I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 203: Test Run Pt.1
As Logan and his group were busy with their trip, within his city there was something huge happening as four heroes busied themselves on a great change.
Ruben, Marie, Bobby, and Silvia were busy working with crystals and a large metal box. With the help of Bobby and Ruben, they were able to craft what the box needed to look just like a train, while Marie and Silvia were busy working with crystals to make a motor of sorts.
"Good thing you could remember how a motor works," Ruben said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Well, it's not like I tried. It's just something that working with crystals helps me with. It sort of extracts my memories, even those I forgot. I really want to work to try extracting other people's memories, but that project will have to wait," Marie explained as they had an image of an electrical motor in front of them.
"Well, thanks to Logan's magic crystals, especially the fire and wind combo, we have a great fuel for the motor. With the electric and earth stones, we can harness the electricity and keep it contained within the mithril with the help from the earth mana. We just need the water and light elements to accept the metal as something it should cool and heal, and we will be able to keep it not only contained but also add self-repair functions," Silvia said while studying the motor and manipulating the different energies with precision.
"True… now help me finish the wheels. The Warks are already setting up the tracks. We just need it to circle around the city a few times to test it," Ruben said. Bobby built him a few molds using his earth magic while filling them with molten steel, just regular metals for the first test car.
"You know… I really wanted to make a car instead of a train, but the roads would need to be adjusted… sadly, we don't have the resources for that," Bobby said, a little sad.
"Yeah, I can already imagine myself just going back and forth from the gate to the mansion since that is the only usable road," Ruben huffed at the idea, especially when he created the gold bricks that adorned the road. They were no ordinary bricks but self-adjusting bricks that would create a golem if the town needed to defend itself.
Unlike the ones Logan had stationed around the city, the golem that would be created from the bricks was artificial. Using mana crystals and his own soul magic, it would let him join in the battle without having to be present. It was his best creation in the disguise of a road.
"There, we have finished… now to get this huge thing on the tracks… I bet Silis will be perfect for that… who wants to bring the huge snake, though? I am still a little scared of her," Bobby said, shivering. He did not go out much, so seeing huge monsters like the large stone snake still made him jittery.
"Relax, Bobby. It's one of Logan's best and smartest beasts. It won't attack anyone it doesn't deem an enemy, and you're far below its list of potential targets, like probably third from the bottom. Seriously… you need to work on a way to fight to finally feel like the rest of us," Ruben patted his friend's back while laughing.

"Bro, I can't believe it when you're the one saying it. How many battles have you partaken in? I heard you were underground when Logan, the weakest amongst us, was fighting the demons," Bobby returned the pats with a bit of force while fixing his glasses. Although he used to need them to see, now he uses them to appraise what he is building. They were given to him by Logan.
"Alright, alright, kids, stop fighting. Silvia already called Silis, she should be here in a few seconds…" Marie said, wondering where she should stand to avoid getting in the large serpent's way.
As soon as they felt the tremor, they all stood back as the large serpent emerged from below, its body cutting through the ground easily.
"Hey there, Silis, can you help us move this large steel box to the weird metal tracks right there?" Marie said, trying to keep it simple for the snake.
"Just speak to me with your link. I know what a train is. Just take this to the tracks, right?" Silis said using her mental communication.
"Yes, that. Sorry, Silis, I am not used to speaking to Logan's creatures…" Marie said, a little embarrassed.
"No problem. Now then, let me do this gently to not break anything," Silis said as the others watched.
Using her large tail to coil around the train, she lifted it as carefully as possible and placed it over the tracks. Silis knew she would have to help them, as Logan explained the situation to her and the Warks before leaving; she just didn't know when she would have to help.
"Alright, I think we are ready. Where is Silvia, though?" Bobby asked while still a little scared of Silis.
"She is with the Warks to check on the progress. She will be here soon," Marie said, watching the interaction between the Warks and Silvia using a crystal. She already had a surveillance network, making crime almost impossible in Logan's town.
They only had to wait a few minutes before Silvia warped back to them.
"There are no problems with the tracks. Everything is ready, and all the citizens were told to keep away from the tracks. They are actually excited about what will happen and are standing beside them to see the train go by as we run the first test," Silvia said while getting on the vehicle.
"Hey, I was supposed to be the driver!" Bobby rushed to join her.
"How about it, Irma and Wayana? Do you want to join us?" Ruben asked the two girls who would always follow him.
"Sure, I don't mind!" Wayana, the Wark girl, said while rushing forward into the cart.
"Is that thing safe though?" Irma asked a little hesitantly.
"No problem, we took safety into account. With Silvia there, she should be able to warp us out if anything goes wrong," Ruben said while pulling the girl inside the vehicle.
Marie decided to stay behind to watch how things go using her crystal. She would need to not only inspect the tracks but also monitor the various sensors she had placed to check temperature, speed, and such from the motor.
Ruben, who had boarded last, saw just how impressive Bobby had made the large cart. It was supposed to be only for the driver, but he made it big enough to keep a group of ten comfortable inside. There were two rows of seats and a pilot's seat that would be used to check the dials. The train had a sort of AI implemented into a crystal, so it didn't really need someone to maneuver it, but Ruben and Bobby added the choice if needed, just to have fun.
