The world has long been in a state of chaos, Aflif is an institution set up around the world to make peace. Unfortunately, not all good people are included in Aflif. They have their own goals when they enter Aflif and get a mission. Among martial artists, some wished for money, some wished for popularity, and some wished for revenge. And, there are those who really want to reach the top of Aflif, which is to become the leader of Aflif.

One thing that is important to note is the formation of the Aflif organization that exceeds all organizations in the world. Afilf was formed to maintain world peace from the threat of the Black Secret.

On a remote island and in a training ground from the only college on the remote island. East Wind College, a lot of college students are practicing there. This is natural because every child around the world wants to become a member of Aflif and earn a lot of money and also their highest goals. By becoming members of Aflif they will be proud of their parents and also of their village.

The training that the students continue to undergo at the college is very strict and full of seriousness. The teachers or college masters at the East Wind College are now teaching twenty students in front of the square at the entrance to the college gate. There is a simple sign at the gate that reads the East Wind College.

Their island is remote, but there are several villages on the island. Seeing that there were several villages, Central Aflif asked five members of AFLif from the island to devote themselves to establishing martial arts colleges and raising students in the surrounding villages. They teach and get a salary from Aflif. That's because Aflif needs a lot of warriors to be recruited.

So, their own mission is basically to train students to be prepared to become members of AFLIF in the future and also to serve the village where they were also born. The East Wind masters also have full licenses as an Aflif even though they are of a low rank.

The martial arts college was somewhat majestic for the size of a remote and backward island and far from urban areas. An island that is not even identified by the world.

At the East Wind College, children between the ages of 11 and 20 are still practicing diligently under the guidance of a master. He teaches basic movements and strength development. In the future, the master hopes that his students will become part of Aflif and can bring a sense of pride to the East Wind village and college.

A teenager passed by the East Wind College, the wind brushed against his calm face and a drop of normal-looking sweat dripped down his face. As usual, he would receive humiliation from the college students, but he would keep his cool and get through it.

"The water porter boy passed by again, your future is definitely underfoot!" Baron laughed accompanied by his comrades. The future underfoot is a saying that one's future will be bleak.

"That's right Boss! His life will be miserable forever, being a slave to Grandpa Noran," said Bowo, who was always the Baron's right-hand man.

The teenager expressionlessly continued to walk, one pole carrying a bucket on the right and left, while each hand was still holding a bucket filled with water. The total is 4 buckets of water. He had to carry it every day and had to accept insults every day.

A 12-year-old woman asked the Baron to stop insulting her, "Come on Sis, let him go!" It was Putri, the younger sister of the Baron.

"Leave it? Hahahaha," The Baron took a fist-sized rock and threw it into one of the youth's buckets.

The bucket was unsteady but the teenager was carrying the bucket of water every day and he was able to balance the water. If there is a shock or other he can handle it, even though he almost falls and supports his right leg to regain his balance.

Putri ran to the teenager, "Kaja, forgive my brother," the girl's face looks pleading, and this will help her to stand up again.

KAJA, 13 years. Without Ability, you could say martial ability 0 and never practice, Copper Grade. A person who was said to have the Copper Grade would not be able to become anything in this world, except perhaps just being an errand boy, a merchant, or just a farmer.

"No need, Miss, I can continue my way," Kaja refused Puteri's help, "I say goodbye, Miss, Thank you. Oh yeah, thanks for the apple, one day I'll definitely repay you, I promise."

Kaja walked away leaving the college students still laughing. He didn't hold any grudges or say anything at all. He went about his daily routine as usual. His grandfather, Noran. Noran always taught cleanliness of heart and peace of mind. Kaja must have it before anything in this world.

Kaja learned to be calm in his mind. For some reason, Kaja felt that his mind was always clear and calm. His grandfather, Noran, had only taught him patience in doing anything. Calm when insulted by others and care for injured animals.

Putri looked at Kaja's back, pity welling up on her. She only felt sorry for the teenager's future, estranged from friends and just working hard living in a hut with his grandfather.

An apple, Putri gave to Kaja from her lunchbox when Kaja was 6 years old and tired of carrying two buckets of water from the mountain. Putri sees Grandpa Noran as a cruel grandfather, letting Kaja continue to bring water from the mountain, isn't their water at home too. At that time, Kaja fell and the water spilled, Kaja was tired and was going back to the mountain to fetch water from the source in the mountains, Putri gave him an apple.

Princess, 1 Star Bronze Rank

Baron, 2 Star Bronze Rank

And the Copper grade, is hopeless, Trash.

Entering the Bronze Stage, one's future can be beautifully drawn, just work hard and practice earnestly. There is hope.

Kaja kept walking, she just hoped to arrive soon and rest for a while. Don't be late, or he will get punished again by his grandfather.

***

Exactly at 12:02 pm, Kaja arrived at his house. A simple hut, in front of the hut, is a field and a place to dry things, herbs and garden produce.

"Greetings Grandpa, I'm home." Kaja smiled, his grandfather did look hard on him and even forced him to work hard. However, he knew that his grandfather loved him very much because every night, his grandfather was always beside him and stroked his head. Kaja was aware of that, and it was a comfortable feeling.

Kaja put the buckets gently on the ground. One to drink a day, two for his grandfather, and one for himself. That's the rule. Kaja brought one to pour into the bath, there were already spices prepared by her grandfather.

"Kaja!! You're two seconds late, prepare for your punishment! You take a bath and take a shower first!" Grandpa Noran is seen picking spices and also leaving the TV on.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Kaja was also soaked in water that already had spices there. It feels comfortable and cool, the energy released during the morning to carry water seems to be lost and only freshness is left. No matter how tired he was, if he took a bath he would soon recover, he knew his grandfather was the best medicine maker and antidote.
