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 71

The door to the audience chamber opens, and in a timid manner, enters Morbol Lotcut.

A minor noble, and there have been no recent records of being summoned to the castle.

He came close to me and knelt down.

“Y-Your Majesty… this time…”

“Formal greetings are fine. Raise your head. … This time, there’s something I want to confirm.”

“Ha… Wh-what could this be?”

“You visited a classroom on the outskirts of the city of Ester in the Ilias territory just the other day. Am I correct?”

“Huh? … Huh, huh…”

In response to the ambiguous answer, something wells up from the depths of my chest.

This person, foolishly, probably doesn’t understand the gravity of what they have done.

“I heard that you used abusive language and handled the equipment roughly in that classroom.”

“Th-that is… um… I asked a member of my clan for guidance, but they refused…”

“Just with that, you went that far?”

When I told him with a glare, the Morbol let out a “eep” and put on a faint smile as if trying to cover it up.

“Um, well… the way you declined, you see… we did our utmost to accommodate you…”

“Oh? I hear that the three people you took with you had no intention of learning, and one of them was infatuated with the female teacher in the classroom?”

“Th-that kind of thing…”

Judging by their attitude, they are definitely guilty, but it’s still too early to make a final decision.

It’s hard to believe that Endy and Eve would lie, but it’s important to view things from a neutral perspective.

“Hmm… then I’ll send someone now to confirm with your family. What did you think of the classroom? Of course, during that time, you’ll stay here, won’t you?”

“Th-that is… um…”

“Be decisive! Morbol Lot Cut!!”

“Eek!!??”

“……Minister, over here. You all step back a bit.”

Call the minister nearby and temporarily withdraw the soldiers.

And so, arrangements were made so that only the wife, son, and minister could hear.

“……You all, listen carefully. The town of Estelle in the Ilias territory. I mentioned Lord Endy’s classroom on the outskirts before, didn’t I?”

Since I had talked to my family and the minister before, everyone nodded.

“Upon investigation, it has been revealed that there are two people of the hero class in that classroom.”

“Wh…?”

“F-Four people too…?”

The minister, his wife, and son with expressions of surprise.

I was surprised too. Not only was Eve-kun in the classroom, but there was also another Mu-kun.

As soon as I returned to the castle, I casually asked Queen Levi and the hero, Professor Riot, about it in a letter while making small talk.

At first, it would have been good to know what kind of person they were.

However, all the information that comes out is comparable to Eve-kun.

The magic she uses is something only she can wield, and it was given to her by the professor of the magic tower to trap Mu-kun alone.

If I had been recommended as a hero, I would have definitely become one. An even stronger hero than Professor Riot and Professor Chromecast. But I declined the recommendation and left the country.

Both of them thought it was a pity about Mu-kun, and it was such an atmosphere that it was hard to say they were in Endy-san’s classroom.

“Do you understand what this means? In other words, that classroom… possesses an overwhelming amount of power.”

Cielaira, Marc Magica, Seiran, and Aseras.

Each of the four countries has its own “hero,” but their numbers are few.

Even including the “semi-heroes” who have fallen from being “heroes,” the number is only enough to count on both hands in each country.

“If one of the noble families had contacted that classroom first and provided support…”

My clever son was the first to notice the worst possible outcome.

The minister shuddered as if imagining something terrifying.

“In the blink of an eye, we might gain independence and create the Fifth Nation…”

“Ah… in that sense, I feel bad for Endy, but it was fortunate that Lord Lotcut made contact before me.”

If this were the lords of Roselia or Yutonia, it might have really led to independence.

“In fact, I met them in person, and those two hold Lord Endy in high regard. Moreover, Lord Endy is someone who values freedom.”

Of course, I have also looked into Endy.

I climbed up to rank two as an adventurer, and then moved to the current town of Estelle to open a classroom.

According to the receptionist in the town of Estelle, he loved a free and ordinary life and was said to be seeking something called a “slow life.”

From the receptionist, there was also information that Endy-san often drank alcohol within the guild, but that’s just how Endy-san is.

Surely, drinking was just a pretense, and he was probably looking for exceptional talent among the adventurers visiting the guild.

In fact, many of his students, such as Eve-kun and “Star’s Fang,” are adventurers.

“I see… So, Your Majesty chose to have a supporter instead of a protector.”

“Father, your keen observation skills are impressive as always…”

“Ah…”

The praise from my wife and son is delightful, but to be honest, at that time, I was feeling the pressure from Eve-kun and Mu-kun.

In fact, Eve-kun is like a completely different person from when we met before.

I used to think that his expression never changed at all, but in front of Endy, he seemed age-appropriate.

“I have succeeded in building a friendly relationship with Endy. I plan to introduce you to him soon.”

“Yes, I will make sure not to be rude. Father.”

I nod at my son’s words and let out a small sigh.

Realizing that the conversation was over, the minister also walked away.

Resting my arms on the armrests of the throne, I ponder.

(…The world might be about to change)

Monsters continue to increase, and disasters descend from the heavens.

Countries have been troubled by them for generations.

Even after finding an excellent person called a “hero,” we still lacked the strength.

Searching and searching, but still can’t find it.

However, Endy-san has thrown a new stone into the pond.

If it’s lacking, just make it. I put into action what seemed like a ridiculous idea and made it a reality.

(To be honest, I want his teaching methods and leadership skills… but Endy-san probably won’t leave that classroom… In that case, should I hire someone who has graduated from the classroom at the castle…)

However, it still feels insufficient.

If you are to inherit his leadership, you would indeed need to have been present in that classroom as a “teacher.”

The two I met in that classroom… While they may not be as skilled as Eve-kun and Moo-kun, I would like to have someone who has gained teaching experience and can carry on even a part of Endy-san’s teachings and apply them in the castle.

In any case, that classroom will surely grow larger from now on.

Since it’s a story that comes after that, all we can do now is support and watch over it.

“…I can’t take my eyes off it.”

In a dark, murky, hellish world, the classroom that produced heroes—no, it might be better to call it a hero creation classroom—looked radiant.
