Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
Getting Farther

Darren runs down the main street of the city, towards the clothes shop that Sella and Selly mentioned earlier. Shiro and Tomatsu followed him from behind, and they kept a close eye on the surroundings from any danger that might come.

They finally arrived in front of the clothes shop. Darren immediately asked Tomatsu for the condition.

"Tomatsu, can you feel Tora's aura here?"

Tomatsu answered. "I can feel it. It's a little vague, but I'm sure he's through here."

They continued their search until they were close enough and could see a huge building standing in the distance.

The building is so magnificent. The outside of the walls was shiny and some parts were built in gold. At a glance, Darren could immediately guess that it was the place they were headed to.

"It's definitely there!" Darren pointed towards the castle. "Everything hurry up!"

"So you're Accel, the European sorcerer?" The King of Vertrag, Lionne, asked questions while crossing his legs on the throne.

Accel and Tora bowed respectfully while Accel replied, "Yes, what a noble one."

Lionne somewhat showed a doubtful face. He had no news that a messenger from Europe had come to him. Even his own king told him nothing.

"I'm actually kind of surprised to see you here" Lionne said. "Axel didn't tell me about your arrival. Is there any sudden business?"

Accel nodded. "That's right, my lord."

Finally Lionne started listening. "Then, what's the problem?"

Accel began to rise from his bent position and began to open his mouth. "I got word that the fugitive was here."

Lionne's eyes immediately widened. "A-What!? How come?"

Accel forward. "I've investigated his whereabouts. According to the data I've collected, I'm pretty sure he's in town."

Accel then shows Tora. "This young man beside me is a former victim of that criminal."

Tora's face frowned slightly upon hearing that. To be honest, he himself felt no victim. He was just afraid of Darren and didn't want to see him again.

"really?" Lionne said doubtfully.

Tora nodded politely. "Yes. I was his former slave, and I ran away."

Lionne folded her hands and her eyes closed. It was unexpected for him to hear this news all of a sudden.

"We have to do something" Lionne said with tense hands and feet.

"That's why I'm here," Accel slowly advanced forward.

Lionne opened her eyes one by one and started looking at Accel seriously. "Do you have a plan?" His question. "He's a man who's killed an entire army by himself, a cheap plan will only lead us to defeat."

Accel smirked, even though he himself was irritated. "Don't underestimate me. I know a plan to kill him."

"Oh yeah?"

Accel then pointed at Tora. "This young man is willing to be the bait and lead him to us."

"Then?"

"After he ate the bait, we just have to wait in one designated place and ambush him a lot."

Lionne took a breath and exhaled it. He thought this plan was too simple.

"Are you sure?" His question. "I told you he was a strong man. Capitalize the crowd alone can not secure our victory."

Accel forward. "I'm not done yet" he said. "Where we ambush him later, we must prepare a trap that can make him paralyzed."

"A hundred witches should be enough. We can use Cancelling spells continuously on him and he won't be able to cast his magic."

"Then we can shower him with arrows until he breathes his last."

Lionne nodded in disagreement. "You mean, I have to deploy all my troops?"

"Did the Europeans not send their own troops to participate?" He nodded with annoyance. "I don't want all losses to be borne by Vertrag. Erobernesians also have to take risks to catch their own fugitives!"

Accel grinned. "I've had enough myself" he said arrogantly. He did not want Lionne to know that actually the King of Erobernesia had nothing to do with this.

As we know, Accel lost his entire army when he was about to capture Darren. Since then, he has no face to return to Europe empty-handed.

He finally decides to hunt Darren down alone. He searches for any information related to Darren and starts following him since they left Friedlich.

Now he was getting closer to his goal, which was to bring Darren's head in a silver platter and hand it to Axel, the King of Erobernesia.

Although the King initially ordered Darren to be arrested, Accel could reason that Darren fought back during the capture and ultimately had no choice but to kill him. Though he only had a grudge against Darren so he intended to kill him.

Accel is back to his word. "The King of Europe has kindly sent me to tell you about this. But you're asking for more" Accel continued. "Maybe I better go and let this country crumble at the hands of that criminal."

With weight he finally agreed. "Fuh... Alright." He said while bowing his head.

Accel returned to grinning. Everything went according to plan.

