Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
The Lion is entangled

"Ugh, where am I?" Darren opened his eyes.

As soon as he looked around, he was immediately greeted by someone familiar to his memory.

"You're finally up, too" said Michael, sitting in a small chair.

As soon as he saw Michael in front of him, Darren immediately spontaneously tried to attack him. But by the time he woke up, his hands and feet had been tied by chains that towered into every corner of the room.

"Fire Ball!" Darren cast his spell. Attacking Michael from a distance.

However, the fireball that should have appeared on his palm did not even form. What was there, his hand suddenly even burned.

Darren surprised.

"That's futile. Any magic you cast will only come back to you" Michael said as he moved from his chair. "The "chain was made of the same material as the slave necklace. With a little modification, we can make good restraint weapons for dangerous criminals like you."

Darren immediately cast a water spell and extinguished the fire in his hand. He also gritted his teeth. "Damn."

Michael walked closer. He stared intently at Darren and intended to interrogate him.

"So, what's your plan to come here?" Michael began asking questions.

Darren answered briefly. "none. I just happened to be through here."

Michael laughed a little. But behind the laughter, he was really upset. And in an instant the look on his face changed.

Without further ado, he immediately clenched his hand and launched a punch at Darren's face.

Darren who could not move, could only resign without resisting. His hands and feet were tied and he could do nothing.

Several other blows began to be dealt. Even Michael kicked him sometimes.

"I know you didn't come here for no reason" Michael said as he continued to beat Darren. "I know you're not just trying to escape the kingdom. You must have some connection with the Demon King."

Darren was flinched.

Who is meant by Michael? It was true that he had come here to look for a True Demon King. But it seems that what Michael meant was someone else.

"What do you mean?" Darren tried to speak amidst the blows that kept raining down on his face.

"Not pretend not to know. You must have some connection with the Demon King. You must have asked him to destroy our kingdom and kill Taiji."

Darren immediately shouted in annoyance. His shout shocked Michael and stopped beating him.

"Listen to me first!" Darren Shouts. "I have nothing to do with it all. The Demon King who destroyed Europe, I don't know him at all."

Michael was irritated and was about to continue his punch. But Darren's next words made him stop completely.

"I was even chased by a Demon King. And I don't know what he wants from me" Darren added. "He's after me. And if he catches me, maybe the world will be in danger."

Michael put on a suspicious face. "You speak as if you care about the world. But you're just a criminal" Michael said. "You're nothing more than a jerk monster complicating our lives."

Darren bit his lips in annoyance. "This is what amazes me. Why do humans like you hate monsters so much? They also have a similar way of thinking to you."

"Don't equate humans with these lowly creatures. They were clearly in the lower caste. They don't deserve to live but be slaves."

Darren was irritated. "Currently, I am a little grateful for the destruction of Europe. You deserve that."

Hearing that made Michael grow angry. He again launched a punch and kick towards Darren's body.

"Michael, stop!" Someone came out the door. When I saw it it was good.

Behind him was a man with a slightly old face walking after him. His clothes were white and he was holding a shiny stick in his hand.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Michael immediately withdrew his hand and bowed to the man.

"What's up here?" Said the man while looking at the battered Darren. "Good, quickly treat the young man."

It's good to get to Darren and treat him. Michael stood before the man.

"Holy priest, I don't mean to act without orders. I just wanted to scavenge some information from him," Michael said respectfully.

"Then did you get the results?" Reply to the man.

Michael lowered. "T-No," he said softly in a stammering tone. He felt ashamed of himself.

"You know that the Demon Lord asked that this prisoner not be hurt?" Say Holy priest again. "We've been working hard to get him affected by Good magic so that he will cooperate with us. And your actions just now almost made us lose his trust."

Michael's down. "I'm sorry, holy priest."

"That's it. You just go. We're taking over from here."

Michael bowed respectfully and left the room. And mini just the three of them in the room.

The atmosphere felt quite gripping for Darren. The man called the Holy Priestess could do anything to her. And plus, Good is not on his side anymore.

Darren had read in the library about a holy priest who led an organization called the Eastern Holy Church.

And now he didn't expect that person to be in front of him. He also intends not to find trouble with her.

"I don't have much time for this. Though there is still much to do," said the holy priest, crossing his arms.

Darren just looked at him without even acknowledging anything.

The holy priest continued. "If it's not wrong, your name is Darren, right?" Her speech. "I don't actually have any business with rebel members like you. But, after hearing about you from Michael. I'm a little interested."

Darren retaliated. "Nothing special about me. Go and take care of your own business."

The priest smirked a little and then sat down on a chair.

"Is massacring an army common?" Said the Priest.

Darren looked at him cautiously.

"My name is Deus Benedictat" the pastor introduced himself casually. "Holy priest of the great Eastern Holy Church. I am the messenger of God to spread salvation and well-being. You must have heard of me, right?"

"What do you want?" Darren doesn't want to make small talk.

"Oohh, you're pretty serious, huh? All right, I'll get to the point right away" Deus replied. "You're the same as Good, right?"

Darren's eyes immediately glared. And beside him, Nice also looked confused.

"What do you mean 'sama'?" Darren tried to confirm Deus' ambiguous statement.

"You are from the same world. Have the same characteristics. And it has the same energy anomaly" Deus continued. "And amazingly, I'm quite surprised you could tell from the start."

Hearing that, Good directly looked towards Darren.

"Shema, is that true?" He asked with a slightly shocked face.

Darren returned a surprised Good look. He really wanted to say this a long time ago. But it seems that someone else has dismantled it first.

Slowly Darren nodded. "Yes. I'm from Indonesia."

