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 61

And the day of the mock battle with Eve had arrived.

In the square next to the classroom, Eve and four people, including Louis, are facing each other.

Eve is acting as usual.

On the other hand, Louis and the others seemed to be nervous, with some members even trembling slightly.

Watching them from a short distance, I begin to explain the upcoming match.

“Alright, let’s get started. The four of you have no restrictions. On the other hand, Eve is prohibited from using magic. If Eve lands a hit, the four of you lose. If all of you become incapacitated, Eve wins. That’s all, any questions?”

Just to be sure, I asked, but after confirming that no one spoke up, I nodded.

“Alright, let’s get started. …Ready your stance.”

Each of them begins to ready their weapons.

Among them, Louis’s drawn bow and Eve’s spear were particularly striking.

Since there is no particular reason to delay, I immediately raise one hand and bring it down.

“Start!”
At the same time as the start declaration, Eve advances. Straight towards the rear guard of the Star Fangs—Milky.

If the enemy has support or healing roles, the first rule is to take them out immediately.

At the same time, Anna also kicked off the ground and moved forward.

Charging straight towards Eve, raising his sword as if to say that taking the initiative is the quickest path to victory, he unleashed the combat skill “Strong Slash.”

With a faintly glowing blade, I aim to fulfill the victory condition of a single strike.

However, that strike was deflected by the spear’s blade, wielded with unparalleled precision.

A perfectly efficient and flawless movement.

With movements that made it hard to believe she had only started practicing with a spear yesterday, she took Anna’s breath away.

Eve raised her spear to launch a counterattack against the vulnerable Anna.

“Sweet－－”

I tried to do it, but gave up halfway and jumped back.

The fire magic “Fire Lance” from Yuuri pierces the spot where I was standing just a moment ago.

Even though they were thwarted in their pursuit, Eve showed no signs of panic.

As evidence, Eve continues to watch Anna’s movements intently.

Using the body enhancement from the support magic received from Milky, I won’t take my eyes off Anna as she circles around the burning ground and raises her sword.

A scene where it seems like Anna’s strike won’t get through either.

That is rewritten by a swift wind.

Eve swings her spear and knocks away the incoming arrow.

Eve, who had handled it without any difficulty, widened her eyes slightly the next moment.

“That’s right. That’s right, isn’t it? Louis’s arrows really do fly to the most unpleasant places.”

As I muttered, Eve received Anna’s slash, which she had easily countered earlier, in a different manner this time.

With a face twisted in annoyance, I can’t bring myself to play.

I was only taken aback by the first strike; I handled Anna’s successive blows without any issues.

Additionally, I accurately dodged the earth magic “Rock Needle,” which thrusts spears of rock from the ground.

Regarding Anna, Milky, and Yuuri, since Eve herself is teaching them, handling them is easy.

Then, the most troublesome thing for Eve right now is…

With slightly widened eyes, I spin the spear to shoot down the incoming arrows.

Even though Eve was handling Anna’s attacks, bolstered by Milky’s support magic, with ease, she felt a sense of difficulty just with Louis entering the fray.

Moreover, even I, who am watching from a distance, can tell.

“Sigh”

A breath is just a moment. A small sigh, as if in exasperation. It’s unclear what it’s directed towards.

“Anna! Something’s coming!”

Milky’s sharp voice cut through the air.

(Late)

I thought so, and Eve’s eyes were saying the same thing.

What she unleashed was the F-rank combat technique “Instant Spear.”

It is a simple technique where one thrusts a spear sharply to pierce the opponent, akin to the spear version of the sword technique “Strong Slash.”

However, even such a fundamental combat technique becomes a deadly weapon when used by Eve.

If we don’t let Anna, who was alerted by Milky’s voice, escape, the spear will close in.

Anna’s sword defense is being read. So, to slip through it, I’m aiming for her torso.

With this, I’m alone.

A sharp arrow collided with Eve’s spear, which she must have thought about.

Due to the impact, the trajectory was slightly off, and Eve’s spear collided with a thunderous sound against Anna’s sword.

I throw Anna’s body backward.

“Troublesome…”

Muttering a grudge about being interrupted from finishing it off with that last strike, Eve stepped forward.

The pursuit of Anna, who endured the impact by scraping the ground with her feet.

Skillfully moving the spear, he activates the F-rank combat skill “Arc Spear.”

With a powerful swing, he tries to slash Anna.

However, Anna and the others are not just going to take it lying down.

From Yuuri, who received further support magic from Milky, Eve is hindered by magic.

However, it seemed that Eve had anticipated this as well, skillfully moving her body to avoid the magic.
The situation is overwhelmingly advantageous for Eve. Eve’s spear, having avoided the magic, closes in on Anna. However.

Amidst that, another nasty arrow flew.

With a grimace, Eve deflects the arrow with her spear.

No, I had to be rejected.

To fulfill the defeat condition this time, which is to take a hit.

In that moment, Milky and Yuuri chose to protect Anna.

On the other hand, Louis thought it was an opportunity to seize victory.

It’s not that I underestimated Anna; I received information that the other two would handle it, and as a result, I trusted them.

