Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
Dark Red Cloak

"Excellent!"

"Great, you beat up that brash adventurer!"

"Magic channeling. That adventurer must be great!"

Everyone cheered. Applause began to sound.

While the young man was still looking here and there. He tried to find the real culprit of the channeling magic.

Darren begins to feel that he will be found out. He finished his meal quickly and left the bar.

"I have to go" whispered Darren to Yuzuna.

"Eh? What was? Why do you look so rushed?" Ask Yuzuna.

"I have a sudden business" replied Darren. "And, thanks for the food."

Darren left the bar immediately. But...

"You're there!" The young man called him.

Darren was silent. He was confused to choose between responding to it or ignoring it.

"You were the one who used channeling magic earlier, right?" Said the young man.

Darrenpun. He looked at the young man and wondered how he knew.

"No. You're the wrong person" Sangkal Darren.

"Not to deny. I can feel his energy exactly the same as that released by your body" the young man said.

Darren remembered that some people in this world can be born with special talents. One of them is the talent of magic trackers.

"So so. You're the owner of the tracking talent" Darren said.

"So right, you're a channeling magic user" replied the young man.

He also approached Darren. "Why did you do that?" Ask.

Darren replies, "I hate people who like it so much."

"So so. Your reasons are understandable," said the young man. "Did you know, my name is Rolf. Silver-ranked adventurer."

"My name is Darren. Bronze-ranked adventurer, "Reply Darren.

"Bronze? No need to joke!" Rolf.

"I'm not kidding" Darren replied.

"Anyway, I thank you for helping me" Rolf said, bowing his head.

"No problem. I'm also actually annoyed at people like the adventurer just now" Darren replied.

Yuzuna is out. He sees Darren and Rolf as close friends.

"Darren-san!" Call Yuzuna. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine" said Darren.

"Oh, is he your friend?" Rolf pointed at Yuzuna.

"Yes, we just happened to cross paths" Darren replied.

"Hmmm..." Rolf shows a stupefied face. "Come, but you guys look like lovers." Ledek.

"Where is there!" Darren and Yuzuna deny in a compact manner.

"Seeing from how Yuzuna-san was worried about you earlier," Rolf said.

"Stop that," Yuzuna said as she blushed in embarrassment.

"Yes! Stop it, Rolf!" Darren. "You're embarrassing."

"Yes yes, sorry," Rolf said with a chuckle.

The three of them started talking in front of the bar.

"So where are you planning to go?" Rolf asked Darren.

"Oh, I'm confused too" Darren said, remembering that he has been alone ever since he came to this world.

"What about you, Yuzuna-san?" Connect Rolf.

"I want to go to the inn. I want to rest" he answered.

Darren remembered to rest. He had completely forgotten to rest from yesterday. But he didn't feel tired one bit. It was probably because he used meditation a lot.

"Yuzuna-san, if I may, can I come with you to the inn?" Ask Darren.

"Eh!? What are you thinking!?" Yuzuna Shouts.

"Ehh. anu. "I don't mean to be weird!"

Rolf who was standing there laughed at the conversation the two of them had.

"If that's all it can be" replied Yuzuna.

They went to the inn, followed by Rolf from behind. Rolf was actually just following along. He had booked a room at another inn.

Arriving there, Darren ordered a room. The rent is one silver coin a night.

Darren also got a room located at the end of the hallway, and next to Yuzuna's room.

"I didn't think we'd be next door" Yuzuna told Darren. "There are still many empty rooms."

"That's called destiny" Rolf said with a laugh.

"The fate of your head!" Yuzuna said furiously.

Darren entered his room. Turns out the room was big. There is a closet and a table. In the corner of the room there is also a fairly soft mattress.

After putting and tidying up his things in the room, Darren thought about changing his clothes. He had been wearing it for two whole days.

After all, he needs clothes that are not too flashy. So he decided to go to a clothing store.

"I know a clothing store near here" Rolf said. "His owner is my acquaintance."

"good. Maybe I should go there" Darren replied.

Arriving at the dress shop. Darren saw how many clothes were available. Starting from the long-sleeved ones, until there are also those who have robes.

"If you're a mage, then the robe will look good on you" said the shopkeeper.

Darren himself still has not determined the class he will be in. The choice is many, between being an assassin, fighter, tank, mage, marksman, or support.

"It actually looks like a moba game, anyway."

For a solo adventurer like him, Darren would probably often be faced with melee combat. So, the robe might only hinder his movement.

But, he was really tempted to buy that robe. He could imagine how cool he looked with a robe.

"Does that cloak have some kind of ability?" Ask Darren to make sure.

"The cloak is the cloak of the container" replied the shopkeeper. "If you're strong enough, then you can put a special skill on the robe using your magic."

"Oh! I've heard of it!" Yuzuna. "Many witches also use the cloak as a form of defense. They usually put up unique skills like immunity."

"Immunity?" Ask Darren.

"Immunity is a special item skill that makes it immune to some kind of magic attack," replied Rolf. "Like immunity to fire magic. And also some are resistant to non-elemental magic like withering and weakness."

Hearing that, Darren became interested. The robe might be really useful if he could make the most of it.

"But..." Say the store owner, "To put skills on an item, you need a very high mana. Even some gold-level adventurers down would not be able to."

"I bought it" Darren said. "How much?"

"Seven silver coins," replied the shopkeeper.

Gulp... Darren gulped. He knew that his money was not enough. Does he have to owe first?

"Here, take it," said Rolf as he thrust two silver coins.

"Eh.. for what?" Ask Darren.

"You want to buy it, don't you?" Answer Rolf. "Take this in return for helping me out at the bar."

