Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
The Bala Auxiliary Forces

A few days after the deal, Darren visited the library almost every day. He investigated the 'Green Emerald' thoroughly from every newspaper there was.

But what he found was nothing more than the number of cases he managed to solve perfectly. There is no information about his real name and what his face looks like. It's very upsetting Darren.

"It seems that the information I have to leave to Tora" murmured Darren.

At the same time, Darren trained a lot Tora and Shiro. For Tora, Darren teaches some magic that might be useful to improve his intel performance.

"Sneak, Speed, and Jump Boost. You have to master everything!" Darren told Tora.

Tora just nodded her head in excitement. He did not want to lose his new job.

"And for you, Shiro," Darren continued. "It looks like you fit in with ice magic. It's better if you focus on that element."

"But, I've never learned that magic before" Shiro said hesitantly.

"Just calm. I will always help you" Darren said with a smile.

Shiro's face brightened. He then replied with a smile and, nodding, said, "Okay! I won't let you down, Esema-sama!"

Present Day's...

Darren, Shiro, and Tora are camping out of town. Near the forest near the Erfroren mountains, they set up a tent.

It was dark, and the stars were scattered in the sky. Darren was sitting by the campfire staring up at the sky. The stars reminded him of his old friend, Yuzuna.

"Yuzuna..-san," Call her in your heart. He hoped to hear the answer to his heart's call.

As Darren daydreams, Tora suddenly appears with her Speed spell. He stood right in front of Darren.

"How is he doing?" Darren asked Tora.

"Let me report, Esema-sama," replied Tora. "The troops are still seen busy removing a chunk of ice on a cliff. Their journey will be delayed by a few hours. If you're quick, it might be time to catch up with them."

"Well, thank you for the information" Darren said. "Now meet Shiro. He's cooking dinner. Rest and restore your energy."

Darren then stood up from his seat while widening his robe.

"I leave Shiro on you, "Said Darren while activating Speed's spell, and then disappeared quickly from it.

"What are you planning, Esema-sama?' Tora Mumbles.

Darren moved quickly south, where the Erfroren Mountains were located. If the troops were long enough to move the iceberg, then he could get there in time.

" Pointing my face in front of the squad is not a good idea. It's a good thing I've prepared a mask to cover my identity" Darren said, wearing a mask on his face.

"The army contained Friedlich's soldiers who were sent to aid the Europeans. The leader of their army is the Emerald Green."

"I don't actually have any business with Friedlich's army, but they could be a good guide for me to meet Michael. I have to take advantage of this opportunity."

"Finally, my grudge will pay off here. I'll kill that bastard!"

For a long time, the air started to cool. The cold could freeze Darren's lungs. But he used his Frost Protection spell that he had just learned a few days ago in the library, so that he could breathe normally again.

Before long, Darren began to hear some sounds not far from his present existence. He immediately slowed down his footsteps and activated the Sneak spell.

"Es is huge. We're not gonna be able to move it," turns out it's Friedlich's soldiers.

"Can't it be destroyed?" Ask someone who is none other than the Masked Man.

"can't. This ice is too thick" replied the soldier. "Without fire magic users, we can't melt this ice. We have to take a detour."

"But the detour is very far away. We could be in Europe in two weeks!" Masked man protest. "Aren't there any fire magic users here?"

All the troops shook their heads.

"Agh, the general was so stupid. It is possible that he sent troops without taking into account the possibility first," Grumbled Masked Man. "Basic troublesome."

Darren who listened to them behind a stone, felt that this would be very troublesome. After all, the only people who could lead him to Michael were just them. With their road to Europe blocked, their destination would also be hindered.

"Do I have to help them?" Thought Darren. "I could have exhausted the ice with my fire magic secretly. But that would make them think they were being attacked. Their meeting could even be canceled."

"Do I have to show myself, and say that I came to help them?"

"That seems like a good choice. To cover up my identity, I can confess that I am a messenger from Europe. I hope they believe."

Darren immediately took off his Sneak spell and jumped from behind a rock. He landed right behind the troops, making the troops shocked and immediately put their weapons.

"Ey. ey. calm down" said Darren, "I'm not here to look for trouble."

"Who are you?" Ask one of the soldiers.

The masked man walked over to Darren. Darren tried to stay calm. The masked man must have been a meticulous and vigilant man. Darren had to be more careful when dealing with him.

"Can you please tell me your name?" Ask the masked man.

"Ezema" replied Darren.

"Hmm.your Mana aura reminds me of someone," said the masked man after watching Darren for quite a while.

Darren was surprised. He had forgotten that this person had the talent to sense the flow of magic.

"Damn, I forgot."

But soon there was a sound of laughter behind the mask. "Well, you don't seem to understand what I'm saying."

"Ehe.. Yeah, yeah?" Darren's reply was awkward.

"All right then. Fellow as a messenger, I should introduce myself as well," the man continued. "My name is Akira, captain of Friedlich's army. Please cooperate."

Darren and Akira shook hands.

"Now, let me melt this ice" Darren said.

The soldiers began to retreat a few steps away from the ice, while Darren gathered his magic energy.

"Fire Elemental: Fire Ball!"

Darren's fireball slid into the ice. Darren repeated the same trick several times until the ice melted completely.

"good. Now, let's continue our journey" Akira told his troops.

They began to move again, as did Darren who followed them with his disguise.

"Is wearing a mask also trending in Europe?" Ask Akira suddenly.

"Ah, not really. I use it just for fun" Darren replied.

Akira suddenly began to narrow his eyes. He looked at Darren's entire body seriously. "I've honestly never seen you before. But your Mana flow feels familiar," he said.

"Maybe you're wrong" Darren replied trying to blend in.

"yes too. Such a coincidence is unlikely to happen," Akira said as he let off his breath. "Lately my head has been very messed up. I'm so often negligent in doing my job."

"You people?"

"Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have talked to you about this. Please forget my words," said Akira again.

Darren just nodded.

"I heard your words about General Friedlich" Darren said suddenly. "Do you have a problem with him?"

"Eh? You heard her, huh?" Reply Akira. "Please don't tell anyone. Actually, I think that General Friedlich is very inexperienced."

Darren started focusing his ears. This might be good information in the future.

"What do you mean he's not a dick?" Ask Darren.

"Yes, that's right," replied Akira. "I'm pretty sure you've heard his name."

"Eh.. t-of course you have," replied Darren. "Campret, I don't know his name."

"He was made a general not because of his achievements, but because he was the king's son-in-law" Akira explained. "With the lack of military knowledge he had, I was sure that the Royal military would soon be downed."

Darren nodded back. He shakes his chin. "Compared inversely with the General of the Kingdom of Erobernesia" Darren said. "Erobernesian general is very experienced. I even had trouble keeping up with his fighting style."

"If he's great, but there's someone who has beaten him" said Akira.

"Taiji?"

"Yes, Taiji-san has also. But there's another one" said Akira. "A bronze adventurer. His name is Darren."

Darren jerks.

"Ah, she," said Darren trying to stay calm and blend in with the situation.

"Yes, you must have known, anyway" continued Akira. "How strong is he really?"

"Eitherway. If he can beat Michael, he's definitely not an ordinary person" Darren replied.

"Consulting yourself feels weird to me. But I have to act as much as possible."

"The only thing protecting me right now is this mask. If I'm just a little careless, they'll suspect me right away."

Darren continues to walk through the cold Erfroren mountains, with Friedlich's forces unaware of his plans.

Is Darren finally going to meet Michael? Will his revenge be paid here? Waiting for the next trip.
