Knight Panji
In The Ark

A fairly large Ark in the form of a capsule, all parts are white with only a few white tiger motifs holding red Peony flowers on the side.

     The ark was quite fiercely splitting the sky. But the situation inside was so calm, inversely proportional to the commotion outside the ark when the sound of the wind hit the Ark. 

     The ground floor was filled with 1000 outer disciples, the second floor was filled with 500 inner disciples, the third floor was filled with dozens of core disciples, and the second floor was filled with the contents of dozens of core disciples, the 4th floor was filled by 6 Elders and Vice Patriarchs. The 5th floor was filled by the Patriarch himself. 

     "It's huge, right, I've never been on this ride, usually I take a boat" said a new student

    "Yes I've never seen anything like it, too, so big."

     On the 2nd floor more relieved because it is quieter. "I'm bored" said Sakya, holding both hands on the table. Some of his friends were in the crowd by other inner disciples whereas he was left alone in the corner and did not want to join. 

    "What are you doing here?, you don't want to join the others," Sakya shook her head to answer the question Damar asked. 

     "Ehm I will accompany you here," said Damar. He then sat down in front of Sakya, Sakya's face slightly changed. Damar poured a glass of water from a small jug and drank it himself. 

     "I'm sorry about the one I was that night….."

     "Quite Damar I don't want to and won't remember" Sakya's remark made Damar a little more moody. 

     While at the other table, "Wah Kak Panji you are so good at defeating Roben, I heard Roben is wearing an Ancient Sword right?" asked one of the inner disciples. 

     "Hahahaha that's the great Panji, didn't Kak Panji have passed the Spear round and finished it, isn't it easier to beat Roben, isn't it KAK PANJI?, oni said next to him who grabbed Panji's shoulder and emphasized Kata Kak to tease him. 

     Panji just shook his head laughing a little then he said, "The spear branch is very difficult, I almost died while passing through it, and to fight Roben I also put all my strength, too, it's just luck, don't overdo it" Panji said. 

     The other inner disciple chimed in, "But Brother, isn't Luck also Strength, right?" This student looked to his left and right side for the friends around to agree to it. 

     "Yes that's right, brother."

     "However, Kak Panji is now the number 1 among the inner disciples."

     "Yes, Panji is the strongest."

     Unaware of it, Roben looked towards them and stared intently at Panji. Panji who feels in the face, conscious and sees Roben. "I won't lose to you, I will fight with all my might" Lirih Roben. 

     Not long after the 3 core disciples descended to the 2nd floor they were Akarsana, Brama, and Sagra.

"A lot of people are also on the 2nd floor, ahh yes we have to find the banner and his friends where they are?" asked Sagra. 

     Brama pointed to a pretty crowded place. They surround the table with lots of drinks on it. "Panner," Shouted the core disciple brama made all of them turn their heads and immediately stood up and gave the core disciple some respect. "Senior Brother", they said in unison while bowing their bodies. 

     "There is no need to salute so," said Sagra. "Ahh Panji, it seems like some of the Elders want you to go up to the 4th floor, you are coming with us" Akarsana said. 

    "Eh where are the other 2 people," asked Sagra. "That's them" pointed one of the inner disciples. Cayya immediately approached them and said that the Elders wanted to meet. They also headed up. 

     "Ah yes Roben, you also go up, Vice Patriarch wants to meet you," Shouted Brama who just remembered the message of the Patriarch vice. 

     Roben then took his heavy sword that was on the table and hung it on his back. The sword was wrapped around a white cloth that was bathed. He walked with the other 6 inner disciples. 

     "Are they not the 7 greatest warriors of the inner disciples."

     "Yes really."

     Akarsana, Brama, and Sagra climb the stairs with Panji and his friends.  Before meeting the Elders, Brama took them around on the 3rd floor where the core disciples were. Some of the core disciples noticed that there were also some who were indifferent and there were some who attacked them like Bagas. 

