Picking up Girls With My System - Chapter 447: A Terrible Teacher Has To Teach

“Found something?” Victor asked.

Arthur was visibly irritated, but once he returned to the cabin, saw everyone there, his wives, he calmed down a little.

“Someone stole it, but they can’t use it, so its alright. I will find the person in the future,” Arthur said, sitting on a chair.

Emily and Tracy were already asleep. Victor stayed awake to wait for Arthur.

“Someone did that? That sucks. Look, Arthur, there is something I want to ask you,” Victor said.

The two were alone in the kitchen, speaking in the middle of the night.

“Sure. What’s wrong?”

“Tracy. She will get her familiar soon, and when it happens, I will send her to the magic school. I know it’s a lot to ask, but can you take care of her? At least until she understands how this world works, and is safe inside the school,” Victor said.

He had a pledging look, one that was hard for anyone to turn down.

Arthur liked Tracy. He saw her as a little sister, so when Victor asked that, he felt it was alright.

“I can, yes. This magic school is where? Please tell me it is in the capital, or the most important city.”

“Yes, it is. Why do you ask?”

“The mage who stole me. He has to be a powerful one, so the best place for me to look for the person is in the capital,” Arthur said, explaining his thought process.

Victor placed his hand on his chin. “it makes sense. Anyway, I will go to bed now. Thanks for taking care of my daughter.”

“No problem. Good night.”

“Good night.”

Only Arthur remained in the kitchen, sitting on the wooden chair, alone in the dark. He had troubled thoughts, and his concern about his wives was increasing by the minute.

When would they wake up? That was what Arthur wanted to know, but it was impossible at that point, and it made him worry.

“I should stay with them,” Arthur thought, leaving the kitchen, and going toward the bedroom where his wives were.

They were in the same position as before. Arthur went close to kiss them, and also check their breathing and vitals.

Everything looked perfectly fine. “It is only a matter of time, I hope.”

Arthur was not tired, so instead of sleeping, he remained by their side during the entire night, making sure no one came to harm them. With him there, not a single person had the power to harm Jane, Wisa, or Sybille.

“Good morning. Are you wake already?” Tracy said, passing by the hallway, seeing Arthur near his wives.

He did not even sleep. That was why he was awake so soon. “yes, I am a morning person. But what about you? Shouldn’t you sleep more?”

“I tried, but I am too anxious! My guts are telling me this is the day I will summon my familiar,” Tracy said.

When Arthur heard that, an idea popped into his mind. The plan he had was to make anyone he could on that planet to practice the Dragon Meditation Technique.

Why? That would grant them dragon powers, which turned it into an appealing technique for mages to practice, but it would also boost Arthur’s power at the same time.

He knew it was impossible to change the summoned familiar, but that did not mean he could not summon a better one

“What if Tracy practice the Dragon Meditation Technique? Can she have a better familiar?” Arthur thought.

It was only a guess, but one there was no reason for him to not take. Arthur look for Victor and Emily the moment they were awake, and explained the technique he had.

Arthur left out the part where he would be the one getting a lot of benefits, but said it was a technique from his race, and one that might grant Tracy a better familiar.

Victor was the first to answer, not too worried about it. “You can teach her.”

“Victor!” Emily said.

She was beside him, and although she trusted Arthur, it was dangerous to accept a technique from a stranger. Some techniques would bring more down sides than benefits, and that was not what she wanted for their daughter.

“Darling, this is a dangerous world. We both know that. If we can strengthen our daughter, we should take it!” Victor said.

Emily then entered a thinking process, remembering how cruel the world could be, especially to a child like Tracy. Never would she want her daughter to suffer, or even worse, die.

“Alright. But if Tracy gets any side-effects, we will stop the training,” Emily said, and both Victor and Arthur agreed to it.

If it was a random person, Arthur would not care for the side-effects, but Tracy was a child, a little sister. There was no way he would harm her, especially after everything their family did to help him and his wives.

After they talked about the subject, and decided it would be a good idea for Arthur to train her, then the training started at that very morning that Tracy woke up sooner than the chickens.

She was blooming with happiness, running around inside the cabin, and eating her breakfast as fast as she could. After she was done, she looked at Arthur and said, “can we go training now?”

Arthur rolled his eyes at that and said, “you know you have to wait for me to finish my breakfast, regardless of how fast you go, right?”

“Oh, right…” Tracy chuckled, sitting beside Arthur, waiting for him to finish.

“I have never seen someone so excited to have a class with me. Does she know I am a terrible teacher? Ah, there is no need to be thinking about that,” Arthur thought.

He wanted to enjoy his breakfast, but with Tracy staring at him, it was difficult. So Arthur finished quickly too and went outside with Tracy.

Victor was there too, as he insisted on accompanying them on the first day of training. Arthur saw no reason to say no, and the trio left the village, going into a remote area, a waterfall not that far from the village.

On the way there, Arthur looked at Victor and said, “after you see the technique and how good it is, would you like to practice it too?”

“Me? Why would I do that?”

“To reach rank one and beyond. It can help you get there, even without resources or genius-like talent.”

Victor grabbed Arthur’s arm, and the sudden movement caught him off-guard. “Can it truly help me reach those ranks?”

“Yes, it can. Look, I was thinking about it after you asked me to take care of Tracy. I will do that, but all of us know I cannot keep doing forever. But if you and Emily get to rank 1 or 2, you can move to the capital and look out for her,” Arthur said.

He still wanted to go to the capital with Tracy, take care of her for a while, maybe enter the same school as her as a professor, to have some fun time. It was his vacation, after all.

But eventually Arthur would leave, and it would be better if Victor and Emily were strong enough to protect her.

“Please, teach me and my wife! I will be eternally grateful to you!”

“Alright. But let’s start her training first,” Arthur said, pointing at Tracy, who was already far from them.

She did not stop moving for a second, and the two, who were lost in a conversation, did not notice it.

“Tracy, we are coming!!!”

“What is this thing?”

A metal ball was inside a laboratory on the tallest floor of the mage tower. An old man was staring at it, not knowing what to do.

“I can feel this is impressive. Let’s hope the owner does not come here to get it…”
