I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 300: Arcane Arbiter
Claire Park a woman of Asian descent, took her role as a teacher seriously, having worked tirelessly to reach her position at such a young age. Her aunt, the school principal, entrusted her with the responsibility, confident that despite her youth, she could handle any situation.
Yet, after just a few months in this world, the weight of her responsibilities made her feel as if her head might explode. The chaos unfolding among the children under her care was unbearable. At only twenty-four, she had devoted her life to earning this role—only to be thrust into a different world with a class that refused to listen to her. Isolated and powerless, she had watched students leave of their own accord, and now, three had died. The only solace she found was in Alma, the girl she had grown fond of over the past few days.
Before all of this, Claire had been entirely consumed by her studies, with little time to form connections. Under constant pressure from her parents to excel, she had grown weary of their expectations, though they had undeniably shaped her way of life.
The loss of her students left her feeling lost, but as she faced Logan, she knew he was offering her power—the power she needed, yet also feared. She understood all too well what Logan had done with Marie, Lisa, Alma, and Silvia. Those four girls, along with others, had become part of his bizarre harem.
Though she had no experience with love, being the bookworm that she was, she did know one thing—she was not about to become part of something as ridiculous as that.
But Claire couldn't continue like this—weak, dependent, relying on others just to survive. Even now, she was shamelessly living in her student's home, a vast castle with endless rooms, yet she remained dependent on him—not just for shelter, but for a sense of safety.
"What will this really do to me, Logan?" she asked, hoping the answer wouldn't be anything serious.
"Nothing," Logan assured her. "You saw why I did this to Freya. She still resents me in some way, so you don't have to worry about becoming like the other girls, she still has a choice in who to love or hate and such. There's also Kai and Chloe—I gave them this power too, and you don't see any problems with them, right?" His words were meant to reassure her, to make her believe the change wouldn't be as overwhelming as she feared.
"Yes… that's true," Claire murmured. "Fine, I'll accept the power you're offering."

Even as she spoke, her hand had already moved forward instinctively. As her palm made contact, a mark began to form. Startled, she pulled her hand back, staring at the small red imprint—alive, shifting—before settling into a distinct pattern at the center of her palm.
Claire felt her body heat up, an intense sensation that made her glow. She felt her bones crack and muscles stretch, as if her entire being was being remade. The transformation was overwhelming but brief, lasting only a few seconds.
As she regained her composure, she noticed her hair had grown rapidly, cascading down her back. Her vision, once strained from years of staring at computer screens and books, was now crystal clear.
"What happened to me?" Claire asked, inspecting her transformed body. Her gaze shifted to Logan, who was deliberately looking away.
"I think you need new clothes, Ms. Claire..." Logan muttered, trying to avoid staring at her chest, which had grown noticeably. Parts of her clothes had torn during the transformation, prompting him to retrieve a blanket from his dimensional ring.
Claire quickly wrapped herself in the blanket and fled the room, her face flushed with embarrassment. Logan coughed, choking slightly on his coffee as he tried to recover from the awkward moment but decided to look at her status screen while he tried suppressing his fit of coughing.

Just as he settled down, Alma entered the room, smirking as she approached him.
"What a view, huh?" Alma teased, a playful glint in her eyes while she sat down on his lap to hug him, taking the cup of coffee from his hands in the process and placing it on the table.
"I hope you're not getting any ideas, Logan. You still owe me a date, remember? Now go—Silvia, Freya, and that new kid are waiting for you at the table. You'll have to eat quickly."
She hugged him for a few seconds, She then pulled him in before pressing a swift, deliberate kiss to his lips.
After a few minutes, with a smirk, she pushed him out of the living room.
Logan barely had time to react before he found himself in front of the dining table, where the three awaited him. They ate quickly, knowing it was best to finish fast in case they were needed in the labyrinth.
Logan hurried through his meal, forcing himself to finish despite the ache in his stomach. The others had already eaten, their pace reflecting the urgency of their upcoming task.
"Alright, let's get this plan sorted," Logan began. "The hydra is at the heart of the volcano. Before we can even enter, we'll have to deal with the creatures guarding the outer perimeter. Once inside, our priority will be finding a way to weaken it. We've already seen how a spirit temple enhances creatures of its element, so we need to counteract that power. Riptide and Luna will be crucial in striking first, while Wyver should attempt an aerial entry if we can find an opening at the top of the volcano."
He recalled the scene from the previous night and how the massive volcano loomed, its dark form silhouetted against the night. Thick smoke billowed from its peak, stretching across the sky like a suffocating veil.
Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing the plan was only a starting point and would likely need adjustments based on the dangers ahead.
Within an hour, they had reached the outskirts of the volcano. They had brought raptors with them—fire-elemental creatures well-suited for the harsh terrain and unlikely to be hindered as much as others.
Emary, still inexperienced in battle, was assigned to stay with Wyver, who would protect everyone from the sky.
Logan climbed onto Luna, prepared to charge into the fight, while Freya chose to ride with Riptide, trusting the massive bear to shield her from harm.
Silvia mounted one of the raptors, keeping a safe distance behind the others so she could warn them of any impending danger.
