Picking up Girls With My System-Chapter 68 - An Army of Goblins

The first thing was to take a shower. Arthur was sweating like a pig after slashing that wooden sword for hours.

It was quiet in the mansion. Arthur went to his room and on his way he passed through Jane’s and Wisa’s room. There was no noise coming from them.

“Teaching these kids is not an easy task.”

Arthur cleaned himself using the hot tub from his bathroom, and changed his clothing to a sort of pajamas.

Just like the other day, he had to cook his own food, and used whatever ingredient there was inside his kitchen to make something.

“What the hell is this? I don’t know but it is eatable.” 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

He threw everything and made something that surprisingly was tasty.

After that, it was time to sleep and rest. Sully was already doing that, snoring through the room.

Arthur wouldn’t kick out his friend and companion. He had to somehow overcome the snoring problem.

He went to his comfy king-sized bed, and slept, thinking of how peaceful his life was at that moment.

“This isn’t bad after all the shit I went through…”

The next day started the same way. Students all went to their classes, and tried their best to learn how to properly use magic.

A few of these students were raising above others, like the girl that warned Arthur about Theodore.

She had a decent talent, so it was common that she would get ahead of others, at least in the initial stages.

Jane wanted to start a more practical test, so she decided to go near that lake, and make the students test their initial spells, to see if everyone was learning it correctly.

Arthur changed back to his fine clothing, and went with them to see how the students were doing.

He did not go with them, but went in the shadows, and no one noticed his presence.

“All right.” Jane looked at the 15 students in front of her.

“I’ll call out a name. You’ll come here, and cast the spells you know. Please, cast the spells towards the lake. I don’t want any burning trees or anything like that.”

All the students nodded, and most of them could not stop moving their legs or hands. They were anxious, and Arthur found that funny.

Speaking of Arthur, he was behind a tree watching everything. His all black clothing helped to camouflage when standing near a shadow.

Jane called a name Arthur had never heard, and a student went forward.

The student went near the border of the lake, and cast his spell towards it.

A spell that was also from the water element. A small ball of water that flew towards its destination.

“Why do I feel that spell doesn’t hurt? I don’t know, fireballs are much scarier and cooler.”

Arthur thought about fireball, and the next student cast that same spell.

“This is it. That’s a real spell!” Jane called, and they went, until all 15 students showed their spells.

Both Jane and Arthur were surprised to see that all students cast spells without problems. Everyone was learning well in the Odemore academy, and that was amazing.

Everything was going in the right direction, until Arthur noticed something strange and peculiar.

A group of goblins, at least 10 of them. They were coming from the woods, going straight towards the lake where Jane and the students were.

Arthur kept hiding, watching their moves. All the goblins ranged from level 10 to 13.

“This is no problem for Jane. She can handle th- what the fuck is that?” Just as Arthur said, more and more goblins showed up. 10 turned into 20, and 20 turned into 40.

In the end, there were at least 100 goblins marching towards them.

It was too much for Jane, for that reason, Arthur left his hiding spot and went to talk with her.

“Jane!”

“Arthur? What are you doing here?” It took Jane by surprise. She would never think Arthur was watching her class.

“There is a problem. I spotted at least 100 goblins marching in this direction. Leave and take the students to a safe place, please.”

“One hundred goblins? Where did they come from?” “I’ll find that out after dealing with them. Please.”

Jane nodded, gathered all the students and returned to the academy.

Arthur stood in the same place, waiting for the horde of goblins to show up, and they did.

One hundred small little green creatures, wielding all sorts of weapons. The evil on their faces was clear. Arthur knew that these goblins were looking for trouble.

They got closer, and eventually spotted Arthur, all alone, waiting for them.

The goblins laughed, and said some things to each other that Arthur could not understand.

“They are probably roasting me.”

All the goblins took their weapons out, and prepared to march against Arthur.

Arthur did the same, activating his dragon transformation, and setting his claws on fire.

Two fire wings grew on his back. He was ready to kill all of these goblins.

The sudden change of appearance surprised the goblins, but they did not think one human could win against one hundred of them.

It was impossible. In their minds, Arthur was just doing some tricks to look more scary.

They were wrong. Arthur flew towards them using his wings, and started to hunt them like an eagle.

He would go up, choose a target, and fly towards it, kill, and then go up again.

The strategy was like a cheese, but Arthur did not mind that. He actually wanted to fire breath these goblins to death, but that would set the entire forest on fire, and that was bad.

Green blood was everywhere, and the goblins started to die, one after one.

It was a complete mess, a massacre. Some goblins even tried to hit Arthur using their bows, but Arthur dodged all the arrows easily.

Everything was on the right direction, until something hit Arthur from the back.

An arrow, but one he did not see it coming. It pierced through his back, creating a nasty wound.

“Oh no. Don’t tell me there are invisible goblins as well? Just like that damn place? Fuck my life!!!”
