"We can use this " Kamiko stated after skimming through the pages 

"The guidebook?" Nagisa questioned, hoisting himself up with his hand. The blue haired male walked over to the taller girl, peering slightly at the pages "What to do when a group member had been abducted " Nagisa read off the title with hesitance 

"The octopus really did wrote down everything in this guidebook " Sugino breathed out in awe 

"B-but , how are we going to find them? " Okuda queried, her lips trembling as her eyes carefully peruse the page 

Ayanokouji blankly looked down at the pages, her eyes halting at the sight of a map "They're probably around here " Kamiko pointed out, index finger placed on top of a red dot 

"Let's go then " Karma maliciously grinned, the red haired boy already walking off to the area that Kamiko had pointed at . Not quering wether why, Kamiko was so sure about their whereabouts. 

The group of Junior-high students followed along the map, as they continued along , the buildings surrounding the red dot on the map looks to be abandoned. The building was quaint, windows were shattered, some pieces of the roof were also missing due to the long years it was uninhabited 

"So this is where they are, huh " Sugino mused aloud with a hint of fear lacing his tone . 

Karma immediately stepped into the building, the boy wasn't even the slightest bit teriffied, being blinded by his temper, or possibly that's just how he is.

 Kamiko and the others followed suit, their footsteps resounded throughout the hallways. Flickering lights left on to aluminate the dark hallways just enough so that they could see ahead. 

The group slowly approached a door that was positioned at the end of the corridor, muffled laughter and chattering could be heard as they proceeded closer. Naturally, some bodyguards of some sorts were also placed outside the room, but that was easily taken care of by Karma who had rushed in, effortlessly punching the highschooler who had just taken notice of their existence. 

The red haired boy slowly opened the metal door, the muffled laughter and chattering ceased as the door steadily opened . 

"Oh that's them! our photographers had finally arrive---, Huh?!"

Karma threw the beatened up highschooler inside the room, the delinquets stared at the door with widened eyes as Karma and the others stepped in 

"School trip guidebook , page 1243; what to do when a group member has been abducted. If you have no leads on the perpetrator, first use the content of your conversation and any verbal quirks to determine if they're from the local area. If not, and they're wearing a school uniform, see page 1334. You may be up against another student on a school trip stirring up trouble " Nagisa read off of the guidebook 

"You're here!" Kayano shouted in relief 

"I-it's you ! , How'd you know we were here?!" The leader of the supposed delinquets bellowingly asked. His eyes narrowed in annoyance as he openly glared at the junior-high kids 

Nagisa took this as an indication to continue reading " Being unfamiliar with the area, the perp can't go too far from the abduction, they will choose a secluded spot nearby. If this is the case, see page 134. My Mach 20 bird's eye view map of abductor hideouts will help " Nagisa turned the book around , revealing the map that Koro-sensei had personally drawn
