True Martial Arts
I'm Not Intending to Have a Wife

But who is Kala? Who does not waver when a woman as beautiful as an angel, Maheswari, approaches her? Will Kala falter by seeing the village chief's son who is nothing compared to Maheswari?

“Sorry, Village Chief. I don't intend to have a wife.” Kala took a long breath. “... at least, for now.”

The adventure of Kala will still be long, having a wife will even be troublesome. His movements will also be limited because he must be responsible for the safety of his wife. Kala's wife will also not be safe because the Garuda Knight always has enemies. Every moment.

“Alright, I will not marry my daughter to another until you are ready,” said the village chief without burden.

Kala choked on her own spit. He explained slowly that he might not get married, so the village chief did not have to wait for Kala to get married.

While Kala continued to explain, the dishes began to be served. The smell of burnt meat instantly burst forth. Villagers who could not resist immediately stormed the food.

They do not eat well. They eat greedily! As if this was the last meal they could eat. Their mouths are full beyond their capacity.

The newly served dishes were not enough for such a horde of starving people. The other meat has not been cooked. Kala decided to go back to the room.

“Alang, it's time to give a burst of fire.” Kala opened the door and found Alang still perched on the side of the mattress.

The bird straightened its wing bones before flying into Kala's shoulders in small size. Alang did not know what was really happening, but he could only obey.

He closed the door again before walking outside. “Alang, you have to burn the meat later. The fire they made was not fast enough to make the cooking cooked, whereas the people had already started going crazy from hunger.”

The young man chose to use the science of lightening the body to quickly arrive. He could see the faces of the villagers who were not in good condition. I went to the kitchen not far away.

“Quick! Increase fire!” The atmosphere in the common kitchen was not too good either, the impromptu chefs here looked panicked.

As he exclaimed, “You can rest. Let us continue.”

Everyone in the kitchen looked at Kala. They finally left their jobs and sat watching in a corner. These people consider Kala a hero so will obey whatever he asks.

“Please, Mr. Hero, if you want to be creative.” A middle-aged woman invites the kitchen to Kala, but is treated as if she just wants to play here.

“I don't want to be creative.” Kala flicked her hand slowly before glancing at Alang. “Alang, you can show me your ability now.”

The body of the Alang which was the size of a sparrow now began to enlarge. The people in the kitchen closed their mouths so surprised, they initially thought that the little bird had just accidentally perched on Kala's shoulder. They did not expect that this bird was a giant eagle!

Alang stared at the fresh meat in front of him. His mouth spouted out a hot flame that devoured the flesh. The fire burns nothing but the flesh itself, what a clean work.

Alang did that until all the meat in this kitchen was cooked. Done in just an instant, they were again amazed at the power of Kala. They begin to interpret that Kala is a drop from heaven.

“Serve fast. They won't be able to hold her stomach any longer.” Kala left the room with a distinctive smile of hers, Alang shrank in size and perched on Kala's shoulders.

Kala approached one of the village chiefs and said, “The village chief, I want to borrow a cauldron in the soup kitchen. What can?”

“What do you think, Swordsman? Whatever the origin is for you, this village will give you anything as long as it is for you!”

Kala smiled awkwardly. He felt that the sentence was excessive. The young man decided to go back to the soup kitchen and bring a cauldron that was not in use.

Kala brought the cauldron to the outskirts of the village where buildings were destroyed and the atmosphere was very quiet. He took a deep breath and prepared the fireplace.

***

 Fire Alang burned the wood under the cauldron that Kala had prepared. The cauldron was now filled with water, within it were large bones along with some spirit herbs.

When assuming, if he boiled the bone until soft with herbal plants, then he could eat it tenderly and tastefully even though the essence of prana was lost a little. He hoped that with the essence of prana in this marrow, his bones could be stronger and could attack opponents with prana.

Kala also did this because consciously, he could not continuously rely on prana to fight. If conditions were like yesterday when he was being held back by the Ice Crystal Castle, then only his physical strength would be reliable.

“Life is so hard.” Kala muttered and threw a twig into the fire. “If weak, then you will be oppressed. And if you are strong, then you must continue to become stronger so as not to die by the enemy.”

Alang continued to listen to Kala's outpouring of heart on his shoulders. “Why can't we just make peace? Isn't the purpose of practicing martial arts to live longer, why don't they just continue to practice without having to fight?”

The intelligent bird shook its head. “Eak ...”

“You're right, Alang.” Kala chuckled as she stared blankly at the ground below her. “This is my duty. I'll finish it ...”

Kala suddenly sharpened his sense of hearing. Saying, he heard the sound of roaring cries from a girl who seemed to be young. Kala lifted herself up and went towards that voice.

The blue sound was getting heard. Kala's steps were further accelerated past partially collapsed buildings. His steps stopped when he felt that the voice was very close.

“There are people here?!”

The crying suddenly stopped. Kala hoped for a reply, but nothing was heard anymore except the whirring of the wind and the melody of the crickets.

“Who is crying here?”

Kala scratched his head that did not itch. And look around. The buildings here are half collapsed. When he saw the leather puppet that fused with the ruins, his gaze turned on the white cloth.

He stared at the cloth closely and then stroked his chest in relief. “Only windowe—” curtain fabric

Kala's heart stopped for a moment. His eyes were shocked. He shook violently when he saw the pair of eyes under the white cloth. The eye light is similar to the cat's eye light that is exposed to the reflection of the torch fire light.

