True Martial Arts
Nobility Tirto

Kala looked at Kaia's expression full of guilt. The guilt was so deep that Kala herself did not want to try it.

“But who would have thought my prayers had my parents killed. I ... I .. it's my fault ...”

Kala let out a long sigh as she saw the tears begin to flow down those beautiful cheeks. “All has passed, right? Don't think it's a bad thing, you'll never think it's going to be lucky. If you keep facing backwards but time keeps bringing you forward, then you will crash even fall to the bottom of the endless well.”

Until here, Kala's speech stopped. He felt a tremor in the ground he was shaking. Also, his instinct told him that something was approaching. Kala immediately stood up and activated Mata Garuda.

From his sharp vision, Kala could see that there was a group of horse-drawn carriages approaching him from the right direction of the road. This horse carriage troupe was not a merchant carriage from the looks of it, it was like a noble carriage!

But, why would the nobles want to go through this uneven rat road? Usually, they will choose through the main road that is not bumpy even though the distance will be further.

Except, they're in a hurry. However, the speed of this group is relatively relaxed, or .. they are on full alert.

Kala stood up, intending to greet the group as well as ask the direction of the road. Kala also told Kaia to be right behind him.

Who would have thought that the party would treat Kala so harshly? The first horse-drawn carriage that contained soldiers did not behave kindly towards Kala. There were three more horse carriages behind him.

“What are you guys doing here for?!”

“We just want to go to the city, can Kisanak give us the direction?” Kala's smile was gone, but she could still be friendly.

“Run deep into the forest or we will separate your heads?”

“But, what should we do that for?”

“No need to talk much! Hurry up or I won't be kind anymore!” The commander pulled out a sword from his scabbard, followed by the others. “On behalf of the Sundoro Family, I order you to stay away from our path!”

“I guess, you don't have to do this.” No longer speaking politely. “This path does not belong to your grandmother!”

“Dare to talk, dare to die!” The commander jumped from the horse carriage and swung his sword horizontally down Kala's neck.

Kala clucked at the bravery of this commander, but his attack looked many loopholes. Kala easily threw a punch into the commander's chest.

The commander was pushed back and vomited blood. The other soldiers prepared to attack Kala, but a young man got off the second train to stop them.

“Enough! No need to be followed!”

Kala raised her eyebrows. This young man, his carriage was calm and dignified. His clothes are typical of Javanese nobles. His gaze was sharp, yet calm. Clearly this person was a noble while these soldiers were his bodyguards.

The nobleman turned to Kala then displayed a friendly smile. “I'm sorry for their attitude, Kisanak. They were too wary to behave like this.”

Clearly this noble was also wary of Kala and one thought with his soldiers. In fact, he did not get off the train when he learned the security forces were fighting with Kala, but when Kala defeated his commander he appeared.

Secretly, the young noble's back broke out in cold sweat. He never expected that the young man in a razor-shoe and full of rips had the power to defeat his commander who was also a pranor.

Obviously, this Sundoro noble doesn't want to make trouble with a great silat expert like Kala. In general, silat experts will kill who offended him. That was what this young noble was worried about, he was too early to die.

“Lain times, do not just expel others when this is not your way.” Kala said calmly.

“Force us, Swordsman. We were too on standby to the point of not being able to see that Kisanak was a good person.” The noble lowered his body a little. “As an apology, how about you guys come with me to the city. I will give you the proper compensation, at this time I do not bring a lot of money.”

Kala shook his hand. “No need to compensate. However, we hope Kisanak does not mind if we hitchhike until the city.”

“Ah! Of course I don't mind! Let's get into my train.” Young nobles invited.

Kala told Kaia to follow him, but she immediately reminded Kala.

“How about Alang?”

Kala scratched her head while smiling awkwardly. He almost forgot the Alang. If only Kaia had not reminded, perhaps Alang would have roared here.

“I'm sorry, Kanak. However, I have to be here. Hopefully Kisanak's trip will be safe.” Low bending times.

“It looks like you're waiting for someone, then I won't be able to force. We will rest later tonight, maybe we will meet again.” The young nobleman smiled and entered his carriage, as if he was in a hurry.

The group immediately left Kala and Kaia alone. They were moving very fast as if being chased by the sun. Kala shook her head slowly and then sat down on the side of the road again.

“Kaia, you made me some mashed ginger, didn't you? Where'd you get that ginger?”

“I think your injuries will get worse after being exposed to water. Therefore, I look for ginger plants when you take a bath and intend to make you medicine.”

He felt warm in his chest. He didn't think Kaia would care about the light wounds of the battle marks with the Ice Crystal Castle in the village. Apparently, behind Kaia's cold attitude contained a high sense of caring.

He felt a bit rude to Kaia earlier, maybe buying some things in the city would be enough as an apology.

This girl was so kind, but it was a pity to be covered by the cold nature.

“For that, I thank you.” Kala said briefly, but very sincerely.

“Eak!” The screams of eagles echoed throughout the sky. A little while later Alang descended from the sky towards Kala's shoulders.

“Alang, I already know the direction. Let's leave now.” Kala stood up and walked in front, followed by Kaia.

***

It's been really dark. Kala had just finished making a torch when he found a cotton tree. He only made one torch, the oil in the interspatial ring was not enough to make two torches.

The torch was given to Kaia, Kala preferred to use the Garuda Eye better than the torch.

Kaia's legs seem unable to walk anymore, but Kala said to keep walking without giving a reason. What's more, his stomach has also asked to be rationed! Kala did not give him any food.

