The Power Of The Ruler Of Nature
Episode 6 (Betting, Swelling, Riding 2)

Raisa awakens from dreamland in the morning blind. He stretched his muscles that felt stiff. Then he got up from the couch and walked to the window. He opened the window directly in a gust of cold wind that hit the surface of the skin on his face and the arm made Raisa shiver. Raisa put her two hands to her chest.

“Morning air is so painful in my body down to the bone shaft and makes me feel like I'm freezing”, Raisa's monologue.

Raisa closed the window door back to the top of the cot to pick up an arrow and a robe that was draped over the table. He went to open the door without saying goodbye to Rigby. Then he walked down the dirt and grass to where he practiced the arrows.

While there, Raisa tried to do the first thing is meditate to practice concentration in her practice this time. Raisa sat down with her legs crossed, body upright, hands above her knees, neck not stiff, then chin slightly lowered while closing her eyes and taking a breath and then she exhaled. Raisa continues to do so until there is a living light behind her back and the light gets bigger and longer filling her body as if Raisa's body has a flashlight battery lit. The power that Raisa had felt by the beings around her was only temporary because the light suddenly dimmed instantly. Raisa who has that power doesn't feel. He only felt that his mind had calmed down this time.

After meditating for a long time, Raisa began practicing archery with a technique taught by Rigby.

“Focus, concentrate, calm the mind, then take a stance in the position of one limb in archery especially the position of the legs must be correct to determine the direction of archery. Both legs are opened shoulder-width apart by about 90 degrees in the direction of the target. Then place the bowstring into the nock or perforated behind the arrow for the ray spot. Third place the index finger at the top of the arrow, while the middle and ring fingers are below it. The handle should be loose to shoot the arrow at the right target. Fourth, lift the bow and pull the string back, then point the arm that is not pulling the string towards the target. Lastly aim and shoot towards the target. Then the arrows... Shoot!!”. Raisa flabbergasted then cheered, “finally hit the target in one exercise. Yes”.

“I have to do it back so Rigby is proud of me”.

In the middle of Raisa's training, Rigby arrives unbeknownst to Raisa with Damon. Rigby sees Raisa's skill in archery greatly improved making Rigby feel proud. Then at the end of the arrow that he aimed, Damon cheered with the typical sound of his horse loudly making Raisa turn towards the source of the sound.

“Damon”, call Raisa.

Damon went over by circling Raisa on top of her body and then lifted Raisa's body to her back with cheers until it made Raisa not stop laughing.

The pleasure was stopped by Rigby who kept calling Raisa. Damon takes Raisa in front of Rigby. Raisa got off her back with a good morning greeting while showing her teeth.

Rigby didn't reply. Rigby instead praised Raisa's dexterity in archery. Makes Raisa's heart expand with pleasure. Raisa immediately hugged Rigby body while saying thank you.

Then Rigby took Raisa to breakfast which he brought. Raisa throws her ass over the grass beside Rigby and Damon. Rigby invites Raisa to eat the food he makes. Raisa picked up one of the dishes Rigby had brought. Damon also gets the part. They enjoy the dishes that Rigby brings while talking about the exercises and to things that are not important with Damon.

“I'm glad to see you proficient in every exercise I teach you” Damon said as he sipped mineral water.

“One day you will be a great female knight. I hope you don't get too complacent. Still have to train your physical muscles and other strengths”, Rigby added.

“Oh yes, when will you finish practicing this?”, asked Damon in the middle of Rigby's conversation.

“Later there will be a time”, Raisa said with a smile.

“Old man, you don't be too hard on my little baby friend this”, Damon's pinta. Rigby didn't bother him.

“Later I will teach you the next exercise that is sword and horse riding. It's a very difficult thing and full of injuries if you're not careful in your training” Rigby said.

“Good uncle”, said Rigby.

“Well, I will be playing with you for a long time, Raisa”, Damon complained as he placed his head on Raisa's shoulder.

“Alright, because I am a good sahabt then I will wait until your training period finishes”, said Rigby with a little sadness.

“Thank you”, says Raisa.

...

The second exercise, Raisa is taught to practice the sword. Before starting to practice, Rigby explained the procedures in the sword. Rigby started to pull out the sword. The sword held by Rigby is approximately 1.5 meters. Raisa is flabbergasted by the sword Rigby has. Rigby noticed Raisa's expression of admiration.

“Your expression is very unpleasant to look at. Don't be too impressed by what you just saw. You better focus in practice”, Rigby asserted. Raisa at first glance changed her expression with the look of knitting style. Rigby doesn't care about Raisa's expression. Rigby begins to explain the sword in combat.

“This sword is often used in fighting or war”. Rigby rubbed the sword.

“If you don't want to be hit by the sharpness of the sword I'm holding, you should pay attention to the combat scenario. That's why I teach you various kinds of martial arts to train to your focus especially in kung fu martial arts. Martial kung fu can balance your strength and focus in every fight. Well, to fight the most important enemy and remember, you must be vigilant around you, where you fight. Concentration can be, but, be more alert especially the enemies that you will face they are very tough. Did you understand it until here?”

Raisa nodded her head as a sign of understanding.

“Thankful if you understand..”, Rigby said.

“Am I allowed to start practicing swords?”

“Sure.., not yet”, Rigby said with a brief smile.

“Tak only be vigilant, you also have to be observant to observe the battle environment. If you are not observant, you can die without bringing anything”, said Rigby as he pedaled his sword right in front of Raisa. Raisa was shocked and fell. Rigby smiled cynically.

“Be relaxed, keep your body balanced so you can attack and fend off without getting hit or scratched. Do the fight carefully, do not do rashly, especially against reliable fighters you can die, you have to control yourself and focus so that your life is not fluttered. Protect yourself well because a strong defense is most likely you can win the fight. Keep your weapons always ready, while paying attention to the attacks they make on you. Find and maintain an ideal distance based on the balance between your range and the enemy. Always try to be calm and confident because this attitude is very necessary in fighting the enemy to determine the outcome. This method is an effective strategy”, explained Rigby.

“I will do as you say uncle”, Raisa said.

“Good. You must always remember all the words I describe”, Rigby said.

“In the open you should know the situation and the flow of the battle. You have to control yourself when the fight starts. Then don't expect the fight to be dramatic. Do not rotate your body in a circle, it makes your defense open and then attacked by the enemy. Then you have to make other strategies such as intimidating the enemy. For example showing off your dexterity in weaving swords and others”, explained Rigby.

“Are you getting bored?”, asked Rigby by raising an eyebrow next to him.

“No uncle. I'll do as you explain. And I will remember in my little brain this”, said Raisa with a show of teeth to cover up the boredom described by Rigby so that he did not get angry.

“Alright, we start practicing. Let's raise the sword I brought” Rigby said.
