Me, Agate, Cat, Claude.
About 20 minutes have passed since the four decided to let the adventurers they have raised fight.
"There are five members per party going to the mock. The use of blades is a pear. The time limit is 10 minutes. Let someone at the enemy party say 'I'm here', or by the judgment of the referee, decide to win or lose."
Aguito repeated what he had decided in the last 20 minutes.
The number of participants was to be limited to five, as the number of participants could be five or six depending on the party.
Also, since this is only a simulated battle, wooden swords, tree arrows, etc., are used.
As for the time limit, there was also an opinion that it was not necessary to set it.
However, the fact that there was such a tie could be a more intense battle made it a point of hiring.
As for how to decide winning or losing, this will be the drop.
Preferably simple.
"The first battle is between my party and Singh's. The referee will be served in the waterfall."
"Leave it to me."
I got Agate's gaze and Neko came forward.
The first referee was set on Nekonya.
For the sake of fairness, neither I nor Agate will be judged by the parties.
So the referee will mean Neko Nha or Claude.
That's where Neko is chosen, well, that's fair.
"The second fight was a party in the waterfall and a party in Claude. I'll be the judge."
I have no objection to the fact that the referee of this mock fight is Agate.
Agate's better than I am, 'cause he's going to bring down the exact Judge.
I can watch the game purely.
"Yo! My arm's ringing!
"Yes...... let's go as usual!
"………………"
"I'll beat the magic of light with the first must-win!
"Yeah, I thought earlier, but Leah's gonna be a good healer in the back,"
Looking back, Kiss, who looked like a warrior man, was preparing for battle.
I'm worried that some of them are going to ignore team play, but all of them, they're going to be able to fight in full swing.
"But is it okay? I'm not an adventurer. I'm in."
"Isn't that nice?
I gave a mild response to Rio, who seemed anxious.
It makes no difference that Rio is also the Earthly I'm raising.
Besides, I've decided that there are five members to participate in the mock, and if Rio doesn't leave, I'm in a bit of trouble.
Of course, I'm not forcing you.
Rio also seemed to have only seen the question he had just raised to the point of confirmation.
"Sin. are you ready"
Agate called out to me.
Looks like the team over there is ready to fight.
Are there... five swordsmen, warriors, knights, monks and magicians?
Usually warriors and knights are shields.
But the knight is just a spear, he doesn't have a shield.
Something like shield and attacker?
"I couldn't do everything I could because I was running just now, don't say that?
"Naturally. Don't lick the adventurer I worked out."
When I slammed my mouth lightly, Agate snorted "Humph" just to say it was out of her heart.
"Besides, these guys are all, kingdom trooper aspirations. As adventurers, they have a proven track record of combat, and none of them are so weak that they are about to become soldiers of the country."
Kingdom-soldiers aspire?
Well, then surely, the daily motivation would be different from that of a normal adventurer.
That's why I don't know if I can beat the Kisses unless I try.
"That's about it for the chat, and it's time to start. Ryumiya Temple and Ichinose stand down."
"Oh, okay"
"Judge, I asked you, Falls"
Following Catni's instructions, we moved to an unobstructed position in the simulation.
"... then, Ryumiya Temple Party vs. Ichinose Party. Start mock warfare!
Thus began a simulated battle between the Kisses and the Agate Party.
"... let me take the lead!" Shut up "!
Rio on a horse activated Taunt (Town) skills at the same time as the start of the simulated battle.
Taunt (Town) skills can draw the attention of creatures who are forward.
That works for people, too, somewhat.
All Agito teams should be strongly aware of Rio.
If I wanted to attack non-Rio members in my current state, it would disturb my concentration considerably.
"Hey, what! Let me fight Taunt with Taunt!" Shut up "!
A warrior-style man belonging to Agate Party also activated 'Shuut', in the wake of a one-tempo delay from activating Rio's skills.
I thought this would come over there too.
Taunt skills should be used as a priority.
… well, there are things that should be activated before that.
"'Area Protection'!" Area Blessing "!
"Eh! 'Area Protection'!" Area Blessing "!
Agate party monks activated the range buff (enhancement) magic skills, and Liana followed suit.
Originally, it is the Stone that buffs first and then provokes.
This time, however, the order was reversed because Rio took the lead.
Did Rio go into these moves when he saw that Liana had no way to buff him?
Are you nervous, Liana is very restless right now.
That's a reflection later.
The other team also reversed the order in which they activated their skills because of the rush they saw Rio move.
I see a warrior man. I'm afraid of Agate's gaze.
That's a reflection party later, too.
"'Powered'! Come on, man!
Kiss activated her Attack Up skill, stood in front of the warrior man, and waved her sword.
Are you going to be square here?
But......
"Humph! Looks like you're still only that powerful with a wooden sword!
Weapons used in mock warfare are strictly forbidden with blades.
So Kiss's sword is also a wooden practice sword.
Too light for a wooden sword to break through a warrior's defense wearing heavy equipment.
"Sweet!
"'Fireball'!
As Kiss flew and pulled, the ball of flame flew without getting her hair in between.
The fireball was created by Emma and hit the belly of a warrior man.
Weapons were strictly forbidden, but magical associations were not restricted.
