a spear in twilight that sticks out straight
　Egusolis moves forward, passing the blow with a magical sword.
　It's not such a difficult technique to put aside and make room for it.
　But it's just a matter of dealing with an ordinary enemy.
　Ray's thrust of the spear in the twilight is as sharp as it penetrates space itself.
　Feeling it up close is something that would normally be impossible.
　But Exoris, nicknamed the Ice Blade, does it.
　It's not like I'm determined to die, it's just like I can do.
　Egsolis then pauses along the spear of the twilight, but in the next moment he hears the sound of wind breaking from his left side and leaps away from Ray.
　Ray's wavy death-size passed the spot where Exoris had been a moment earlier.
　The next moment, however, the Death Size, which must have passed by, hits Exoris again... half reflexively takes it with a magic sword, but the next moment it's blown away... still twisting in the air and landing on the stage.

"Why, how can you move that scythe so easily?"

　From Egusolis's point of view, the scythe is clearly not something Ray can move comfortably.
　I knew it because I had saved myself from being actually beaten in the handle.
　Incredibly heavy for a weapon.
　Egusoris prevented the blow, but it did not completely prevent the force of the blow.
　From the center of the stage... nearly ten meters away.
　It was because he was the most exorcistic, and that was how it worked out.
　If these had been people who had played mock battles with Ray, they would have definitely been blown off the stage and beaten.
　Egusolis's easy handling of such a heavy weapon is nothing short of an anomaly.
　At least Exoris would say no to being asked if he could handle it the same way with that heavy weapon.
　Ray looked at me as if it were unreasonable, but he himself wields his death size with one hand without any particular concern.

"Even so. I can only say that I can do it because I can."

　To be exact, Ray and Sett are the only magic items in Death Size that hardly make you feel the weight of 100kg...but Ray doesn't bother to teach them that.
　What kind of magic items you have is one of your qualities as an adventurer.
　...however, Death Size is a magic item that appeared in this world in an unprecedented way, created with Seto in the art of witchcraft.
　Egusoris would never have thought that death size was born that way.
　Anyway, Exoris doesn't think he'll tell you how Ray really got a death-size magic item.
　What we need now is how to attack... and how to avoid Ray's attack.

"Well, then, after this mock game, let us hear it as a reward for victory."
"That's impossible, isn't it? I'm the one to win."
"Well, I think I'm the one to win,"
"I understand what you want to say, but... as far as the current trend goes, I think I have an advantage?"
"It may be so now, but... in the end, it's better to stand until the end of the game.

　As Egusolis speaks, he throws the ice column produced by the magic sword's ability at Ray.
　It was a faster ice column than an arrow shot, but Ray's death size and twilight spear were even faster than that speed.
　Ice is being destroyed one after another, but for Egusolis it's a calculus.
　Even though Ray had enough ability to be called a notorious man in terms of ability, I could never imagine that this kind of attack would be effective.
　But if Ray's vision can be blocked even for a moment by the released ice column, the attack will play a role.
　Then, while hiding himself in an ice column, he fills in with Ray and turns on the magic sword again.
　But what we're going to do this time is not an easy-to-understand attack, like firing multiple ice poles.

(Take this blow. You'll be surprised then.)

　Through a blow from a magical sword, cold air passes through the opponent's weapon, giving him a feeling of coldness.
　A serious attack could mimic a further ice attack from a cut point -- or that was a common practice for Egusolis -- but this time it was a mock battle.
　Therefore, as the second best measure, I decided to surprise the other person with coldness.
　That said, it's not the first time Egus has used it, it's a familiar tool.
　When a person's weapon suddenly cools down, he or she stops moving for a moment... in some cases for a second.
　Usually, that's nothing to worry about, but the moment you're fighting like this is huge.
　That's enough to make it so easy to win in that instant.
　That is why Egusolis thought he could leave enough room to win without inflicting fatal injury on his opponent. . . .

"Oops!"

　The moment he thought the wielded sword had been received by Ray's twilight spear, he was struck hard, and Egusolis had blown through the air.
　It just blew away... but it was Egusolis, nicknamed the Ice Blade, who managed to land on the edge of the stage.
　If this had been an ordinary adventurer, he would definitely have collapsed to the ground without landing.
　But... still, Egusolis is limited to landing on the edge of the stage... the next moment he kneels on the ground, and the movement makes him faintly off the stage.

"That's it! Winner Ray!"
"What!"

