Picking up Girls With My System-Chapter 100 First Class and First Test

The time with Wisa had been perfect. Arthur wished he could stay with her all night, but couldn’t.

A magic circle formed in Arthur’s hand, and he appeared near the dorm. Obviously, he had changed his appearance before returning.

One perk of being a dragon was the senses. Arthur could hear from afar that Philip was sleeping, which was an excellent opportunity to sneak in without him noticing.

Arthur turned the key and entered the room, trying to make as little noise as possible. Turned out, Philip was a light sleeper.

“Who’s there?” Philip said, getting up from his bed, ready to engage in combat.

“It’s you Drakian? Bro, I was already thinking about the worse. And why are you returning so late? Like it is midnight already. Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?”

He wasn’t actually, but had to come up with something to say.

“I’m confident about my sneaking abilities, thank you.”

“Sure. You just came inside the room and no one noticed, right?” Philip laughed so loud that it annoyed the other students.

“I don’t know who is making this much noise, but please, SHUT UP!!!”.

The students were on the edge, and a simply laugh could later their emotions.

“You heard that. Shut up, Philip. And did you master the Candlelight spell?”

“Oh, right? Check this out, bro.”

A circle with strange symbols formed in front of Philip’s hands, and a small ball of light surged.

It was a great spell to use, as it did the same job as a torch, but you didn’t need to carry around. The ball of light followed the caster.

Candlelight was a tier 1 spell, which meant Philip was a 1st circle mage. The spell Arthur learned was a lot more difficult than that one. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

The disparity between mages only lasted the first 2 circles. After that, all spells were hard to learn.

“Good job, Philip. I’ll try to learn tomorrow as well.”

“You betcha, or else you’ll not keep up with this genius here, ha ha ha.”

Philip returned to bed after showing off his skills, as his eyes were almost closing.

Arthur grabbed the book he had borrowed and practiced the Candlelight spell. The blanket acted as a cover, and within 2 minutes, he could already cast it.

After that, he went to sleep as well, concerned with Odemore’s situation.

The next day started with Philip waking him up early, as usual.

“Bro, you don’t sleep?”

Arthur complained, but Philip kept shaking him until he woke up.

They had the plan to go to the library, but that was only possible during afternoon or between breaks in the morning.

“Let’s go there between breaks. In the afternoon, I want to have my book on hands ready to practice.” Philip said.

Another day of class meant another day of theories. The practical stuff would start maybe next week, so the students had to endure their urges to showcase their skills.

There was a break after three classes, and that was their opportunity to go to the library.

A teacher was there taking care of all the books. It was Matilda, the newly hired teacher.

They walked in and paid respects to her.

“You’re a new teacher, right? I’m Drakian, and this is my friend Philip.”

“Hi.” Philip wave at her in an awkwardly.

“Hard-working students, you two are. The first to come to this library now that I’m taking care of it. I’m Matilda, your new teacher of alchemy, enchanting, and maybe in the future magical arrays.”

Matilda was taking care of the library, yet Arthur, who was the president, did not know. Not he was that concerned, as that was discussed with the teachers, and one of them would assume the post.

She was the chosen one for two reasons. First, she wanted that position. Second, Matilda taught fewer classes than the rest of the teachers.

Jane taught theory, and only practical stuff without actual combat. Wisa was the combat teacher, so she had more classes than the rest, and Harmony also taught in the same way as Jane, but she had more classes as well.

The post fit both Jane and Matilda, but Jane did not want it, so it went to Matilda.

A teacher of alchemy, and also enchanting, both of the things that Arthur liked, and also subjects important to all students.

“I need to hire more teachers to have different subjects, points of view, and also to give more rest to the current teachers.” Arthur thought.

That would have to wait until the upcoming tournament. Anyway, he asked Matilda where the beginner’s books were, and she showed them.

She had been there in a few hours, yet knew most of the book’s location. That proved her capability.

Philip was not looking for a general spell book, as Arthur already had one. He wanted one for his element, which was wood. It was easy to find, and soon he was talking with Matilda to register his borrowing.

Arthur could learn all elements, but he started working on his space-time magic, and also fire element magic.

He felt it was the best decision, considering he already chose the fire element to train on his dragon abilities.

So, he looked for a book that contained spells and information about the fire element, and found one in no time.

Different from before, when he stole the books, he had to register like a normal student.

“I want to ask a favor of you. If you see any student with a book about general spells, space-time magic, and some others, please let me know. It seemed someone stole them.” Matilda said while doing the registration.

Philip gazed at Arthur, who used his feet to kick his leg.

“We will, don’t worry.” Arthur said, and they both left the library.

When they were far enough, Philip said, “how did you steal those books? Are you crazy?”

?[0)??? “It wasn’t me all right. Just a coincidence.”

“Coming from you, I’m almost sure you did it. Anyway, that’s your problem.”

They did a quick bite and waited for the next class, which was Matilda’s.

Inside the classroom, Matilda threw her bag on the desk, looked at all students, and said, “I’m Matilda, your new teacher. I’ll choose one of you for a quick test. Let me see.”

Matilda looked to all students, but stopped when she was Arthur, someone familiar from earlier.

“Drakian, isn’t it? Come here.” Matilda said with a smile.
