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 7

At night, in the private room of the living quarters that Ittetsu-san had made for me, I was staring intently at the recording crystal.

The crystal projects an image, showing Eve using the “Strong Slash” combat technique.

“The more I look at him, the more he seems like a worthwhile challenge.”

I couldn’t help but mutter.

This is the first time I’ve had a student in this world, but isn’t Eve the best possible first student one could imagine?

They have motivation, and above all, talent.

Regarding their responses, their inability to doubt others, and their unreadable emotions from their expressions, there are some difficulties, but even considering that, they are worth teaching.

In the end, after that, Eve was able to replicate almost all the combat techniques she knew.

Most of it was a rough and incomplete reproduction, but it was still more than satisfactory.

No, it’s beyond enough; you could even say it’s an unexpected result.

If you continue to grow without hitting the same walls I did, what will happen?

“Without a doubt, you’ll become a better adventurer than me. …No, it’s still too early to decide that.”

Thinking that far, I suddenly remembered something.

In the first place, we need Eve to become stronger.

She must succeed splendidly as an adventurer and make a fortune for me.

“Seeing that overwhelming talent, I might have gotten a bit carried away.”

It seems I had forgotten the purpose of creating the classroom until just now.

“Besides, there are a few parts that I’m worried about too.”

The first thing that comes to mind is the gap between Eve’s abilities and the evaluation from those around her.

Even just fighting for a day today, Eve was able to hold her own as a rank-six adventurer.

Moreover, he has the talent to replicate combat techniques in an instant.

However, it was evaluated as unusable in the guild.

Judging by Satoria’s attitude, it seems that it’s not just a case of being a big man with a big attitude, but that the guild itself is similar.

It’s so far removed that it feels more like an evaluation of a different person.

“Shall we see how the party is doing soon?”

Although that’s the quickest way, Eve is just too much of a hindrance to team up with me in her current state.

For now, I decided to continue the training on martial arts and plan to do it for a while longer.

“Well then, shall we resume?”

To make Eve stronger, there is still so much more we can do.

I psych myself up and return to reviewing Eve’s combat moves.

There were several sheets of paper scattered around, densely filled with Eve’s habits and improvement suggestions, which I had written down while losing track of time and focusing intensely.

After waking up early in the morning, I checked the monster-repelling crystal inside the house, then headed to the classroom and patrolled the surrounding area.

While sensing the surroundings, I check the monster-repelling devices installed on the land I purchased.

Taking the time to carefully and thoroughly check, I felt a sense of relief that there were no abnormalities in any of them.

But this alone is still insufficient.

If the monsters increase, they will eventually come to ravage my land, ignoring even the monster repellent.

That’s why we have to thin them out.

If you run a little after leaving the purchased land, you will soon encounter a monster.

Cut them down with my sword, defeat them. Collect the dropped magic stones, and move on to the next.

Using up the entire morning, I’ll hunt down all the monsters in this area.

Although the numbers will mostly return to normal by tomorrow, it is still important to prevent the land and buildings from being damaged.

Even though the area is vast, the strength of the monsters that appear is not that great.

Therefore, by noon when the sun was fully risen, today’s monster hunting was mostly finished.

Finally, after slaying the wolf-like monster “Ashwolf” and collecting the magic stone, I recall the lesson scheduled for the afternoon with the girl who has pure white hair.

“Eventually, it might not be a bad idea to let Eve experience monster hunting.”

The most significant part of an adventurer’s job is monster hunting.

Rather, defeating the ever-increasing monsters is the role and mission of adventurers.

I think you have experience with party raids, but it would be good to also gain experience with solo raids.

I was playing with the magic stone I just retrieved from “Ashwolf” with my hands, filled with expectations for the future.
In the evening, Eve appeared in the classroom as scheduled.

I meet her in front of the classroom entrance and head to the back. I guide her to a bench and have her sit down there.

“Did you sleep well yesterday?”

“Yes”

“I see. You handled the request solo today, didn’t you?”

“Of course! I am strictly following what the teacher said!”

Confirming that there was no lie in her eyes, I nodded back to Eve.

“Alright, then today we’ll optimize our combat techniques. For now, let’s start with ‘Strong Slash’.”

“Um, teacher…”

“What’s wrong?”

Just as I was about to start today’s lesson, I was interrupted.

Eve, who raised her hand modestly, is giving me a slightly troubled look.

“Yesterday, when I was recreating the combat techniques, I had a strange sensation.”

“A mysterious sensation? What is it like?”

“What should I say… something that feels like a switch… like a light turning on…”

Honestly, I didn’t really understand what you meant.

I understand that Eve is not communicating well, but even if I try to understand, I have no idea what she means.

Switching… light…

“Is it like a switch or something?”

“Switch?”

I suddenly remembered that glowing thing when I switched, and muttered it under my breath, but it seemed to reach Eve’s ears.

“Even so, I’ve never felt that way.”

“Is that so…?”

