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 32

“……Endy, proficiency level, B.”

One day, as the improvement of Mu’s magic formula was progressing smoothly, Mu came to my room and said something that made me think, “So, this day has finally come.”

“Fire magic, huh?”

“Yeah”

“……I see.”

Mu’s specialties in magic are fire, lightning, and darkness.

I thought they all had reached proficiency level C, and it was only a matter of time before they improved further.

Above C, it goes up to B, B+, A, and so on.

And my magic proficiency is C.

In other words, from here on out, we will be stepping into a new phase.

“……Come inside, let’s talk for a bit.”

“Huh?”

Mu tilted her head, but once she opened the door completely, she stepped inside.

I headed to the work desk where I had been checking the magic formula until just a moment ago, turned the chair around, and sat down.

Mu also saw that and sat down on the nearby bed.

“I always thought this day would come, but it came sooner than I expected. Truly, you’re a genius when it comes to magic.”

“Hehe”

“Just… as I mentioned before, my magic proficiency is capped at C. So I can’t use B or B+ level magic. Naturally, I haven’t improved any magic formulas that I can’t use.”

“Is this where it ends?”

In response to Mu’s obvious question, I shook my head.

“No, not yet. If you can’t do it, then I’ll do it. Even if I can’t use it, you can. So, I’ll continue improving the magic formula on my end. The tasks won’t change. It’s just that my burden will increase, but there’s no helping it.”

I had no intention of giving up.

Besides, even though I can’t use B-rank magic, I’ve thought about improving the magic formula.

Even so, I still can’t use it, and as expected, I haven’t touched the higher-level B+ rank or A rank magic.

“Are you… okay?”

“No problem. For now, I’ll improve the B-rank fire magic. Give me some time. In the meantime, you can work on improving another… still C-rank attribute magic, or focus on raising your proficiency.”

“…I’ll do it.”

“Huh?”

“Magic enhancement, I’ll do it too.”

“Are you also?”

When asked, Mu nodded.

“Two is better than one.”

“Well, that’s true. But you have a lot of things to do, right? Are you okay?”

Compared to me, who hasn’t actually mastered magic, Mu has already spent a lot of time improving the magic formula.

Earlier, Mu told me I was okay, but I think the same thing.

Even now, there are faint dark circles under Mu’s eyes.

“No problem.”

“Then let’s think about it together… yeah.”

I take the grimoire from the desk and turn the pages.

From there, I found the B-rank fire magic “Flame Lance,” which I thought was just right.

“Should I go with this one? What do you think?”

When I offered the book, Mu took it in hand and nodded.

“Mm, understood.”

Since it was returned, I will transcribe the general magic formula for Flame Lance onto paper.

After finishing the work, I closed the book and handed it to Mu.

Come to think of it, I suddenly ask Mu.

“Even if it’s a B rank, considering B+ or A, it’s pretty hard to level up with the monsters around here.”

You can move a little to Yutonia or Roselia and hunt some monsters, but what do you want to do?

Just like combat skills, as proficiency increases, it becomes harder to improve with weaker monsters.

So I suggested the Yutonia and Roselia territories where stronger monsters appear than here, but Mu shook his head.

“Okay, maybe, it’s fine.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“Yeah, monsters, probably unrelated.”

“……?”

I don’t really understand what he’s saying, but Mu’s eyes were straight and seemed to be convinced.

Because Mu is a genius when it comes to magic, the things she sees might be different from what an ordinary person like me sees.

“Well, if you say so…”

“Yeah, thanks. I’m going back to my room.”

“Ah, don’t overdo it too much.”

“This line is mine.”

When I called out to Mu as she got out of bed, she lifted the corners of her mouth slightly.

And then, they leave the room just like that.

While watching the door close with a bang, I couldn’t help but mutter.

“How should I put it… they feel more like troublemakers than students.”

It’s only natural since I haven’t really been teaching in the past few months, but Mu felt more like a partner working together rather than a student.

It’s not a bad thing, but it feels a bit fresh.

Taking a deep breath, I face the desk.

The advanced magic that I have never dealt with before, and I can’t use either.

I took a step towards that improvement.

The improvement of the advanced magic was more difficult than expected.

The difference between being able to use magic and not being able to use it is quite significant, and it was particularly painful that I couldn’t test whether the magic formulas I devised were truly efficient.

Among the many improvement proposals I considered, I had Mu use the one I thought was the best, but I wonder if the one I thought wasn’t good is actually inefficient.

Mu is independently devising magic formulas, so there was no time to review all the plans I had come up with.

If I could use magic too, I wouldn’t have to deal with such worries, but right now, I resented being an ordinary person.

“……Damn it”

In my private room, I lean on my desk and curse. It’s already late at night.

Lately, I’ve been working on it almost all day, but the improvement of the magic formula hasn’t progressed much.

The pace of Mu’s magic formula improvements, which had been going smoothly up to C rank, has significantly slowed down since reaching B rank.

Moreover, that’s not the only source of my troubles.

“He should be able to do much better than this…”

Since I can’t handle everything by myself, Mu is also helping to improve the magic formula.

As a result, Mu’s burden nearly doubled, and as a consequence, we had no choice but to slow down the pace of skill improvement.

Mu has already reached B rank in most magic attributes, but for the attributes she excels in—fire, lightning, and darkness—she remains at B rank as well.

That’s why it was frustrating to know that “even though I could actually be raised to a B+ rank, I’m not being raised on purpose.”

I’m fed up with the idea of being an ordinary person holding back a genius.

“Fuh”

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and shake your head.

And as I stretched upwards, my spine cracked.

A dull pain runs through me, and my neck hurts too, probably because I’ve been looking down for too long.

I thought that overworking myself too much could be a problem, so I stood up to take a break and drink some water.

When I step into the hallway, the coldness of the night sends a chill through the floor to the soles of my feet.

Suddenly, when I looked into Mu’s room, light was leaking out from the door.

“Are you still awake?”

As if being guided, I head towards the light and lightly knock on the door.

And when I quietly opened the door, Mu was facing the work desk.
“Hey, Mu… it’s already late at night.”

When I call out to the small back, Mu reacts slightly and turns its body halfway.

“Oh, Endy”

“I told you not to overdo it. Just go to bed already.”

“…Endy too”

“I’m fine. I’m not going to be fighting monsters or using magic or anything. But you’re different. Severe fatigue can lead to the worst outcomes, so make sure to rest properly.”

“……Yeah, once it’s done, I’ll rest.”

“Take it easy.”

Saying that, I closed the door to Mu’s room and headed to the living room.

I saw it on my way back to my room after drinking some water, and of course, the light in Mu’s room was still on.

And then, after working for about an hour, I opened the door to my room and checked from the hallway before going to bed.

Even so, it seemed that the light in Mu’s room was still on.
