Ray and Grink are the only two standing in the gym.
　Everyone else, regardless of gender, is sitting on the floor or collapsing.
　The sweat on their faces was not so much from physical activity as from disbelief that they had lost unilaterally.
　Rather than being tired, it would be right to sit on the floor unable to believe the reality at hand.
　Starting with Inzra, who fought Ray first, Ray fought all 40 students and beat them all.
　It was evident from the way he fought that he was not doing his best.
　Even if the students wielded weapons, it was unusual for the attack to hit Ray with a spear in his hand, let alone Ray.
　Even if the student's weapon hits the spear once in a while, the weapon was entangled in the spear and disappeared from his own hand.
　It was only his weapon that was naturally gone, and Ray's hand was left with a spear in it... before he knew it, he had the tip of his ear in front of him.
　It's so easy to do that that it's a nightmare for those who realize they're the most accomplished students in the four-year S-class and the highest grade.
　No matter how many times some of the students wielded their weapons and played the spear tip in front of them, they were shocked by the fact that the tip of the spear was again pointed at them in the next moment.
　It was because I couldn't understand at all how the spear could move to do such a thing like that's because I couldn't understand it.
　Many people were confident in their abilities.
　However, many people realized that such confidence is only within the military academy, and that once they step out of the military academy, they will never be as good as they thought.

"Well, Mr. Ray. I can't believe I'm going to fight this many men. Honestly, I didn't think it was this much."

　Ray responded to the polite compliments that came out of Grink's mouth by shaking his head.

"It's not worth mentioning," There are still many strong men in the world. I still don't have enough strength to deal with him. -- more than that."

　Stop talking to Grink, and Ray's gaze turns to the stunned students sitting on the floor.
　It's somewhat ridiculous to be directed at such students.

"Did you really think you could beat me? Well, I don't have Seto, and I don't have the death size of my favorite weapon, so I can't think so. I'm still a Rank B adventurer. I can't struggle with that chick."

　All the students who listened to Ray's words bite their teeth.
　It doesn't matter whether you're lying down or sitting on the floor.
　As if it were only natural for the snow to pile up, it seems as if it is natural for me to win.
　Frustration abounded in their hearts, some of whom had feelings close to hatred of Ray.
　Ray is inwardly impressed to see such students.

(Oh! Is there not a single person who has been so one‐sidedly beaten and broken? There are differences in emotions, but it's the elite here that no one is going to drop out.)

　You may be reluctant to lose. Or pride, or many others. All forty of them stood there with their hearts unyielding.

(This might make you quite strong. This request was close to killing time, but it might be quite interesting to try it like this.)

　Ray smiles at the students who tell him that even if they lose the game, they will never lose.
　I thought it was an interesting smile to the students, but it was a fierce smile to the students.
　Maybe we've got something wrong? A smile that makes us think that way for a moment.
　The next moment proved that the impression was correct.

"Well, I'm excited. What I just did was a one-on-one battle with all of them, and then I changed my mind a little."

　What's next word from Ray's mouth?
　While such thoughts are in the students, Ray says with a smile as his gaze turns to him.

"I and all of you," It's one-to-forty."

　For a moment, not to mention the students, even Grink couldn't understand what Ray had said.
　Ray was the first to say something that smelled like it, but he probably didn't expect it to be serious.
　Naturally, the first person to come back to life was Grink, the instructor.

"Are you serious, Ray? Needless to say, if you have 40 people, the trouble will increase."
"No problem. I'm going to do not just one-on-one, but many-on-many, one-on-many, many-on-one, so you can think of it as a preparatory lesson."
"... I see. Well, Mr. Ray has been through a lot of hardships. It goes without saying that."

　Ray shakes his head from side to side as he bows his head slightly.
　Then I looked back at the students from the glink, where I saw them recovering from their earlier loss of confidence.

"Don't be silly... you're dealing with us all!"
"You certainly lost one by one... but do you really think you can do something about this number of course.
"He's younger than me, but I've already given up the word compassion."
"Calm down, boys," In the first place, crimson is said to have killed a large army of the Westian Empire alone in last spring's war. In other words, they are better at fighting against many people than they used to be."
"But!"
"Oh, I could use great magic in a big place outside. Besides, he doesn't have the gryphon or scythe that's rumored to be. In other words, crimson is not enough."
"...but you saw the battle, right? You've experienced it, right? You've tasted it. If they're not perfect, they're just not good enough?"
"But I'm going to do it! Can you lick me up to that point and leave me alone!? We... the best of us in this military academy!"
"Yes, in fact, crimson is definitely superior to us in this situation. But that doesn't mean there's no chance of winning. Even if you say it's crimson, it doesn't change that he's a single person after all. In other words, there is only one eye."
"Yes! Then attack from the blind spot behind!"
"Oh, I think this attack will be effective enough."

