True Martial Arts
Pencak Silat - Arc 1 Finished

Bam!

Cassandra was pushed away while receiving a blow from Kala. When it did not stop there, he jumped up and knocked Cassandra down hard. The ground where Cassandra was slammed cracked and hollow, but Cassandra could still rise to provide resistance.

Kala brushed off Cassandra's every attack and kicked her in the leg. He fell down hard again, obviously no longer able to rise. Although Cassandra's hair was disheveled as a result of the fight, it did not reduce her beauty even add to it.

“You learn quickly.” Cassandra tried to smile in the middle of her breath going up and down.

“I learned from the expert.” Kala helped Cassandra to stand up.

“Well, Kala. Looks like you've had enough time here. It's time you came back. But before you come back, I'll give you a little gift.”

Cassandra flicked her hand several times before a wooden bracelet appeared in her hand. The bracelet was in the form of a rope inserted into some carved wood.

“This bracelet is just as functional as interspatial ring, the difference lies in the fantastic storage power. Inside is a set of clothes for you as well as books to help you practice.”

Kala was reluctant. He has been training for a month here, not only trained pencak silat movement but also about the ethics of his behavior. As Kala's nature turns quieter under Cassandra's guidance, the girl emphasizes that pencak silat is a technique that can only be played when you are calm. In other words, Kala is not easy to get emotional.

“I ... can't seem to accept this, you've given me so much.”

“It was not me who gave much to you. But you gave me so much. Know it? Since the arrival of Garuda three thousand years ago, no one else has come here. Plus Garuda attitude is not too fun, unlike you.” Cassandra smiled broadly. “Thank you for coming with me.”

Kala became luluh or arguably a little sad. He was a bit reluctant to part with Cassandra. Not because Cassandra is beautiful, but because of her amazing teaching.

Kala received the bracelet and immediately put it on her arm, but she felt it inappropriate to directly check the contents.

“Are there any parting words from you?” cassandra Goda.

“Thank you for everything. I don't know how I can give you memories, but I hope this helps.”

Kala raised his right hand high while circulating Prana. A few seconds later, he slammed into the ground, making a large hole that was perfectly round.

“In a few weeks, this hole will be a beautiful lake for you beautiful.”

Cassandra who was beside Kala smiled. “This is really great. I will remember you always through this lake.”

Kala smiled at Cassandra. “I will also remember you.”

“Concide your quiet soul, live in balance.” They muttered together before Kala turned into a grain of light and disappeared.

“I'll miss you.” Cassandra wiped her tears.

***

Kala found her body sleeping on a soft mattress. His head was not dizzy, he felt healthier than before. Kala's body was initially covered in injuries after the fight, but those wounds vanished unceasingly when Kala managed to obtain the Space Crystal.

There was Kaia on the edge of the mattress, she fell asleep with her head on the bed and her body sitting down. It seemed like he had waited for Kala to recover long enough to fall asleep. Kala smiled happily after knowing Kaia's condition had recovered.

At the dinner table there is a bowl that may contain food and a glass of tea. When he was very hungry, he could swallow a cow for himself. Kala moved her body to reach for the food on the table, but this activity also managed to wake Kaia up.

“Ah! You're awake!” Kaia shouted half-consciously.

“Not ... I want to sleep again.” He pretended to close his eyes.

“Wake up or I break your neck.” Kaia's cold voice was heard as Kala closed her eyes.

“Ah, this is the Kaia I know, always cold like early morning dew.” Kala chuckled softly before going cross-legged on the bed. “You kept me asleep like this?”

Kaia snorted in annoyance and then rose towards the outer door of the room.

“Where to?” Kala stopped Kaia.

“I'll make you food. You wait here.”

“Not already exist?” Kala pointed to a wooden bowl that turned out to contain porridge.

“That's cold,” Kaia said then she left.

“Ya, cold as you ..” Kala chuckled softly.

As Kaia opened the door of the room, a small shadow quickly entered and struck Kala.

“Aih, Reed. You miss me?”

“Eak, eak!”

“Eak?”

Mata Kala. “Sunday?!”

***

Kaia came carrying a wooden tray over which was a bowl of porridge and a glass of warm tea. Kaia looks furious when she sees Kala smoking.

“You just recovered and instantly smoked?!”

“This is my homemade cigarette, healthy and can be used for exercise.” Kala brushed off Kaia's anger. “Just get the food, I'm hungry and can't wait to taste your cooking.”

Kala rubbed both palms. Kaia lazily lifted the bowl from the tray into Kala's hand. A bowl of porridge with a delicious spoon, Kala immediately bribed it quickly as if the porridge was cold, even though the porridge had just been lifted from the furnace.

“This is so delicious! You learned from me well.” Kala chuckled softly to see the porridge disappear unceremoniously.

“I learned from my grandmother, not from you.”

“You can't be joked.” Kala scratched his cheek. “Where is Aditya? Why didn't he meet me?”

“He waited outside. I don't allow it in,” Kaia said lightly.

“What are you doing? Let him in, he is the owner of the inn.”

Kaia did not feel guilty at all, she stepped foot and opened the door. Aditya entered after being given permission, his face looking anxious rather than happy.

“Decars! You've recovered, I'm so happy! However, I have to convey something.” Aditya looked so anxious that he did not notice the aura of the Crystal Spirit Realm from Kala's body.

“You don't need my permission if you want to convey something. Please convey.”

Aditya's legs were shaking restlessly. “Ice Crystal Castle besieging city.”

When it did not look surprised at all, perhaps the Space Crystal had already turned it into wiser and quieter. Kala had also expected the arrival of the Ice Crystal Castle.

“Indeed it's time.” Kala took a breath.

Aditya added that before the Ice Crystal Castle arrived, the central headquarters sent two thousand troops to guard Kala. The headquarters is deploying troops to guard Kala! Not guarding the inn!

It seems like the status as a Garuda Knight is very important for Walageni, the leader of Laskar Progo.

“Aditya, can you leave me a moment? And tell Kaia, my friend, to come in.”

Aditya nodded then walked out of the room. Kaia entered with a flat face, completely unaware of the danger lurking in the city.

“What's calling me?”

“It's time you became pranor.” She smiled warmly.

Kaia was silent for a moment and looked excited. Previously he thought that Kala would not help him revenge including making himself a pranor, but it turned out he was wrong. It's so much fun for him! His hands seemed to be impatient to kill the Ice Crystal Castle.

“Sometimes you are fun!” kaia said with excitement.

“I'm not kidding, Kaia.” Kala said calmly. “The Ice Crystal Castle is already besieging the city, sooner or later you will face battle. After you become a prisoner, you have to help a lot in the battle later.”

Kaia's right eyebrow twitched. “Should I join the battle so soon? Why not just you? Aren't you the great Garuda Knight?”

Kala shook her head slowly. “I want to give you a little teaching.”

“You are not my teacher.” Kaia ketus's.

“Then I don't want to make you a pranor.”

Kaia jerked her legs irritated. “Isn't that battleground very dangerous?!”

“You'll see later.” Kala laughed crisply. “So you agree or not?”

Kaia snorted in annoyance while turning her face to the right. “Good.”

Kala smiled gently and told Kaia to cross legged on the mattress as well as Kala. Kaia is confused, but she obeys what Kala ordered, anyway for her own good.

Arc 1 is complete.
