Legend

A few days after Ray started teaching mock warfare at the cadet school, the four-year S class students were still on their way to the gym that day.

"Uh... I don't like that. Still mock fight with Ray today? I'm telling you, if you hit one shot, you'll get the highest rating for mock classes, but I don't feel like you can guess how."

"Right. I've attacked many times before, and no one's even scratched me. Is he really human? I don't care what you think, it's something other than human."

"Right. You basically slap down an arrow coming from behind you with a spear without looking at anything? What am I supposed to do if I can't attack from a blind spot?"

"I understand. I understand. But that's a long-range arrow, so it's still okay? If I attack with a dagger, I immediately turn the counter on."

"If I were to say that, what would happen to me when I tried to use magic? As soon as you're chanting, you're coming in. If the avant-garde would protect us, we might still be able to do something with magic."

When a student dressed as a typical wizard, wearing a robe and holding a cane, tells him to be foolish, the other students who were listening to it - mainly the avant-garde system - open their mouths dissatisfied.

"That's the unscrupulous part. Even though it's hard to hit because you're so small, you can move fast like an idiot, right? We're gonna get through this in no time, even if we try to stop it."

"Yes, yes. I envy that quickness, don't you? As the same warrior, I want to apprentice."

"No, you're certainly not just a warrior, you're a magic warrior, right? We don't use magic in mock warfare."

"Magic. That's right. Being famous for his deep red isn't his arm as a warrior, it's magic, isn't it? And Griffon."

"Griffon huh...... I wonder what rank a monster is. I'd like to see it for once."

"Whew. You're a Rank A monster, right? I don't care what you think, you only smell like trouble."

"I'm sorry, too. It's roughly a rank A monster or something."

Waiting for the four-year S-class students who walked into the gym talking like that...

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

It's been a long time since I've been able to move my body freely outside the stables, it was Seto's appearance.

Seto has grown considerably over the past two years, and his body, which used to be about two meters long, is now about two and a half meters long.

I suddenly saw a griffon that size with that eye, so there was no need for the movement of the forty students to solidify.

"Gru?"

Is that it? What's wrong? and a ceto tilting his neck.

It's an adorable trick for those who know Seto's character and adorability, but for those students who first saw the existence of Griffon with their eyes, it just seemed as if they were being stared at.

Ray stands next to Seto, naturally the first to open his mouth to students in the four-year S class who stopped moving with emotions like stunner, fear and awe.

"You've come well. I need Seto to help me with today's simulation, as you can see. Griffon may mean a lot of fear, but don't worry about it. Seto is basically a nostalgic guy, and he won't be attacked in the real sense unless he's really hostile."

……

Ray explains it, but the students are nowhere near hearing it.

I was so upset that I could panic on the spot if I did poorly.

Still, what didn't really panic and make a scene would be that Ray hasn't moved at all the same way as usual, or that Seto is rubbing his head against Ray like that to show how he misses it, and that Grink, who is also our original instructor, hasn't shown how it worked in particular.

Grink also had a rare and big look of surprise when he first saw Ray bring Seto in.

I had no choice but to be convinced that Erinde had asked me to give him firm permission.

(And...)

One of the students turns his gaze to the edge of the gym.

It was Samaroon there.

I was observing Seto with an excited face.

It was a samaroon interested in magic, but I also have a strong interest in Seto because of Ray's obedience.

Thanks to the looks of those teachers, the students never panicked.

Though many did not even realize that Samaraun was in the corner of the gym.

"Well, I was going to have a mock fight with Seto in pairs as usual..."

Vikri, and.

The students who heard Ray speak reflexively.

Naturally. A four-year S class student is roughly the equivalent of a rank E adventurer.

In other words, what Ray just said is equal to challenging Griffon, a Rank A monster, with five Rank E adventurers.

Not very much, but it was beyond what a cadet could do.

If I were to say that the most, the mock battle with Ray, who bends over but has just the strength to work with rank s adventurers, is also considerable... but I guess Ray still had a lot to say that he looked human.

"Hey..."

One of the students is going to scream like that unexpectedly, but Ray releases words again to block it.

"However, the opinion was raised by Grink that that was not much"

To the words out of Ray's mouth, the students turn their gratitude gaze to Grink.

The person with the most such gaze has some complicated thoughts on his face.

But the pupils' soothing gaze froze again at Ray's mouth.

"Besides, it was one mock fight at a time that I did in my first class in this class..."

Could they tell you to fight Griffon alone? The students all think of it like that, and their complexion changes to blue and white.

That's students of aristocratic origin who have high pride as nobles and never want to admit they are superior to themselves even against Ray... especially the first insula to fight Ray.

"It's just that Grink stopped me from doing that too. So after discussing it, we ended up fighting Seto with all four-year S classes"

The students exhale in relief when they hear Ray say something like that.

"Why, all...... not even five, let alone one, all of them. Then we'll figure it out..."

"Oh, yeah. With this number of people, I think I can handle it."

In the words of the students, Ray has a small grin that only bends the edges of his lips.

