METAL CHILD BALLad
DEFEATING DONG XI

On a sunny afternoon, Zike was invited by Mei Lan to take a walk around the residence to take a look at the state of the place. He agilely stepped on the streets while tailing his teacher. Apparently, in addition to being trained vocals, Zike also had to learn martial arts. Of course, this had not been reported to him directly.

"Where are we going, Nu Jiaoshi?" Zike asked while occasionally jumping like a child playing around behind his mother.

"To a pleasant place of course," Mei Lan replied as she continued to step into a small gate as the only way out of the building surrounded by solid high walls.

"A fun place?" Zike muttered a little while casting his gaze to each side of the building. Just this time he entered a place that he thought was very similar to the training ground of kung fu moves in Chinese films that he sometimes watched.

Mei Lan only smiled slightly looking at the behavior of this girl who was already her disciple. Now the appearance of this girl has also changed a lot. Zike's face increasingly looks bright and sweet, combined with skin that turns out to be yellow. A skin color that makes Mei Lan sometimes feel envious when looking at the details of the skin of the student who is so charming.

"Nu Jiaoshi, where did shifu go?" Zike asked about Ye Kai who had not been seen since this morning at all.

"Oh that?" Mei Lan asked instead. "Your shifu is in a place not too far away. Will also come back."

"I'm sure I haven't seen shifu since this morning." Zike understood the position of his teacher who must always be ready at any time if there is an order from his superiors.

"It's a good thing there's Nu Jiaoshi, so I'm not too worried about anything." Zike connected his words as he continued to walk following Mei Lan.

Finally, they arrived at a fairly extensive martial arts training ground with a wide variety of equipment and were really very similar to the movies and dramas of the Bamboo Curtain Country. It was a good experience for Zike.

They walked into the room and saw that there were many people practicing. The place looked quiet outside, it was quite crowded inside. Zike was amazed by the sight before his eyes. Arena matches, samsak of various sizes, weapons of various types and shapes. For the girl, this was a very interesting place.

"What is this place?" Zike wondered in his heart while looking at the many oddly shaped sports tools made of wood and bamboo.

"Nu Jiaoshi, what is this place?" Zike finally asked directly.

"This is a special place to practice martial arts," Mei Lan replied as she stroked a short spear attached to her place.

"Oooh, so is this the atmosphere?" Zike replied while still looking at the atmosphere of the place he immediately liked. His eyes were now fixed on a large and fat object with a face that was irritating.

"And what is this for?" Zike touches a large doll as tall as he is and can move if touched.

"It was a puppet for the media to practice as well and all along, it was very rare for anyone to be able to defeat him." Mei Lan answered the question while looking at the state of the room.

"So often anyone can beat him?" Zike was attracted to this strange doll.

"We can start training with him." Mei Lan then smiled and exclaimed from her current place. "Try to beat him!"

"Beating him?" Zike was made to not understand Mei Lan's intentions.

"Yes, if you can hit or attack him in your own way and he does not succeed in replying to you, then you are considered to win from him. But if he can still hit a part of your body, that means you're still losing." Mei Lan was like deliberately provoking the curiosity of her student who was now seen walking around a strange doll while shaking her waist.

"Just like that, Nu Jiaoshi? There's nothing else?" Zike felt that it was a very easy thing, so he even underestimated the ability of the strange doll before him.

"You can try it." Mei Lan said as she took another practice tool called a mermaid or double stick or also called nunchaku. "After you defeat him, you are only allowed to use other tools.

"Alright, Nu Jiaoshi!" Zike excitedly prepared his fist.

"Hey, you ugly doll! You should know that my fists have often left the thugs lying on the side of the road." Zike spoke to the doll he was going to make samsak of course. "Unless the latter is .. it is uncountable, huh? Because they're playing crackers."

Mei Lan only laughed a little and felt amused at the behavior of this student, so she muttered while playing a mermaid with light movements. "Based on the boy, it's fitting that my husband chose him to be our student. It turns out he's funny."

