Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More!

That day, they gathered all the new students in one place and took us to the river located on the citys outskirts. There was a big river near Raum that supplied its population with water. Todays goal was to make a big inlet for swimming there.

We planned to gather the riverside rocks then pile them up inside the river that had a slow current, and make an inlet or bay, in other words, and hold our swimming lesson there.

Over a hundred students entered the water with an armful of rock and dammed up the current. My swimsuit didnt make it, so I had no choice but to enter the water with my gym uniform, which was quite nerve-racking even if I was a child.

We didnt make much progress in one day, but we were going to keep it up for around a month, so the inlet would eventually grow big enough for tens of people to swim in it.

Ugh, so cold. Why couldnt they just ask the Adventurers to do this instead?

Because some children may join the army and become soldiers. They are using this to train us with public work too.

Letina who was physically like your average child complained while carrying the rocks. I also carried the rocks while secretly strengthening my muscles with a wool yarn underneath my clothes.

Naturally, I didnt use magic to strengthen them, as that wouldve gathered attention. Some of the yarns snapped midway, but I replaced them with new ones each time. Just replacing them did the job well, since carrying some stones didnt require extreme movements.

Ah, Nicole, Letina!

Hm?

Oh?

Looking towards that familiar voice, I saw Michelle and a few dozen kids heading our way. I could see their guiding instructor, so probably the Adventurers support academys bunch were also rounded up for inlet-making.

Are you also making an inlet for swimming?

Yup. We share PE related lessons with the magic academy, so we also have to join in!

I greeted her back as she slipped out their line and ran up to us. It wasnt like she slipped out work, for she simply rushed towards their destination, so the teacher let it pass.

We got to the shore and started chatting while staying in our swimming uniforms. Cortina who was acting as the supervisor didnt start scolding us over a little break. Rather, we had to take breaks or we wouldnt be able to work in such cold water for long periods.

Okay, if youre going to rest, make sure you warm your bodies up properly.

She said that and presented steaming cups before us. It was bean tea with milk added.

Michelle! Hurry up and come back already!

Their teacher caught up and scolded her. The support academys students were already lined up, too. Looking at them, however, made me think they looked quite out of place. Yes, they were clearly too lightly equipped.

They at least had weapons like Michelle to protect themselves from monsters. But other than those, they had far too few things on them.

Michelle, wheres your lunchbox?

She, or should I say they, didnt seem to have brought food with them. Other than weapons, they had nothing, save for a change of clothes.

Mhm, we are going to procure it here. Theres a lot of fish in the river, after all!

Wow, youre fishing on top of making the inlet? Support academy is on another level.

More like catching them by hand!

Oh, right, they dont have fishing rods on them. How do you even catch them by hand?

The first group is going to start making the bank. The second group will prepare the kitchen range and the third one will catch fish. Can you do it?

Yes!

The kids answered cheerfully and scattered to different directions. Waiting for that, Cortina raised her voice.

Okay, lets take a short break. You might catch a cold if your temperature drops too much! Its just the right time for lunch too, so lets do that!

Unlike those kids, we brought lunchboxes with us. We werent putting as much importance on the survival skills as they did. Other students also got out of the water and rummaged through their luggage.

I suppose it was because we were kids that we werent bothered about being wet. Seeing that, Cortina clapped and yelled once more.

Hey! Change your clothes first! Im the one getting cold here just by watching you!

Ehh!

If you kids caught a cold Id be the one held responsible!

Cortina chased after the kid who ran around, not wanting to change. She used magic and proceeded to catch them one by one.

You look nothing like an adult.

Oh leave me alone!

I ended up muttering my thoughts as I watched her resorting to magic to catch those kids. She overheard them and retorted back.

Nicole, if you are free, help me catch them.

Kaay.

Playing a bit of tag here with all these rocks scattered about could serve as training in a way. Thinking that I decided to chase them after I changed.

Okay, changing done. Lets go, Letina.

Leave it to me!

Letina raised her hands overhead and dashed out. But there wasnt that big of a difference in ability between her and the fleeing students. Thus, she wasnt as successful in her hunt. I was different, however.

Footwork and body balance. Unlike those kids who ran away with all their might, I had my previous lifes experience to aid me.

I ran past them dexterously while covering the minimal ground, got in front of them, and secretly caught them with threads. The number I caught rivaled Cortinas who used magic to do it. After we caught all of them, she couldnt hide her surprise seeing my number.

Ill be damned. I couldnt beat my student even by using magic Did my skills grow dull?

Isnt it simply because Im specialized in close-combat unlike you?

Even so Youre just too good, Nicole Im feeling bitter as a teacher.

You have a lot of strong points, Cortina.

Im happy you say that, but still

With a sigh, I encouraged the sulking Cortina by patting her on the head.