If this was in the forest, Kala would have thought of the two eyes as the eyes of a night animal. However, this is behind the white cloths ....

“Damn it! Ghost!” Kala pulled out his sword, not running. It's a reflex when you feel a threat.

Kala raised the spirit sword up high, preparing to destroy whatever creatures were inside the cloth.

“Kill me! Fast!”

Kala stopped the speed of his sword which was already in the middle of the road. How could a ghost possibly say that?

“Who are you?!”

“Kill me!”

It's a girl's voice. Very soft and smooth. However, the voice was cold and contained a million vile.

“KILL ME!” The girl's voice was then accompanied by a small sob. “I ... I don't want to live ... I don't want to ...”

He took a deep breath as if he knew what was happening. He sat down and looked at his sword.

“You have no right to decide whether you want to die or live. Only God can decide that. Do you intend to fight God? He will not accept you in heaven or hell if you die.”

“I don't care. Kill me or I will kill you.” The girl said coldly, but remained with a million sorrows.

“Honestly, I'm afraid of your threats.” Kala turned her sword and looked at it carefully, then continued, “what if you were going to become a ghost because it was not accepted anywhere? You'll definitely haunt me until I decide it's better to die. Is that not the same as you killing me?”

Kala was a little teasing. He was sure that the atmosphere would be calmer and wished he could talk to this girl.

The girl no longer answered Kala. Maybe he was bluffing his teeth behind the white cloth.

“You don't want to tell me a little bit? It's possible that after I hear your story, I will willingly dirty your hands to take your life.”

“You won't understand! You are a depraved man.”

Kala choked on her own saliva.

“Eak?” Alang also seems not to accept.

“What's my fault until you say that?” Kala said again after finishing her cough.

The girl did not answer Kala. He seems to be the type of person who is indifferent, cold, and has no social concern. Kala took a long breath.

“News just a little. Maybe I can help you.”

“You won't be able to help me .. no one can help me.”

“I will do everything possible to help you ..”

“Kill me. Don't talk much.”

“I'll help you. I have a little ability.”

“Cannot be.”

“I will definitely be able to! Little story!”

“CAN YOU REVIVE MY FAMILY?!”

“It ...” Kala chose silence because he felt that the girl would talk further.

“Can you restore my honor? Can you restore the fate of my life? You are a equally depraved man like them!” The girl started to sob. “I've ... lost everything .. nothing left, this life tortures me.”

“As long as you are alive, then there must be another hope.” Kala insisted on herself to save this girl. If he left this girl alone, then it was possible that this girl would kill herself before dawn.

“You call this hope?” The girl seemed to realize Kala would be reality, the buildings were already fused with the ground now, there was no hope.

“There's hope.” Kala smiled gently. “As long as you're alive.”

The girl was silent. Not replying or responding to Kala, it seems like he is too busy or feels indifferent to Kala. The Garuda Knight let out a long sigh before thrusting his sword into the ground all of a sudden. He was worried that he could not leave the girl alone or that he would kill himself tomorrow.

“It looks like I already know what happened to you. Your honor was taken away and your family murdered. Your house has also been razed to the ground. Now that you've covered your whole body under the white cloth, this cloth is enough to scare me.” Kala laughed mockingly. “Pity your fate. You're really done.”

The girl let out an angry voice. “You...! Just get out of here and leave me alone. Your presence makes me even more complicated!”

“I can help you. But you don't want to tell me what I can help.” Kala raised her voice.

“You are a weak man! There's no way I can help you!” The girl shouted in anger. “If you don't want to kill me, then leave me alone and let me die alone!”

“My humanitarian side says not to leave you. I can help you. And I'm not a weak man, do you know a pranor? I am pranor.”

The girl was silent for a long time. When he felt that he was no longer strong enough to sit here and stand up to leave, he would come back if something happened to this girl.

“Can you help me take revenge?” The girl held back Kala who was about to leave.

She smiled gently and sat back down. “I can help you avenge.”

“Then take my revenge on whoever killed my family. That way, I can die quietly and won't bother you.”

When he again choked on his own saliva, he really did not understand the cold girl's way of thinking. “No. I won't dirty my hands with your demi blood. You can take revenge with your own hands, as long as you're alive.”

“Are your eyes blind or are you an idiot? Obviously I don't have the strength!”

This time, Kala had gotten used to the girl's nonsensical words so as not to choke on the saliva anymore. “I can make you to have the ability. Do you want to be a pranor?”

The girl was silent for a moment before she opened the top blanket that covered her incredible face. The beauty of the goddess of heaven is emblazoned before Kala, just below Maheswari. Her skin was clear, her hair was densely black and smooth, and her eyes were bright red.

Kala was surprised, not because of her beauty, but because her red eyes lit up. So this is what scared him.

“Do you really mean what you said?” The girl opened her beautiful lips, but her tone was cold.

Kala smiled warmly and nodded. “I mean it, as long as you still want to live.”

The girl stared fixedly at Kala, trying to find traces of lies but nil. Kala raised his eyebrows in wonder, this girl did not rise from her sleep and still continue to be covered when it seems she already believes in Kala.

“What are you ..” The girl closed her eyes and tried to steady her next words. “Do you mind if you give me clothes?”

Kala frowned and then realized something. This cold beautiful girl turned out to have a reason to hide behind that white cloth! As he quickly turned his gaze away, he no longer dared to stare at the white cloth anymore.

This girl indeed covered her body with cloth because she did not wear a single piece of clothing. This was all due to the depraved behavior of the Ice Crystal Castle disciples!
