All players were shocked by the words of the woman in front who introduced herself as Miss Elyana. Most of them understood his point, but it also felt like they did not understand. The players gathered in the academy were selected strong players. Of course to defeat the monsters that appeared due to dimension break was not a difficult thing.
"There is no material for today. Instead, I want to see how you guys will use your strength to the maximum in training." Miss Elyana walks to Mike's desk.
"I expect a lot from you, Grandmaster participant." Miss Elyana patted Mike softly on the head, making him groan in annoyance. The other players were surprised after knowing the status of the participants owned by Mike. Not a few are immediately curious about the ranking. After Miss Elyana said that, all players were guided towards the academy's backyard. They were asked to wait for a few minutes.
"What should we do by just waiting like this?" One of the female players who stood not far from Mike began to complain. For ten minutes they waited for Miss Elyana who did not come.
"Prepare for each other's weapons! The first wave is about to begin." Miss Elyana's voice rang out from a speaker stuck in one of the trees. Hearing the sudden command made most players only gawk with weapons in their hands.
Right after all the players held weapons, the air in front of them suffered cracks that struck light.
"Dimension break?" Mike frowned. She thought that the training Miss Elyana meant was to defeat the monsters that appeared due to the dimension break.
"Did that woman collect us in the backyard just because of a dimension break? Do we have to put all of us together like this?" The other players are starting to cringe. He felt exaggerated to deploy all players of the academy participants just to defeat monsters.
Unlike Mike who had put on a serious face from the beginning, they were relaxed and underestimated the training given. After a while, the monsters started to come out of the dimension break. It was a giant monster with a human-like shape.
"Trolls?!" Mike knitted his brows, sighing heavily. On top of the monster's head was written the number five that made Mike immediately shrink. The last time when facing a level one troll was very difficult, even though all the party members were strong enough. But this time he had to fight a level five troll. Things like this have never been imagined before.
"Not goblins? But it's pretty big."
"The size is just big! His strength would definitely be no more than a level ten goblin."
Mike heard a few lines of conversation between the players standing behind him. It was anxious for him to shout in frustration in front of their faces who underestimated the monsters ahead.
"Gried, I think we should exert full force from the start. Damnit damnit! Though I had planned to hide my strength as much as possible." Mike clenched his hand. He forgot to use skill points to raise his skill level. Mike has not bought a new weapon. He only had a sword that had indeed become his weapon from the very beginning.
Gried nodded in response. He took two sticks of his from the inventory. Gried performed the summoning death knight. It did take time, but at least the death knight he summoned was at least level eight. It was already strong enough and he could summon up to fifteen death knights. The time spent on summoning did not feel wasted. Moreover, the death knight could continue to be resurrected as long as his possession was still there.
The troll started to groan, his voice almost breaking the eardrum. Mike first launched an attack while waiting for Gried to finish with the summon death knight.

SAMURAI SKILL USED.
DEX LV.10 -> LV.20
Mike swung his sword, giving a deep cut. But the wound instantly healed instantly thanks to the incredible regeneration of the troll. Other players start to help from direct attacks to attacks that use magic. No one could inflict a permanent wound on the monster. When they found out how strong the monster in front was, they started to tremble in fear. Just this time they were dealing with a monster that was regenerating quickly.
"How do you defeat such a monster? None of the attacks can provide permanent injury. If he keeps healing himself, it's the same as us killing ourselves!" One of the players shouted in frustration. It was obvious the fear on his face.
About five minutes passed, Gried had already finished summoning death knight. Seeing that, Mike also summoned an army with a shadow gate. Immediately thirty combined forces between monsters and death knights stood gallantly.
All the players who saw it were dumbstruck, either out of amazement or out of fear of seeing an absurd army. Mike and Gried stand in front representing their respective armies. The Gried advance first, considering how to raise a death knight's army is easier than raising Mike's monster army.
The Gried army consisted of eight low-level knights, five middle-level knights, and two high-level knights. Some low-level knights died in a single step, but immediately got back up by consuming the Mana Gried. The Gried troops continued to lash out in order to launch an attack. Death knights of medium to high level still did not die and managed to give wounds. The damage obtained from a high-level death knight turned out to be incurable due to the powerful cursing effect of death.
Monster trolls are in pain. Mike took this opportunity to deploy his troops. At least he had a level one troll that would be a great help to deal damage. Although the damage given is not as powerful as high-level death knights, but it can help to inhibit the movement of trolls so as not to attack other players.
Gried launched an attack with his magic wand. He blew up the troll a few times, but still had no effect. The remaining mana he had was still plenty, so at least he felt relieved to be able to maintain a high-level death knight even longer.
More than half of Mike's men have been killed by a powerful troll counterattack. Luckily the only troll that became an army did not lose that fast. The troll monsters were hit by successive attacks, plus more and more wounds that could not be healed due to high-level death knights. The monster had already shown fatigue and its strength had already reduced considerably. Mike deliberately did not come to attack because he was waiting for the moment when monsters could be conquered.

"Huh? What the hell does that mean? Isn't it possible for me to make monsters an army as long as the level is below me?" Mike was frustrated. He thought his fight would end.

THE DIFFERENCE IN STRENGTH THAT WAS TOO GREAT HAD THE POSSIBILITY OF FAILING THE SKILL USED.
"Damn!" Mike bit his lower lip. Now there was no other choice but to make the monster unable to move and tame it. When Mike was starting to despair, he remembered the reward he got for winning in the arena game. Mike immediately opened the inventory and found a weapon listed there. It was a bow without arrows.
