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 6

Eve and I sit on the wooden bench installed behind the classroom.

It seemed she had completely recovered from my earlier iaijutsu strike, as she had a nonchalant expression on her face.

“First of all, do you even know what a combat technique is?”

“…a technique that turns the tide of battle in our favor…”

“Yeah, yeah, well, if I had to put it into words, it’s like a skill… uh, how should I put it? A fixed technique? Something like that. For example, if you consciously use ‘Strong Slash’ in your mind, the ‘Strong Slash’ combat technique will come out. Got it so far?”

“Yes”

If I explain the unique combat techniques of this world, Eve nods, indicating that she knows them to some extent.

I’ve been an adventurer for eight months, and if my aptitude is for being a swordsman, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.

“Well, as I mentioned earlier, saying it out loud at first is a good method. It makes it easier to be aware of it. Of course, once you get used to it, it’s better not to say it. …But that’s not the main issue.”

“Isn’t it over there?”

“You know, like when you use ‘Strong Slash,’ your body moves on its own, right? It happens with other techniques too.”

“Yes, of course. Combat skills are something that anyone can use once they are mastered…”

The content Eve spoke about is also written in the manual explained to newcomers in the guild.

If you master a combat skill, you can use it, and its power is influenced by the proficiency with the corresponding weapon.

Like a skill in a game, it activates on its own, and the body moves and attacks automatically.

However, I have one question.

“Then, whose moves are those combat techniques that anyone can replicate?”

“…Huh?”

Eve’s eyes went wide.

“Because that’s how it is, right? When you use a combat technique, your body moves on its own, performing powerful slashes and iai draws. So, there must be the original person’s movements behind those combat techniques.”

Who are they? A powerful being from long ago? Or a god? Or perhaps someone from a distant place?

“…………”

“Anyone would do, but that’s not us. Even if I used the Iaido combat technique, those movements weren’t mine; they were just tracing someone else’s moves… Ah, just mimicking. Isn’t that the same for you?”

“I see… I never thought about it.”

Eve murmured with a look of realization.

That’s true, even I wouldn’t have noticed it if it weren’t for the purpose of pushing my limits.

There probably aren’t many people who have noticed besides me.

Having finished explaining up to this point, Eve tilted her head.

“I understand about the combat techniques, but… what will happen… as a result?”

“The problem with combat techniques is as I just mentioned. Now, let me tell you another interesting aspect of combat techniques. As I said earlier, if you concentrate and use ‘Strong Slash,’ the ‘Strong Slash’ combat technique will activate.”

But this is fine even the other way around.

“Reverse?”

Hearing Eve’s voice, I stood up from the bench and picked up the straight sword-shaped wooden sword that was nearby.

Lift it at the angle that suits me, with the force, speed, and sharpness that suit me.

“Yeah. Recreate the same movements as ‘Strong Slash’ with your body. That way, it becomes ‘Strong Slash.’ In other words, it’s not about consciously activating the technique, but about recreating the movements to make it a technique. By doing this, it becomes our ‘Strong Slash’ instead of some unknown ‘Strong Slash’ from somewhere.”

Swing down. The wooden sword was swung down, shining with a faint light, and the wind passed through me and Eve.

“This is the ‘Strong Slash’ optimized for me.”

“…………”

Not being able to find the words, this must be what they mean.

Eve just stands still, unable to take her eyes off the scene before her.

“Of course, the higher the level of the combat technique, the more difficult it is to replicate it through movement. However, if you can use the combat technique, you can definitely replicate it through your own movements. It’s just a matter of the direction of the arrows. If you can transmit the technique to your body, you can definitely transmit it from your body to the technique.”

If I explained the workings of this world, Eve stared at me intently.

It’s not the kind of gaze that used to check my mood or demeanor.

It was a “fixed” gaze towards something of interest.

“……amazing”

Her amazed voice reached my ears.

She, who had been standing still, suddenly got off the bench.

And then, he drew the longsword from his waist and stared intently at the blade.

“……Hey?”

I wondered what you were planning to do, so I asked back.

Without answering my question, Eve raised her sword.

The blade faintly glimmered as it unleashed the “Strong Slash.”

“…What?”

I can’t help but let out a voice.

What Eve just used is undoubtedly “Strong Slash.”

However, it was clearly different from what had been shown in the recent battle.

It’s still quite rough. I was also inexperienced.

However, as a strike from Eve, there was hardly any sense of discomfort.

Eve’s “Strong Slash.”

“……Amazing. Just by recreating the movements, the combat skills activate.”

Eve, the person involved, was surprised, but I felt an even greater shock.

(What the… is that…)

I explained the theory of reproducing martial techniques, but being able to do it myself is a different matter altogether.

Even I spent a considerable amount of time before I could recreate it.

Eve was able to recreate it with just one try.

An overwhelming talent that I could never possibly reach.

(Amazing… who is this guy, amazing…)

From the depths of my chest, something hot is overflowing.

(If I continue teaching Eve from now on, how far will she go? She’ll definitely surpass me easily… Eve is undoubtedly a genius.)

When I saw how they used their bodies in the guild, I felt like punching my past self who only thought they were superior.

The best one in the guild was Eve? Don’t be ridiculous.

There’s no way there’s anyone more talented than him in that guild.

“Ha… haha…”

I can’t help but laugh.

In my heart, there was only joy.

“Not bad. Reproducing combat techniques is difficult, but you mastered it with just one try. However… it’s still a bit rough around the edges.”

“…Ah, thank you very much! Y-Yes, indeed… I’m still not used to it…”

Suppressing the surging joy, I strive to calmly convey Eve’s combat skills.

“You’ll need to use it several times. You are now at the starting point. From here, through repeated practice, you’ll refine it into a combat technique that suits you better. Not just ‘Strong Slash,’ but other combat techniques as well. As you know, there are many of them. It will take time and effort, and it won’t be easy.”

“However, I understand. This… if I do it, I’ll definitely become stronger… I’ll do it.”

I saw the fire of determination light up Eve’s light green eyes, which had been timid and lacking confidence until now.

Feeling her enthusiasm keenly, I took a ball from my pocket and showed it to Eve.

“I’m not going to let you do this alone. This is called a recording crystal. It can record for a short period of time. Ah… well, in short, it means we can record a reproduction of your combat skills with this.”

“……?”

Not quite understanding what is being said, Eve just stares intently at the recording crystal.

“I will use this to observe your movements. Based on that, I will think about and study the best angles and the right amount of force to strike. I intend to share the results with you as well.”

“……Sensei, you did something like that?”

“Am I a bother?”

“N-No, I’m very grateful. Thank you very much!”

“Alright, then just do your best. Try to recreate the combat techniques you remember. I’ll activate the recording crystal… It might take a bit of time, so let’s call it a day after that.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Eve nodded and tightened her grip on the sword.

The gazes directed at me were stronger than when I was brought to this classroom.