Because magic is a treatment with skill, and if you can't tie it, the sorcerer won't be able to be active.
Instead, there was a limit of only one magician per party.
There's only one magician at our party, so it's more of a wish or a fulfillment.
"Gu......!... That's quite a collaboration... I didn't know you'd poke my gap"
The warrior man praised the Kisses, even as he raised his distressed voice.
Indeed, the collaboration was brilliant now.
As for Rio's provocation, it was only with the help of Kiss that the warrior man made a gap.
The timing of Kiss falling back and Emma releasing 'Fireball'.
The fact that those two timings were perfect is highly appreciated.
I'm looking at you two as impressed by the referee's cat.
"If it's magic, you can't lose this one!" Iceball "!
Inspired by Emma's magic, a magician man belonging to the Agito team unleashed the ice magic 'Iceball'.
The target is Kiss.
Apparently, Rio's provocation hadn't even reached the rear guard position where the magician's man was.
But it's not enough to worry about.
"I'm already used to seeing magic like that!
Kiss avoided the ball of ice without difficulty.
Kiss now has the instantaneous power to easily dodge a single shot of magic.
This is the result of training in Alfheim.
"Damn...... not yet!" Firebo...... GUH!?
Again, a wooden arrow struck the sorcerer who was about to unleash the magic.
Is it Kuri who released the arrow?
Quite a hit accuracy.
If we can keep inhibiting the sorcerer's man's attacks like this, it'll be pretty hard over there.
"Hey! Do something about that archer!
"I know!
You saw Kuri as a threat, and a swordsman man and a knight man ran over her.
"Let it be!
Looks like Rio has detected a rear guard crisis and runs his horse toward the two men.
There was also a difference in legs and I caught up quickly.
"Out of the way! Out of the way!"
"What kind of shield do you have when you ask me to step aside?
You're right.
The shield is a wall and a numb.
"But can we put them together at the same time?
"Ugh..."
The situation is one-on-two.
Rio is more on the horse, but if that allows him to deal with two enemies, he's not.
The swordsman could be stopped, but the knight pulled him out.
"They're pulling it out! Brother! What are you doing!
Before Emma and Cooli, Liana stood.
In addition to the scepter that enhances the healing magic effect, Liana is also equipped with a shield to protect herself.
That shield is comforting because it can also be used to protect the rear guard in times of need.
"Good courage! Ma'am! 'Power Thrust'!
"Come on!"
A knight man waved his spear skills to Liana.
The power of that attack seemed high, but Liana kicked guard with a shield, so it's intact.
"'I dedicate my sleeping mana as a sacrifice... to the reason of the devil, and I do not produce here now the bonfire of the Red Lotus... Hellflame'!
And to the knight man, the magic of fire that Emma specializes in poured down.
Magic is user-friendly in combat compared to magic that can be activated quickly because of its long chanting time.
But magic has the advantage of being able to activate powerful attacks.
There was a slight respite until the knight man approached.
Has Emma used that time to unleash the most powerful attack she can use?
Good decision.
"Gu..."
The knight's man swallowed by the whirlpool of flames knelt as he raised his distressed voice.
There's nothing else in my life, but unless I do healing magic, I won't have the power to fight in this mock fight anymore.
You saw Emma's firepower sweetly.
"Come on! Now it's time for the Swordsman to fall down! Let me show you my light magic!
"So Leah should stay back!
"Kiss, heel you more than that! Mr. Liana!"
Some of the sides are just a little sweet.
But the adventurers I've raised +1 were steadily stronger.
That's what I thought as I watched the Kisses fight.
"... Until then!
Ten minutes have passed since the simulation began.
As a result, the referee was signaled the end of the simulated battle.
"The victory party is...... SIN PARTY!
"All right! We won!
Hearing Neko's judgment, Kiss raised her voice of joy.
That's a reasonable decision.
It was big enough at the beginning that I was able to render the knight man of the Agate team incapable of combat, and the war situation was dominated by the Kisses.
Well, even though there have been four of us on the way, Agate Party, who stubbornly fought through the rest of the time, should be praised enough.
"... lose, or"
Agate groaned and turned to me.
"Don't do it quite, Sin. That's the adventurers you raised."
"Thank you. The Adventurers of Agate were strong too."
And me and Agate honored each other's parties.
"... but I still can't forgive you for losing. For the rest of the month, I'm gonna die crazy and I'm gonna work out those guys."
"The more..."
The loss seems to have set Agate's heart on fire.
I don't know... don't die, Agate party adventurers.
"Let's just say that. The mock fight between my party and Singh's is over, so let's move on to the next mock fight."
When Agate said so, Neko's party confronted Claude's.
"All the parties on my side are women. But it's useless."
"I know. Hopefully, I don't want to see women get hurt either."
Apparently, both teams are ready.
"... All right, then, Falls Party vs. Claude Party, start the mock!
Thus, there was also a mock fight between Cat and Claude Party.
With those mock wars, we each learned the strength of the adventurers we had raised.
That made it clear that Agate and the others were also working hard where I didn't know.
Also, this mock fight seems to have been a good stimulus to the Kisses.
From the day they finished the mock war, those guys showed more concentration and strength than ever before in hunting and training.
- And another month passed since the day we had the simulation.
