I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 196: Preparations

Logan looked at the map in front of him, trying to make a plan. He needed to visit a total of six areas, including the mountain near the temple of light to possibly find a powerful creature of this element.

"Well then, I will need to head north to find the Frost Wyverns first. I want to give these enough time to train as we travel to find the other creatures. They will probably be the best to tame and easiest since I can work with the Kingdom of Veridith to get them," Logan nodded as he could imagine riding a large, powerful frost dragon.

"Sounds like a good plan, Logan." Leonard, his advisor, agreed, as did everyone in the room.

"How long will it take to reach where I need to be?" Logan asked, looking at the map.

"Well, I can probably say with the speed you reached Midar, it will be no more than five days. That is if we get permission to travel over their lands without problems, so add in two days so you can comfortably reach the capital Mevesza without problems," Leonard added, pointing to small cities where he could rest as he went north. The capital was in the highest part near the sea.

"So a week of flying… I might need to take two mounts to alternate and not have Zephyr get tired," Logan nodded while coming up with a plan. "Who will go with me will be the next problem… We only have so many mounts and to keep them rested, they will need to be two per person. Not many can ride eagles also due to their carrying capacity." Logan had placed lightweight riders for the eagles, hoping they would evolve soon to solve this problem.

He then looked around the room to check who wanted to volunteer for the long journey. Lisa raised her hand first. Logan smiled at the gesture and nodded while looking around the room. He saw one hand raise beside him; it was Rubina, who glared at Lisa before speaking.

"I will go; you will need someone who knows a little about the politics to smoothen the deal," Rubina added, trying to add value to her participation.

"No problem, I was going to ask you to join." Logan consented, looking at the next hand that went up.

"I doubt you need firepower, being one of the strongest in this world possible, but another warrior wouldn’t hurt," Kai stepped forward.

"You weren’t going to stay… here?" Logan asked.

"I am your knight before anything else, Logan. I need to worry about the coming future before I can plan for what happens for the rest of my life… and, well, I want a flying mount. Maybe I will be a great frost knight warrior, able to compete even with the Elites of Veridith." Kai joked, giving away the real reason he wanted to join.

"Yeah, yeah, I was going to ask one for each of you two. Not only do you need a mount, but also one you can be on while wearing heavy armor," Logan said, looking around to see that no one else asked to join.

"I will stay this one out. I need to train within the city. Remember, I need to be near a crowd to gain experience," Alma said, looking a little sad about the separation.

"Well then, we will be heading out tomorrow early. Make sure you speak with who you need to in Veridith so we can plan things, Leonard." Logan said, standing up. He needed to go collect crystals to make it less stressful for the birds during the coming long flight.

He needed to go to the volcano and meet up with Serana, who wasn’t present at the meeting. He did not want to leave without asking her if she wanted to join.

Logan left after telling everyone his plans for the afternoon. He needed to be back for dinner and the meeting after to know if he would leave for Veridith the next day.

He quickly went out and used his wings before climbing on Zephyr to fly to the volcano. His bird was becoming fast and used to his weight, but Logan knew that his bird needed time later to train instead of being his taxi all the time. He hoped that with the dragon, he would be able to interchange with the two to give them the time they needed to train.

Scorch, on the other hand, was already his strongest beast by a landslide. His pack of raptors was deadly and trained each day with knights to make the most feared cavalry unit. When Logan was not on top of him commanding his troops for practice, Valor used the spot to direct the raptors. Somehow, Earl Rosenguard was able to bring more Scorchwyrms and now increase the pack number to fifteen, while Scorch personally got his mate near his level. Now, two large carnivores reigned over the battlefield.

It wasn’t long before Logan reached the volcano when he had contacted Serana. Logan was curious why over the volcano there was a large shadow that caused a section of the volcano to create a zone that looked as if night had descended even when the sun was overhead.

"Serana? I am just reaching the cave, are you the one causing the abnormality?" Logan asked, using his communicator.

"Don’t worry, we will end the drill soon. Wait for me, Logan." Serana strained herself to say through the link.

Logan noticed that not long after, the shadow compressed itself to look like a giant bat, about a hundred meters long. It flapped its wings, causing the air around the mountain to whirl as if there was a small hurricane. Logan then saw how the large bat separated into parts before entering the volcano.

After a few minutes, Serana’s form appeared behind Logan, hugging him from behind.

"I smell something different in you…" she whispered behind him as she tiptoed to take a bite out of his neck. She stopped a little earlier than usual. "Ugh, not the best taste. It’s as if something is missing, and this smell…"

Logan felt Serana pull up his shirt as she sniffed him.

"Logan… what did you do? It’s as if you wrestled Lisa for some reason. There is still the smell of her sweat on you…" Serana said, as if accusing him of trying to kill her friend.

Logan gave it some thought before asking Serana a question.

"Serana, what happens after a boy and girl kiss?" Logan went for the question that would probably give him what he needed to know.

"They… hug? Is that why you smell like Lisa?" Serana said, giving it more thought.

"Wait, who told you about kissing anyways?" Logan delved deeper into the mystery.

"Valeria, of course. She told me I could do it to you and see what happens before." Serana said, blushing a little.

"So she taught you about kissing but not what comes after…" Logan mumbled as the girl kept thinking.
