Filma, the man with the Harbard standing in front of her.
　He leads some of the most elite people in the kingdom of Milliana, and his standing is unguarded, and he has the power to feel just facing each other.
　But... while he felt the power of being released at him, even the physical pressure, Ray felt something he didn't understand.
　This is probably the first time I've met a man in front of me.
　No, I was involved in a war against the Empire of Bestia, and I met him at that time... at least it was the first time I had ever fought against him -- a mock war, to be exact.
　Nevertheless, Ray has the impression that he has fought somewhere before against Filma, who is standing in front of him.
　Are you feeling that way under the pressure of Filma's power? I thought so and tried hard to hold the spear of death size and twilight, but there was no problem, and I was sure I was in good shape as usual.

(Then you don't feel like I've been nervous and fought against Filma before? So, have you fought somewhere in earnest? No, but... if you've ever fought against a celebrity like Filma, you'll definitely remember.)

　Ray tries to revive the memories of those who have fought so far while watching Filma.
　But there's no way that Firma, facing Ray, will miss thinking about it.

"What's wrong with you? Can you afford to think about anything else in front of me?"
"... I'm sorry. I'd like to ask you something before you fight, but have you ever fought with me before?"

　Ray asks Filma because she can't think of it right away.
　When asked, Filma is careful not to express her surprise.
　I never thought I'd remember myself only once in attendance many years ago.

"Well, I don't know, but... if you beat me, that might be clear."

　Filma's words of provocation came out of her mouth.
　At Firma's words, Ray stepped forward with his death size and twilight spear in his hand.
　It didn't just step forward, it kicked the ground and shortened the distance in an instant.
　a scythe, a spear, a halberd
　Ray and Filma have different kinds of weapons, but there is no doubt that all three are weapons commonly called long arms.
　That being the case, Filma will naturally not like to be suddenly introduced into the middle of the moment.
　It was Ray's behavior, calculated so instantly.
　Nevertheless, Ray's weapons are long, so there is no doubt that he is not good at fighting in a tight situation.
　However, Ray, who acted on his own initiative, naturally assumes how to attack him after a pause.
　The first thing that was shaken was the death size.
　Originally, it's a death size that weighs as much as 100 kg, so just hitting the handle instead of the huge blade can cause a lot of damage.
　The blow, struck at the torso as the hardest place to avoid, made Filma jump back... and soon kicked the ground again, settling in with Ray himself.
　Ray feels a little uncomfortable with Filma's behavior.
　The first death-size blow he received was a head start, but it could have been taken by his Harbard if he was still rated no better than Elena.
　It was only momentary but sufficient to raise doubts about Ray's efforts to avoid so exaggeratedly.
　However, we are now in the midst of a mock war.
　Ray doesn't have the time to think about the details, and he prevents Harbard's blow as much as to say it's his revenge.
　But here, too, there's a momentary.
　Filma is a right-handed man, and if she were to swing Harbard sideways, she could swing to Ray's left side... toward him holding the spear of twilight.
　But Ray was more likely to have received a more effective blow if he attacked him at death's size first.
　Of course, the choice of which blow Harbard's blow to shoot has a lot to do with his preference, so if you ask if this blow was fatal and unnatural, you won't be able to nod.
　Still, in Ray's eyes, Filma seemed to avoid hitting Death Size.

"Slip!"

　With the spear of twilight, Firma takes a blow from Harbard.
　But Ray's leak came from an unexpectedly heavy blow, a cry of surprise.
　Ray's physical ability can be called extraordinary, and it's impossible to make Ray's hand numb at one blow.
　It's not hard to imagine how powerful it would be if it were such a paralyzing blow to Ray's hand.

(If he had taken this blow properly, wouldn't he have been dead in the ordinary course of life?)

　Ray's left hand now has considerable paralysis, though not enough to numb his hands and blow away his weapons, as Leodanis did in the first mock battle.
　Of course, it's not that you can't fight in that state, but... this is just a mock battle, and you have to try not to inflict a fatal injury on your opponent.
　Filma's blow against Ray's spear in the twilight would have been stopped in case of emergency...and he would have changed his position so as not to be fatally wounded.

(Perhaps, but!)

　With that in mind, he swings his right hand's death size while turning his body half-turned.
　Naturally, the blow was not a blade, but a death-size stonemate, but... Filma, seeing it, retreated without hesitation.
　twice
　...yes, they evacuated twice in a row to avoid being attacked by death.

(You have a complete grasp of the special capabilities of death size.)

