Opening Ceremony of Kadewaguruan Academy
Empu Supo Madrangi looked at Heru Cokro, greeted him warmly and said with a smile: “How can Your Majesty come to the workshop today?”
Empu Supo Madrangi was undoubtedly confident in facing Heru Cokro who was a ruler, his etiquette was not too humble with the right scale. Unlike Ghusun, De Chandra and others, when seeing Heru Cokro, just like a rabbit who sees the king of the forest.
Heru Cokro quite liked this relaxed atmosphere, laughed and said: “Since the establishment of the weapons workshop, I have not come to see it. How, can I have a look?”
Empu Supo Madrangi nodded, heard Heru Cokro's request and said: “In a few days, the weapons workshop has not been operational because there are no personnel. I plan to recruit four to five apprentices, in order to be able to immediately operate the weapon workshop. In addition, say has also considered backup personnel to forge large-scale weapons in the future.”
“Yeah, your idea was right. When compared to other workshops, the workload of the weapon workshop in the future will be very heavy. As the saying goes, it is better to have an umbrella before it rains. So be sure to get ready early.” Heru Cokro said with relief. It seems that this time he chose Empu Supo Madrangi as the manager of the weapon workshop was indeed very correct. This advanced blacksmith is not only technically sound, but also has a mature mind.
“Currently, the weapon workshop can only make simple weapons such as iron swords and spears. As for complex weapons such as armor, it requires relevant technical guidance.” The Empu Supo Madrangi.
Heru Cokro nodded, the technology of armor forging has always been very much kept secret by the government. You can only master the technology if you stay in the official workshop established. Once you enter the official workshop, you will not be able to leave easily for the sake of maintaining confidentiality.
Therefore, Heru Cokro was not surprised by the technical problems of Empu Supo Madrangi. He said with a smile: “As regards this there is no need to rush, I have already considered it. At most, within two months, there will definitely be good results.”
Empu Supo Madrangi was pleased to hear it, saying: “With certainty from His Majesty, I feel more motivated. I will also train interns well in this period.”
Seeing the excitement of Empu Supo Madrangi, Heru Cokro smiled. After all that needed to be said was enough, he was not delayed for long and resigned himself.
The last stop, Heru Cokro chose the Kadewaguruan Academy. As for the basic pottery workshop, it was too late to visit, as this was already in the afternoon. In addition, the building is located outside the territory. So you can only wait until the next time to visit it.
The Kadewaguruan Academy was created next to a private school. The room was not large, comparable to the space of Dhruwa Shrine.
The academy was divided into two front and back courtyards. The front yard is where students go to classes consisting of four classrooms. In the courtyard in the middle, several trees were planted to shelter the students from the scorching heat of the sun. There is a special kitchen in the backyard that is used for students to eat. In addition, there were also four bedrooms for the academy's teachers and their families to rest in.
The entire academy was very quiet because the education had yet to begin. Heru Cokro stepped into the main entrance, passed through the front hall and headed straight for the backyard.
In the backyard, Mr. Ainun Najib casually leaned against the stone board, reading the ancient book attentively. Looking at the man who was reading the book, Heru Cokro did not rush to disturb him, just stood still and waited. Unexpectedly, 25 minutes had passed, the man had not intended to make a move. So with forced Heru Cokro can only cough to show its existence.
Mr. Ainun Najib looked up, saw Heru Cokro, put down the book in a hurry, respectfully said: “Ainun Najib greets His Majesty.”
Heru Cokro nodded, smiled and said: “Are you comfortable staying in the academy?”
“Mr Ainun Najib, absolutely enviable.” Heru Cokro was very praised and said: “Esok day, the academy will officially start, how do you think Mr Ainun?”
“It is only natural that Mr. Kawis Guwa gives this kind of arrangement” Ainun Najib said lightly.
Heru Cokro nodded. It seems like Mr. Ainun Najib really wants to stay away from official posts. He had repeatedly tried to persuade her and was still not tempted. So, after some chatter, Heru Cokro resigned and returned.
The next morning, Heru Cokro came to Kadewaguruan Academy again to attend the opening ceremony.
The ceremony took place in the largest classroom located in the front yard. On stage, Heru Cokro, Kawis Guwa, Siti Fatimah, Ainun Najib, and Notonegoro sat in turns.
While below the stage, the first batch of students sat in neat rows. Among the trainees, there are old students like Joyonegoro and Andika who have graduated from literacy classes. There are also new students who attend education for the first time.
New students fall into two categories. The first category is the clerks who have been recommended by the division, and the other is the Javanese population of Dwipa.
The ceremony was started by Kawis Guwa. In the opening speech, he outlined the mission of the Kadewaguruan Academy and the ideas in its application, clarifying the rules and regulations of the academy, as well as the methods of the academy's management.
“I know that the majority of you who are here are paid to learn. But what I want to say is that when you have entered the academy, you have to forget about your status and position. No matter who you are, whatever you are, however you are, as long as you have come to the academy, then the status you have is only one, namely Kadewaguruan Academy students. Learning is your only job. In the academy, it is strictly forbidden to make certain groups, nor is it permissible to invite other students to drink. You must learn to respect the teacher and strictly forbid disrespectful behavior towards the teacher. If a violation is found, it will be immediately expelled. “Kawis Guwa's words firmly.
After Kawis Guwa was finished, the teachers of each class gave speeches in turn. In addition to her own responsibilities, teaching a branch class of political affairs, there was also Siti Fatimah who was responsible for the math class, Ainun Najib was responsible for the cultivation class, and the, as well as Heru Cokro responsible for the class of judicial literacy.
Notonegoro was appointed as temporary teacher, responsible for the daily learning activities of the academy, supervisor of the daily learning of the academy as well as the management of student disciplines.
The teacher finished his speech, Joyonegoro was chosen as an outstanding student. Because he managed to win the final exam of literacy class and was selected as an outstanding student.
Joyonegoro was clearly ready, took the script out of his hands, and said: “To the teachers, classmates, and all who are here! I'm Joyonegoro, feeling lucky enough to be selected as an outstanding student. Today is a proud day! I can't help but think that ten days ago in literacy class. Your Majesty has given us a lot of advice.”
“At that time, I was illiterate! His Majesty told us that rights are responsibilities. If you want to go further, you have to create a strong foundation. Ten days passed, after going through literacy class baptism, I was able to write this script thanks to the help of Ki Hajar Dewantara. It's really an unimaginable thing, but now I've done it. I feel very fortunate to be able to sit here again, listening to His Majesty's teaching. I end it, thank you!”
Warm applause sounded. Even Heru Cokro did not expect that Joyonegoro would be able to write such a script. Then he made a simple summary, as well as the closing of the opening ceremony.
