SAVIOR
Exit the Border

Padepokan Kun Billah has twenty houses like this, each of which is distributed to Imam Padepokan. Although Gus Mukhlas was ranked in the top 5 in Imam Padepokan, he chose the Holy Site Headquarters, the smallest of the twenty houses available to be his residence.

The reason Gus Mukhlas was simple, he did not intend to have as many disciples as other permanent ustadz and also he would be more often outside the paddokan. So Gus Mukhlas did not intend to fight with the other Padepokan Imams about the residence.

Not all the disciples and members of the church lived in these twenty houses, but only the direct disciples of the Padepokan Priests. The rest have their respective residences like a village.

Gus Mukhlas gave Asrul one of the largest rooms in the Temple house, "If you don't like this room, you can choose another one yourself."

Gus Mukhlas took Asrul around, showing him a well to take water, a bathroom, kitchen, study room and others before allowing Asrul to rest.

Asrul did feel exhausted, he cleaned his room as usual before falling asleep until dinner time.

"Asrul, before studying martial arts, you must master some basic knowledge, from tomorrow Master will guide you..." Gus Mukhlas explained after the two had dinner.

Asrul smiled awkwardly but did not refute Gus Mukhlas, that night Asrul did not sleep but rather drew up a plan in the future. "I want to train my body as soon as possible but Master won't allow me... "Asrul was worried and thought to determine the attitude and choices he would take in the future. Asrul intends to become a talented student so that the staff gives himself enough resources to speed up the training process while giving pride to Gus Mukhlas.

The problem is that Asrul also realized that he could not immediately practice using the Book of Al Hikam. If one wanted to store a large amount of energy in his body, then he would have to train his body to be strong enough to store all of that inner power.

In his previous life, Asrul found this book at the age of 40, when he was already one of the high-level heroes in the martial world.The body of Asrul at that time allowed him to directly practice the Book of Al Hikam but different cases this time.

The first part of the Book of Al Hikam is the 'Defining of Aura Tasawwuf' which made Asrul very surprised when reading it.

A person's martial talent was usually judged by the quality of his aura and body structure, a fighter could usually improve the quality of their aura with some kind of medicine and magic plants, but it wasn't easy to obtain it.

Most people improve the quality of their aura with decades of rigorous training, and even that does little to improve the quality of a fighter's aura.

Asrul is often in the study room at night though. When Gus Mukhlas was not watching him, Asrul copied the Book of Al Hikmah in an empty book. Asrul also wrote down all the important events he could remember.

Although Asrul has memories from his previous life about many things that happened in the future but that does not mean he cannot forget. Over time after living his new life there must be something he forgot, which is why Asrul recorded everything and kept it well.

"Asrul, there's something Master needs to talk to you about..." After jogging in the morning, Gus Mukhlas suddenly asked Asrul to sit in front of him and listen to what Gus Mukhlas wanted to say. "Asrul, As the Imam of Padepokan, Master must take on missions from time to time."

Basically, Gus Mukhlas explained that the longest Imam Padepokan can have a holiday is one year. In the near future Gus Mukhlas will go on a mission, he advised Asrul not to slack on his training.

"Teachers need not worry, students will not disappoint Master." Answer Asrul. Gus Mukhlas said it might take a few weeks before he returns to the Holy Site Headquarters.

"I can finally be free..." Asrul let out a long sigh after seeing the figure of Gus Mukhlas not being seen anymore.

Asrul was happy Gus Mukhlas' condition improved a little, but the last year Asrul's space became so limited because Gus Mukhlas always watched him almost every time. Asrul packed a few items before running to the Holy Site Headquarters goods warehouse.

The Holy Site Headquarters is located in the eastern part of Padepokan Kun-Billah, the house is also integrated with the Padepokan barrier wall. Over the past year whenever Gus Mukhlas has fallen asleep, Asrul builds a secret passageway that can take him out of Kun Billah's fold.

If Asrul wants to leave Padepokan Kun-Billah, he must report it to the administration room. Asrul was sure that he would not get permission to leave the temple, which is why he built this secret path.

Asrul carefully examined the surroundings before exiting the secret passageway, he then covered the secret door using grass and stones. The last few weeks he never left the Holy Site Headquarters, whereas Asrul is a person who likes to travel so his body feels very itchy to adventure.

"I can finally start doing my plan..." Asrul ran towards the east, where the destination was a village near the village of Kun Billah.

Due to Gus Mukhlas continuing to watch over him, Asrul could not learn much martial arts but he did not forget from time to time to practice to strengthen his physique by doing daily activities such as drawing water at the well, but he did not forget from time to time, cutting firewood, cleaning the house and so on. All of those activities include pretty good physical exercise.

Asrul also secretly studied the science of lightening the body, because he did not have the energy in so Asrul can only learn the science of lightening the most basic body that is mastered by all first-time fighters, namely the Science of the Wind Steps.

"These legs feel so pathetic..." Asrul smiled bitterly as he felt his running speed using the Wind Steps science was no different from the running speed of an ordinary person.

One real change compared to his previous life was the physical growth of Asrul, previously he was a thin youth who looked malnourished and lacking in energy, not at all like a fighter in general but this time he has a big appetite and does exercises actively so his physique grows to be big and strong.

Asrul slightly missed his ability to run as fast as the wind, but he also understood that as long as he trained hard enough then sooner or later he would regain that ability.
