CLASSROOM FOR HEROES NOVEL SC (2025)

When the hero Blade defeated the demon king, he lost all his powers. For him, this should have been a dream come true-finally, life as a normal student, without fighting or adventuring. That is, until he discovers his school is a school for heroes. He just wants to get by with a solid average, but as a hero with real experience, it turns out his idea of average is a little off...!

Retired Hero Blade is enjoying school life to the fullest. Now that he's made one hundred friends, he plans to relax and take in the "normal" life. But that may not be possible, what with the Overlord's daughter declaring Blade her rival, a battle royale breaking out in class, and a monster bird attacking the capital. Plus, Earnest attempts a fiery diet, and it turns out Blade never learned to swim. Each school day brings a new adventure, and a new chance for Blade to make even more friends!

Blade, now surrounded by his 111 friends (including two birds and a dragon), should be enjoying his sweet school life...So why isn't he?! Well, first his class is invaded by a superstrong guardian out to defeat him, then he's forced to challenge the king to a duel with Earnest as collateral! And as if that wasn't enough, the students of Rosewood Academy must face more of the king's so-called "practical training," brave mixed-gender hot springs, and survive a trip into the bowels of the royal castle. This ex-hero may be retired, but his adventures aren't over yet!

Blade's peaceful days are rudely interrupted when a pack of mass-produced artificial Heroes who all look exactly like Sophie come after his life. What's a super-being to do? Meanwhile, Blade risks exposing his identity by coaching everyone as the 'Legendary Hero King,' and Earnest's position as empress is threatened in the first ever student council election. And when Madam suddenly gets married and retires, Blade faces the most important question of all-who will make his katsu curry now?!

Blade is enjoying his youth to the fullest and completely failing to shake his reputation as a super being. After mistakenly believing that kissing is a standard greeting, Blade goes around smooching everyone, to his classmates' horror. Then Earnest and the others get it in their head that Blade isn't very good at magic and try to help him by instigating a super-being hunt where only magic combat is allowed. Finally, it's time for a friendly match between Rosewood and another school, pitting Earnest against her biggest rival. She isn't too worried, until Blade gives her opponent some special training!
