Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
The Castle's Rear Dojo

The next day, the situation in the Kingdom was already a little calmer. Akira and Darren report to Schaff that the threat has been muted and the perpetrator has been repulsed.

"Good then," Schaff breathed a sigh of relief. "But I'm still curious, who would be able to knock down a wall like that."

Although a little uncomfortable has lied, but it was the right decision. If Schaff knew about the Demon King, he could have taken a hasty path and caused trouble.

Darren only works as his advisor. But if Schaff becomes stubborn, Darren can't fight him. He could only keep watching.

"I can't be trusted. I just lied to the General, "Bisik Akira slowly.

"Well, how else. He's the reckless type of person. It's even dangerous if he knows this" Darren replied, stretching his hand.

Darren and Akira walk together towards the library, where Tora, Shiro, and Tomatsu are located.

"I'm back" Darren said as he opened the door, followed by Akira following him from behind.

"Esema-sama, welcome," Welcome Shiro with a bright face.

While Tora and Tomatsu were busy looking through the books on the shelf. I don't know what the two of them have been through, but now they look familiar.

"What are you looking for, Tora?" Ask Darren as he approaches.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just researching about the true history of the Demon Lords," Tora replied with one of her hands taking the book off the shelf. "Tomatsu-sama also helped me."

"Ah, so," Darren peeked at the title of the book that Tora was holding.

"Old Demon?" His reading. "Is there another continent besides the one we live in now?"

"Of course there is" Reply Tomatsu. "It's located to the northeast of the Menschheit continent, our continent."

Darren feels enlightened. "Woah, it turns out that the world is vast as well."

"Hmph..I think you're an insightful person, you don't even know about it" Akira said, crossing his arms. "Other than with such great strength."

"Yes. about that. I'm just a home-based kid, anyway" Darren replied.

Tomatsu suddenly clapped his hands. "Oh yes! Today should be my allotment to teach you, Esema-kun."

"Yes, that's right!" Reply Darren enthusiastically.

"If you want to practice, I have a good place," Akira suddenly snatched. "There is an unused building at the back of the castle. It's like a training ground, but it hasn't been used since Schaff became a general."

"Dine. Then, please show me the way, Akira," Darren replied.

Suddenly Shiro approached him and pulled his sleeve. His face was clear for no reason.

But Darren replied with a smile.

"Yes-yes, you can come along" Darren said as if he understood his point.

Shiro immediately smiled happily. "Thank you, Esema-sama."

Akira led them to the building. Passing through the vast and majestic hallway of the castle, Darren and his friends walked out through the back door.

It turned out that behind the castle was a very spacious courtyard. The place was very cool with a few shady trees growing. The flowers are also many lined on the fringes with diverse colors.

"There" Akira pointed his finger at a building made of wood.

Darren recognized the shape of the building.

"Ah, that's a dojo!"

When I got there, it was very dusty. The walls were dull and spider webs filled the ceiling. It seems to be true that the place has not been used for a long time.

"When has this place been abandoned?" Darren asked as he scratched his finger into the pile of dust.

"Maybe about five years ago" replied Akira. "When the king's daughter married Schaff, she never visited this place again."

Darren's view was directed at Akira. "Princess King?" Her speech. "You mean, the King's daughter used to be a fighter?"

"Yes," replied Akira as he blew some dust from a chair and sat there. "He was one of Friedlich's swordsmen. He has created a lot of sword art."

"Woah, I don't know about that" Darren replied.

"No wonder. Since her marriage to Schaff, she has been rarely seen. He spent a lot of time in his room."

"Eeh. I want to try to meet him" Darren said.

"I'm sure Schaff will definitely introduce him to you one day" Akira replied. "You just have to earn his trust."

Akira put his mask back on and got out of the chair. He walked to the door and waved his hand.

"All right then. You can continue your training. I'm sure Schaff doesn't have a problem with this" he said as he stepped out of the dojo. "I'll get back to work."

Darren replied with a wave of his hand.

"Hm..." Tomatsu looks unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Darren asked, looking over.

"This place is too dirty to wear," Reply Tomatsu as he gazes in all directions. "The wall is dull, and the floor is dirty. If we practice in a place like this, then we won't be able to achieve maximum results."

Darren agreed. "yes too. I didn't think the Demon King had such a thought."

"Then let's clean this place up first" Tora suggested.

"I think that's a good idea" Shiro continued. "I'll help."

Tomatsu nodded while folding his hands. "Ha, ha, I think this is gonna be a good first practice."

Finally, the four of them started to clean up the place.

Shiro and Tora were busy sweeping the floor, while Darren removed the dirt attached to his water magic.

Tomatsu just stands there doing nothing. He smiled broadly as he looked at them at work.

"Tomatsu, don't you have a job?" Darren said in an irritated tone. "If there's none, help us."

Tomatsu is even grinning. "He, he, let's just say it's one of your forms of exercise" he said. "I'll stand here watching you as a coach."

"Huff, okay. You're mageran."

When Tora cleans a closet, she accidentally finds something when she opens it.

"Esema-sama, look," Call her.

When viewed, it turned out that the closet was full of swords and other weapons.

"Woah, sword!" Darren. "But it looks like these are old weapons. Plus, the quality is very low."

