JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Headed North

Locana who had just vomited fresh blood just silently did not answer the words of Jaka Umbaran. While Sadewa and Surtikanti also smiled towards Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"Hehehehe was amazing..

You can beat Locana up like this, where maybe we who are skilled in martial arts are no better than he dared to challenge you, brother and sister" said Sadewa the Lightning Sword while chuckling.

"Sadewa's back is right, brother-in-law..

My martial skills are no higher than Kakang Locana. Of course I won't win against you, brother-in-law. So I give up if I have to fight against you" Surtikanti continued immediately.

Mmmmmm...

"Then, excuse me. I want to take a bath, the time is late", Jaka Umbaran bowed his body before stepping towards the bath in a small sandang at the foot of Katong Hill.

After Jaka Umbaran disappeared from everyone's eyes, Sadewa immediately took a deep breath.

"Thankfully he's not a vengeful. If until he can not forgive the act of Locana, of course we will accept the impact" said Sadewa as he glanced at Locana who rose from the fall while holding his chest that feels tight.

"Uhukkk..

I don't understand what's going on, Sadewa. That brat was able to withstand the attack of the Ten Thousand Shadow Sword Science I unleashed. At first glance I saw the boy's bead was golden yellow uhukkk uhukkk..

Actually what kind of canoe science does he have?", Locana repeatedly coughs a little in between his talk. While Sadewa immediately glanced at his scallop.

"You still dare call him a boy? Hasn't you been beaten by her, Locana?", hearing those words, Locana immediately smiled wryly while scratching her head.

"Hehehehe's sorry Kang, I'm so excited..

I mean a college sister so uhukkk uhukkk ", said Locana who got a sneer from Surtikanti.

"Your style Kang Kang..

If tomorrow forgets again, the consequences themselves. I didn't follow along", after saying so, Surikanti immediately stepped out of the place. Sadewa and Locana immediately followed the steps of their younger brother.

The reddish orange color in the western sky slowly began to turn dark. Thousands of bats began to fly in search of prey. Slowly the night began to creep down to cover the earth, hugging the universe with the cold air. Full moon light looks beautiful even though only through the sidelines of the clouds that march in space.

As a habit at that time, hundreds of students of Bukit Katong University sat chatting in their respective home page while enjoying a snack that has been prepared. Stewed cassava, roasted ketela, boiled king bananas and various nutmeg kependem (the term for tubers in the ground) such as uwi and gembili into a delicious dish in addition to liquor such as twak, siddhu and arak. The liquor is useful as a cold air fighter Mount Pamarihan that feels able to freeze bones.

All of them dissolved in an atmosphere of excitement. Their conversation flowed smoothly without any burden. But one chat that became a hot topic of their conversation was the incident this afternoon when Jaka Umbaran managed to bring down Locana. For them, it was big news.

Jaka Umbaran was chewing boiled cassava which is slightly mature until the object. In pairing with match sauce (it contains only chili, salt and slightly baked), making Jaka Umbaran craggy eat it.

"You are starving, Umbaran?", asked Niluh Wuni who suddenly sat beside Jaka Umbaran who was cool to enjoy the beauty of the full moon on a pandan leaf mat.

"Eh Jagat Dewa Batara..

You want me to die of shock because you did it, Wuni? I almost broke my heart. Basic woman.", grumbled Jaka Umbaran who was really shocked because of the appearance of the beautiful woman.

"Hehehehe sorry..

Seeing you like a possessed person eating boiled cassava so, I did not have the heart to disturb you so I just sat down.

Eh now you are being the chatter of the students of Katong Hill College this Umbaran loh. You are really great, can beat one of the teachers here", Niluh Wuni praised sincerely.

"There's no need to over flatter me, Wuni..

I just took on the challenge. There is no intention to seek fame but I also do not want if my self-esteem as a swordsman is denigrated", replied Jaka Umbaran while laying his body on a pandan leaf mat. Her eyes perpendicular to the clear night sky. Some stars are visible though briefly because they are covered by a moving cloud.