Slowly, tears began to flow down Nice cheeks. His eyes were glazed over and his face looked extremely grateful.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Good trying to hold back her crying.

"Why are you crying?"

"How can I not cry? After all this time, I finally found out that I'm not alone in this world."

Darren lowered his face. "I'm sorry. I was thinking of telling you everything when this conflict was over. But I just realized that the end of this conflict is long."

Prok! Prok! Prok!

He then walked closer towards Darren and closer to his face.

"Your presence is a threat to this world. If a human like you is not watched and fell into the wrong hands, then this world could be in danger" Deus said seriously.

Darren gulped his saliva. "Then, what are you gonna do? Kill me to keep the world safe?"

"Ha. ha. ha. ha. of course not," Deus' serious expression changed. "I was just thinking of recruiting you to join the Holy Church."

"Huh?"

"Strong people like you can't be wasted. If it can be used as a weapon, why should it be looked at one eye?" Said Deus.

"What good is it that I'm joining you?" Ask Darren.

Deus immediately explained. "Just like Good, you are also the Outlander of this world. I can send you both back to your home world."

"But I'm dead, and sent here," Sahut Darren who spontaneously made Deus reflect.

"Have died? That's weird" Deus said as he touched Darren's body. But he soon returned to the main topic. "But anyway, it's not impossible to send you back to that point in time before everything happens."

Darren scrunched his face. Actually, the offer wasn't too bad.

If he could return to his world and start everything from scratch, then that would be the most beautiful life for Darren. He can make his parents proud and achieve something meaningful in his life.

And if possible, he could prevent Reno's accident from hitting his head. And he also does not need to be a hikikomori because of the trauma of it.

In short, his life will be much better.

"So, how?" Deus again persuaded Darren.

Darren closed his eyes. He has decided everything in his head. And all he needed to do was open his mouth to change his life's destiny.

"No. I refuse," Darren said with a confident face. "I don't want to join your organization."

"The choice is tep-Eh!?" Deus was surprised to hear that. "But why? Isn't living in this world a pain to you?"

Darren smiled slightly. "Indeed. I feel tormented myself. But I can't leave my family here" Darren said. "I accepted my death there. And of course my family too. Now, I've built my own family, and I don't want to let them down."

Good who was standing by Darren's side fell silent after hearing Darren's remark.

"Ezema, are you serious?" Good holding Darren's arm. "This is a once in your life opportunity."

Darren nodded. "It's my decision."

Deus looks disappointed to hear Darren's reply. "I didn't think you'd choose another answer" he said, turning around. "But you have to remember that you are a dangerous creature. And all dangerous creatures beyond the control of the Holy Church must be destroyed."

Darren was on standby. Though he knew that he could do nothing in the restraints of the chains that bound him.

"Are you going to kill me?" Darren asked Deus.

"No, not me" replied Deus. "The Demon King asked to capture you alive. So he can execute you directly."

After saying that, Deus left the room followed by Bagus who followed him.

"Goodbye, Esema," said Good as he walked through the door.

Meanwhile, at the rebel base...

They had managed to lock Marvin in a rampage inside the prison. It took a lot of energy to lock up that big ogre.

Meanwhile, Rosemary is being held in a special room under guard. Although Rosemary was calm and detached from the influence of magic, but she was still closely monitored.

Post-combat damage in the cafeteria left the entire room in ruins. Many parts of the room were destroyed and damaged.

Now improvements are being undertaken and hope in the future similar events do not occur again.

Samson had ordered some of his trusted men to survey everyone at the rebel headquarters. He wanted to make sure no one else was affected by the false memories.

Tora, Shiro, and Hain were among the people Samson trusted. Under Dyland's supervision, they conducted a survey of the entire base.

"Almost everyone has been made sure it's safe" Hain said as he walked down the aisle with friends.

"Yes. Hopefully there is no commotion that can make a cafeteria damaged again" replied Tora.

"If there's any more commotion, we can definitely prevent it this time," Shiro said confidently.

"It is true that you are strong, but do not let your guard down" said Dyland. He stopped walking and everyone looked at him.

"I have to admit, that you two are great people. Although you are only newcomers, you have contributed greatly to this organization" Dyland continued. "You have helped me too. I'd personally like to thank you both."

Shiro bowed his body. "It's no problem, Dyland-san. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, too."

Tora. "Yes. I also did it because I wanted to."

Dyland smiled seeing their response.

"Uwooh, Dyland smiled!" Hain instantly broke the atmosphere. "It's a rare thing."

"Well, really? Then we're very lucky" replied Tora.

Hain and the others immediately laughed cheerfully, while Dyland smiled as he shook his head at their behavior. It was an exciting day for him, regardless of what had just happened.

"It looks like we should get back to work soon" Shiro said.

"Yes, right. We haven't reported back to Samson, yet" Sahut Hain.

Just as they were about to walk, suddenly someone came running towards them from the end of the hall.

Dyland narrowed his eyes. From a distance, he could recognize who it was.

"Claras?" Dyland was surprised.

Hain and the others immediately turned their heads. But they didn't see Darren and Good with him.

"Clara-san is? But, where's Nice and Esema?" Hain said.

As soon as Clara got to them, Dyland immediately asked what had happened.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Ask Dyland. "Where's Good and what's Esema?"

Clara replied with a breath. "Ezema, caught."

Everyone there was surprised. Especially Tora and Shiro.

"caught? How come?" Shiro said loudly, but was immediately pacified by Tora.

Dyland continued his question. "Then, where's Good?"

Clara looked at them all seriously.

"Good.is the traitor."
