Picking up Girls With My System

The Blood Council went to the peak of the mountain, where an immense building was located. It was the place where the Official Mages rested, trained, and lived. It was also where their meeting room was.

Arthur was getting scared, thinking that his plan was a bust, but when they all went inside the meeting room, the person who Arthur put the blame on was there.

The leader of the school was the first to talk, sitting on the highest chair at the table.

"This person here is a traitor sent by the schools to steal information from us. Look at this!"

He threw lots of documents, those which Arthur forged. These documents were like reports, aimed to be sent to all the top ranked schools. All the members from the Blood Council read them.

"Are you sure these are real? Could someone fake these to frame him?"

When the mage said that, Arthur got anxious, but he had already used a tactic to avoid such suspicion, and the school leader fell for it.

"No. All the documents have the Ouroboros stamp, and no one knows about it, only its members. You must know no one can go to that school without permission, and even those who go do not know this symbol."

"The only reason I know is because I was once a part of the school, before I founded this one."

It worked better than Arthur expected. He was not sure if the man would recognize the stamp, but he hoped that was the case, yet it worked even better!

"Was he a member of the Ouroboros? Strange. Why did he leave the school, and is now acting like a madman trying to kill everyone?" Arthur thought.

As for the youth who got framed, he did not even may talk, as they put a cloth on his mouth.

"So it is all settled. We will execute him in public to make sure no one else attempts to back stab us. Also, notice me if any of you see something strange."

"Understood."

"You can all leave and prepare the execution to happen now! Arthur, stay here. I want to talk with you in private."

All the members of the Blood Council left, leaving only Arthur and the school leader alone in that meeting room. He did not know what the leader wanted to talk about, but Arthur hoped it was something good.

"Arthur, you are proving to be someone very talented, and I already told the other members I want you in the Blood Council in the future."

"Master is being humble. I am a mere seventh circle mage."

"No, not at all. You reached this point in just two months with no guidance, which is incredible. I want you to be my disciple. If you don't like the way I teach, so you can just say and go on our own. I am not binding you at all."

That was unexpected. Arthur knew they were exalting him, but get the guidance of the only rank 3 mage on the central continent? That was priceless, even if the mage was not someone good.

The task Arthur had was to get close to that man while Nefion reached the rank 3, and then the two of them would work together to take him down, thus stopping this war.

So, turning into his disciple was not a bad idea, as that would guarantee he would get close to the man, but it would also mean they will have their eyes on him.

Still, saying no was not an option. Any mage who got such an offer would say yes, and if Arthur said no, then the school leader would suspect him of having a hidden agenda.

"Is he trying to learn more about with this? This man is smart, and I should not act as if he will never suspect me." Arthur thought.

He looked at the man with bright eyes, and said, "really? Are you telling me the truth? Yes, of course I want to be your disciple."

"Good, good. Few people know my name, but I am Sebastian. Now, I have a few things to deal with right now, so I cannot teach you personally, but you now have access to the other peak, which is where my residence is. You can go train there, as it is the best spot in the entire school!"

Sebastian gave him a token which would allow him to pass through the barrier of his peak, as well as where the members of the Blood Council stayed.

"You are already a member of the Blood Council, but not officially yet because you need the power of a rank 1 mage, but I believe you get that in a few months. Anyway, I will leave for now."

He also gave him some books which were like treasures for Arthur! The Blood Spear school not only specialized in the shadow element, but it was also the only school on the planet who had techniques which used the blood!

"Blood essence! This is something I want, as I have that inheritance to use in the future!"

Arthur accepted all the gifts, bowing to Sebastian as he left. Everything was going in the right direction for him, almost like a dream.

He went down the Blood Council peak, getting the attention of the students.

"Look, Arthur is almost a member of the Blood Council! What else can he get?"

"What else can he get? Nothing! He is just lucky, and I will surpass him in the future!"

The youth who said such words was a tenth circle mage that wished to become a member of the Blood Council as well! And everyone was sure he would because his uncle was a member. All he needed was the power of a rank 1 mage to officially enter, just like Arthur.

They never met, but he despised Arthur because of the attention he was getting, and when he saw him leaving that peak, he wanted to pick up a fight with him, but stopped when he noticed Arthur not going toward them, but moving to the other peak!

Arthur was not the first student to go to the peak where the Blood Council was, but no one could go to the other mountain peak! That was the home of the school leader, a rank 3 mage!

"What is he doing? Is he crazy?"

"Maybe he does not know about the barrier. Ha, let's see him hitting his face."

Without him realizing, lots of students were watching him go up the mountain peak, waiting for him to hit his face on the barrier, and look like a clown in front of everyone, yet that did not happen.

Arthur passed through the barrier using the power of his token, shocking all the students who were watching him.

"This is impossible. Am I seeing things?"

"There is no way. The only explanation is that he is now the school leader's disciple, but he has never got a disciple since the foundation of this school."

"He can't be his disciple, right?"

The scene spread to everyone in the school. Liz and Lucas, who knew Arthur well, were also shocked, more than the other students.

"Why is he a disciple of that man? Isn't a dragon way more powerful than a rank 3? What is he up to?"
