Accompanied by Seira, I came to the training camp where Elmia was training in swordsmanship.

　When I looked inside...

Come on, come on, get up!　Don't be so hefty like this!

　A dozen or so boys were lying on the ground around Elmia.

　All of them were in shambles.

　What the hell kind of training are you doing?




　Apparently it was done in a one-on-many real battle format, with a dozen or so students working on Elmia alone at the same time.

　By the way, Elmia is holding a wooden sword, but the students are using a serious sword.

　Even so, no attacks reached Elmia at all, and she was able to beat all the students with a single wooden sword, which shows that her fighting sense is not low.

　As expected of a third-tier holy knight.

　No, it's possible that the level of the students is too low - or is it possible that they are too low?

　Since they have passed the entrance examinations, they must have a certain amount of talent regarding magic.

　However, even though only those who wish to participate in Elmia's swordsmanship training, it's unlikely that someone with a natural talent for swords will be here.

　After all, this is a magical academy.


''Whoa!　Sayla, you're here. And Hurt, too.

　Elmia noticed me and Seira watching near the entrance to the training camp.

'Good work, Elmia,'
'Good job. Elmia worked at the academy, too, didn't she?

'Yes, but didn't you say...?'

Yeah. I'm not listening.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about that. I should've gotten my, uh, husband's permission before...

　Hermia, who called me her husband, was red in the face as she said it herself.

　Looks like she's not used to a lot of things yet.
　Well, that's good for a first time.

''It's totally fine that she's working at the academy, since I'm sure she doesn't have time to just do housework in my mansion every day. Also, Tina knows that Elmia works there, right?

'Oh, I've told Lady Tina. She wrote me a letter of recommendation so that I could work in the first place.

　Elmia called Tina and the rest of the family by their honorific titles, but I was the only one who called her by them.

　It's not that there's anything wrong with that.

　According to Seira, it's Elmire's way of hiding her embarrassment. That's just the way it is, I think it's kind of cute.

I'm sure you'll have no problem with that.

　As long as Tina knows everything, it should be fine.

　If you leave it to my overly capable personal maid, she can handle most things.


Instructor Elmia who are those people?

　One of the boys stood up, using his sword as a support.

'Oh, you're up at last. Let me introduce you to him. He's what I always say he is, a veritable monster who can beat me at level 160 without using any magic at all.

What?　He did, did he?　Those robes are only sophomores, aren't they?

　The student looked at me with an astonished expression.

　No, what kind of introduction is that!
　Do you always describe me as a monster?

Oh, yeah!　If we all here fight Hurt with everyone here, and one of us gets a shot at Hurt, we'll take that meal you guys were talking about.

""Really?

　All the students who had fallen down looked up.

''........Elmia, what do you mean by food?''

'These guys have been pestering me for dinner. They said they would be willing to go out with me if I got a shot at them in training. Only, to this day, no one has ever done it.

　That's not a good idea if you're dealing with a level 160 Holy Knight.

''We're just going to hit him with an attack, right?''
'Whoa!　I'm going to do it!
I don't want to take Instructor Hermia seriously, but a man can do better than that.
"I'll kill you, baboon. I'm gonna kill you!　For a date with Instructor Elmia!

　Something, all the students were willing to do it.
　No, they were going to kill me.

　I didn't say I was going to do it.

　Well, since I don't want my wife, Hermia, to date another man, and I don't want Hermia to be followed around by them, I'll deal with them for once here.

''Master Hurt, are you really going to deal with them?''

'Yeah. I just wanted to know how good the students here are, too.

　He had never crossed swords with another class of students in this school. So I figured this would be a valuable opportunity.

''Seira, please give them some recovery magic.

Well is that all right?

Yeah. Because I want to feel the best of them.

　It was no use beating a student who was wounded in full force after being beaten by Elmia and who stood up with only his energy.

''I understand. Well then...

　Just like in the first aid station, Seira's Divine Breath was activated inside the training camp.

'Oh, oh my!
It's amazing how much energy she has left in her body.
We'll get it done, we'll get it done!
''Thank you, lady over there!

　Everyone's morale rose even higher.

'Thank you, Seira, for the students' recovery. Now then, let me explain the rules. First of all, all of you who are participating in my training are free to use any body strengthening magic. Other offensive magic is forbidden. And you, Halt, are not allowed to use any body-enhancing magic either.

　It's a rule that would normally be impossible, but body enhancement magic doesn't make sense to me anyway.

''I get it. That's fine.

　So I agreed to that rule and received the wooden sword from Elmia.

　My gain is this one.

　The students of Elmia also seemed to have no problem with the rules and began to cast physical strengthening spells on themselves and their friends.


　After that, a total of seventeen male students surrounded me with their weapons at the ready.

　It looks like they're ready to go.
　I'm okay too, so I'll let Elmire know.


''Then let's begin!''

f*ck you!

　At the same time as Elmia's signal, the boys to my right diagonally in front of me slashed at me while raising their voices.

　But this is a decoy.

　My ears caught the sound of the blade coming from my left rear.

''Yo.''

　I bend down a little and avoid the attack of the student who was closing in behind me.

Wha?　Huh?

　The student who had avoided the attack had stopped moving in surprise, so I kicked him in the pigeon tail.

　Yes, one first.


　The fact that he can shake off the seriousness without hesitation towards others is probably the result of Elmia's training.

　There is no reservation at all.
　Besides, it's quite well coordinated.

　Is it because I was training with Elmia, who has an overwhelming status difference, that this happened?

　With that in mind, I slam my wooden sword into the arm and ankle of the first student who slashed at me.

　I'm using his momentum as he pounces on me, so even with my level 1 status, I can produce enough power.

　Since Seira (the walking hospital) is here, I won't have to hold back either.

　A dull sound resounded with a bogey.
　The student who was incapacitated and sank to the spot.

　Yes, the second one.
　There are fifteen people left.



　Along with the memories of my time as a guardian hero, my battle experience and skills have been returned to me.

　The experience of fighting more than ten thousand demons has helped me to master a number of techniques.

　When I was a guardian hero, I was dealing with a crowd of hundreds of demons. You have to keep fighting against such a large number of demons. If you fight them on your own, you will never have the stamina to do so.

　That's why I've mastered the skill of slaughtering demons by using their power to attack me.

　I can pass off an attack and apply it to another enemy.
　Or I would deliberately take the attack and put the power of the attack directly on my sword to defeat the enemy.

　By doing so, he was able to defeat the enemy with almost no power of his own.

　The first is this technique of "flowing" power.


　The second technique is "Discernment.

　Predict the enemy's next move based on the center of gravity, muscle and eye movements.

　Now that you can foresee the enemy's next move, you can also say that you have become able to anticipate the enemy's attack.

　The stronger the enemy's attack is, the stronger my attack will be.

　Moreover, since I can see through the weaknesses that the opponent unconsciously shelters and attack with the power of the enemy's attack on it, I can defeat most of the enemies with a single blow.

　I've slaughtered a wide variety of demons.

　All of the students surrounding me were of the human race. The body of the human race is the same for almost all individuals, and of course the location of the kryptonite is the same.

　Even if they are the same species, they don't have different weaknesses for each individual, like demons do.

　To the extent that it stops the movement of such students (human race), it's not made up.


''What's the matter?　You want to go on a date with Elmira?　Bring it on.

　It's more helpful if you attack me.
　You can use your opponent's power.

　I defeated the rest of the students smoothly, repeating my provocations often.
