SURO BLEDEK
Ch. 40 TWO TRUE WINNERS
The selection of the young elders is going on excitingly. The fight involved two candidates from two different branch colleges.
Trang! Trang! Trang!
The game of two people who both use double swords clasped on both sides of their hands moves so quickly.
The attack carried out by a person who has a below average height is so fast attacking towards opponents who have a rather tall posture.
It seems that body posture is not an obstacle that has been proven in this fight. It was seen that the attack made a tall candidate once the veteran served his attack.
Such quick movements are helped by the science of lightening a well-trained body. Even his speed level was one level below that of Suro's lightning.
He moves so freely. Even her slightly small body was of added value to him. Because the tall one has trouble attacking the short one who moves nimbly confine himself. Sometimes his body was thrown in such a way through his legs.
Of course the tall lass received such an attack. The first thing he did was to save the only heirloom that was in his groin.
"Ealaa modiarrr I..!"
The screams of the tall one were heard as often as his groin area was breached.
The short used a short-sized sword so as not to allow any distance between them. An attack so heavy hit the tall one. He had to jump several times in order to make some distance. But the short one didn't seem to let that happen.
The movement of his legs that can not step as wide as the tall can be covered with his quick steps. He kept chasing the tall guy.
"Ealaa.modiar me...!"
The cry of the tall one was heard again when the short one lunged between two slits of his legs.
The sweat of the tall man was so flowing. Not because of soybeans but because of fear of his one-to-one inheritance was cut off. Heirlooms that are not sold in any market. If it is cut off, it can mess up his future as a handsome man at the foot of Mount Slamet. That made him sweat so hard. It was obvious anxiety was reflected on his white face, now turning a dead red.
The tall one seems to have a mental condition commonly called latah. Speech that many times sounded out reflexively. Despite his talkative nature he is known for his very good looks. Because of his level he earned the nickname Arjuna from the slopes of Mount Slamet.
He came from a Sudra caste family, only the son of an onion farmer. His real name was Paimo but by his teacher he was given a new name Jaladara. Jaladara can mean virgin or virgin. Because indeed his beautiful face has made many women fall in love with him.
Because of his face, one of the branch elders felt attracted to him and attracted him to be a branch student. It turned out that it was not only his face that made the elder choose him to become a disciple. His skill in playing the sword was indeed above average.
A skill that might have been from birth made him quickly master the sword moves. Not only is that the advantage it has. He is also known to have a speed of thinking and understanding of something is at an above average level.
His diligence in learning the science of canuragan and his speed of understanding among others, made him finally selected as the main student. No one denies about his talent.
He studied kanuragan at a branch college located not far from Mount Slamet. Ingguruan branch where he has a name that is quite famous, namely Perguruan Panuluh
"ala...Modiar me...!"
The cry of the tall or Jaladara was heard again when the slash from the Short returned to the direction of his lower body.
The short has the call Bajing(squirrel) Awarawar or Bajang(dwar) Awarawar. Bajing is another name for squirrels. Animals that are able to jump and move agilely between the branches of trees. Because it is the ability and physical he is reminiscent of the movement of a very agile squirrel.
While the word Awarawar comes from the full name of Galih Awarawar. Awarawar comes from a tree name that has wide leaves and many fruits attached to the trunk. Usually used by physicians to compress boils.
"So this is the famous science of Welut(eel)White!" Jaladara asked after trying to make breathing return to normal. He looked towards his enemy who he was already able to make a distance.
Ajian Welut white is one of the sports science that will make the user's body very difficult to catch. One of them is because his movements are so agile. Making his opponent is also difficult to attack his body because it is always moving randomly and quickly.
The tall aka Jaladara was finally able to make a distance of three spears. After clumping in the air while throwing his secret weapon. The weapon is in the form of small discs with taper edges. The attack was able to stop the movement of Bajang Awarawar who continued to pursue him.
"Clearly kisanak! I didn't think this science could be heard reaching Slamet Mountain!"
"Haha....! Sometimes the path of the bayu(wind) was lost far from the famous name."
The tall man aka Jaladara after feeling his breath that was so hunting now began to normal. Shortly after, he began to make an attack on his opponent.
Trang! Trang! Trang!
Three of his discus throws lashed towards Bajang Awarawar as the opening attack. When his opponent was busy fending him off he immediately lunged quickly. This time he did not let his opponent be too close.
"Waves of Scrolling Swords!"
Facing the stalling sword attack so fiercely did not make him tremble. His small body leaped rapidly dodging the attack from Jaladara.
