Chapter 322 Steampunk World, Princess Grace

[My lord. I gave the bloodline orb to Luna. She is undergoing the process of bloodline infusion in the Dream Fragment. Also, the girls said that since they want to kill all of the dream beasts inside to make progress in their rings, it will take them four hours.]

"No problem. Also, since Grace's trial started, I am going inside her trial story. Do not hold back on using Reality Motes and Reality essence to aid everyone while I am gone."

[Understood].

After saying that, Arkhen also told his pets to go and stay with Gerald, Yosin, Sherly, and Tiffany so they could train together.

"Ruan, use your abilities to help them if any trouble arises. You can easily help everyone escape," Arkhen said with a smile.

"Awoo!" Ruan nodded vigorously.

"Roar!"

"Rawr!"

Arkhen wryly smiled at the two tigers and said, "I know, I know. You two are also helpful and strong. Now go and stay cautious."

After saying that, Arkhen disappeared into Mystic Wonderland.

…

Steampunk world, Kingdom Bayonet.

Grace was a princess of the Bayonet Empire, and Arkhen was a commoner who had gotten admission to the Royal Bayonet academy.

He aimed to become a Paragon Knight!

Inside one of the dorms of the academy, Arkhen was absorbing the setting and new memories related to this trial story.

"Interesting. This is a unique world with a unique power structure," Arkhen muttered.

He looked at the table and saw a pair of leather gloves with an eccentric symbol and tiny gear patterns.

After putting on the gloves in his hands, Arkhen could feel steam power entering his body, pumping power into his blood and bones.

[The Reality Token perceived something unique and unlocked a part I was unaware of before. This happened while that mysterious power entered into you.]

"Oh? Is that related to this world?"

[Yes. I am also just a medium of this system, so I don't know everything about it. I tried to glean more information but failed. Since you are the master of the system, you must continue getting powerful and upgrading it to know more about it.]

*knock… knock!*

"Arkhen, it's time for our 2nd and most important day of the academy! Quickly come out, or the instructor will start.

Hearing his friend's voice, Arkhen got up and wore his leather armor, boots, and helmet before going out and rolling his eyes after pulling up his helmet's visor. "There's still time, Mike. Stop getting needlessly antsy."

A man in his early twenties was standing there, having short light brown hair and almond eyes. He was handsome, but not as much as Arkhen.

Arkhen was the center of attention in the academy because he was very talented despite being a commoner.

"Whatever, man! I can't wait to manifest my gear weapon," Mike said with excitement.

[My lord, I am going now, and you will also fully immerse in this trial. Just remember this trial will be very hard, both for you and Grace.]

…

Soon, Arkhen and Mike arrived at the training ground where twenty-eight other knights were present. All of them were excited.

The instructor was a middle-aged man with red hair and a red beard.

"Your steam power was measured yesterday. So, today, it's time to manifest your gear weapon."

Right after he finished speaking, a snort resounded at the entrance of the ground as two girls entered.

"Instructor Klein. It seems that you didn't want to wait for us and already started the lecture," said the beautiful long black haired girl who snorted. "We are right on time and not late, for your information."

The other girl was also gorgeous. She had peach porcelain skin stone and beautiful natural blond wavy hair. Her well-developed body had a pair of temping boobs of D-cup as they perfectly fit her elegant figure.

The faint smiley expression on her face was filled with grace and charm as her honey-colored eyes attracted everyone.

Everyone's attention was indeed pulled on them. Especially the eyes of the boys in the group instantly shone as they saw those two girls.

"It's Princess Maryl and Princess Grace," Mike said as he elbowed Arkhen and whispered. "Bro, if we can make them our girlfriends, our life will become so much better, hehe."

Arkhen wryly smiled, but he finally saw the younger Grace as she entered the ground. His body felt a slight restlessness as he wanted to hug and fuck Grace. After all, she was his first woman.

"Princess…" Instructor Klein wryly smiled. "I didn't wait because you already possessed this knowledge and awakened your gear weapons."

"It's fine. Ignore this lass," Grace said with a smile.

"Sis!" Princess Maryl pouted.

'Damn, both of them are so cute and beautiful.'

All the boys thought.

"Ahem," Instructor Klein coughed as he turned back to the students. "Listen. Use the power of your steam gloves and control the steam energy in your body. Try to sense the source of your power and enter a focused state."

Grace and Maryl stood at a side instead of joining the group of students since they had already awakened their gear weapons.

The students quickly returned to their senses and listened to the instructor as they did as told.

Arkhen also focused and managed to sense the source of the steam power in his body. It was a tiny gear-shaped thing made of white steamy energy.

"Now, extract the energy from that source and channel it towards your gloves. Do it slowly and carefully. If you rush, then your gloves will break."

While the students were focusing and doing as told, Grace and Maryl were observing the students.

Maryl elbowed Grace and looked at Arkhen before saying, "That's the guy, right? The one who scored highest in writing and combat test and also measured S-rank steam potency?"

"Indeed," Grace nodded as she looked at Arkhen and his focused state.

"Hehe, he is also very handsome for a commoner. Too bad we can't be with commoners," Maryl said with a sneaky chuckle.

Grace just smiled and didn't say anything. She knew that royalty couldn't be with commoners.

"Oh, it's starting. Let's see what these brats get," Maryl said as she saw color energy appearing around everyone's gloves as if something was manifesting.

"What brats? All of us are the same age," Grace rolled her eyes. "You are the one acting like a brat."

…

After ten minutes, everyone opened their eyes as their focused state was suddenly disrupted by a power.

However, all of them held different kinds of swords in their hands, which was manifested over the course of the last ten minutes.

Although all swords were steel swords, they had different designs and patterns on their sword blade and handles.

Some had Sabre swords, some had katana-like swords, some had long swords, some had fencing swords, etc.

Arkhen's sword was a heavy sword, and he was the only one who had a heavy sword.

"Damn, bro. Can you even lift it?" Mike asked with a dumbfounded expression.

Other students were also surprised to see Arkhen's sword.

Instructor Klein, Maryl, and Grace were not surprised anymore since they were already surprised when they saw his sword manifesting.

'Shock burst?' Arkhen opened his eyes as he felt the unique power of his sword. 'Interesting.'
