『……』

 With the silent gaze of more than a hundred soldiers in front of him, Ray lets out a deep sigh.
 I had promised Carraza that I would train the soldiers, but I thought it was only about ten men because it was a unit.
 But now Ray's eyes are on more than a hundred soldiers.
 Whatever you might think of it, it meant Ray had been naive.
 Carraza, standing to Ray's left, opens his mouth to the soldiers.
 Also, to Ray's right, there is a set, which is probably the reason why he doesn't waste his time talking to the soldiers.

"Everybody is going to have Ray go here for today's training, on a different schedule. I'm sure many of you know about Mr. Ray, who joined us last night, but let me explain again. He is a Rank B adventurer and nicknamed crimson. who, as you can see from his nickname and the Gryphon next to him, inflicted great damage on our army in the Spring War."

 The remark slightly frowns on some of the soldiers in front of Ray and Carruther's eyes.
 Ray thinks to himself that he must have lost an acquaintance in the Spring War, but that he doesn't have to say anything here...

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray," But by telling them in this way in front of them, we can prevent some strange trouble from taking place later."

 It was a man in his 40s standing behind Carraza who told him so in a low voice that Ray could be heard by Ray.
 Although his physique itself seems to be well-trained, he is still a man who, on a simple level, is only as strong as a soldier or a knight. But the truth is that he is a substantial commander in charge of the forces that Carruther has led.
 He has served in Carrut's family, the Earl of Glato, for generations, and is also an inspector of the rebels.
 The Earl's family, however, proclaimed that Carrut had left without his permission, and that they would not be concerned if they were to die in the civil war. In addition, as the first princess of Fritzione, she cooperated with him, and took steps to make sure that either of them would win.
 Of course, Carraza is nothing but insurance, as long as he professes that he won't be involved in death.
 In that regard, the same goes for the other two families who challenged Ray with Carraza, who, like Carraza, have been sent in attendance with both an inspector, a bodyguard and an actual commander.

"I don't really care," I was prepared for that when I came to the Empire of Bestia, and above all, it would be better if I were so explicitly hostile than targeted by the assassins."

 The word "assassin" briefly opens his eyes to surprise him, but soon he is convinced. It is true that if he did so well by himself that he could determine the future of the war, he would be hated by many.

"Is that so?" ...I would like to thank you on behalf of Mr. Carruther for taking on this training. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Well, Mr. Carruther must have caused you a lot of trouble, but I hope you won't be too offended."

 The man who identified himself as Saja is well aware of his character, as he can be attached to Carraza.
 In particular, knowing that Carraza is attracted to Vichela's beauty, it is only natural that Ray and Carraza, who are said to be close friends with Vichela, collide with each other.

"It certainly caused some trouble, but that doesn't mean I had such a bad experience." I understand that if you show your ability, you'll just have to understand it properly. I think that's why he came to train with me like this way."
"...thank you,"

 While Ray and Saja were having a conversation like that, Carraza's speech continued, and eventually he was excited. shout at the soldiers

"The enemy is the Imperial army, and the number is overwhelming. But don't be afraid! We have Mr. Vihela. And there's Ray, who's called crimson! So long as that's the case, it shouldn't be possible for us to lose. ...but there are still as many elite soldiers as we know. At the same time, some adventurers employed by the Imperial Army will be nicknamed. When you face someone like that, can you do nothing?"

 Carraza's words baffle the soldiers listening.
 Of course we don't want to die quietly. But what can you do with someone who has a different name?
 Carruther waved her words loudly to ease the anxiety of these soldiers.

"No! Absolutely no! But it's also true that if you meet someone like that on the battlefield without any countermeasures, there's nothing you can do about it. In order to respond appropriately to this situation, Lady Ray, nicknamed crimson, came to deal with us. so that we may all thank you!"

 The words spread the air and the soldiers' eyes turned to Ray.

"Say something, Mr. Ray."

 Ray hesitated for a moment when Carruther told him that, but he took a step forward to train anyway.
 ...and somehow even Seto, who was next to Ray, walked out with him, and the soldiers took a few steps back without thinking, but that was inevitable.
 A glance at such soldiers, Ray slowly opens his mouth.

"This is Ray, a Rank B adventurer. As Carraza said earlier, many of the Imperial army would have had great power. When you encounter someone like that, do you stop moving... or don't you stop moving? That's a clear difference between your lives. I hope you will realize this through training with me."

 Ray told me so, but inside he laughed so bitterly that he couldn't help laughing.
 He spoke big to the soldiers, but when he first met Noise, he was also desperate to disguise the sweat that oozed on his palm. Or if you encounter Grimm, who is also rich.
 For some reason, the words seemed unconvincing unless they had been able to carry out what they were saying.
 But... Carraza opens his mouth with an expression of overwhelming emotion, perhaps because he perverted Ray's mood.

