"... Huh?

Who the hell was the one who made the missing voice in the meantime?

Even if I didn't know that, it was clear that an arrow now descending from heaven had stopped the deadly clash between Ray and the men who suddenly appeared.

Arrow... it's really just an arrow.

No philosophy whatsoever, not even the kind of magic item, normal arrows.

But the arrow definitely stopped this scene, which was a one-touch situation.

"This arrow..."

The first man to move after the arrows came down was a man in his thirties among the tattooed threesomes.

I look at the arrows poking at us to separate ourselves from Ray and squeal small.

"Hih? You know what I mean?

"Yes.... I was wondering if he should avoid any more fights on this occasion when the Heavenly Bow comes out. A battlefield with so many hiding places like this is what he's best at. Of course you lose if you fight like this, I'm not saying. Instead, this painting could disappear"

A man in his thirties answers the old man's words, and also nods as a man in his twenties agrees.

"Right. I am also in favour of leaving this place once and for all. If he came out, I wonder if the execution of divine punishment for the deep red should wait for a while now. With those two opponents, it doesn't necessarily mean they can definitely inflict divine punishment for freeing Stigma."

"Hmm, yeah. Though he hasn't let Stigma go, he's not the man who gets up right after the blow of the Lord. Is it troublesome to deal with such a person and Heavenly Bow at the same time? So... let's get out of here."

The moment the old man told him so, an intense light was created around him, blocking the sight of those who were there.

"Let him go!

Ray, who decides that the opponent is to retreat, meditates on his eyes and takes the spear out of the mistering the moment its light is born, throwing it quickly.

As usual, it was not meant to be a throw in a full-blown position with a twist on the body, but purely a throw using only arm power, but the spear released from Ray's hand disappears straight into the light.

That's how the light that was intensely illuminating the surroundings went out... what I saw with my open eyes was the sight of my thrown spear piercing against the wall.

It just didn't seem like I missed anything, though there were a few drops of blood on the ground that the spear would have passed by.

"... Shit, did you let him get away after all? If it works, I'll stop sewing on the wall."

I approached the pierced wall of the spear with my tongue punched and reached for the patterned area...... immediately frowning,

Naturally. Because the moment I grabbed the pattern, the place broke.

Most of the time, the spear Ray uses as a throwing spear is like a missing tip.

A spear that can be disposable because it's not weird when it breaks.

Of course there are many regular spears, but this time I threw it was such a breaking spear.

Still, Ray, who managed to calm himself down, turns his gaze toward Aeland, saying that he was not unilaterally hit, but succeeded in letting someone over there bleed.

But it seems that Aeland and his escorts are still unable to recover from the overwhelming presence and shock they have all received from the three who have shown themselves now, and have not shown movement as if time had stopped them.

Even Erland and his escorts, who have some skill, do, so some of the assassins who were fighting those escorts here were crushed in a spiritual sense.

A glimpse of the surroundings and eventually Ray's gaze stopped were arrows poking at the ground.

In contrast to the arrow, Ray had mixed emotions, like an abominable delight.

It is true that he watered the battle where he said he was going to fight back, but it is also true that he was damaged, albeit somewhat, by the attack of a man in his twenties.

He approached Ray without noticing anything and attacked him.

I understood that I was not the owner of a great deal of skill, but there were at least three people with that strength.... Or it's not surprising that there are still others just those who have the strength to come close without Ray noticing.

Ray alone against those who possess that much strength... and even harder if he asks if he can fight and win while sheltering a foothold like Aerland.

(I hate to say no... but still struggling is a must. It was a short battle, but you can see it as the bearer of strength in the Rank A Adventurer class. Three people like that?... What could have been done with Seto?

If Seto had followed the three of us who retreated by smell, I think he'd have done something good to make it.

"So.... Whose fault is this arrow after all?

Mumble, look at the arrows again.

As for Ray, who has experience targeted by a poisonous arrow called Tears of Heaven, the arrow doesn't have very good memories.

And I notice something very strange.

There is no inclination whatsoever in the arrows piercing the ground.

It's just a stab like dropping an arrow straight from the top.

It was a ray pointing its gaze over the sky, but naturally no one exists there.

This means that the person who unleashed this arrow unleashed an arrow toward the top, and that the arrow that flew into the mountain fell straight into a straight line without changing its angle.

Besides, given the lack of that figure within sight of Ray, from quite a distance.

"You said Heavenly Bow or something.... who?

As soon as Ray squeals, he turns his gaze on Ray, such as Ayland is incredible.

Until a moment ago, I should have been in a situation where I couldn't move at all... but I guess that's how unexpected words came out of Ray's mouth.

"You don't know!?

"Yeah? What?

"So Heavenly Bow... Lord Saldart!

"Saldart?

To a familiar name, Ray closes his eyes so that he remembers something… immediately recalls that name.

"Are you a Rank S Adventurer, affiliated with the Kingdom of Mireana?

"That's right. Dear Saldart of the Heavenly Bow. I just thought the arrow was an exaggerated rumor that it would shoot through the target from any distance, but apparently it was never wrong to look at this."

Ray gives a subtle look to the words coming out of Aeland's mouth.

No, I am grateful to the owner of this arrow, but it is because I still had the feeling that he was interrupted in the battle.

I wouldn't bother to imitate it.

That's why I deliberately change the subject.

"I mean, from any distance... can you properly see what's going on around you that much with a sense of Aerland?

I know that the person in front of Ray is a two-year S-class.

