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 90

Sana quickly mastered even dual wielding.

Her talent with swords was beyond normal—she soaked up everything like a sponge.

For me, every day was busy keeping up.

But unfortunately, there was one thing Sana didn’t share with Eve.

That was magical talent.

“Sana, magic—no go.”

“Huh? R-Really?”

“No magic power, impossible.”

“Gah!”

From the kind of exchange she had with Mu, it seemed Sana had almost no magical power—the source of magic.

I wonder if Sana even noticed she reacted the same way as before during that conversation.

Anyway, the “Ohisashi” (the mysterious powerful force) gave Sana great physical strength but no magic power.

I thought maybe they should have given her magic power too, but if that would weaken her strength, maybe it was better this way.

Either way, Sana’s training was going well.

If things kept going this way, she could not only reach C-rank but possibly go even higher.

Her status plate didn’t show any worrying signs, and it seemed she might one day rival Eve.

That’s why I didn’t expect what came next.

At the end of the day, we were relaxing in the living room.

Sana came in after finishing the dishes and spoke.

“…I think I’m going to leave here soon.”

“Huh?”

Her sudden words confused me.

“W-Why all of a sudden?”

“I’m truly grateful to Master and Teacher Eve. You’ve taken care of me so much, and I can never repay you enough.”

“O-Oh?”

I wondered why she’d want to leave after that, but I waited for her to continue.

“But I want to repay some of that debt, even just a little.”

“Uh… what?”

“I’m going to become an adventurer. I want to make a name for myself with this power, become famous, and repay you and the teachers… just like Eve-san.”

“Oh… oh…”

I was touched. Her words hit me deep.

That meant this was real.

I hadn’t expected Sana to say that but hearing it from her made it feel real.

“As Teacher Mu said, she’s going to be a goldmine!”

“Hey, you little brat, what have you been telling her?”

I hadn’t said anything like that nor even thought about it, but that brat apparently mentioned it beforehand.

“? I heard Master likes money. You seemed happy during the Kujakumiya family stuff, so I thought money would be a good way to repay you…”

“Yeah, I do like money. That’s true.”

“Well, that’s good!”

Sana clasped her hands together, looking happy, and Eve nodded with satisfaction.

And Mu was desperately trying not to laugh.

Is this really okay? Well, whatever. I stopped thinking too deeply about it.

“Besides… I don’t want to keep relying on everyone forever… I want to show all of you that I can walk on my own strength.”

“Sana…”

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like I understood how a parent feels when their daughter becomes independent and sets out on her own.

I’ve cared for her all this time, and we’ve spent some pretty meaningful moments together.

It’s not graduation yet, but there’s a mix of sadness and happiness.

I’d felt this faintly with Eve and Mu too.

Well, those two are here now, so they’ve probably forgotten those feelings by now.

“So, Master… I’d like you to teach me about being an adventurer…”

Sana asked shyly, but her eyes were full of hope. I looked into them and nodded.

“Alright, leave it to me. I’ll teach you properly how to live your life.”

“I’ve already learned the basics of being an adventurer, so if you learn from Master, there’s no way you can go wrong.”

“…I’m worried it might turn out like Endy, though.”

Eve nodded with satisfaction, and Mu raised the corners of her mouth despite making a rude comment.

They both seemed happy to hear about Sana’s desire to become independent.

“Okay, let’s start tomorrow then. Morning will be classroom lessons, afternoon will be sword training.”

It’d been a while since we’d done classroom lessons, which cover world knowledge, history, and common sense.

When I told Sana that, she clenched her fists in front of her.

“Yes! Please take care of me!”

So far, I’d taught Sana things that anyone could teach her.

Recently, I’ve been able to teach her swordsmanship—something I really want to teach.

And now, I’ll be teaching her what it means to be an adventurer.

I was already looking forward to tomorrow.

A few days into teaching her the basics of adventuring, I was explaining solo adventuring.

“Adventuring basically breaks down into two paths: either you form a party with others, or you go solo.”

“Yes! Master and Eve are solo adventurers, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Since we’re around, you might think going solo is better, but both have pros and cons. Basically, being in a party is better.”

“Because having more people helps in emergencies…”

I remembered when I first taught Eve while explaining this.

Somehow, I felt my words came more smoothly than before.

“However, sometimes going solo is better. For example, if you don’t fit well in a group, if you can perform better alone, or if you have secrets you don’t want others to know.”

“I see…”

Sana took notes but didn’t ask anything about what I just explained.

Maybe she somehow understood that questions weren’t really welcome right now.

“So… to get to the point—I actually think solo might be better for you too…”

“Me too?”

“There are a few reasons, but first is your growth speed. We don’t know how far you’ll develop from here, but at your current pace, no one can keep up. The bigger the skill gap in a party, the more tension it causes.”

Even in ‘Star Fangs,’ the group where everyone gets along well, Louis was worried at first.

If the party was only held together by money, it wouldn’t be surprising if it broke apart someday.

“Next is watching Eve. I bet you have some desire to go solo, don’t you?”

“Yes… I want to become a famous adventurer like Eve-sensei and repay my masters… so I do admire going solo.”

I nodded at her answer.

If this wasn’t Sana, I’d warn her to stick with a party because it could be dangerous. But she’s strong enough—no problem there.

In fact, with her beauty and figure, teaming up might even be riskier for her.

That said…

“…Being solo means you’re both the front line and the last defense. So basically, you can’t really trust others.”

The one thing Eve, who’s very skilled, didn’t have was suspicion toward others.

Sana is serious and passionate about everything. That might make her vulnerable to other people’s ill intentions. That’s what I thought.

“Huh? I don’t trust others?”

“Huh?… You’re actually pretty obedient, so that worries me.”

“Do you mean except for the masters? Why would I trust others?”

We stared at each other, tilting our heads for a few seconds. Then Sana suddenly chuckled.

“You’re mistaken, Master. For me, my masters and others are different. I would never trust anyone besides my masters. Treating my master’s and everyone else as the same… haha.”

Though she was laughing softly, her eyes were dark and deep, like an abyss.

“Ah, ah… I see. That’s good then.”

“Yes, but I do want knowledge. Please teach me everything properly, Master.”

“O-of course. I’ll teach you everything without holding back.”

“Yes! I’ll do my best!”

Watching Sana make her usual fist and get fired up, I thought:

Maybe I misread her just now.

No, that can’t be. I clearly remember those deep, dark eyes.

(When it comes to trusting others… she might actually be too suspicious…)

I let out a dry smile inside my heart.