"You hear, boys," That's what Mr. Ray has told me. Be sure to live up to the expectations. I'll be trained with you, so let's overcome the barriers together."
"Yes!"

 soldiers responding in unison to Carruther's words.
 While watching the situation, I wonder if this is all right.
 But the story goes on as if to leave Ray alone.

"Separate your troops, then." Sir Ray, please."

 Carruther's words and, at least, Ray's. After hearing these two, even if you have any feelings for Ray, you may have decided to leave it aside for now, but your gaze softens slightly and you stand in front of him.
 The number of soldiers divided by each unit varies slightly, but is roughly ten.
 Ray saw that the ten men who first came out in front of him were determined not to back down, but to lose.
 But...

(Then... it's still not enough.)

 mutter, invoke the armour of the hegemonic king with the meaning of a kind of oppression.
 Roaring! Despite doing nothing, the pressure coming from Rey made people feel... like a near death.
 No, it's not just pressure. The magic, compressed enough to be visualized, can be seen in the field of view of soldiers, carruthers, or other soldiers watching around.
 No one was more aware of it, but the ground under his feet had been destroyed like a crack around Ray.
 an irreversible death That's all I can feel when I see Ray now.
 All the soldiers and carruthers in front of Ray could do was to stay still and conscious.
 Even Serja, who was nearby as Karaza's inspector, has not been able to move an inch from the spot.
 Moreover, those who had the ability to feel the magic in their positions had either suddenly lost consciousness, or were huddled like children frightened by ghosts, but fortunately Ray never knew it.
 Only Seto doesn't seem particularly concerned about Ray's appearance, but instead lies on the ground and looks at him as usual.

「……」He glances at those in front of him, unable to move silently, and takes a step forward.
 In fact, this alone controlled Ray's magical powers quite precisely.
 Even so, Ray's immaturity may be the reason why he doesn't activate the armor of the hegemony just inside his body like noise.

(That's my limit.) Even so, it is not possible to put the armor of the hegemony in the body.)

 Compared to fighting the bandits before coming to this position, the range of visibility is certainly smaller. Even so, the noise is clearly not as high as it should be.

(I don't know how much detailed magical control can be needed to do that. I don't care if I look like that...)

 If anything, the noise of a powerful face, and the precision of it... muttering inwardly, feeling something out of keeping with the magic control technology that could even be described as artistic, takes a step forward.
 In addition, unlike when he fought against robbers, at this point he had consumed a considerable amount of magical power—a common wizard would have consumed all his magical power, and would have dried up and died—but in that respect Ray was able to move without any problems by using his enormous magical power.
 with a pinch
 The moment your feet touch the ground, the ground sinks in with such a noise.
 I didn't seem to have put any effort into it, but this is what it is all about.
 At first glance, it can be understood that it was due to Ray's own strong power, but it was also a sign that he was not able to control his magical powers when using the armor of the hegemony.
 He frowns slightly at the appearance... when he sees soldiers including Carruther unable to breathe, he releases the armor of the hegemony.
 In an instant, the Carruthers dented to the ground and exhaled violently, greatly out of breath even for the soldiers watching around them.
 And when he noticed the approaching signs from his position, he saw Vihela in her usual light clothing, and there were some of these rebels, like Gurgast and Theorem, who were confident in their power.
 The three of them, who were very stern, stopped running when they found out that Ray was ahead of them, with a funny smile on his face, a fierce smile on his face, and a tired smile on his face.

"I thought the enemy had come... was that Ray?"

 In a tone of surprise, the smile on her lips certainly betrayed her feelings.
 Vichela learned a new skill called Imagashou in a short period of time after she broke up with Ray, but her lover Ray had learned more than that.
 Even now, just by looking at it, you can feel Ray's high fighting power, as if you were overwhelmed by the scent of magic, which can be called the remnants of the armor of the hegemonic king.
 Gurgast was not using the skills he didn't show when he fought against him last night... that is, he smiled furiously in anticipation of a more intense battle against him.
 Speaking of Theoreum, Ray, who was already overwhelming, had more power and smiled tiredly at the thought of the coming conflict.
 While looking at the three smiling faces of the three, Ray opens his mouth as he releases the armor of the king.

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"...not all of a sudden, not all of a sudden,"

 At Ray's words, seemingly oblivious to what he has done, Vihela inadvertently changes her smile to a bitter smile before muttering so with her sigh.
 However, it is said that Carruther and his men, who saw the armor of the hegemony up close this time, had no fear of the enemy since then.
 In particular, the soldiers who came into contact with the Heio's armor with Carraza and all of them raised their heads later on.k.a. later.
