I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World… - Chapter 71 - Everchanging Class

Happy with what had happened with Scarlet, Logan went back to the class’s inn. Unlike the previous time when he saw many couples around, this time he felt that some were saying their farewells, as silence and sadness permeated the area.

They did not notice his presence this time and focused on their own problems. Some were crying, some fighting, and others still hugging each other.

He kept walking, trying to avoid those who might cause him problems. He noticed that today they were as merry as ever.

The kids were near the entrance, talking amongst their groupies. Logan decided to take the long way around; he would need to go through the back door where the maids usually entered. He didn’t want to deal with their antics and ruin his mood.

As he passed through the back, he noticed that the maids were also packing. Some whispered that the journey south would be long and that they didn’t know what they were going to do.

Through the kitchen area, he saw that the chefs were clearing out the food, placing most of it in storage containers and leaving the place spotless.

It had only been a few days, but their new home was going to be empty.

As he headed towards the dining area, he saw the one person he had neglected to communicate with—his teacher, Ms. Claire, who was busy with paperwork.

“Hi there, Ms. Claire…” Logan sat in front of her, taking one of the sheets of paper to see what she was writing.

It showed a detailed description of a particular classmate, including his strengths and weaknesses, his skills, and his growth as he leveled up.

“You know, that’s classified information. I only got it so that I can help them when we fight using my class as Orator. You should put it back, Sir Logan, hero who doesn’t show.” Ms. Claire then placed all the documents down with care.

“So tell me, great hero, what have you been up to?” she said, looking a bit better than before. She appeared well-rested and less worried about those she couldn’t control.

“As you might have guessed, I was sent to my newly given land. You should know it was basically ordered for me to go there,” Logan began to tell her.

“Before you continue…” the teacher took the same device the earl used to create a barrier of sound.

“Now, let’s speak, Logan. I know what they are doing. You should be careful. I can’t stop this from happening, but they will probably use you as a scapegoat to attract attention away from us who are going south,” she began to explain.

“I thought about it as well. They tried to place me as an important asset; my feats were not as significant as they made them out to be… but don’t worry about me, Ms. Claire. With my beast and two knights, I think I will be safe,” Logan replied.

“So tell me, what is your plan? I want to at least know you will be safe by yourself. I now know that everyone decided to do their own thing, and as a teacher, I have given up on controlling your lives. I will only help those who want to return safely and try to keep everyone together,” she said, trying to keep herself composed.

“Ms. Claire, I might not be there with you all, but I will be with you when you need me. Until then, I will get stronger. I won’t just be sitting idly; I will be training my beasts. Recently, I even got a raptor. I’ll try to show it to you tomorrow—maybe you’ll have more confidence in my abilities,” Logan commented, trying to assure his teacher.

“Well, I hope it’s better than Brian’s white horse. I swear they bought it only for looks. I, myself, ordered one of those large birds from the stables. It’s faster than any other, and I named it Gale…” Ms. Claire smiled, one of the first smiles Logan had seen from her since arriving.

“You know, I can tame that bird, use one of my abilities, and it will get stronger. It will eventually evolve into something helpful. My small lizard turned into a raptor, so I know your bird will help you in any fight or difficult situation.” Logan thought about helping one of the few people he cared for or who meant anything to him in the class.

“That would help me, Logan. I will introduce it to you tomorrow before we leave. Well then, I think I will retire for the night. Young man, make sure you don’t stay up too late. We may have medicine to help our bodies, but our minds still need to rest.” Ms. Claire picked up her papers, and Logan helped her with some before she left the dining room.

Logan waited a few seconds, reflecting on what had been said.

After he was sure his teacher had left, he took out a device—a communication tool that would allow him to speak with others.

He began trying to contact Lisa.

She took a few seconds to pick up, and Logan imagined that, like him, she did not have much experience with the device.

[Logan, I wonder who would be calling. I only have you and Alma to talk to, and I am…]

[Taking a bath… you know you could have ignored it,] Logan said in shock, staring at the water in front of him and the bathroom.

[I could have, yes, but I am almost done. Let’s talk in your room like last time,] the girl said before the call was cut off.

The boy opened his eyes; he didn’t get the chance to see much, but he did notice feet under the water.

Well, I guess she could still have worn her storage ring in the shower, he thought, wondering why she would answer him in such a state.

Inside the girls’ bath, Lisa placed her device back into her storage ring.

She was equally as shocked, thinking her friend Alma had called her. Alma had gone out with a boy, and Lisa thought she was trying to call for help.

Alma always found herself in dangerous situations. She loved risks and even dated a pair of brothers once, causing both to fight for her attention after discovering they were dating the same girl.

She was lousy as a person but a great best friend who had always been there for her. She reminded Lisa of a boy she knew when she was a child—a boy who loved excitement, quite different from the person he is today.

Lisa then thought back to the call.

She couldn’t see Logan’s face but knew he had been shaken by seeing the girls’ bathroom she was in.

Luckily, the device did not show the other person their face unless they looked at a mirror; it only showed them a perspective, and she made sure he didn’t see her body.
