"Hey, ahhh!
Shaken with the voice of temper, Halvard.
Naturally the blade part is crushed, but a weapon that combines a spear with an axe has just the power to easily kill a person by weight alone.
... but if I hit that too.
"Sweet."
As he dodges Halvard's attack with a slice of paper, Vihera stays in front and waves her fist.
It wasn't that powerful of a blow, but still a powerful enough blow for a woman in a simulated battle with Vihera to fall to the floor.
"Next"
It was a short word, but the man who heard it stands in front of Vihera with a stick in his hand.
A weapon called a stick is a common weapon.
That's why even goblins often use sticks as weapons.
... Although the stick Goblin uses as a weapon is basically to the extent that it broke a branch of a tree around it, not a real stick that is properly made.
In that regard, the stick that the man who came out in front of Vihella had was scraped so that it was easy to hold with the center of gravity firmly in mind, and the leather is wrapped around the patterned area so that it does not slip.
"Let's go!
That's what he shouted and the man who came forward at once waves a stick toward Vihera.
"No matter how powerful it is, it's not a big deal."
Unlike when Harvard earlier, Vihera gently touches the stick while dodging to change the flow of power.
The stick is lightly re-orbited and slapped to the floor.
"Become!?
The man raised a loud voice that he didn't think his blow would be so light... if he noticed, his body was slapped to the floor.
I was grabbed by a hand that had a stick, I paid my legs, and I was tapped to the floor using the momentum, but I don't understand him at all.
Most importantly, Vihela pulled up lightly on the verge of being tapped, so there was little damage to the man himself.
It was Ray and Vihera who were overwhelming their mock opponents, but the other Büne who remained was slightly different in fun.
"Mmm!"
It was Büne who tried to avoid the crushed spear on the tip of his ear that had stretched toward him and use his quickness as it was to get into his nostalgia all at once, but he also knows that if he is dived into his nostalgia, he is weak as a person who uses long objects.
Also because the little Büne had a dagger that crushed the blade as a weapon, there are few options to choose from there... which is why I was able to deal with it in advance.
"Ha!"
Whereas Bühne, who has dived into his nostalgia, the man packs his time from himself.
Pack your time to a distance where it's impossible to wield a dagger... then what happens the next moment is a bump between your bodies.
And the fact that the bodies bump into each other from the front naturally makes it the most important thing there is weight.
If you have physical abilities that don't suit you as well as Ray, or high body twitching skills like Vihera, Bühne is still quite up in arms compared to before, but not that high in skill.
No, such imitation would also be possible for Büne if the person fighting was an amateur or someone who had just become an adventurer.
But now fighting Bühne is on par with Bühne... no, he's a slightly more skilled opponent.
In that case, it would not be possible to imitate the attack so easily, and it was natural for Bühne to be hit from the front and blown out of the weight difference.
"Mmm!"
But Bühne is also trained daily as a member of the Red Lotus Wings.
He twisted his body in the air while being blown away to get in position and land safely on the floor.
Exclamation leaks from the mouths of those who watched what was going on around Bühne like that.
Of course not many people on this scene can imitate the same as Bühne today.
But that's what we can do now.
Asked if they could do such imitation when they were about the same age as Bühne, not many of them could snort at it.
Those who watched also exclaimed at the high abilities of Bühne because they knew it.
"Mmm!"
"Come!"
When Beaune, who lands on the floor, screams briefly, the man with the spear also screams as if he had responded to it.
That's how the battle between the two resumes, but overall, it's still true that a man is stronger than Bühne.
It was Büne trying to dive into his nostalgia somehow, but the man spears skillfully and doesn't allow it.
Ultimately, seeing the gap in Bühne's movements, the spear moved quickly... sticking the tip of his ear to Bühne's face would determine his victory or defeat.
... Although, if this were in action, Bühne would not have used long needles or had the weapon also been a white cloud made from silver lion material.
However, I had no idea what would happen around it, as Büne's use of his own weapon would naturally mean that a man would also use his original weapon.
"Guuuuu..."
When Vihela and Bühne were repeating mock warfare, Ray was also repeating mock warfare against many more.
When Eduardo, who fought first, loses, he next hopes for a mock fight, and now the eighth man is taking a Ray blow and poking his knee on the floor.
"Yeah, I think that's pretty good. Try to absorb that blow by pulling your power the moment you're attacked. It's just a slow move to get there. So this is why we can't get away with most of our power. I think if I can be reflexive instead of my own will around, I can go up another step."
In order to be able to receive the attack most reflexively, it is necessary to be able to continue to receive the attack and receive it reflexively more than once.
Something like talent and instinct really matters around here, so that's the big difference between individuals if you're going to be able to do that completely.
In the case of Vihela, for example, such movement is possible only with half instinct, even with little training.
But Ray won't be able to snort honestly again if the man in front of him asks if he's as talented as Vihera is.
Nevertheless, everyone in this training area has more than a certain talent.
... I guess it's right that Edwald chose the talented from among the hopefuls that there is a simulated battle with Ray today.
Eduardo is not the owner of this training ground, but we are all convinced that he is the gatherer of those who use it.
In fact, if all those who wish to do so were to participate in this mock fight, there would undoubtedly be a large crowd… not very much, but not all of them would have been able to do the mock fight.
