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 5

What I had Itte-san make for me wasn’t just the classroom.

Regarding making things, he can make anything.

Speaking of things I can’t make, it seems to be weapons like swords and spears, and magical weapons like staves.

However, it seems that these can only be made by my younger brothers, Nino Tetsu and Sate Tsu.

So, I had brought Eve to the back of the classroom.

The land has been maintained by Mr. Ittetsu, and a target for magic practice has also been installed.

It’s like a small square, and it’s the perfect place to get some exercise.

“By the way, did you handle the sword just because?”

When asked, Eve nodded.

“Yes, I thought it was the best fit based on my intuition.”

I see.

Then, for now, I think a sword will do.

Give Eve instructions and have her step back a bit.

Facing each other at a distance in the middle of the square, they confront each other.

“Alright, come at me with everything you’ve got.”

“But, however”

When told to suddenly attack, Eve showed a look of confusion.

That said, Eve is a rank six adventurer, while I am practically a rank two. There is a three-rank difference between us.

The difference between these three is quite significant.

“It’s okay, just go ahead and do it.”

Eve, having made up her mind, drew her straight sword from its sheath and took a stance.

I also saw that, unsheathed my sword from my waist, and secured the scabbard so it wouldn’t come out.

“I’m… going!”

Eve, though hesitant, steps forward.

The white hair is lifted by the wind, closing in.

And just as I stepped into range, I saw a downward slash from above.

“Hmm.”

I strike it with the sword still sheathed, using sheer force.

However, perhaps it was within expectations, Eve immediately launched a counterattack.

I thought I played it fairly strongly, but Eve responded.

One by one, I accurately observe and deflect each strike of Eve’s sword as it comes at me.

By the time Eve started to understand how much strength to use in her returns, sweat was already forming on her forehead.

“Ugh…”

Not just returning the strike, but continuing to do so with a delicate force that slightly throws Eve off balance without deflecting the sword.

Every time it was hit over and over again, it always returned with that power.

Now, it is evident that Eve is swinging her sword with a lack of composure.

“The odds aren’t bad.”

“This is… a… second-class adventurer…”

“My skill level is just below second grade, you know!”

Return the sword that was struck with a bit of force.

I thought I could deflect the sword with this, but…

“Oh?”

The sword did not leave Eve’s hand.

In an instant, my eyes caught him using his body to absorb the impact of my counterattack.

Wow, even when that big guy with just an attitude pushed me at the guild, I managed to absorb the impact… I really know how to use my body well.

When I was so impressed.

“Strong Slash!”

Eve screamed and used her combat skills.

The sword glows faintly, and a powerful strike descends from above.

“Oh, that’s a good hit. Not bad.”

He effortlessly caught the full-force strike with one hand and praised its power.

“Strong Slash” is a basic swordsmanship technique.

Most swordsmen in the world remember this technique, but its strength varies from person to person.

Eve’s “Strong Slash” is about average for a Rank 6 adventurer, I suppose.

You have talent… but what do you mean by not being able to use it?

While I had doubts about what the big man with just an attitude had said, I took a small step back and brought the sheathed sword to my left side.

Instead of gripping the scabbard with my left hand, I placed it gently and mimicked the form of iaido.

“Shh!”

At the same time as stepping in, draw the sword.

Since I couldn’t do it, I drew the sword from its sheath and swung it.

The basic sword technique “Iaijutsu.” That strike lands directly on Eve’s abdomen.

“Ugh!”

If he swings with all his might, Eve will let out a groan and lean forward.

And then, kneeling down, he dropped his sword.

After checking on Eve, I relaxed my stance and brought the sword to my shoulder.

And while tapping the sword on his shoulder, he called out to the crouching student.

“Not bad at all. Better than I expected. The way he swings his sword looks good, and his combat skills have decent power. For a Rank 6 adventurer, he’s doing well. The fact that he hasn’t gotten hurt despite acting solo a lot… well, luck might play a part, but he does have some decent skills.”

“Ha… ha… thank you… very much… phew…”

Exhaling, Eve steadies herself.

He sheathed his sword as it was and bowed his head.

I hit him pretty hard, but has he already recovered?

It should have gone in smoothly, but it seems the body’s durability is quite high.

I might have hit the jackpot with this.

On the other hand, when I wondered why Eve, who can fight to this extent, was evaluated as unusable, I found the gap puzzling.

“Um… may I ask you a question?”

“Huh?”

“Sensei, you used your combat technique for the last time. However, it felt… different from what I know.”

“Yeah, that’s true. Besides, don’t shout the names of your techniques every time. If you’re fighting an intelligent opponent, they’ll see through it just from that, and sometimes you need to ambush monsters. If you shout ‘Strong Slash!’ then, they’ll notice.”

I mean, isn’t it kind of lame to shout out the name of your technique in the first place? That’s just my personal opinion.

If it’s short, it’s still okay, but if it’s long, it ruins everything.

I don’t want to shout “Super! Meteor Slash!” No, there’s no such technique, though.

Even though she was thinking about such a ridiculous thing, Eve shook her head.

“Ex, excuse me, I will be more careful about that from now on. But, what I want to ask about is your actual combat techniques, Sensei. I’ve seen Iaido techniques a few times, but… it’s a bit different, shall we say?”

“Oh, I see. By the way, do you have good eyesight too? That’s impressive.”

“Thank you… very much?”

It seems that Eve herself is not aware, but she has already demonstrated some of the skills desirable in an adventurer, both in her body movements and her keen eyesight.

Thinking that the best is yet to come, I laughed defiantly.

“Alright, I’ll teach you from now on. About combat techniques, that is.”
