KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
The Southern Star College

“Teacher!” shouted Lingga entered the college with a bundle of firewood thrown to splatter. The young man ran in search of his teacher.

“Groom teacher!” yell again.

Ki Purbowono was giving material in the learning hall about to go out looking for the source of the sound.

“What's Lingga!” sahut Ki Purbowono exuded concern at the look in his eyes.

“Two freaks, asked me to give the Water Book by force!” said Lingga panic.

Two men who Lingga meant had entered the gate of the college. A tall thin man, about thirty years old, with a sword.

And the other man was sturdy, seemed to be the same age, carrying a machete-shaped weapon. Both wore black robes with a red bat on their backs.

The headbands they use are black with the bat drawing having three horizontal lines underneath.

“Quick hand over Book of Water!” exclaim the man who brought the cleaver.

“Who's time—!”

Ki Purbowono's words came to a halt when the man carrying the machete quickly got behind him by draping the machete on Ki Purbowono's neck.

“You want to know who we are?” said the man who brought the machete. “Quick hand over Book of Water!”

All the college students were stunned to see the speed of the man carrying the cleaver suddenly darting and cornered his teacher. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do. While the man carrying the sword was still speechless with his cold gaze.

“I Kamaraka and him Yugala, my partner!” exclaimed the burly man who carried the machete claimed to be named Kamaraka. “Quick hand over Book of Water!”

“Lingga! Quickly grab what they want!” ki Purbowono's order that saw Lingga was still silent.

“Ta-but teacher!” sahut Linga trembling.

“Quick!” ki Purbowono.

The phallus quickly entered a room in the college, then came out with what Kamaraka wanted. Slowly the Linga gave the Book of Water to Yugala who was still standing still.

A little while later, Kamaraka took off Ki Purbowono and was about to pass away leaving the college. However, one step before exiting the gate of the college, Kamaraka was startled by an attack heading towards him.

Sure enough, one blow struck Kamaraka's face, but the burly man fended off with his machete that made Lingga grimace, as it smashed into Kamaraka's slab.

Ki Purbowono was the leader of the Southern Star College in Banyu Asin Village who entered the territory of Indra Pura Kingdom. It is located at the southern end of Yava Country, precisely to the southwest of the Kingdom of Sokapura.

Lingga, one of the best disciples of Ki Purbowono, the young man was still twenty years old, but already had a late-stage Inggil-level canuragan knowledge, half a step away from reaching the Bantolo level.

“Yugala, go! I'll catch up with you!” exclaimed Kamaraka who was only replied with a nod to the head of Yugala. “Hoi young man! Are you looking to die!”

Kamaraka darted his machete, Lingga can still avoid by jumping to the right side while levitating a kick of his left foot that hit the stomach of Kamaraka. The burly man retreated a few steps back.

An inevitable fight in front of the college gate.

“Badness!” geram Kamaraka's.

One slash contained a powerful energy in darting from Kamaraka's machete towards Lingga. The curly-haired youth parried with just a flick of his right hand, followed by the black light from the Kamaraka machete disappearing.

“Dragon Spray Water!”

By installing the horses, Lingga opened his mouth which immediately came out of the water to form a stick having a pointed tip along five jengkal with a diameter of half a inch, darting rapidly towards Kamaraka.

Realizing he was in danger, Kamaraka fended off with a slash of his machete that had been fed in black. The Linga's water burst apart and disappeared without impact. However, Kamaraka retreated a few steps due to the Linga attack containing a large internal force.

Ki Purbowono looked smiling looking at the prowess of one of his best disciples. While the other disciple was still a little tense, considering the enemy of his friend was very violent in carrying out attacks.

Now Kamaraka bolted with a machete that has been fed energy in black. The phallus only dodged Kamaraka's attack by slightly retreating backwards. In just a short while, the two of them had exchanged several moves and clashed with punches and kicks.