    "Well, well, not these 7 of our greatest new disciples" cried out from a distance. He and some of his friends approached Akarsana, Brama, and Sagra.

      "Ahh it turns out there are all Senior-seniors, but why are there some insignificant disciples here,"

     "There are Patriarch sycophants, There are also 5 Elders sycophants like this Sissy, Let alone this fat one, too, ahh all the core disciples have a charming appearance of how you can become a core disciple with this ugly appearance of yours, and this is yes This is still quite decent," scornful pranks even his eyes looked at them one by one as he mocked them. 

      "You...," when Oni's about to attack him is held by Brama. "It is not permissible to fight inside the Ark, for whoever strikes first will be hit by a counterattack from the Ark" said Brama, who stopped Oni's attempt to start the fight.

     Fire mouth Sakya also began to scorn them, "charming?  All the core disciples are charming?  Why did I even see a bunch of frogs in front of me?" said Sakya, beginning to make their faces darken. 

     "Look at that dark skin of yours, and look at your backside full of acne, see also your rough hair, cih which part of you is charming," Sakya shook her fan and pointed them out one by one. 

    "How dare you….." Bagas pretended to approach Sakya wanting to hit him but was blocked by Akarsana. "Stop, didn't you say you shouldn't fight here."

    "Sadly, this time I let you go because there are Akarsana, Bagas, also Brama, see later when in Perguruan, I will beat you up," said Bagas to Sakya. Bagas and his friends left them. 

     "Heh, very arrogant, like the White Tiger College is theirs, acting charming in front of a Prince like me cih," said Sakya Kesal. He was later snatched by Cayya. 

     "Prince??" asked Damar. "Of course, you're blind didn't see my beautiful appearance as the Prince?" Sakya also pretended to feel he was the most handsome. 

     "We should continue to meet the elders only," said Brahma. They all went up to the 4th floor.

     Arriving on the 4th floor they were guided to meet with the Elders. Several Elders gathered, Elder Danu, Elder Dalu, Elder Sanu, Elder Dana, Elder Safa, even Vice Patriarch. "Greetings to the Elders". They cupped their hands and bowed a little respectfully. 

     Some of the Elders nodded and some combed his beard. The elders also conveyed the intention of calling them to the 4th floor. The Elders wanted to make them to become Direct disciples. 

     Elder Danu raised Oni as his disciple, Elder Dalu raised Damar. Elder Sanu made Galih his student, Elder Dana made Cayya also a student. So did Elder Pula Safa to Sakya. 

     Even the Patriarch's vice as well. "Ehm, Roben, do you want to be my student, taught directly by me, and get more resources than others?" asked the Deputy Patriarch. 

    Very surprised. That's what Roben had in mind, he was following the Selection just wanting to become an inner disciple. But it was unexpected that he had the chance to become a direct disciple of the Vice Patriarch. He would not waste that opportunity. 

     At least he will continue to try to defeat Panji, maybe this is one way. He also answered Vice Patriarch's question, "Roben is willing to become a direct disciple of the Vice Patriarch."

     The five of them and Roben immediately knelt down and cupped their hands, accepting them as teachers. "But remember, to become your Direct disciple in three months should be able to become a core disciple," continued the Vice Patriarch. 

     "Yes that's right, to be a Direct disciple you have to be a core disciple, and the Test to become a Core Disciple is only held every 3 months," Elder Safa said. 

     "Where nearly 1000 people are following, never more than 10 have escaped and can become core disciples, so prepare yourself," Elder Sanu said fieryly. 

     Meanwhile the Panji only saw them. The Vice Patriarch had almost forgotten the Panji that was there. He said after laughing a little, "Hahaha, Panji forgive me for forgetting you, Patriarch is waiting for you on the 5th Floor, go alone."

     "Thank you Vice Patriarch," Panji said. After that Panji also climbed the stairs Towards the 5th Floor.