(With such a truly lewd arrow… I’m actually kind of proud.)

Even though I grimaced and said, “That’s not good,” I felt proud of Louis for being able to pull off such a feat.

Even Eve, who is usually so composed, would feel sympathy for this. It’s only a matter of time before she takes a hit.

“Well, as an educator, sometimes it’s good to let the students shine a bit…”

“It’s a hassle.”

My words didn’t stop because I heard Eve’s murmured words.

I was surprised by Eve’s sudden action after she stopped pursuing Anna.

Staring intently at the spear he was holding, he threw it upwards.

And then I grabbed the end of the part of the spear that you hold.

In my experience… no, it’s a way of holding a spear that no spear user would ever do.

And.

“Alright, this is fine.”

He perceived the spear merely as a “sword” with a small blade at the end of a long stick.

The tip of the spear glows faintly and is brought down to the ground.

Sword technique “Strong Slash.” With it, shake the earth.

The impact, the wind, assaults our bodies.
In the face of the sudden scene, I didn’t know what to do.

At least the sympathy I had for Eve until just now has vanished, and all I can do is look at her in disbelief.

Why is it that geniuses never seem to fit within the bounds of common sense?

(Who even thinks about using a spear as a sword?)

Cursing inwardly, I think.

Isn’t this, in a way, a violation of the rules we just established?

In the first place, Eve was too strong, so we switched to a spear instead of a sword, but if she uses sword techniques with a spear, it defeats the purpose.

When I thought, “Should I really stop?”

I saw Louis directing a straight gaze at Eve.

Anna, Milky, and Yuuri were all keeping their eyes on Eve.

Among them, Eve was still an opponent to be fought.

Because I realized that.

Maintaining silence, I watched the course of the battle unfold.

I thought it was unnecessary to intervene.

“……It’s quite difficult, isn’t it? It seems like I won’t be able to handle anything complicated.”

Eve, staring intently at the spear in her hand, is contemplating sword techniques that might be useful.

In the meantime, Anna made eye contact with Louis.

Thinking that they shouldn’t be given any more time, she immediately steps forward.

Milky cast all her support magic on Anna, while Yuuri and Louis targeted Eve with magic and arrows.

Noticing Anna charging at her, Eve also readied her spear like a sword, stepped out wide to the side, and swung the spear with all her might.

Sword technique “Flash Blade.” A powerful slash that usually inflicts a serious wound on the opponent.

However, perhaps not yet accustomed to the length of the spear, it seems she misjudged the distance, and the swung spear narrowly misses Anna.

Even Eve, as impressive as she is, can only rely on her predictions to execute her combat techniques if she has never done it before.

And if it’s something you’ve never experienced and are just predicting, it’s only natural for it to go awry.

“Ah”

As Eve’s foolish voice echoed, Anna’s relentless pursuit took advantage of the opening.

It seems there are some inconveniences on the defensive side as well, and Eve ends up retreating slightly to the side without being able to block effectively.

(……Instead of overwhelming attack power, has the defense become a bit neglected?)

Although I was surprised by the bold idea of turning a spear into a sword, even Eve couldn’t pull it off with just a makeshift approach.

Well, even so, if I get used to it after a day of experience, it might not be considered a careless decision.

“?”

In the corner of my vision, I saw Louis quietly nocking an arrow.

Positionally, right now, Eve, Anna, and Louis, who can be seen behind Anna, are in that order.

Until now, I had been attacking Eve accurately from a diagonal direction, but she shouldn’t be able to see me from that position.

What on earth? Just as I thought that, Louis took his stance and quietly released his fingers.

“……Hey, hey”

The arrow flies straight towards Anna’s back.

What on earth am I doing, I thought.

Anna turned her body.

It was as if I could tell exactly where the arrow was coming from and dodged it.

The arrow that passed by her side flew straight towards Eve.

Avoiding an arrow that suddenly appears is usually a difficult task.

“！？”

Despite that, Eve reacted.

I move my body with all my might, trying to shift to the right.

The arrow that was aiming for Eve’s center was deflected from its target.

I grazed Eve’s arm.

Eve and Anna stop moving.

And indeed, there was a small scratch on Eve’s silver gauntlet.

“That’s enough! The winner is the Star Fangs!”

Immediately declare victory.

I almost jumped up in surprise, but I held it back and did my job properly, so I want you to praise me for that.

“…Did I… win?”

“Did it go in? It went in, right? It went in, didn’t it!?”

“I did it… I did it, Louis!”

Milky, Yuuri, and Anna express their joy with their whole bodies, even though they can’t believe it.

“Yeah, I’m glad Anna reacted.”

“Because Louis had that look on his face like he wanted to do something… you know?”

Louis is also smiling.

On the other side, Eve had a somewhat complicated expression on her face.

“I’m so frustrated… If I had thought of this method yesterday, I could have defeated everyone.”

What kind of way is that to express regret, I couldn’t help but smile.

Either way, the ones who won are Louis and the others from “Star’s Fang.”

The four of them gathered together, expressing their joy with their whole bodies.

And Louis, who was among them, looked at me and broke into a broad smile.

It was a refreshing smile, nothing like the hesitant smiles from the early days.
