The Fighter
Chapter 129 Oddity
With the reason to protect the baby who is currently being conceived Rengganis, Wisanggeni postponed his departure to the Jagadklana Trah to save his mother. But his good intentions were less welcomed by the Rengganis.
"Nimas.., it is not Akang's intention not to immediately free the mother from the clutches of Laksito and his men. But our condition, which is not possible, will not be until one full moon, our son will be born soon. I can't bear to leave you alone Nimas." Wisanggeni tried to calm the heart of Rengganis, because what Akang said was true.
Rengganis silent does not respond to Wisanggeni's words, actually her heart also justifies what has been conveyed by her husband. But fears for her mother's fate made her lose her mind.
"But Nimas was very worried about the safety of Akang's mother. Rengganis misses him a lot." said Rengganis softly, tears began to flow from the corner of his eyes. Wisanggeni approached his wife, his finger wiping away the flowing tears.
"Kang is also worried about you Nimas. Did Nimas want Akang to leave alone, if Nimas wanted to.., Akang would leave Nimas in the village on the hills of Mount Jambu. Akang will take you back, and invite some people to accompany Akang to the Jagadklana Trah." finally after sighing, Wisanggeni tried to propose a way out.
Actually Rengganis wanted to follow Wisanggeni, she already did not want to be left by her own husband. But given the long journey, and do not know how things are in Jagadklana at this time, finally by forced Rengganis obey the proposal from Wisanggeni.
"Maybe we should split up here Akang, so that Kang Wisang's journey is not hampered. Rengganis can return to the pesanggrahan with Lion Resti. Akang can bring the Ulung Lion to deliver Akang to Jagadklana" said Rengganis suddenly. Wisanggeni was surprised by the words spoken by his wife.
"Is Nimas aware of what has just been said?? Akang will take you first to the hills of Gunung Jambu, and will bring some people to tie up as well. Akang also believes Nimas, his father and Jagasetra are already on their way to Jagadklana. Don't worry too much about your mother's safety." Wisanggeni broke Rengganis' proposal. Finally, bowing her head, Rengganis accepted her husband's proposal.
"As for Akang alone, what Akang thinks is best." Deftly, Rengganis followed Wisanggeni's speech.
"Now let us rest Nimas. Tomorrow morning.., we will resume our long journey." while embracing the shoulders of Rengganis, Wisanggeni brought his wife to lay her body on the bed.

Two lion animals finally flew back in the sky while carrying a married couple, namely Wisanggeni and Rengganis. When dawn broke, they had already left the inn to return to the boarding house. But on the way, visible from above there is an oddity in an academy where Wisanggeni some days live there. Emboldened by his curiosity, Lion Ulung gave the code to Lion Ulung to look around the situation.
"Let us down for a second. Ulung.., I want to see what's down there? The academy where I was originally intending to study, it looks like there's an oddity there." Wisanggeni asked the Lion Cleric to take him down, although only briefly Wisanggeni felt the life as a student at the academy, but the man was suddenly interested to see his condition. The lake and the small forest that were usually occupied by some guards and seniors, and some beasts that had ordinary magic power were milling about, at this time like they were nowhere to be seen anymore.
Ulung Lion swooped down, followed by Rengganis who also felt curious about what her husband would see. Without saying much, Rengganis patted Lion Resti to bring him down following Wisanggeni.
"Clap.., pang.." quickly, Rengganis' hand reacted, upon seeing an attack being sent at them. Wisanggeni narrowed his eyes, code Rengganis not to pursue the culprit. They then went hand in hand, and suddenly Wisanggeni jumped up..
"Don't run Ki Sanak.., I was a student at this Academy. My name is Wisang.." to prevent, the person he just captured from escaping, Wisanggeni told him his identity. The man raised his face, and looked at Wisanggeni's face.
Looking at that gaze, Wisanggeni smiled then nodded his head.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to find out. What's going on in this place.., why do I look like there's something strange about this college?" wisanggeni assured the man. With a tremble, suddenly the man pointed towards the pillar of strength. The place to practice the students who study there, by passing the stairs and stages by stages.
"What's going on inside that pillar of strength?" wisanggeni asked immediately, and the person he had just caught was suddenly trembling in fear. From the back, Rengganis suddenly took a nerve under his neck.
"That place is no longer the Academy's property. Someone had taken it.." It turns out that the man's nerves were made so he couldn't talk. Happiness was evident on his face, when he could hear his voice again. Rengganis smiled, so did Wisanggeni.
"If we are allowed to know, who seized the Pillar of Power? And what's it used for?" Wisanggeni asked again. The man looked around him.
"Don't worry.., we'll protect you." Like knowing the person's fear, the Rengganis quickly spoke to him.
"The Pillar of Power was overrun by the people of the Jagadklana Trah. It happened, when the new Trah leader sent many young people to study here. Given the name of Ki Sasmita the leader of the breed, Master immediately accepted it. But as Ki Sanak currently saw.., the teacher had already been exiled by those people, forcibly the students were asked to return to the origin of their respective territories." the man told all.
Hearing the story, the look on Rengganis's face turned red withstanding anger, realizing that, Wisanggeni clasped his wife's hand. The young man recalled the existence of his brothers from the Mahesa Clan, namely Gayatri, Niluh and Sentono. In addition to them, Vishnuadji also followed to study at the college. The Mahesa clan had already moved because it was destroyed by the Alap Horde and was currently in the city of Laksa.
"What's the matter Kang.., is there anything that bothers Akang's mind?" seeing the change in Wisanggeni's expression, anxiously Rengganis asked her husband.
"It's nothing Nimas.., Akang only remembered our brothers in the Mahesa Clan. Gayatri, Niluh and Sentono, as well as Vishnuadji used to study at this college. There is where they are." said Wisanggeni lirih.
