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 25

Right outside the house, a kid was collapsed.

A small kid with black hair, wearing a gray mage’s robe, is lying face down.

I can’t believe someone died right in front of my house; this is the worst.

Gugyururururururururu.

As I was thinking about what to do with the body, the kid in front of me’s stomach growled.

It seems that he is still alive.

“Hey kid, this is my house. Get out.”

The kid flinched and looked up.

The crimson eyes wander aimlessly, and after a moment, they catch mine.

Hunger

“……Huh?”

I utter a single word, and the kid stares at me intently.

From those eyes, no emotions can be read. Even when asked again, the only response is silence.

I stared for a while, but the kid still didn’t budge.

“Moving, impossible.”

“……It’s a problem if you collapse here. Go to the town or something.”

“Impossible”

“……You bastard.”

Being told “impossible, impossible” makes me a bit irritated.

After barging onto someone else’s land without permission and refusing to leave, I started to think that it might be okay to forcibly kick this brat out.

Hunger

“…………”

Hunger

“Ugh, shut up already!”

Because they keep repeating one word, I can’t help but scream and retreat inside the house.

Walking down the hallway with footsteps, passing through the living room and heading to the kitchen.

I picked up the bag of bread I was planning to eat tomorrow morning and strode back to the entrance.

When I forcefully opened the front door, the brat was still there.

“Here, eat this and go home.”

If you take the bread out of the bag and offer it, the kid will, after a while, muster the strength to get up and sit on the ground.

And then, after taking the bread in hand and staring at it intently, I took a bite.

It seemed like he was quite hungry, as he was devouring the bread with great enthusiasm.

Seeing that, I resented the fact that breakfast would be smaller tomorrow.

The kid was eating quite vigorously, but he didn’t choke and finished the bread.

And when she realizes that she has run out of bread, she looks at me.

To be precise, the bag with the bread in my hand.

“Demand”

“Y-you bastard…”

I stretched out my hand and, desperately suppressing my anger at the kid demanding more bread, handed over an extra piece.

The kid, with a blank expression, bites into the bread once again. One, two, and as more are demanded, the bag eventually becomes empty.

With this, my breakfast for tomorrow is gone.

Did the brat who stuffed my precious food into his belly feel satisfied? He let out a big sigh.

And then I started staring blankly in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

“……Hey, that’s enough. Go home.”

“Nowhere to go”

“I don’t know.”

Even though I retort back, the kid looks at me as if he doesn’t care at all.

“Somehow”

“Huh? Why me…? This makes no sense.”

“I’ll do anything. Housework.”

It seems this brat has gotten a bit too cocky and is planning to leech off me.

Thinking “not a chance,” I give a cold glare and spit it out.

“See you, go back to the city.”

“Wait”

“Hey! Let go of me!”

The kid, who had been lying down just a moment ago, clings to the hem of my pants with such quick movements that it almost seems like an act.

Even though I try to move my legs, they are held down with incredible force, and I can’t move them properly.

“I don’t need it! I’ve got enough!”

I thought about forcibly kicking him because he was being so persistent.

Even though I put force into my legs and swing, the brat won’t leave my feet at all.

“Please”

“You… hey, you…”

No matter how much I moved my legs, the kid clung to me like a bug stuck to a tree, and I resigned myself to it.

“Someone, do something.”

“……So what can you do?”

“…magic”

Huh? I thought.

Indeed, the child’s attire is that of a wizard.

I thought they might be a fairly strong wizard, so I decided to listen to what they had to say.

“Then show me how much magic you can use.”

“Yeah”

The brat releases my leg and sits back down.

And then, rummaging through his clothes, he pulled out a translucent plate and handed it over.

Yes

“Are you out of your mind?”

It was surprising that there was someone other than Eve who would offer a status plate to a first-time acquaintance.

But that means even kids are having a hard time.

Snatching the plate as if to grab it, I glance over it.

The status of magic is mostly F. Other magic and combat-related skills like swordsmanship are G.

To be honest, it’s beyond weak to the point where it’s unbearable to look at.

With this level of strength, they would be in the novice adventurer class.

“……This is pointless. Go home.”

“Impossible”

“Huh?”

If I ask again, the kid shakes his head.

And then they stared straight at me.

“I ran away.”

“……You…”

What a troublesome case, I thought, holding my head.

“Where is home?”

“Mark Magica”

“……Just as I thought. It’s damn far, isn’t it?”

Here, to the northeast of Cielaira, lies the Mark Magica Kingdom, which produces many wizards.

However, since my classroom is located at the western edge of Ciel Era, we can say that Mark Magica is the farthest country from here.

Rather, it’s impressive that you managed to come all this way alone.

“Four months”

It seems that it took quite a long time to get here.

“……If you’re running away from home, your parents must be worried too.”

When I said the obvious, the kid shook his head again.

“Parents, not interested.”

“……That can’t be true. They must be searching deep down……”

Even though I said that, I know that there are parents who are not like that in reality, and I can’t help but feel a bit deflated when I think back to my own parents being like that.

At the same time, I thought, “This has become a hassle.”

Either way, I want the kid’s parents to come and take him away right now…

“…What’s your name?”

