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 43

“I’m bored.”

In the guild of Ester Town, I mumbled while leaning over the table.

“You’re back to being the same old indecisive Endy, aren’t you? Haven’t you found your student yet?”

“Seriously, there’s no one who clicks with me.”

When I responded to Satoria’s words sitting next to me, a big sigh echoed in my ears.

“Isn’t it always like that lately? When it was Mr. Mu… right? You didn’t come to the guild at all.”

“Back then, I was really busy with various things, so I couldn’t come to the guild. But now that Mu has graduated… I just don’t feel motivated.”

“So you were so motivated back then that you didn’t even come here. …Now, there’s hardly a trace of it.”

“Shut up. Leave me alone.”

After graduating from Mu, I went to the guild to observe, but there wasn’t anyone who caught my eye.

I also visited the town of Iseria, but the result was the same.

“…Besides, it’s not like we’re in such a hurry.”

“Huh? What?”

“It’s nothing.”

Thanks to Eve’s remittance, my finances are quite comfortable.

The urgent need to find students when establishing the classroom is no longer necessary.

Additionally, it seems that Mu has been recommended to the Magic Tower and will soon become an assistant professor.

It said in the letter that the salary is quite good, so I’ll send it eventually.

As expected of the gold mine I discovered, I know it well.

“Hmm… or rather, don’t you have any old acquaintances or anything?”

“Huh?”

“Well, but Endy-san is a second-class adventurer, right? In that case, you probably have acquaintances with strong adventurers in other towns, so maybe you could get introduced to someone who could become your apprentice through them… or something?”

“……He’s not here.”

“Huh? They’re not here?”

“……To be precise, they’re no longer around. Sure, there were people I formed parties with or talked to when I first became an adventurer, but we either drifted apart after just one time or they were killed by monsters.”

“Oh… excuse me.”

“Tch”

Satoria came to apologize, but she seems to have misunderstood a bit.

In the first half, no one could keep up with my rapid growth due to cheating, and in the second half, I was so focused on improving my magic and combat skills that I didn’t have time for anything else.

It’s not like someone close to me died or anything like that.

Since it was a hassle to correct it, I didn’t, and Satoria changed the subject.

“By the way, Endy-san. As I mentioned before, please stop drinking alcohol in the guild. This is not a tavern.”

“I told you not to eat before. I said you could do anything else.”

“I didn’t say that much!”

“Come on, don’t say that. Want to drink too?”

“Were you even listening to me!? Besides, I’m on duty, so it’s impossible!”

“It’s a top-quality item ordered from the royal capital, you know?”

“……I-I’m sorry, but I’m on duty right now.”

When I gave him a sidelong glance, he coughed lightly.

“By the way, have you heard about the magic disaster that struck Aseras?”

“You’re really bad at changing the subject, aren’t you?”

“Did you hear?”

“……Ah, I heard. It’s the one that fell in the Exas territory, right?”

When I replied while being annoyed by the loud shouting in my ear, Satoria excitedly said, “Yes!”

“I heard there were many injuries, but no fatalities! Isn’t that amazing? This is the second time in a row we’ve managed to minimize the damage.”

“Well, given the location and all.”

“There’s a sage with exceptional foresight, right? Is that why?”

“No, that was supposed to be a prediction of the appearance of a large monster, so it doesn’t matter. Rather, the fact that the reinforcements from Mark Magica were able to pass through the Azazela territory smoothly is what really matters.”

To travel from the Mark Magica Kingdom to the Exas Domain of the Areslas Holy Kingdom, it is necessary to cross the Azazela Domain.

And that Azazela territory was previously an area that had been attacked by a swarm of flying dragons.

“By annihilating the dragon swarm before the calamity struck, the Azazela territory… well, more specifically, the roads, didn’t suffer any damage. That’s why the Mark Magica defense squad made it in time. If it had been Cielaira or Seiran, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

“So, does that mean the previous magical disaster was also prevented because it fell into the hands of Maruku Magika?”

I nodded in response to Satoria, who was asking with a serious expression.

“The Four Saints of the Aseras Holy Kingdom predict the location of the magical disaster’s descent, and only then can the Mark Magica defense unit set up multiple barriers in the sky to finally prevent it. Quick communication, the evacuation of residents in the descent area, and above all, how quickly the defense unit can reach the descent location are crucial.”

“…So the damage from the previous magical disasters was even more severe, huh?”

“It’s like a natural disaster. A powerful blow suddenly comes from the sky, so I think we’re doing pretty well just to be able to respond to it.”

When I honestly expressed what I was thinking, Satoria’s expression darkened and she muttered.

“Will we be able to prevent the next calamity…?”

“Well, it depends on where it falls. If it’s at the far west of Seiran or the far east of Cielera, it would be impossible, but if it’s at Promia in Aseras, we might be able to prevent it.”

“…Mr. Endy, what do you think causes magical disasters? There seem to be various opinions, such as divine punishment, natural phenomena, or attacks from the abandoned territories.”

“I don’t know. There’s no point in thinking about it.”

Since I’m not interested at all, when I answer like that, Satoria glares at me intently.

I thought it might get a bit noisy, so I decided to respond.

“Well, since there’s no set place for them to fall and they’re not being dropped in a concentrated manner, it doesn’t seem like an attack, does it? If it were me, I’d drop 100 on Promia first, then another 100 on Mistoria.”

At my words about destroying the capitals of the Aseras Holy Nation and the Marque Magica Magic Nation, Satoria frowned.

“How on earth do you come up with such things… I have to admit, though, I get it.”

After talking about that, Satoria suddenly broke into a lewd grin.

“By the way… according to your earlier explanation, the reason we were able to prevent this magical disaster was thanks to the annihilation of the dragon swarm in the Azazela territory, right? So that means, it’s all thanks to you, Ms. Eve. Ah, you must be feeling quite proud, aren’t you, Professor Endy?”

“Disgusting, don’t call yourself a teacher. It gives me goosebumps.”

“Isn’t it awful?”

I found Satoria leaning on me annoying, so I moved my shoulder to shake him off.

When I casually mentioned what I was thinking, they smiled and their veins popped out.

“But you’re happy, right? Right?”

“I’ve told you before, but if you don’t fix that annoying part of yours, you’ll stay unpopular.”

“It’s only a few people who don’t like it, so it’s okay.”

“By the way, I’m the leader.”

“Would you say that in front of the person themselves…?”

“Sorry, but I’m the type who says what I want to say to someone’s face.”

“Endy, you should definitely fix that part of yourself.”

“Yes, yes, I understand――”

As I was talking to Satoria like that, the guild door opened.

Without thinking, I turn my gaze and see long white hair.

The person who came in was a woman, and although I could only see her profile, I felt a sense of nostalgia at her appearance.

She systematically looked around every corner of the guild, ignoring everyone in between, and eventually made eye contact with me.

At that moment, the expressionless face suddenly brightened up and quickly headed this way.

“Oh, seriously?”

After I involuntarily muttered, she met my gaze and smiled sweetly.

“Teacher! It’s been a while!”

My first student, Eve, said that.
