The Eternal War Kasarewang
Race (4)

Harsa's mouth was rumbling while in his mind he memorized the contents of the second grade module. One week back, Harsa did the same. An hour after this, he, Elis, and Gina would start a meticulous intelligent match at one of their city universities. The three of them had arrived at the university hall of the race since two hours ago. After the re-list, the three of them were studying in the audience seats, trying to review as much of the subject matter of their respective sections as possible.

“Not started yet, I'm tired.” Complain Gina.

“Should fifteen ni again start.” Elis said while looking at his watch anxiously. His feet did not stop moving. “Already yes. We don't have to win, do we? Just do your best.”

Harsa could not hold back her laughter. “You yourself want the gift.”

“Iya, dong. Who wouldn't want twelve million?”

“Four days later in for three.” Gina reminded.  “That's also if we can champion one.”

“Ya, champion three was llumayan, kok.” Harsa. “One million for each person.”

“Remember, later trophies for school, yes.” Said Mr. Yono in the back. “Do not disappoint the school, yes. Kaliaan two, three, that is. Especially you, Sa. It's an opportunity to prove that you're not a punk for fighting.”

“Iya, sir.” Harsa said he was not excited. He did not feel comfortable because he was considered stubborn by teachers and third-graders since the incident he ‘defended’ from the attacks of third-grade children. However, Harsa had already given up on refining her image.

They are competing with teams from other schools. The first race was not too difficult. Their hard work is sweet. A win in the first phase took them to the semi-finals.

“Wah, I did not expect to be able to escape!!” Gina said with relief.

“Do not let your guard down. We have to fight one more team to get to the final. Then, have to fight one more in the final.”

“Honest, don't be too tired.” Complain Gina. “It should all be not done in one day.”

After Istiarahat for an hour, they enter the semi-final stage. At that stage, more people were watching their race. The room without feeling hotter. Harsa's brain is working hard. The two teams took turns snatching answers from each other. Each time the opposing team answers the question correctly, the Harsa team scores below them. However, every time Harsa's team answered, Harsa's team's score came back on top.

Elis wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Can we win?”

“Hey, stay focused.” Harsa reminded. “Do not press.”

Elis nodded, then refocused on their race. Elis was almost in disbelief when they made it into the final round with only ten scores higher than the opposing team. Elis could not help but sit limply hearing that they had finally advanced to the final.

“Wow.” Said Elis sitting down. “I didn't expect we'd make it to the final.”

“YES! Yes!” Turning around with Elis, Gina cheered happily. “Lha, kok lemes, we will win.”

“Honestly, I'm lemes for thinking on.” Harsa. “And I can't bekaya we still have to race one more time.” Harsa sat down too.

“Plus, in the final to win must be even harder.”

They were given Ishoma an hour and a half to rest. The spectators went from the hall to forage for food. Turning from the other spectators, Barasa came to their front and asked. “Wah, so cool guys!”

“Belasa!!” Elis shouted in delight and immediately stood up in spirit. “I don't think you're coming!”

“Hehe, come, dong! Sorry I am also late because I have to help grandfather and mother first.”

“Yes, gapapa, really. This race is all day.” Harsa said with a big smile. “Still, you know, it's come.”

“Hehe, don't thank me just yet. Here, instead I bring food.” He said while giving a box of cribs containing rice and fried chicken. “So you don't need to find food anymore.”

“Yes, geez. Thank you, Sa! Pak Yono did not even give us food.” Gina said as she picked up and handed out the box box. “That's why we're spastic.”

After eating together, the energies of Elis, Harsa, and Gina return. Then the question and answer race began. This time, Elis was more than happy to see Barasa watching the race with Pak Yono in the front row. In the midst of such a serious race, Barasa could not shout encouragingly to his school team. Instead, he always smiled, and gave two thumbs up to them.

“Yuk, guys. We take twelve million of it.” Gina encouraged Harsa and Elis.

“Hahaha, amen.” Reply Harsa.

After the add-ons began to stand on the stage of the hall, in the middle of the two team tables. He started asking questions. Every time he asked a question, Harsa's chest would explode. Her heart was beating so fast, but Harsa did not notice it because she was trying to keep her concentration level that had started to decline.

As Elis had guessed, the questions given were increasingly specific and difficult to answer. From the beginning, questions about the term and the names of inventors in the field of biology until now questions that need to be pondered before answered. After a few questions, they found the number of points their team was left behind thinly from the opposing team. The opposing team had already reached two hundred and twenty-five points. While their team got two hundred and twenty points. Each time the answer is correct, they get ten points. If they incorrectly answer the question, their points will be deducted five points.

“Daddy from Dino has blood type A. Meanwhile, Dino's mother has blood type AB. What blood types can Dino have?”

Teee!! “A, AB, and B!” Answer the opposing team quickly.

“Ten points for Team one!”

Elis patted Harsa on the shoulder. “Nggap anything. We can still pursue. There are still two more questions.”

Harsa nodded. “But that means we have to correctly answer those two questions.”

“Last second question!” The moderator starts to open the second question. “The name of healthy bacteria present in the intestine is..”.

Teee!! “Lactobacillus Casei!!” Shouted Gina without a second thought.

“Really!! Ten points for team B!!”

“Yess!!” The three of them cheered.

“Lucky I memorized dead.” Gina said while patting her chest.

“Still, Gin!” Harsa.

“Last inquiry!!”

“One dog breed can have black, black brown, brown, and white colors. One dog has a black brown fur color with a phenotype of HhCc. He mated with another dog of the same color and the same phenotype. How likely is it that the puppy has a black color?”

Both teams thought for a moment before answering.

“Teeett!!” Elis pressed the answer button with cold sweat on her hands.

“Ya, please directly replied team two.” Surung the moderator.

“Three?” Elis was doubtful.

“The answer is…..! Aye!! Three!! Ten points for team two! With the answer it was over this race! Team two won the race by a thin once!! Only five points difference!”

The surviving spectators immediately clapped for them.

Gina, Elis, and Harsa fell silent before cheering happily. “Yeayy!! Yeayy!!”

“Luckily I didn't count!!” Said Elis pleased.

“Yes, jeez is very good Lis. Are you sure you really don't want to go to medicine?!” Temptation Harsa while laughing.

Ignoring Harsa's words, Gina exclaimed. “We have to play this guys!! Play up! Main!”

When they turned around from the stage, Barasa was ready to greet them with congratulations. “Woah, steady guys! So steady!! Congratulations to you!”

Without a second thought, Elis hugged Barasa. “Still, Bar!! Thanks lohh!!”

Awfully, Barasa hugged her back. “Hehe, you've worked hard anyway.” Unaware, for a moment, Harsa's Happy gaze turned to surprise.