While I was thinking about such things, the kid suddenly asked.

“It’s Endy. Endy Skyglass.”

“Job?”

“Huh? What the hell… tsk, it’s a teacher.”

“Teacher?”

I thought they were asking too much, so I answered simply and briefly to avoid dragging it out.

“I’m running a class, you know.”

Even though he spoke in a dismissive manner, the kid didn’t seem to care at all.

I turned my gaze to the house behind me and tilted my head.

“Classroom? No presence.”

“This is my house. It’s not a classroom.”

“Is it… amazing?”

Although I was irritated by the barrage of questions, this one actually made me feel a bit better.

“Yeah. Even so, we produced top-tier adventurers.”

There is only one so far, but Eve is already a second-class adventurer and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she’s top-notch.

“Really…?”

However, this time I got the answer wrong.

At my words, the kid’s eyes sparkled just a little.

“Teach me.”

“…………”

“I want to do something about the magic.”

“Go home.”

Since the conversation seems to be heading in a troublesome direction, I tell them to ignore it and leave the place.

However, the brat didn’t back down even an inch.

“Confidence… none?”

“Huh?”

The sudden words were infuriating.

“You bastard…”

Just when I was seriously considering punching him, I told myself to calm down.

The other person is just a kid. Why get irritated by a kid’s words? You’re an adult, right?

“…I have the right to choose too.”

“I have motivation. Do you lack confidence?”

“…………”

That was close, that really hit.

If I’m not careful, I might draw my sword right here and now and end up cutting down that brat.

I hold my head and sigh, thinking about what to do.

This brat… no, this little punk. To deal with him, it might be faster to make him lose interest.

“Listen well. I’m educating for my own sake. What I’m looking at is the money my students will earn in the future and give to me. That’s why I only look at the talented ones, and that’s why I started the classroom. I see my students as nothing but cash cows.”

I thought that if someone were this greedy and self-centered about money, they would surely lose interest.

“That’s fine, I’ll do anything.”

However, the brat’s words did not change.

In those straight eyes, there is a light of determination that almost makes me feel overwhelmed.

Shaking it off, I muttered, “No.”

“A classroom isn’t a charity. You can’t teach for free.”

It’s this guy who collapsed from hunger; there’s no way he has any money.

However, education cannot exist without money in the first place.

In that sense, when I indirectly told him to give up, the kid looked down.

“…………”

“Got it? Then quietly go to Mark Magica—”

Just when I thought he finally understood, the kid rolled up the sleeve of his left arm with his right hand.

And then she took off the bracelet that was on her wrist and handed it to me.

“This”

“…………”

Seeing the offered silver bracelet, I widened my eyes in disbelief.

What the brat is handing over now is a magic power amplification device made by a wizard.

Anyone who is a magician can create it. However, it takes endless years to channel magic into it, tame it, and turn it into an amplification device.

In this world, the means to easily become strong are highly valuable.

To deal with the ever-increasing number of monsters, strong equipment and large numbers are absolutely essential.

That’s why the magic power amplification device created by the wizard can fetch a considerable amount of money if sold.

In fact, it will be far more money than what Eve initially gave me.

In other words, considering this bracelet, there is no problem with the gold. None at all.

“……Do you even understand what that is, you idiot?”

“Magic amplification device. Thirteen years, I spent.”

If you use the analysis magic, it certainly has that level of quality.

To create this magic amplification device, he spent every single day for thirteen years without fail.

Only after going that far can a wizard finally create a magic amplification device that suits them.

To put it simply, it’s my partner.

The magic amplification devices circulating in the market are the second and third ones made by adult wizards with ample magical power.

However, what the kid just handed over seemed like the only thing he ever made.

“If you let that go, your power will drastically decrease.”

The magic amplification device is effective no matter who uses it, but it works best when the creator uses it.

However, conversely, the magic amplification device made by someone else does not have the same effect as the one I made.

In other words, this guy will have to spend another thirteen years to create a magic amplification device of the same level.

“How could I possibly accept something so grand?”

Of course, I refuse. But.

“Please”

The kid won’t back down. He doesn’t even try to pull back the offered bracelet.

I’m just waiting for him to receive it.

“…What if I were a bad person? What if I stole it and ran away?”

“Well, this is all there is.”

“…………”

In the kid’s eyes, it was clear and straight, conveying a sense of determination.

I realized, this guy has no intention of backing down.

“……Damn it.”

He mutters softly and scratches his head.

Reluctantly, I decided to put it on hold and make do with a vague response.

“……Fine. Then I’ll consider it a trial period.”

“Shall we… do it?”

“It’s a trial period. I don’t know if you have any talent or not.”

I will conduct the class and then send him home citing his lack of talent as the reason.

I decided that I would just return the bracelet at that time.

If I have them take a few classes and then tell them they haven’t improved, the kid should understand.

“Yeah, got it.”

For now, it seems the kid is satisfied with that.

A temporary contract, which is likely to be short, has been established.

“So? What’s your name?”

Come to think of it, I hadn’t asked, so I asked for their name.

The kid looked straight at me and opened his small mouth.

“Mu. Mu Asgard.”
