925 Episode 0925



Days after Ray began teaching mock warfare at the military academy, four-year S-class students were still heading to the gymnasium.

"Oh... I don't like it." Is it a mock game against Ray again today? I heard that if you get it right, you'll get the best evaluation for the mock game class, but I don't think you'll get it right no matter how you do it."
"Yes, I've made so many attacks before, but no one even scratched them. Is he really a human being? He's definitely something other than a human being."
"Well, most of the time, you knock down an arrow that flies from behind with a spear without looking at it. What do you mean by attacking from the blind spot?"
"I understand. But that's an arrow for a long-range attack, and that's not enough. If I attack you with a dagger, you'll immediately go over the counter."
"If you say that, what happens to me when I try to use magic?" If you're chanting, you'll come in as soon as soon as you're singing. If the avant-garde had kept me safe, I might still be able to do something with magic."

 When the typical wizard-dressed student, wearing a robe and carrying a cane, complains, the other students who heard it--mainly avant-garde--said discontentedly.

"Don't be silly about that. You're so short that you can't hit the attack, but you can move as fast as you can, if you try to stop it, you'll slip through it in no time."
"Yes, I envy you for your quickness. I want to learn from him as a warrior."
"No, I'm sure you're not just a warrior. You didn't use magic in the mock battle."
"Magic? I see. Being famous for crimson isn't a warrior's skill, it's magic. And the Gryphon.'
"Gryphon... what is a Rank A monster like?" I'd like to see it once."
"Oh, it's a Rank A monster, isn't it? It only smells like trouble."
"I'm sorry, too. Most of them are rank A monsters, or even professional."

 I was waiting for the four-year class S students who entered the gymnasium, arguing like that...

"Gurling!"

 It was Seto's appearance, delighted to be able to move freely outside the stable for the first time in a long time.
 Seto has grown considerably over the past two years, and his body, which used to be about two meters long, has now grown to about two meters long.
 The sudden sight of a Gryphon of that size made no wonder the movements of the forty students stiff.

"Glu?"

 What? What's wrong with you? A set of people who leaned their heads.
 It was an adorable gesture to those who knew Seto's character and loveliness, but to the students who saw the existence of the glyphon for the first time, it seemed as if they were staring at him.
 Ray, standing beside Sett, as if he were the first to open his mouth to the four-year S-class students who stopped moving with astonishment, fear, and awe.

"You're here. I'll have Seto help me with today's mock game, as you can see. There may be a lot of fears about being a glyphon, but don't worry about it. Seto is basically a friendly fellow, and unless he is really hostile, he won't be attacked."
『……』

 Ray explains, but the students are far from listening.
 I was so upset that I could have panicked on the spot if I didn't do well.
 Still, the reason why they didn't panic in earnest was that Ray looked as if he hadn't moved at all, that Sett had rubbed his head against him, and that Grink, their own teacher, had not moved much.
 Grink looked unusually surprised when he first saw Ray bring Seto.
 I had no choice but to be convinced when I heard from Erinde that she had received a firm permission.

(And...)

 One of the students turns his eyes to the edge of the gym.
 The one there was Samaroon.
 He watched Seto with an excited look on his face.
 Samaroon is interested in magic, but he is also very interested in Seto because he is Ray's follower.
 Such figures prevented the students from panicking.
 Although many people didn't even realize that Samaroon was in the corner of the gym.

"Well, I was going to have a five-man team play a mock game with Sett as usual."

 with a start
 When the students hear Ray's words, they snarl reflexively.  
 It's only natural that four-year-old S-class students are mostly as good as Rank E adventurers.
 So what Ray just said is to challenge the Gryphon of the Rank A monster with five Rank E adventurers.
 Not very much, but it was beyond what the cadets could do.
 But if I were to say that, the mock battle with Ray, who has the ability to contend with a Rank S adventurer, was quite significant...but he was probably human in appearance.

"A little..."

 One of the students almost screams involuntarily, but Ray says again to block it.

"But there was an opinion from Grink that it would be too much."

 At Ray's words, the students turn their eyes to Grink in gratitude.
 However, the person who received that kind of stare has some mixed feelings on his face.
 However, the students' mixed glances of relief froze again at what Ray said.

"Besides, I went to the first class in this class in mock games one by one by one.

 Are all the students told to fight against the Gryphon by themselves? All the students are thinking about it, and their faces change to blue or white.
 That's true of the aristocratic students who are proud of themselves and who never recognize Ray as superior to them, especially Insula, who fought him first.

"But Grink stopped it, too. So, as a result of our discussion, we ended up fighting against all four-year S-classes."

 The students who heard Ray's words let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, all of them... five, let alone one." Then I'll do something about it..."
"Well, yes," I think we can manage with this number of people."

