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 14

One day, Eve and I were unusually in the classroom.

Right now, we are in the middle of a lecture. This time, the topic is also about adventurers.

In addition to the basics, I am teaching things that are good to remember when fighting monsters.

“Well, with that said, I’ve explained something like the basics of being an adventurer, but here I want to talk about solo adventurers. How much do you know about solo adventurers?”

If asked, Eve, who had been listening intently with a serious expression, would share everything she knew.

“……At least, among all the people I’ve seen so far, I don’t know anyone other than you, Sensei. A strong adventurer with high skills, capable of handling requests without any issues on their own…… would that be the case?”

“That guy is overrated, you know. Sure, there are cases where strong adventurers go solo. It’s probably because their skills don’t match with those around them or something. But for the most part, there are other reasons besides strength. After all, when it comes to being an adventurer, it’s definitely better to form a party.”

As the number of people increases, the power also multiplies.

That’s for sure, and while I’m a solo adventurer, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with forming a party.

“A solo adventurer is someone who has some reason they can’t do that. For example, they just don’t get along with groups. There might be some reason they can perform better alone than in a party, or they might have a secret they don’t want anyone to know, something like that.”

“…Are you also, sir?”

“Well, my situation is fine, isn’t it? And as I mentioned before in the Razvia territory, you fall under this too.”

The conversation was heading in a bad direction, so I forcibly corrected it.

It seemed that Eve sensed the atmosphere and didn’t mention it any further.

“……I’m not suited for combat at parties, you know. On top of that, since the teacher has also instructed me, it’s also to avoid being noticed by those around me, right?”

“I don’t think my teaching methods are that important, but it’s better than having them spread around or being found out.”

“That’s not true, I think your teachings are wonderful.”

Hearing Eve’s words, which she immediately denies, I realize I’ve become quite respected.

“When engaging in solo activities, the important thing is not to trust those around you too much. In solo play, you bear all the responsibility yourself. You have to deal with threats and potential threats like the environment, monsters, other adventurers, and people you happen to meet on-site.”

Especially when dealing with other adventurers, never trust them too much. Always be suspicious of them somewhere. Got it?

“…………”

Eve didn’t answer this time.

“Hey, are you listening?”

“……Is that also true for you, Sensei?”

What came back was a slightly weak voice and a questioning gaze.

“That’s true on the battlefield… but as a teacher, I need you to trust what I say in the classroom.”

“Ah! Y-You’re right.”

Eve slightly lifts the corners of her mouth upon hearing the reply.

Watching her pat her chest in relief, I felt a bit of unease.

Without noticing my feelings at all, Eve now directs a stern gaze at me.

“Teacher, I have just one complaint.”

“……What is it?”

“You just used the term ‘overrated’ to describe yourself, but I don’t think so. You are the greatest adventurer I know.”

“Stop it. I’m not that kind of person, and I know because I’m teaching you, but you have far more talent.”

I honestly conveyed what I’ve been feeling lately.

I thought that would make them understand, but…

“That’s not true!”

With an unprecedented volume, Eve confronts me.

Seeing the strong eyes, I thought it was going to be a hassle.

I arch my body, cutting off Eve’s words as she tries to say something more, bringing the conversation to an end.

“Got it. Got it. I won’t call it overrated anymore. So, this conversation is over. Is that okay?”

“……Yes”

It seemed like she wasn’t fully convinced, but since I said it was over, Eve reluctantly accepted it.

“Let’s get back to the point, but not everyone is as good as you think. It’s too late once you’ve been deceived. Remember this well.”

“……Understood.”

I have taught Eve not to trust people several times before.

Every time, Eve would respond with “I understand” and her attitude, but I couldn’t believe that it truly resonated with her.

It wasn’t that they weren’t listening or didn’t understand; it felt like there was nothing that resonated with them in the first place.

A crack appears in the space.

The number of cracks that opened around the target is three.

Thin pillars of fire shoot from each, piercing the target from various directions.

Due to the beam of fire, Mr. Ittetsu’s handmade magical target left a black circular stain.

The fire magic “Flame Line” is quite a powerful spell for an E-rank proficiency.

Originally, one would have been sufficient, but due to the optimization of the magic formula, Eve was able to shoot three.

It’s been only a few months since I handed over the notes on improving the magic formula.

Despite everything, Eve had completed the optimization of magic up to E-rank.

To be honest, I thought I didn’t have the talent for swordsmanship, but it seems that was my naive assumption.

Eve’s talent extends even to magic.

“How is it, Sensei?”

Eve, who had been observing the target, turned to me standing behind her and asked.

I haven’t been able to keep up with the training lately, but it seems I’ve been noticed by my presence.

“Not bad. If I can do this much, it’s quite an achievement.”

When praised, Eve raises the corners of her mouth just a little.

“Thank you very much! Ah, but with this, all the fire magic I can use has been improved.”

However, he reported back as if he had just remembered.

It seems the fire magic is already over. As expected, the learning speed is impressive.

“Well, it’s about time. Your growth in swordsmanship is remarkable, and you’ve also learned fire magic. At this rate, you’ll be able to master other types of magic too—”

“Teacher, I want to learn water magic next. Could you lend me your secret notebook?”

I thought I had more than enough skills, but Eve ended up demanding new water magic from me.

“…………”

“Teacher?”

“No, it’s nothing. Water… just wait a moment.”

I said that to Eve and returned to the classroom.

I opened the door to the hut, stepped inside, and took out the notebook I had made about water magic from the bookshelf.

After checking the contents of the notebook to see if there were any issues, I let out a sigh.

“……It’s time.”

Eve still seems to want to learn from me, but I’ve taught her enough about the basics.

It’s not that there isn’t anything left to learn, but if I make use of what I’ve been taught so far, I should be able to manage from here on out.

Moreover, Eve has that kind of talent.

If it’s her, she should be able to surpass even the C rank I’m currently mastering, and if not, she could at least reach B or even A.

Staying here any longer could end up being a waste of time.

Besides, Eve is opening her heart to me too much right now.

Honestly, it feels just like a chick that has just hatched from its egg seeing its parent for the first time.

At this rate, there is even a possibility that I won’t be able to stand on my own.

It is important to listen to what the teacher, who is a leader, has to say.

However, that won’t do. It is the students themselves who must stand on their own and move forward.

As a teacher, I can’t always be by Eve’s side.

“…And besides, it would be a problem if you stayed here forever. You need to hurry back to being an adventurer, get stronger, and earn some money. The monsters around here are too weak for you to grow much.”

Muttering to myself, I lower my gaze to the notebook in front of me.

I’ll hand over the notebook; it can’t be helped.

However, I must somehow tackle Eve’s final remaining task soon.

“Guess there’s no helping it.”

I wasn’t keen on it, but thinking of Eve, I steeled myself.