But it is also true that in the end it is only to that extent.

As far as the strength of the S-class students in three or four years was concerned, there was no reason to jump through and be strong.

In fact, the first time Ray caught up with Ayland, he was showing his opponents how frightened he was of the four assassins.

"It's..."

I suppose you understand that you lack strength yourself. I seem somewhat dissapointed with Ayland but shut up.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't willing to let you snap that far. Besides, what you're saying is never wrong."

Ray continues his words as he turns his gaze from Ayland to the arrow that pierced the ground.

"Here's how it looks, my five senses are sharp. Besides, in front of those three earlier, I was pretty serious, and yet I had no idea where the arrows had been fired from. This is how arrows came down from the sky when I realized it.... I see, so it's a heavenly bow?

Arrows coming down from heaven. It would also be very threatening to have arrows released from distances beyond the grasp of even Ray's senses.

Even if it's Ray, if it's facing his opponent named Saldart in the Heavenly Bow, he can handle it no matter if the arrows come down directly from the top.

But if the arrows are released so that they are clearly targeted during the turmoil, it will be difficult to deal with them without having to crack your consciousness there as well.

"Of course it's Mr. Saldart from Rank S. Not only do they drop arrows directly from the top, but they have a lot of other skills about bows. It's a famous story about shooting a bandit who was about to break into a cadet school from the main entrance of this Graciar."

"... what's the joke?

I understand how far from the main entrance to the cadet school is because Ray actually came by as well.

In the first place, it has been bent several times, so it is never a straight line.

With such terrain, how can we imitate what Aeland has spoken of?

Even thinking for the moment that it would be an exaggerated story, Ayland looks like he respects a person named Saldart because he sees it, and he doesn't bother to imitate it in his mouth.

"More than that, we're going to..."

What are we going to do? I was going to ask Ray, but I perceive signs of approaching this one and set the death size.

Didn't the trio come back earlier? That's what I thought...... it was Grink who eventually showed up through the entrance to the alley.

Seeing that face, he exhales a small, reassuring breath, and Ray lowers his death size.

"Mr. Ray? What's the matter, sir? Does that mean these people are assassins?

"Oh.... well, the bigger ones got away with it"

To the words out of Ray's mouth, Grink's face turns to astonishment.

I understand more than enough of how capable Ray is of acting together in class here for a while.

Of course the students have fallen arms compared to Grink. Still, I can fight myself and beat Ray...... on the contrary, I couldn't even imagine how decent we could cross each other.

I hear Ray, who has that much strength, is the one who got away with it, and past the poison arrow that was previously unleashed against Ray in class behind Grink's brain.

If you think about it that way, you could also see a single arrow piercing the ground.

There were also those who used the bow as a weapon in the escort of Ayland, but the arrows unleashed by that escort have fallen rather than pierced the ground.

"Arrow again, is it?

"No, it's not. This arrow is the arrow of the man who gave us our backup.... You know what I mean when I say Heavenly Bow?

"Huh!?

Stunning again.

Naturally. No one lives in this kingdom of Mireana and does not know the name of a rank s adventurer in his own country.

... Ray didn't know, but Grink wasn't aware of it, happy or unhappy.

"You think Master Saldart covered for you?... but, you know, sometimes it's unusual. No, I'm never gonna doubt Mr. Ray's story."

"Rare? What?

"I knew instructor Grink would agree"

Leaving Ray alone for some reason, Grink and Aeland were silently gazing at each other with a look that seemed to make sense of the situation.

What's there is a silent conversation that shares some premise, but the late.

I questioned that, Ray, but Grink, who was gazed at, opens his mouth as if to mislead the story.

"So, these people... well, just like earlier?

"Oh.... just how many of them are alive. I doubt it."

"If we're going to get the information, shouldn't we try not to kill him?

To the words out of Grink's mouth, Ray exhales and then looks up at the sky, indicating he is unhappy with his attitude.

"Nothing. I didn't kill these guys. He was fighting us before Heavenly Bow came out."

"... is that the big guy you were fighting that Ray was talking about?

"Oh. Though I was stuck by surprise, I didn't think you were going to eat a decent blow"

Ray tells as he strokes his flank in the dragon robe.

The pain is still there, but it's probably because he jumped aggressively and let the shock escape the moment he thought he was attacked. It's not like my ribs are broken.

Most importantly, it also caused effective damage to Ray when he jumped and tried to kill the impact.

(Even so, divine punishment... divine punishment. No way.)

For a moment the matter of the disturbance in the labyrinth city of Exil was Ray past the back of his brain, but Grink opens his mouth before considering the possibility.

"Apparently, you're in a lot of trouble.... What do you do with Ayland for now? I'm going to leave these people with the guards."

"… then we will accompany you. You'll need to explain more than you've got into this situation."

Much different from the use of words against Ray, but I guess it's natural if you consider it a use against adventurers and instructors.

"Okay. Okay, come with me....... sorry Ray, can you tell the school director about this as soon as possible? Because I think the school director is still in the school director's office today. Because with Mr. Ray here, it's a lot harder to post-process things."

"Okay. I'll take care of it, and the other guy who's after me..."

"Yes, let me gather as much information as I can."

Thus, Ray leaves the scene for now and heads to the cadet school.

"Hey, are you Ray? Rumor has it he's a man, but apparently he was lying."

It was against Ray, who came to the dean's office, that an elf man approached him with a grin that would tell him so and make his teeth glow.
