**
The atmosphere in the underground city of Karanganyar City looks like usual. The entire army was training together without their comrades who were training to become Special Student Forces.
Especially for Jo, he looks not as excited as there is Nio in training.
Now he was doing sword fighting exercises with his teammates. But the real sword is too valuable just to practice ‘real fight’. Instead, each soldier uses a wooden beam that has the same length and weight as the original sword.
Jo's partner who will be his opponent notices Jo, like there is something strange with him.
“Hei Jo, are you sick?” ask her partner who is watching Jo.
“Eh? No really. But it feels like when there is no Nio like there is less,” Jo replied limply and propped herself up with wooden beams.
“Truely too, it's possible that he's making a surprise there.”
“Can only.”
After that Jo began to clash wooden beams with colleagues in front of him by slashing blindly. His partner simply repelled all of Jo's attacks directed at him.
Meanwhile Nike and Rika are today their activities are free. Due to the success of the Weapons Research team of the underground city of Karanganyar City who created special rifles and ammunition. And another achievement, which is almost complete the creation of a prototype of a combat robot.
After that, the Weapons Research team will send the results of their hard work to the Central Weapons Researcher who is in the Jakarta Provisional Government Complex.
Two transport trucks were set up to carry and deliver special rifles and ammunition and prototype combat robots. Nike and Rika saw this.
“Wah, that's what's a combat robot?” ask some of the soldiers who left the training to see the transport of a prototype combat robot.
“The form is sangar as well.”
“Yes, I think I want to be the pilot.”
“Don't be too confident first, because the one who will become a fighter robot pilot is only a special force.”
“Iya-iya I know.”
(the pilot in command here is a soldier or someone who will be the controller of the combat robot. )
“Wah, it looks like you guys are really working hard huh?” said Jo who was suddenly next to Nike and Rika.
“Yes, although our work only makes parts,” answered Nike.
“It's also an important job right?”
“Is that?”
After that the transport truck drove off and out of the underground city, the ghost just came off with the applause and cheers of the soldiers and other teams.
Nike looks to glance in all directions like looking for the whereabouts of someone. But that man wasn't with Jo.
“Hei Jo, have you seen Nio?” ask Nike.
“Do you not know yet?. He took training to be a Special Student Forces know,” replied Jo who made Nike surprised.
But it was not Nike who was angry, but Rika annoyedly said, “What the hell is he, has he forgotten to have friends in this place?”
“Don't be mad at me, he might just want to make a surprise, right?” answer Jo.
“Surprise?. Hah, I hope he dies of exhaustion there,” Rika continued.
Meanwhile Nike said in his heart, “So, Nio wants to become a special forces.”
“Hey you guys why not practice..!” shouted someone who turned out to be Surya.
Soldiers from Company 32 were also seen in their training uniforms. That means they will do the exercises together with the soldiers of the Company 406.
“Sial, until when are they here?” muttered Jo and a few other soldiers with irritated faces.

The Special Student Forces candidate training.
This is the day of the implementation of the second test, which is a test of physical freshness.
This test activity has a goal, namely selecting the mental readiness of young soldiers and knowing their physical readiness.
Because this young soldier will be formed into a special force that is required to have physical and mental strength in order to achieve the special and secret tasks that are his responsibility.
Switch to all the soldiers who are already outside the training ground. All of them, both male and female warriors were already wearing their training uniforms.
The first test that will be done is a run with a time of 12 minutes with a distance of 1,500 meters, this is done for men. While for women must run within 12 minutes with a distance of 1,200 meters.
“Hey, don't run slower than women huh?” chirps Rio who made the veins on Nio's forehead appear.
“Look at it later, “Jawan Nio with his confident face.
“see?, you mean I was told to see you reach the last finish line so?”
“Damn..!”.
The training soldier in charge of overseeing the test this time was as many as 10 people. The entire trainer overseeing the test this time was carrying rifles and swords as the situsai was still at war. It could be that another world army suddenly appeared and attacked the test taker.
The whistle sounded loudly. The entire soldier immediately ran after the whistle sounded.
Nio who was surprised because ‘sikit’ daydreamed soon after his running partner. Rio who was running in front of Nio looked at her with a worried look.
The trainer watches the test takers by riding a motorcycle with a piggyback. Meanwhile Nio looked at the coach riding the motorcycle with an envious look. Because a motorcycle with a supermoto model that the coach uses is his dream.
But Nio was more worried about something else.
“Hopefully my legs will be strong until the end,” the inner Nio who hopes big on his feet.
Since Nio was not wearing socks, a fairly long stitch scar was visible.
The coach who saw the state of Nio's legs maintained the speed of the motor to be equivalent to the speed of running Nio.
“Is your foot okay?” ask the coach who is piggybacking on his partner.
“Ready!, I am sure it will be fine,” replied Nio with enthusiasm but still maintaining his running speed.
“Don't force yourself huh?. If it starts to feel weird on your feet quickly tell us!”
“Ready!, fine.”
