Cross Puzzle

Welcome to the first mission of the deciding night. In front of you are five bottles, each containing six hundred milliliters of milk. Your job is to finish all the milk with the rule of one person drinking one bottle. The milk must be exhausted without a single drop remaining.

It was the first mission assignment presentation written on the language majors' board. Currently, Sairish and her group friends are in the area of the department. Five bottles of milk had been provided at a table in front of the mading board to be drunk by Sairish and her group of friends.

"So, our first mission was to drink only this milk?" asked Noah in a confused tone.

"What a very non-challenging mission," Liam commented in an arrogant tone.

"really. I think this night determination mission will be very difficult. It's so easy." Olivia commented.

"Come, let's just start drinking the milk. Remember, one man took one bottle," said Genta, the chairman of the group to command Sairish and the others.

Sairish and her group of friends each began to take one bottle of milk. They also started drinking it. At the first gulp, the five of them instantly felt an overwhelming nausea that very second.

"Damn it! What milk is this? This milk makes me nauseous" asked Liam while cursing.

"The milk is bad! What milk is this?" ask Noah too.

"It's goat's milk. I once drank this milk. But as I recall the taste of goat milk is not as bad as this," replied Olivia.

"It looks like this is goat milk that has not been processed at all," explained Genta.

Sairish and her group of friends returned nauseous knowing that fact.

"So how do we spend it?" liam asked with a frustrated face.

"What if we just cheat. We're throwing this milk away. But then we'll tell the committee if we've spent it. No one will see" replied Olivia giving a sneaky idea.

"It doesn't seem like a good idea. Above us now there's a CCTV camera thing."

Sairish who had been silent since then began to make a sound while showing CCTV cameras on the wall above the board to her group friends.

The four of them looked at the CCTV camera that Sairish was pointing at and they immediately groaned in frustration.

"We had to spend this milk," Genta finally broke up as chairman.

"Gue regretted ridiculing this mission earlier," Liam said.

"Sama" said Olivia.

Sairish and her friends started drinking their goat milk back. They will have to spend it. Every sip when they try to spend the goat's milk is always interspersed with nausea and nausea activities. It took them half an hour until the five of them finally managed to finish off one bottle of goat milk each. Their first mission was completed.

"Come, let's find where our second mission is!" take Genta to Sairish and the others.

"Where's the second mission, Gen?" ask Olivia.

Genta looked at the map and replied, "Our second mission is in the canteen."

***

Sairish and her group of friends have arrived at the school cafeteria now. They began to split up in search of a second mission in the area. It had been almost half an hour they searched but the mission was very difficult for them to find.

"Meet no?" genta shouted loudly asking for answers from his group members.

"Yet, Gen," replied Sairish and the other members simultaneously.

Sairish sees the confused and frustrated look of her group friends who are tired of looking for a second mission. Sairish felt the same way as they do now. In his heart Sairish kept wondering where the organizers hid the second mission in the cafeteria area.

Until a neat piece of paper inside a cafeteria facility distracts Sairish. Sairish was confused why people could throw the paper into the canteen facility.

Sairish reached for the paper and looked at the contents. He began to read the writings on the paper.

Welcome to the second mission of the deciding night. The paper you are holding right now contains five crossword puzzles you need to work on. After you've finished working on it, bring this paper to give to the committee as proof of having done the second mission.

Sairish's eyes rounded after reading the writing. The paper he found was not just any paper. This paper turned out to be the paper that Sairish and her group of friends had been looking for since. This paper contains their second mission. Sairish immediately told her group friends.

"I've found our second mission!" sairish said to the four of them. Sairish's group of friends came straight to Sairish.

"Where did you find him, Sairish?" asked Noah curiously.

"I found it in the garbage can" replied Sairish.

It turned out that the cafeteria facility that Sairish was referring to was a canteen trash can. The fact that Sairish said also made his group friends immediately annoyed the organizers.

"A mission paper was delayed in a garbage can? There was a lack of work for the committee!" emotion Liam.

"Easy-after. Not much drama. We don't have much time. Do not let group two finish early because we have too much drama as now" said Genta orderly group.

Sairish and her group of friends began working on their second mission which was to fill out five crossword puzzles presented in a piece of paper.

"Gue will read the problem, then Olivia will write the answer on the paper. For the answer to the riddle we solve together. Understood?" genta Command.

"Understand, chief!" answer Sairish and the others simultaneously.

"The first question is horizontal. It consists of seven boxes. What is the unit of intensity of light?" Genta read the first question.

"The answer is Candela!" liam replied quickly.

Olivia immediately wrote down Liam's answer to the first six boxes of crossword puzzles.

"Good work, Liam," Genta told Liam and he began reading the next question.

"The second question is down. It consists of ten boxes. The problem is that A squared plus B squared is equal to C squared. What formula is that?"

"That's the formula of Pythagoras."

This time it was Sairish who answered the question. Olivia started writing Sairish's answer.

"The third question is horizontal. It consists of four boxes. The thing is, a small structure that can't be divided is called?"

"The answer is Atom!" Noah answered quickly.

"Kok the crossword puzzle is so easy, huh?" ask Liam astonished.

"It's easy, because the difficult thing is to find the mission paper as before" replied Noah.

"The fourth question is down. It consists of four boxes. What is the name of the virus that causes Covid-19?"

"Corona! Oh, my God, I'm so smart!" tekik Olivia was excited because she managed to answer the fourth question.

"The SD kids can also answer that question" Liam said.

"Shut up, Liam! You brat!" angry Olivia.

"Not quarrel. Get ready well, I'll read you the last question of this crossword puzzle." Genta tells Liam and Olivia to be orderly. He began to read the last question.

"The fifth question is horizontal. It consists of five boxes. You are something that is not visible, but around us and has been proven to exist. Was it?"

Sairish and her group of friends were confused by the last question just now.

"What question is that? It doesn't seem like a question of science," confounded Liam.

"Gue knows. Ghost's answer!" noah said with a confident tone.

"Is that really the answer?" hesitates for Olivia to write Noah's answer.

"Looks right. The answer box has five. And that matched Noah's answer just now" Sairish replied.

Olivia started writing ghostly answers from Hugo just now. However, after the ghost's answer was finished being written by Olivia, all the lighting in Hope High School suddenly went out. The school was surrounded by darkness.