On one occasion, Kamaraka managed to corner Lingga with his machete slash. However, with Lingga's persistence, the young man opened his mouth when Kamaraka's machete almost hit his neck.

Kamaraka fell to his knees with a burst of water right on his left chest. While Lingga salto to the back and put the horses.

“I'll take care of you, then chase your friend!” phallus clenched his right hand.

“Hahaha, free young man!” sahut Kamaraka raised his head. “Before you defeat me, Yugala has reached headquarters!”

DYARS!

The Lingga Water Dragon burst collided with Kamaraka's machete. However, the burly man still darted by slashing his machete grabbed Lingga's face, the young man leaned over and unleashed an open palm punch that aimed at Kamaraka's chest.

BUGH!

Kamaraka was thrown backwards by drawing blood from his mouth. Not yet standing perfectly, Lingga issued a Water Dragon Burst right on Kamaraka's chest.

Back the burly man was thrown backwards and stopped after his body hit a large tree outside the college.

Kamaraka's body did not move, his breathing stopped and it seemed like the burly man had died.

“Teacher, I will form a team to chase after Yugala!” exclamation of Lingga convinced Ki Purbowono.

“Do Not Lingga! Let them carry the book!” sahut Ki Purbowono as he raised his head to look at the sky. “Maybe soon we will face chaos!”

However, Ki Purbowono's words were not heeded by Lingga, the young man was determined to reclaim his school's heirloom book. Lingga invited his two friends Galih and Galuh—the young twins to pursue Yugala who moved north.

Tracing the forest and heading towards the center of the village, the three of them moved quickly by lightening their bodies.

***

“Uncle! Did uncle see the man carrying a sword strapped to his back?” ask Lingga to one of the people who passed by, shortly after they reached the center of the village.

“Is the man you're looking for wearing a black headband!” sahut the man.

“Really uncle! Did uncle see it?” ask Lingga again.

“She's moving north, likely still reaching the Salty River!” the man answered, showing his right hand.

“Alright! Thank you uncle!”

Linga, Galih and Galuh accelerated, until they reached a river, the three of them saw that Yugala was washing his face.

“Restore Book of Water!” exclamation Lingga which was only answered with a smile by Yugala.

Without further ado, Linga darted towards Yugala who was standing on a large rock. The phallus spewed water that rushed towards Yugala, but Yugala dodged by jumping to the left side, making the stone on which Yugala stood to be crushed by his attack.

“Lumayan too!” lirih Yugala who flicked his right hand followed the black light shot rapidly towards Lingga.

The phallus dodged by jumping to the side and the tree behind it was destroyed by Yugala's attack. Galih and Galuh also attacked Yugala, the two of them were the same as Linga, spitting water towards Yugala.

Once again, Yugala dodged easily. The man jumped to the right side and the twins' attack hit the rock where Yugala was on, causing the stone to shatter.

“Because I got this book, I don't want to hurt you!” yugala was impressed by underestimating his opponent.

However, the Lingga ignored Yugala's words. The young man attacked along with Galih and Galuh.

The exchange of attacks happened so fast, punches and kicks clashed against each other. Three against one, but Yugala was able to compensate, only by fending off without counterattacking.

On one occasion, Yugala saw a defensive gap open on the three young men who attacked him.

WUSH WUSH WUSH

Three blows landed on three different bellies. Linga, Galih, and Galuh were thrown several steps back with their mouths bleeding.

“If I use a sword. You may have finished!” yugala said and turned around to leave the three young men who had been sprawled. “One more time I reiterate, I don't want to hurt you!”

Yugala moved his feet towards the riverbank. With a flick of his right hand, Yugala disappeared into the void that left the three young men behind him unable to blink.

“Sial! I failed!” furious Linga clenched her right hand.

“Maybe true teacher's word!” sahut Galih's.

“There will soon be chaos in Yava Country!” galuh timpal.

Holding his stomach, the three of them returned to the college without bringing the Water Book he had so desperately hoped for.
