Chapter 13 - House on the Tree

Kaja took care of his business in Pertiwi Village, he treated the injured residents with the help of the teachers at East Wind College. Kaja now feels that the medicine taught by his grandfather is really useful. In the past, he was only taught to treat injured animals but now he has to treat real humans. All received Kaja well and the students, teachers, and residents changed because they saw Kaja as their hero.

For two days Kaja survives with the villagers. When it was felt that all the residents had recovered, Kaja was ready to go to the central capital on the continent they lived in. The goal is to become a member of Aflif of course. The members of the Earth Sky Aflif who were injured in the battle were disabled by their martial arts, so they had to start recovering their energy if they still wanted to become martial artists. They were healed by Kaja who asked them to go and be good people.

Kaja carried a small bag pack on her shoulder, she was ready to go. Putri was sad and gave him fresh apples and food to bring Kaja. Kaja said goodbye, he set out to step into his future. He must unravel the mystery of Grandpa Noran and his parents, he made up his mind to adventure and navigate this world.

Kaja kept walking, leaving the dense forest and passing many settlements, but Kaja kept going. A long journey, a few days later, Kaja found a restaurant on the edge of a small town.

When Kaja entered the restaurant, it was found that it was packed with people. From the appearance of each person, they were swordsmen and martial artists from various Universities and Clans. Kaja was confused about getting a seat until an old man and his entourage gave Kaja a code to sit at their table.

Kaja thanked the old man and his group.

In fact, they are Aflif's group. Kaja was treated by the old man and he approached. Kaja just realized now, of course, that there are many good members of Aflif, only people who really use membership in Aflif to do bad things.

But it's a common occurrence. The Aflif Association could not take action against them because the Aflif Team moved on its own, except for carrying out the mission that the Association had obtained. Even because of orders from several people who have a lot of money, Aflif accepts the mission to commit a crime or destroy a college. Kaja got the story from the good Grandpa.

"Grandpa, then why is it so crowded here? Seems like a lot of Swordsmen eat here, or is it busy every day?"

The grandfather also explained that actually according to rumors, there was a prophecy that said that the fruit of heaven would appear. This fruit according to fortune tellers will make the person who gets it have great power.

Because of that prophecy, now warriors and martial artists from all over the place came out and searched for information about him. In this world, the fruit of heaven is very few in number, whoever gets it, will become a great warrior and be respected by the world later.

Kaja understands now. His grandfather also told me that the fruit of heaven is one of the three powers that one can get to become very strong; besides practicing, getting strength from gifts and Rakuta, and the fruit of heaven.

"So Grandpa is also trying to find the fruit?"

"Neither Kaja, we have a mission to quell the pirates who often confront the traders on the border of Dromar City."

Kaja nodded and understood. Their mission is good and helps many people. Kaja feels comfortable chatting with Grandpa, Kaja also knows from the five Teams and Grandpa Kamir, that they have high enough strength because their energy can be felt by Kaja.

Kaja was very lucky because he learned martial arts and also learned to be an alchemist. With the combination of the two abilities, Kaja can detect the strength of a person's energy and estimate it without the use of tools.

After eating, the Afflif Sentosa Team led by Sanu and also Kamir as the Mage and the team's advisor separated from Kaja. They parted in front of the restaurant. Aflif Sentosa's team returned to work and wanted to inspect the border and hide to investigate and quell the robberies of passing merchants.

Kaja also resigned, that afternoon. Kaja followed the indicated path towards the city center.

Without realizing it, Kaja had been traveling until the afternoon. Kaja met several Martial Artists in the forest and on the trails. Everyone looks busy on their way. Of course, they have different missions, there are also those who are indeed looking for information about the mission, and there are also those who are investigating information about the heavenly fruit. Kaja greets them when they meet, they also advise Kaja to be careful.

There is also a group of people who don't like and don't care about Kaja. Kaja continued his journey.

Without realizing it, the night almost greeted. Kaja can't find housing. She doesn't know where to go now. She has to rest in the forest. Kaja decided to sleep in the forest.

Kaja looks for dry firewood, she also finds forest animals that she can easily hunt and prepares to spend the night in the forest if necessary.

Evening greeted him, Kaja made a tent from cloth that was quite large and placed it on wood which he had arranged simply. Fire accompanied him, Kaja also opened the lunch box from the restaurant and ate it.

Accompanied by the evening breeze gently blowing his bonfire, Kaja saw from a distance there was a dim light above the tree. Kaja just realized, there is a small wooden house there.

A person who seemed to be walking slowly out of the wooden house was about 100 meters from Kaja. The man is seen walking on the trunk of a big tree, he carries a lamp in his left hand. He watched Kaja from afar and waved his hand toward Kaja.

Kaja understood, she immediately jumped from branch to branch and reached the wooden house on top of the tall tree.

This old man greeted Kaja, Kaja also saluted, and Kaja was asked to rest at his house.

Kaja entered the house, although it looked small from the outside, the wooden house looked big once inside.

Kaja was asked to sit down, the old man was seen walking slowly using a cane. How could an old man live in a forest and a tree house, Kaja thought.

The old man went into his little booth, he took the food in a wooden cup and put it on the table. There's fruit there.

"Grandpa alone?" Kaja ventured to ask.

"Yes, young man."

They also engaged in some simple conversations until the old man asked what Kaja's purpose was for the trip.

Kaja stopped eating his fruit and looked at the old man in front of him.

"I want to defeat Lord Master and become chief Aflif. I want to change the rules in Aflif so that they no longer persecute the weak and make members of Aflif defenders of the truth."

Kaja explained confidently.

The old man looked into Kaja's eyes, "Are you sure you can do it, your ability is still lacking young man!"

The old man was still questioning Kaja's sincerity. Kaja was serious now, "I can only try Grandpa, isn't fate with those who mean it?"

The old man smiled again, "You are an interesting brat Young man. Alright, wait a minute, I have other food inside."

The old man went back into his room and came out with another cup still covered with the lid of the cup. The old man put it on the table, "Eat this food."

The old man opened the cover of the cup, there were grapes like it, but they were white. Kaja didn't even dare to refuse. Kaja took it and was about to eat it but hesitated, "Grandpa didn't eat? This is only one, Grandpa what will you eat?"

"Grandfather has eaten Young man, eat it."

Kaja didn't dare refuse anymore, she took a bite of the white grape, and it tasted very good. Kaja smiled, he had never eaten such delicious fruit, again and again, Kaja felt an extraordinary sensation of pleasure. Until the fruit is crushed and swallowed.

Suddenly all was dark, the lights in the room suddenly went out completely. Kaja suddenly began to lose consciousness. Am I poisoned? Kaja thought quickly but suddenly lost consciousness.
