Picking up Girls With My System

The next day was important for Arthur, as his wives and friends would arrive in the city, and he had to see them!

Many people had to wait in line to enter the city, especially with the magical school starting the classes, meaning people from everywhere in the country were going there with their sons and daughters.

Arthur waited by the city's gate, and when he saw his wives, they walked toward him, trying not to act suspicious. They knew what he looked like — he had told them via mental messages — but Tracy was surprised to see Arthur looking that way!

"Grandpa! Hahaha, grandpa!" Tracy said, hugging Arthur as she kept joking about his appearance.

All the people around did not see it as strange and did not bother with a child hugging a grandpa. That was common.

Delphine was there too, surprised only for a second by Arthur's appearance. She knew he was someone with a higher power than all the other beings on the planet, so it was normal for him to change his appearance, even if it sounded incredible to ordinary mages. So for Arthur, it was not a big deal.

"Let's go. I have a house for us to stay," Arthur said, leading the way to his house, the same one near his liquor store.

It took them almost thirty minutes to reach where Arthur lived. Not because it was far, but because the city had too many people the last few days, making walking there a pain in the ass.

When Arthur arrived in his neighborhood, the older people who knew him were surprised, "are these your grandchildren?"

"Hahaha, you bet. The little one is attending school, so I'll take care of her now."

"That's lovely, Nefion!"

No one found it strange and asked further questions, as they had their things to care for.

Tracy had been stunned the entire time she arrived in the city because it was the first time she saw something grand and houses that looked decent, not the wooden cabins she was used to in the village!

Delphine had once traveled through some cities to sell her potions and buy some ingredients, so she was not that impressed, but still, that city was something else!

"Can I use any room?" Tracy asked.

Arthur's house had plenty of rooms, yet he only used one, "yes, choose any room you like, but not mine. Delphine too."

The two went out and found themselves nice rooms with a bathroom, too, and both were happy with it! Although the two knew it would only last for a day, as they would have to live inside the magical school's dormitory when their classes started, they did not think about it and enjoyed their time.

Speaking of classes, Delphine went to talk with Arthur in private, as she wanted to know how the meditation technique he would give her would go.

"I will have an answer by night, don't worry," Arthur said.

She did not bother him with more questions and did not beg for the meditation technique either. Delphine was glad Arthur was even thinking about possibly giving her something that valuable.

Then, they all sat in the living room and shared everything that had happened the last few weeks, getting up to date with the gossip and the news.

Tracy's dragon egg had yet to hatch, but it was showing signs of life already, which was good! Also, Emily and Victor, Tracy's parents, were increasing their power. Both were now close to reaching the Official Rank of mages, all thanks to the Dragon Meditation Technique Arthur gave them!

Their power had been stuck at the same level for a long time, as they only meditated with their low-grade technique, and both had stopped their adventures years ago, settling down to take care of their family.

Arthur was happy to make a change in their life, and the more time passed, the more he saw Tracy as a sister he never had.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" Arthur asked.

Just like the son of Arthur's friend, who had started his school days the other day, Tracy would start hers the next day, and there was no way she was not anxious about it. Arthur would if he were in her shoes.

"I am! Will everything be alright?"

There was no way for Arthur to know that, but he wanted her to feel safe, and she was safe because he was there to ensure it, "yes, Tracy. Don't worry about it. You have an excellent talent, and you can always ask me if you have any doubts about magic."

For a moment, Delphine felt jealous, as Tracy was just a kid, yet she already had someone incredible to support her. So many people would do anything to get that.

"Not that I am not getting any help from him, too. I should not act like this," Delphine thought.

Arthur did not open his liquor store that day, which was unnecessary. "No one will find it strange, considering they think I am spending time with my grandchildren."

He only moved during nighttime to check with Kalen to see if he was still working his ass off to make the casino come to life, and sure thing, he was! Arthur also wanted to know about the meditation technique results.

"Husband, while you take care of your store and secretly a cult to get more power, what can we do?" Wisa asked as she was in bed with Arthur, Jane, and Sybille.

They wanted to help, and Arthur could understand that.

"Maybe you three can enter the school as teachers or other positions, like one working in the library? I want to get some samples about the spells of this planet, so this is a good opportunity. Also, it should be peaceful there for you to meditate and grow in power too."

"Good idea. We will get ourselves a position tomorrow."

Despite all of them wanting to have a good time in bed, there were children nearby, so they decided not to that day, even if it was hard.

When morning came, Tracy ate breakfast and went to the magical school with Arthur's wives.

He wanted to go there too, but it would not be a good idea, as he tried to lay low the best he could.

"So are you saying this technique works?" Delphine asked.

Arthur checked with Kalen the other night, and the technique worked fine.

"Yes, but only if you desire power more than anything. Will you do anything for it?"

That was the critical question to make sure Delphine sold her soul to him, and sure thing, she said, "I will do anything for power!"

After that, a handshake and a hand on the forehead to pass the technique to her, completing all the necessary steps. After getting that much information inside her head, she had to sit down, but it did not take her long to readjust her body finally.

"This is incredible! A technique like this one is legendary! I don't think there is something with a higher tier in this country."

Delphine did not know all the techniques of the world she lived in. Hell, she had no idea Arthur came from another planet, so it made sense for her not to be sure if the meditation technique Arthur gave him was the strongest there was.

But Arthur knew it!‌ There was no way a minor planet like that one had better techniques than the ones he had or the one he had just created.

Having passed down the technique to Delphine, she also went to the magical school to study, the same one Tracy and Arthur's wives went to.

Everyone had something to do, and he did, also.

"Open my liquor store it is!"

The day was busy for Arthur, who was not seeing many clients the other day.

"My son is going to be the best one, a genius, haha," a man said to another, sitting around a wooden table, drinking some liquor Arthur served them.

His liquor store not only sold closed bottles to its customers but now had many tables for them to sit and enjoy drinks there, like a bar.

"I should hire someone to cook something for the clients."

Arthur decided to implement that kind of thing so that people stayed inside his shop more, thus gossiping about something. So he needed information to ensure nothing would get to him unnoticed.

"Did you know? The strongest mage in the country will visit the magic school tomorrow to welcome all the new students."

"Really? You mean Hen, the divine swordsman?"

"Oh? Of course not. I mean Myla, the Fire Blossom."

That sentence caught Arthur's attention immediately. The strongest mage in the country? He had to meet that person to see what his level was.

Sure thing, it was easy to get a part-time job in the school, like helping clean up the courtyard for a day, and that was what Arthur aimed for.

"Let's see if the mages here are decent or just trash," he thought, pouring drinks non-stop to all of his clients, who kept increasing by the second.