Even some of them had never used this training ground because they wanted to participate when they heard they could do a mock fight with Ray.
Ray is fairly feared in the Guild, but at the same time is not considered to be a man who wields violence without any meaning.
And I'm pretty sure it's actually strong, so if I knew there was a chance that Ray and I could have a mock fight, it was only natural for many to hope.
"Next... hey, bare hands. That's unusual."
The next woman standing in front of Ray was a woman wearing armor that covered her elbows.
Woman, I turn my gaze to Vihera, who is energetically enjoying mock warfare because of fighting, but naturally the woman who currently stands in front of Ray is not wearing a thin coat like Vihera.
"Please!
Short shouting, the woman comes forward at once.
What makes fighting better than an opponent with a weapon would still be to use your body as a weapon.
Unlike weapons like long swords and spears, it's easy to make sensory judgements about mistakes.
... Other features are that it's lighter than having a weapon, but the armor the woman wears is a pretty sturdy substitute, and I'm sure it's heavier than a dagger, even if it's less.
If so, I don't think I can attack faster than a dagger.
And it turns out, although the fist released toward Ray has speed, it is a penetration by a dagger... which is somewhat inferior to the penetration released by Bühne.
Such a blow, Ray releases a spear stone poke at his leg as he dodges.
Though I guess that's not a foot-paying blow, it's the right way to say that a woman plugged a spear stone into the place she would step in and hooked her foot to a spear.
"Ahhh!
Ray dodged the attack and went too far through the side, so the woman, who rushed to turn around, fell to the floor the next moment and screamed.
If I tried being a woman, I wouldn't have understood what I was doing right now.
Even as you scream like that, if you manage to get your upper body out of a fall, what's in front of you is the spear tip Ray has.
Obviously, it was in a stuffed state.
"I know you want to give priority to attacking us, but you should be careful when your opponent has a spear-like long object"
"... Yes"
A woman replies sadly from the bottom of her heart.
If I tried being a woman, I would naturally fall with my legs hooked up to a spear where I went in without actually having a mock fight with Ray that looked like a mock fight.
You felt sorry for Ray when you saw a woman like that, too, opening your mouth to comfort you.
"There's only one more of my norms, so I'll fight you again when he's done."
"Ho, is that true!?
"Oh. So think of a way to fight so you can fight a little more in the next mock."
"Ugh... yes"
Only a woman was given the right to do another mock fight by Ray, but it was those who did the mock fight with Ray before the woman who were dissatisfied when they saw it.
I can't help it. Because we only had one mock fight with Ray, and only the woman was given that chance again.
Even Eduardo, who holds together those who are here, had an enviable gaze at the woman.
"Uh, you can't help it. This woman lost almost nothing. The rest of them could have fought me by turning around, right? Then don't you think that's all right?
That being said, some people still seem unhappy...... so they turn their gaze to Ray like they would expect.
Not sure for a moment what to do...
"Fine, gather them all and call them. But be prepared for some more injuries than it is a mixed war!
Inside the training ground, such a vihella's voice echoes.
When Ray turns his gaze to those who hear voices, what's happening there is a multi-to-one simulation.
Yes, it was such a battle: one Vihella versus ten adventurers.
If it were normal, Vihela would be struck unilaterally due to the difference in numbers... The power of Vihela easily outweighs the power of the others.
As a result, it was barely a battle, but still the ten were being pushed more overwhelmingly.
It is probably established as a one-off battle because Vihella has some modesty.
Seeing such a battle, Ray opens his mouth.
"Right. If the mock fight with one remaining person is over and you still want to mock fight with me, will everyone fight as opponents, just like that one? Still okay?
"Please"
That's what I've been saying first, Eduardo.
The others were also nodding so that they could be caught by such Edwald's words.
Ray, who decides it would be better that way because it ends in one go rather than repeating it one-on-one over and over again, accepts it.
"Okay. Then it's a one-on-one end."
One last person in that word, halfway between a dagger and a long sword in both hands...... a man with a sword to call even a middle sword stands before Ray.
"Please!
Did you aim for a leading must-win with that word, pack the distance all at once for Ray?
I guess I'm going to go inside Ray's spear interval and compete between my weapons.
Naturally, Ray also quickly understands the thoughts of such opponents and quickly pokes them sharply over and over again with a spear - but a stone-piercing part.
Even if he tried to get close to the inside of the spear, he could not find a punching gap that would be unleashed one after the other... The man ended up being struck multiple times with a stone punch as it was, and the simulation ended.
A glance at such a man, Ray once again turns his gaze to Eduardo and other faces.
"Well, then it's me alone vs. all of you, as you wish. As Vihella said, only the guy who's ready for some injuries is gonna hang on."
Including Edwald in that word...... on the contrary, even the man with the middle sword who just lost gets up.
That's where it started: multi-to-one mock warfare.
Naturally, he wasn't that much of a struggling opponent if you try it on Ray, but if he fights a lot of people like this, he can be attacked from places he doesn't even think about, which makes it a pretty good training for Ray.
... Because Ray couldn't possibly have lost either, and Ray won more than one-on-one.
Ultimately, the mock resulted in Ray and Vihera winning all fights and Bune losing four or six, in a way as expected.