　If I hadn't been wary of the ability of death-size to weigh as much as it looks, I wouldn't have avoided such a thorough collision with death-size.
　It meant Filma knew the death-size weighed more than 100 kg.
　Facing Filma, Ray turns to Death Size, which he holds in his right hand.
　It's not all that secret that death size has such a capability.
　In the first place, anyone who fought against Ray with a death size understands that death size weighs more than it looks.
　Nevertheless, in the case of death size, it is only natural that attention should be paid to the huge blade rather than to the weight.
　It was only for a moment that I turned my eyes to death size, but I don't think a talented person like Filma would miss such an opportunity, even for a moment.
　The next moment Ray takes his eyes off him, Filma moves forward again.

"Huh!"

　a halbard with a sharp expiration
　The reason why the speed has increased somewhat since the previous battle with Ray is probably because Filma determined that there was no problem with that speed and power.
　Ray tries to hit Harbard with a death-size blow on his torso... but Filma refuses to hit Harbard with a death-size blow and uses his wrist movements to force Harbard to change his trajectory.
　Normally, forcing a heavy object such as a halberd to move only by moving the wrist is quite a burden, and that's why you can sprain your wrist.
　However, it is only normal, and Filma is not something that falls within the framework of normal.
　Harbard's long stature, which has changed its trajectory, is pushing Ray's torso away, trying to avoid hitting death-size.
　The blow was taken by Ray with a twilight spear, not a death-size one... he tried to entangle Harbard like he had done to Sharisra, but it was as hard as a rock that came back to Ray.
　Filma must have read such a move, which was supposed to entangle Harbard and jump it up into the sky.
　Watching the battle against Shalisra, I was able to respond immediately.
　No, he even used Ray's movements to entangle the spear of twilight as a counter.
　This attack by Filma prevents Ray from being deprived of his weapons by holding the spear of twilight as firmly as his opponent... thus creating a momentary stalemate between the spear of twilight and Harbard.
　But while Filma holds Harbard in both hands, Ray holds the spear of twilight in his left hand.
　In other words, the death size that Filma was most wary of is free...

"You'll let me!"

　Filma stopped moving because of her antagonism to the spear in the twilight, but her death size... literally cuts her opponent's life off easily -- this time a mock battle, so Ray doesn't intend to go that far either -- when he saw the scythe approaching, he took it to relax his knee and sit on the ground.
　If she had just backed away, she would have used the move to entangle Harbard because it was an easy-to-understand move for Ray.
　In fact, Ray had decided that Filma would behave like that and was about to move the moment he stepped down.
　Therefore, it was unexpected for Ray that Filma would commit an act of sitting down.
　And the unexpected behavior causes Ray to stop thinking, albeit for a second... and yet his right hand, holding the death size, follows Filma's movements semi-reflectively.
　Understanding such a death-size move, Filma leaps up from her waist on the ground.
　Ray couldn't figure out how to make such a move from a sitting position. He couldn't, but... it was undoubtedly the fact that the death size had passed under the leaping film.
　Moreover, he even tried to pull Harbard out of the twilight spear, which had been intertwined by the current series of movements.

『……』

　They distance themselves from each other and check on each other silently.
　The sharpness of the eye that is directed at you is to watch your opponent's gap.
　The act of looking away from the opponent for a moment, which was the beginning of the previous battle, is more than enough to trigger a battle in this mock battle.
　Then we face each other for a few seconds...or several tens of seconds?
　For that length of time, we observe each other in silence... and suddenly, like a winter breeze, the leaves of some plant pass by between Ray and Filma.
　Why were there leaves of plants in this season of snow?
　No one knew it, but as soon as the leaves pass between them, Ray and Filma move forward.
　At the same time, it was an action based on the understanding that the other person would not miss this moment, so there was no need to be confused even if the relationship with the other person was shortened in an instantaneously.
　Avoiding Firma's blow from Harbard, Ray fires a blow from the twilight spear.Because it is a mock battle, it is not a thrust with the tip of the ear, but a blow that is mowing sideways.
　The blow, however, is prevented by Harbard... Ray wields his death-size as if he were taking a moment to slow down his opponent's movements.
　Filma also tries to use the force of the spear in the twilight to strike Ray with a blow as he spins... but the movement stops.
　Not surprisingly, the latter has an overwhelming advantage in delivering a single blow or in delivering a normal blow.
　No, if your opponent is inferior to you, it's a different story... but this time Filma's opponent is Ray, not really inferior.
　Filma, staring at the death size in front of her, wondered if she could turn the tables from here for a moment, but in the end she just decided that there was nothing she could do about it.
　If this is a real battle, not a mock battle, we still have a few tricks left, but we don't have to go out of our way to show it in a mock battle.
　Moreover, while he is on friendly terms with Ray, he is not a clear ally.
　In some cases, there may be a future of hostility.
　That being the case, what Filma should do here is not to look for a chance to counterattack...

"I'm at a loss. I'm at a loss."

　It was an honest admission of defeat.
