Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 268 Everyone Wants to Make Him Angry

268 Everyone Wants to Make Him Angry

The students from the One Hundred Thunder Academy stood still for a few seconds before returning to reality, following Arthur toward the hotel!

Even Laura, who knew Arthur well, did not expect him to act so fearlessly in front of other Official Mages. Was he trying to start a fuss there? Or was his strength way superior to those mages?

Arthur did not even glance back at the others, walking directly into the hotel, reaching out to the counter to do the check-in.

"We are the One Hundred Thunder Academy." Arthur said to the woman behind the counter.

She quickly grabbed her notes and said, "Sr. Arthur, your room is the 704. Here, this is your key!"

"Thanks."

The room Arthur had was bigger than those of the non Official Mages, as it was expected. Laura and the others had their rooms on the same floor as him, which was the fifteenth floor!

Each one of them got a magical key to unlock their rooms. All the rooms in that hotel had an extra layer of protection, making it safe against most threats!

The place did not have an elevator like Arthur knew, but there was a magical circle which one could walk into, and then choose a number, making it teleport the user to the correspondent floor.

It was basically an elevator with a magical touch. Arthur took the lead, bringing all the students to a massive corridor which had a red carpet on it.

"The tournament is in fifteen days, right?"

"Yes."

"So, the president asked me to make you losers decent enough for us to get a suitable spot, so I will do just that. You will have 10 days of training with me, and 5 days to rest and enjoy this place."

"The training will start tomorrow. Everyone has to be awake early in the morning, or I will beat you to death."

After that, Arthur turned around and went inside his room, using the key he just got to enter it, while all the students were shocked in the hall.

Arthur could not care less about how they felt at that point. He was already being nice enough to give them five days to rest. For him, they would have to train at least for a month before having that luxury!

Now, he aimed to focus on making those losers fight better, as it was impossible to increase their power by a lot in just 10 days.

Based on what Laura said when he talked about the tournament, weapons weren't allowed, and people could only fight using either spells or with bare hands.

So, Arthur wanted to improve how they think during a battle, and to properly use their strengths and avoid getting their weaknesses exploited by their enemies.

"Training these brats will be a pain in the ass. I need a drink and food. NOW!"

The journey had been boring, but at least now Arthur could enjoy his time in an awesome hotel, and make those students train until they pass out.

"Now that I think of, coming to this tournament wasn't a bad idea." Arthur thought, laughing maniacally.

Arthur wanted to lie on his bed and rest, but what he wanted more was a decent food and some wine. So, he left his room and went to the restaurant, which was on the last floor of the hotel.

Night had already come, but the whole hotel was well illuminated with balls of light, making it look even more magical.

As for the restaurant, it had lots of mages and other important guests who were happily eating their exquisite meals, and talking about all kinds of things!

They were all finely dressed, making it clear they were wealthy people who were just enjoying their time in such a spectacular hotel!

Arthur was not wearing the same clothes he had, as the hotel gave him special clothes which were only accessible for Official Mages.

He now looked like someone important. The moment he stepped inside the restaurant, everyone glanced at him, and most of them had a praising eye!

Official Mages were common, but Official Mages who were young and from a top-ranked school were rare. The people who worked in the hotel quickly appeared to talk with Arthur, giving him one of the best tables available, just outside the restaurant on a balcony.

"The view here is beautiful."

Arthur could see the entire city from that balcony, drinking his glass of wine and experimenting with all kinds of foods the restaurant had on its menu.

He also saw that Official Mage from the Phoenix Blood academy talking to one employee, asking for one table available on the same balcony Arthur was.

"I am sorry, but someone from the One Hundred Thunder academy got the table first. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do..."

The school Arthur was from had almost the same rank as the Phoenix Blood academy. So if the two of them wanted a table, then the first one to ask for would get it!

Arthur had showed up first in the restaurant, so it was his right to have that awesome time on the balcony. The mage from the Phoenix Blood academy gazed at Arthur, and could not believe it was him again!

"First you insult me and my students, and now you get my table in the restaurant. You will regret this!"

Well, the man only thought that, as he did not have the courage to say it aloud, at least not in a public space.

When Arthur saw what was happening, and sensed the intimidating gaze the mage sent toward him, he simply laughed, making the other party even angrier.

"Can I sit here?"

Arthur looked up and saw Laura.

"Sure, why not? How are the other losers?"

"They are all sleeping. Lazy bastards. But wait, other losers? Are you calling me a loser?"

He looked at her, and remember the strongest person in the entire school was her master, so he said, "no, of course not. Laura, what are your expectations about the tournament?"

"My expectations?"

Laura looked at the city for a while before answering.

"I believe I can come on top, but as for the rest of them, I do not know. We don't know the level of the others."

It was just like Arthur thought. He was one hundred percent sure Laura could win her fight, as she was taught by a rank 2 mage, but what about the rest of them?

Arthur believed Seth had chosen the best students he had at the ninth and tenth circle, but were they on a pair with the ninth and tenth circle mages of the other schools?

Some rumors were spreading, saying that the One Hundred Thunder Academy was losing some of its past power, and maybe their ranking would decrease after that tournament.

Perhaps it was just bullshit and fake news, but what if it was true? What if the other schools were improving rapidly, and the One Hundred Thunder Academy was not?

Just the thought of it made Arthur's body warmer, and that mage from the Phoenix Blood Academy had some friends, and one of these friends went to the balcony to mess up with Arthur.

"Yo, what happened in here, brother? Do you need a hand? Or maybe an arm?" A man said while looking at the empty spot where Arthur's left arm was supposed to be.

The man even giggled to his other friends, who were just behind him.

A joke coming straight from the kindergarten, and Arthur did not have the patience to deal with it. He looked at that man, shook his head, and said a sentence that not a lot of people would say to an Official Mage.

"Who the fuck are you? I thought this place did not allow animals to wander around inside of it." Arthur said aloud.
