Somewhere, it is still within the Jumapolo Subdistrict and not far from the training ground for Special Student Forces candidates. They were both seen under a banyan tree under which there was a palm.

Some people who passed through this place instantly felt creepy, like there was something invisible in this place. Although this period can be spelled out with ‘ the future of’ but there are still a few people who still believe in some sort of ‘punggu’ somewhere.

Yes it is not wrong because women who last night ‘mengganggu’ Nio is also in the joint with their superiors.

Although they looked real, no one could see them both. Except Nio who can see the female that makes her finally experience one part of the male puberty.

“Do I have to see him again, sir?” ask the woman who disturbed Nio last night.

“Yes, at least try to talk to him, Ivy,” replied the master of the woman named Ivy.

“Do I need to show myself?”

“Don't, let him first see you.”

“So I am allowed to use telepathy?”

“Yes. But don't forget to ask him ‘itu’.”

“Good, sir Ilhiya.”

Then Ivy got up from his seat and walked past someone who was washing his face in this joint.

“What does he do?” muttered Ilhiya while covering her face because she saw Ivy who nudged the bucket belonging to the person who was washing her face.

“Who!?” said the man whose face was still filled with soap and could not open his eyes to see what was happening.

Ivy who was also surprised immediately picked up the bucket belonging to the person who fell into the joint.

“I don't think I put my bucket here,” muttered the man who had cleaned his face from the soap and saw his bucket was not in its original place.

The man's eyes were watching around his palm that there was only a banyan tree and himself.

He did not take a bath in the sandang and immediately cleaned the toiletries then ran as fast as he could away from the invisible joints and Ilhiya.

Ilhiya got up and said, “Find where to eat ya?”

At the training site of PPK candidates, Nio was seen drying the mattress and blanket he had washed from the stain ‘white’ liquid that came out if a teenage boy had a wet dream.

Nio was not alone in the place of drying her mattress and blankets, at least Rio and Sima also helped to pay attention to her alone.

“Why are you still here!?” said the coach who found Rio and Sima who were still with Nio who should have stayed for the martial test.

“Siap. Sorry we will go directly to the test place!” rio and Sima said simultaneously and in a firm tone.

Then the two of them ran to where the test was conducted leaving Nio who was seen squeezing the blanket as hard as he could.

“You, when you're done get to the test site!” coach's orders to Nio.

“Ready, fine!” replied Nio firmly.

Nio instantly sped up his work and after finishing immediately ran the courtyard which was where the martial test was conducted.

Although Nio was not too proficient in doing certain types of martial arts that must be mastered by special forces soldiers, he was not, at least he has mastered martial arts pencak silat already ‘modified’ so that it is in accordance with military martial arts.

Of course also slightly changed by Nio himself type ‘ do not want ribet’ with something that requires a lot of moving.

Another thing martial arts requires is that less effective battle tanks are used for combat within half a meter.

“Tes martial declared completed. Please rest your body and do free activities,” said the coach after all the soldiers perform martial arts controlled by each.

“Sergeant Nio, come here,” coach orders that make Nio goosebumps even though he says it in a normal tone.

Nio just stared at Rio and Sima whose plan the three of them would cook the instant noodles that Nio brought.

“Ready, “ answered Nio and immediately ran over to the coach who called him.

Rio and Sima looked from where they had stopped and said simultaneously, “Hopefully Nio is not repatriated.”

Nio just stared flatly at the coach in front of him with a firm face. All he can do for now is wait for what the coach will do to him.

“what kind of martial arts did you use earlier?” ask the coach to Nio.

Nio replied firmly, “Siap, I used martial pencak silat with a slight change to fit me.”

“To fit you huh?. How long have you been studying this martial art?”

“Ready, about one year.”

“Cannot be. It took me 3 hours to really master some of the techniques of the many techniques of pencak silat. What kind of exercise did you use?”

“Siap, I learned it from my video and senior in Company 406.”

“Do you have a photographic memory or what to master pencak silat in such a short time?”

Because people who have a photographic memory are able to remember exactly every detail that is seen. Simply put, the concept of photographic memory has a way of working like a camera that captures a photographed object.

“Alright, sorry if I interrupted your free time. Please return to the barracks,” said the coach after all the things he wanted to ask Nio had been answered.

“Ready, fine!” nio answered firmly and then ran to the barracks because free time is rarely obtained when training to become a PPK has been waiting.

“Hei..!” greet the person who made Nio stop his steps when he saw that person.

Who else if the one who called Nio was Ivy. Of course Nio did not know the name of the woman who appeared when Nio had a wet dream.

“You, wait a minute. Isn't kuntilanak just out at night?” nio said calmly without knowing who exactly the person before him was.

Ivy does look like ‘human earth’ although Nio does not yet know the truth.

“What's the gun?” ask Ivy.

“Eh, if you're not a kuntilanak keep what.”

“Of course I'm a living being like you.”

Nio held onto his chin and looked like he was observing Ivy. Although the occasional memory of the dream that made her a wet dream appeared in her head.

But Ivy's face can see what's in Nio's brain.

“Do you think of anything obscene again?” Ivy asked which surprised Nio.

“Ti-no,” answered Nio in a panic.

Meanwhile inside the barracks, Rio and Sima as well as some male soldiers from Company 406 worried about Nio who had not returned.

They looked anxious and could not stop to think about the bad things that had happened to Nio.

“I will look for him,” Rio said after standing up from his bed.

“I'm coming,” replied Sima and the others also mean the same.

Those who wanted to see Nio's condition then exited the barracks and walked towards the courtyard where Nio was called the coach.

But just a few meters away they saw Nio as if he was talking to someone, but that person was completely invisible.

“Who is talking to?” asked the confused Rio.

It was not only Rio who was confused by this, all of them were even frightened to see Nio who seemed to be talking to himself.

Rio then ventured to approach Nio.

“Who are you talking to?” rio asked nervously.

“Eh, don't you see someone in front of me?” nio replied while showing Ivy who was in front of him.

Seeing Rio and the other Nio comrades unable to see him, Ivy finally told him the truth.

“For now only you can see me,” said Ivy who began speaking using his telepathic abilities.

Nio looked surprised by someone who spoke directly to his head. Ivy's daughter-in-law had to explain to Nio if they could both communicate with the mind without having to open their mouths and make a sound.

“What do you mean?, only I can see you?” replied Nio who managed to communicate by exchanging ideas with Ivy.

Of course it made Rio and the others even more frightened.

Although the two of them were already able to communicate by exchanging ideas, but Nio's reaction was like ordinary talk.

Of course Ivy can only pat his eel.

As seen, Rio and the others were indeed feeling astonished and scared by Nio who was still seen talking to himself.

“Enough for today, tomorrow I will see you again,” said Ivy.

“Wait a minute, at least let me know your name,” prevent Nio.

“Ivy, my name is Ivy. Already yes, see you.”

Nio then looked at Ivy who could only be seen by him walking away with his small steps.

Rio who was worried about Nio immediately stuck the back of his hand on Nio's forehead.

“What are you doing huh?” asked Nio with a face ready to beat Rio.

“I think the dreams that made you wet dreams are still remembered. Indeed the dream is too ‘nikmat’ right?” rio replied while slightly moving away from the sinister-looking Nio.

“Se-seems so.”

Then the two of them walked back to the barracks, but Nio first went to the place to hang the mattress and blankets.
