Bab 12: Kalasag (Shield)
"I know you just woke up but this doesn't explain what happened in that week that you fell asleep unconcious and you woke up like a different person."
"Don't worry about it I am fine , focus on what I said you will surpass my brother if you practice enough maybe you can defeat me also."
"If what you said is true then I will listen to you, I don't know how you become strong but if you say I can surpass Ales , then I will believe you."
"I am not strong you are just easy to defeat. No doubt you will become the strongest warrior here in the future if you mastered how to use your strength."
"That is a proming thing to say , should I call your brother then ?"
"No need he is coming."
"Asterio , that was a disgraceful way to fight. Using the earth to distract someone."
"Does that matter ? Even if we fight without using that he would still lose. How about you, you care about being respectful do you think your opponent will respect you when both of you are fighting for your lives no he wont. "
"Our father fought respectfully even our ancestors. Are you disgracing our family's way of fighting."
"Yes our ancestor and father did, but that was them how about you , you almost lost to Norja it wasn't a fight you kept running away what if you crossed swords with him , no DOUBT you have lost. If you are both enemies and lives on the line you have died already. No wonder I was asleep for a week because of that you're weak you cant even protect a child but now I shall help you how to win."
"You're not Asterio just who are you ? My brother doesn't talk like that and earlier what I ate its not something that you should know you speak and move like a different person how about we battle for real if I win will you tell me who you really are."
"If I win?"
"I would do anything that you say , but just saying I won't lose to you if you are Asterio then you should've known already I am one of the strongest hunters on this tribe only the elder and the leader are the person who could defeat me."
"Strongest ? Yes you are fast and all but you can't be the strongest with just that I dont know about the other 2 but I'm pretty sure Norja is stronger than you."
"My brother who always follow me now thinks someone is stronger than me that hurts my feelings but you will know why I am one of the strongest. "
"This is my second time to fight someone and I'm already fighting someone who is one of the strongest ? Brother you are strong indeed ."
(He is the most annoying type of guy in the modern era a person who thinks he is to be respected because he is one of the strongest I have to prove him wrong. I was a victim of the unfairness of the modern era and I wish to start a new life here and lead them to a society where anyone could be the best and everyone could live where the strong doesn't belittle them.)
"Let us fight seriously then, dont worry I will stop when I think your life is in danger mother would kill once she knew I defeated you in a battle after you just woke up."
"Haha how considerate of you but I too dont plan on losing . You lack many things and I should help you fix those."
Hmm . . Ales fight on a different style because he's short he's agile so he moves very fast he knows my trick so it won't work then I should use a different type of approach fighting him .
. . . .
Ah I remember , the greek invented how to fight skillfully using the shiled they invented the phalanx a shield wall of in place of rank of soldiers the romans then perfected it leading to the creation of testudo a perfect defense on shield and perfect offense using the spear. You need a very discipline training to do that because if one collapse the formation will be ruined. Though I am just only one , I can still use shield not only as defense but also the best offense , you can deflect his attack by stopping his attack mid way , you can also bash him to outbalance him. Speaking of Lapu-Lapu also used a shield known as Kalasag (Kalasag is a rectangular myth-motif shield used by the natives made by hard wood and designed with intricate carvings and has rattan binding.) During the invasion of the spanish on 1521 the battle of Mactan Lapu-Lapu used a shield during his fight with the explorer Ferdinand Magellan who was later killed.
Its a perfect weapon to fight against my brother . I picked up a shield and the spear but instead of the 2 meter spear I only used a short spear to lessen the weight and for more mobility.
"So now you're using a shield ? Are you planning to hide behind your shield and hope I get exhausted? I'll let you know hide behind your shield and you'll just get knocked down with it."
I placed my shield in front of me then using the tip of my spear I sneakly dug a whole while covering it with my shield and I will lure him there and without him not knowing the uneven surface will trip him making him outbalanced .
"Are you done you can't even lift your shield ? A perfect way to hide isn't it but you can't hide there from me you know ."
"Brother I didn't know you are this talkative I wont be using this shield as a means to hide you'll have to see for yourself. "
Then I finished preparing my whole all I have to do is lure him here.
"Lets start then? You can come whenever you want"
