The first to be chosen as Ray's mock opponent was a man slightly older than Ray.
　However, it's been a few years since Ray came to Elgin, and yet Ray's appearance hasn't changed at all since then.
　Normally, a man in his mid-teens would grow very tall in less than a year, but there was no sign of it... ...but that was not particularly a problem because Ray was also a very powerful wizard.
　At any rate, looking a little older than Ray at that age means he's in his late teens... he's probably not yet twenty.
　Being a member of the elite Duke of Quevel's Knights at that age is undoubtedly a man of talent and a future to be expected.
　However, it is only natural in this age group that he becomes a Tengu because of his high talent... In that sense, Ray's presence must have been perfect for Filma.
　The man with the long sword in his hand can't move at all against Ray's death-size and twilight spear.
　There are differences in skill, but the power of Ray's two weapons is probably the biggest reason why he is hesitant to attack.
　A few seconds later... and then Ray opens his mouth.

"If you don't come from there, I'll go from here."

　Tell them so and take a step forward.
　Ray's words and actions make the man half-reflective.

"Leodannis!"

　At the moment, Filma's voice echoes around her.
　I could never have shouted at him, but his voice, which still echoed around him, was the result of continuing to give instructions to his friends in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the war.
　Then the man who comes back to life with Filma's voice... Leodanis tries to settle with Ray at once with a long sword in his hand.

"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

　It was almost a scream, but the step was much sharper than the adventurers around it.
　...but still slower than Leodannis's original speed is probably due to the cold winter season, when the movement is a little slower after a certain amount of running, or the wetting of the ground with a little snow.
　It wasn't difficult for Ray to get ahead of Leodanis.
　But as long as this is a mock battle, Leodanis also needs to have some experience.
　That's why Ray watches Leodannis's actions... and eventually plays the dagger down at him in a death-size manner.
　There was a sharp metallic sound around him, and the next moment the dagger he held flew spinning, and when Leodanis understood what had happened with the numbness of his hand, he had already pointed the tip of his twilight spear before him.

"That's it!"
"...what?"

　Filma's voice echoes through the training ground.
　Leodanis's voice came out of his mouth, completely unaware of what had happened.
　Only the severely numb hands indicate that they have lost.
　That's not to say that they lost after a close race, but that they were dismissed in a literal sense.
　The moment Filma's voice rings, the other knights watching the current Battle of Leodanis, though difficult to call it.

"Did you see it? No, did you see it?"
"... that scythe... had been shaken before I knew it."
"When did you stick out your spear?"

　Such voices echo around, but Filma's voice echoes around her as if to erase them.

"Next! Charisula!"
"Me!? Wow, I see!"

　In Filma's words, a woman in her mid-20s appears in front of Ray with a spear in her hand.
　When a woman called Shalisra approaches, Leodanis picks up his long sword and walks away.
　Leodanis, who was confident in his strength, never expected to lose so easily.
　As he walked, he looked as if he still didn't understand whether he really lost.

"Let's get on with it said.

　At the same time as Filma's voice, Shalisla comes forward at once.
　Leodanis gave Ray the initiative by watching him.
　That being the case, it's better for you to take the initiative here than Ray.
　That's probably what he did.
　It wasn't by any means wrong for Ray's conduct.
　But... Sharisla's skill and physical strength... in general, he was too weak to take the initiative from Ray.

"Huh!"

　a shrill thrust released with a shrill cry
　the fastest and most basic attack in a weapon, called spear
　and, being a member of the Knights of Kerebel, the speed of their thrusts was incomparable to those of the adventurers.
　But...

"What?"

　The next moment, Sharisla's voice was as stupid as Leodanis's.
　But not only did Sharisla utter such a voice, but so did the other knights watching the fight around him.
　It was only natural that the spears of Shalisra and the spears of Ray's twilight were directly connected.
　You can definitely understand what happened by looking at the results before you.
　In other words, Ray's thrust intercepted Sharisla's thrust.
　However, the tip of Sharisla's spear and the tip of Ray's twilight spear collided with each other without a moment's slippage... it could have been described as miraculous.
　A little... the spear would have flowed along the ear or handle of the opponent if the ear had shifted a little.
　Seeing that such a thing did not happen and that the spears of each other stopped moving at all, everyone could understand how skilled it was.
　Understanding that would be proof that everyone in the Knights of Kelebel was above a certain level of competence.

