A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Sewing Teacher 11: The Person Behind the Sky Trail

*Black Finger Combat (Steaching Teacher)*

The brown-clothed man who covered his lower face with a brown cloth anyway, stood alone on the edge of the abyss staring at the wild under there. The long-switched man was none other than the Sky Trail, the leader of the people who attacked Demang Baremowo on the way.

The Sky Trail had already been almost an hour standing waiting in that place. Until finally there was the sound of footsteps and the rotation of the wooden wheel of a horse carriage.

One horse carriage stopped under a large tree.

The Sky Trail turned around and stepped away approaching the horse carriage. The carriage sais who was a thick-moustached man, looked at the arrival of the Sky Trail. The two looked at each other for a moment. The Sky Trail saw on the sais belt that was around forties years old, there was tucked into a pipe like a flute. The Sky Trail knew that the horse carriage was not only sais, but also a swordsman.

“How do you work today, Sky Trail?” ask a female voice from inside the car booth when the Sky Trail has stopped and stands on the side of the car booth.

“I'm sorry, Nyi. I failed to kill Demang,” Sky Trail said as well as a report.

“Huh!” There was a snorting sound coming from the car room. “What happened? Isn't your group a reliable killer with a lot?”

“Actually my men's work is good. I should have killed him earlier. Only, there are third parties who interfere, plus the arrival of many Black Finger College students,” kilah Menjak Langit.

“I don't want to hear any reason. As per the agreement, my payment is valid until Demang dies. I don't care if you lose your life or not!” said the woman in the room with a pretty loud tone.

“Good, I understand, Nyi,” said Sky Trail.

“Then where is Demang?”

“He was seriously injured. If he is not brought home to be treated, he must have been taken to the Black Finger College,” replied Sky Trail.

“If Demang is in Black Finger College, it means it's a good condition,” the woman in the room told herself. Then the order to Heaven's Path, “Sill you want to use what way, Heaven's Path. I only knew that your job was to kill Demang Baremowo. But obviously, in addition to using yourself, I also made other plans.”

“Good, Nyi.”

“Don't let me wait for days. Your big name as a group of hit men is at stake!”

“Good, Nyi.”

“Remember, I await glad tidings from you. Now go!” orders of women in the car.

“Good, Nyi.”

The Sky Trail then stepped away with ordinary steps.

“Sumpit Bird, we are back!” the master's orders to his saisnya.

“Good, Nyi,” answered a sais called Chopsticks Birds. He then jerked the reins of his horse so that the two animals walked in reverse direction.

“Later you have to make sure whether Demang is at his residence or not. If there is none, use one soldier to convey to Nyi Bungkir that Demang was taken prisoner by the Black Finger College!”

“Good, Nyi.”

Half an hour later. The Kademangan Dulangwesi.

A horseman spurred his mounts swiftly into the courtyard of Demang Baremowo's mansion.

Seeing the arrival of his soldiers and horses in a hurry, Dengkul Geni who was preparing about twenty soldiers, immediately approached the soldiers who came.

“Why such a rush, Warrior?” ask Dengkul Geni.

Before the soldier answered or relayed his report, from inside the Demang mansion came out Nyi Bungkir who had changed clothes in pure white. She always looks beautiful.

Finally the soldier did not answer the question of Dengkul Geni and chose to go in front of Nyi Bungkir.

“Report, Gusti. Gusti Demang's entourage was attacked on the street and is currently being held captive by the Black Finger College!” report the soldier.

“What?!” shock Nyi Bungkir.

On that pretty face then came a picture of anger. He gave orders to his personal bodyguard.

“Have Geni! Gather all Kademangan soldiers, we attack the Black Finger College!”

“But what about the team to find Gelis Sibening?” ask Dengkul Geni first.

“Maybe Dendeng Pamungkas hid the child in his college,” replied Nyi Bungkir, his tone back calm.

“Good, Nyi,” Reply Bengkul Geni.

So, in a short time, Dengkul Geni mobilized all Kademangan soldiers. There were sixty soldiers gathered.

According to the rules of the Singayam Kingdom, each academy is only allowed to have seventy-five members. However, the head of the academy is allowed to have non-official security such as a tile, but the payment is borne by the demang.

Related to that, Demang Baremowo is not interested in hiring a tile, except Dengkul Geni who was originally a swordsman who confused the direction of life goals.

The movements of the soldiers who had been massing around gathered at the Demang residence, caught the attention of Giling Saga along with her two fellow students.

Giling Saga who are together looking for the existence of Dendeng Pamungkas, so put curiosity.

“Why are Kademangan warriors so in a hurry?” ask Giling Saga to two colleagues who are also not armed with answers.

The three of them monitored from behind the tree trunk that grew a little far from the fence of Demang's house. They wait.

Not long after, a horse-drawn carriage ran out from within the courtyard of Demang Baremowo's house, accompanied by Dengkul Geni on horseback. Behind him ran dozens of fully armed academic warriors, namely spears and shields in hand, plus one sword at the waist.

“About where they're going, Mill?” ask Brata Ala, a fellow college senior. He is a man over thirty years old.

“Like going to war,” said Giling Saga who could not confirm the direction of the troop's destination.

“But if in that direction, there is also the possibility of heading to college, Giling,” timpal Kulung, a rather short-bodied youth, but stocky. Suitable is called a warrior.

“Don't Nyi Bungkir know if Demang is in college!” said Giling Saga surprised at the possibility they were thinking. “Brata, Kulung, quickly find another and order all immediately back to college by back road!”

“Good!” said Brata Ala and Kulung obey. The two immediately went to look for a fellow disciple of Black Finger College who was spreading out in search of the existence of Dendeng Pamungkas.

While Giling Saga went to follow the cavalry. It follows by keeping a distance, as recommended by health protocols in pandemic times.

The further along, Giling Saga was more and more convinced that the troops were heading to the Black Finger Institution.

“Who told Nyi Bungkir that Demang is in college?” ask Giling Saga in heart. “There can't be that brown masked man. It was impossible if he was Nyi Bungkir's own man. It doesn't make sense if he's a paid person Nyi Bungkir ..”

Time is twilight. It is likely that Nyi Bungkir's troops will arrive at the college at dusk.

However, the horse carriage and Nyi Bungkir's army had to be stopped by a corpse in the middle of the road. The corpses were none other than sais and the two warriors of Demang Baremowo's bodyguards. The more numerous are the corpses of hitmen in brown uniforms.

“Better I immediately tell Master,” said Giling Saga inwardly. He then flashed away on an unusual path to arrive at the Black Finger Institution. (BH)
