Instructor Grad's suggestion made it possible for us to receive special training. It's a special menu for Luna, who specializes in mass combat, and Claire, who lacks combat experience.

In order to participate in the training, I called in Claire, who was barebacking in the distance.

"What... happens...?

Claire looks pretty anxious. I have a blue face, a small voice, and my usual confident attitude is very sluggish as to where I have gone.

"They say the instructor will conduct the training. Sounds like something special for Luna and Claire."

"Yikes! I don't want to do Atashi! I've been watching! I've been watching you and Leeds train!

I can't do that to Atashi!

"Fine. Huh? This is for Claire. I told the instructor I would join him. It shouldn't be that hard of a training. Because it's okay. Huh?"

"No! Kah-uh!

Hold the reluctant Claire's hand and take her to the middle of the training ground where the instructor and soldiers wait.

I'm sorry, Claire's a compulsory participant. Chance to gain combat experience easily.

I don't know what to do, but all the participants aligned themselves in the middle of the training ground.

"We will now conduct group combat training. This training is a rivalry between our Glad Squad and Coe's party members."

Instructor Glad makes the decree out loud. Would a rivalry be like a four-to-four team match......

"Teacher, please explain more"

"Uhm. There are a total of 32 soldiers in our team who participated in this training, including me. There are four parties against Koh.

We will now have a collective battle between 32 and 4. "

"Huh!?" "Huh...?" "What!?

Claire and Luna, and I raised our voices at the same time. I didn't hear that either. Isn't that just awful?

That's right, instructor Glad, you're going to plunder the right diagonal top of the prediction.

"It's a request from Koh. Great training to train in mass combat and gain combat experience at the same time"

No...... I trusted this guy. I was the idiot. Isn't it harder than a one-handed mock fight?

But, well, it won't be a problem. You just need to calm down and deal with it, you should be fine.

Collective warfare has a way of fighting group warfare. Depending on the strategy, a small number of disadvantages can be reduced. If the multitude side mishandles it, it is also more advantageous on the small side.

"Mr. Coe... what do you mean...?

Luna complains in tears, but I can't even assume it.

"Sorry...... I didn't think of this kind of training either. But Luna can definitely handle it. Don't think the guy coming at you is a soldier, think he's a goblin. Goblins in clothes.

Look, he's a goblin, isn't he?

An old soldier with thin hair with a rocky face says. He was a man I used to practice with when I was in Royal Castle. "Why am I not hot?" was a lively man of cliché. Memories of putting up with me about to answer "face"......

"Really...? Even if it does not resemble a goblin..."

"If there was such a Gottsy goblin, I'd run away! I don't care how you look at it, it's not General-class!

Pleasure, goblin soldier. They say it's a goblin general in Claire. You're born. Three gold coins if you crusade.

"It wouldn't be a big deal if it was about general. Goblins are goblins."

"Did you get the story together?

That explains everything. Start when you decide you're ready. "

The instructor took the liberty of proceeding to begin the training.

I didn't hear anything. Explained? I haven't heard anything about the Termination Conditions or the Victory Conditions or the Conditions for Combat Leaving, but how the hell do I tell you to fight?

"Wait a minute, what should I do with the end of the training and the departure of the battle?

"Such things are the same as usual. If it blows up, leave. If you blow it up, you win."

I think it would still be easy to understand if I were to hit one, but it would be awkward in a mass battle. It doesn't blow up because soldiers get in the way. It is not possible for Luna and Claire to blow up every soldier who refrains behind them.

In the first place, Luna can't be attacked like me or Leeds, so blowing it up is difficult in itself.

"Due to Luna's style of combat, that's impossible. Just admit your loss and leave when you decide Luna's offense has been effectively hit."

"Hmm, well. You can't have a big shock with a dagger. Got it."

Instructor Grad accepted this suggestion with pleasure. This is the best considering Luna's style of combat.

Let's rework Luna's simulated sword so she can wield her thoughtless weapon.

The length goes with the usual knife, but I changed my body into just a stick. It's like a stick. This just hurts to pierce it thoroughly.

I gave Luna the baton I could, and she was ready.

"Hey...... are you sure you want to do this? Atashi, shouldn't you go home?

"It would be decided no good. You think it's better than a single hit because we're gonna put you in a follow up, huh?

This is also a benefit of mass warfare. Following your peers is also part of the strategy. So I guess I'll train to support someone. It's pretty hard because you have to look at the whole thing and act on it.

Leeds is kidding with pleasure. You seem motivated. I'm not asking Leeds for any difficult moves. Pass if you can bust the enemy in front of you.

