Picking up Girls With My System

The power Arthur felt was something he had not felt before. It was akin to the time he first got his bloodline, which turned his weak body into something incredible!

Those attributes were insane, and now that Arthur was an Official Mage, all the spells he knew could be cast as 11 tier spells.

The reason for it was because of his essences. He could use them to buff his spells, and not everyone could do that. Arthur’s system played a huge role in helping him achieve the feat.

He moved around the island, getting used to his new empowered body. Signy and Helga watched everything, and could feel the power behind each action Arthur took.

“Kiddo, these two are cute. Maybe you could introduce me to them? But only if they were birds too…”

“Ikarus? Don’t tell me you can speak? My days of peace are over.”

“You are a lucky bastard. I will have to slumber after stopping the inheritance from killing you, but I will be back to haunt you!” Ikarus said.

“Well, you saved me and also gave me strength, so I will let you annoy me a few times.”

“I once carried the moon and now look where I am, trapped inside a teenager,” Ikarus murmured.

“What did you say?”

“I said you should get moving and get the inheritance before someone else does.”

“You’re right, you’re right.”

Arthur went toward Signy and Helga, grabbed them, and then flew away from the island, returning to the place where the inheritance was.

With his new attributes, Arthur was faster than ever before, returning to the underground area in no time. When he got there, the place was a mess!

The buildings which weren’t in an excellent state before were now destroyed. Arthur could hear the screams of those mages running away from the dragon.

“What is this feeling? Oh, I get it.”

When Arthur got there, the mysterious mummy person who was watching everything was not a secret to him anymore. Arthur could sense someone was watching him, and could also guess the location of that person, which was not that far from where he was.

Should he go kill that person first, or focus on the inheritance? After pondering for some time, Arthur went for the inheritance, as it was something that could vanish.

There were lots of people running around the underground area, so not that hard to find the skeleton dragon. It was also an immense creature, making it even easier.

The only ones that stayed in that area were dumb, or thought their strength was enough to go against the skeleton dragon.

When the mages finally collided with the dragon, they knew there was no chance of them winning, so most of them died, and the rest did their best to flee from that area.

Those three who were at the peak of the tenth circle could slow down the dragon, which allowed a higher number of mages to flee.

It was admirable. Arthur saw the trio merging their strengths, trying to win against the skeleton dragon, but it all proved to be useless.

Their attacks did not work, not even scratching the enemy.

“Laura, what can we do? Should we give up on the inheritance?” Kane said.

“I believe so. The inheritance is valuable, but our lives are more.”

The trio talked to each other and concluded they had to flee from the area. It was not worthy to lose their lives for the inheritance.

But when they tried to flee, the skeleton dragon roared, creating a barrier around them, locking everyone in the same place.

“Laura, we can’t break this barrier. What can we do?”

She could not believe the dragon would cast something like that. It was their end. No matter what they tried to do, the barrier was unbreakable, and fighting against the dragon was certain death as well.

“Will I die like this?” Laura thought.

It was at that moment that a youth carrying two beautiful women appeared, flying from the roof. Then, a familiar voice entered inside Laura’s ears, making her return to reality.

“Need some help, pretty lady?”

“You? What are you doing here? This skeleton is stronger than we thought, and… wait, you? This is impossible, impossible!”

Laura was one of the top students in the One Hundred Thunder Academy. She had contact with official mages every day, as all of her teachers were at that level.

Her master was even someone in the rank 2 stage, the leader of the academy. Which meant she knew how the aura of an official mage was, and Arthur was emanating from it.

But that should not be possible! Laura had met Arthur before, and he was not at that level. Also, how could he be an official mage young like that? She believed he did not have over 18 years of age.

The most shocking part was that the aura Arthur had was even stronger than those of her teachers, who were experienced mages that had lived a long, long time.

“Are you here to save us? I can give you anything if you do.”

Laura said in a charming tone, causing the anger of Kane, who was someone that loved her, yet never happened between the two.

“Kiddo, you are going to the central continent, right? I can sense the power of lightning from her, so the academy she studies in surely has the lightning as their key element. With my essence, you should easily be able to become a teacher there, as well as a top-student. This will be valuable for you to get more resources and also protection while you explore an unknown land.”

Ikarus gave Arthur an idea, which was not a bad one for sure. He would need resources and protection on the central continent, and being part of a strong academy would give him that.

Also, if he truly shines, the leader or the elders could help him track down Hiley, Aria and Cedric, who had gone to the central continent as well.

“All right. Tell me more about the academy you study in.”

Laura felt the question was weird, but answered none the less.

“It is called One Hundred Thunder Academy. We are based on the top of 6 mountains in the west part of the central continent. Our teachers are rank 1 mages, but our rector is a rank 2 mage, one of the strongest of the central continent, if you exclude the few rank 3 mages.”

“I see. I will save you if you promise me to get me inside your academy. With my strength, I should be a teacher, or something similar?”

“Yes, and no. You can become a teacher once you reach the eighth circle, but most teachers are from the ninth circle to the rank 1 mage. It is just a normal job to get you more rewards, but it is not mandatory to become a teacher if you don’t want to.”

“I see. So, can you get me inside your academy?”

“If you can save me, then yes. But our academy only uses the lightning attribute, the purer the better.”

“Like this one?”

Arthur opened up his palm, and a small lightning appeared above it. The color and power were something Laura had never seen, and she believed it was one pair with the thunder the rector from the academy could use.

“Who exactly are you?” Laura thought, blushing for a moment, which did not go unnoticed by Kane.

Arthur then turned to face the skeleton dragon, which was already charging toward them.
