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

Riding alone through the snow-covered road, Logan took the time to enjoy his land.

The heat Scorch produced was enough to keep him warm.

Even Zephyr, who roamed the cold skies, took the time to rest on its back.

[So what do you guys think, do we have a good land or what?] Logan asked, wondering what his beasts thought.

[Bad, cold, no food,] Zephyr whined.

He had only managed to catch a small rodent, which did not fill his stomach.

[Cold, waste heat, hungry,] Scorch replied, and Logan knew where this was going.

[Cold, no stones...] his new mole chimed in. Unlike the others, the mole only cared about rocks to eat.

[Alright, alright, let's hurry. I am also starving. I hope this freezing weather ends soon...]

Feeling a strong current that even Scorch could not block, they rushed back to the estate. It was less than a kilometer, but with Scorch's speed, it was quick in sight.

He noticed Rubina was waiting near the entrance alone. He found it strange but knew she had news for him if she took the time to wait for him there.

"Rubina, you shouldn't be outside. Why didn't you wait for me in the house?" Logan asked as he got close enough to speak to her.

"Hurry up, we need to get these new beasts settled. I know you want to see them," she yelled back, trying to speak over the sound of the strong wind.

Logan commanded Scorch to pull up next to the girl and helped her up behind him to speed things up.

The entrance was at least forty meters from the barn, where he imagined the new beasts were placed.

"Thanks, Logan. With Scorch here, I think we won't even need a coat in this cold weather," she laughed as she held on to his waist while sitting behind him.

"You're right, I feel like I'm sweating already… good thing with Scorch it will only take… I didn't even get to finish," Logan replied as Scorch took two great leaps.

[Sick, need get down,] he heard his mole say from the back, where it was made to hold the start of Scorch's long tail.

"Sorry about that. Please help our new buddy Digger, Kryst…" Logan had to almost drag the greater slime who did not want to leave his embrace to heal the earth mole in the cold windy night.

"I guess that's your new beast, but… isn't he a little small for, you know," Rubina questioned as she waited for Logan to finish.

"Oh, he is just one of two. The other beast was way too large to bring. He's a Tunnel Burrower, the biggest of its kind... I wouldn't know how to feed it if I brought it here," Logan explained.

"That is perfect, just as I imagined. I just didn't think you would go for one of those... just please don't show it to me yet, as you know..." Rubina shivered before finishing her sentence.

"I know you hate insects or any creature that resembles them, ha," Logan said, returning Kryst back to its place and placing the Mole next to the barn. The Mole didn't care to go inside and started making a hole to hide itself from the cold.

"Guess it didn't need the shelter... Now then, please tell me what we have, Rubina." Logan opened the barn's door to let Scorch in. As his raptor entered, he saw various creatures already resting, some in hay, including his master's bison.

Others were kept in partitions, resembling chickens, roosters, and ducks. There was even a type of bird that resembled a turkey, but with more colorful feathers.

"Well, as you can see, we received quite a good variety of beasts. As for the ones you need to worry about taming, it's only the Dustfoot Horse and Starhoof Cattle. We got two of the former and four of the latter. As for the Silkmane Sheep, they can wait. I would suggest you tame... two Dustfoot, the Starhoof Bull, and at least one Silkmane Sheep to test," Rubina pointed out the animals as she named them.

The large work horses looked sturdy and were placed within a wall between the bison and the cattle. Logan noticed the interior of the barn had to be extended to fit all the animals.

Taking out his trusted dagger to cut his finger, he began with the two large animals as pointed out. They accepted the bond, neighing only when he first got close.

The other creatures made a ruckus that ended when Logan finished with the Silkmane Sheep, whose wool felt like cotton candy.

"You know… that is premium quality material. I can't wait to see what it will evolve into and how its wool will improve!" Rubina said while hugging another sheep, which was busy eating hay.

"That will take a while, as they don't look like they would put up much of a fight. But… yes, I also wonder what they would evolve into. For now, my head is hurting just thinking about what to name them. I already have the huge worm's name to think about, and I didn't even name the trees… What will happen when I have to name hundreds or thousands of creatures," Logan scratched his head in agitation while considering using numbers to help speed things up.

"It's not like you have to name each one, right? I'm sure the workers and others will help us... You also won't be seeing these creatures with your busy schedule," Rubina reminded him as they wrapped things up.

"True. Now let's go. I'm starving and feel sort of dizzy from not having enough calories," Logan said, while Rubina tried to guess what the last word meant.

"It's like mana... that our body uses to produce energy..." Logan tried to explain as he hurried the girl, who still looked confused, by pulling her arm.

"Okay, forget it, let's go!" Rubina smiled deviously as she pulled her arm up, making Logan's hand hold onto hers, and dragged him away before he had a chance to react.

"Wait, let me!" Logan tried to tell her about the barn's door, but a nearby soldier already rushed to close it, waving to the two teenagers with a smile.
