Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 4

Lene wore the same outfits as the other students. It was their uniform, after all. A type of lizard stood by her side. It had three eyes, scales, and spikes at its back. Arthur thought it looked like a mutated dinosaur.

It was not that big, but its claws could surely deal damage. Arthur had no clue if that familiar was weak or strong. So, he decided to be careful and test the waters before going all out.

“All right, are you ready?” Wisa stood in the middle of the arena. She gave both Jane and Lene time to prepare themselves for the fight.

They both nodded in response, and Wisa started the fight. Both wizards carried a type of book. Arthur guessed that it was a tome used to cast spells, and he was right.

Jane waved her hands, drawing magical symbols in thin air. Her tome opened, and the words on it flew towards the symbols. Sparks of lightning appeared, and everyone watching the fight got excited. Jane had a mana core of the lightning attribute. It was one of the rarest, and only a few people were born with it. That was the reason Jane had better treatment inside the academy.

Lene could not stay still and let Jane attack her. She also cast a spell of her own. But differently from Jane, Lene was more versatile in fire spells. It was a one versus one at first, but Lene knew that her attack was weaker than Jane’s, so she commanded her familiar to attack together to improve the strength of the attack.

Arthur watched everything unfold, and he also was excited to see both spells. It was indeed magical. But, when he noticed Lene’s familiar trying an attack too, he knew that it was time for him to help Jane.

The lizard-type creature opened up its mouth and breathed fire. Lene’s spell was also a fireball, so they merged, resulting in a powerful attack.

It collided with the lightning, creating a beautiful yet deadly scene. Arthur knew that Wisa, the teacher, would not let anyone get hurt, but if Jane lost, she would lose her reputation. And people could make fun of him as well for not helping her.

So, Arthur got in front of Jane, wielding his sword.

.

“Arthur, what are you doing? You can’t defend this spell. It can kill you,” Jane said. When she saw Arthur getting in front of the spell, a strange yet warm sensation filled her heart.

Jane summoned him to that world, so she couldn’t let him die like that.

Arthur, on the other hand, was more excited to test out his absorption skill.

“Jane, don’t worry. I am a human from the Dream Realm, so I cant be simple, right?” Arthur knew that no matter what he said, Jane would still be worried about his safety.

But, it was the only way to make sure she would not lose her reputation for having a weak familiar by her side.

The sea of flames engulfed the lightning, and it got closer to Jane. Arthur used his sword to block the flames and tried his best to think of the skill he wanted to use.

All of the students that were watching, and also Wisa, the teacher, thought that Arthur was insane to try something like that. Wisa was already moving to stop the flames if things went bad, but then, the extraordinary happened.

Instead of the flames engulfing Arthur, it was the contrary. The sea of flames got sucked, going directly at Arthur’s sword. The sword was blazing, and Arthur could feel all the mana around him.

Arthur knew that he could absorb all of the spells to his body, and make use of all of the mana. But that would not help in that situation, as he had no other spells to make use of the absorbed mana. And, he also did not want to showcase all of his abilities yet.

The spell got contained inside Arthur’s sword, and he tossed it towards Wisa. Everyone watching could not believe what was happening. Arthur not only parried the spell using a shitty sword, but he also tossed the spell toward the teacher.

Wisa was surprised at the sudden events, but she knew the reasons behind them. Arthur could not toss it in any other direction, as the spell could hurt other students, or burn all of the green inside the academy. Wisa was the best option to stop the spell.

Arthur also wanted to see if Wisa was strong. When the flames got near her, all she had to do was wave her hand, freezing the flames.

“What? Did she cast a spell that quickly?” Arthur thought. He did not see her drawing symbols or even using the tome. The flames got frozen in a matter of seconds.

But, things did not end there. Arthur always had a plan behind his actions. He stored a small particle of the spell inside his body and tossed it toward Lene. It was so small that no one could see it with naked eyes.

The particle got closer and closer, and eventually, it hit Lene. Arthur aimed for the chest area, and the spell was so weak that Lene did not get hurt. But, that was not the plan in the first place. A piece of her outfit burnt, showing a perfect rounded boob.

“Ahhhh,” Lene yelled. She quickly understood what happened, and hid her right boob using her hands. But, Arthur saw it for a split second.

No one suspected that Arthur was behind all of that. The spell lost control after colliding with Jane’s spell, so it was not strange for a part of it to hit Lene.

“Just wait, Lene. You’ll not be able to resist my charm. No one can,” Arthur thought.

Lene left the arena to change clothes, and Wisa told her that she did not need to return and that resting was the best thing she could do.

Everyone could not understand how Arthur blocked the spell. Wisa gave him a normal sword, but she suspected that Arthur could somehow enchant the weapons.

Anyway, Arthur and Jane won the match, passing the test. They stayed there to watch all of the other fights.

“Ahh, how beautiful it is to watch these hot women fight. Look at these boobs bouncing around. This is a paradise,” Arthur thought as he watched these beautiful scenes. Deep down, he wished that another student got her clothes burnt.

Jane, who was sitting beside Arthur, asked what he did back there.

“How did you block that spell? It was awesome,” Jane said.

“I told you I’m not simple.”

“Tell me, tell me.” Jane was curious, but Arthur thought that it was not the time to tell her about his powers.

Arthur leaned closer to her, and a sweet perfume entered his nostrils. It reminded him of flowers. Arthur’s blood pressure rose, and he could barely resist the temptation.

Close to her ear, Arthur whispered, “it’s a secret.”

Jane stuck out her tongue and said, “how boring.”

The fights last for an hour, and when they all finished, Wisa came to talk with Arthur. She wanted to speak with him alone, so Jane gave them space to talk.

“Pretty good what you did back there,” Wisa said.

“I was only doing what I should.”

“Right. So, Arthur, I have an offer for you,”

“I saw that even though you blocked the spell, your knowledge in sword fighting is lacking. Would you be interested to have private classes with me?” Wisa said.

Arthur had no reasons to refuse that. He indeed wanted to learn how to use weapons, and there was also the fact that Wisa was, well, hot. She had soft red hair, and her body was something out of this world. Wisa practiced a lot of martial arts, different from the other wizards, so her body was more in shape. And, she was more mature. That alone would drive any man crazy.

“Will I have to pay? Money is not my strong point,” Arthur said.

“Not at all. If you promise me that you’ll work hard. I don’t tolerate lazy students,” Wisa said.

“I promise.”

“All right. Our private classes will start three days from now. Don’t need to look out for me, I’ll come to you.” With that, Wisa left. She had to teach many people and not only Jane’s class.

When Arthur returned, Jane did not ask what had happened. She knew that he would tell her at the right time.

“Well, I have to meet Marget. She is my private teacher. See you later, Arthur, bye,” Jane said.

“See ya!”

Arthur’s stomach grunted, and before he could think of a place to eat, Annen passed by him. She was wearing a more seductive outfit than before, and some other girls followed her.

“Hey, Arthur. Want to go out for lunch? I brought some friends you may want to meet,” Annen said with a strange smile.

“Sure.”

Arthur was ready for another round of training.
