Kukuruyuuuuk
The sound of the chicken sounded so loud. Today was a big day for the students of the entire school, as the match was about to begin.
Mahesh awakens the entire student and asks them all to prepare. Wardani who had been up from earlier sat in the middle room of the inn waiting for them to be ready. More precisely Wardani waited to dress the face of Damar and Mahesa and Lingga so as not to be recognized.
" Aunty wardani, what's this all for?" ask Indira curiously. Because Indira saw some items belonging to the aunt who is usually used to apply makeup.
" Let's see, you'll know what auntie's gonna do."
Everyone gathered in the inn's central room. They all asked what was going to happen this morning before they started the match.
Mahesa will be the first to be treated by Wardani. Usually Mahesa would growl her hair, this time Wardani would roll Mahesa's long hair. He will also make a sideburn and mustache on Mahesa's face. Wardani believes Mahesa will look like everyone else. A while passed finally putting on Mahesa's face was finished as well. All were amazed, Mahesa really transformed into a different person.
" Duh Gusti, if I meet Master on the street without seeing this. I definitely won't recognize the teacher."
The words of one of the disciples were taken by the other. Even Lingga also admitted the greatness of Wardani in changing the face.
Now it's Linga's turn. The hair of the phallus is made the same as that of Mahesa. He was also given a mustache but was not given a sideburn. Wardani makes a andeng-andeng (mole) in the corner of the Linga lips. It's Damar's turn. The young man was a little surprised as to why he had also joined himself.
" Aunty, why me too?"
Wardani just smiled knot. Then Mahesa replied that he would explain it later when it was finished. Damar that has short hair can not be in any shape. Inevitably Wardani will only make the face of Damar somewhat different, namely by forming Damar eyebrows to make it thicker. Make a mole in several places and make spots around the nose precisely under the eyes. Everyone was surprised by the change in face.
" Well done. Kakang Mahesa, kakang Lingga, and Damar will use this face while in the Duchy of Gendingan."
All nodded in understanding, but still kept the big question in Damar. Can't stand it, Damar also asked why they look like that.
" All right, everybody listen good. Oh yes you can while eating your breakfast. Here's to Damar, said Bopo Guru Damar's face is very similar to a warrior who is powerful mandraguna. The warrior had died because he was killed by someone who hated him. Bopo Guru is worried that Damar's life is threatened because it is considered to have a face that is so similar. As for us, the story is when we used to be students as well as padepokan. We're also like you guys who follow the game, then ..."
Mahesh explained in outline about their past in this Duchy of Gendingan. All the students seemed to be listening carefully. They were really surprised to hear the life story of his teacher. Especially when they travel with great difficulty.
" Guru hope you can really live better than us. Don't be ambitious, don't just be selfish. Always use your heart. Fight your enemies when your enemies are equally strong. But if your enemy is weak, do not attack him. Remember what Bopo taught the teacher about compassion."
Mahesh gave understanding to all his disciples they all nodded in understanding.
" Oh yeah, there's one more thing. If your enemy is indeed unforgiving, then you have the right and the right to paralyze him. The point is that you use your heart. Which opponent can truly be forgiven. Which one to disable."
Linga added Mahesa's explanation. Everyone understands now. The students understood the direction of their teacher. They went back to the room to get their swords. Although Damar. He's still standing there. Indira looked strangely at the elder brother.
" Kang Damar what's wrong? Why not take the sword."
" Uncle, auntie, can you get me an ordinary sword?"
" You're talking opi to le. Where's your sword going?"
" I'll save Uncle Mahesa. I only remember the message of Romo to be careful in showing the sword pitu. That's why I kept it."
They still did not understand what Damar said. Then Damar showed me where the sword was. Of course everyone was stunned to see it. Mahesa, Lingga, and Wardani understand. Finally Lingga gave his spare sword to be used by Damar.
Everything is ready now. Wardani and Indira can only deliver to the door of the inn. The Indira who had been given understanding finally understood. He did not want to make it difficult and bother his uncle and aunt.
Damar with his friend and his two uncle teachers headed to the Duchy. This morning we will have the opening ceremony. All the leaders of the yamg paddokan who participated in the race will be present to join the opening.
" Come on, who's gonna represent uncle?" ask Damar curiously.
" There, we'll see" Mahesa replied.
Everyone is ready in the yard. Each paddle lined up according to his group. The Duke of Ranawijaya stood in front and began to speak. He spoke again about the rules they already knew. But here the Duke reiterated, if anyone violates the rules then they will be excluded from the match. Not only the breaking but one padepokan must be issued.
" Okay, I hope everyone understands. With this big student match at a young age I declare the beginning."
Goooong
Goooong
Goooong
A gong is struck three times symbolizing the match starting. All the leaders of the padepokan stood clapping and saluting Duke Ranawijaya. They also did a handshake to the Duke of the Duchy of Gendingan.
" Lah uncle, it's not Ki Wibawa who became our coachman yesterday?"
" Yes you're right. Just so you know. Ki Wibawa is Bopo Guru's right-hand man. He has amazing canuragan skills as well."
Of course, all the disciples were surprised to hear Mahesa's words. They really don't know about it. It was only fitting that Ki Wibawa had an aura like no ordinary person.
After the opening ceremony is over. They also called the Arena. Not one by one their appearance will be in value. Yet all five disciples at once would show their martial arts.
" Alright, the rules in this first round are martial arts. Each shot will instantly show your abilities. And this time a warrior of the Astina kingdom's warlord will act as an appraiser. This is Knight Yasapati."
Everyone applauded. They really did not expect a royal warlord to be present there as an appraiser. Everyone was so excited to show their best.
" My name is Yasapati, it is an honor to see the ability of talented children like you. Let's start this first round."