Some soldiers are switching weapons to match the mass battle. The spear and one-handed sword seem to be the main thing. The instructor hasn't tried to replace the Great Sword for some reason, but he must have some idea.

As I was observing the soldiers, the instructor started talking out loud about something.

"Tell all crew. First of all, Koh. I'll deal with him because he's the most dangerous.

Next, a blonde girl, but she is the wizard of a former court magician. Don't let them get any distance.

The Beastman girl, as you can see, is wide in between. Someone who can handle a long pattern should deal with it.

The last girl with dark hair. I hear she's inexperienced in combat. Give it to me full adoration. "

Following instruction from Instructor Glad, the soldiers said, "Whoa!," he roared.

The instructor's voice is too loud and I can hear the whole operation. Besides, I'm mishandling it. Is that a trap?

Luna can use magic, but she's good at close range. Leeds has plenty of time, but he simply hates being approached. It would be the opposite of who you bump into.

I doubt the trap for once, but if this instruction is serious, this one is in my favor.

"First, I'll take on the instructor's opponent.

I guess it's right to form a circle so they don't take my back, but I dare not this time.

Attack aggressively and reduce your enemies with as little effort as possible. Better aim from the weak one. "

It's often a scene where you keep your back with your buddies, but that's if they're all on the same level or level. It is better to focus on reducing the number, as it can also take an unconsciousness of an understatement to the other person. Well, it's a strategy based on the assumption that you can sink your opponent in one blow.

Only the instructor is dangerous, so I'll draw him in. He could blow up all his allies.

When we finished our operational meetings with each other, soldiers attacked us without any signal. This is also among the rules, and combat training in this country has no signal of initiation and termination. That seems the same for this mass battle.

"I'm your opponent."

Gilbert stood in front of me with a serious face with a serious mode instructor Grad.

Gilbert's in the way. Let's get rid of it first.

Gilbert is switching from a great sword to a one-handed sword. The first step is weapons destruction. My dagger and his one-handed sword are made of the same material. For being small and thin, he loses in simple strength.

Let's make it up to you by magic. Reinforced with attribute magic "Pervert," Gilbert slashed the instructor while attacking him. Naturally, he tries to take it with his sword, but that's what I'm after. Swing through aiming at the base of the sword.

"Beckyvin"

A blunt sound sounded and the one-handed sword's body flew away. Flashing Gilbert. But that's not good. Do not disturb your mind so much that your weapon broke during the battle.

He quickly slammed a kick into Gilbert's flank. He tries to take it with a one-handed sword that has lost his body, and only Tsuba cuts the sky. You're scared to get used to it... You tried to protect me with a sword reflexively.

"Ohh...!

Gilbert uttered unspoken words and rolled straight to the corner of the training field with a kicked impact.

"Still not a glimmer..."

Instructor Grad groans so, but repeatedly attacks without showing one upset as he sidetracks the rolling Gilbert.

But one instructor would be fine. I didn't like it when I knocked it down poorly and the soldier's control collapsed, so I checked on everyone while avoiding the instructor's attack.

For starters, when I saw Luna the soldier went first, he was surrounded by multiple soldiers. He releases a strong thrust into the front soldier's temple (the center of his chest) from a position where he cannot move. The soldier, who was deprived of his body's freedom by a single blow, fell on the spot.

Scaffold the fallen soldier and stab the soldier behind his back in the back (between his clavicles) with a short left hand stick. The soldier, inadvertently stopped breathing, fell and rolled back as he was.

One soldier approached him suddenly at Luna's surprise. The soldier rushes to guard Luna as she stuck her stick out at the crowd (under her nose). But Luna's other baton pierced the star (under Heso).

I've been watching it for a while, but it's always at this rate. It's improving again... Why are you clearly targeting the steeple? You used to chop off your neck. When did you find out about the human steeple?

I can't do anything flashy and sweeping, but I definitely mass-produced non-combatant soldiers. Luna's attacked soldiers suffer so much that they can't even afford to leave.

Luna doesn't have to worry about anything. Rather the soldiers are pathetic.

Leeds is next. Leeds also has soldiers flocking early in the start. The soldiers Leeds is dealing with are the ones who switched weapons when they heard it was a mass battle. There are many soldiers with spears. But really stupid. Seems like I followed the instructions honestly, and I didn't have to worry about the trap.

The soldier takes a distance and targets Leeds ski, but the moment he's in between Leeds, the stick hits him. The soldier who is hit directly passes over the soldier who lays down his weapon by drawing a beautiful arc.

