TRIBAL SABUNG
Chapters. 29 - Dorm -

The sound of the gongs of the match signs starting was heard. The first attacker was Malik, he flicked his hand, like throwing something. It turned out that a golden keris was hurtling fast, right towards Radit. The mature brown-skinned teenager rushed to dodge. But the keris followed him, like glue, moving along wherever Radit went.

“Newly this time I saw people wearing keris!” The sky cried out enthusiastically.

“How does he make a keris move like that?” Ivano, who was half intent on paying attention, is now following the focus. “I don't see him calling khodam.”

Malik continued to concentrate, he was like having telepathy with his keris. Meanwhile Radit had no intention of continuing to dodge. The teenager immediately jumped to attack Malik. He had been trying to reduce the distance between the two of them.

Keris against pencak silat. Radit's martial arts aren't so bad. The sky nodded enthusiastically, he and Ivano both praised the teenager. But unfortunately, that's all Radit can do. Almost five minutes of the match went on, there was no sign of the strength of the tribe. The supervisor stopped the match.

“The match is over, the winner is Malik Waruk!”

Malik looked at Radit with a mocking look and a slanted smile. It is unfortunate, but one of the requirements to pass the entrance examination is to show one of the abilities obtained after the Blood Tribe. Radit who since the beginning of the game only exerted martial skills, of course did not qualify.

The teenager lowered his head, his breathing roared and his body was flooded by sweat. He has given all his abilities. But it was not enough, his heart was sick. Imagine having to go home by bringing news of failure to both parents.

Sky and Ivano watched in silence, the figure of Radit walking back to the seat while occasionally wiping away his tears.

“Very unfortunate,” muttered Sky without taking his eyes off Radit.

Ivano sighed softly, “Indeed, it is the law of nature. You managed to raise even the Blood Tribe not enough to rise to the top. Especially if you don't get up at all, it's unfortunate. His martial skills are good, but that's it.”

Ivano's remarks may seem rude, but that's how the tribal world is. After following the developments about the World Tribal Cup, Sky began to understand. In this world, those from the greatest, most respected tribes, will always have the glory of the world.

Not only that, the other side of the world that overestimated the Blood Tribe made some of them racist. Children are not spared from this behavior, as experienced by Radit.

For a moment Sky touched his right eye, these bright blue eyes became a new question. All this time he never got dizzy or thought about it. She had indeed felt different from her peers, and accepted her unique condition. But what if it turns out that the reason Heaven has blue eyes, is because he is of mixed blood.

‘I've just seen a tribe of palembang like you.’

Even Yohan had once alluded to him when Sky started his practice. What if it turns out to be true, he is indeed of mixed blood. Will Heaven receive harsh treatment like Radit did?

“Langit” exclamation from Ivano instantly resuscitated the teenager.

His blue bead blinked, startled, looking in such a big room lived himself and Ivano. It seemed like the second stage examination had already been completed from earlier. The teenager immediately stood up, smiling shyly at Ivano.

“Ma-sorry, I thought of something earlier.”

For a moment Ivano looked at her after goal, like he was bulldozing her friend's head. It made Heaven sweat cold, afraid that his sidekick knew what his anxiety was.

“Ale zinc is thinking of a strange thing, right?”

Right on target like always, sometimes Sky thinks Ivano can really read someone's mind. The teenager laughed awkwardly, trying to look ordinary.

“It's weird how, I just thought later tonight what dinner.” The sky tries to dodge.

It took about a week until further notice. During the wait for the test results, Langit always spent his time in the Nusantara Union. Train with junior champions to prepare for matches, as well as level-up tests. While the Senior Jawara is training harder, considering the World Tribal Cup Tournament will restart next year.

Until finally arrived also a letter of notification of the results of the exam. The sky immediately ran towards the living room, Regi was already there with Fuji. Both parents agreed to go home early. They wanted to read the results of the entrance examination together.

“Sit here, babe!” Fuji patted the seat beside him. Regi stood behind his wife.

The sky, sitting next to the mother. Fuji immediately opened the brown letter with a seal that could only be opened with the Sanjaya family stamp. This is done to avoid falsification of the contents of the letter. Given that letters sent or received from the West Indonesia Regional Academy are confidential.

“Ahem!” started Fuji without being able to hide his tense smile. “Inform Sky Sanjaya candidates who have taken the entrance exam of the new wave I student admission, that the candidate is declared to pass with the best grade. It is expected to prepare everything necessary to enter the academy dormitory and also prepare a speech as a representative of new students at the new student admission event on hari–”

The sky immediately cheered happily, he did a high five with Regi. Both of his parents smiled and looked at him proudly. Fuji had already kissed his son's forehead and hugged the Sky tightly.

“Good work, Sky.” Regi praised his son sincerely.

“Thank you, Papa!”

“Although actually Mama is a little sad, because you have to enter the dormitory. But not as big as a sense of pride in your success.”

***

Not only Sky, his best friend Ivano also passed the exam. They immediately prepared all the necessities to stay in the dormitory. During school, Sky and Ivano activities as one of the Jawara in the Nusantara Union will be a little loose. They only need to come to training four times a month.

For this, Ivano was the most pleased. Ambon teenagers are often skipped training and choose to sleep. Just one day before the reception ceremony for the new students, Sky and Ivano were already in the Academy dormitory located at the back of the building.

The four-story dormitory, women's room and men's room are separated by a central building, where the recreation room is located. Fortunately the students were free to determine their own rooms, so Sky and Ivano could be in the same room.

After tidying up the items, Sky and Ivano decided to go down to the first floor, going to the recreation room. There some of the first-graders who graduated gathered to get acquainted. The sky was staring around, the goods met with people he knew despite the slim possibility.

“Heh! Sky, look there.” Ivano suddenly whispered, pointing with his chin.

The teenager followed the designated direction, and his forehead shriveled faintly. In front of the fireplace, there were about five children. In the middle of the crowd was Malik Waruk, sitting with his face raised and chest crossed.

“Let's go,” invite Sky who does not want to deal with Malik.

Ivano followed, in fact he was already impatient to see Malik's arrogant face turn irritated. But he followed the sky to the dormitory cafeteria. The dining area here is quite spacious, with many table tables in the middle of the room. The sky watched the surroundings closely, then nodded in satisfaction.

“Ale was like it was a sudden inspection,” Ivano chuckled softly.

“We will stay here for three years, of course I have to look around!” The sky was about to turn, he was already satisfied to see the canteen.

The two of them went to another place, and did not realize someone had entered the cafeteria after them. The shadow looked like a girl, dressed all in black with a black bandana. For a moment he looked at the two teenagers, a back that reminded him of someone.
