The Fighter
Chapter 147 Journey to the Central Region
Ki Cokro Negoro went to see Prince Abhiseka, and now they are talking in the middle pendhopo. Wisanggeni deliberately did not allow Rengganis and Maharani to accompany him. The young man thought of talking more seriously with his teacher, without resorting to the feelings that came first.
"Wisang.., it is time for Master to come down from the martial world. The responsibility for raising this college is in your hands. Since you yourself know, you are the only disciple of Master who accepts all my knowledge." Cokro Negoro suddenly invited Wisanggeni to speak. Hearing the words of his Master, Wisanggeni ventured to look at his teacher, and the face of Cokro Negoro looked serious. Prince Abhiseka also looked towards the Master of Wisanggeni.
"Where are the teachers themselves?? Wisang thinks it seems like it is not yet time to lead this college. Wisanggeni intends to go to the Bhirawa Clan, so prince Abhiseka along with us headed here. We intend to go to the city of Laksa together." Wisanggeni felt a little objection, the young man felt not ready to be burdened to manage a college.
"The teacher will isolate Wisang.., while waiting for Hyang Widhi to take the spirit of Master. You must immediately take over the responsibility of this college, and there is no reason for you to refuse to devote yourself to society." Cokro Negara clapped Wisanggeni, and the young man just fell silent not answering.
"It seems that what Ki Cokro Negoro said was there was a point Wisang.. If you will, I will learn a lot from this school. Who knows if there's anything I can pick up and apply in the kingdom, who knows in the future we'll always be able to work together." Prince Abhiseka also reinforced Cokro Negoro's statement. Some of the people who were there nodded their heads. After a moment of silence..,
"Well if Master insists that Wisang do just that. This student will not be able to refuse it." finally Wisanggeni did not have the ability to reject the good intentions conveyed by Ki Cokro Negoro. The old man was happy to hear the reply of his only disciple. Cokro Negoro intends to bring the spirit of Badr Tumbak Seto.
"Oh yes.., regarding the arrival of Prince Abhiseka here, is there anything that we have to fulfill the Prince?" Cokro Negoro asked the prince. Hearing that question, Prince Abhiseka smiled wryly.
"Ki Cokro Negoro don't make this young man so can't talk. Right now, please don't consider me coming here as a prince. I came here as a friend of Wisanggeni, not as a prince of the kingdom." with a subtle word, Prince Abhiseka asked Cokro Negoro not to see him as a prince. The old man smiled at her.
"Much can I learn from this college Ki Cokro.., how the obedience and obedience of the students with his teacher. How they work together without any suspicion of other friends. A way to make self-protection and all members of the danger that could arise suddenly." Abhiseka continued by mentioning what she could learn.
Wisanggeni and Ki Cokro negoro looked up, they both smiled at the words conveyed by Prince Abhiseka.
"Teacher.., in a few more days, this disciple will beg to resign again. There is an obligation that Wisang must fulfill, which is to take Nimas Gayatri and Nimas Niluh to the Bhirawa Guru Clan.... In addition, the obligation to perform sungkem worship to the father.., also Wisanggeni must do." suddenly Wisanggeni expressed his desire to go to the city of Laksa.
"Remove your obligations Wisang.. After your business is done.., come back!! There's a lot of work to be done here" after sighing, Ki Cokro Negoro allowed his students to return to Laksa City for a while.

"Teacher.., please leave. We are ready to leave for a while." in a slow voice, Wisanggeni said goodbye to his Master. The old man smiled, then rubbed Wisanggeni's head, then rubbed also the cheeks and head of Ashanka's Chakra.
"Go Wisang.., do not forget your promise to return to this padhepokan. Big responsibility is always waiting for you here." Ki Cokro Negoro said with a smile. After getting permission from his teacher, Wisanggeni immediately asked the group to leave the padhepokan in the hills of Mount Jambu.
The young man walked in front leading the entourage. Without looking back again, a few people immediately followed behind him. After they exited the border of the hills of Mount Jambu, quickly everyone unleashed their inner power to jump up and run away from the place.
After a full day of running and jumping, Wisanggeni remembered the condition of his son Chakra Ashanka. The young man invited Prince Abhiseka to rest, and they arrived in a very poor village. There was not a single inn in that place, even many citizens of the community were wearing tattered clothes. Wisanggeni looked at Prince Abhiseka, they felt full, until...
"Don't be afraid of Ki Sanak.., are we allowed to ask you some information?" Wisanggeni intercepted the young man who was stopping, and looked at Wisanggeni's entourage with astonished and stunned gazes. The young man looked around, and there was a fear glow in his eyes.
"We just want to ask Ki Sanak, there will be nothing. We promised to protect you." Wisanggeni asked. The young man was silent for a while, then nodded his head. Wisanggeni beckoned all members of the entourage to stop and rest for a while. Prince Abhiseka immediately sat down beside Wisanggeni, the two of them facing the young man.
"What happened to this village Ki Sanak.., why every time we cross paths with the citizens, almost all dressed in rags. Other than economic activity like this is not visible in this village, can Ki Sanak tell us!" in a soft voice, Wisanggeni asked the situation they encountered in this village.
"Yes Kang. Since then there have been new village leaders, who come from other regions. This village is the outermost region of the central part, and royal leaders rarely pay attention to us. Or even according to the estimation of the old people who were in the village, the leader of the kingdom might not remember if this village was their territory." in a tone of fear, the young man finally told him. Prince Abhiseka's face suddenly turned red, he felt insinuated by the young man's words. But upon seeing what witnessed for itself what happened in this village, finally the prince of the middle region kingdom calmed his mood.
