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 44

“Eve… it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

I was also happy to see them again so suddenly, and I could feel the corners of my mouth lifting.

I thought it was about time for the letter to arrive, but I never expected you to come in person.

“Did you take a vacation or something? So you came back to Estelle City, huh? How’s it going, what rank are you now as an adventurer?”

I’ve heard that in the letter, you became a first-class adventurer.

Eve answered with a beaming smile.

“I have reached the highest rank.”

“Oh, isn’t that amazing? … I thought you were amazing even when I was teaching you, but this is on another level. So, did you become a hero?”

“No, I declined the hero’s request. I wasn’t very interested.”

“Oh, ohh? I-I see. Well, I guess that could happen. If it’s a special grade, that might be enough.”

The title “Hero,” considered to be the most valuable in the world.

I can’t understand Eve’s sensibility of dismissing it with just a word of disinterest, but Eve must have her own thoughts on the matter.

Even though I thought that, I had a bad feeling inside me.

As if to support that, Eve, still wearing a broad smile, tries to speak.

I wonder why, but now when I see Eve’s smile, my bad feeling grows stronger.

“No, I’ve already quit being an adventurer.”

“Ah, I see. You’ve quit being an adventurer too… hmm?”

“…………”

“……..Ah, Eve?”

Yes

“Did you quit being an adventurer?”

Yes

“…………”

The bad feeling became a reality.

“Huh!?”

I couldn’t help but shout, stood up from my chair, and approached Eve.

Just as I was about to ask, I felt the gazes of the adventurers in the guild and had Eve sit in an empty seat.

When I started talking, I made sure to be careful not to raise my voice as much as possible.

“Oh, I’ll mute the sound.”

With a swift motion, Eve moved her fingers and cast a spell.

You probably made sure our voices didn’t leak outside, but that’s fine for now.

“Hey Eve… have you quit being an adventurer?”

Yes

“Hey, why? Did something happen?”

“No, I think it’s about time.”

“Is it about time…?”

What could be good about it? I don’t think anything is good about it.

Thinking that, while forcing a smile, I look at Eve, and she again breaks into a broad grin.

Right now, I even felt fear from that smile.

“I will support you under your guidance. I want to become a leader like you and support your life as well.”

“Uh…”

“Teacher, I’ve found something I want to do.”

“Oh, oh… I-I see. More than an adventurer?”

“Yes, it is my duty to assist you, teacher.”

Oh no, I can feel an overwhelming will from Eve’s eyes.

It’s clear that he won’t listen no matter what I say, and all I can do is force a strained smile.

Kicking the hero, quitting being an adventurer, wanting to come to me—honestly, after hearing all of that, I can only think that Eve has lost her mind.

But more importantly, the problem is…

(No, no, no, no! Money! What am I supposed to do about money? If I stop being an adventurer, I won’t make any money!!)

One of the gold veins disappeared in an instant.

It’s beyond a major problem; it’s a matter of life and death. This is seriously bad.

“Endy-san… I’m glad. To think that Eve-san would come back… It’s a big loss for the guild, but personally, I’m happy.”

(Shut up, you idiot Satoria! What are you talking about!)

“Mr. Satoria, it’s been a while. I think I’ll be coming around more often from now on, so please take care of me.”

“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? I’ve heard the rumors. Please, make yourself at home in this ester.”

Ignoring my despair, Eve and Satoria are chatting happily.

(Oh, it’s over… my perfect plan… Mu will send the money, so will that work out somehow?)

As I was calculating future finances, Eve’s hand grabbed mine.

When I looked over in surprise, Eve was staring at me with serious eyes.

“Teacher, I understand that you are feeling anxious right now. But it’s okay.”

“……Is that so……?”

When asked again, Eve nodded.

Although they don’t provide any solid reasons for being okay, they seem confident.

Eve released my hand and stood up from her seat.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”

“Oh? Ah, ah…”

Eve swiftly leaves the guild.

Then, the door opened again, and she returned with four girls in tow.

It was so early that they must have made him wait outside the guild.

The five people, including Eve, step into the magical realm she has created to block sound.

