Lay Grandsley/Synopsis

Magic Sword Tournament Arc
Not long after enrolling in Anos's class, Lay quickly turned down an invitation to become a group leader and wanted to join Anos' team instead. Lay saw that he was the strongest student in the class, but because their status were different, Lay let his distaste of royalty show. But Anos refused, saying that if he wanted to join, he would need to show adequate strength. Anos then put Lay and Misa in the same group, telling them they can join if they do well against him in the upcoming battle exam.

To get ready for the Magic Sword Tournament, the class had a Great Demon Sword Training with two of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors, Gaios Anzem and Ydol Anzeo. But Lay and Anos beat their instructors with relative ease.

The next day, the two teams met at the forest outside Delzogade for the battle exam. Lay invited Anos to a fight just the two them, and lent Misa his sword Initio so that the rest of their teams can fight each other. Although Anos was using a tree branch he picked up from the ground, Lay was barely able to keep up and the landscape was destroyed as they kept fighting. In the end, both Lay and Misa lost, but Anos acknowledges their strength and let them join.