"What do you think, Pendekar Gunung Lawu?"

Jaka Umbaran immediately turned his head towards the source of the voice. He immediately rose from the fall because the owner of the sound was Ajeng Ratih who came while carrying a snack from processed cassava.

"Huhhhh... Do all women have fun when it comes to surprising men?

No you're Princess Ajeng Ratih, no you're Wuni. You two are really happy that you can surprise me?", grumbled Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"Not so Pendekar Gunung Lawu. I just didn't want to disturb your beautiful daydream earlier hihihi", Ajeng Ratih chuckled as he sat himself to the right of the young swordsman. Be that night Jaka Umbaran sat looking at the full moon flanked by two beautiful women.

"You haven't answered my question before", Ajeng Ratih spoke again.

"Which one? I don't feel like hearing you ask", replied Jaka Umbaran as he chewed utri (a grated cassava process steamed with a young coconut grater and filled with brown sugar) brought by Ajeng Ratih.

"It's young but it's forgetful..

I asked, what are you thinking tonight?", Ajeng Ratih took part in taking utri who was still pumping hot steam. Seeing that, Niluh Wuni did not want to lose and immediately took it too.

"I am carrying out the duty of my teacher to obey the orders of Uncle Master Mpu Hanggabhaya during this one full moon.

It is the obligation of a student to do topo ngrame as a service wage. Even though I myself want to find out about the whereabouts of my real parents" said Jaka Umbaran with a heavy sigh.

Niluh Wuni and Ajeng Ratih turned to Jaka Umbaran at the same time. The two of them did not know who Jaka Umbaran actually could only guess what exactly the handsome young man had experienced. But the two chose not to ask again about it for fear of offending Jaka Umbaran.

That night was really beautiful. The full moon's light is getting more beautiful as the night continues to rise. After a long time enjoying the beauty of nature, the residents of Katong Hill College return to their respective contest.

The morning was in accordance with the orders of the main leader of Katong Hill School, Resi Mpu Hanggabhaya, the students of the silat college who were selected as representatives of Katong Hill to attend the meeting of martial world warriors in the Kali Gung Valley, gathered in front of the big college hall.

Led by Sadewa who was appointed directly by the master teacher, also accompanied by Locana and Surtikanti, they lined up neatly waiting for the arrival of the master teacher. Among the fifteen who departed, there were Jaka Umbaran, Niluh Wuni and Sekar Kantil. The three took part in the entourage on the orders of the Mpu Hanggabhaya Resi directly.

From the side door, Resi Mpu Hanggabhaya entered with Mpu Mandala and Nyimas Kencanawati. The entire group members immediately bowed respectfully to Resi Mpu Hanggabhaya.

"Of Swasyastu..

Today you will all go to the Kali Gung Valley. Be careful when traveling. Do not do anything beyond the command of your leader, Sadewa. If there is a problem, you should not interfere unless you have to.

One of the most important messages, keep the good name of the college. Do not let you embarrass Katong Hill College in the eyes of the martial world of Jawadwipa Land", said Resi Mpu Hanggabhaya as he looked at all members of the group with hope.

"We understand, Professor ", everyone said simultaneously.

"Replace..

May Hyang Akarya Jagat always protect your every step", Resi Mpu Hanggabhaya immediately raised his right hand. All the members of the entourage immediately saluted before they turned around and stepped towards the horse that had been prepared for them all.

Slowly the group moved away from Katong Hill College. Ki Suradipa stood beside the school gate and shouted loudly.

"Pendekar Gunung Lawu..

Titip my two students. Take care of them like you take care of yourself!"

Jaka Umbaran immediately nodded in understanding before he kicked his riding horse chasing the students of Katong Hill College who had already driven their horses.

