Picking up Girls With My System

The power of the tattoos was strange, mysterious. Arthur tried to get more information with Ahanu during their hunting trip, but he said that when they were ready, he would teach them.

“Good job, son. You’re getting better with the bow each time I see it.”

“Thanks. I’ll make you proud.”

“You already did.”

Ahanu patted on his son’s shoulder and signed to everyone to keep watch.

“Come here Akhur. I’ll teach you how to butcher the beasts.”

Arthur already had a general idea of how to butcher beasts, but maybe the desert beasts were different in some form, so he did not mutter a word and learned with the tribe leader._.

“Most beasts are easy to butcher, but you should be careful and learn about the poisonous beasts around this area, as you need to cut off their poison gland, or else you may end up dead.”

“Noted.”

The beasts they had just killed weren’t poisonous at all, so there wasn’t any new thing Arthur learned, but he acted as he did, and kept praising Ahanu for his teaching.

“It was nothing. You are part of the tribe now.” Ahanu said, smiling. It seemed he was a man that liked to hear praising words, and Arthur would surely use that to his benefit.

After he butchered all the animals, he putted the meat inside a sack, and one of the lowest rank hunters carried the bag. That hunter was displeased, as that was supposed to be the job of the new hunter, Arthur.

The deeper they went, the darker the tunnels became. Arthur waved his hand and cast a candlelight to brighten up the place a little, and all the other hunters were surprised to see that kind of power.

“Whoa, I have never seen something like that. You look like those long-lost shamans.” One hunter said.

These tribe members were only used to their tattoo magic, which was powerful, yet limited to enhance their bodies and weapons. Arthur was versatile. Mages were already versatile when having only one element. Now imagine Arthur, who could cast all spells the world had.

Anyway, after they walked for some time, the tunnel came to an ending, and the outskirts of a long-lost city entered their sight. It was not the main part, far from it, but it was already huge.

Tons of ruined houses, wells, and structures, Arthur did not know what they used it for. It was bigger than all the cities Arthur had seen before, and he wondered how such a wealthy place ended up like that?

The Shukar Empire had to be wealthy to have such a city underground, yet it was now in a poor state where most of its habitants lived in tribes, and only a few lived inside cities.

What happened to that place? Arthur wanted to find that out one day.

“This is the farthest we can go. Let’s try to hunt a few more beasts before heading back. It should last us at least 2 weeks.” Ahanu said.

Arthur had a feeling of danger since the moment he entered inside that place, yet nothing happened. They hunted a few more beasts in the outskirts area of the city and left using the same path they took before.

The hunter that carried the pack with meat couldn’t carry all of that, and when they asked Arthur if he could do it, the man rejoiced.

“Now you’ll see what is good for you, newbie.” The man thought to himself, yet the scene that happened in front of his eyes was shocking.

Arthur simply stored the sack with meat inside his magical pouch and walked as if he wasn’t carrying a single thing.

Even Ahanu was shocked, and asked what had happened to the food, so Arthur explained to him what he just did.

“This is incredible. Can you make more of these magical bags?” Ahanu said. He wanted at least one of these to his tribe, but sadly Arthur couldn’t make these types of items, at least not yet.

“It’s okay. We have you here so we can use this magical bag to carry the meat on our hunting trips.”

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ The addition of Arthur and the others to the tribe was helping more than they had usually thought.

The other hunter that wanted to see Arthur suffer was also a youth, and wanted to prove himself to the tribe and his family, yet someone that came out of a sudden was standing out more than him.

“I’ll make you pay!”

Arthur sensed a strange gaze coming from the youth, as if he had a murderous intent. He only paid attention for a second before forgetting about it. Even if he was asleep, that youth could not kill him, as it was too weak compared to him.

They all returned using the same path as before and made their way back to the tribe. The hunting group left by morning and returned at sunset. It was quite the distance to reach that place.

“You’re back, husband. How did the hunting go?” A beautiful woman with black hair said. She was Ahanu’s wife.

“Everything went well, and our son showed them how fierce his bow technique is, ha ha ha.”

When they returned to the tribe, all the hunters parted way as they went to meet their respectable families. Arthur did the same, and when he got near the place where all the students’ houses were, he saw them training with Wisa, Jane, and Harmony helping.

It was already night, yet none of them was slacking, and were diligently training.

“That is what I like to see, my students. Hard work always pays off.”

Arthur gave them encouraging words and went to check up with Kai to see how his training was. Kai made good progress in both his mage path, and also with the wyvern skills Arthur had given to him. In fact, he wanted new skills.

“Tomorrow we will spar and I’ll see if you have mastered the skills I gave you. If yes, then I’ll give you more.”

“Understood, master. How about we go for a quick bite?” Kai was hungry, and so was Arthur, but before they could do anything, someone shouted from one of the defensive towers built around the tribe.

“EVERYONE, AN ARMY IS COMING!”
