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 49

“Huh!!”

Louis swings the wooden sword with single-minded determination, striking fiercely.

While deflecting it with a sheathed sword, I was intently observing the movements.
(The technique… no, it’s a technique that shows the time and effort put into it. It’s not bad… not bad at all, but…)

When I think of myself as a level 5 adventurer, I still feel lacking.

“Right there!”

Combat skill “Strong Slash.”

Receive and deflect the powerful strike swung down from above firmly.

“Ugh!”

By clashing swords with Louis like this, I can fully understand his true abilities.

The sword’s cutting technique, body movement, sharp eyesight and perception, and the strength of combat skills.

Even considering all of that, I am still lacking as a Rank 5 adventurer.

(This guy… as I thought…)

Seeing Louis like that, I clenched my teeth in my heart.

A man who has spent the longest time observing through the memory crystal.

That guy and Louis’s figure just can’t help but overlap.

“That’s enough. It’s fine now.”

Since I have confirmed all the skills I could verify, I tell Yuuri to stop the mock battle.

Louis stopped swinging his sword and was breathing heavily, perhaps from the exhaustion of the past.

With hands on my knees, I am breathing heavily.

Seeing that figure, I think again.

While I have a bad feeling about it, it seems suspicious when asked if it’s confirmed.

It might just be that I happen to look like my past self, and I might be jumping to conclusions by assuming that I’m also at my growth limit.

No, rather, that might actually be more likely.

(Then, the first thing I should do is eliminate that possibility.)

“Um, Endy-san?”

When called out, noticing that Yuuri had finished catching his breath, he replied with a “Yeah.”

“How was it? Personally, I think I still have a long way to go, so I want to keep honing my sword skills even more…”

“In that case, first, let’s improve your skills through combat. It would be good to get used to fighting itself by doing mock battles and monster hunting on your own.”

“Monster hunting… is it?”

“Ah, this whole area is owned by me. Exterminating monsters, including the surrounding land, is a daily task. Right now, Eve and I are doing it, but you’ll have to do it too.”

The certified monster hunting that Eve and Mu have also experienced.

When I shared that, Louis showed a worried expression.

“Uh, alone… by myself… it’s a bit scary.”

“It’s okay. At first, I’ll be with you. I won’t participate in the battle, but if things get dangerous, I’ll help you.”

“Th-that’s reassuring! Thank you, Endy-san!”

Seeing the constantly changing expressions, I felt that Louis was gradually getting used to it as well.

I nod and playfully tap the sheathed sword on my shoulder.

“Alright, let’s continue the mock battle. I’ll point out any areas of concern during the fight so you can correct them. Keep that in mind and let’s improve your movements.”

“Yes, please!”

Seeing Louis respond cheerfully, I drew my sword.

As for the bad feeling I still had, I tried to convince myself it was just a misunderstanding.

Teaching Anna is about the recreation of martial arts.

In front of her, with a serious expression, Anna focused intently, not wanting to miss a single word, as she was being instructed in the reenactment of combat techniques.

The first thing the teacher taught me, I will now teach Anna.

“For example, ‘Strong Slash.’ Normally, you would consciously use a technique before executing it, but we’re going to do it the other way around. In other words, like this.”

By recreating the movement of “Strong Slash,” activate “Strong Slash.”

The faintly glowing straight sword was sharply swung down, and the air it cut turned into a strong wind, blowing radially.

Seeing the “Strong Slash” I unleashed, Anna’s eyes sparkled.

“W-Wow, Eve-san! When it comes to you, the power of ‘Strong Slash’ is on a whole different level!”
“No, what I want you to see is not the power but the flow of the activation… Anna’s sword proficiency is D, which is quite high. I think it will naturally improve as she continues her adventurer activities from now on. So, by refining the combat techniques she has learned so far, she will develop stable skills.”

While I was explaining the future development plan, Anna listened with sparkling eyes for a while, but gradually her expression turned troubled, and she eventually started scratching her cheek.

“Um… what’s the difference between the ‘Strong Slash’ that Eve did and the ‘Strong Slash’ that I usually perform?”

“Ah… y-yeah, that’s right. That difference came first. Um…”

I feel embarrassed about my mistake, but I try to explain the reenactment of the martial arts to Anna.

“The ‘technique’ we recreated is stronger than the one we usually use.”

“Um… really… is that so?”

“Yeah… um… well… yeah, the replicated ‘combat skill’ is Anna’s ‘combat skill.’ So, it’s superior to the usual ‘combat skills’ we use.”

“Well, if Eve-san says so…”

What should we do? Anna is having trouble because my explanation is poor.

