Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 95 - Space-Time Magic



It was hard to deal with new students, as well as the old ones. Arthur, as the president, talked with the other teachers, and they divided the classes.

Morning for new students, and afternoon for old students. That at least until they found new teachers, which Arthur would look for after the upcoming tournament.

“I’ll walk a little. See you later, Philip.”

“Okay, bye.”

Arthur spent his day in the library, reading about magic, and looking for cool spells to learn. There was one school that caught his attention.

Time-space magic. It was a rare-affinity that, according to the books, only 3 people during all humankind had.

Why a book like that was in Odemore? Well, it was a book scattered throughout all lands.

The reason behind it was to make all humans try to learn these spells, and see if they had the affinity for it, and since most humans couldn’t even learn, it was not a big deal to spread that knowledge.

Time-space magic consisted mostly in teleports, the creation of pocket dimensions, such as the magical pouch Arthur had, and messed up with time.

It was said in the book that one of the three people that were masters of that magic could travel to the past and future, but that was still uncertain to Arthur.

Most mages could still learn teleports, but these were far weaker than the ones from the time-space affinity, and Arthur was looking for those in specific.

He already knew that traveling through these islands was a pain in the ass, and now that he had two identities, a teleport was a must.

Arthur stuffed all the books he felt were important inside his magical pouch, and left for a secluded area to train.

“Students can’t take these books without permission, and surely not the amount I took, but I’m the ruler around here, so whatever.”

Students had to talk with one teacher beforehand, and borrow a book for a certain time, and the maximum was two books at the same time. Arthur got at least 20 of them.

With the recent addition of students, the nearby areas of Odemore had lots of them roaming around and exploring.

Arthur wanted a private area to train, and now that these students were there, he had to walk a long distance.

The area of his choosing was near the now cleared dungeon. There was no idea students would go that far.

There was someone there, training.

“You are a new student? I’m Theodore, but you can call me Theo. Nice to meet you.”

Now that Arthur thought of, Theo also had blond hair…

“I’m Drakian, but you can call me Drak. Nice to meet you, Theo.”

A disguise using his real name would be stupid, so Arthur opted to get another name. Drakian came from under his dragon genes. Not that creative, but it was the only name he thought at that moment.

“Are you here to train? I assume you went looking for a place with no one around, but that’s impossible with the amount of students, right?” Theo said, laughing.

It was a strange scene. Theo, who once was an idiot, was now smiling, and looked like a decent person.

Maybe Arthur’s theory about Theo being like that because of his family was true.

“Yes, he. I just wanted a peaceful place to read and do some testing.”

“Well, be my guest. I’ll go by train there and you can keep this spot. See ya.”

Theo left the area and went deeper into the island. He was trying to act like a cool senior, which was funny.

After he left, Arthur had the freedom to start his training. Only three humans in all humankind had the space-time affinity, but Arthur was certain he also had.

Why? Well, he was not a human, but a dragon. Placidusax, the lord of dragons, was said to have the affinity to all elements in legends, and that included the space-time.

The most basic spell was called Minor Teleport. It could teleport the caster in a short distance.

Arthur wanted to learn the more advanced spells, but for that, he needed to learn the basics.

He sat with his back laying on a tree and read all the instructions to perform the Minor Teleport.

A specific sequence of magical symbols had to be drawn, and it took Arthur a few hours to get the hang of it.

“Now that I know the symbols, all I have to do is cast, and keep practicing until perfection.”

A deep-blue circle formed in midair, coming from Arthur’s hand. The circle had many drawings around it, and it lasted for a second before vanishing.

The first try was a fail, but Arthur would keep doing that until he learned it.

An old-woman watched Arthur’s practice. She smiled, and said, “interesting, interesting.”

Arthur practiced until night-time, and he finally succeeded.

[Teleport (Tier 1): Teleports the caster at a short distance.]

[Cost: 800 mana.]

It had a high cost of mana, but just like most spells, there was no cool down. Arthur could keep casting teleport until he ran out of mana.

“With the amount of mana I have, I can cast over 15 teleports in a row. That’s insane.”

Even with the spell said a short distance, it was still a reasonable distance. With just 10 teleports, Arthur could cross the entire island from one shore to the other.

It was not a small island either, so the teleport was incredible.

Arthur was happy now that he was certain he could learn many spells. Did Placidusax create magic? That could explain why he could use all elements.

Anyway, Arthur returned to his dorm to rest, as it was already night-time.

“Teleport!”

“Teleport!”

A blue circle formed on Arthur’s hands, and in less than a second, he vanished. The only thing left behind was his translucent silhouette covered in a light-blue substance. It also vanished in less than a second.

With two teleports, Arthur was back near his dorm, ready to rest before the first day of class as a student.