Only Eve took her seat, while the other four stood behind her with tense expressions.

“Sir, these four are the adventurer party ‘Fangs of the Star.'”

“……I told you to go solo, and yet you formed a party?”

As she glared and spoke, Eve shook her head vigorously, placing her fist on her chest.

“Impossible. We absolutely follow the teacher’s orders. Of course, we are not teaming up with any of them. We only helped them before.”

“…I see.”

It was a bit of an off-putting remark, but if they’re not in a party, it’s fine.

When it comes to unleashing Eve’s power, forming a party is the worst possible move.

“As I become a leader under your guidance, what matters most are the students. That’s why I brought them here.”

“Seriously?”

“Students find things with their own eyes. This is also something I learned from my teacher.”

“…but I won’t tell you.”

What I taught Eve were the principles and combat skills of an adventurer, as well as magic, but I didn’t teach her anything about guidance.

But based on my own experience, it means he stole from me.

I look at the four people standing behind Eve one by one.

It seemed like they had a fair amount of experience, but still had room for growth.

“Two of them have just reached the fourth level, and the other two are at the fifth level. I thought it would be just right in terms of guidance.”

“Well, that might be true in terms of skill.”

I look at the four people behind me once more, but it still doesn’t quite click.

If these four people had visited this guild alone, they probably wouldn’t have said a word.

(…No, maybe I’ve been too influenced by Eve and Mu.)

It’s impossible for talents like those two to come out so easily.

As I reconsidered, the girl standing farthest to the right among them spoke up.

“Um, um… Eve’s teacher?”

“It’s Endy. Endy Skyglass.”

“Mr. Endy, nice to meet you, I am Anna Francois. I have heard wonderful things about you from Eve. I would be grateful if you could guide me.”

Seeing the girl who called herself Anna suddenly bow her head, I found it strange and couldn’t help but voice my thoughts.

“Huh? Me teach you?”

Eve closed her eyes and shook her head.

“No, she is my responsibility.”

“Eh? R-really?”

“I told you before, didn’t I? What were you listening to?”

“Um, I was wondering if Eve-san and Endy-san could teach me together…”

“That can’t be right. It would trouble the teacher.”

Eve and Anna are having a conversation together.

When we talked, polite language was the default, so Eve’s current tone felt refreshing.

“I understand about the student… but seriously, why have you been glaring at me since earlier?”

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but the girl standing farthest to the left among the four girls has been glaring at me the whole time.

A fight? You want to go? I thought, and when I asked, he averted his gaze from me and called out to Eve.

“Lady Eve, you should indeed return to being an adventurer. It is as an adventurer that you truly shine.”

“Milky, I told you before, but I’m not going back to being an adventurer.”

“I don’t think this person is a great teacher.”

The girl who was called Milky continues to glare at me.

“Your rank is also second-class, lower than Lady Eve’s. I don’t understand why you call her a great teacher.”

“Well, in reality, my skill level is about semi-second class.”

When I respond, saying that what he’s saying is somewhat correct, that brat called Milky clenches his fist and tries to say something.

“……then even more――”

“Milky”

However, that voice was interrupted by Eve’s terrifyingly low voice.

“If you say any more, I’ll take your head right here. I won’t tolerate any insults towards the teacher.”

With a gaze and words, Milky turned pale.

The murderous intent being emitted was so intense that I even felt a bit of chill.

“…I’m sorry.”

“That’s fine. …Teacher, I apologize. She will thoroughly instill your greatness in her guidance. By nurturing them and having them spread their wings, the classroom will become even more famous. This will also resolve your concerns, teacher.”

“Well, yeah.”

While replying, I was staring off into the distance.

(If you had continued being an adventurer, we wouldn’t have needed any students…)

I started the class for the money, and recently I have been able to achieve that goal.

But I can’t tell Eve about that while she’s sparkling with excitement, talking about making the classroom famous.

She has already brought students with her, she has quit being an adventurer, and above all, she has been my huge sponsor all this time.

Honestly, if you had told me in a letter beforehand, I could have persuaded them easily.

Why don’t you report, contact, and consult? I thought that for a moment.
