In this second Opus, our main protagonists will have to evolve.
Qun confronted with new threats and embedded in events that exceed it.
Dr. Patrick, must make up for his mistakes, will he?
The time seems long in this hot afternoon, while his attention is drawn to Alfie playing with children in the court of the main house of the temple, and his nostrils are filled with the heavy smell of traditional incense.

Then, he notices a silence and returns to his immediate environment. In front of him, the heads of the great houses of the temple, the heads of the great families of the village including the mayor and the prefect of the region.
All gathered and discussing the attack having occurred the day before that which left 24 wounded, of which 5 which have their vital prognosis engaged, and 7 deaths confirmed.
He had the impression that this debate had already taken place: it was a recurring question of the Grand Council since it was known that militiamen were operating in the neighbouring regions. Arm a private militia to protect the village and the temple.
But the village council opposed it, saying it could be a source of instability. This conversation has been recurring in the municipal debate for nearly four years. Yet, it was time to make strong choices.
Raja Qun had decided to invite the prefect to this meeting, because he had an idea behind his head.
There was unanimity on the need to create a militia, but he saw further. The great master Shiun with whom he had spoken the day before, had brought a favorable opinion to his idea, just like the master Kang who had had to be convinced.
"We must do more" finally spoke a solemn Qun.
All eyes were on him. And he will see:
"We have the best training school for monk soldiers. We have among the best warriors on the continent, and no political decision-maker has thought of relying on ancestral knowledge, coupled with adequate military training. We could build an elite squad that would serve to liberate the occupied territories."
He paused to measure the effects of his remarks. Then he resumed.
"For me it is no longer a debate. After the death of three of our masters who did everything to protect the people without having the necessary weapons.
We could have stopped them well in advance. The proof they didn't come out alive.
"We are asking the prefecture for help in getting the best military instructors. We will need a detachment of the best instructors, and we will form with them this squadron of success; the "Hei Bao Team" Aka ", the squadron of the Black Panther".
"We will train among our best fighters to self-defence the village, and to project towards military objectives."
Then he shut up and looked around, the surprise in the eyes of most of the interlocutors.
Kang outbid with his calm charisma and rare voice.
"I think this is the best possible solution; our school represents excellence. What do we do in these troubled times for our community?
The village is also thriving thanks to the reputation of our formation and we can participate in the liberation of the country on our scale. I think we are the point of the sword and this is clearly what we must strive for: to be the point of the sword and the defensive shield of these territories.
This time, all the masters agreed as well as a large part of the representatives of the village.
"It is a great idea, but above all, it is an immense responsibility on the part of our authorities. If the council assures us with the support of the prefecture a strengthening of our reception capacities, we have the quality here to do great things in a few months.
"On behalf of the government, we can allocate a budget to build a complex dedicated to the south of the village. We will rent this land with your permission and we will be able to set up a full training centre there.
"In addition, you will have the opportunity to eventually get command of your squads at first and then we will see the evolution of the formation."
There was a great silence, he liked to let himself be desired. "Sensei" called Qun to the direction of the great master Shiun. "What do you think about it?"
The latter became animated and loosened his mine before looking around him "What has just happened must never happen again" he began looking at the audience, then more specifically the mayor, then the prefect.
"This village will have to be secure and we must maintain our decision-making autonomy. We will work together with the army, we will need a budget that is up to par.
"If so, for me we can sign immediately." The whole assembly agreed with Grand Master Shiun.
