Today is the day the training camp begins . Just as I’ve been told, I went to the guild an hour before the assembly . When I got to the designated place, some young and hasty adventurers were already present . They were probably the attending students . I passed them and went up to the second floor .
“Excuse me . ” [Ryouma]
The moment I entered the designated meeting room, eight people turned to me . They were all strangers and I did not know a single person among them . Because of that they all looked at me with a gaze that seemed to be saying ‘What’s this kid doing here?’
“Hey!” [???]
Is he going to pick a fight with me!?
As soon as I thought that…
“Are you Ryouma!?” [???]
“Huh? Umm, yeah, but…” [Ryouma]
The middle-aged man that called out to me approached with a carefree smile . He appeared friendly and even called me by name .

Well, he’s probably the person-in-charge for the training camp . He’s probably not a thug, but…
“I’m sorry, did we meet somewhere before?” [Ryouma]
“Ha ha, I guess it can’t be helped . My name is Roche . You seem to have forgotten, but you saved me once before . Hey! You guys come too!” [Roche]
Beside the man called Roche were two middle-aged men and two middle-aged women .
…I do feel like I’ve met them before, as they all seem familiar, but I just can’t quite remember where I saw them .
“You can’t remember, huh?” [Roche]
“That’s only normal . There were a lot of people there too, after all . ” [Woman 1]
“There’s no way you could remember all of us, right? Our meeting only lasted for a moment too . ” [Woman 2]
“…? I’m sorry . I really can’t remember . ” [Ryouma]
“There was a job to hunt the goblin outbreak at the north during spring, right? Do you remember now?” [Roche]

“That’s…!!” [Ryouma]
Ah, I remember . Roche-san and his four friends were definitely there .
“Are you the people I healed back then?” [Ryouma]
“Ah, you remembered! You really saved us back then . If not for you and your heal slimes, we might be dead already . ” [Roche]
“You healed me and this guy too . Although we were only lightly wounded . ” [Man 1]
“I’m Howard . This one here is Lucas . ” [Howard]
The two men pointed at each other . After taking a closer look at the two women, I can tell that they were one of those that thanked me while crying back then . It seems I did something really rude .
“It’s fine . Anyway, since you’re here, are you an instructor too?” [Roche]
“Yes . The guild master suggested for me to go . ” [Ryouma]
“I see! In that case, let’s introduce ourselves again . I’m Roche . I’m going to be the leader for the job this time . I’ll give a short explanation of how things are going to go, but if you have any questions, just go ahead and ask . ” [Roche]
“Thank you very much . I’m used to camping, but I’ve never taught anyone before . Please take care of me . ” [Ryouma]
In any case, it looks like we’ll be able to start this job without anything bad happening . Still, this sure is a strange coincidence .
By the way, the two women are Lucy-san and Mimil-san . They’re both mages .
“Students! Attention!”
After confirming that all the instructors have gathered, we had a brief meeting, and then we moved out .
As soon as we showed our face at the corner of the guild, Roche-san called out to the gathered students . His tone changed a bit, but this is probably his teacher-mode .
From what they’ve told me, he and his friends have mostly retired as adventurers and are mostly focusing their attention to raising young adventurers . Although they’re all veteran adventurers, just as Wogan-san said, they also have a lot of experience teaching .
After explaining what the students needed to pay attention to, each instructor gave a short introduction .
Roche-san’s party introduced themselves in turn . I was the last person to introduce himself, being the 15th person .
“Good morning, everyone . My name is Ryouma Takebayashi . Before coming to this town I lived out in the wilds at a forest called Gana for 3 years . I mainly sustained myself through hunting . Because of that despite only being an E Ranker, I have sufficient knowledge at making camp, securing food, and distinguishing between poisonous herbs and medicinal herbs . The guild master can vouch for my skills . I might appear younger than you, but please don’t worry about my age .
When it comes to weapons, I specialize at using the bow and the katana . I’m also learned in the basics of magic and can even use High Heal . Should you get hurt along the way, please feel free to call out to me .
Let’s get along during these 5 days of training . ” [Ryouma]
“Please take care of us . ” [Students]
…Hmm… Although they haven’t openly expressed their disapproval, their reaction isn’t that good either… Well, it can’t be helped .
“And with that, the introductions are over . We have 5 carriages outside, so we’ll divide you into groups of 6! Each carriage will have 3 instructors! We’re departing in 10 minutes! So you have that much time to decide your seats and do whatever else you need to do! Understood? Good! See you in 10 minutes! Dismissed!” [Roche]
At that, all the people in the area began moving .
There are 15 instructors and 30 students all in all . That’s 45 people all in all, so as one might expect from having that many people move out all at once, the entrance is really crowded . That being the case, I think I’ll go to the toilet first .