"Here we go,"

　Ray mutters briefly from the situation where the tips of the spears collide with each other.
　As soon as he hears it, Shari-Sura is chilled to the bone to see what will happen... but he quickly pulls back his spear if he decides to lose without doing anything.
　They kept the balance because they were spears of equal strength.
　Of course, it wasn't the same power as Shalisla and Ray, but it was a mock battle, so it was certain that Ray was in tune with Shalisla.
　At any rate, if Shalisra backs off his spear in such a situation, it is natural for Ray to lean forward.
　It wasn't strange, but... Ray didn't move at all and didn't move at all.
　However, Sharisla has fully understood how dehumanized Ray is, in the short run he has been, and how good he is to be called an outsider.
　That being the case, I don't think Ray's sudden relaxation will upset him.
　In fact, they take it for granted and let it go again.
　Maybe they'll take it the same way again? You don't have to think like that in a corner of your head. ... When Ray actually hits the nail again, Shari-Sla thought so.
　However, when a spear is received, the impact is not on the arm, and it is reflexively questionable.
　He had such a doubt that Ray would have failed to match the tip of his spear.
　But the moment I thought that there was no reaction in my hand, a slight reaction was left in my hand, and the spear had disappeared.
　And before you know it, you instinctively understand what happened when you see your spear spinning through the air in a corner of your vision, looking at the tip of the twilight spear before you, just like you did in Leodanis.
　The second time Shalisra fired a thrust, Ray did not act as if he had received it with his ear.
　It was not known whether it had been intentional or unsuccessful, but Ray, seeing the moment the spear tip was swept away, entangled it and flung it up.
　If the spear disappears from the possession of the spear, there is nothing Shari-Sura can do.
　No, we have daggers ready for a rainy day, but since they are only spare weapons, they are naturally inferior to spears.
　She can beat Ray in such a situation... no, she can't do anything to retaliate, and Shalisra opens her mouth before Filma says something.

"I'm at it,"

　When Shalisra says so, Ray looks at Filma, sees her nod, and then removes the tip of her spear.

"Well, I knew it, but it was so overwhelming."

　Filma says something like that, but it's not about disappointment with his men, it's about admiration for Ray.
　As long as they train together almost every day, Filma understands that his men are not weak at all.
　Ray seems to be easily beaten, purely because of his extraordinary skill.
　Or if the two who played the mock battle were not doing anything like that, apart from that, there was no reason to do anything like that way.

(It's obviously stronger than it was before.)

　Filma is talking about the Azot deal when he fought covertly.
　It was only natural that Ray was growing more than before, given that several years had passed since the battle.
　However, it was unexpected that he had grown to this point, and he didn't have to hide his identity, so the feeling of how far he could fight Ray in this situation rises in the film.

(I was a knight in the end... I see.)

　Filma opens her mouth the moment she realizes the burning passion inside her."It seems to be too strong against Ray. Of course, fighting against a strong enemy is a good training, but... it's an opportunity. I'll play a mock battle with Ray next time."

　with a rustle
　The knights buzz when they hear the story.
　For the Knights of Kerebel... well, it is only natural that Filma is the strongest figure in the Duke of Kerebel.
　though it was only near the strongest, and not the strongest, it was clear to the knights who were practicing almost every day.
　Ray, who always sees the strength of the film and the crimson, showed his true strength in front of his eyes.
　Of course, everyone in the room was interested in which one was stronger.

"Wait a minute!"

　Somebody put a stop to Filma's behavior.
　The man is in his mid-40s and older than Filma.
　Still, given that they are training in this way, their physical strength must be considerable.
　But the knight's role was essentially Filma's support, and he was in the position of vice-president of the Knights.
　He was better at fighting under the command of his men than at the front, and he judged that it was impossible to let Ray and Filma fight here.
　Filma, which should be called the most powerful in the Duke of Kelebel, is, so to speak, a symbol of the army.
　Although less well-known than Elena, who is a symbol of the aristocracy, Filma, who has been the head of the Knights of Kerebel for many years, is seen by many as a symbol of power.
　That's how the knights here today see Filma.
　It's true that you want to see which is stronger, Ray.
　But at the same time, how many imagine Filma and Ray fighting and Filma losing?
　It seemed unrealistic now, but you'd certainly be shocked to see Filma lose with her eyes.
　Or, if the enemy is Elena... ...of the Duke of Quelevel, that's all right.
　But Ray is not, of course, a member of the Duke of Kelebel, much less a member of the nobility.
　The defeat of Filma, the symbol of arms in the Duke of Kelebel in a different way than Elena, could have had the worst consequences.
　That's why I stopped it like this...

"No problem,"

　Yes, Filma tells her older men.

"But!"
"Mr. Ray is the man Mr. Elena brought. In that sense... You know what I mean?"
"That's..."

　What's more, the man is silenced by Filma's words at a dinner last night, telling him that it's OK to play mock battles here, given that the Duke and Duchess of Kelebel are half-confident.
　Confirming it, Filma asks Ray with a fierce smile.

"Now, Mr. Ray, will you take the mock battle with me?"

　When Filma asked him so, Ray nodded back.
