Picking up Girls With My System

The vehicle they took to reach the Ouroboros Island was not a ship but a small boat which barely fit five people at the same time.

“There are better ships, but these are only used when we need to transport a high number of students. Don’t feel bad, even the rector of other top ranked schools go to the island using this small boat!” The youth said, trying to make Arthur feel better about it.

Arthur did not mind it at all. He was happy to enter Ouroboros with minor problems. It would take them a few hours to reach the island, which was not that much time.

Along the way, he talked with the student, trying to get as much information as he could about the school, and it worked!

“Our school is a mystery to most people, but you are a strong and famous rank 1 mage, so you will eventually know more about it, but I don’t think I am the person to tell you everything.”

“I see.”

Although Arthur got some information, it was only basic stuff, which was not that interesting to him. He hoped that Jim or someone else would tell him more about Ouroboros.

He did not annoy the youth, and treated him with respect. A good relationship with the Ouroboros school was a must, so Arthur would not act rude, even in front of someone far weaker than him.

Then, after some time sailing in that tiny boat, Arthur saw it, the Ouroboros Island! It was way bigger than he expected, reminding him of some of the biggest islands he saw back when he got shipwrecked.

When they stopped the boat on the island’s shore, Arthur noticed a lot of snakes crawling around.

“Our island is filled with them. We shared some similarities, such as stealth attacks and poison.” The mage said.

Some other mages appeared after the boat arrived on the shore, wanting to see who exactly it was.

“Aren’t you supposed to be down in the village? We know the job is boring, but it was your turn now.”

“And who is this person with you?”

The group of mages could not see Arthur’s face, as he was gazing in a different direction. When he turned to face them, all of them had shocked expressions.

“Demon Lord Arthur!”

Most of them had never seen Arthur, but the rumors shared how he looked, and everyone knew the Demon Lord Arthur only used his right arm to give its opponents a chance!

The rumor about Arthur visiting the island spread as fast as lightning, and while he was making his way through the path, Jim appeared to welcome him!

“Arthur, long time no see.”

“Jim! You did not need to welcome someone like me.”

“Cut the non-sense. You are famous, and almost all the rank 1 mages know about you. Also, we can safely say we are friends, right?”

“Absolutely. Tell me, what did I miss?”

They talked to each other while walking on a pathway which led toward the school itself. Different from all the other schools, Ouroboros seemed like it did not have a plan. The buildings were scattered inside the woods, and according to what Jim said, anyone could build anything, as long as the president allowed it.

“He usually allows anything. Look, a student wanted to build a statue of a naked woman, and there you have it!”

Jim pointed to a place where a realistic statue of a gorgeous woman was. It was completely naked, and just beside it was also a realistic naked man!

“What is that for? The same student?”

“What? Oh, no, a female student wanted a naked man, so the president allowed it too!”

Arthur was understanding why the Ouroboros school was mysterious, and most people could not go there. They were crazy!

He tried to forget about the things he saw on his way, until finally reaching the main building of the school, which was a vast mansion made of a black stone with plants all around and inside.

“The president wants to talk with you in private. Don’t worry, I think you and him will become good friends.”

“Oh? You think so?”

“Absolutely! Our school reached even greater heights after he took control of it!” Jim said.

“Wait, is he a new president?”

“Yes, anyway, go inside. He is waiting for you behind that door.”

They went inside the main building, going up to the last floor, where only a few people could enter, and that was where the president of the Ouroboros School spent most of his time.

Arthur was nervous to meet with such a crazy person capable of allowing its students to build realistic naked statues. That was too much!

But when Arthur went inside the room where the president was, his mind went blank. Not only his mind, but the president’s mind as well.

For a moment, Arthur thought he was seeing things, as that was not possible at all, but after blinking for a few times, the president was still there, looking at him dumbfounded.

It turned out, the mysterious president of the mysterious Ouroboros School, the person who allowed their students to do these pervert things such as building naked statues was…

“Old Nefion?”

A warmth entered inside Arthur’s heart. Nefion was someone who went from an unknown person to a grandfather to him. He could not believe Nefion was there, of all places!

“Arthur? How are you here? This is, hahaha!”

The two hugged each other. Tears streamed down their faces, as they could not hold it. Arthur wanted to look for Nefion. That was one thing he wanted to do before leaving the planet.

He was almost sure Nefion was not even on that planet anymore, but that was not the case at all! The mysterious Ouroboros was now under his control!

“We have a lot to catch up! How is Eleonora? I ended up here after fleeing from the gods, and now I do not know how to return…”

Arthur explained everything that had happened. He did not mention a few things, but Nefion was someone he trusted, so he told him most of the things.

“She is safe back at Odemore, and I know how to return, so we can go there to see her, or bring her here!”

“Really? Are you speaking the truth to this old man?”

“Yes, I am. Old Nefion, the president of the school I am currently in, asked me to give you this letter.”

There were a lot of things for the two to talk about, but Arthur knew the letter had some importance, or else Seth would not ask him to give it to the Ouroboros school.

Nefion took it, and then activated it using a secret spell, allowing to read its contents. Arthur was watching everything, and he noticed how Nefion frowned a few times while reading the letter.

“Is something wrong?” Arthur asked after Nefion was done with the reading.

None of them spoke a word for a few seconds. Nefion sighed, and then said, “Arthur, we have more troubles, as if these dark mages weren’t enough already…”

“What is it? More enemies?”

“I will share with you later. Come, follow me. We have something important to do?”

“What is more important than a mysterious letter which possibly talks about the destiny of this entire continent?”

“Hehehe, the gorgeous women I hired to be the teachers often bath around this time, hehehe.”

No matter how much time it passed, some things never changed…
