Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 138 Joining the Army (1)

Arthur knew the location of that settlement, and also the location of his settlement. When night-time arrived, and he was alone inside his new house, he left.

With the help of his teleport spell, Arthur returned to his own settlement in one minute, and explained everything to his girls, and a few other high-ranked members inside the settlement, such as Theo, Kai, Mohe, and Bill.

“That is an awesome idea, but you should return before someone notices something abnormal. Remember that it is your first day there, and the elves may watch you.” Jane said.

“You’re right. I’ll stay away for some days before returning here. Sully has a mental connection with me, so if anything happens, he will warn me.”

After that quick conversation, Arthur left, returning to the Elven settlement. Just like Jane had said, a few elves were around his house, watching his every move. It was a good thing that spacial magic was considered a legend, and there was no way they would guess the new elf would know it.

Arthur returned to his house without them noticing it and laid down on his soft bed with a book in hands. What could he do to get them to trust him? There was a way, but it would take him some time, but time was something he had the most, as there was no way he could leave the Elven Kingdom as of now._.

Early in the morning, Arthur wandered around and looked for the person in charge of the guard training for the settlement. He was already teaching a few young elves that were hitting a training doll made of wood.

“You are new around here, right? The one without memory.”

“I’m, yes. Well, at least I recalled my name, Akhur.”

“Akhur? A different name, but anyway, it is a good thing you’re remembering.”

“Also, I came here for another reason. Maybe I could join the training to become a guard? Seeing all of you made me eager to one day join the army!” Arthur said.

“A difficult goal you have, but one that is not impossible. You can join Akhur. I’m Giullis, a veteran in the army and now the person in charge of teaching the younger generation how it is done.”

Arthur grabbed a training gear and went to the training grounds. He did just like the others, attacking the training doll with a two-handed sword. He had more skill than the rest, and Giullis noticed that as well.

‘All right, everyone. Let’s do some training fights.” Giullis said.

The other youths were used to it, as they did that every morning. A few of them there did not like the new elf arriving out of nowhere and already getting in their training. They had to deserve that spot, and now someone just earns it without effort? They would not let that happen.

Arthur went to the first fight, and his opponent did not have a friendly face. Giullis did not notice the killing intent behind the gaze of that youth, but Arthur did, and would let everyone know how superior he was.

“All right, start!”

The elf against Arthur rushed in, wielding two swords made of wood. He had a different type of stance and used magic against Giullis rules. A green energy circled the body of the elf with some ethereal flowers that showed up from time to time.

Elves could only have 2 types of elemental affinity: wood and wind. For that reason, they were the race with the most knowledge about it, and almost all the elves nowadays had twin affinities, which meant they could use wood and wind spells. That was one reason the elves remained at the top, even with their sparse population.

The spell that the elf had just cast was one of the wood element that created poisonous flowers that attached to the weapon the user used, making it deadly. It seemed he was trying to kill Arthur.

“Stop!” Giullis yelled, but stopping the attack was impossible.

Arthur saw all of that and wanted to laugh. For him, stop that attack using any of his spells was easy, but that would warn the elves as he did not know any spells of the wood element, and neither of the wind element. So Arthur opted for a more warrior style.

When the elf got near and tried to slash both of its poisounos swords towards Arthur, he used his superior attributes, dodging the upcoming attack with ease. He then stood far away behind the youth and waited for Giullis to come.

He wanted to beat that elf so badly no one would recognize him, but if he did that, both of them would be on the wrong side, and that would affect the relationship with the other elves. Arthur did not want that, and Giullis nodded at him after seeing his mature behavior.

“Kymil, I’ll not expel you because of the respect I have for your father, but if anything like this happens again, you’re out. Do you understand?”

Giullis made sure that all the other elves there heard it, and most of them that had thoughts of doing something like that to Arthur thought otherwise. They did not have the same luck as Kymil, whose father was a general in the army, and a friend of Giullis. If they were the ones doing that, then surely they would be in bed sheets.

Arthur stand aside and watched all the others spar during the morning. Giullis went near him from time to time, saying he was sorry for that behavior, and that he would make sure nothing like that ever happens again.

“I need to make Akhur stay here. He’s strong, and I barely saw his movements back there. Maybe the Elven Kingdom will have a new famous general in the army?”

What would Giullis think if he knew that the speed he witnessed was barely 5% of the Arthur’s power? As for Arthur, he got to know from Giullis that the Elven capital was near to where they were, and they would go there in a month for the next phase of their training.

“Hahaha, I’m invincible. These giants are strong, and now that I have them as my undead minions, it will be easy to conquer all lands. First, I need to know how to get out of this place.” A tall, robed skeleton said.
