Picking up Girls With My System

131 The Fall (3)



The others that were there had shocked expressions, and for a few seconds, couldn’t believe what had happened. Did that person die so quickly? Was their target that strong?

These were the questions that passed through their minds, and they only woke up from their daydreams after Arthur killed yet another person.

Arthur kept dashing and killing a new target at every second. The tables had turned, and now they were the prey, not the hunter.

“RUN!” One of them said.

The others shared the same thoughts, as they all ran towards the exit of the cave. A move that in their heads could give them a chance of survival, but Arthur knew it was impossible for them.

Arthur was relying on his body speed till that point, but as a few of them got farther away, he used his teleport, appearing behind them, and slashing them with his claws.

There was nothing any of them could do to prevent their death. He didn’t kill all of them, though. Arthur needed the information, but he already had his suspicion that it was the president of the school that was behind all of this.

“I”ll talk if you promise you won’t kill me.”.

“I promise.”

“The Emperor already knows about what you did with his son, so he sent a message to the school’s president, and he hired us.”

It was just like Arthur had imagined. After he got the information he needed, he kill the man. A survivor meant more problems for the future, and Arthur was full of them already.

Things weren’t looking good for him. The moment he returned alone, the president of the school would act again, and the Emperor would use more force to kill Arthur.

He still needed more information, and the only way to get it was inside the school. They wouldn’t openly attack him inside the school, or else the students would see it, and they couldn’t ruin the school’s image.

Arthur killed the last man standing and left the cave, making his way back to Sherekan. He called out Sully to give him a ride, so he returned much faster in only 6 hours.

The president was shocked to see Arthur returning with his life, and even more shocked to see him there so quickly. What type of traveling method did he use?

“I’m sorry, president. When we arrived there, the students were all dead, killed by the beasts, and I’m the only survivor. The rest of the men that accompanied me died in battle…”

He acted so well that the president thought he did not know who was the person behind the attack, but any smart man would guess the president was suspicious.

“This is terrible news. Take some time to rest, Akhur. You don’t need to teach today. Come back tomorrow.”

“Thank you, president, but don’t worry, I’ll teach.”

Arthur left the office and went to grab lunch. He had returned during the morning, and as he slept while Sully carried him, he was rested to teach his classes.

After the lunch, he did a quick stop in his mansion, and explained everything that happened to Jane and Wisa, asking for them to be careful, and set some protections around the house if they could.

“I now have a few magic arrays. They aren’t strong, but it will at least warn us if anyone tries to trespass.”

“All right.”

He was not at peace after warning his girls, so he returned to the school to teach his classes. The students already knew he would be gone for a few days, but the president said the amount of days was ‘undetermined’, yet he was already there after just 2 days, and was teaching again.

A few days may have passed, but the students were the same, clueless about how to fight.

“Bend your knees and maintain a tight grip. You are holding a spear, not a carrot!”

“Look at your opponent. Why are you shifting your gaze to your weapon?”

“Feet, use your feet!”

Arthur was getting angry watching those students fight. It was so bad that he wondered if that place was the best school, imagine the worst.

The student he met inside the library that shared some information with him was also among these students, and gladly, he wasn’t a complete newbie. In fact, he was quite good with the spear.

“From where I come, the spear is our main weapon. Even farmers know how to use it.” Bill said.

Arthur was getting more and more interested in that place. He gave pointers to the students in all of his three classes, and was preparing himself to return to his mansion, but then something happened.

People ran around the streets like lost chickens, and the sound of bells ringing entered Arthur’s ears, which made him knew exactly what was happening at that moment.

An invasion, but what was invading the city was still unknown to him. Maybe it was people, an enemy army from another kingdom, or perhaps it was monsters.

A few guards were running through the streets with their weapons drawn. Arthur grabbed one of them and said, “what is happening here? Who is attacking?”

The guard was in a hurry to help with the wall’s protection, but still replied, “it is monsters. They showed up out of nowhere, and lots of them.”

He let go of the guard after that, and let him do his job. Arthur teleported throughout the city, reaching his mansion within 5 seconds.

Wisa and Jane were already outside, lost, without knowing what was happening in Sherekan.

“Arthur? What’s wrong?” They said, running towards him.

“A wave of monsters is attacking the city. We need to help defend it, as it is not yet time for us to leave.”

“All right, let’s go.”

The trio left the mansion and ran towards the main gate of the city, where tons of guards and other powerful figures that were currently living in the city were getting ready to protect the city.

Other teachers of the academy were there, but the president was nowhere to be seen. Turns out he stayed in the school to protect the students.

When Arthur went above the walls of the city to look at the other side, he was shocked.

It had so many beasts that was impossible to count, at least 100 thousand.
