Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
Fugitives
"Damn, they're everywhere" Gerutu Darren hid behind a parked cart.
"Quick find him! Don't let him escape the city!" Shouted a soldier.
Darren cornered. He doesn't know where to go. One step wrong and he will be caught.
Suddenly one of the soldiers saw Darren. "That's it! He's in the back of the wagon!"
Darren panic. He immediately stood up and ran towards a small alley. After all, the alley turned out to be dead. Darren tries to escape by climbing over the wall.
"Non-elemental Spell: Jump Boo-"
Swuush... Cracks! Before Darren could finish his spell, an arrow floated up and stuck it in his left leg.
"Damn, I'm stuck. I'll get caught."
10 Minutes Before...
Darren just got to the inn. After traveling all night, not only his body was exhausted but also his mental.
"Please promise me that you will never blame yourself again" Yuzuna's words still ring in her head.
"Sorry, Yuzuna-san. I can't keep that promise" Darren said softly. "But I promise. I will change this world for the better. Whatever way. So that this kind of thing doesn't happen back to other people."
Rolf and Yuzuna have died horribly. Darren didn't even have time to say goodbye. And now he must find Hayate's sister and convey his brother's greetings.
"Why?" Darren murmured as he covered his face with a pillow, "Is there nothing I can do to prevent it all?"
Suddenly there was a noise from downstairs. His voice sounded like the voice of a crowd of fathers.
Darren, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes again and got out of bed. He then dropped down while putting his ear on the floor.
"Here's an adventurer named Darren, right?" I heard someone ask that.
The guard lady replied, "He's right. It's upstairs."
Hearing from how the woman replied, it seemed like the men were armed.
"The innkeeper couldn't have answered so easily. At least he will ask about the interests of the guest, and once confirmed, they will tell the location of the room the eater."
"While the woman answered. Means my visitors are not ordinary people. Or maybe they are... Erobernesian Army!?"
Darren instantly noticed. He packed his things immediately. With his leather bag, he also did not forget to bring his old training clothes.
After which, without much thought, he immediately jumped out through the window. But unfortunately, the action was seen by a group of soldiers who had been waiting for him on the streets.
"That's it!" Shouted one of the soldiers.
Darren instantly cast his magic. "Non-elemental Spell: Speed!"
Darren doesn't want to fight inside the city. Because someone might get hurt. If indeed he had no other choice but to fight against that army, he would at least have to take them away from the crowd of citizens.
With his speed magic, Darren ran. But because he was too tired, he tried to hide. He saw a parked cart and decided to hide there.
For now he can be safe.
"Non-elemental Spell: Thermography!" With this magic, Darren could see everyone's hot temperature, even if the person was behind the wall.
"Damn it, they're everywhere" Gerrutu Darren.
"Quick find him! Don't let him escape the city!" Shouted a soldier.
Darren cornered. He doesn't know where to go. One step wrong and he will be caught.
Suddenly one of the soldiers saw Darren. "That's it! He's in the back of the wagon!"
Darren panic. He immediately stood up and ran towards a small alley. After all, the alley turned out to be dead. Darren tries to escape by climbing over the wall.
"Non-elemental Spell: Jump Boo-"
Swuush... Cracks! Before Darren could finish his spell, an arrow floated up and stuck it in his left leg.
"Damn, I'm stuck. I'll get caught."
One by one the troops began to point their arrows at Darren. They seemed to have been ordered to kill Darren on the spot.
"Non-elemental Spell: Blind!" Someone cast a spell.
Darren was shocked when he felt his body being lifted by someone. But then he was even more surprised to learn that the man was Fabrio.
"Fabrio-san?" Darren said as he carried. "What are you doing here?"
"The whole army's after you, huh?" Fabrio. "I've heard the news that you've killed a lot of European soldiers. Did you really do that?"
"Really. I killed them" Darren replied softly. "Then why did you save me?"
"The king said that, the one who can take your head will be paid a high price" Fabrio said. "Ah, no. No. I'm just kidding."
"I used to be a captain leading the Erobernesian army" Fabrio continued. "I also know very well how the European Kingdom treats Animal Man. They killed many human animals and made their children slaves. I fought it, and ended up being sacked by the king. I then lost my post as captain and was sent to this city."
Darren nodded. He did not expect that Fabrio also hated the rules of this world.
After arriving at the northern city gate, Fabrio then gave Darren a new cloth. The clothes were dark in color, with a cover on the head.
"Use this. It can make it difficult for them to recognize you" Fabrio said as he thrust the clothes.
Darren accepts. "Fabrio-san's. Why would you want to help me?"
"Because I believe that only you can change the order of the world" Fabrio replied.
Darren smiled too. "Then, thank you for trusting me" Darren said. "May I ask for one more thing?"
"What's that?"
"Can I call you Om Fabrio?" Ask Darren.
Fabrio laughed too. "Of course I can. Let's just say I'm your uncle."
After wearing new clothes, Darren was given instructions by Fabrio. About the direction where he should go.
"Run north through the Erfroren Mountains. There is a Kingdom called Friedlich" Fabrio continued, pointing towards the forest. "If you have time, maybe you can stay there for a while, before the news reaches the people there."
Darren nodded. He then left while waving his hand to Fabrio.
"Thank you for everything, Om Fabrio."
Fabrio replied with a smile and a wave as well. "Be careful on the road!"
