In many ways, it could be said that the mock battle between Ray and the nobles was irregular.
　In the first place, it's strange for a mock battle to play a mock battle over and over again, not once.
　Of course, there are mock battles that will be played against a large number of people, but that was a little too much for the number of people gathered this time.
　However, not many people have the ability to play mock battles with Ray, who is nicknamed crimson, and many people are convinced if they say it is a mock battle to confirm Ray's ability.
　Ray could have complained, but in this case Liberte paid him for wind ore, and considering that, I had no particular complaint about playing mock battles with many people.
　I've also had some free time since I came to Anesis because I've had nothing particular to do.
　However, Ray honestly wanted to refrain from measuring his body for clothes even when he was free.

"Now I'm going to start the first mock battle! I'm going to fight the crimson Ray... these ten first!"

　That's what the host says, and the man turns his hand to the adventurers facing Ray.
　It was a pretty over-the-top act, but the fact that you can see the notorious mock game, and the spectators who are excited by the festivities, cheer at the host's behavior.

"I'd like to try a mock battle against a notorious man. These are the adventurers! I know I'm immature, but I'm still able to compete with a notorious man with my current strength! How far can the adventurers of Rank C and D, who are considered full-fledged adventurers, be held back?"

　The host man's words make some of the men who are about to play mock battles with Ray look displeased.
　We don't think we'll win if we fight Ray, but it's probably not funny to be told that on the assumption that we'll lose.

"Look, calm down. If you're frustrated, I'll show you what's good about the mock game, right?"

　A man nearby tells me if he knew a man who looked uncomfortable.
　The voice brought back the unpleasant man, and the others were ready to engage in mock warfare at any time.
　Confirming such a move... the host looks at Ray.
　Still empty-handed, Ray pulls out a spear of death size and twilight from Mistilling at the host's gaze.
　a huge scythe and crimson spear
　If you've ever seen Ray fight, you wouldn't have been surprised to see him, but most of them have never seen Ray's weapons with their own eyes.
　Therefore, it is hard to believe that a small person like Ray holds both a scythe and a spear in one hand, causing a strong stir.
　For adventurers in particular, they can predict how heavy Ray is as they actually have weapons.
　We may be able to hold it in one hand, but we can hardly handle it freely.
　By doing so, we recognize Ray as something outside our grasp.
　In fact, aside from the twilight spear, the death size is not at all heavy for Ray, as it has a special ability to make Ray and Sett feel very little weight.

"Oh, the crimson Ray took out a huge sickle and a red spear! A scythe famous as a crimson Ray weapon, and a spear that I can understand as a work. Originally, both arms of this kind are commonly held in both hands, so-called "long objects." Ray can manipulate both of them with one hand! Just to confirm the rules, if he falls to the ground, he will be considered defeated. The battle will continue from there, but this time it will be set because of the large number of people!

　The host man's words give the audience a voice of bewilderment and surprise.
　Regardless of the rules, it seemed unlikely that Ray could imitate the use of both a scythe and a spear together.
　But when I saw him standing without difficulty with it, it seemed almost certain that Ray could handle the two weapons at the same time.
　I'm wearing a dragon lobe hood, so I don't know what you're actually looking like.
　At any rate, adventurers are momentarily frightened by Ray's appearance with weapons that even they cannot handle easily.
　Still, I guess it was because I understood this was a mock battle that I quickly regained my spirits.

"Here we go! He's an adventurer with a different name. He's paid to play a mock battle with him, so we must have hoped and come true!"

　The adventurer with the long sword begins to run first.
　As they followed such a man, others began to run in unison.
　The fact that ten people... and those who are good at rough things start to run all at once is very powerful.
　In fact, those who came as spectators were breathtaking at the power of these adventurers.
　But... in the position of being attacked, Ray looked completely nervous, waiting for the adventurers who were approaching him.
　Ray, who is often seen as a bandit hunter, is used to dealing with a large number of people at once.
　Originally, it is best to attack adventurers who come forward at once, but as long as this is a mock battle, the opponent needs to show off, and waits for the opponent without moving from the scene.
　Some of the aristocrats looked down on Ray, who, when they saw an adventurer approaching them, did not seem to move at all, and thought he was frightened, but... Ray, of course, did not care at all.

`Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!'

