Tamika thought: What is this guy talking about?
(I got it from the person himself, so there’s no way it could be fake. I see—he got tricked by an antique dealer. From what I can see, he gives quite a timid impression. Maybe he got pressured into buying it.)
“Hey, Will. Yours is the fake.”
“Uh, um…”
They each continued arguing. That the other’s sword was fake. But gradually, they both remembered something.… Read more

Chapter 6: The Hero Appears in the Beginner Adventurer Exam
After parting with Will, Hero Dan was training with Tamika.
Hero Dan handed Tamika a single sword—an iron sword with a red grip and a chipped blade.
“Heh, so this is the sword of beginnings?”
“That’s right. Try using it.”
“I see… It certainly has weight to it, and it looks quite well-used too.”
“…Yeah.”
Tamika drew it from its sheath and tested its feel.… Read more

“Um, it’s like a duel between young people from the village… it’s my fault though.”
“I see, it just started. The fact that they didn’t tell me when it began means they were nervous and forgot—that’s just like them.”
“…Ah! The suspicious traveler from before!”
“Hello there, I’m Ban, the suspicious traveler.”
(This person is definitely suspicious… and he wasn’t here just a moment ago, right? When exactly did he…)
“Hmm, a duel…”
The suspicious traveler watched the duel with interest.… Read more

For now, we headed to Lotus. Since there was only one changing room, I was nervous. We didn’t exchange a single word with each other.
Then we were shown to a room and took our seats. Rin and I sat side by side with Lotus sitting in front of us.
“To think that you who saved the world would come to a humble inn like this.”
“This is quite a nice inn.”
“Rin-dono, thank you for your kind words.… Read more

Chapter 5: Rin-Rin and the Hero
After parting with Candice, I decided to go meet someone who knew about giants.
That person was a knowledgeable grandmother who ran an inn at the top of one of the world’s highest mountains.
Wearing my iron mask, I went there.
“Oh my, what an unusual guest we have here.”
“Ah, it’s me.”
“Well well, I never imagined someone of your stature would visit personally.”… Read more

Trelvarner Kingdom’s library. Vast quantities of books on all kinds of history and literature are stored here.
Which shall I choose? There it is, a book about giants.
“Giant Trampling Chronicles.”
It’s a relatively new book. There are pictures drawn inside. A picture of a group of giants fighting a man wearing an iron mask.
“The Giant King was greedy. He moved to dominate the world. Hero Dan destroyed it all in one night… The Giant King prostrated himself.… Read more

Chapter 4: A Clear-Minded Disciple
This happened recently. We, the Hero Party, gave a speech. At that time, one girl raised her hand.
She said she wanted to surpass me. What a wonderful thing. There haven’t been many beings who have directly told me they want to surpass me until now.
[“Please make me your disciple! I want to defeat you. Please make me stronger than anyone else in the world!”]
Well, she didn’t say she wanted to become a hero, but if she really becomes strong, I could persuade her or arbitrarily elevate her to become a hero.… Read more

I am weak. I think so. I’m weak. I’m receiving training from Hero Dan, but nothing has changed.
There’s a childhood friend named Dia. I have never once beaten Dia. Maybe a life of tilling fields as he says suits me.
“Goblins have appeared!!”
It’s noisy around me. When I go outside the village, there was a horde of goblins. Dia and the others were fighting at the front.
It’s already too late, at this point it’s too late.… Read more

Chapter 3: My Disciple Might Have Awakened?
Will is 15 years old. Honestly, Will is incredibly weak compared to a typical 15-year-old.
A typical 15-year-old who trains seriously becomes reasonably strong. That’s because in this world, you can attend sword academies. There, you can learn proper swordsmanship for ten years.
At sword academies, you can learn sword school techniques. They’re incredibly good places. There are countless schools of swordsmanship.
The Trelvarner Kingdom has three main representative schools, but entrance requires exams and certain physical health conditions.… Read more

It seems Rin saw me when I defeated the bandit with “Spear of Ancient Wind.”
Honestly, since I learned magic from Rin, she might have felt something was off when I used “Spear of Ancient Wind.”
Rin said what bothered her was how fast I activated the magic, but that’s not actually it. Rin understands magic usage better than I do.
It’s just that my reflexes and physical strength made me faster, that’s all.… Read more
