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 21

In the end, that day, I healed the seven arrogant men with my healing magic, tied them up with ropes, and left the place.

Returning to the city of Estelle with Eve, I reported the events to Satoria.

When I shared that Taiga had tried to attack Eve with seven people, and that I had subdued them and left them in the forest, Satoria immediately took action.
Another adventurer headed to the forest on a request and secured the tigers

While I was listening to various circumstances and investigating them, some disgusting facts also came to light.

They are not first-time offenders; there have been other victims as well.

It seems there were those who were killed by male adventurers and those who became playthings for female adventurers.

The guild took this matter seriously, revoked the adventurer qualifications of Taiga and the others, and decided to hand them over to the country as criminals.

This world is harsh and filled with monsters, but when incidents like this happen up close, it becomes clear that humans are just as much of a threat as the monsters.

Satoria deeply regretted introducing Taiga to Eve and apologized, but well, I hope this will somewhat correct that annoying personality.

And on a clear day some time after that incident, with the trees swaying in the wind, Eve and I were facing each other.

The location is in front of the classroom; today is graduation day.

“It was a short time, but you did well. You worked harder than anyone else, and naturally, the results matched, no, exceeded that effort. From now on, go back to being an adventurer and do it solo. With your skills, you might even one day glimpse the depths of martial arts or the essence of magic.”

If I sent her off with some parting words, Eve looked straight at me and nodded, her eyes slightly glistening.

I nodded back at Eve and first handed over the pouch of gold coins I had brought.

“Take this. It was originally planned for a year, but it ended up being finished before that.”

“Well, but, teacher… this is…”

Eve hesitated, perhaps not expecting to get it back.

But I pressed the pouch of gold coins against her light armor.

“Just take it. You finished early because you were so skilled. Think of it as a reward for that. You’ll need it for various things in the future.”

“…I can’t believe the teacher is actually giving me money.”

Amazed, Eve picked up the bag of gold coins.

I thought the words at that time were rude, but since today is graduation day, I’ll let it slide.

If I create a little favor here, it might come back to me even bigger later on, so it’s not entirely without calculation.

“I’m a teacher too, you know. Sometimes I have to spend my own money for the sake of my students… And take this too.”

As if to say, “This is the main point,” he hands over the paper bag.

Receiving it, Eve peered inside.

“Wh-what is this…?”

“It’s a copy of the notes I made for improving the magic formulas. I’ve created them for all attributes. They’ll be useful in the future.”

Since Eve started learning fire magic, I had been making copies of the notes.

The reason I didn’t participate in her combat training or monster hunting is because of that.

The time was tight, but since I only needed to copy the necessary parts, I somehow managed to finish by today.

“This… the teacher was working on it at night. They said it was because it was hard to understand, but… was it for me?”

Eve knew that I was making copies, but it seems she didn’t think they were for her, and she has a stunned expression on her face.

“Yeah.”

“…What were you planning to do if I had left Estelle like that?”

“…Actually, I didn’t think about it. I realized I forgot to give it after I got home.”

“What is that…?”

Eve chuckled softly, covering her mouth with her fist.

After she laughed for a while, she looked at me with a smile.

“I got slashed by the teacher and couldn’t even get the magic notebook, it was such a loss. Really, I’m so glad to be back as the teacher’s student.”

“……Yeah……”

Although I end up giving a vague response, Eve doesn’t miss it and smiles at me.

“Because it really hurt, you know?”

“……I’m sorry.”

“No, I’m fine.”

Well, since Eve seems to be laughing happily, she doesn’t seem to mind at all.

Regaining my composure, I face Eve.

Just like the notebook where she compiled the previous fire attribute magic formulas, Eve holds the paper bag close to her chest.

It’s nice that they treat me with care, but it’s also a bit embarrassing.

“Don’t get too overconfident. It only contains magic formulas up to C-rank that I can use, you know?”

“Yes, I will definitely master everything and show you.”

“Everything… huh? Sounds good, go ahead and do it.”

My efforts up until now will probably be easily mastered by Eve.

There is a bit of sadness about it, but if it can be a source of nourishment for her growth, then it’s not so bad.

“Teacher”

Eve looks straight at me again.

And then, deeply, deeply bowed my head.

“Ah, well done. Congratulations, Eve. Go. Go and show the world your strength.”

“Yes, I’m off!”

Saying that, Eve turned around and paused for a moment.

She tried to turn around and look at me several times, but in the end, she never turned around even once and walked away.

I stand there, continuing to watch her back as she walks away.

In the end, Eve did not look back until that figure disappeared from sight.

“……Is it over?”

Take a deep breath, and then exhale.

It felt both short and long, and rich in content, as I reflected on the past.

Looking up, there was a clear blue sky without a single cloud in sight.

Eve, graduation.