　Egusolis stands up from a falling position in an instant, but when he recovers, the host man's voice rings and cries out in surprise.
　Why? Egusolis tries to scream so... but when he hits his knees, he realizes that his body... exactly the knee-to-knee foot is coming out of the stage.
　You're knocked to the ground, and you're defeated when you get off the stage.
　Remembering that rule, he exhales loudly to calm down his emotions.

"My loss...?"
"Oh, and I'm the winner."
"...is it fair to think it was a good game?"

　Egusoris stands up and asks Ray.
　Ray nods back as he looks at Exoris.

"Well, I'm sure we had enough fun as a mock game."
"Well, then, I'll think that's all right."

　Ray says nothing more as he watches Egus say so in agreement with Ray's words.

(I'm sure he was strong, but... he's definitely inferior to Rellieu, who's nicknamed for his speed. But this is a mock battle. As long as it's not a real battle, he might be hiding all his strength.)

　Ray remembered Lerieu, an adventurer with the nickname of the wind who attacked the dungeon together a little while ago.
　Even if they have the same nickname, their abilities will inevitably differ.
　That being the case, it was no use regretting it a little bit.
　Ray, however, was the same in the sense that he was not showing his true ability.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

　The host man's voice echoed around him and the audience nodded in agreement.
　...and the next one to have a mock battle with Ray.
　The mock battle between Ray and Egusolis was this much of a showdown.
　Then, of course, you'll want the next mock battle to be as flashy as it is now.
　However, it was because they had a different name that they could have fought, and it was impossible for them to have the same kind of fight.
　I am deeply envious of those who fought before Egusolis.
　That's how Egusoris walks by the adventurers after a mock battle with Ray.

"You're the next one... Well, he's notorious. You can fight with the intention of training him."When Egus says so, adventurers complain that they don't have to fight so loud, but they don't say it.
　After all, it's because of our lack of ability.

"Here we go,"

　One of the adventurers muttered, and the others, each armed with a weapon, went on the stage.
　When I faced Ray on stage... strangely enough, I felt the impatience that was inside me was gone.

(Perhaps the words of the ice blade were in anticipation of this.)

　The man... and the friends around him feel that he can test his strength in the face of Ray, the Ray.
　As Egusolis said earlier, it seems to me that training is done by a notorious person.
　In fact, it's very fortunate to have a different name trained, and it's not that easy to do under normal circumstances.
　It's a different story if you do something like a nomination request, but that's what happens, and you need a lot of compensation for training.
　With that in mind, this request is only for themselves, because they can get money from the nobility and fight mock battles with notoriety.

"The next thing that came out was... Oops, the blade of moonlight, a Rank C party with a reputation for ability! This looks promising!"

　Listening to the host's words, I think the adventurer's man... the leader of the moonlight blade... is a little too much of a force inside.
　We don't think that our abilities are low at all.
　That's illustrated by the status quo of the Rank C party.
　But... if you ask me if I can fight as well or better as Egusolis, I can't nod.
　I realize that I'm still looking forward to a mock battle with a notorious person.
　I'm a little surprised that I feel completely different from before.
　We didn't think we could beat Ray, but we were in the mood to fight to the fullest extent.

"Then a mock battle... Here we go!"

　With the words, the men on the edge of the moon act.
　As far as Ray has been concerned, he often gives up the initiative.
　There is a feeling that they are being underestimated, but considering the differences in ability between them, I quickly agree that this is only natural.
　There was a feeling that if Ray attacked them all at once from the start of the mock war, they would undoubtedly be trampled down unilaterally without being able to do anything.
　It's been a few years since we had the same party, so we all know what we need to do without giving instructions.
　Two men, one with a dagger and the other with a halberd, step forward, and draw bows from behind.
　The arrows shot as a matter of course draw a trajectory that prevents them from hitting their comrades.
　But... Ray cuts such an arrow off easily with a death-size sword and deals with the enemy who is closing in on him.

(Not only bows, but also spears and daggers... There were combinations of spears and daggers, but is this popular?)

　Thinking this way, Ray plays Harbard's blow with his twilight spear and avoids the dagger's blow by moving his body slightly.
　However, it's not that difficult to lead to the next action, as the man with the dagger was only easily averted.
　Immediately the man led to another action, and tried to attack Ray...

"Dumb!"

　As soon as I try to move, I'm hit in the body by a death-size stonemate.
　The man with the halberd, with the returning blade -- which is exactly the handle -- also knocks off, and the two arrows shot as if to pierce the gap with the spear of the twilight.
　The arrow was shot almost at the same time, but Ray, with his left hand holding the spear of twilight, succeeded in dealing with it almost at the same time... and the mock battle ended with the two using the bow as weapons and the spear of death and twilight.
