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 10

One evening, I was giving a lesson to Eve in the classroom.

The content I am instructing this time is about adventurers.

“This is a review from the last time, but what is the most common formation for an adventurer’s party?”

“Divided into front line and back line, the front line includes swordsmen, while the back line includes wizards and priests.”

“That’s right. What are the main countries of origin for each?”

“The front line is here in Cielera and from the west in Seiran. The mages are from Marqumagica, and the main clerics are from Aseras.”

“Alright, sounds good.”

Confirming that Eve had fully understood, I nodded.

It seems that she is diligently taking notes in the notebook she bought in Estelle’s town, and I knew she was reviewing at night, but it seems to be paying off.

“Alright, let’s continue from where we left off. Adventurers are tasked with hunting monsters. There are monster repellents, but they’ve been proven ineffective against large numbers of monsters. The ever-increasing monsters can’t be dealt with by the soldiers each country has alone. The government has various responsibilities, such as maintaining public order, responding to magical disasters, forming joint fronts with other countries, and paving roads for quick access. That’s why adventurers are responsible for the parts that can’t be reached.”

“It’s an important role, isn’t it?”

“That’s true. But adventurers are basically connected by money. There are many rough and hot-tempered people among them. Even though there is a management organization called a guild, it can’t fully manage everything. …Fights between adventurers are a daily occurrence, and they can even escalate to betrayal or murder if things go wrong.”

Eve frowned at the explanation about the adventurers.

“That’s why you should keep information like status plates as hidden as possible. Form a party while maintaining a certain distance, and then complete the requests. Well, it might be okay to drink a bit of alcohol as a reward for a successful request, but other than that, it’s generally best not to get involved.”

“Indeed…”

Eve is summarizing what I said in her own words and writing it down in her notebook.

After waiting a little for her to finish writing, I stared at Eve.

“Especially on the battlefield, never let your guard down. In the city, the safety is still relatively high, but once you step outside, you’re the only one who can protect yourself. There are even stories of people pretending to be on a mission just to kill party members.”

“Listen well, other people are not as sincere to you as you think. So from the beginning, be suspicious. It’s even okay to think they might betray you someday.”

“I understand…”

Eve answers, but her response is unusually hesitant, and she looks troubled.

“Can’t believe it? You had your reward taken away by that big-headed… no, that Tei… whatever, didn’t you?”

“N-no, it was because I was weak and useless…”

“You know, giving you the entire reward just because of that is not right. That defeats the purpose of completing the task.”

“Sorry……”

“Even if you apologize to me…”

There is one thing I understood from this class.

Eve unconditionally trusts others. She seems to believe that people are inherently good and that any corruption is her own fault.

An extremely low self-evaluation is probably due to that as well.

However, reality is harsh. In reality, there are both good people and bad people.

If you believe in everyone and everything, you’ll eventually get hurt.

Eve’s current state is dangerous.

In Eve’s guidance, which had been going smoothly until now, signs of trouble began to appear.

That day, I was heading to the Adventurers’ Guild in the town of Estelle.

Eve is not here because she is in charge of hunting monsters.

“It’s unusual, isn’t it? For you, Endy-san, to have business with me.”

The person I’m after is right next to me, sending a scrutinizing gaze.

I felt a bit annoyed and hurried the conversation.

“Tell me everything you know about how Eve got here.”

“Oh, I was worried because Eve hasn’t been coming here lately, but it seems like you’ve been keeping a close eye on things. Thank you, Mr. Endy♪”

“Annoying, hurry up.”

If you glare at him, Satoria will say “Yes, yes” and smile.

But he quickly switches to a serious expression and tells me about Eve’s background.

“I’ve told you before about how Eve woke up in Carnelia, aspired to be a soldier, but failed and became an adventurer instead, right? At that time, it was Iris… the guild receptionist in the town of Carnelia who took an interest in Eve. Apparently, Eve’s contribution to the party was low, and there were numerous complaints from the party members.”

“Did we have that many complaints?”

“It seems so. Apparently, there were times when members would get seriously injured.”

Satoria’s story seemed suspicious to me, who usually trains Eve.

I can’t believe the evaluation of Eve, who is so outstanding and talented.

“So… a bad trend started among the adventurers. They began to think of Eve as someone who would work for free. Carrying their luggage, filling in numbers… or worst-case scenario, being used as bait. At first, I think the adventurers tried to coordinate with Eve as part of their party. However, in the end, I heard from Iris in a letter that the adventurers were deliberately excluding Eve from their coordination.”

“I see, so they were treated not as baggage but as useful numbers, or at worst, as shields.”

“I think it’s a terrible story.”

“Who knows. Well, it’s just the way things go. If they get killed by the cargo, it would be a problem for them too.”

“Such a way to say it!”

Satoria, openly expressing her anger, shouts.

Ignoring that, I will continue.

“It’s a fact. However, I have some thoughts about the way it’s being done. If someone has been an adventurer for a certain period, they shouldn’t be in such a situation in the first place, and they should be recommended to pursue a different path. Even if not, they should be allowed to go solo. It’s appalling to hear that they’re being treated like prey.”

“……In the end, Iris thought the environment was terrible and recommended to Eve-san that she move to the neighboring Beneldia territory. However, you see…… the guild receptionists in Beneldia are quite unreliable, to say the least……”

“Feels like it’s all the same in the end, huh?”

Even if you change the environment, if you haven’t changed the cause, it’s the same thing.

Taking time will yield the same result.

Satoria lowered her eyes and nodded.

“Iris had anticipated it in advance and even sent me a letter.”

And after a while, Eve-san came to Estelle. I think Iris probably recommended her to come here in a letter.

“I see. So, you asked Tei… whatever, and it was like that.”

“I feel bad for what I did to Eve.”

While watching Satoria, who speaks in a subdued voice, I trace Eve’s past career in my mind.

Eve, who had no memory, had a desire to help others.

On top of that, the receptionist at Cornelia is causing trouble.

Since the first thing I encountered after losing my memory was people’s kindness, I’ve continued like that until now.

If I had been exposed to painful betrayal and malice in Cornelia, I might have somewhat believed that there is evil in people.

“Deep-rooted.”

It seems quite difficult to instill feelings of suspicion towards others in Eve.