I conveyed the information while recalling what the teacher had taught us along the way, but it still didn’t seem to sit well with them.

“Well, let me explain a bit more. Um… the ‘combat skills’ you usually use… yes, they become the same movements no matter who uses them, right? In other words, those ‘combat skills’ are just you recreating someone else’s movements.”

“Ha, ha…”

“So, I’ll make it so you can activate it with your movements. By performing the ‘Strong Slash’ motion, it will become your own unique ‘Strong Slash’.”

“Uh, uh? …Um, so in other words, if you can perform martial arts on your own, there are good things that come from it… right?”

“Y-yeah. That’s it.”

Moreover, I ended up being followed by Anna.

Although Anna somehow understood, she didn’t quite grasp it, giving the impression that she understood a bit but not perfectly.

“So, so? This is what you use for that.”

“This… was it a memory crystal? It was a magical tool that could preserve landscapes, right?”

“Yes, you know well. I’ll use this to record Anna’s movements. Then, I’ll think about what I should do.”

“Uh…?”

“Um… well… I’ll think about the angle to strike from and how much force to use, and come up with a ‘Strong Slash’ that suits Anna. Of course, I’ll consider other techniques too.”

In the end, because I was bad at explaining, I ended up borrowing almost all of the explanation the teacher had given before.

“Huh!? Y-Yves-san, are you really willing to go that far for me!? I’m so grateful, thank you so much!”

“Don’t worry about it. … Also, although not right now, we’ll have you go monster hunting soon. This whole area is the teacher’s land, and we are the ones doing the monster hunting here. I think half of it will be used for monster hunting by the teacher and Louis, so I’ll let them know to let you use the other half.”

“Y-Yes, I understand. …I’m so nervous.”

“That said, Milky and Yuuri will take turns, and I’ll be by your side, so it’s all good.”

Having finished explaining, I set up the memory crystal.

“Then, why don’t you try recreating ‘Strong Slash’ with the remaining time?”

“Yes, understood!”

Hearing Anna’s cheerful voice, I activate the memory crystal.

After watching her “Strong Slash,” I was thinking of making slight adjustments just like the teacher did.

“Uh, huh? Hey! …Huh?”

However, Anna swings her sword, but she can’t replicate the “Strong Slash.”

I swung my sword desperately over and over again, but “Strong Slash” didn’t activate at all.

Not only did a sharp strike not come out, but the sword didn’t even faintly glow.

Seeing that, my movements become stiff.

“Uh… um… well…”

What should I do? Since I could activate “Strong Slash” from the beginning, I don’t know what to say to Anna now.

While I was sweating profusely inside, Anna looked at me with pleading eyes.

“E-Eve-san… I can’t do it. Is there any trick or something?”

“Um… well… uh, you see…”

This is bad. I really don’t know what to do.

What was I thinking when I activated it? But I could have done it if I wanted to.

Uh, um, well… uh.

“Well, recreating it is quite difficult, you know. It won’t go well at first. Let’s keep trying over and over until we can activate it!”

“Yes! …Um, Eve-san? Why are you using honorifics?”

“Huh!?”

Oh no, oh no. I got so flustered that my tone ended up sounding strange.

Clearing my throat, I say, “Well then, do your best.”

Anna tilted her head slightly, but soon responded cheerfully and returned to recreating “Strong Slash.”

Listening to the sound of the sword cutting through the wind, I let out a sigh without anyone knowing.

(……I totally messed up. Sensei……you’re really amazing)

Unlike my earlier explanation, the teacher’s explanation was concise and easy to understand, and it came in smoothly.

There were hardly any questions, and even if there were, they were resolved quickly.

On the other hand, I was completely useless.

I am once again reminded of the greatness of the teacher.

Having the skills to become a top-tier adventurer means nothing at all.

Because, you see, you’re much more amazing than I am.

“Lady Eve! Please teach me about magic soon! It’s so unfair that Anna gets to learn it all!”

“Ms. Eve, please include me as well.”

“Yeah, I’m coming now.”

Called by Milky and Yuuri, I am heading over there.

I was planning to teach Anna the recreation of combat techniques, and the two of them the improvement of basic magic.

Both were things that the teacher taught me.

However, even after this, I will struggle to explain things well to the two of them.

Desperately conveying and explaining the improvements to the magic formula, checking on the progress of Anna’s combat technique reproduction, and getting busy with all of that, before I knew it, time had flown by and the sun had set.

By that time, I was mentally exhausted and even began to think that handling three students was too much for me.

On the other hand, even though it was just me, I was once again reminded of how great the teacher was, who guided me without any difficulty.