 At what the students said, Ray smiled as if only the edge of his lips were bent.
 Make an oversized demand first, and then make a few concessions when surprised to see it through.  
 It's a worn-out, cliche-like approach, but the first time I brought a Rank A monster called Gryphon, I was so shocked that it turned out to be Ray's way of developing.
 Then Ray opens his mouth before the students come back to life.

"I don't know if anyone knows, but Seto is not just a glyphon, but a rare species. Normally, I can use many skills, but this time I'm going to do away with them."
『……』

 Ray's words left the students speechless.
 Even the usual Gryphon is a Rank A monster that you can see once in a lifetime.
 If that Rank A monster becomes even rarer, it's class S in terms of handling.
 Given that, we didn't think we would be able to fight properly.But Ray opens his mouth to these students.

"Well, then I'll do it," Are you ready?"

 What Ray asked, looking at, was Inzura, a student who was related in many ways and easy to nominate.
 He opens his mouth, albeit with an expression of astonishment on his face.

"Here, the others, too, get ready for a mock battle at once and for all." -- what's the matter with you that we don't have to get ready?"

 Still dumbfounded, Ray turns his gaze to a mock warfare basket in the corner of the gym.
 You must have noticed it. The students decide that they can't stop the mock war no matter what more they say, so they rush to pick up arms.  
 Seeing that everyone has their weapons in hand, Ray pats Seto's happy body when he can move for the first time in a long time.

"Well, let's start the mock battle!"
"Roll-rolling.

 With Ray's words, Seto kicks the floor towards the nearest armed students.
 But, armed with arms, the two-foot-long Gryphon darted straight at them.
 It's fair to say that its power is considerable.
 If this had been Ray, we could have done something about it because he was the same human figure as us.
 But if it were the Gryphon that came to me, I would be very upset.

"Oh, wow, oh, oh my gosh,"Oops!"

 The first person who could not stand it was one of the avant-garde men with a long sword in his hand.
 He must have been the first to bump into Seto because he was the avant‐garde, and he couldn't stand the tension.
 swing a mock dagger down to Seto

"Grull!"

 Having avoided the blow by kicking the floor, Seto keeps his distance from the man.
 Originally, he would have fainted if he had received a blow from his forefoot, but in this case, Ray told him not to easily defeat his opponent, so he was watching.

"Can you? I can, they're not serious about it's not serious. I can manage it now!"

 Insula screams, and everyone believes what he says... and attacks Seto with conviction.
 Long swords, spears, harbors, bows, and so on.
 Each makes a desperate attack on Seto.
 It was an attack as if it were an obsession that they would be overthrown at once if they had a little chance to attack their opponents.

(though that's not wrong.)

 Ray mutters inwardly, watching Sett stop Harbard's sidelong blow with his forefeet.
 As you can see from this conversation, it is almost impossible to do effective damage to Seto by the attacks of students attending this military academy.
 Nevertheless, the reason why Seto is fighting with his students is that he wants to reduce his time to interact with them, and that he wants to eliminate his lack of exercise, but most importantly, he wants to avoid confusion when he encounters an enemy that is clearly superior to them.
 Because he understood it, Grink accepted Ray's offer of a mock battle in such a calm manner.

"... that's terrible,"

 Ray shakes his head at the murmur of Grink.

"That's not the case, is it?" Well, I was surprised to see that he had the guts to challenge Seto. I thought some of you might be frightened to run away.
"If you say so, you'll have nothing to praise." -- oh, the first student to strike at Sett."
"Oh, I was near Insula. It was true that he had attacked Sett even if he was broken, and that he had relieved his tension."

 The image of the student who slashed Ray's mind into the set as if it was almost torn is passing.
 ...however, the student was now being scooped up and tripped by Seto's tail in an attempt to wield a long sword.
 On top of that, they blow off with a blow from the back foot.
 No matter how lax you are, Seto's... that's another blow with a magic item that strengthens his stamina.
 There was no way that a single student, let alone a person of a certain skill, could have been attacked and ignored.
 Eventually, the student with the long sword bounces down the floor several times and blows towards the student who is evacuating to the edge, fainting.
 Some have already been hit by Seto, and their standing is nearly halved.

"Glu?"

 a set of voices saying "I'll go!"
 However, Ray is the only one here who can understand what the set is talking about.
 If this is Gilmoo, many people can somehow understand Seto's intentions because Seto is loved by everyone.
 It goes without saying that there are two women who stand apart from others, especially for a set lover.

"Come on, come on! The nobility, don't turn your back on the enemy!"

 Insula tells Seto with a long sword in her hand... she must have judged it to be a signal. Seto kicks the floor in one go and knocks the woman with the bow behind him with a blow of the forefoot, then knocks the man with the spear unconscious with a blow of the hindfoot, and finally wags his tail and plays the long sword from Inzra's hand.
 Insula, who is out of arms in her hand, still tries to resist... but eventually loses consciousness with Seto's blow.
 And... this one-sided development is something that all the other students will experience.
