I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…

Thanks to Sereta, Emary's mother, Logan and Silvia were guided to the duke's personal teleportation array. There, Kalder kept many mages on standby, ready to assist whenever he needed to travel—either back to the castle or to the electrical plains. This time, however, Silvia infused her own magic into the array, enabling its use for their return to the Kingdom of Highrule.

The two heroes set out to retrieve Voltar, the electrical mantis, a creature perfectly suited to the dangerous electrical fields. As the duke had warned, any being not attuned to the element of electricity would likely perish under nature's wrath. Less than half an hour later, they returned to the teleportation array. Logan not only brought Voltar but also a collection of high-quality electrical stones, intended for taming the thunderbird he eagerly anticipated adding to his collection of tamed beasts. The prospect of acquiring such a remarkable creature made him shake in excitement.

Upon their arrival at the duke's mansion, everyone quickly stepped back as Logan entered. He had instructed them to clear the way, as his massive mantis would soon follow through the portal. Standing three meters long and two meters high, Voltar was an imposing predator. With deadly katana-like scythes over a meter in length and two compound eyes capable of detecting energy pulses, evading its sight was impossible.

Voltar was one of Logan's most formidable companions—a member of the elite seven creatures he commanded, each harnessing distinct elements and unique potentials.

The mantis, Voltar, also trained Logan's soldiers in the art of dual wielding weapons. His sword dance was both deadly and mesmerizing, captivating all who witnessed it and inspiring an immediate desire to learn. Graceful yet powerful, his movements elevated the swordsmanship of Logan's army by leaps and bounds, preparing them for the battles ahead. If only Logan could find more mantises to form a true unit of dual-wielding martial artists.

As Silvia returned to the mansion, the group of four—Logan with Kryst, Silvia, Emary, and Voltar—assembled, ready to step into the teleportation array crafted by the mages of the Kalder household. To ensure their safety, Logan cast Static Cloak over Silvia and himself. Emary glanced at him, puzzled by his ability to use skills beyond those of a traditional tamer, silently thinking about questioning him later.

The moment they arrived on the other side, they were greeted by Emary's uncle—his mother's brother and the very person who would aid them in navigating the treacherous thunderplains.

Logan surveyed the new camp, taking in the towering metal rods scattered across the area. These structures worked tirelessly to channel electricity away from the small town nestled nearby. The town itself, crafted with earth magic, was ingeniously designed to withstand the relentless fury of the electrical plains.

Though intrigued, Logan didn't linger on the details. A pair of peculiar earplugs was quickly handed to him, and following the advice given, he inserted them without hesitation. Moments later, the camp was struck by over ten thunderbolts in rapid succession, each targeting the towering rods. One of the rods glowed red-hot as the accumulating heat surged from the unrelenting strikes of lightning.

Watching the scene unfold, Logan fully grasped the duke's earlier warnings. Bringing other creatures to this hazardous environment, especially ones of Scorch's size, would have been the end of them in seconds.

Turning to the man entrusted with their journey through the field, Logan asked, "So, where do we go from here?"

"We will be heading out as a group of seven. I hope you're all ready," Raul began, his authoritative presence commanding attention. "I can already sense barriers on both of you, and Emary's natural defenses from his monster's blood make him impervious to the electricity. That means we're almost good to go. However, we'll need to change into the suits we use to traverse these fields. Once ready, we'll head west, following the trail of lightning rods. I must warn you—do not leave the trail. If you do, not even we can guarantee your safety."

Raul, who bore a striking resemblance to Emary's mother Sereta. Thirty-something years old, with dark violet hair and a handsome face, he radiated strength and reliability, which left Logan no room for doubt in his methods.

"Forgive my rudeness," Raul added, his tone softening slightly. "Let me introduce the team. I am Raul, and this is Adelin, Marco, and Livia. Please stay close to one of us—we can redirect lightning bolts if necessary. Your creature seems capable of handling itself here. Now gear up quickly; we need to depart before the next strong storm hits."

As Raul finished speaking, Adelin and Livia—both sharing the distinctive violet hair that marked everyone in this region—guided Silvia away, their friendly chatter quickly putting her at ease. Meanwhile, Raul approached Emary to engage him in conversation.

Logan hurriedly donned the suit—a tight, latex-like material designed to cling to the body. Though undeniably practical, he couldn't help but assess his appearance in it. Despite being accustomed to the constant presence of Kryst, his ever-loyal slime companion, clinging to him, the suit's constricting fit carried a distinct sense of suffocation that he couldn't quite get used to.

"Well, Kryst, try to stay near me at all times," Logan murmured to his slime, knowing it would rely heavily on the protection of his Static Cloak, far more than Logan himself, who had the suit's shielding.

Once out of the changing room, the group didn't waste a moment. Together, they embarked into the electrical fields, where brilliant streaks of lightning illuminated the plains, each strike finding its mark on the numerous towering rods scattered throughout the landscape.

[Logan… I think I'll leave you here. I'm considering a new method to enhance electrical crystals just by observing the towers,] Silvia communicated to him telepathically.

Logan, too, mulled over the potential of using the electricity to charge mana crystals as though they were batteries. These crystals were vital for his trains, which relied on that power. If he could discover a way to charge them more efficiently, it would enable him to expand his fleet.

[Sure thing. It'll be dangerous where we're headed, so stay safe,] Logan replied before turning to Raul to explain the situation.

Though Raul, the expedition leader, wasn't fond of dividing the team, he eventually agreed. Silvia, accompanied by Adelin and Livia, would inspect a nearby tower. Silvia brought her own collection of crystals, so all she needed was to devise a way to concentrate the lightning's energy into them effectively.
