*Black Finger Combat (Steaching Teacher)*
Gibas Madar ran into the Black Finger College. On the broad pages of the college there are two groups of people who are practicing for the last class of the afternoon.
The first group of fifteen young men and women were practicing pricking the ten fingers of their claws on huge bamboo poles clad in rope. In the area were dozens of head-high bamboo poles all wrapped in rope twists.
The second group were twenty young teenagers, boys and girls, who were practicing the basic movements of Black Finger martial arts.
The two groups of disciples were led by the two main disciples of the Black Finger College. The one who trained the group of teenagers was a beautiful young lady dressed in white. Her hair was three-pointed. It was seen that he had ten fingers of all black color, the same as his older brother-in-law who trained an adult group.
Meanwhile, among those who practiced, not a single one had black fingers. That meant that they had yet to arrive at the Black Finger Class, the second highest tier disciple. The highest grade was the Black Gold Finger Class.
The college only had three students who had already reached the Black Gold Finger Class, but all of them were not at the college. One is now in Singayam Palace as an official, while the other two are traveling to deepen the service in the wider world.
Gibas Madar ran towards the bamboo tower in the corner of the vast college courtyard. The two main disciples who were training only looked at Gibas Madar for a moment. If that one disciple came running towards the tower, he must have brought news to the teacher.
Teacher and Chairperson of the Black Finger College named Rereng Foam does have a work space on top of a bamboo tower. On top of the bamboo tower that was taller than the mature coconut tree, there was a room like a siskamling post. It was there that the Foam Slope incubated while watching its students train from above. Its high position makes it able to see up to the outside of the college fence.
Slope Foam was a thin man, but his seventy years had not made his hair and beard all white, only partially. He was wearing white clothes. In order to cover her up, she also wore a dark blue robe. The short-nosed man without the mustache had ten fingers that were like metal because black was shiny like black iron. Such is the shape of the finger of the person who has mastered the science of the Black Gold Finger.
“Teacher!” call Gibas Madar while climbing the bamboo staircase of the tower.
Rereng Foam did not reply, although he heard and saw the arrival of his student.
“Teacher! Teacher!” call Gibas Madar and put his head down in front of his teacher. He smiled at the horse.
“What's up, Gibas?” asked Rereng Flat foam, expressionless.
Gibas Madar chose to go up first and sat cross-legged in front of his teacher after a salute.
“There are greetings, Master,” replied Gibas Madar.
“Like young people just use tipped greetings,” comments Rereng Foam.
“Hehehe! From a beautiful girl,” says Gibas Madar. “Name Alma Fatara.”
“Who is he?” tanya Rereng Foam is still flat.
“The one who helped my life, Master,” replied Gibas Madar with a very serious face.
The words of Gibas Madar then made the Foam Slope slightly frown his old frown.
“You why your life is threatened?” ask the teacher.
“I was hanged by Nyi Bungkir on the tree, but Alma and his friends helped me,” replied Gibas Madar.
“Why are you hanged?”
“I was accused of kidnapping Gelis Sibening, because someone saw me last night passing in front of Demang's house,” replied Gibas Madar.
“Why didn't they ask Dendeng Pamungkas? Since yesterday afternoon the boy did not go back to college. Since falling in love with Demang's daughter, his behavior changed and did not obey the rules of college,” said Rereng Foam.
“So, how about the greetings, Guru?” ask Gibas Madar back to the original topic.
“For you only.”
“Hehehe! Thank you, Master,” Gibas Madar said cheerfully.
“With whom does Milled Saga come?” ask Rereng Foam slowly while looking far beyond the college fence.
The teacher's question made Gibas Madar look far back.
They saw a group of two horse-drawn carriages, exactly one horse-drawn carriage and one horse-drawn carriage, coming towards the gate of the college. There were five other horses accompanying the two wooden wheeled vehicles. Three horses belonged to the Alma Fatara troupe and two horses belonged to the dead Demang Baremowo men.
Running horses look fast, impressed in a hurry.
“Something happened,” said Rereng Foam without taking his eyes off the arrival of his students.
“That, Teacher! That's Alma Fatara!” gibas Madar said as he pointed in a distant direction.
Gibas Madar hurriedly moved down through the bamboo stairs. While Rereng Foam chose to go down by air. It came down like a rock falling into the water. Down straight but slow. When it landed on the ground, the dust moved only slightly. While Gibas Madar just arrived in the middle of the tower stairs.
The college gatekeeper opened the door wide for the group.
