A Misunderstood Mentor

Original: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8759fg/

“Art thou Sword Saint Alice’s Master, the Great Sword Saint Takumi?”
“Huh? No I think you have the wrong person?”

After I was kicked out of my party, I retired as an adventurer to live a slow life in the mountains by myself.
But before I knew it my disciple became the strongest human. Rumors that me, her master, was the strongest in the universe began, causing me to become first in the adventurer rankings.
Through this misunderstanding, aspiring disciples, dragons, even heroes and demon lords came one after another before me.
Please, stop.
I’m just a small fry you know?
This is not a story about me becoming the strongest in the universe or anything like that.
Simply a tragedy in which I get caught between extraordinary people and continue to be misunderstood, no……..
It is a comedy.