Sadewa led the group steadily moving towards the North. After entering the Pakuwon Garung region located west of the Pening Swamp, they continued to move towards the North. After almost a day of traveling, they arrived at the foot of Mount Telomoyo.

The sun has slipped west. Seeing his horse that had looked exhausted, Sadewa immediately stopped the group at the edge of a small forest located on the border of Pakuwon Ungaran.

"We rest here" said Sadewa, raising his right hand. The entire group immediately pulled the reins of his horse and the group stopped immediately.

Sadewa directly split the task between them. Because he had to save money on the journey, he ordered the members of the group he chose to look for something to eat. Others prepare a place to spend the night and collect dry twigs to make a bonfire. Jaka Umbaran who did not count Sadewa, immediately approached this burly man.

"Sister of the school, can I help you find food?", asked Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"Oh please, Kakang Umbaran..

But I warned you not to get too far from this place. We are all unfamiliar with the environment around here. So we should be careful", said Sadewa directly in reply nodding the head of the young swordsman.

As soon as the permission was obtained, Jaka Umbaran immediately traced the ground hard until his body bounces high into the air. In a few breaths, Jaka Umbaran's body had already disappeared from the sight of this burly man's eyes.

Using the science of lightening his tall body, Jaka Umbaran jumps from one tree to another in search of food. After a long time looking for the eyes of Jaka Umbaran immediately widened when he saw a group of wild boars passing under a large tree that he was riding. Before leaving, he had borrowed the sword of Sekar Kantil.

Carefully Jaka Umbaran immediately broke a tree branch as big as a thumb. With a gentle gesture, he pierced the end of the tree branch. The wild boar that was looking for food at the weathered wood base below was completely unaware that they were in danger.

After enough preparation, Jaka Umbaran immediately threw the taper twig towards one of the medium-sized wild boar.

Whhhuuuggghhh!!

Simultaneously, Jaka Umbaran floated down from the tree branch quickly and slashed his sword towards the biggest boar.

Shhrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetttth!!

Chhreeppppph Jrrrraaaaaassssssssshhh!!

Nguuuuiiiiiiiiii.kkkk....!!!

One boar with a body was immediately knocked down after the branch of the tree penetrated the back to the stomach. While the largest wild boar immediately died after the sword slash slashed his body until it was cut into two parts. The rest of the wild boars immediately dispersed to save themselves.

At the place to stay overnight, Locana immediately smiled with a show of his hunting results. Two roosters whose bodies almost split into two appear in the tent by the swordsman nicknamed The Shadow Sword. The other disciples only brought a few tree nuts and a bunch of bananas.

"Hehehehe, tonight I'm going to have a good meal. You just enjoy the cassava and banana full of seeds. No one wants to grab my dinner" Locana said with a big grin.

The students of Bukit Katong College can only be silent and not answer the words of the teacher. While Sadewa only shook his head to see the actions of his younger brother.

"They don't need your jungle cock, junior brother. The boar must have been more filling their stomachs!"

The loud voice instantly made everyone look towards the inside of the forest. Jaka Umbaran walked up to them by carrying two wild boars tied to the tip of his pikulan. The disciples of Katong Hill School immediately smiled broadly as they glanced towards Locana with a slight sneer.

That night, they roasted wild boar caught by Jaka Umbaran happily. Only Locana looked sullen because she was embarrassed to ask for the part of the roasted wild boar.

While everyone was enjoying their food, Jaka Umbaran's sensitive ears heard something moving towards them. He immediately put the piece of roasted wild boar in his hand and stood up while staring towards the right.

Niluh Wuni directly asked the young swordsman immediately.

"What's up?", hearing Niluh Wuni's question, Jaka Umbaran immediately put the index finger of his right hand to the front of his lips while answering, Jaka Umbaran immediately put the index finger of his right hand to the front of his lips,

"Sssstttttttt put your voice down, Wuni..

Looks like we've got an uninvited guest.."
