KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Kiwi Narmada (2)

So do not be surprised if Begawan Narmada knows very well the intricacies of the Valley of Manah. Until now, Begawan Narmada treated the Manah Valley and intended to train the young man on Mount Sundara.

“I'll teach you a science that most warriors don't. In fact, Gendon doesn't have this science!” begawan Narmada.

“Really grandpa begawan. Previously, Valley said many thanks to great-grandfather!” sahut Valley Manah kissed the back of Begawan Narmada's right hand.

A few days passed, the body of the Manah Valley had recovered like before. The young man absorbed a lot of forging extracts, and also a good quality stealth heirloom given by Begawan Narmada.

In fact, the young man ate a lot of sour essence of mountain fruit, which only exists in Mount Sundara. Now, the Valley of Manah is preparing to receive knowledge from Begawan Narmada.

For basic training, physical exercise becomes the foundation of the science taught. Begawan Narmada invites Manah Valley to run through steep slopes, climb, climb steep rock cliffs and also jump over the canyon of Mount Sundara.

“Do you feel tired?” ask Begawan Narmada on the sidelines of his movement.

“Absolutely not a great-grandfather yet. It seems like the Valley's physical energy is endless!” sahut Valley Manah smiled.

“That's a sign Rahpati style that is on your body succeeded in controlling. Also basically your physique and stamina are very good!” begawan explained.

“Really great grandfather!” answer the Valley of Manah.

“Let's go back to the hut!” close begawan.

Arriving at the lodge, immediately Begawan Narmada took a book. Wherever the men hid the book, it was clear that it was safe in the hands of a noble heart.

The Valley of Manah read the contents of the book carefully, page by page no one was left unturned and also understood the meaning of what it read.

“Do you understand?” said Begawan Narmada which was answered with a nod to the head of Manah Valley.

“Try you stand on the front page. Do all the moves you've read from that book!” exclaim Begawan Narmada asked the Valley of Manah to obey his orders. “This presentation also speeds up your body movements in combat!”

“Good grandpa!” sahut Manah Valley.

Manah Valley stands in the front yard of the hut, while Begawan Narmada just sits on the terrace while guiding every movement of Manah Valley.

‘The earth and the universe are empty, thunder boils like a destroyer, the wind blows through the fine foliage, the waves come crashing against the coral, the small fire of the great flame lamp disaster, the, everything that comes from the ground will return to the land’

“Good Valley, you have mastered Ajian Mayu Bawono!” the Begawan Narmada.

“What!”

Manah Valley was surprised to hear that the one being studied was Ajian Mayu Bawono. The young man had never heard of the study at all, and it was possible that it had become extinct from the martial world.

When the day was near noon, they changed their way of training, this time the match-testing exercise. The Manah Valley punches and kicks contained immense physical exertion and speed, visible dust flying between them.

Begawan Narmada only followed the movement of the Manah Valley by exerting his inner strength to compensate for the young man.

“Excellent grandpa begawan, this movement of the moves is amazing!” say Manah Valley while continuing to attack Begawan Narmada.

“Good, Valley. Your movement is getting faster and very contained!” exclaim Begawan Narmada praising the Valley of Manah. “Thus, you can combine the various studies you master!”

“Thank you great grandpa!” The Valley of Manah bowed its body. “This is all thanks to the guidance of great-grandparents!”

When Begawan Narmada rested, the Valley of Manah did not also lay down his body. The young man sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, then understood everything he read from the book that studied Ajian Mayu Bawono.

“Valley, here are boiled potatoes. Eat first!” said the scientist who made the Valley of Manah open his eyes, and it turns out the sun has been leaning on the western horizon.

Soon the Valley of Manah enjoyed eating the afternoon with Begawan Narmada. Not long after, back Manah Valley continued its training. The young man stood in the courtyard of the hut, mounted the horses and made movements as Begawan Narmada directed.

“Valley! Try moving that big rock!” said begawan while pointing to a rock as big as a goat not far from his hut.

At first the Valley of Manah hesitated to do so, but after receiving direction from Begawan Narmada, confidently the young man could do so.

And true, a rock as big as a goat moved five steps from its place with the physical strength of the Manah Valley. The young man himself was also surprised at the greatness of the knowledge he had learned.

“Truly awesome!” lirih Manah Valley.

***

One more month had passed on Mount Sundara, the Valley of Manah was actually training vigorously. It seems that the effects of the attack of Eyang Rahpati also did not recur after successfully treated by Begawan Narmada. 

Tonight as usual, Begawan Narmada again invited the Manah Valley to run to the top. No, not running, rather jumping.

This time the Manah Valley movement was getting more and more agile and fast. When viewed with ordinary eyes that appear only as bright as black shadows moving places.

Until the top, both stop at a wide sandy courtyard called Puncak Latar Ombo. One punch was directed at the Manah Valley, it was just a bluff so that the disciple was more alert and prepared for the next attack.

With the speed of his movement, the Manah Valley was getting easier to avoid the blows and kicks of the Begawan Narmada which contained enormous inner power.

The longer, Begawan Narmada punches and kicks the faster, so the wind from the punches and kicks sounded roaring loudly.

Slowly the speed of the Manah Valley can also compensate for the speed of the Begawan Narmada, as well as its stamina that seems never-ending.

“You are growing by leaps and bounds Valley!” said begawan while launching his punches and kicks.

The punches and kicks that had been able to knock down the Manah Valley, could now be repelled and held back by the young man. Even just shifted a little because of the physical strength and stamina that has been tested.

Gradually, the Manah Valley exerted its fighting power. Now that the young man had already reached Ajian Mayu Bawono's perfect stage, all this time he had never used such great strength.

Without feeling the night approaching the early morning, Begawan Narmada stopped the exercise this time which felt was enough.

Begawan Narmada invites the Manah Valley to return to its lodge. With lightning-fast movements, it did not take long for the Manah Valley to reach the Begawan Narmada hut.

And as usual, the Valley of Manah sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and understood the contents of the book he had studied regardless of the coldness of Mount Sundara.

This routine runs every day, until the ability of the Manah Valley can almost compensate for the strength of Begawan Narmada.

“Valley! You have mastered everything I have taught you! It's time you went back to college!” exclaiming Begawan Narmada came to the Valley of Manah who was meditating.

“I hope you can use your strength to the best of your ability. You can come visit me anytime to this place. As long as the sun is still rising from the east, this place is always open for you!”

“Thank you grandpa begawan. All that great grandfather taught, will not Valley waste!” sahut Manah Valley which was greeted with a smile Begawan Narmada. “But, there's still something stuck in the Valley!”
