It's been a week Arya's been at the academy. And every day Arya always routinely visit the library. After breakfast Arya will go straight to the library until midday.
At noon Arya had lunch in the dining room and then returned to the library until the afternoon. That's how Arya's routine has filled up empty time over the past few days.
Arya has memorized the position of the bookshelf shelf based on her theme. There are five history-themed bookshelves located on the right side of the entrance and on the right side there is a bookcase with a general knowledge theme.
A book on martial arts and cultivation was in the middle of the room. There are different types of books that discuss martial arts from different countries. Some books are also copies of ancient martial arts books. The book is written in various characters and uses different languages.
There are also ancient books that are on special shelves. Ancient books were made of paper, bark, animal skins and cloth. There is also another special shelf that contains clay slabs with carved ancient lettering.
For the past five days Arya has finished several books.
Today Arya plans to choose the book or book she will read. This time Arya tried to find a book that was on the shelf of ancient books.
All books or books on this shelf all use ancient characters and languages. Actually, Arya also does not understand how to read the script and the ancient language. But somehow it was like there was an urge for him to head to this shelf.
After looking with a heart Arya chose a rather large book. The book is made of animal skin with beautiful calligraphy on the cover.
Even though the cover is still very beautiful to look at. There's a script written there that looks like the title of the book. It was only Arya's guess because she couldn't read it.
Although the size of the book is quite large for a book about the size of A3 paper, this book is quite thin. There are only four pages besides the book cover.
Arya took the book with her heart, took it to the table and opened it slowly.
On the first page there is a script that seems like a kind of prologue or introduction. And the strange thing is that the page after that until the last page of the book is empty there is no letter there.
Arya did not understand why the book was empty. Arya thought that most likely the ink on this book faded because it consumed age. But after careful attention there is not the slightest trace of ink there. Even if the ink of the writing is smudged even though it leaves a trace of ink.
Arya turned back the blank page of the book. Arya tried to look from various angles trying to solve the secret of the ancient book.
After repeatedly turning the page looking for clues, Arya finally gave up.
"It's true that there are strange books, why do people make books but are emptied like this" Arya said
"What is the purpose of the author of this book" Arya continued in his heart
Arya muses trying to remember what she tried to do to solve the secret of the book.
Then Arya just remembered that she had read to activate an object using blood.
"Hmmm it seems like it needs to be tried" Arya said in her heart
Arya slightly injured the tip of her index finger by using the tip of the safety pin she accidentally found. After that Arya dripped a little of her blood onto the empty page of the ancient book.
The drops of blood that fell onto the empty pages of the ancient scriptures as it was absorbed and slowly from the drops of blood it formed a series of ancient scriptures.
Simultaneously appeared a beam of light into Arya's head and immediately disappeared after entering the head.
Arya felt her head dizzy as she was exposed to the rays from the ancient scriptures. Arya closed her eyes trying to endure the pain in her head.
Suddenly Arya was able to read the characters contained in the ancient book.
"The Sastrajendra Book" muttered Arya reading the title of the book
Not only was Arya able to read the ancient script able to understand its meaning. Sastrajendra means ancestral heritage.
There is no evidence of who the author of Sastrajendra is.
Arya opened the first page of the ancient book containing several characters. There it is explained that the book of Sastrajendra is a book that contains human relations with nature which is summarized in Sanga Aji or Nine Ajian.
Arya finally knew that the Sastrajendra script uses brama script with sanksekerta language. The brama script is much older than the palawa script commonly found in royal inscriptions.
Arya opened the second page, there was a sentence that called Nine Ajian. Where the Nine Ajian is divided into three parts and each part there are three studies.
The first part of the nine studies is called the Basis of Life. There are three studies in the basic chapter of life namely Aji Dharani (land/earth), Aji Amreta (water), Aji Pawana (air/wind).
According to the third Sastrajendra book Aji is the basic constituent of life.
This second page describes the nature of the three Ajian. Like the nature of Aji Dharani which means land or earth. The nature of the land is receiving and useful means that the land receives whatever is given to it whether it is good or bad.
For example, the soil receives dirt and even garbage. But something bad he received would be turned into something good and useful. For example, the dirt that was given will be converted by the soil into useful compost.
The ground teaches what is called sincerity. Accept the bad but turn it into the good.
After reading the second page Arya tried to open the next page. But just like before the page was still empty without any written script there.
Arya tried to repeat her first experiment by dripping her blood back on the third page.
The blood fell and when it touched the skin of the animal that became its material immediately the blood disappeared without a trace. Arya waited for what alan had happened after her blood was absorbed that courtyard.
Some long wait there was still no reaction like before. The third page still remains empty unchanged. No characters appeared there.
"Hmmmm so yeah" murmured Arya
"It looks like I have to master the second page first then I can open the third page" said Arya
Arya memorizes the verse of the sentence written on the second page. The sentence is arranged in a verse.
It did not take long for Arya to memorize all the verses on the second page.
Arya closed the ancient book and then recited the verse she had just memorized. This is done repeatedly until he is sure nothing is forgotten.
Finished memorizing Arya returned the book of Sastrajendra to its original place.
Aryan prankster picked up one of the ancient books near Sastrajendra. And miraculously, Arya can read the characters contained on the cover of the ancient book.
On the front cover of the ancient book was written the title of the Book of Medicine made by a person named King of Medicine from the Southeast.