This road is deserted. Other than the noble earlier, no one else passed this path. Kala feels this is quite good because he has a personality that likes to be alone.

From a distance, Kala could see a speck of yellow light. It seemed to be the light from the fire as the light flickered. Who else lit the fire here other than the noble earlier. However, it is early to rest.

They have horses that run much faster than Kala and Kaia. If they rest when it gets dark, they should be far ahead of Kala and Kaia, not here.

As usual, Kala's instinct felt that something was wrong had already happened. The spirit sword from his ring was ejected, unsheathed forward. Kala also told Kaia to go faster and be on full alert.

They half ran towards that speck of light. Over time, that speck of light split into many pieces and grew brighter. That means, there are many sources of fire there.

Kala further accelerated his pace, almost leaving Kaia who was behind. The whirring of iron that he had appraised as the sound of a sword began to sound. Scuffling after snatch also sounded.

Kala was there. It is presented with a terrible sight. A fight ensues between the security forces Kala knows and a group of masked men. Both sides are equally pranors, the difference is that masked groups have a higher level of practice.

Three of their horse-drawn carriages were on fire, and were almost gone. This indicates that the fight has been going on for quite a while. Some of the security guards were already lying lifeless with blood fused to the ground, but none of the masked group were dead!

There were no nobles Kala knew on the battlefield. It looks like he has been rushed into the forest, it will usually be done if the conditions are not possible to win.

Due to the noble who had kindly offered a ride and even compensation, Kala entered the battle to defend the security soldiers.

Kala stabbed the back of a masked man who nearly killed the security guard. The masked man never thought he would be stabbed in the back, he died with his eyes open.

The masked group saw its members dead caused by the person who had just arrived. They became increasingly violent and did not play around anymore, but unfortunately Kala also did not intend to play around here.

The battle remains one-sided, the difference is that currently the security soldiers are superior. Thanks to the arrival of Kala, everything was turned upside down. The masked group had already lost five of its members at the hands of Kala, they quickly retreated into the forest.

Kala had no intention of pursuing them, he had no problem with the group and did not know them. Nor do they know the clarity.

The security forces prostrated themselves in front of Kala. They think of Kala as an angel who came to save their lives. In fact, Kala does not use his abilities to the fullest and is not helped by Alang.

“Do not kowtow to humans.” Kala immediately helped them stand up then asked the location of the noble at this time.

“Young Master Tirto went into the forest securing the important scrolls. It may already be in the woods.”

Kala glanced at the pensive Kaia not far from him. Kaia was of course shaken to see the way Kala killed like a destructive beast. Kala felt Kaia had to see all of this to understand the princely world.

“Kaia, you wait here. I'll find nobility.” Kala glanced at Alang. “Alang, you wait here too. Wake up if they come with a bigger team.”

With all that, Kala went straight into the forest according to the directions of the security guards. His Garuda's eyes were activated again after not being seen by the security forces, this way the dark night became a little bright in his eyes.

He saw the trail signs Tirto left behind. Starting from a broken twig to the grass that is stepped on. His running speed was also very fast using the science of lightening the body, he easily found the body of the Tirto Nobles who were running.

Of course this young noble grew even faster running when he heard the voice behind him. He thought that the masked man who was chasing him was the same as being chased by death.

The nobleman would never have expected that the one chasing him was Kala!

“Wait! Stop!” yelled Kala who was useless because the noble did not remember the voice of Kala.

Kala's eyes focused on the noble's body, he did not pay attention to the large tree that was in front of him. His feet kept running.

Boom!

Krprr ....

Kala hit the tree, strangely the tree that seemed to hit Kala. The large tree was immediately uprooted while Kala was only knocked down unharmed.

“Am I that strong?”

Kala clucked in awe at himself while the young noble increasingly ran in fear.

“Aih, I made a mistake ...” Kala got up and chased after him again.

The speed between the pranor and the ordinary human was indeed evident in the gap. Kala quickly caught up with Tirto and told him to stop, This time Tirto stopped because Kala introduced himself.

“What happened? How condition ...” Tirto gasped for breath, unable to continue his words.

“Quietly, they are safe even if some are not so.” Kala patted Tirto's shoulder. “Why did the masked men attack you? What did you bring?”

Tirto saw Kala from top to bottom even though he was still panting. He still does not believe in Kala, nor does he know how Kala got here.

“No need to doubt me. I saved you guys. And, why would I want to kill you now whereas I could?”

Tirto thought for a moment and took a deep breath. “I brought important files about the area agreement of Mandataran. The masked group is a special force from Geowedari assigned to retrieve these files, how can you defeat them?”

“So you now carry important files while the soldiers there fight desperately?” kala asked cynically, he did not care much about his prowess defeating the special forces of Geowedari.

“This is a very important roll. I had to save him as far away from Geowedari as possible, even if I had to lose my life.”

Kala nodded slowly. “We'd better get out of this forest, a lot of pairs of eyes in the dark are staring at us. You can tell me more details while on the road.”

***

Kaia helped as much as she could. He tied the cloth to soldiers' wounds and helped them stop bleeding or minor surgery. Right now, he was holding the hand of the soldier who was being pulled iron arrows from his feet.

At that moment, Kala and Tirto came out of the forest. When he saw the condition of this soldier was very deteriorating due to blood loss, he quickly drained the prana so that his death did not suffer too much.

His friends are still trying to pull out arrows, but only Kala knows what it will end up like. Death was waiting for him, his blood was already wasted so much.

The soldier's body twitched a few times before it didn't move. His eyes opened with a look of pain. His friends seem to believe what happened; he is a soldier who is humorous and always entertaining in times of urgency.
