”Lorr, I support you!” a disciple lined up and shouted at him.
”Purwa! How's this?” Lorr En threw a frightened smile towards him that disciple who was none other than Purwa.
”The sooner the fun, I've proven it! My score is 5 black values!” exclaim him again. That number made him cringe.
”Don't forget! The faster the fun!!” purwa yelled once more before sinking into the footsteps of the students along the edge of the starting line.
While Taja and Kancil class students docked to the edge of the lane to watch their friends.
Lorr En entered the race track. The moment the crossbar opened, the biggest black horse in position 7 was ready there for him. Coincidentally in the sixth position is Purwa, it turns out he also got the same turn. The two passed by briefly.
Lorr En noticed a dark horse in front of him, when compared to the other one, this one was the biggest.
”Lucky, you got a royal horse!” purwa's cry was muffled by the whistling noise of the students watching from the edge of the starting line fenced in iron bars. Most others, throw cheers from the right and left stands of the audience area.
”Kuda kingdom?” Lorr En captured the clear call of Purwa on the next lane which only separated the bars as a barrier divider of each lane. All the participants started riding on each other's backs, except Lorr En was still confused.
Small Purwa is already on his horse saddle, ”Use his footing to ride!” exclaim Purwa to just set an example to him like other participants did.
Lorr En quite understood, he followed as Purwa had said.
Hup!
It was a little hard, finally Lorr En was now on the horse's back. This was his first time riding a horse, as it made him nervous. Moreover, the dark horse on board moved, he became frightened. Every now and then he looked at the audience, Taja and his fellow team-mates shouted from there.
”Horse Race is starting soon! Get ready!!!” the first referee called. Fifteen participants put up a swing.
”Start after the count of three!!!”
The tension of all the spectators shifted the boisterous atmosphere into somewhat silence.
”One ... two ... three ..!” right at the last count, the lane door opened and all the horse rides immediately took off the stables. The clattering of the horse's legs ran as fast as they could to the front. The crowd cheers back up.
Initially, Lorr En led in the lead because he was lucky to get the fastest and superior horse turn, but whatever the result will depend on his own ability. And it was a pity that Lorr En had never had the experience of riding, so the faster the horse carried him running, making him even more unable to control it. The bridle detached causing Lorr En's body to shake violently, when passing the bend he was thrown down.
Bugh ...!
The harsh lashing into the dusty ground made him unconscious.
A gentle breeze blew freshly between the window grilles of the treatment ward. There are some patients there who are being visited by their friends. While in a quiet bed, Lorr En sat pensively, thinking of the incident that almost killed him.
”Huh ...,” his sigh mixed in pain feeling his forehead and clad arms. Not long into solitude, the two long-awaited people finally came.
”How are you doing, Lorr En?” sapa Taja accompanied Purwa who was behind Lorr En.
Lorr Endi his bed looked limp, ”Sick once ...,” groaned him to so many times in his loneliness before they came, ”The sooner the more fun what? If I knew it was going to be like this, I wouldn't want to ride!” lorr En's scowl at Purwa decorated his pale face.
”I know what happened to you isn't as smooth as I am. Maybe because it's the first time you've touched a horse. Should have told the coach if you could not ride that day, then they would not have forced either,” Anjur Purwa even though it was no longer useful, anyway...Lorr En was currently lying ill.
”Where have you been?” ask Lorr En.
”Not anywhere, since yesterday we have never left you. It's just, this afternoon I have to redeem the prescription to the drug warehouse because your medicine supply is almost exhausted,” explained Taja.
”Then, how about my grades?” lorr En asked turning to Taja.
”Sorry, your grades are empty for riding,” Taja's answer makes him moody and a little upset. Taja handed over Lorr En's green book.
”What?! It hurts, empty values too!”
Lorr En opens a daily report with a dark green cover. Inside, dozens of yellow sheets are still plastered with empty boxes every page.
”But we are still lucky to get white marks on the weapons assembly lesson the other day, at least ..”
”What? White?!” Lorr En interrupted before Taja finished speaking. Surprised to hear his friend allude to the value of white.
”At the very least..we have got the value,” Taja continued.
”We're the same!” exclaim Taja lightly. Lorr En was very disappointed to see the white mark on one of the weapons assembly lesson boxes. He also shook his head. Instead Taja smiled widely.
”You're happy to get a white score?”
”Price..it's our best effort,”
”Then...how about your riding value?” lorr En asked turning to the lesson.
”empty. So we are in series!” She smiled again, but a little bitter.
”Why can that be?” Lorr En astonished.
”Mmm .. He was willing to leave the lesson because he had to take care of you until the afternoon,” Purwa answered this time.
”You bounced to tens of feet from the horse. Indeed the horse continued to run, but you were thrown far to the edge of the track. After the coach brought you here, Purwa and I took care of you all night. So, forced me to leave riding training that day,” explained Taja considering the incident.
”Sorry, I caused your grades to go blank,” Lorr Be sad.
”No problem, next time I can take another riding exam.”
”And you, Purwa ... how about the healer school and your grades?”
”I am a beginner, red grades for riding, black grades for understanding science and also there are white grades for the other three lessons like science, counting and dosage measures, etc,” Purwa shrug signifies that he has got his alakadar.
”Pretty good. Turns out, you can be better than us. Sorry, that time.I did not intend to insult you,” Lorr En praised as well as remembered the incident when he accidentally mocked her.
”Not a problem, I've forgotten that anyway. I don't know. I also do not understand about myself, it is true that this is what I am, but the obvious origins and uncertainties. Though I am a human being, but there is nothing I 'understand besides my ape-like self,” Purwa touched his two cheeks.
””Sst .. don't say like. Come here ...,” Taja thrust one right hand at Purwa who is standing in front of the window. Purwa grabbed the soft hands of Taja and Lorr En and greeted their warm sentences, ”You are our best friend.”
”If I hear someone mocking you again like that, then I stay silent, even though Lorr En will do it,”
”Yes, remind me to hit myself if you dare to make fun of yourself ...”
Purwa and Taja lead quickly to Lorr En. The Toad Fairy was silent at once.
