DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 93: NIGHT OF INAGURATION

    Even a week of Student Orientation Period events for new students at National High School are held in order to introduce seklah for new students. And as always, on the last day, that is, on Saturday, was held the night of the inauguration. The morning was just ten in the morning. The new students can rest. But in the afternoon at five in the afternoon, they had to come to school again to attend the Inauguration Night event.

    Every new student is required to bring firewood. The firewood was later to make a campfire. So for students who have not brought firewood, they are on the buy to the market or stalls that provide. It was easy to get firewood. One tie is only a thousand rupiahs.

    Not only were they told to bring firewood, but they also had to prepare a show that would be displayed in the Inauguration Night event. Hence, even though they could go home first, but many gathered to prepare the staging. They're on rehearsal. Some are singing, some are dancing, some even will be beratraksi. Kinds of.

    There was a rickshawman who used to run in front of the school, because he knew the habit of holding a campfire on the last day of the Student Orientation Period, because he knew the habit of holding a campfire on the last day of the Student Orientation Period, so the rickshawman had bought firewood from the market, then put it on his rickshaw, he went in front of the school, selling firewood there. The new disciples bought firewood for the rickshawman. Not hard, not bother. Once purchased, directly submitted to the committee. Just step in front of the school gate. The price is the same as in the market. Pretty smart that rickshaw guy. In just an instant it had already scooped up a huge profit.

    Evening arrived. The committee is ready in the field. Even have set firewood that will be used as a campfire. A large barrel that has been cut in half is placed in the middle of the field. Then in the barrel was arranged neat firewood. Yes, this committee uses a barrel as a place of fire, because the field has been plastered all, so that the heat and fire and ashes of the rest of the combustion do not damage the floor and the ashes are immediately accommodated in the barrel.

    At the edge of the field there is still a pile of firewood that later to add to the fire if the burned will already run out. Next to the pile of firewood was a bottle containing tanak oil. This kerosene will be splashed into the firewood so that the fire is immediately formed. While near the kerosene bottle there is an oil torch made of bamboo. There are four pieces. Later it will be used to light fires from representatives of four groups, namely the Nusa, Bangsa, Bhinneka and Nusantara groups.

    One by one, new students arrive. Both the committee and the freshmen started marching on the field.

    "Jsaaaaap ....... Grac!!!" heard a warning from one of the OSIS managers preparing a line. Very loud voice. Because this time the cue went into the sound system. Yes, for the Inauguration Night event there is a loudspeaker.

    At five o'clock in the afternoon, the show began. The position of orientation participants, namely new students, has been lined up as if they wanted a ceremony. The lines are grouped according to the names of the groups. They were still wearing blue and white clothes.

    The managers of OSIS. This time they didn't arrange for his underclassmen. But they marched along, forming a line to the left of the new disciple. The difference is, this OSIS manager is already wearing white gray clothes, high school uniforms.

    After the barisa was neat and calm, out of the teacher room, a number of teachers entered the field and stood marching in front of the new student army. A fat woman stood in the middle, flanked by two men on the left and on the right was a woman and a man. The fat girl in the middle was the headmaster. While the four people on his left right were the vice school heads. There are vice principals in curriculum, student affairs, infrastructure and public relations.

    While near the management team of OSIS, also stood other teachers. The row is slightly forward and facing to the right side of the troops. So that the teachers can be seen by all students. The teachers have not yet returned home. Seen from the PSH clothes worn from the morning has not changed. It was a sign of the loyalty of the teachers in the school.

    The event immediately began. The principal gave a welcome. Not just a word of greeting, but more emphasis on coaching. The big body's grazing sound was steady. Directly shakes in the ears of the participants of the activity. His words are full of meaning. Not scary, but rather motivating, so that new students understand the rules of the school, and maintain a sense of togetherness, both with fellow students and with upperclassmen. And the most important thing is to carve out the best possible achievement.

    In addition to providing coaching, the principal introduced the teachers who will later teach. Starting from the one standing on the right and left side and the teachers standing in the row on the left side. Everything introduced. Including the class guardians who will guide the class of new students.

    Until the sun goes down, the fat female principal gives coaching. And furthermore, the troops that were in the field were rested. Of course to perform maghrib worship for those who believe as Muslims.

    Not only to honor the Muslims, but during the break, the committee distributed the consumption of dinner to all participants. Including for teachers.

    At that time, it began to look familiarity between the upperclassman and his underclassman. They eat together without any dividers. They are united. Some are acquainted, some are directly telling stories. At such times, it is usually the aggressive upperclassman looking for his beautiful underclassman to woo. Who knows, you could be a girlfriend.

    Until seven o'clock dinner time is over. The students returned to the field. But this time it did not line up like the ceremony, but rather formed a circle. They surround the barrels that will be used to light the bonfire.