"good. Now all I need is a hundred witches and three hundred archers" Accel said. "We will ambush him at the city gate to reduce the damage if the battle takes place. All sorcerers should be able to hide themselves with Sneak spells, and prepare without the enemy knowing. Archers can hide behind trees, shrubs, or even over walls for better precision. Anyway hide yourself as best you can with a safe distance between the target and yourself."

Lionne then cuts Accel's sentence. "Then, are you going to bring the body back to Europe?"

"That's right," replied Accel. "I must report to the King that the threat of the land-No, the threat of this world has been destroyed."

After the meeting, Tora and Accel were moved to a special guest room.

"Tora-kun," Shouted Accel while crossing his legs on the sofa. He then reached into his pocket and threw some gold coins on the table. "I thirst. Please buy me a drink."

"But, Accel-sama, in the castle there's a servant who can-" Before Tora finished her talk, Accel cut in right away.

"I heard the city has the most famous wine brand. I want that wine" he said.

Tora just looked at him with an annoyed look. It could be that the royal higher-ups seemed to behave like that.

"Hey, you heard no!?" Accel shouted after seeing Tora speechless for a few seconds.

"Y-Yes, sorry Accel-sama." Tora took the money and walked out.

Long story short, Tora had already obtained the wine that Accel had requested. Now he just needs to come back as soon as possible and hand this thing over.

"Hmph. He could have bought wine this afternoon. These were rare grapes, "Gerrutu Tora while casting his gaze far towards the crowd.

"Huh?" Tora suddenly saw something familiar. He narrowed his eyes and looked seriously. "It's not that..."

Three people were walking together towards him. A young man with two women beside him. Plus, one of the women started pointing at him.

"That's Tora-kun!" His voice was quite audible until it reached Tora's ears.

As soon as they got closer, how shocked Tora was. He was so shocked that he limp and almost took his grip off the wine bottle.

"That's them. It was Darren and his friends, "Tora's eyes couldn't stop glaring. "It's urgent. They've seen me. I don't have any other choice."

Tora immediately threw away the bottle in her hand and was about to cast a spell. But suddenly he was trembling. His hands were stiff and his heart was doubtful.

"Why this? Do I hesitate to attack Darren?" His mind panicked. "No-I was just afraid that I would lose to him. I will definitely kill him. What am I supposed to do? I didn't think they'd find me this fast."

"Non-Elemental Spell: Spe-" Before Tora cast her spell, she didn't realize Darren was in front of her. He was surprised and was about to hit her away, but something else suddenly happened.

Grabbs!!! Darren hugged Tora gently. Tora's face immediately changed as if she could not believe what was happening.

While Shiro and Tomatsu stood beside him while smiling haru.

"Tora, where have you been? I'm worried about you, you know" whispered Darren in his ear. "If you want to go tell me first dong."

Tora was still shocked by what had just happened. Darren started to take off his embrace and Shiro came forward towards him with something in his hand.

"Tora-kun, don't lose this again, yes," He thrust out a small wooden doll that he threw away a few days ago.

Tora's hand moved on its own to pick it up. He stared at the doll and some tears began to drip without realizing it.

"It's a good thing we understand your cue. If we don't find the doll, we won't be able to find you" Tomatsu said. "Esema-kun was even so adamant about looking for you. He was very worried."

Tora glanced at Darren. "really? Until how big?" Mumbled.

Darren then pulled Tora's arm. "Tora, let's go home" Darren said.

Tora looked at him with a look. He didn't understand what Darren was thinking. Is this a trap? But all this doesn't feel like a trap. This kind of warmth he had not felt for a long time, but he knew that the person before him was still a fugitive. He is confused as to what to do.

"No, Esema-sama," replied Tora.

"no? Whatchu mean?"

Tora took off Darren's hand. "There's actually a place I want to go first."

"Eh..." Darren Sahut. "When you can be caught by them. But why?"

Tora answered. "It's very important to me."

Darren is initially astonished, but eventually thinks that the place Tora is headed may have something to do with his past. Well, who can forbid people to reminisce?

"alright. But I'll come along, to make sure you're safe" Darren said.

Tora nodded while smiling slightly. "good. In this case, the arrest could be faster," he said inwardly. "I'll go to the castle and tell them. Then this plan will definitely work."
