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

Logan could only attempt to tame the scorpion by letting a drop drip towards the creature. He tried with one drop first, yet the feisty creature ignored his call. He tried again, and once more, the scorpion did not respond to his plea to be his creature.

"Well, this one has some spunk to it…" Logan called out while wondering what he should try next. The normal approach would be to toss some fire stones to settle the creature down before taming, but he felt with this particular scorpion, it wouldn't work.

Logan could only think of using ice or water magic just enough to spook the scorpion. He used Riptide's Tundra Roar, a skill that would likely scare it without harming the creature. To minimize the damage, he essentially just said "roar" with power imbued into the word.

He saw how the scorpion shivered from the cold and looked for cover. Taking advantage of the moment, he used a little more of his blood. This time, with the creature being so scared, it just accepted it.

"Very cold… need warmth..." Hearing its voice, Logan tossed in a few small fire gems. The scorpion settled and began feeding on them. Logan knew it would not instantly evolve like the others, so he just added more firestones while waiting for Earl Victor to introduce the next monster.

"Well, with that done… how about I show you this next creature? It's a particular one I wanted to see how it would react to your power. As with the others, I only brought the most rare creatures…" Earl Victor presented Logan with a monkey. It looked like one of those small monkeys that would be in hot springs in Japan, only that it had a bald head and grey fur except for its face.

"A monkey?" Logan asked, wondering why it was special.

"Well… about that, I think not even its species has this kind of power. It uses light magic in a strange way. It's more like a mental power instead of magic—it can levitate items…" Earl Victor said while rubbing his chin as if pondering.

"A type of psychic power?" Logan mumbled as the others looked at him.

"What does that mean?" the earl asked, wondering if it was a magic from Logan's world.

"It's a power we know of in our world but aren't sure if it's real. As you say, it moves things by thought," Logan tried to explain.

"Well… I think that might work. We mainly base magic on the seven elements, but I've heard there are a few more out there… just not really studied yet." The earl pondered about those elements that were not part of the original seven, such as shade and blood magic, both of which are used by vampires before speaking again. "Well, how about we start the process? I want to see how this will turn out."

Logan saw that the beast seemed to be in deep meditation. It did not react to their presence until he got closer to it. After being just a few steps away, the monkey looked deep into Logan's eyes and nodded.@@novelbin@@

Logan then felt the blood he was going to use leave his finger. The few drops were pulled in by the monkey, who used his powers to attract it onto himself.

"Fascinating…" Earl Victor said as he watched the process.

As soon as he felt the connection, Logan jolted at the way the monkey called him.

"Greetings, new master… it's finally great to be liberated. I hope we will make a great team," the monkey said, raising a hand towards Logan as if wanting to shake hands.

Logan was about to shake its hand when the monkey shook his head.

"Where are my crystals? I saw how that scorpion got his. I should also be getting mine, right?" the monkey said pleadingly.

"Right…" Logan felt a bit foolish for expecting a monster to want to shake hands. He took a few lower grade light stones since he had given the best to Lisa earlier.

The ape used his magic again to pull in the magic stones as he was released from his cage. He did not try to get out, as he was busy absorbing the mana from each stone.

"That feels good. I hope you can give me more…" the monkey said expectantly while extending his hand.

"Not right now. I will have more soon, so be patient," Logan replied. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"Very well, I will go find something interesting to do meanwhile…" The monkey finally got up from its position of meditation, got out of the cage, climbed on top of a tree, and sat back down as it was.

Logan felt the way things turned out with the creature was strange. Even those around him who saw the interaction felt it was weird as they just stared at the small monkey basking in the sun while meditating, its bald head reflecting the sun without worries.

"Well, I guess… we can go on with the last one. It's a small tortoise. I thought hard about what you might need, and so this little one will probably be your best defensive tank. It's just a child of its kind, so I think we should all try backing off a little in case it grows fast," Earl Victor said, presenting the twenty-centimeter-long beast who looked up at Logan slowly.

Logan admired the gem filled shell with various colors and its polished onyx underbelly. Its skin was a dark shade of brown, and except for these unique features, it looked like a normal tortoise one might buy from a pet store.

"Well, here goes…" Logan placed a drop of blood on the back of its neck, probably the safest part the tortoise body and the one it would keep protected.

"About its element, it's sort of strange. It's earth elemental, but it concentrates its power on minerals and metals rather than just plain earth."

Logan took out most of the earth crystals he had and began giving them to the creature he thought would be necessary for the battle ahead. The tortoise began to drain the mana as if it hadn't eaten in days. The twenty stones Logan gave it were quickly drained before it began to glow.
