Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
Back Hunted

"You're not from this world, are you?"

Darren still looked at Tomatsu in disbelief. The secret he had been trying to hide all along, was dismantled in an instant.

He tried to think about how Tomatsu knew this, but it seemed that now was not the right time to think about it.

"What are you talking about, Tomatsu?" Darren tried to dodge. "Another world? Is there such a thing?"

Tomatsu's facial features instantly changed. He approached Darren even closer and touched his cheek with his finger.

"No need to lie" Tomatsu said in a low tone. "I already know. There's no point in evading."

Darren was sweating. Now his mind was turned towards the thing that might happen after this.

Would his status as a person from another world threaten his life? Or could it even pose a greater danger than he expected?

After being silent for quite a while, Darren gulped. Tomatsu's finger slowly moved towards his chin and stroked it slowly.

"Say. Do you want to go to this world?" Ask Tomatsu in an intimidating tone.

Darren's getting scared. But he knew, the more silent he was, the more cornered he became. It must be fought, even if only in oral form.

"Stop that!" Darren removed Tomatsu's hand from his face. "The one who should be asking here is me. What do you want? And, is this so important?"

Tomatsu pulled his hand while chuckling.

"Finally you admit it" he said with a smile. "It's only fitting that I feel a strange aura every time I'm around you."

Darren scrunched his forehead. "So you know because of my aura?" His question.

Tomatsu nodded. "It's not just that, actually. Indeed your aura is a little strange, but it is not enough to make myself sure," Reply Tomatsu while sitting on the mattress. "Because I kept wondering, I finally couldn't keep quiet. And after seeing your actions in that Dungeon, I became convinced."

"So this exercise was your plan?" Darren moved out of his chair.

"Yup, that's right. Seeing you control the dark element alone has satisfied me, "Tomatsu replied.

"Monster can't control light element. On the contrary, humans also cannot control the element of darkness." Tomatsu continued, "But in this case, you are not an ordinary human who may not be fixated by those rules."

Darren was silent. It turned out that Tomatsu had gone further in this regard and was beyond Darren's estimation.

"I didn't know that you were someone who could be serious about something" Darren said, trying to relax. "Then, what are you going to do after this? Are you going to kill me because it could endanger the world?"

Tomatsu. "No. You're the one in danger, too" he said.

Darren frowning. He did not understand what Tomatsu said. Can humans from other worlds not live long in this world? Like some kind of difference in natural laws?

"You mean?" Darren. "Will my age be short?"

Tomatsu takes a breath. "No, not that" he answered. "The seventh Demon King, the Dark Demon King. It'll be a problem for you."

Darren glared in shock. "Demon Kings?" Just hearing it was enough to make Darren tremble a little.

Tomatsu continued. "Yes. He was the youngest Demon King of the other six. He also has different thoughts from us" he said. "We Demon Lords aim to lead a group and make it the strongest in the world. But it's different."

Darren gulped. "Destination? Don't-don't..."

Tomatsu nodded. "Yes. You, and the other Outlanders. He's hunting humans like you."

This news is like a bomb to Darren. Again, his life was indirectly threatened, and it was possible that those around him would be involved.

But on the other hand, he also discovered a new thing that made him a little curious.

"wait. Outlanders?" Darren said as he tried to calm himself. "So you said 'The Outlanders'. Does that mean I'm not the only person from another world?"

"Yes, right. At least that's what he said" Reply Tomatsu. "There are many people from other worlds that he has captured. But I don't really understand what he did to them. He is a Demon King with a closed personality."

Darren scowling. His face was gloomy.

"I'm happy, I finally know that I'm not alone in this world. There are other humans who are straying as well" Darren thought. "But stay still. I can't keep living peacefully if I think so. I have to try to figure out a way to avoid it."

Actually, how strong was the seventh Demon King?" Darren turned towards Tomatsu.

"You've seen Succubus. Then the power can be said to be many tens of times more powerful," replied Tomatsu. "Don't even think about fighting it."

Darren immediately sweated hearing that. If this is the case, he has no choice but to run away or hide for as long as possible.

"But, Tomatsu..." Darren said slowly. "Why did you tell me all this?"

Tomatsu raised his head and looked at Darren.

"You still have a promise to help me catch the culprit for the destruction of my kingdom, right?" The reply. "Don't let me die before I make that promise."

Darren smiled a little. Either he should be happy or not hear it.

"yeah. I don't think I still have Tomatsu by my side, maybe not for long."

Tomatsu got up from the bed and walked closer to Darren. He looked at Darren with confidence.

"You have to run" he said suddenly.

"Eh?" Darren surprised.

Tomatsu then walked to the door. "The Succubus may have told your whereabouts to his Master. We have to go or this town might be the place to fight tomorrow."

He walked out while waving his hand.

"Quick sleep. Tomorrow we have to pack up and leave."

Darren only saw Tomatsu walking back to his room. He felt a little calm after learning that Tomatsu was trying to protect him.

"I have to go tomorrow" he murmured. "I don't want to let this town get into my trouble."

After that Darren went to sleep.
