Papepa 8: The Arrow Trick

*The Arrow Fighters (Papepa)*

“How is Uncle's assessment of Pamong Sukarat?” tanya Alma suddenly shifted the topic of conversation.

Rather surprised Adya Bangira got such a question.

“I have important business with Uncle Pamong Sukarat, but I have never met him,” added Alma.

“In my opinion, Pamong Sukarat is a naughty office. I suspected him for some reason, because his movements and attitude were suspicious. However, I do not want to cause a conflict that makes the Duchy look unsafe,” replied Adya Bangira.

“Examples of suspicious moves are like what, Uncle?” ask Alma.

“Some times he asked me for money for things that Gusti Adipati did not order. I could have disputed the vague request, but Pamong Sukarat commanded the security forces under Gusti Adipati,” Adya Bangira replied.

“But, after tomorrow's match, Uncle Pamong Sukarat will end!” alma toilet.

“What will you do, Alma?” asked Adya Bangira, she was a little surprised.

“Only cleanse the Duchy of Balongan from bad people like Pamong Sukarat,” Alma replied with a smile. Then he said to Arung Seto and Ariang Banu, “Come, let's see how great your archery is, Kakang!”

“Come!” sahut Arung Seto.

After the meal, Arung Seto and Ariang Banu took Alma Fatara to the back of the house. Adya Bangira, Aning Sulasih and Magar Kepang joined to see the show. The two sons of the Duchy Treasurer looked so excited.

Now, Arung Seto and Ariang Banu have held a bow in their left hand. While Alma stood alone as far as five spears in front of them. That is the distance that will be used when fighting arrows.

In tomorrow's match at the riverfront square, the Arrow Fighters will go through some kind of match. At its peak, as many as twelve Arrow Fighters will be pitted in two groups, until finally there will be only one Arrow Fighter left.

“You are free to use sharp arrows, no need to hesitate!” the Exclamation of Alma Fatara.

“Good, get ready, Alma!” exclaimed Ariang Banu while pulling his bow strings.

“Wait wait wait!” agar Kepang shouted as he advanced to the front of Arung Seto and Ariang Banu. He raised both his hands high sign “tahan”.

Magar Kepang then turned to Alma.

“Alma, are you sure you will do this?” ask the unsure Magar Kepang.

“Why is it now that Uncle Magar prevents?” ask Alma.

“Hehehe! I didn't have a problem, but after I saw the arrow, I hesitated,” to Magar Kepang.

“Hahaha! Take it easy, Uncle. I promise to take you back to Iwakculas Village. Now move aside, Uncle!” said Alma.

“Good, well, well,” said Magar Kepang obediently.

Magar Kepang immediately went to the side.

The set!

As Magar Kepang was sidelined, Ariang Banu immediately released his arrows to Alma. This surprised both of his parents.

“Ariang!” exclaimed Adya Bangira with glaring eyes. “Why did you take off the arrow so suddenly?”

“Hehehe! But Alma is okay, Father,” said Ariang Banu while grinning.

Yes, Alma Fatara is okay. He could easily dodge Ariang Banu's arrows.

“Is it just one arrow?” alma Fatara asked with a smile.

“Awas, Alma!” arung Seto shouted while taking off his arrows.

The set!

“Great!” praise Alma while smiling. “But nothing yet. Come on, show me the best!”

“Do not hesitate, Kakang!” ariang Banu said to his brother.

Arung Seto nodded. The two compactly took the arrow from the tube that stood on the floor. When they put up the arrows, the bow position was still facing down.

As if compact counting in the heart, both compact also directly raise his left hand straight holding a bow, while the finger of the right hand releases his clasp on the tail of the arrow.

Set sets!

Two arrows shot out quickly, invisible to the eyes could. However, it was still with calm that Alma shifted a step at the right time. The two arrows just passed by and went to the grassy ground in the back of the house.

“I can't believe our arrow can't touch Alma!” his Arung Seto.

He then refilled his bow with a fast movement and without a pause, directly shooting Alma. That's what Arung Seto did over and over again.

Seeing his brother do that, Ariang Banu then did the same thing, which was archery Alma repeatedly without pause.

As a result, Alma Fatara dodged the crossbow's attack with a quick movement anyway, so the beautiful girl was like dancing as her body tilted to it, tilted to it here, sliding to the right, so that the beautiful girl was like dancing as her body tilted to it, swipe to the left, even his two hands moved like swans flapping their wings.

Until then, Arung Seto and Ariang Banu's arrows ran out in the tube.

The set! Tuk tuk!

How surprised Arung Seto and Ariang Banu when two arrows shot and each hit the chest of the brothers. The two arrows did not strike, but reflected off the ground. The hit of the arrow was enough to make the two young men lined up.

“Hahaha!” the Laughter of Alma Fatara.

On the last two arrows that attacked him, Alma caught it with both hands. Then he turned it upside down to Arung Seto and Ariang Banu. Therefore, the arrow that hit the chest of the two did not stab, but bounced.

The attack on his two children made Adya Bangira and his wife was surprised. However, they were relieved when they saw the two arrows fall to the floor and knew that the arrows shot upside down.

“You both died! Hahaha!” alma then laughed.

It's true, if Alma slid the arrow upside down, then maybe they'd been stabbed to death.

“Now I shoot you with a blunt arrow,” said Alma.

In addition to sharp arrows, Arung Seto and Ariang Banu also have blunt arrows that are intended for training.

It was Alma Fatara's turn holding a bow and arrow, but the arrow was blunt. Alma even added up the distance by taking a few steps back. On the other hand, Arung Seto and Ariang Banu prepared for an attack.

The set! The set! Sets …!

“Akk! Aw! Akk ..!”

The brothers screamed repeatedly as all the arrows released by Alma all hit the target. Their screams sounded funny, making the father laugh.

“Hahahak ..!” alma's laughter broke out after the stock of her blunt arrows ran out.

Arung Seto and Ariang Banu can only pant with a frowning face, because the blows of the dulled arrows left bruises on some of the affected points.

“If it's like this, kaliah will run out. There is no hope of winning. Look, all my arrows hit the target,” Alma said as she walked closer to the two handsome youths.

Alma handed the bow to Arung Seto.

“I suggest, you guys practice crossbow. When you become a target, pay attention to the hand of the archer holding the tail of the arrow. After that, measure the arrow speed and distance. If the count is right, it will easily avoid arrows, because the archer will definitely aim at the target exactly. And I suggest, if your target can dodge the arrow well, then don't aim for his body, but aim for his right or left side to play with luck. However, if you can slide the arrow with the power in as good as with the bow, it is better to use the power in, it has more style that can be difficult to read,” said Alma.

“Good, we will practice,” said Arung Seto.

“I permission to leave, Uncle!” alma said to Adya Bangira. (BH)
