The Hero Creation Classroom of a Reincarnated Ordinary Person: After Reaching My Limit As An Adventurer, I Reluctantly Opened A Classroom In The Countryside To Earn Money For The Future, And My Student Became The Strongest - Episode 1

“This is… my classroom…”

Looking at the hut in front of me, I muttered.

The small, single-story stone house, which uses a bit of wood, is, of course, solidly built.

“Just to be sure, it’s made with stone using the powdered magic stone as requested. It was expensive, but… is that alright?”

The carpenter who built this wonderful classroom has hit a sore spot.

“Ah, it’s nothing much. A small classroom here and there doesn’t hurt or itch. More importantly, thank you for building it, Ittetsu-san.”

“…to buy up this classroom, the living quarters, and even the surrounding land, and not feel a thing… well, I’ll let it slide this time.”

Mr. Ittetsu touched his beard with his fingers, let out a small sigh, and turned on his heel as if to say he was done.

“If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll make it for you, this Ittetsu.”

“Is that true? Then next time, it won’t be cheap…”

“You know what… fine, I’ll think about it.”

Without looking back, Mr. Ittetsu just raises his hand and waves goodbye.

I was convinced that they definitely wouldn’t give me a discount next time either.

I turn back towards the classroom and look around at every corner. It looks like just an ordinary shack you could find anywhere.

However, it is also a classroom where I have invested much of the money I have earned from my adventures so far.

Having obtained what is commonly referred to as my own castle, I nodded twice.

“…But it took quite a bit of time. Is this really okay? If we fail, we’ll seriously be left out in the cold. That was an expensive purchase…”

But soon, a wave of anxiety washed over me.

I put on a show for Mr. Ittetsu, but I ended up spending a huge amount of money.

Indeed, it feels painful even when considering the savings from the past ten years.

I slap my cheeks with both hands and refocus. There’s no point in overthinking it.

Now that I’ve already built the classroom, I have no choice but to walk the path of a second life as a teacher from here on out.

“The environment is ready. All that’s left is to bring in the students.”

Achieve success and grasp my dreams. I will make it happen.

“Shall I go look for a student who can earn money for me?”

And so, I set out into the city.

After walking for a while, I arrived at a town called Estelle.

Walking down the main street, I enter the Adventurers’ Guild.

There were a few adventurers inside, but I just glanced at them and sat down in my usual seat.

“Hello, Endy-san.”

As soon as I sat down, the receptionist who had been giving me looks since I walked in spoke to me.

Without even asking for permission, they sit next to me and start a conversation.

“I haven’t seen you around lately, so I was wondering what happened. Are you accepting requests?”

“……Satoria, this time it’s a different matter. The adventurer business isn’t the goal.”

Since Satoria moved to the town of Estelle, it’s only been about four months, so our relationship is still quite new.

Despite that, they’re being overly familiar.

Maybe because I took on a lot of requests to build up some goodwill, Satoria often comes to me like this.

“However, if there are high-rank and high-reward requests, I might consider taking them on. I wouldn’t mind charging an extra 20%.”

“…There is no such request, and please spare me the price increase.”

“What’s this, so boring.”

“First of all, there’s no way such a request would come to this Ester. It’s in the middle of nowhere, even more so than the countryside. Most of the adventurers here are just starting out or are complete beginners.”

Satoria lets out a sigh and gives me a reproachful look.

Indeed, as she said, the quality of adventurers in this town is not high.

“Well, if you want high-rank requests, why not just go to the royal capital? With your rank as a second-class adventurer, you could even form a party.”

“No thanks, group activities are a hassle.”

“This person is really… so? Then what brings you here today?”

Satoria was poking my intertwined arms with her finger, which was a bit annoying, so I moved my arm to shake her off and made her stop.

“I told you before that I was going to create a classroom, right? It’s finished now, so I came to look for students.”

“…Huh? Was that really true?”

“Huh? Of course.”

What is this guy talking about? When I looked at Satoria, I received a suspicious glare in return.

“Well… but it’s Endy-san, right? The Endy-san who talks about money, money, money all the time… in a classroom?”

“Choose your words carefully.”

I don’t think it’s entirely wrong, so I kept it in mind.

“Why is that? As a second-class adventurer, you should be earning quite well, right?”

“I’ve been saying this for a while, but I only got to rank two out of kindness, and my real skill is about rank two and a half. … It’s boring to only do adventurer work, and it’s not something you can keep doing forever. The earnings aren’t as good as you think either.”

“I see… So you felt anxious about the future.”

“…Yeah.”

Satoria, who had been nodding as if in agreement, then tilted her head.

“Even so, why a teacher?”

“I am, Satoria…”

“Y-yes…”

Deliberately pausing my words, I stare intently into the receptionist’s eyes.

Did Satoria sense my unusual atmosphere? She swallowed hard.

“I want to teach and guide my students, leading them to walk the path of glory.”

“……no, no.”

Unfortunately, it seemed I was seen through immediately, and after being glared at, I was even denied with hand gestures.

“That’s not Endy’s character, and besides, there aren’t any educators who think like that. I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“Yeah, that’s right. When it comes to teachers, they always seem to cram knowledge into us, don’t they?”

That’s the educational perspective of this world.

The theory of leadership in a dangerous world where threats from monsters and disasters from the heavens are always present.

“But you know… teaching is really something you do with each individual student in mind, isn’t it?”

In a voice that no one could hear, I murmured softly.

“Huh? Did you say something?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Hmm… Oh, then how about me? What do you think of me?”

“Huh?”

“That’s why you should teach me!”

Seeing Satoria stretch his hand straight out, I snorted.

“You are no good.”

“W-Why is that?!”

“Sorry, but I have the right to choose too.”

“Hmm… then, what kind of person would be good?”

“Well, you know, that’s it.”

In the future, he will become stronger than me, earn money, and then give me a return in the form of money.

“He’s diligent in his studies, ambitious, and not one to shy away from hard work—no, he actually enjoys it. Yes, yes.”

“There’s no way you actually think that. You have a face that looks like you’re not thinking of anything good.”

Thinking to myself, “That’s not true,” I looked around the guild and thought, “Well, time to go recruit some more students.”

Suddenly, a group of adventurers caught my eye.