　The first man to attack Ray was the man with the first long sword to run.
　Just behind it was a woman with a spear in her hand, as well as other adventurers behind her and beside her.
　Ray waits for his opponent's actions... and accepts the first blow of the dagger from the man in the lead with his twilight spear in his left hand.
　It was a well-weighted blow, but it was passed along the handle of the spear in the twilight, which caused the man to lose his balance... and fall on the spot, scooped up by a death-size thud he held in his right hand.
　The man was also an adventurer, so he could do something about the minimum defense of not hitting his head when he fell, but he still wouldn't be able to move around for several tens of seconds because of the impact of hitting his body against the ground.
　For the time being, Ray distracts from the man and deals with a woman with a spear right behind him.
　Straight thrusts have a certain speed and sharpness.
　On the contrary, however, it's only a reasonable amount, and it's not difficult for Ray to avoid.
　He avoided the spear with just a little movement, entangled the handle of the spear with the twilight spear, which had just been struck by the dagger, and the next moment the spear that the woman was carrying was blown away into the air.
　In an instant, the spear in her hand disappeared, and she tumbled on the foot of a stunned woman, like the man mentioned earlier, with her death-size butt.
　However, it is different from what I mentioned above.
　Instead of stopping the death-size movement that wiped the woman's feet, she brushed the two feet from the side at Ray, who was fighting the woman.
　Almost at the same time, the two fall to the ground, and Ray wields his twilight spear at his next attack.
　One foot after another, the adventurers fall to the ground.
　Some people may have injured their feet, but no one is still going to break them.
　Finally, there was one elf holding the bow.
　His companions -- who happened to be part of a team -- should have shot arrows that had crushed arrowheads while he was fighting Ray.
　However, if a mock battle was actually fought, it would have unfolded to the point of being hit by Ray unilaterally, and there was no room to shoot an arrow.

"Well... what do you do? You're the only one left... are you going to fight with me?"
"...yes. It's a mock battle against a notorious man. So long as you don't fight here, you won't know what you're here for."

　With the words, an arrow is shot from the Elf's hand.
　The arrow, which came straight at Ray, was easily cut off by death size the next moment.
　A glance at the arrow rolling in two to the ground, Ray walks forward... toward the Elf man.
　If he could prevent his present arrow, he would have decided he had no chance of winning. Elf would drop his bow and pull out the dagger at his waist.

"Come on,"

　As Ray said so, the elf rushed forward.
　However, since his real weapon is the bow, he must have put less effort into the dagger than the man with the long sword who first made his way to Ray... no, two steps down.
　Was it a little disappointing? I didn't think so, but when I got stuck with the elf... the next moment I accelerated.

(I see)

　Act slowly first, and then suddenly change the speed in front of you.
　What I'm doing is simple, but I'm naturally confused when I'm actually doing something like that right in front of me.
　But it's just an ordinary adventurer's case. It's not surprising to Ray if he suddenly changes his speed.
　Eventually, the elf falls over after being scooped up by a death-size stonemate...the first mock game is Ray's complete victory.

"That's it! The first game is Ray's victory!"

　As the host said so, quite a few spectators were crying out in despair.
　They probably bet on Ray's defeat in the first mock game because they didn't know how good he was.
　However, it's not a big mistake to do something by yourself with ten people in the ordinary course of course.
　How strong a man named Ray was... he was the first to cry with joy because he didn't lose the bet.

`Whoa,'With a small breath, Ray looks around.
　There you can see adventurers getting up and leaving.
　Some of them injured their legs so badly that they couldn't stand up, but the guards guarding the stage helped them.

(Did you do it a little too much? But there's no problem because you said there are people who can use potions or recovery magic, right?

　As Ray sees the adventurers off the stage, the host opens his mouth.

"No, it's amazing! There were 10 people there, but Ray was the only one who overwhelmed me! He's got the nickname crimson!"

　Those words add to the excitement of the audience.
　He must be good at instigating the host.

"But... so! The next opponent is a little different from the adventurers of today, for they are knights serving the Earl of Leremylla!"

　Hearing that he is a knight serving the nobility, the audience's eyes are turned to the stage.
　Five people went up there.
　It's only half the number of adventurers I mentioned, but I guess that means they're all very elite.

(You don't have to have someone weaker than the one who came out in front of you.)

　They must have noticed Ray was looking at them. Some knights look at Ray with fighting eyes.
　The five men's armour was the same, showing that they were knights.

"Well, we're both ready... for the second mock game!"

　The host man's words drive the knights straight at Ray.
　But what's different from the adventurers I've mentioned is that everyone understands what they're supposed to do, and everyone tries to do their part without saying anything.
　Two long swords, two spears, and one hammer.
　The man with the last hammer seems to be bragging about his strength and is nearly two meters tall.
　The blow of a hammer delivered from the gigantic body makes me think that if it is hit right, it will kill a person easily, even if it is a mock battle.

(Is it a noble hand who wants to kill me? ...but I don't feel like killing him.)

　What the knights see is not murder, but fighting spirit.
　He seems to want to see how far he can communicate with his powerful opponent, Ray.

(Then... I'll take a guess first.)

　That being the case, Ray took a step forward with his death-size and twilight spear in his hand.
