Classroom for Heroes (Novel) Vol. 01

HE’S DONE FIGHTING EVIL… NOW IT’S TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS!

When the Hero Blade defeated the Overlord, he lost all his powers. For him, this should be a dream come true—he can finally experience life as a normal student. Unfortunately, as a veteran Hero at a school meant to train future Heroes, he has little chance of blending in.

What’s more, the students Blade meets there, like him, have a rather skewed view of what’s “normal.” He’ll have to contend with the school’s overbearing Empress and her icy glares, his own way-too-flashy attacks, and even an escaped dragon! Despite it all, can Blade manage to make friends and enjoy school life without exposing his true identity?