Slope Foam chose to wait in front of the college pendapa.
The arrival of the group came to the attention of the students who were practicing, but did not stop or interfere with their training. Upon the arrival of the group in front of the pastor, Giling Saga immediately got down from her horse and faced her teacher. He respects.
“Teacher, we brought the badly injured Demang Baremowo. Demang was attacked on the street by unknown people,” reported Giling Saga.
“Quick bring to Ki Sagu Gelegak!” command Rereng Foam.
Two people immediately carried Demang Baremowo's body.
“Almaaa! Hahaha!” screech Gibas Madar as he ran towards Alma Fatara who had just descended from the horse's pedal.
“Eeeh! Hahahak!” alma shouted excitedly as she pointed at Gibas Madar when she remembered his face. Then he said as his laughter subsided, “I forgot your name!”
“Hahaha!” the simultaneous laughter of Magar Kepang and his colleagues.
Gibas Madar smiled wryly as Alma forgot his name.
“Ah, I remember, Gibas Modar!” said Alma.
“Hahahak!” the laughter of Alma and The Gang is getting crowded.
The Slope of Foam, Giling Saga and the senior students of the college just look at the excitement created between Gibas Madar and Alma CS.
“Not Gibas Modar, but Gibas Madar!” gibas Madar's erroneous recollection of Alma's lost.
“Hahahak!” This time only Alma laughed out loud, while the others just smiled. “I thought you'd hang yourself again after we left.”
“Hahaha! Where can I be brave,” said Gibas Madar while laughing shyly.
With a small laugh, Alma walked away to meet Rereng Foam who was acting cold, guarding his wife. It was only in front of the college master that Alma held back his laughter.
“Honor me, Cake!” alma said while respecting the warrior.
“So you named Alma Fatara, the girl who greeted me,” said Rereng Foam.
“Wah, Gibas Madar can indeed be trusted. At the receipt of greetings he really conveyed to you, Cake. Means you are the Chairperson of Black Finger College,” Alma said.
“True,” Reply Slope Foam.
Alma Fatara then shouted to her comrades.
“Hey, Uncle! Debur Kang! Salt Kang! Ayu Kang! Uh, Kang Ayu. Ayu Beautiful!” yelled Alma calling one by one his comrades. “This is a salute to Grandpa College Chairman! When else can you meet with a magician!”
The four names of the people called by Alma hurriedly came leaving their horses behind.
“Honor me, Chairman!” said Magar Kepang first, as the oldest person among them. He was smiling, so happy to meet such a wonderful person. He then introduced himself, “I Magar Kepang, the richest person in three villages in Parasemiris Beach.”
“Hemm!” gumam Rereng Foam.
“I Debur Angkara, Chairman. I'm Alma Fatara's bodyguard. Hehehe!” debur Angkara said then chuckled shyly at the fish.
“I Garam Sakti, Chairman. I'm also the bodyguard of Alma Fatara,” said Garam Sakti more calm.
“I Ayu Speak, Armpit!” said Ayu Speak steady.
Mendelik surprised Slope Foam called “Ketiak”.
“Hahahak ..!”
Only Alma dared to laugh out loud like the fathers. While others could only hold back the laughter, including Giling Saga and the other senior disciples.
“Hei, Charity! Why are you held captive by yourself like a possessed person?” hardik Ayu Speak wonder to the magic woman of his new partner.
“Hahaha ..!” Add Alma's laugh because Ayu again called her “Amal”, to the point that she was bent over holding her stomach.
The Slope of Foam and the people of the Black Finger College who had not been very familiar with Alma, could only be astonished to look at the beautiful girl.
“I'm sorry, Chairman. It's not that I don't respect you, but I laugh easily. Especially since Ayu Speakara joined me. He likes to speak wrong words, so please be advised if he calls you impolite,” said Alma after his laughter subsided.
“Hemm!” Again Rereng Foam muttered.
“Before it was decided to be brought to this college, Demang Baremowo was under my responsibility, Kek. So we had to come here to ensure his safety,” said Alma.
“You rest for a while in this college until the condition of Demang Baremowo can leave this college!” rereng Foam.
“Thank you, Cake,” says Alma.
“Giling Saga!” call Rereng Foam.
“Iya, Guru?” sahut Giling Saga.
“Command the students to find Dendeng Pamungkas, because Gelis Sibening was kidnapped by someone. I'm afraid that kid did it!” command Rereng Foam.
“Good, Master.” (BH)
