Steam Power

"Haha, that's really a funny sword. How will you fight with it?" Maryl said as she laughed.

Hearing her, Grace covered her face as she softly chuckled. Not at Arkhen, but at Maryl. 'That's what you get for not paying attention to classes.'

Arkhen grinned and easily lifted the sword as a burst of steam gushed out from behind the sword's handle.

The gear patterns on the sword's broad blade moved as Arkhen lifted the sword and swept it in the air, creating a gust of wind.

"How about we spar to see how I fight with it?"

Instructor Klein coughed and said, "Princess Maryl. The size of the sword doesn't matter. Arkhen's awakened gear weapon manifested in that shape due to his internal steam spirit."

Maryl's face turned slightly red, but she quickly composed herself and smiled, "If you wish to spar, then sure."

Saying that Maryl stretched her right hand as a burst of steam appeared from her glove before her gear weapon manifested.

*Splat!*