Darren pulled the guns out of the closet. Some parts are broken. Some of the metal heads are also rusted.

"There's a spear, there's a sword, there's an axe," Darren took them out one by one. "complete too. It'll be useful for practice."

After a long time, the dojo has also been seen to be cleaner. The walls had been cleaned with water spells, and the damaged floors had been patched with some earth magic.

"Witch of water and land. Turns out you can master those two magic huh," Tomatsu turned out to notice Darren.

Darren. "Ah yes. About that, there's actually something I want to show you."

Darren then clenched both of his hands and began to concentrate. From his right hand came a small fire. And from his left hand, out a low-voltage electrical current.

"W-You can master fire and lightning!?" Tomatsu surprised. "It turns out to be true. There's something strange about you-No, rather unique."

As Tomatsu said that, it came to Darren's mind to say his origin. But, again he hesitated and decided not to say it.

"What kind of man are you?" Tomatsu. "I've never seen a human with this kind of talent."

"Esema-sama!" Shiro's face was glowing.

"Ha, even the Demon King was amazed to see it," Tora instead looked proud of her Master.

Darren pulled the magic back from his hand. He then took a sword and gave it to Tomatsu.

"I'm just an ordinary human being" Darren said as he thrust his hand. "Therefore, I want to become stronger."

An excited smile was painted on Tomatsu's face. The parasites were getting more graceful with that kind of smile.

"alright. I'll train you some techniques" he said, taking the sword from Darren's hand. "But before that, I need to learn your fighting style first."

Darreh understood Tomatsu's intentions. He immediately took a few steps back from before Tomatsu and took another sword. He held it up and prepared to fight.

"You are sensitive too" Tomatsu said. "alright. Now, attack me with your full strength. And, don't use magic!"

Darren tightened his fist. The fingers that were coiled on the sword hilt, started to blush. He took a deep breath and began to take the position of the horses.

"Prepare, Tomatsu-sensei!" Shouted Darren as he stepped foot quickly.

He ran straight quickly while swinging the sword from the right.

Tomatsu was a little surprised. "He's not thinking about strategy. He only relies on ability. But, he's fast."

Tomatsu just casually tilted his body and Darren's slash managed to avoid it.

"Your attack is too simple" Tomatsu said. "Have you never fought without magic?"

Tomatsu slammed his sword into Darren's sword, sending him crashing several meters away.

"In our previous fight, you look great with your strategy. But this dojo, you don't have many things you can use" Tomatsu brandished his sword. "Now, try to avoid this attack!"

Tomatsu drew his sword back to his back, and began to launch a quick succession of stabs.

Darren panic. Tomatsu's sword technique was completely the same as when he used a spear. He focused more on stabbing attacks than slashing attacks.

"Attacks like this are very difficult to fend off" Darren said in his heart. "It's better if I avoid."

Darren leaped towards the wall on the left and immediately planned to strike back.

"Right now is a good time to strike back. He won't be able to pull out his sword and change the direction of his attack all of a sudden."

Darren threw himself with the wall as his focus. Quickly, he positioned his sword and prepared to slash.

But suddenly...

Gubrakk! Tomatsu catches him and slams Darren to the floor.

"Get-sama!" Shouted Tora and Shiro at the same time.

Darren's head was held up by Tomatsu's hard palm. He could not move because his hands were firmly locked.

"I've guessed that" Tomatsu said. "I deliberately made you think that my attacks could not be stopped and forced you to dodge."

Darren finally relaxed his body, a sign he had given up. Tomatsu took it off and Darren got up.

"Duh. duh. duh hurts," Darren held his head. "If you're a girl but you're really strong."

"That's still not how much. Suppose that I use the same power as when I destroyed the wall" Reply Tomatsu.

"Well, no. I could die."

Shiro immediately approached Darren. He looked worried, and the look in his eyes really gave a different air.

"Esema-sama, are you okay?" He asked while subconsciously grasping Darren's palm.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just a little..." Darren then looked at his own hand which was holding onto. "Ohh, anu, Shiro."

Shiro immediately regained his senses and released his hand. His face immediately flushed with embarrassment for his actions.

"I'm sorry, Esema-sama. I didn't mean to" he said, bowing.

"Eh, i-yes. That's not a big deal. Forget it," replied Darren.

Tomatsu watched them both. "What are you two..."

"No. We're just friends" Darren said.

Shiro immediately blushed in embarrassment. His face is getting red. "Esema-sama considers me a friend. How lucky I am."

Darren turned his face and walked towards the exit.

"Where are you going, Esema-sama?" Ask Tora.

"I'll get some fresh air" Darren replied as he walked.

While outside the dojo, Darren felt a cool breeze touch his skin. It feels very comfortable. Even the pain was immediately gone carried away.

A gentle breeze, suddenly blowing gently. Bringing the leaves with him. And a flower, landing right over Darren's head.

The flower is bright red. Very beautiful and graceful. Remind Darren of someone.

"Y-Yuzuna-san..." The name suddenly flashed in Darren's head.

Darren looked at the red flower, as if he was staring at his old friend. Unknowingly, a few tears dripped down her cheeks.

"Yuzuna-san, thank you for reminding me," Darren said softly. "I will not forget that grudge."
