Chapter 043
I walk alone to the middle school after saying goodbye to Mai. During that time, I see students whispering to each other while looking at me. Rumors seem to spread quickly in the school. Maybe it was a good thing that I was in a support class instead of a regular class.
I go to the staff room and am taken to the classroom by my homeroom teacher. Koda-sensei, who will be my homeroom teacher until graduation, is a young woman in her mid-twenties.
Originally, she was not able to be a homeroom teacher because she lacked experience, but it seems that she was given the job because she is the only homeroom teacher of the support class.
"You will be studying in this classroom from today until graduation. I really wanted you to study with everyone, but..."
"I was the one who suggested the support class, so don't worry about it. I'm sorry for putting a burden on the teachers."
The teacher started apologizing as soon as we entered the support class classroom, and I apologized back. Koda-sensei still looked apologetic, so I continued to speak to her.
"I was in a support class for six years of elementary school, so this is easier. My career path is set as an explorer, so I don't need to make friends."
"But if you're going to be an explorer, you'll have to form a party with friends..."
Currently, mutual trust is important for parties that work together in dungeons, where legal control does not reach. That's why there are many cases of friends who have known each other since their school days forming parties.
"Fortunately, thanks to the constitution and skills I was born with, I can dive solo quite well. I don't intend to rush to find party members, so I'm actually grateful to be in a support class where I won't be recruited."
"I-Is that so. That's good. But about the plans for the future..."
The teacher regained her composure and told me the schedule for the classes and gave me the timetable. There was nothing particularly unusual about it, so I just glanced at it and put it in my bag.
"We'll be speeding up the lessons to make up for the time we missed. Do you have any questions about the curriculum?"
"No, nothing. Starting tomorrow, I look forward to working with you."
I hadn't prepared for lessons today, so the real lessons would start tomorrow. I could use all my knowledge from my previous life except for history and geography, and I'd already studied those beforehand, so there shouldn't be any problem with speeding up the lessons.
It would be a bit too early to finish like that, so we decided to chat a bit. I guess she also wanted to get to know a little about the students she'll be taking care of.
When I told her I'd been in the dungeon, she was surprised, but she wanted to hear more about it. She'd probably heard beforehand that I was strong, but she'd also heard that I didn't have any skills suited to combat, so she seemed surprised to hear that I was already in the dungeon.
"Huh, you have already reached the ninth floor?"
"Hercules Syndrome increases muscle density, so it strengthens all physical abilities. That's why it's more powerful than skills that strengthen arm strength or leg strength."
Since rumors would soon spread about me anyway, I honestly told her the current floor I had reached. "That would be a super-good catch and a chance to marry a rich man," she muttered softly, but I'll pretend I didn't hear.
Feeling a bit unsafe, I decided to end the chat and head home. Aren't there a lot of carnivorous women in this world? Is it just the ones close to me?