Make a request that is too big at first and make it look like you made a slight concession to surprise it and pass the original request.

It's a used, cliché kind of method, but it still struck me harder when I first brought a Rank A monster called Griffon, and it developed the way Ray wanted.

And then Ray opens his mouth before the students return to me.

"I don't know if anyone knows, but Seto is a rare species, not just a griffon. I could use some of my skills, but this time I'm going to use them specifically."

……

The students can't say anything to Ray's words.

Even regular griffons are rank A monsters like whether they can be seen once in a lifetime.

If even more rare species are found in that Rank A monster, it will be treated as Rank S.

Given the neighborhood, we didn't think we could fight properly, though not very well.

But Ray opens his mouth to those students.

"All right, then we'll do it. Are you ready for this?

Ray turned his gaze and asked: Insula, who is also an edge and easy student to nominate in many ways for Ray.

Suddenly the glanced insula has a stunned look on its face, opening its mouth.

"Look, the rest of them get ready for a mock fight right away.... What's up, don't you have to get ready?

Ray, who still sees insula flashing, turns his gaze toward a cage containing weapons for mock warfare placed in the corner of the gym.

You must have noticed that. The students decide that whatever more they say won't stop the mock fight, and rush to pick up their weapons.

And Ray, who sees all of them have their weapons in their hands, lightly slaps Seto's body, who seems happy to be able to move his body for the first time in a long time.

"All right, then, start mock warfare!

"Grrrrrrrr!"

With Ray's words, Seto kicks the floor and heads to the students with the weapons that were closest to him.

However, although we set up a weapon, Griffon, half a metre long, came straight towards us.

The power can be said to be considerable.

If this were Ray, we would have been able to handle it somewhat.

But if it's also Griffon coming at me, I'm really upset.

"Ugh, wow, wow!

The first thing I couldn't stand was one of the avant-gardes with a long sword in his hand.

It's avant-garde, so I had to hit first with Seto, and I guess I couldn't stand that tension.

Wave down a long sword for mock warfare towards Seto.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto, who kicked the floor and dodged the blow, keeps his distance from the man.

If it was meant to be, the man would have passed out if he had eaten a blow to the forefoot, but in this case Ray told me not to take down the opponent lightly, so it's a form of watching how things are going.

"Can we? We can, we're not serious over there. We can handle this now!

Insula screams, making sure everyone believes the word... and launches an attack on Seto.

Long swords, spears, halvards, bows, and more.

Each desperately launches an attack on Seto.

It was as if it were an obsessive-compulsive notion that if we gave the opponent a little clearance to attack, we would be defeated at once.

(I'm not wrong about that.)

Ray whines inside as he watches Seto stop the blow of Halvard's beating by pressing him lightly against the floor with his forefoot.

As you can see from the current exchange, it is impossible first and foremost to deal effective damage to Ceto with the attacks of students attending this cadet school.

Still, this is how we make Seto fight our students, with the idea that Seto and I are spending less time in touch, and the desire to do away with Seto's lack of exercise at all, but most importantly, to avoid confusion when the students encounter enemies that are clearly higher in character than they are.

Because I understand that, Grink also didn't disagree with Ray when he said he was going to make Seto his opponent in a mock fight, which is how he embraced it very much.

"... that's terrible"

Ray shakes his neck to the side to the voice of Grink, who whines small.

"You're not. Ning Lo, from what I can tell, I was surprised that you just had the temper to deal with Seto and challenge him to battle. I was so scared, I thought some of them would run away."

"If you're going to say that, it must be a hassle to praise. … Oh, I'm the first student to have been slashed by Seto"

"Oh, I was near Insula.... it was a fact that the man attacked Seto even with a rash and the tension was defused because of it"

The student who slashed Ray's back of the brain into Seto feels like a rash has passed.

... although the student was currently falling with his leg on Seto's tail in an attempt to wield a long sword.

He eats a blow in the back leg on top of it and blows it away.

No matter how much you do, Seto's … it's also a blow with an enhanced Magic Item.

Regardless of who possessed some skill, there was no way a single student could have eaten the attack and flushed it.

In the end, the student who had the long sword blows away toward the student who is retreating to the edge as he bounces the floor several times, losing his mind.

Some have already eaten Seto's blow, standing down to nearly half.

"Gru?"

Let's go? And a throaty ceto.

Most of all, there's only one Ray here who can find out what that Ceto is trying to do.

If this is a guild, Seto is adored by everyone, so many people can somehow understand Seto's intentions.

Especially as a Seto lover, it goes without saying that two women draw a line with the others.

"Shit, come on! Noble, do not turn your back on your enemies!

Insula tells Seto with her long sword in her hand... but she must have decided that was a signal. Seto kicks the floor at once and first insula...... not unconscious with a blow to the forefoot towards the woman with the bow behind it, followed by a blow to the back foot to unconscious the man with the spear, and finally waves his tail and plays a long sword from the hand of insula.

Insula, who lost his weapon in his hand, still managed to resist... but in the end he loses consciousness due to Seto's blow.

And... this too one-sided development will be for all the other students to taste on their own.
