To be someone who protects an entire village is no easy task. It is the dream of every boy and their fathers to serve their land by protecting it with their own lives especially where rice is considered an edible kind of gold. The lads must undergo tests to prove their claim as a warrior. Qualifications include taking ten fresh boar tusks from the wild, must possess the strength to carry two huge jars filled with water and stamina to climb up the terraces while doing so. Lastly, to fight a headhunter of seniority in a match where the challenger wins if the higher rank obtained a single wound from an axe.
"This village will witness a great fighter incubated inside the body of a young man so skilled, that anyone would think the axe is an extension of his body." those were the words
of the Lakays (old men) which they used to tell everyone for a long time, until they finally witnessed it in action. Standing in the field, a severely wounded senior and the prodigy of the headhunting axe.
