Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 83

“So that was the president of the school?” A man said, sipping his mug of beer.

“It seems like it. He’s so young, yet this successful.” The person who said that had his hands on his head.

“Am I feeling a jealousy here?”

“Shut up!”

The people inside the inn whispered to each other after hearing Arthur’s chat with the attendant.

Arthur did not care about any of that, and just followed the lady to a back room of the inn. There, a short and baldy man was waiting.

“Sir, the president of the magic school is here.” The attendant said.

The owner of the inn was leaning on a barrel, chilling. For a split second, when he looked at Arthur, he thought it was someone new coming to work for him, but it was not the case.

“P-president of the academy? I’m sorry for my manners.” He said and bowed.

“Not a big deal. Anyway, I want to hire some people to build some things I plan on modifying in the academy. Can you post an announce here in your inn?” Arthur went directly to the important question, as he was not someone that fooled around.

“Of course. Leave it to me.”

“All right. I’ll take my leave then.”

Arthur got what he was looking for. Almost all people went to the inn to drink, eat or just chill with friends. An announce there would be the best.

“I should get back.” Arthur thought.

The moon watched over the island, so it was time for Arthur to return to his school. In an instant, two fire wings grew on his back, and he flew away.

Some people passing by the streets saw that, and were shocked. Arthur made his name spread throughout the village with just one day…

The first place Arthur went was not his office to sleep, but the dungeon in the north part of the island.

He wouldn’t enter there, at least not yet, but it was not a bad idea to fly around and see if there were any monsters’ activity near that area.

Arthur scanned most of the area around the dungeon and found nothing suspicious. In the meantime, no monsters would attack his school.

“I can’t keep looking here all the time.” Arthur thought.

The best thing to do was to check the area every day to make sure they wouldn’t get a surprise attack, but Arthur couldn’t do that.

He had the students to watch, teach Kai, learn with Wisa, and now also supervise the construction of the school’s new areas. It was simply impossible.

It was not all lost, though. Arthur had a friend that might do that job for him.

“Hey, Sully, can you hear me?”

“Unfortunately… Yes, what do you want?”

“Meet me.”

Arthur explained the general location where he was, and as he was flying above the island, not that hard for Sully to see him.

He told him about the dungeon and asked if he could look from time to time to see if no monster came out of it.

“No problem.” Sully said.

“Thanks.”

Sully agreeing that easily surprised Arthur, but he did not question it, afraid that Sully would change his mind.

They parted ways after that, with Arthur returning to his office, and Sully presumably sleeping in a cave.

Arthur made a quick stop at the school’s dorm, flying above it. The place was vivid, with lots of talking inside, most regarding magic and teen stuff.

The students were enjoying their time in the academy, so that made Arthur happy. After that, he returned to the mansion, to his office.

It was getting late, so he grabbed a few magic books and read while laying on his bed.

One thing he wanted to do again was practice alchemy, or enchanting. These were things that had caught his attention since the day he got to know about them.

Some of the magic books Arthur got talked about these two subjects, so he read them first.

After a few hours of reading, Arthur fell asleep.

The next day would surely be an important one. Arthur and Wisa would have dinner, which was something he was looking for since she asked him.

“What should I wear? Now that I think of, I only have a few clothes. Damn it.”

Arthur regretted his decision of not buying some clothes back when he was looking for the magic array.

“Well, whatever. We will end up naked, anyway.” Arthur thought, smiling.

The first thing one should do in the morning was to eat something, so Arthur did exactly that. A shower was also nice, but that wouldn’t be the last shower of the day.

He left his office after doing all of that, and roamed around the courtyard, just like he did every day.

Classes would start in 3 hours, yet some students were already up, including Kai, who was leaving his dorm to go near the lake to train.

Arthur and Kai exchanged glances, and Arthur send him a thumbs up.

“I’m proud of your hard work!”

Theo was also training just outside of the dorm, which surprised Arthur. The boy had truly changed.

“Sup, Theo.” Arthur said.

Theo was visibly surprised to see Arthur there.

“Mr. President. Hello. I couldn’t sleep so I thought why not practice?”

“Good, good. Theo, I can see that you have changed.”

“The teachers will announce it today, but a tournament will be held in a few months. The top 10 will get rewards, such as money, instruction, and spell tomes. And will get the title of Prestige Disciples, with better treatment and uniform,”

“Harmony told me about your talent, and how well you’re doing in classes. For me, the most important thing is that you changed as a person,”

“I’m expecting great things from you.”

Theo was lost with the rewards and could not wait to prove his value in the tournament.

“I’ll not disappoint you, Sir.”

“Good. I’ll let you practice now.”

Arthur left, but Sully shouted inside his mind.

“Arthur, there are creatures coming out of the dungeon!”
