On the other hand, Gary also observed some clues. There were several suspicious students in the Sacred Heart College camp.

They seemed to be too curious about the gains of other trial participants. Although they also took pains to conceal their actions, they were unintentional. Under Gary's careful observation, he found that the number and frequency of their appearances near other people's camps were abnormally high.

"Hmph, despicable villain, there are always people like this who want to get something for nothing every year. I estimate that they will start tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow morning at the latest. The trial is coming to an end, and everyone's backpacks are already full. It's time to take action." Gary said.

"That's right. If we act too early, we will end up with nothing. If we act too late, everyone's attention will no longer be on the ice core. They must be planning to take it by surprise, succeed in one fell swoop, and then retreat." Fili said.

"Then do we need to remind the students to be careful?" Rob asked.

"Don't alert the enemy." Jacques and Fei'er said in unison.

Fei'er cast an admiring look at Jacques: "It seems that you have fully understood our strategy. That's right, we must not alarm them. If the plan goes well, all the gains will be returned to us in the end."

As Gary expected, that night, news of theft and robbery by masked men spread from both Imperial Academy and the public camp. Because there were only four days left in the trial, everyone was busy mining all night, and few people stayed in the camp at night. Moreover, there had been no conflict before, so no one was on guard.

At this time, the temperature of the frozen abyss has gradually begun to drop, and the wind has gradually increased, occasionally bringing snowflakes. The environment has become bad, and everyone has begun to retreat. Being robbed at this time is almost equivalent to the efforts of the entire trial going to waste. If there is no deep hatred with the other party, basically no one will do such a wicked thing. But the tense relationship between Sacred Heart College and Imperial College for many years has given them enough motivation. In this robbery incident, only the Sacred Heart College camp did not receive any news of being robbed, so who the robber is is about to be revealed.

Like Teikyo Academy, the Sacred Heart Academy's trial participants were also composed of students from the Water Warrior Department and the Water Magic Department, and there was no teacher leading the team. Therefore, when facing the questioning of the victims, only the representative elected by the students of the Sacred Heart Academy could answer the questions. Through the answer of this representative, the style of the Sacred Heart Academy's Water Department could be seen.

They naturally denied the robbery, and the reason was simple, because there was no evidence to prove that the masked men were from Sacred Heart College. As for why the people from Sacred Heart College did not suffer any losses, they said it was a problem of the college's image, saying that the masked men were in awe of Sacred Heart College, so they chose to attack Dijing. As for why more than a dozen students could not provide alibis, and even had not appeared since the robbery, they simply did not explain, only saying that the students were free to come and go and they had no right to interfere.

Because the two major academies of Teijin and Sacred Heart have a long history of competition, it is natural that the students of the two academies regard each other as enemies. Therefore, they are so arrogant when confronting each other. It is obvious that their attitude is "I stole your things, but what can you do to me?"

However, it seems a bit innocent that even people in the open camp were robbed.

The group that suffered the most losses was the unknown group that Fili considered to be suspicious and too well-disciplined. They had been digging non-stop since the start of the trial, and their harvest was originally the largest among the trial participants, but it was almost completely robbed at the last minute. However, they did not respond to this incident, but continued to dig silently, so the momentum of the public camp was weakened.

But the Imperial Academy naturally refused to give up, and although the imperial army that was supervising the trial also stepped forward to mediate, it had little effect.

In fact, the trial itself does not prohibit robbing each other, which is originally part of the trial. It is only forbidden to provoke disputes during the non-mining period. In other words, you can rob each other when mining ice cores, but you cannot steal luggage stored in the garrison.

In the eyes of the Imperial Army, the robbery by these masked men was of course against the rules, but they did not leave any evidence to prove their faction, and they were not caught in the act. They could not conclude that the Sacred Heart Academy was the culprit just because the Sacred Heart Academy was not robbed. Moreover, since this was only a trial site for novices, the Imperial Army sent someone to supervise them who was not a super expert. The level of those masked men was obviously higher than that of ordinary trial participants, and the Imperial Army could do nothing about it because they could not catch them.