That somewhat unique movement even made Jaladara a little difficult to find his opponent's body. His movements that could be so fast even his feet could rest on the sword that lunged towards his body. The foothold was used as a ejection force.
"The Sword of the Gods!"
His body Bajang Awarawar shot high up almost three spears. Both of his hands hugged both legs which bent and twisted rapidly in the air. After that he dived sharply towards Jaladara, as his sword spun rapidly shutting his own body with a flash of both blades.
The Sword God Force that combined such movements turned out to produce a devastating effect. Not wanting his body destroyed Jaladara immediately threw his body to the side avoiding the crashing attack.
"Trangs! Trang! Trang! Trang!
The swordball that came from Bajang Awarawar's sequence hit the floor. The swirl of his body and sword did not stop after hitting the floor.
The body was as if it did not touch the ground again revolving to form a sword vortex chasing the direction of Jaladara's run.
Jaladara seemed to have prepared before his opponent approached precisely he lunged quickly.
Trang! Trang!
The sword blades clashed quickly. Bajang Awarawar's body spun rapidly, while slashing both blades of his sword.
In a spinning condition suddenly one of his legs stomped to the floor, hurling his body close to the side of the body of the upper opponent who was previously too far from his reach. While ejecting his feet kicked both wrists of Jaladara who held tightly to his two blade.
The kick did not throw the sword that his opponent was holding. But with that made his opponent have no chance to brush off the attacks of his two blades that snatched towards Jaladara's head in tandem.
The consecutive attacks made Jaladara move quickly dodge. His body bent backward continued to be saltoed. In the condition of the back of Jaladara's leg kick that was so fast right about the right thigh of the back of Bajang Awarawar. The kick was so loud that it made his opponent's body flung as far as nearly two spears.
Bajang Awarawar is the main student of the branch of Perguruan located near Dahanapura which means the city of fire. The name Dahanapura is sometimes just called the city of Daha. One of the duchy cities which was later named Kediri.
The name of the College is Perguruan Alap-alap kumitir (alap-alap is a type of Javanese eagle while the meaning of kumitir it can mean spinning can also be like moving indecisive direction).
Like the Bajang movement that moves fast and erratic movements seem random. Therein lies the advantages of his mainstay style that makes it difficult to guess the movement.
Although added style mainstay white welut but Jaladara is not an arbitrary swordsman. Although initially he was only from the Sudra caste but his bravery and determination belonged to the knights.
It was evidenced by a counterattack towards Bajang Awarawar. The kick made a deep wound on his thigh so that his movement was not as agile as before. Without his agility seemed to just wait for time.
Jaladara stared at his opponent who did not immediately get up. One of his hands held the kick mark just now.
"Give up the kids! I don't want to hurt you! There is no point in continuing. I know your advantage lies in your agility."
"Haha...! Thank you for your attention, kid! I forged sword learning from an early age! It wasn't because my skills moved so nimbly that I was chosen to be the main student of the branch college."
"I'll show you the sword of the chariot."
Finished he spoke he leaped high up directly grabbing the fast slash of Bajang Awarawar's sword into Jaladara's body.
His words about his strengths are not only that his agility is not entirely wrong and also not entirely true. Because one leg hit by a kick is not able to jump the body perfectly.
Several times the movement of foot strokes belonging to Jaladara lunged at both legs of Bajang. It looks Bajang who only supports his right foot while his left foot is just to compensate making him have to roll a few times and then turn back to avoid the sword Jaladara chasing.
The fight is so exciting. Bajang whose movement has not been as agile before is still fighting. He is indeed a great fighter mentally well honed. All the spoil for him was breakfast.
No matter what people say about his physique that can not develop like the others. But his great interest in canoecraft made the branch elders interested in his determination.
Determination is sometimes just an additional factor to explore the science of kanuraga. There are many other factors that determine the progress of a person's abilities.
The position of him who delivered himself as the main disciple had made a dream come true. And the position he is now in that escapes the selection of young elders is certainly a dream that exceeds desire.
Bajang Awarawar is just another picture of Jaladara. Someone who wants to prove to others that the destiny of birth can be changed if he has a strong will to prove it. Like Bajang, Jaladara, who was only a Sudra caste, wanted to prove that he deserved to be equated with the knight caste.
Although finally in this fight Paimo or Jaladara who finally won the fight. But they are really two true winners. A winner who wins a fight in the twists of his life's path that exceed the expectations dreamed of during his lifetime.