A relentless blow awaits soldiers who make unscrupulous steps as well. About the blow of a horizontal giraffe, he rolls back, involving the soldier behind him.

I'm not worried about Leeds either... but I'm worried about the soldier dying.

Last but not least, Claire. Few soldiers flock because they are judged not to be a threat. But it looks like he's got a lot of balls in his hands.

If you wave your sword at the soldier on the right, the soldier on the left launches an attack, and if you turn your consciousness in front, you will be beaten from behind. It's a bad pattern of mass warfare. This happens when you can't destroy the target with one blow.

This is awkward. If we don't get to the rescue right away, Claire will lose. It's not a bad idea to lose... but if you get slapped, you might get traumatized.

I want to focus my consciousness on the instructors and fold them up at once. Dive into the nostalgia and kick...... just did. That just won't work the second time.

Play the great sword with a hardened dagger to disfigure the instructor. Kick the rear tibia (mukonozu) and hit the tip of the jaw (chin chin chin chin) with your left hand, swinging the dagger down your right shoulder as the tip of the sword faces down. He put a dagger on his left wrist with that momentum and succeeded in dropping the Great Sword.

It's troublesome to miss this ski. I kicked him in the pigeon tail and blew him to the corner of the training field, successfully eliminating the instructor.

He immediately rushed to Claire and defeated the soldiers in his way.

"Are you all right?

"There's no way you're gonna be okay!

I'm glad you look surprisingly well. Claire is surrounded and attacked simultaneously, while successfully avoiding fatal injuries. Concentration in battle is a big deal. It seemed possible to maintain the status quo of what was lacking in decision making.

But it would have been jilli poor as it was. Multiple to one is completely different in fatigue. They quickly deprive me of my strength and decide on a battle.

By the time I finished rescuing Claire by eliminating the soldiers around me, there was only one soldier left who was safe.

"That's it!

"hey......!

Luna's blow caused the last soldier to collapse. Looking over the training ground, the healing wizard is hurrying around healing the fucking unsavory potion with one hand.

The soldier who has finished his treatment is also exhausted, unable to move while sitting down.

"This concludes our training for today. Let's celebrate the good fight between Koh and his people. With all this difference in numbers, it's unnecessarily complete."

Only one, instructor Grad, gets up fine and shouts. Slightly proclaiming his loss, he walked straight into the castle.

They declared the end of the training, so they hung healing magic on Claire. Only Claire is a lot worn out. The leather armor I've been wearing for a long time would be the limit by now. I'm so worn out that I'm going to fall apart now.

"Good luck, guys. Well done."

"Good luck.

It was easier than I thought. I was frightened. I thought I was funny earlier. "

"Where is it! My legs are still shaking! I don't like Atashi anymore!?

"Huh? That was fun. Huh?

Three people share their thoughts on each of them. It still seemed like an easy win for Luna and Leeds. Too compatible with the weapon to be honest.

"The instructor missed the strategy this time. He challenged Luna to a melee and Leeds to a spear fight. It's the other way around."

"Sure...... right. The soldiers felt like they were coming to hit me."

"Right. That's what I was like, right? It feels good because it keeps flying."

"Don't be with you guys! I can't believe you treated me... but I still feel like it hurts!

Claire was pretty attacked. If I hadn't broken in, I would have slapped him.

This is what mass warfare scares me about. They are surrounded and beaten together just once. That's why we need to reduce the number of people first.

"Luna and Leeds had an idea of Claire's condition too, didn't they? This is the risk of mass warfare. Even if the undergraduates were opponents, they would easily end up like Claire with a single alarm and failure. Be careful, both of you."

That's a word for my tightening. That concludes today's training. I was surprised at the mass battle, but it turned out to be a very good training.

I plan to go buy potion making tools after this, but it's still early so I definitely have time to spare.

I want to do something at last. Let's hear everyone's opinion.

"The sun is still high, but do you want to go somewhere?

"... I, I want to go to the Magic Academy. I want to see everyone's face because I'm here."

The Magic Inn is an ancient nest in Luna, the workplace and residence of the court's Magic Inn. We all know each other because I've made faces many times too. I want to go because I also want to hear about the status report and the demon props.

"I'd love to go, but how's everybody?

"Gone - hey!

I'm going out with you, too.

It means we all acknowledge, so we all head to the Enchantress House. Leeds is a magician, and Claire is a craftsman's daughter. I guess neither of us are interested.

I greeted the soldier and left the training center behind. I wonder if I should tell you about the elves...... Probably want to know.
