Devil Boy And Angel Girl
22 Eps. The Big 3

The second preliminary round of round two was about to begin, the five participants who had managed to qualify were already standing behind their respective tables.

If in the previous round they raised their hand when they wanted to answer the question, then this time they only needed to press the red button on their table.

This is done because the competition is getting more fierce, where there will be a greater possibility for the participants to raise their hands together. So, in order not to make a mistake in determining who first, then the method of pressing the bell is considered the best. After all, at every Olympic event, that method is used.

"In the second round of this round, the judges will immediately give 10 questions, with 4 math problems, 2 English questions, 2 historical questions, and 2 Indonesian questions."

"Please press the bell button on your table, when the matter is read. If you press the bell when the question has not been read, then you still have to answer the question."

"Each participant will be given an initial point of 100 points, if wrong it will be deducted 20, and if true it will be added 50. When one participant answers wrong, the other participant can immediately press the bell and answer. Then, the matter will be declared invalid, when it has been answered three times but not yet true."

The committee in charge of the intelligent match was meticulous, explaining at length about the procedures, and the rules of the second round preliminary round.

After the five and those who managed to survive until this round gave a response sign they understood, the committee also allowed the judges to take over from now on.

Without waiting any longer, when it is welcome, Pak Wahyu—juri one—l immediately read the first question.

"Know xy+2x+y \= 10 with x and y positive integers. The minimum value of x + y is..," said Pak Wahyu read the first question in a loud voice.

In just less than 15 seconds, all the bells belonging to the five participants rang. However, only the bell button that is pressed first will emit red light.

From the five buttons of the bell, it can be seen that belongs to Caera who gives off light.

"Please!" exclaim Pak Wahyu with gesture of his hand which is also welcome.

"4!" In a big voice, Caera answered the first question. Shortly after, Pak Wahyu said that the answer from Caera was correct, and the next question was read again.

"Right or wrong, who prepared the ropes and flagpoles in preparation for the Indonesian proclamation was Wilopo? Include the reason!" This time Pak Wayan—the thirdjuri—who read about the second in the match.

Tttiiittt ... !!

3 The bell button is pressed in the adjacent time, and from the three buttons, Navya's button is the one that glows.

"Wrongly, because Wilopo prepared the microphone and also the loudspeakers in preparation for the proclamation of independence. While the one who prepared the rope and the flagpole was Soediro." When Pak Wayan had invited Navya to answer, the woman also answered the matter accompanied by detailed reasons.

After a few seconds, Mr. Wayan stated that Navya's answer was right. So Navya gets 50 points.

......................

On this last issue, the one reading about is the only female jury. Buk Inayah, Indonesian teacher who is known so firmly.

"Diction in literary writing has meaning?" said Buk Inayah reading about the latter, with Indonesian subjects.

When the problem is finished, Erick and Rayn press the button in the same second, and only different in the centisecond. As a result, the bell button belongs to Rayn who lights up, because he is faster a few centiseconds compared to Erick.

"Please answer!" buk Inayah cried with a firm voice.

Rayn paused for a moment, for some reason she suddenly felt scum, "Optional ... Language?" With hesitation, Rayn answered the question.

"Wrong! 20 Points reduction!" Buk Inayah quickly stated that the answer Rayn had said was wrong. Then at almost the same time, Erick again pressed his bell button. "Please!" buk Inayah.

"Say selection!" Without hesitation and with so much confidence, Erick answered that last question.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, until finally Buk Inayah stated loudly, that Erick answered correctly. "50 Points for Erick!" buk Inayah.

With one sentence, then the smart second round is officially completed. The three escaped participants cheered cheerfully, followed by the sound of a standing ovation from the audience. Meanwhile, the two people who already knew their points lost to the other three people, felt so sad. But, of course their sadness did not last long, because losing and winning were commonplace.

After all, the rival of the two losers, was the 3 people with the best value in the class to date.

"All right, as we can all see, the 3 people who managed to advance to the final round were Navya with 230 points, Erick with 210 points, and Rayn with 180 points. For other participants, never be discouraged, because you are still great!" said the responsibility committee that took over again.

"For the last round, the three-man match that has passed until now, will be held tomorrow, at 8 am!" the committee continued, providing a little short but important information.

After the information was given, both the discerning participants meticulously as well as the spectators, one after another began to leave the school hall.

"Damn! Why did I fail to focus on the last thing! I should have been in position one with 250 points if I answered correctly earlier!" said the Third Position in the second round, with a tone that sounded very upset.

Amidst his frustration, Rayn accidentally sees Caera alone, with no Navya nearby. Seeing that, an evil plan appeared in the head of the man who always pretended to be good in front of the crowd.

Rayn slowly stepped out to approach Caera who was alone.

"Caera!" rayn said hello, Caera immediately turned her head, looking at the man who had greeted her.

"Rayn?" caera muttered confusedly, "What's wrong?" he continued asking with one of his slightly raised eyebrows. But Rayn kept quiet and did not answer Caera's question.

After a while, instead of answering the question from the woman he greeted earlier, this man even pulled the woman's hand to go somewhere, this of course made Caera become more confused.
