Shigeru Sagazaki is the author of the Japanese light novel series From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman: My Hotshot Discples Are All Grown Up Now and They Won't Leave Me Alone (Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru: Tada no Inaka no Kenjutsu Shihan Datta noni, Taisei Shita Deshitachi ga Ore o Hottekurenai Ken). Tetsuhiro Nabeshima is the illustrator.
The book was first serialised in November 2020 on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website. In April 2021, Square Enix bought the book, and it was then serialised under their SQEX Novel banner. Additionally, there is a manga adaptation by Kazuki Sato that has been published in serial form since August 2021 in Akita Shoten's Dokodemo Young Champion magazine.
The English light novel was licensed by J-Novel, and the Yen Press licence manga. J-Novel describes the story: Beryl Gardinant, a self-proclaimed “humble old man,” is a sword instructor at his dojo in a rural, backwater village. In his younger years, he dreamed of glory as a master swordsman, but those days are long behind him. Out of the blue, he receives a visit from a famous former pupil who brings him world-shattering news—he’s been appointed as a special instructor for the knights of the Liberion Order! With his life now turned upside down, Beryl travels to the capital and reunites with some of his former students: elite knights, an ace wizard, and even an adventurer who’s attained the highest guild rank possible. But why do they all want his tutelage?! As far as he’s concerned, they clearly don’t need him anymore. Can Beryl live up to his new position? And will he ever get a moment’s peace away from his adoring students?!