“Well, it’s not like something inconvenient is happening, right?”

“Yes… I’m in perfect health.”

“Then it’s fine, isn’t it? For now, let’s just leave it be.”

“If the teacher says so”

She still seemed a bit unconvinced, but Eve changed her expression and straightened her back.

Facing the motivated student, I pulled out yesterday’s results from my pocket.

“Yesterday, I thought about some movements that would suit you. If I were to write them down on paper, it would look something like this. …I didn’t have much time, so it’s not neatly written, but please forgive that.”

It was simply impossible to analyze all of Eve’s combat techniques and come up with improvements in just one day.

As a result, the notes, which look like hasty scribbles, end up being in a careless form where the conclusion is circled with a dot.

“…so much…”

However, Eve, upon receiving the paper, stared at it intently and murmured.

The eyes were wide open, and the pupils were slightly trembling.

“Actually, it would be easier to understand if you see the movements in action. As a reference, I’ll demonstrate the techniques in a way that suits you.”

With a straight sword-shaped wooden sword in hand, I stand up from the bench.

And then, after walking a little, he turned sideways and raised the wooden sword.

“Shh!”

Yesterday, I took the time to think about the best angle, the best timing, and the best amount of force for Eve.

Although it wasn’t as powerful as the “Strong Slash” optimized for myself, a strong gust of wind blew for a moment as I swung down the wooden sword.

“Well, that’s about it. Use it as a reference and give it a try.”

“Yes!”

Eve replied in a loud voice.

He stood up from the bench, drew his straight sword from his waist, and pointed the tip towards the sky.

Close your eyes, steady your breath, and then.

“Huh!”

I swung down the softly glowing sword.

The blade cuts through the wind, stopping just before hitting the ground.

“Hmm”

It was so subtle that I couldn’t help but say that.

It has become a combat technique, and it seems to be more powerful than yesterday.

However, it still felt incomplete.

How about it?

If you ask for feedback, you’ll get a satisfied response.

“I think it’s even better than yesterday.”

“I see… but I’m a bit concerned about the angle. Raise your sword.”

“Is this how it is?”

Eve raises her sword as instructed.

I move behind her, lightly touching her right hand and right arm to make slight adjustments to the angle.

“Here, put some strength into your fist here… That’s it. Alright, keep going just like that.”

“Hah!”

Eve swings down her sword with all her might.

The sound of the wind cutting through became louder than before, and the blade showed a sharp trajectory. Success.

“Stronger than before…”

“Don’t forget that feeling. Try it a few more times.”

“Yes!”

If you move a little away from Eve, who responded cheerfully, she repeatedly performs “Strong Slash” over and over again on the spot.

Although there were times when the angle or force was off, it gradually became more stable as I practiced more.

(As expected, they pick things up quickly… There’s still the concern of forgetting, but even if they do, with this speed of mastery, they should be able to manage somewhat…)

I felt it again yesterday, but once more I am convinced of the talent of the student named Eve, and I nod repeatedly.

But while I was watching, I realized something.

From my perspective, Eve’s movements seemed perfectly optimized, but somehow her expression looked a bit gloomy.

I closely observe her expression with my eyes.

It was hard to understand, but it felt like something was just off, somehow.

I’ve seen many students with eyes like that in the past world.

“Iv, listen carefully. What I just taught you is merely a method I thought would suit you. Since I’m not you, it might not be the best method for you. If you come up with a better way to swing the sword, feel free to try it without hesitation.”

A leader can teach a method, but whether that method is suitable depends on the individual.

It’s common for the methods that worked best for you in the past to not be the best for your students.

I remembered that and told Eve, but she looked a bit confused.

“N-no… such a thing…”

“Listen, Eve, this is a lesson for you to get stronger. I’m glad you’re trying to save face for me, but if it helps you get stronger, I don’t care about that. Or do you intend to leave everything up to me?”

“……that…… is”

After slightly lowering the corners of her eyes, Eve stopped her hand from swinging the sword and closed her eyes.

And when he opened his eyes once more, they had returned to the straight, unwavering gaze from earlier.

She raises her sword. Seeing that, I instinctively activated the memory crystal.

“Hah!”

The angle, timing, and intensity were all different from what I expected.

The sword swung downwards slices through the air, creating a stronger wind.

A wind strong enough to rival the “Strong Slash” I encountered with Eve blew.

She found it. A way to fully utilize her own power, on her own.

Surprised by what she has done, Eve stops moving, and I clap my hands in applause.

I completely understand that feeling. It’s like a door suddenly swinging wide open, isn’t it?

“Well done. As I said earlier, don’t forget that feeling. Keep experimenting and always seek the method that suits you. If you do that, the door will open.”

After saying it, I felt a bit embarrassed, thinking it was a bit of a cheesy line.

To cover it up, a small cough.

“First, we need to optimize the current ‘Strong Slash’ even further.”

“Yes! Thank you very much, teacher!”

Hearing Eve’s strong response, I nodded in satisfaction.
