In front of Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong is an Ancient Chinese building. The typical one —— red wall and golden yellow roof tops. Two golden marble lions stood on each side of the gate. The two lions’ eye turned to look at Drahuafeawing and draflyindekong. Like an acknowledgment, the gate automatically opened for them to enter. After Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong went through the gate, they heard a click as the gate locked shut.
The Only Martial Arts Academy was huge, and like a maze. Every building looked exactly the same. Drahuafeawing and draflyindekong walked passed a pond and met a river in front of their way. They had not seen a soul since they passed the gate.
‘Look! There is a boat!’ Drahuafeawing yelled with excitment. ‘We could use it to cross the river. Maybe our teacher is on the other side of the river.’
‘Or maybe it is our first challenge in the school, to see if we are qualified. There might be danger in the river.’ Draflyindekong added in a cautious tone.
‘Oh, I have an idea. Let’s ride on my horsee and fly across the river instead of using the boat to prevent any tricks.’ Drahuafeawing said confidently.
‘That’s a great idea.’ Draflyindekong commented.
‘Less talking and get on.’ Drahuafeawing demanded, and reached a hand to Draflyindekong. Draflyindekong grabbed her hand and got on the horse.
As they were flying across the river, Drahuafeawing noticed some wood pillar tood in a line, separated from each other within a distance, all the way from one side of the river to the other side.
After they cross the rive, there stood a large, dense forest.
‘Look! There is someone over there! Let’s go ask where we should go!’ Drahuafeawing said excitedly. she grabed Draflyindeong’s hand, and run toward the person.
‘Hi! Do you know where are the others? We are new to the place. And where is the teacher?’ Drahuafeawing rushed out the questions.
The person stood up, stared at them for a moment and tried hardly to start talking like he was in pain.  FOLLOW ME TO THE TEACHER.’
He filled up two buckets under his feet, used a wooden carryingpole, hang the bucket on eaach side, lowered his body, and let his shoulder to carry the weight.
He started walking, but awkwardly, like he was going to fall any moment. He stepped on his toes, the sole of his feet never touched the ground.
‘Do you need any help?’ Drahuafeawing asked genuely.
‘NO NEED.’ the person said.
‘What’s your name?’ Draflyindekong asked.
‘HERO.’ The person said.
‘Ha! Ha! HERO. I am Heroin.’ Drahuafeawing teased.
‘DO NOT LAUGH AT MY NAME.’ HERO was irritated.
‘Calm down.’ Drahuafeawing said, and fighted off the urge to help him with the buckets of water.
‘I am Draflyindekong,’ Draflyindekong introduced hiself, ‘and she is Drahuafeawing.’
‘ARE YOU TWINS?’ HERO asked.
‘No, but kind of. We were born on the same day. He was a present to me.’ Drahuafeawing smiled.
‘Yeah, I wa a presennt to her.’ Draflyiidekong smiled too as he was in cloud nine.
Gradually. the forest became less dense, and houses like they saw before appeared in their eyes. There were huge barrels lined up in between the edge of the forest and the houses. HERO poured the two buckets of water in one of the barrel.
‘THE WATER IS FOR TAKING A SHOWER.’ HERO explained.
‘COME THIS WAY TO THE TEACHER.’ HERO ordered.
HERO lead the way to the teacher. On the way, they saw someone outside chopping woods, but no one else.
‘GO IN THERE.’ HERO opened a door and let Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong in.
Inside was dark with candle lights. In a lotus sitting position, a monk was hitting a wooden brick with a wood hammer while murmuring soething. In font of hem, there was a golden budda sitting on a lotus.
‘Teacher, Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong is here. We want to learn top kung fu. What should we do?’ Drahuafeawing asked ecstatically.
‘First of all, tell me your strength.’ The monk replied calmly.
‘I run fast, good at gymnastics, and figurative skating.’ Drahuafeawing said.
‘I can lift weights and figurative skating, too.’ Draflyindekong replied.
‘Hmm… You two can start to do what HERO does.’ The monk said. ‘HERO show them the way.’
‘OKAY. MASTER.’ HERO said obediently. ‘COME WITH ME.’ He said to Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong. And they followed him.
HERO brought Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong to where they store buckets and carying poles.
‘WE NEED TO FILL UP ALL THE BARRELS BEFORE SUN SETS.’ HERO instructed.
Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong each grabed a pole and two bucket, and followed HERO.
On their way, Drahuafeawing and Draflyindekong learned from HERO that the other side of the river near the gate was for people who had superior Kung fu. They flew from pole to pole to across the river. The new ones would live on this side of the river with their teacher until they could cross the river flying pole to pole.
New people would always start by carying water buckets to fill up the barrels for showers. After a month, more or less, the new ones would be allowed to join the morning exercise group where they would do some basic kicks and punches. Every three months, new members would be selected to be the VIP of the Only Martial Arts Academy, which meant that they could stop carrying water buckets, and practice Kung fu whenever they wanted to. They could improve their flying skills then. About half a year, their flying skills would be strong enough to allow them to fly across the river and live on the other side.
HERO also mentioned that there were special rooms on the other side of the train to become more specialized in Kungfu, but he neve been in a oom there before due to his situation. He never was able to fly across the river after he rowed to this side of the river by boat.
HERO also revealed the secret of the river. It was that there were crocodile i n the river that was trained to attack people if they try to swim or boat from this side of the river to the other side, to prevent people from leaving the Academy before they were trained to became master of Kung fu. Everyone who qualify to leave the Academy would become the top masters around the world across the centries, rarely defeated by others. May be defeated by the Alumini.
HERO himself was an orphan and was brought up by the master. The master found him when he was five. He had been filling up the barrels ever since. He learned some Kung fu but was always defeated by others. His Kung fu leel was about equal to the VIP members, but never became one.
After five times of wallking back and forth carrying backes of wate, Drahuafeawing was tired of the job. She wished that she could did some magic and fill up the barrels in an instant. She asked Draflyindekong if he had any idea of filling the barrels up without carrying the buckets.
‘You are the East Dragon’s son. You should be able to control water. Let it rain, maybe?’ Drahuafeawing was so tired. Her feet was sore froom waking.
‘I do not know any tricks or magics. I grew up with you, and never learned any magic from my father.’ Draflyindekong felt a bit of sorrow upon mentioning his father. He never even seen his father ever since he was born. A tear fell from Draflyindekong’s eye.
Suddenly, it started dizzling.
‘Look, it’s raining.’ Drahuafeawing said. ‘You are amazing, Drafllyindekong. Keep crying more.’ Drahuafeawing suggested.
Draflyindekong cried more and the rain fell heavily. He focused his gaze at the barrels, and gathered on top of the barrels. After a while the barrels filled up.
Thank you so so much, Draflyindekong. You saved my feet. I love you so much.’ Drahuafeawing hugged Draflyindekong excitedly.
Draflyindekong’s cheeks turned red. He had fell in love with Drahuafeawing at first sight, so he took her words literaly. He never told Drahuafeawing his love. And Drahuafeawing treated Draflyindekong like a brother, but Draflyindekong’s love extended more than brotherly love.
Draflyindekong would do whatever was needed to protected Drahuafeawing to make her laugh, make her happy and live freely with her will, but Drahuafeawing did not know that.
‘NOW, DINNER.’ HERO said.