"No Jiaoshiiii! I'll beat himaaa!" Zike shouted as he smacked his fist into the face of the puppet in a swift and powerful motion. However, the girl was made quite shocked to fall down, because it turns out the doll was immediately retaliated as quickly and as hard as he hit the doll earlier.

"Aaaawws!" Zike was suffocating while grimacing in pain.

"How, Zike?" Mei Lan had to go to great lengths to hold back the almost-shattering laughter. "Why did you fall?"

"Nu Jiaoshi, he replied to me and hit me in the face as well!" Zike with a plain yet vexed face pointed towards the puppet who was still twitching himself nonstop.

"Well, that means you still can't beat him" Mei Lan said as she turned to face the other direction to let go of her laughter silently.

"No way!" Zike shuffled from the fall.

"alright. Fight to defeat that Dong Xi!" Mei Lan continued her stalled wobble play.

"So, your name is Dong Xi?" Zike who was still visibly emotional seemed to grin. "I'm Zain Kamila and I'm the one who's gonna beat you next."

"Humph!" Zike rubbed the sweat running down his temple. "I will definitely defeat you, Dong Xiiiii!"

Zike again launched punch after punch that will end with a reply from Dong Xi, even kick after kick he also launched repeatedly. Ten times the punch he launched, then ten times also Dong Xi retaliated and so on.

"This thing really makes me maraaaah!" Zike still did not give up even though he already felt quite exhausted. "But I have to beat him!"

"The ugly doll really pisses me off!" Zike kicked quite hard at the object that made him fall down many times and this time, he already did not want to fight it anymore.

"No Jiaoshiiii! I'm ruining!" zike's shout managed to attract the attention of others who turned out to be there.

Without the girl noticing, there was a pair of sharp eyes from behind the training equipment not far from Zike was, watching his every move blindly attacking Dong Xi. The owner of a pair of plump eyes with black and firm eyebrows seemed quite serious about Zike's behavior.

"Who is he?" That person asked inwardly while continuing to pay attention to Zike's face. "It looks like he's new here."

The owner of the pair of eyes then came out of his hiding place and approached the samsak doll that had just defeated Zike. Of course, the presence of a tall figure so high, making Zike feel had to shift his body. The girl watched from behind the person who had just arrived carefully.

"That's not how you beat him." The figure turned out to be the voice of a very young man. "You're just gonna get tired just from fighting this doll."

"Who are you?" Zike was astonished by the appearance of a figure he did not know.

"Me?" The young man asked.

"Yes you. Who else can answer me?" Zike becomes increasingly upset with the person he thinks is interfering with his pleasure.

The young man simply replied, "I am the one who will defeat him!"

"How is it?" Zike asked and already did not want to ask any more, regarding the young man who was now seen clenching his fists and preparing to attack Dong Xi.

"Want to know how?" The young man asked without even looking at him. "Did your teacher not tell you how?"

"No. Nu Jiaoshi just said, I have to beat him." Zike replied with a heart filled with astonishment.

"Nu Jiaoshi?"

"Nu Jiaoshi is my teacher and he only asked me to defeat him," Zike replied again while tidying up his hair which became quite messy.

"It is only fitting that you have failed since. It's because your teacher didn't tell you how." The young man smiled unnoticed by the girl who was now trying to get up from her seat. "Or ... Don't you ask your teacher, how do you beat this doll?"

"How do you know?" Zike became even more curious about this man. "You heard our conversation?"

"No. I just came and wanted to meet my aunt and uncle. But because his house was quiet, so I looked for him here" said the young man while correcting Dong Xi's position.

"Oohh then .. where do you know, if my teacher didn't tell you how to defeat Dong Xi?" Zike asked again.

"That's not important. But I've been very familiar with their habits." The young man then twisted his body until the faces of the two faced off.

Zike was flabbergasted, when he looked at the unknown man at all. It turned out that the face of the owner of this tall body was very handsome and looked similar to Mei Lan. The gentle blue-eyed man's friendly demeanor with pliable eyelashes and thick black eyebrows, made Zike wonder.

"Who are you?"

...Seriate...
