Unlike what Austin thought, Karp and Kona didn't do anything they liked in the room, and although the two of them were naturally lying on the double bed, there was no story of the beast being inferior to the beast.

Karp was not as wooden as Austin imagined, and Kona was not as cold as Austin's thoughts, but Karp knew that Kona was not ready to decide everything now, and he also needed to take time to think about how to express this emotion, so the two just lay silently, looking at the ceiling above their heads while chatting without saying a word after turning off the lights.

If it had been before, maybe they were still talking about Kona and the Final Trial at this time, but now Kona doesn't think about these things, and the topic falls on Karp.

"Karp, why did you come to Ourudron City for the celebration of the Bodao Brave?"

"In order to become the hero of this waveguide."

Kona turned around after hearing Karp's answer and looked at him, the two of them were so close at the moment that Karp could even feel the temperature from Kona, but compared to this, he also knew that his answer did not relieve Kona's doubts.

She didn't ask again, because she knew that Karp would say what he wanted to, and Kona wouldn't ask if he didn't want to.

"It was a time before Poké Balls......"

Karp didn't have much to hide about Bird Brave and Lucario, so after feeling Kona's actions, he opened his mouth to tell Kona the story of Bird Brave.

“…… So that's why I wanted to be this one of the Bird Heroes, to release that Lucario and solve the misunderstanding between him and the Wave Guides Heroes. ”

At this point, Karp stopped, for he could feel the sound of steady breathing coming from his side, and Kona was clearly asleep.

If in the face of strangers, maybe when the other party is talking about something, Kona will recognize it even if he is sleepy and tired, and will only say good night euphemistically after listening, but in the face of Karp's words, she is obviously more free and casual, this is the tacit understanding and relationship mode that the two are currently maintaining.

Karp also turned to the side at this time, looking at Kona's moonlit face, and he smiled and reached out to lift the quilt for her.

"Good night."

After doing all this, Karp slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep as well.

……

The next morning, Karp and Kona woke up at the same time, and were a little surprised to see that there was another person in front of them, but after they saw each other clearly, they returned to their original state and began to wash up in an orderly manner, and finally planned to go out for breakfast.

This day is the day before the festival begins, so most of the preparations in the city of Ouludron have been made, and even the castle itself has been decorated, so you just need to wait until the time for the festival to begin.

The festival schedule begins with the Queen's speech, then the trainers who participated in the festival begin to decide on the Wave Guide, and finally the Wave Leader Hero is selected and a banquet is held inside the castle so that everyone can enjoy the atmosphere of the festival.

For the average person, it may be enough to wait for the festival to start at this time, but for the trainers who participated in the competition, the festival has already started today.

After all, the process of the celebration is not only a battle, and tomorrow is only one day, so the knockout round can only be held today.

Today, the top 16 will be selected, and then from the top 16 to the finals, all of them will be held tomorrow, and basically the competition will start tomorrow morning, and then in the evening, it will be just in time for the banquet, and this is the whole schedule of the festival.

It was precisely because they were going to participate in the knockout round today, so Karp and Kona woke up early, and after having breakfast together, they went to the knockout stage.

Because the knockout tournament is closed, the rules of the tournament are much more confusing than the official open tournament, and after all the trainers are divided into 16 groups, only 16 rings and a large number of judges are given to the players.

Each person can only get one chance to fight, and if they fail once, they will be eliminated, and only one trainer in a group will be eligible to attend tomorrow's festival, so in addition to the requirements of strength and luck, there is also the possibility of opportunism in this kind of knockout.

Basically, after the rules were issued, many trainers in Karp's field of vision with points between 300 and 350 points, which were not low points for this celebration, thought about it, and when they were almost done, they began to group groups.

To be honest, Karp didn't care much about the rules but was a little concerned about the group, and when he was grouped, he first made sure that he and Kona were not in the same group so that both of them could qualify for the celebration, and then he found that most of the high-scoring trainers were in a group with him, which made him laugh.

Kona noticed Karp's smile and chuckled.

"I'm in the second group, the arena is over there, let's meet after the knockout round, I'll go first."

Karp nodded at Kona, watched her go to the ring of the second group, and then moved his gaze back to his own group.

Not at all what he expected, the trainers who had thought about the rules before didn't choose to step into the ring at the beginning, but wanted to wait until the other people's elves had consumed a certain amount of physical strength before making plans. Karp, who saw this scene, laughed even more happily, and then stepped into the ring first under the gaze of a group of everyone.

Karp doesn't think the same as them, even if the trainers here deal with him in the form of a wheel battle, it's just a simple point giving away to him, so as long as he is the first to play, he can get all the points of a group of players.

There aren't many trainers in a group, but if they all add up, they can probably get more than 3,000 points, and if tomorrow's official tournament is counted, Karp will be able to draw again after the celebration, so he completely ignores the eyes of the people around him, and is the first to step on the group and intends to stand from the beginning to the end of the knockout round.

Kona, who was around the second group of rings, was a little surprised to see Karp be the first to step into the ring, although she knew that Karp had won many competitions during this time, but she only learned the results of the matches in the snowy mountains, and she didn't know that Karp's record was enough to be called brutal.

However, the surprise only lasted for a moment, and she knew that Karp believed Karp, so even if she didn't know why, she felt that Karp must have his own reasons for doing this.

Just as she retracted her gaze and planned to finish the knockout round wholeheartedly, she subconsciously heard the comments of two trainers around her who were also divided into the second group.

"One of the trainers actually took the stage at the beginning? Isn't he afraid that his elves will run out of strength in the end......"

First, a trainer was puzzled by Karp's behavior, and then the trainer next to him smiled wryly and looked at Karp in the ring with some fear.

"You haven't played in the league's winter tournament before, the trainer in the ring is a trainer who can make it to the finals with one elf, and the wheel battle of a dozen trainers may be enough for him to send only one elf, and you might as well worry about yourself if you have time to worry about him."

Hearing such a conversation, Kona also had a clearer understanding of Karp's strength, and after knowing that Karp was completely fine, she regained that cold expression and focused all her attention on the second group game.

- Karp should be able to finish the knockout round soon, so I can't keep him waiting too long.