　That kind of talk was naturally audible to Ray.
　It's not difficult for Ray, who has five senses greater than the average human being.
　But while talking to Grink, he gives his students the freedom to speak without saying anything.
　And after about ten minutes...

"Now, are you ready?"

　With a mock war spear in his hand, Ray talks to the students.
　There is a lot of provocative color in the gaze, which further motivates the students.
　All 40 students carry mock warfare weapons in their hands.
　The students' faces are full of hostility, rivalry, cornered expressions, combative spirit, self-deprecation, smiles...
　However, there is no sign of resignation there.
　win over Ray to admit themselvesWith that much thought in mind, I stand before Ray.
　hold a spear in one's hand at the students who show their readiness and attitude.

"Well, let's get started. Show me your paws. What do you do when you meet a powerful enemy? It must be necessary for you, who will be knights and adventurers."
『……』

　What Ray said was silent.
　However, the atmosphere of the students has nothing to do with giving up.
　Confirming this, Ray nods satisfactorily before turning to Grink.

"Grink, please."
"All right. Please don't cause fatal injuries to the other party."

　It's Ray who, though both sides say, is looking at Grink.
　Naturally, the attention now is directed to Ray, not the students.
　The students are dissatisfied with this, but they don't talk back because they realized the difference in rank in the mock game.
　Rather than that, it was better to catch Ray's eye and find a chance to win.

"Beginning,"

　The moment the words are leaked out of Grink's mouth, the students there start to move in unison.
　Instead of meaninglessly heading towards Ray, everyone moves according to the prearranged arrangement.
　Some hold their bows straight to Ray, and some hold their arrows to support them -- mock war objects with arrowheads curled up -- and some go to positions surrounding Ray.

"There is a great deal of skill in fighting in large numbers."

　Ray told me so, but basically Ray's battles are rarely fought in cooperation with anyone.
　Although he often works with Seto, he will not be able to combine Seto and other adventurers created by witchcraft.
　If you're an ordinary adventurer, there's a big difference in ability between Ray and the adventurer, and Ray has to pay attention to them as well.
　However, when it comes to adventurers who have the ability to work with Ray, they are few.
　As a result, it was rather unusual for Ray to act with other adventurers.

"But, after all, a student. It's still sweet."

　A student who plays the role of a niece receives the blow of a long sword, which he throws directly at himself, with the tip of his spear, and at the same time, passes it away.
　After being attacked along the handle of the spear, the blade of the long sword is entwined, and the long sword is thrown away from the man who was about to wield the long sword diagonally to the right.
　They pull a spear as it is, hit a woman's spear from behind with a thrust, and forcefully change the movement of the spear just by the movement of the wrist to scoop her feet and make her fall to the ground.
　Not only did he let him fall to the ground, but he also fell on the path of the man who was heading for Ray, so the man who was trying to break through Ray couldn't step on the woman and forced her to change her landing point... a momentary delay in her behavior missed Ray's.
　The handle of a halved spear blows the man right to the side and collapses to the ground, involving the man who was at the end of the halved spear.

"What's the matter? Come on more seriously!"

　The words make the students more aggressive, but none of the attacks hit Ray at all.
　No, on the contrary, Ray rarely prevents attacks with a spear in his hand, and most attacks are avoided.
　And if he loosened his offensive hand even a little, he was blown off by a blow from Ray's spear and lost consciousness, and even if he didn't get to that point, the damage was so great that he couldn't stand up.
　Nevertheless, the absence of a fatal blow may be a sign that Ray still has a lot of room to spare time.

"d*mn, attack him more firmly! He's completely played!"

　The first thing to shout is Inzula, who played a mock battle with Ray.
　He has the best ability in the S class, but for Ray it's still only within the margin of error.
　Insula's screaming long sword blade ends by cutting the air without touching Rey, as a matter of course.
　Shake the spear in your hand as you pass by Insula, avoiding the blow of a long sword.
　The part of the stonemate strikes from behind the insla, hits the right shoulder from behind, and then blows forward.

"The rest... six?"

　When I realized it, only six of us were still standing and conscious.
　Having seen Ray's fight in the past, he must have understood again the overwhelming difference in ability. Right now, Ray's eyes don't look at the combative spirit he had when the mock battle started.
　Still, they couldn't give up, and they all agreed that it would be done for nothing and attacked all at once... they were knocked to the ground by Ray's spear, and they lost consciousness or were unable to stand up due to the pain of bruising.

"Well, that's what it is it? ...but you did a lot better than I expected. It's said that he's the best student in this school. ...but, after all, the best of the students. I think I understand that the battle is very different from the actual one. I'll be a little tougher from tomorrow, so think carefully about what's gone wrong today and how to fix it. Tell that to the fainting fellow, too.

　That was the end of Ray's first four-year S-class first day.
　...after that, another class Ray is in charge of, the three-year S class, will offer a similar class, showing the difference in strength.
