and energy so that the punches he made were barely visible to ordinary eyes. Adrini was still able to fend off each of those very fast attacks, but again he disappeared from sight
suddenly appeared behind Andaru and threw a loud punch
and cannot be avoided by Andaru.
Andaru bounced, yet he still controlled himself. It stands floating from the ground. Adrini did something similar. Now their fighting arena is wider because they do not touch the floor. The two of them attacked each other in the air with wind attacks. The two warriors had a good ability of managing energy to control the air as a deadly weapon.
Jalu and Niken clucked in awe at the speed of the swordsman's attack on the Clouds. From the beginning, the three of them studied every move made by Adrini and Andaru. The Upper Clouds village swordsmen have excellent body lightening science and they will master the battleground without treading the ground. l While, they will be able to, Batari Closed his eyes to re-establish the knowledge of the Book of Heaven that he had learned.
The arena of the match was turned into a powerful whirlwind resulting from the power struggle Adrini and Andaru who used the same style. This was a decisive moment because the winner was predictable, namely that they both had greater energy.
A while later, the whirlwind swallowed Andaru's body and threw it to the ground. Adrini's punch that had previously hit Andaru's back had made him lose a lot of energy and at the peak of that power struggle, Andaru was defeated decisively.
“The winner is Adrini.” Shouted Ki The Sky Eagle.
That first match was over. Andaru fell unharmed. He was disappointed with his failure to represent his college for honor. With bitter feelings, he smiled and congratulated Adrini.
“Good my brothers and sisters. As I promised, after this first game, the next is a friendly. One of the guest swordsmen from Padepokan Cemara Seribu, Jalu Pamungkas, will compete with a title swordsman from the West Sky college, namely Mata Angin. Both warriors are welcome to prepare.” Ki Eagle Sky announced.
Jalu and swordsman Mata Wind entered the arena of the match. Both exchanged
greetings and introduce yourself briefly.
“I Jalu Finally from Padepoka Cemara Seribu. It is an honor to
compete against Mata Angin.”
“I Swordsman Mata Angin from West Sky college, it is an honor for me to compete with the swordsman body fire.” Reply to the Wind Curtain.
Jalu did not expect before if Ki White Eagle would pair himself with one of the titled swordsman who is approximately 40 years old. His opponent is his senior, if viewed through his status and age.
On the contrary, the Wind Eyes swordsman did not want to underestimate Jalu who had the science of fire and 8 active senses on his body. In this case, both have equal energy capacity. However, the Wind Eye swordsman had more experience in combat throughout his life.
“Aready?” Ask the Wind Curtains.
“Ready, uncle.” Reply Jalu. Both of them started to radiate their body energy. Jalu let out a heat that made some spectators in the front row choose to retreat away from the arena of the match.
The hot air was widening as the radiance of the Wind Eye's short energy caused a whirlwind around the arena. Jalu prepared to exert an attack from his fire stance which he had developed after he absorbed some natural mustika that drastically improved his abilities. Now its capacity allows to create a very dangerous fire arrow.