    "Everything ......!! Cross your hands in the chest ...! Then grab your friend's hand on the left-right side ...!!" The committee gave instructions to arrange the circle to coincide with each other.

    The participants of the inauguration also carried out the committee's orders. This time that line formed the linkaran was not just a student just now. But interrupts between each group have been entered by the board of OSIS which became part of the circle. Of course, they have now blended in, and together with his underclassmen to attend the Inauguration Night event. The teachers just stood in the field. Although these teachers went around, but did not join hands with the students. They just looked behind the circle of disciples.

    "One nusa .... One nation .... Our one language ......"

    After singing the song One Nusa Satu Bangsa, the committee sent four group leaders forward. The heads of the all-male group, advanced forward standing near the barrel where the wooden pile had already been laid out. Then the committee gave bamboo torches to four leaders of the group. Then the headmaster's mother came in, and lit a match, to ignite one of the torches held by the head of the group who was already standing facing the wood of the campfire from the four directions of the wind.

    "Hopefully this bonfire will ignite your spirit in this school, so that all of you will burn like a fire in achieving achievement ...." so said the headmaster's mother who then lit a match and ignited to one of the torches held by the head of the group who stood facing the pile of firewood.

    "Thought ...!" the torch was lit.

    Then the torch that had been lit was brought closer to the other group leaders who were ready to attach the torch.

    "Thought ...!" two torches are now on.

    The second torch was lit, giving fire to the third torch. And the third torch gave its fire to the head of the group holding the fourth torch. And the four torches are now all lit up.

    "We will start a bonfire, from the four directions of the cardinal direction .... Later we will illuminate this nation from all directions." said the one who arranged the event, who then began to count down to light the bonfire, "Three ...!! Two ...!! One ...!!"

    "Thought ...! Buull ..." The bonfire instantly lit a huge blaze.

    "Our fire is on ..... Our fire is lit ..... Apis .... Apis .... Our fire is lit ....."

    The participants of the Inauguration Night also immediately sang the song Our fire is lit. And of course still join hands and move around the fire.

    Next, each group will display the attractions one by one. The first is the vocal group. Some are picking guitars, some are patting the ketipung, there are also those who carry chirps. And there are singers. Whether the training is when, they are very compact. The song that was sung was certainly a song that was ngehit at that time, "Mars Slankers" a song that says that here is not a place for lazy children but a place where children study hard, but where children learn hard, this is not the place of spoiled children, but the place where children work. A song that invites friends to prance. More than half of the class came forward to sing and dance together. Very lively and happy. Not only who advanced in front of the dancing, now all the participants of the inauguration join in kicking fun.

    After the singing stage, another group of female students came forward who displayed the attraction "Wushu", a martial art originating from China. Who appear wearing traditional Chinese clothing complete with various accessories, look very beautiful. Her hair was pinched right and left, and tied with a green ribbon. He was wearing red clothes. On the bottom of the pants are pictures of flowers. His red clothes were a kind of ribbon that was coiled around the edge with purple. While on his arm was a picture of a yellow dragon. The boy carried a pair of swords. Then he beratraksi display his skills.

    Melian was very happy to see this attraction, his whole life, only this first time he knew there was a martial art called wushu. He observed every movement of the female disciple who played the pair of swords. I want Melian to be able to do those beautiful and interesting movements. Although actually the sabers of the sword are scary.

    Without realizing it, Melian was washed away with the wushu movements exhibited by her friend. Melian's eyes followed every movement. Even sometimes, Melian's hand moves as if to imitate the movement.

    There was a strange thing that happened from the disciple who displayed the wushu. His movements look weak. It did not reveal the hardness and might of a martial art, but instead looked like the dance of a meek girl. However, each time the child moved his hand, it was as if a huge wind was coming out from those gentle hand movements, which blew the bonfire, so that the fire grew and flared high into the sky. So it happens so many times. The louder he moved the swords in his hand, the greater the wind blew the fire. Even as the boy danced his sword over his head, the bonfire also danced, weaving like a sword being played. Though the boy who played wushu was quite far from the campfire.

    Of course the standing ovation from his friends immediately rumbled. Once he got applause from his friends, the wushu-raced boy wanted to find out, what was it. Because the child was not aware that his movements could blow fire and spread the fire far into space. He tried to look, wondering what was going on. Apparently, after he found out, the child himself was shocked, why could his movements affect and move the fire? Then he tried to move his sword again, only slowly. But it's true. Every movement of his hand that played that sword, had an effect on the flames of the bonfire.

    Knowing something was wrong, the boy was not happy to continue playing, but he was afraid. The boy stopped his movements. It also ended its attractiveness.

    Melian enjoys watching the wushu attractions. So in his heart arose the desire to learn wushu. Tomorrow Melian will meet the boy, join the wushu study.

    The night is getting late. Attractions after attractions continue to be displayed by the students. And finally, the group from the board of OSIS. All forward. Then invite all the participants to sing again "Enterprize".