Darren accepted it. With the money plus the money given by Rolf, then Darren can already buy the cloak container.

"Wow! Darren, you're so cool!" Rolf was amazed.

"Yes, right! You look like a mage!" Yuzuna.

Darren just smiled. He could also feel a hint of magic on the robe.

"Then, what skill will you put up?" Ask Rolf. "Do not arbitrarily install the skill, because installing it requires a lot of mana. You might faint if you carelessly do so."

"Hmm. maybe the immunity will be useful" Darren thought.

"That's great. You just need to flow magic according to the magic you want to fight. Like, for example, if you want immunity to fire, then you have to cast fire magic, "The shop owner explained.

Darren took off his robe and spread it out on the floor. He then placed his hands on the robe, and began to cast fire magic.

Suddenly a light came out of the robe. Signs that the skill installation has succeeded.

"Wow!" Yuzuna and Rolf said together.

"I'm becoming less and less convinced that you're a Bronze adventurer" Rolf said.

Darren thought of something.

"Can I put up more than one skill?" Ask Darren to the shop owner.

"could. The magic robe had no skill-setting limits, "The shopkeeper replied. "Only, each second installation will eat more mana than the first installation. And so on until the next installation."

Darren held his chin. He thought about what skills were suitable for the next install.

"Darren, you're not thinking of putting up any more skills, are you?" Rolf. "You can put up one skill only including great for Bronze adventurers."

"Yes, right," Yuzuna added, "If you force it, you could end up passing out!"

Without listening to them, Darren immediately placed his hand again on the robe. Yuzuna and Rolf were shocked.

"Darren, what are you doing!?" Shouted Rolf, while Yuzuna was already very panicked.

Darren also casts a non-elemental magic named Wither. Wither is one of the non-elemental magic that works like poison, but is more deadly. That magic can make everything decay and rot.

A bright light again illuminated the entire room. It makes everyone there panic.

Soon, the light was gone. The skill set has succeeded.

Darren felt his body start to limp. Their words are right. Doing the installation really drains a lot of mana.

"Darren-san, are you okay?" Yuzuna asked as soon as she saw Darren lying on the floor.

"Yes, I'm fine" Darren replied as he tried to sit down.

"I didn't expect you to be able to do two consecutive skill sets" Praised Rolf. "Are you really a Bronze adventurer?"

The shopkeeper who saw it was made an uncubby by Darren. He even said that maybe Darren should be a diamond-class adventurer.

Darren felt his strength was running out. Quickly, Yuzuna took out a potion and thrust it at Darren.

"Here, drink quickly" Yuzuna said. "It would be dangerous if one ran out of mana completely."

Considering he can do meditation, Darren also refused the potion given Yuzuna.

"Are you stupid!?" Yuzuna. "You could say you're dying. So don't play around!"

"That's it, I'm fine. Just save the potion," Darren said.

"No, you're not okay" said Rolf, who was observing Darren's body. "You're really out of mana. I can see it."

Darren smiled broadly. "Ah, I'm fine. I just need to fill up wherever I am."

Darren took his meditating position. He crossed his legs and formed the letter O with his fingers. Quickly, the lost mana had been replenished.

Rolf who was able to see which stream Darren was in, became shocked. He kept closing and opening his eyes, as if he could not believe what he saw.

"It's over" said Darren as he stood up.

"For what!?" Shouted Rolf. "You're refilling where you were that fast!?"

Yuzuna who saw Rolf's reaction was shocked. "Wait, has he really filled his mana?"

Rolf nodded. "I've never seen such a technique before" he said. "I now doubt that you are truly human."

"But filling up where that fast is impossible, right?" Yuzuna. "General, to fill mana, man must sleep for eight hours. Filling mana that fast was the skill of an undead!"

They both stared at Darren.

"I'm not an undead. I'm human" Darren said awkwardly.

"Where did you master that technique?" Yuzuna asked suspiciously.

"In my native place, it was a normal way to recharge and achieve self-soothing" Darren explained.

"Gosh, it turns out that the people in your area are really great, yeah," Rolf said. "I believe in Darren, because I don't see any lies in his flow."

"Wait, can you see the lie?" Yuzuna.

"Yup" answered Rolf.

Darren was wearing his dark red robe. He looks like a hero. After that, they left the store.

It's already night time. Rolf is separated from them because the inn is opposite to Darren and Yuzuna.

Now, Yuzuna and Darren were walking together.

"Where are you going?" Yuzuna asked to see Darren turning towards the exit of the city.

"I'll go to the forest" Darren replied casually.

"Huh? These nights?" Yuzuna. "Are you not tired?"

"If I'm tired, I just need to meditate" Darren said.

Darren intends to hunt monsters. In addition to increasing his level, the items he could also sell. At least, he could make this his temporary job.

Anyway, now is a good time. At night, monsters tend to be more active and will often appear. Also, many powerful monsters roamed around frequently. Defeating powerful monsters would make his level rise greatly.

"I'm coming!" Yuzuna said pleading.

"can't. It's dangerous" Darren said.

"If this is dangerous, take me! I might be able to help," Yuzuna said as she continued to plead.

Looks like Yuzuna is a stubborn person. There seems to be no other way to stop it.

Darren approaches Yuzuna. Darren then whispered beside his ear. "Sleep," Turns out it was a non-elemental magic spell that he learned.

Instantly, Yuzuna fell into a deep sleep. Darren immediately grabbed his body and carried it until he reached the inn.

In Yuzuna's room, Darren lays Yuzuna's body on the bed. Then he left her.

"Sorry if I'm being rude" Darren said as he walked out the door.
