A team of five people composed of Karp and the others followed behind the three of Pear Blossom all the way to the edge of the forest. The three of them obviously knew that there was a huge cave on the side of the forest and an elven patrol around the cave, but instead of approaching that position, they stopped outside the patrol's maximum patrol area and stopped for a moment.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Rika looked at Hiba and Kazuki and frowned.

"I haven't found it yet, could it be that Karp is with the other students and has gone to the other side of the beach?"

Kazuki shook his head, then chuckled.

"If that's the case, the adults should have seen him by now, and there are only nine island trainers on the other side of the beach, so it can't be an opponent for the adults at all."

Listening to Kazuki's words, Rika and Xiba both nodded, they were still very clear about the strength of the masked man.

"Then let's go to the adults' side."

As she spoke, Rika came to this conclusion by looking at the sky that was gradually covered with dark clouds.

After all, they can't find Karp anywhere else, so instead of wasting time on such an empty island, it's better to go to the masked man side to help.

What they didn't know was that at this time, the Karp Five hid in the bushes behind them and listened to their conversation clearly.

Did this group of people come to find themselves?

Karp's eyes narrowed, and then something else came to mind.

The first is that the academy seems to have discovered the intruders and has now begun to gather the others, and the second is that the adults they call seem to have passed towards the location where the other students had gathered.

But don't worry too much about this, after all, since Principal Austin has found this group of guys, then he has already passed by now, and there is no problem if the principal is there.

Then there's the situation on Kerry's side.

Although Karp had guessed that Kerry should have been attacked, now that they heard the nine island trainers they were talking about, he could almost confirm this conjecture.

Let's go back and see what happens to Kerry.

With this in mind, Karp turned his back to the other four and raised his right hand.

And Daigo and the others saw Karp's movements, and they were all ready.

This is a code that is decided when tracking, and when Karp raises his right hand, it means that he is about to attack.

In fact, if you change the captain here, you won't be as bold as Karp at this time.

Although they are hiding in the shadows, if they attack rashly without knowing the strength of the other party, the final result will only be self-defeating.

However, Karp is different, he can see how many points other trainers can get after being defeated through the system, and the number of points can be more convenient for Karp to obtain points, and he can also judge the strength of other trainers, so for Karp, the strength of the three Pear Blossoms is clear to him.

Rika, Kazuki, and Sheba were about the same age as them.

Daigo is a genius among geniuses in his own right, so the difference in strength between the two sides is not very big in comparison.

Rika has 80 points, Kazuki has 85 points, and Hiba has the highest points, but it is the same 90 points as Daigo.

Therefore, Nazi, who has the lowest points in Karp's team, is also worth 80 points, while Kona, Daigo and Mikoli are all trainers worth 90 points, plus Karp's overall strength is definitely stronger than the other party.

However, Daigo and the others have only participated in normal battles, and Rika and the others are estimated to have seen blood now under the training of their so-called adults.

Once the battle really starts, the difference of 0 points really doesn't represent much of an advantage, so Karp took out the stun gun from the compression backpack at this time and made such a decision.

- In short, let's get rid of the stronger Hiba and Kazuki first.

While Karp's side was preparing to launch a surprise attack, Austin's side and the masked man were also at odds.

The nine island trainers boarded the boat brought by Austin with the students behind them, and Austin looked at the masked man, and all the students who had arrived here left on the boat before the masked man spoke again.

"Now your students are gone, and you just sent out all your men, leaving you and me here."

As he spoke, the masked man let out that indecipherable laugh again.

"-Isn't it true that the leader of the former special investigators has not won my self-confidence?"

Austin laughed as he listened to the masked man's voice.

"That's true, I've always been like this, it's because of my cautious character that I've caught a lot of criminals who shouldn't have been caught, but it's also because of my cautious character that I've reaped defeats in many places where I should have won.

I can't say whether this personality gives me strengths or weaknesses, but I don't think it's okay to be cautious when it comes to you. ”

Hearing Austin say such words, a calm masked man before was also a little serious, and it wasn't until Austin said the next words that he relaxed again.

"Twenty years ago, before I left the Special Investigator, I was last given such a task.

No, and perhaps not a mission, it is more accurate to say that it is such a legend.

In the area of the Orange Islands, there is a masked ghost who used to be the father of a child, but his child died, so he would collect many children who looked like his own children, freeze them in ice, and then carve ice sculptures into ice sculptures, and make the ice sculptures come alive in order to resurrect his children in another form.

Because of this legend, I searched for a long time in the Orange Islands, but in the end, I didn't find this masked ghost.

However, at that time, one of my subordinates accidentally took a photo that resembled a masked ghost. ”

As he spoke, Austin took out such a picture from his arms with one hand.

In the photograph is a man in a black cloak and a mask, flanked by a messenger bird with an also mask, and the man in the photograph is holding a child and standing on the top of the building with only a vague figure.

However, if you compare it with the masked man in front of Austin, you can see that both the mask and the costume are exactly the same as they were twenty years ago.

As he spoke, Austin put the photo away again and looked at the masked man in front of him.

"Because the person who took the photo is no longer in the Alliance, I still have this photo with me as a last memory, and it was just a souvenir, but I didn't expect that I met here the existence that I should have found twenty years ago."

With Austin's voice, the surrounding wind and snow began to accelerate, and the storm like a barrier completely encircled Kamen and Austin in the center, and as the cold broke out, the snow-covered ground in front of him directly cracked, and then a messenger bird jumped out and landed next to Kamen Man.

And beside Austin, the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and Austin's figure has become blurred.

"That's a coincidence"

Although Austin's figure became more and more indistinguishable in the already materialized wind and snow, his voice was still clearly transmitted to the masked man's ears.

"I didn't expect to meet you again here, and this time you're eyeing Karp.

Do you think I didn't have the confidence to defeat you by letting the rest of my men go?

No.

The reason why I asked my men to leave was just to free up a battlefield where I could show my strength.

Kamen Man、Let's make up for the battle we didn't start twenty years ago.。 ”
