Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 456 Dragon Egg?

"Really? What's the catch?" Delphine said.

She did not believe Arthur would create a powerful meditation technique for her in exchange for nothing. It had to have something.

"No catch, but I hope you can stay by my side and perhaps take care of Tracy. You know I won't be in that magic school forever," Arthur said.

Of course, there was a catch. She would sell her soul to him, and her constant practice of the technique would grant him more power. Of course, Delphine would also have to obey every order, but Arthur would not ask her to do crazy shit, that is.

"Can you give me the technique now?"

Delphine had been stuck in her level for quite some time, so she was eager to finally get her hands on a decent technique, as those were only for wealthy mages from noble families or those with heaven-defying luck.

"Calm down; I still have to create the technique, remember? Don't worry; you will get it soon enough."

They remained in that location until the sun was gone and the moon shone brightly in the sky. Arthur gave Tracy and Victor many pointers and helped them channel their mana better.

Victor was so happy on the way back, "I am finally making improvements after such a long time! Emily will be proud of me. Hehe, of course, all thanks to you," he said, looking toward Arthur with a praising look.

Once they returned to the village, it was time to prepare for Tracy's ceremony, which was something private; only the kid's family could participate.

Despite that, Victor, Emily, and Tracy wanted Arthur to be there, which was not a problem for him. He wanted to see it, even if they had not asked him.

Delphine, though, returned to her cabin, excited to eventually get her new meditation technique and perhaps become a powerful mage.

"Grab that herb right there," Emily said, pointing toward a flask with a herb in it.

It was customary for them to prepare tea for the person about to get a familiar. According to studies, it would relax one's mind so that the person can connect with the familiar better, bringing it from another realm.

Arthur did not know if that was true but watched everything and helped them prepare the tea. Everything happened at the back part of their house, in the forest.

Tracy was a little nervous, watching her parents prepare the things for the ritual, and she had no idea what to expect! She wanted something powerful but also a familiar that would be there for her for the rest of her life.

She could not stop in a single place, and Arthur had to go there, putting his hand on her tiny shoulder, "don't you worry. With me here, there is nothing that can hurt you."

He was not even joking when he said that. It seemed to have worked as Tracy calmed down, returning her breathing to normal, "right. With you here, nothing can go wrong!"

When everything was done, Tracy sat with her parents around her, who put torches forming a circle, and Tracy was right in the middle of that circle with a bowl in her hands.

The bowl contained the tea they had just prepared, and Tracy drank it! Her mind relaxed, and she sat cross-legged, trying to connect with the other realm with the help of her meditation technique!

Arthur watched everything from afar, trying to let Tracy concentrate without having someone too close, yet he noticed she was struggling to connect with her familiar.

"Maybe it is because the familiar is too powerful?" Arthur guessed.

Victor and Emily noticed it, too, shifting their gazes to Arthur, hoping that he could somehow help her.

With a nod, he walked toward Tracy and gently placed his index finger on her forehead, trying his best not to disturb her. Then, using his superior power, he helped her channel the mana into the right spots and connect better with the other realm!

It seemed to work, as Tracy was no longer sweating, and her face returned to normal. She was once again relaxed, which was the key to her success. Maybe Arthur's help with the channeling was not the most important part, but his presence! Tracy had a feeling that with him around, nothing could stop her!

Then, out of a sudden, a portal appeared before Tracy!? She did not see because she had her eyes closed. Arthur looked through the portal, and he saw it!

Tracy's familiar was close to the portal and slowly moved out as if an attraction force was pulling him from that mysterious place.

It was not a baby familiar, which was often what came from the portal. Rufus, for example, was a tiny wolf when Victor got him.

What Arthur saw was an egg. The egg was shiny and stopped before Tracy.

She opened her eyes, expecting to see some creature, yet when she saw the egg, Tracy did not know if she should laugh or cry.

Arthur went close to the egg, placing his hand on it, trying to sense its energy, and once he did, the shock was all over his face.

He looked toward the unhappy Tracy and said, "this familiar of yours is from the same race as I am, so it will be extraordinary!? Be happy, Tracy!"

Tracy had a smile on her face after hearing what Arthur said, "are you serious? Mom, Dad, did you hear this?"

She was not the only one that was shocked. Arthur now knew that his Dragon Meditation Technique could make those who practice having a dragon familiar!

"Are they alive and coming from another realm, or does my technique create new dragons?"

Arthur did not know the answer to that question, but if it was the latter, that was a huge change!

Dragons were powerful, yet not many of them existed. If Arthur could find a way to create more dragons, then that could be game-changing!

Of course, dragons could reproduce themselves the normal way, yet it often did not work, as they were somewhat infertile, and their growing speed was as slow as a turtle.

"And I cannot get birth to anything too."

Tracy hugged the egg, "I will take good care of you until you hatch!"
