Devil Boy And Angel Girl
Epsu 26. A Win for Erick

After hearing the explanation from Caera, the atmosphere between Erick, Navya, and Caera became silent for a while.

There was no conversation between the three of them, until Caera finally caught a wet Erick who kept glancing towards Navya.

"Navya knows everything!" caera exclaimed followed by slightly turning her lips to point at Navya, as Caera was lazily using her hand.

Hearing Caera's words, Erick again rounded his eyes, whether this was how many times he was shocked today. "Huh? Since when?" erick said, then quickly he faced Navya.

Navya smiled, then as her body was slightly shorter than Erick, Navya raised her head so that their eyes could meet. "On the day of the test results, after you left me on the basketball court, Caera came and took me to the library. There Caera told me everything, and then asked me for help, to come help you so Rayn wouldn't be evil to you anymore."

Without needing to be asked, Navya explained the question that emerged from the look on Erick's face that was now staring at him.

Erick was fixated for a moment, he raised one of his eyebrows, "Is this the reason he left in the final round?" erick asked, and Caera nodded.

Seeing Navya's response, Erick is made more difficult to speak. "But why? Why do you want to help me get to it? We're not even that close. Isn't every race important?" Erick spoke in a firm tone.

Right now, the Sky Bruiser gang leader was thinking with a single sentence he had heard before, a remark he heard as he drove Navya home.

Erick was still not sure who said the sentence, but he was sure that it was addressed to Navya.

"Value and achievement." That's the whole point of what Erick heard, the night after he and Navya came from the police station.

For some reason, now Erick is worried, he is worried that Navya will be scolded again if he does not win the smart game.

However, while worry is running through him, Navya's warm smile makes Erick inexhaustible. "How can he be this calm?!" erick muttered in his heart.

"Because we're friends, Erick! There is no need for a reason to help a friend. After all, I've been too often intelligent meticulous, bored to know! If you win it will only represent the school at the city level," said Navya Si Angel Girl with a smile that expands, as well as a slightly arrogant tone.

Navya's speech this time, able to make Erick who had been looking cold, became like a different person. "Haha ... So arrogant!" Erick laughed so loosely.

That laugh, this was the first time Navya had seen Erick laughing like that. Erick laughed like all his weight had been gone all along. Or maybe a little less.

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

Not noticeably, 1 hour after the last round on a meticulously intelligent match had passed quickly. Now is the time for the announcement of the Champion, on the smart race of the Jaya Sakti High School in this year's education week.

Of the supposed 3 candidates, now there are only two candidates who will advance as champions. Because one more candidate, Navya, has resigned.

At least this time Erick already knows what the reason Navya resigned, it's all because he wants Erick and Rayn to compete alone. For Erick to feel very satisfied, and also for Erick to advance to the city level.

Erick, Navya, and Caera sat in the back row, and the three of them did it to get away from Rayn who was sitting in the middle row.

"Erick, you don't have to worry. Anyway, if Rayn is announced as the winner, I'll go ahead and expose all the cheating she's done" Navya said in a quiet voice, so that others can't hear her.

Erick nodded, "Thank you!" his reply.

Tuk ... Tuk ... Tuk ...

Two people from the broadcaster team, Johan and Anisa, are now standing on stage. The two of them smiled before starting to greet everyone present within the hall.

"Good day everyone!" anisa exclaimed with so much excitement. "How, how? Is anyone already impatient with the outcome of a meticulously intelligent match?" continued.

Everyone cheered, "Yes!"

"Wav ... It seems like everyone is waiting in Jo, so let's quickly announce Johan!" Anisa spoke while nudging the body of Johan standing beside her.

"Haha ... Okay, Anisa and everyone else here. After a long wait, finally the results of the main race on this educational week will come out, yes!"

"All participants have done their best, all of them are the best among the best. But this time, we'll know who the Champion is among the best people."

"Of the many acts that have been done, finally there is this one person. Our Champion, so let's welcome him immediately ...."

Johan spoke so excitedly, just like Anisa. Then in his last words, he slightly hung up his sentence, making the atmosphere so tense. Both the audience, as well as Erick and Rayn, everyone was very tense at the moment.

Johan was silent for a while, and after seeing the faces of everyone who was already very impatient, Johan finally resumed his sentence.

"And here he is, our genius Champion! Erick Brady Aditya!" jehan shouted, Johan's voice rumbled to every corner of the room.

The tense atmosphere, now becoming so frenzied, everyone had different expressions upon hearing the results.

Some are happy, some are in disbelief, some are upset, some are disappointed, and many more.

Rayn, she became an annoyed and incredulous person, "B–how could it be? You've already me—" Rayn really can't believe this result, she didn't expect that she lost despite cheating.

On the other hand, Navya and Caera look so happy, so happy, when the name Erick mentioned they both jumped.

"For our Champion Erick, please step on stage!" anisa is very enthusiastic.

But the summoned man was still silently fixated, the two female friends who were by his side were also aware of it.

"You Are the Genius! Don't celebrate victory just by staying here! You're the star now!" caera said with great pride.

"Really! Even though Rayn has been cheating, but you can still beat her, it's amazing! Rayn already knew some of the things that would be given to her. He has also traded you for a very difficult problem, but you can solve it perfectly!" navya is proud too.

"You're a real genius, Erick!" Navya and Caera spoke simultaneously, it made Erick smile a little.

Everyone who saw Navya and Caera were made to laugh, the two women's behavior was really very funny.

"I didn't know Navya and Caera were that close to Erick!" whispered one of the students to his friend. "You're right, they're so familiar!" reply friend.

Pprockkk ... Pprockkk ... Pprockkk ...

A thunderous applause began to sound, Erick finally began to step forward onto the stage. His steps were accompanied by all the clapping sounds, and also the lively cheers.