Then the trainer proposes his motorcycle to monitor the other test takers.
Nio was indeed not the last in the line of male soldiers, but he ran behind Rio who was indeed an expert in this field.
**
“Luck is not the last,” murmured Nio while bending over set his breath.
Rio who was surprised by Nio's achievement in the running test immediately approached him and hit him on the back.
“Sial, why can I lose to you?” rio said after hitting Nio's back to cough.
“Next we will do the next test, immediately prepare yourself!” said one of the coaches who was watching the test run.
“Ready,” reply all soldiers firmly.
Then all the test takers headed to the training grounds. But they were surprised by the sound of people falling.
“Nio..!” said Rio.
“Not me woy...!” nio replied in annoyance because Rio thought he was the one who fell unconscious.
Seen a female soldier from Company 302 unconscious with face facing the ground directly.
All his colleagues crowded him in panic and 2 coaches approached immediately with a folding stretcher.
“He will be returned to the original Union,” said one of the coaches while raising female soldiers on a stretcher.
“That means he didn't qualify?” ask the surprised one.
“Yes, your partner's struggle is stalled due to his less powerful physique.”
After that the two trainers took the female soldier to the health room. His comrades only looked on with a sad look as he should not have escaped from fainting.
“You see what!?. Quick to the page or you also want to go home with your partner!?” say the other coach in a loud tone.
“Ready!, no!” answer all the soldiers in unison.
**
“To shit up, please do in pairs with your colleagues,” said the coach.
All the soldiers then choose their respective partners to do a shit up test that will be done 30 times.
Nio is of course paired with Rio, who will do the shit up first is Nio.
Nio lay down with both hands protecting the back of the head and the part of the leg held back by Rio.
As the cue began to sound, Nio quickly raised and lowered his body quickly which made Rio surprised as well.
“You are strong too huh?” rio said in a tone of disbelief.
“Because I have trained before,” replied Nio even if it was just a lie.
“Pret...”.
“Hah!?. Looks like I heard you warming something?”
“Your feelings alone may be.”
As these two people were having a fight over the test, a coach with his sinister face approached Nio and Rio.
Instantly Nio and Rio took this test seriously so as not to be exposed to unwanted things just because of a small quarrel.
Nio had already finished doing 30 times the shit up, after which it was Rio's turn to do it.
Nio did the same thing Rio did to her, which was to hold her leg. But what Nio did was a little different, because he held Rio's foot by stepping on him.
“If you have a problem saying nyet,” said Rio because he felt that what Nio did was his act of revenge.
But what Nio did was not forbidden. And that makes Nio look calm and calm while looking for gold in his nostrils.
As the cue began to sound Rio did a quick shit up. But when it was only halfway Rio suddenly stopped.
“Why you?” asked Nio worriedly.
“Just take a short break,” replied Rio with a tired face.
“Do not force yourself.”
“Heh, I wish that said it was your brother and not you.”
“Hah!?”
After that Rio resumed his shit up.
**
“Next we will do the shuttle run,” said the coach shortly after the whole soldier did the shit up test.
The coach arranges the bricks into a trajectory of participants to do a run forming the number 8.
In this test, participants were required to run 5 rounds for 20 seconds.
Nio and Rio and other test takers noticed the participants who were running on the track with the number 8.
When it was the turn of a soldier from Company 406, he was approached by a problem. He fell when he almost reached the 4th round.
The next thing that happened was clear, which was to return to the initial Unity. With his face down he walked towards the barracks with a coach.
The male soldier from Company 406 clapped his hands to encourage his comrade who returned to the underground city earlier than the others.
**
Nio completed this test with a time record of 14 seconds, 2 seconds slower than Rio.
Today's test ended with the return of 2 young soldiers to the initial Union. The remaining test takers were 128 soldiers.

At the Gate Research Center, everyone in this place seemed shocked by something.
“What is this serious about, it is already 57 km away from its starting place?” ask the leader of this place.
“True, according to the news of the troops escorting the object also carried out the conquest of the small islands around Belitung Island,” replied a subordinate.
This not only caused anxiety for everyone in this place, but also fear.
They cannot spread this news to the public in order to avoid chaos and other unwanted things.
But this turned out to be a pleasure for the otherworldly forces.
Especially for other world troops who make bases in the Surakarta region that they managed to occupy. Because Karanganyar City borders this city, it can be said that this is a threat.
No one could have expected the otherworldly forces occupying Surakarta City to attack the City in the vicinity.
But another bad thing is that there is no more vigilance than the people living in the cities around Surakarta City who consider otherworldly forces not to attack immediately.
Even they were still able to calm down as the dragons from the otherworldly army passed by in the sky.
Although there was frequent resistance from the Air Force with the dragon rider troops, but it also caused confusion to civilians.
Like the body of a fallen dragon and sometimes hit a house in which there are still residents. But the one to blame in this case is the military. Even though before the resistance to dragon fighting forces the military has done a warning to the public to seek temporary shelter.
Indeed lately other world troops have not shown any signs of attacking.
But who knows….
