Picking up Girls With My System

The school had the name of Blood Spear and was the most famous school who taught the dark arts. What was dark arts was not the element those mages practiced, but how they did it.

It was common for dark mages to perform rituals, human sacrifices, as well as necromancy and other things which weren’t seen with good eyes by the others.

Arthur now had some understanding of the shadow element, as it was the main one they used in most of the dark mage schools, but the Blood Spear was different.

There was a reason to why it was the strongest, and that was because of the Blood Essence their Official Mages had. A strange type of technique, one that was lost a long time ago.

“I do have an entire inheritance about it, but I can’t use it now. Well, at least I’ll see if these blood spells are good or not.” Arthur thought.

He had the inheritance from the Blood Lord, but the strange blue bird used its power to lock it, as Arthur was not ready to use it.

“How can I enter? Will they ask a lot of questions?” Arthur said.

“Not at all. You just need a different appearance and then pass their test. These schools forge their students to act bad and fiercely, so not only you, but everyone who enters is still a ‘good person’.”

Nefion gave Arthur more instructions, and then it was time for him to leave. The two of them wanted to spend some time together after a long time separated, but that was not possible.

There were a lot of problems occurring on the central continent, and Arthur had to start their plan as quickly as possible, or else all of them could be in danger.

“It seems I will have to create another anchor inside this school.” Arthur thought.

He had finally reunited with his wives again, but now he was sure it would take him quite some time to wander around, so an anchor would give him a chance to see his girls from time to time.

After leaving Nefion’s room, Arthur also left the island and went to Odemore, which was not that far. There, he explained the situation, as well as telling who the president of the school is.

“What? Grandpa Nefion? Can I go see him?” Jane said.

“He said he will come here soon, so just wait.”

The first part of the explanation was well received, but Arthur’s wives did not like the idea of him going undercover inside a dangerous school.

“I know this is something you have to do, but it is too dangerous!” Wisa said.

“Don’t worry about it. I will be okay. Remember that I have some spells to teleport here once a week, so you will see me.”

“Really?”

When they got to know that, both Wisa and Jane relaxed a little. As for Laura and Elena, they would remain in Odemore for the time being, learning from Jane and Wisa.

Unfortunately, Arthur had to leave as quickly as possible, because the Blood Spear school was at the other corner of the continent. It would take him a long time to reach it.

He said goodbyes to all of them, and then left, hoping that the plan Nefion had would work.

A young man traveled around the continent. He wore a dark robe which covered everything from head to toes, but one could see the white brands of his hair.

It was Arthur after he changed his appearance a little. The face was almost the same, with only a few twists. The most uncommon thing was his hair, which was now white.

The Blood Spear school would accept new students soon. It would happen in a city called Shavassa, which was basically a city for rogues and bandits.

Not only that city, but the entire region was clearly under the control of the dark mages. Any village or city had guards, but those guards worked for the dark mages, only being there to protect the people against beast attacks, as well as to cover any mission person caused by the hands of the dark mages.

Arthur had been traveling for quite some time, so he was not armless anymore. His left arm had grown again, and now he made a promise to not lose it, at least not soon.

The moment he stepped inside the city, a group of bandits came from the alley.

“Look what we have here, a wealthy boy. Give us everything you have, and then we will let you live.”

It was the same sentence every time, making Arthur wonder if all the bandits had come to an agreement about these phrases. Well, that was the last thing they would say for a few days after Arthur beat them up to almost something unrecognizable.

Then he waited. Nefion told him the recruitment was something every dark mage knew, so Arthur noticed more and more youths, similar to him, entering the city.

The inn he was currently in wasn’t good, and it smelled like cow shit, but it was the best one in the city, so one could imagine how the other inns looked like.

After one more week of waiting, two Official Mages came to the city. The bandits did not even look at them, afraid they would take their lives.

As for the guards? They bowed the moment those two mages passed, clearly showing who was the person in charge.

Those two mages were from the Blood Spear school. They walked toward the center of the city, where most of the youths had gathered after hearing about their arrival. Arthur was there as well.

“Oh, this year has a lot of aspiring students, but only a few of you will pass the test,”

“The test is quite simple. First, I will test your talent and your key element to see if you fit the school. Then, we will have a duel between you, and those who die will not pass.”

When the mage said, some youths could not believe it. The first part of the test was something they had expected, so all who were there knew about their talent, but a death match?

It was fierce, and some of them weren’t willing to lose their lives just to enter a stupid school. Some left, reducing the number of students by almost half.

“Does anyone else wants to leave? No, then we will start.”

The mage took out a gemstone and saw the talent of all the mages present. Arthur was there to hide his real identity, but not his new one.

He was there to reach the apex of that school, and get the trust of the rank 3 mage. For that reason, he did not hide his talent, shocking the two Official Mages.

“This is… I don’t think there was anyone with this level of talent in our school before. Master will be pleased to have such an excellent student.”

“Calm down, he still needs to prove to us he can fight.”

“Can’t we just skip that part for him? What if he gets hurt? Master will kill us.”

“You’re right. You, stay behind us, you already passed.”

Some youths there had envy and anger after witnessing such a scene.
