Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWodY1cBSPd
334Please respect copyright.PENANAfh6q7G9qea
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAt3ybaWW4Eb
334Please respect copyright.PENANAnIXgOoDVbf
At first, she was mad and then deathly worried. She was a commoner and Tech was apparently sick. What chance did they have against a noble? But thanks to her experience with Aeron and reassurance from Flamma, she decided to trust her familiar.
334Please respect copyright.PENANATaddCgNjag
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyLH3aKgFFI
Didn’t make her any least frightened for her. She did not want Flamma to get hurt. The thought made her weak in the knees. But she didn’t let these new feelings show. Flamma is still her familiar and she is still the master. She can’t let weakness show.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAomJeUqHWCf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMazULcQmau
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAeCODCt4VQs
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7vqKsESyQz
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAorOwwG7vaz
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhREAexfQ2w
Louise: “Don’t underestimate me, I’m perfectly fine. I can’t stay in bed forever. Besides, I need to get my hands on my fake.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAO152ZS9y7R
334Please respect copyright.PENANAHwaHBg8IMP
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgVfscipmj4
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvnblpsXZoY
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdzkEwiSThN
334Please respect copyright.PENANABR7TKuLSjr
Louise froze when she remembered what happened to it. She doesn’t want to lie to Flamma. There should be nothing but trust between a familiar and their master. But…she promised Aeron.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAmx5AhwAIwe
334Please respect copyright.PENANAiR3e5lSEvJ
As much as she liked Flamma, Aeron did far more for her. He taught her magic and freed her from her fate as a Zero. She had no choice.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5iI3rxhJXW
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtgrngj2G4W
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAJfrXRnCP6e
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhUl6Ij4EM6
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAqsjOntp7h8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbJsrYKmeIC
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAufCMhSfz9d
334Please respect copyright.PENANAT9LxTHPevQ
The day went by without much problem. It was almost normal. People were surprised by the structure built by Tech but a quick explanation by Raskreia calmed them down.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAVpJJ8YJ6o
334Please respect copyright.PENANAl6xdXQsxCI
Time flew by until it was time for the fight. Everyone was in attendance. Even Jake was sitting in a tree facing the fighting arena. Aeron is also in attendance, but in a place no one can spot or sense him.
334Please respect copyright.PENANApGGciTYzkv
The only person not here was Zander. But it didn’t take long for him to also show up. He opened a portal nearby and joined the crowd. Kirche almost immediately went to his side.
334Please respect copyright.PENANADyesf0PmMo
334Please respect copyright.PENANASMXzZOlfaY
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANATyz8Xht4yZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAoPBr9Fcy9p
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKRZDXNRsDv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOWAaA0qc1B
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAkOQJo9HwVZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAum2pC8USEl
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAt7FzHowcpr
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2fUroNmjD
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANArd4CdWp8Pi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAs4adtKstN2
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxLkxZDkb7s
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6AwJrW5WVx
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAEbNpARr4mz
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbK9nPad5Jw
Kirche: ‘For now.’
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAvemi6AVDb
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZFmI18Iip
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAa2iHDwwmmc
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzZjKGH8ImV
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
334Please respect copyright.PENANArbEbvmap3c
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVwF4USX6xO
The courtyard near the lab was filled. In addition to those mentioned, the student body, teachers, and servants alike all joined to spectate. Even Osmond was watching with bated breath. They all were wondering how these three would perform.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yjedcn5vM
334Please respect copyright.PENANAirONa5fFt7
No one has seen Tech or Flamma fight. Only a few knew Dove was Dovahkiin but even those few were curious how she would fair in her human form.
334Please respect copyright.PENANARJZljXTTrH
334Please respect copyright.PENANArSWXlgoEpm
At one end was Guiche, dramatically posing for the audience. On the other end was Flamma and Dove. Flamma had a unique red cleaver while Dove wielded a normal sword.
334Please respect copyright.PENANARrZoDpO047
334Please respect copyright.PENANAh0bT0uQPgE
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4gjN4nIptv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFzAkvkPdfD
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUXNC2sONGA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIzb8mgMaKY
Guiche: “I commend you two for not running away like some people. But since one of you seemed to be a coward, it’s up to me to begin.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANA1FC5TUrAy9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAoCSaCuXqvS
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
334Please respect copyright.PENANADuGNjY9Knx
334Please respect copyright.PENANAia981hDwUh
Before he could finish, a small round silver ball came out of the lab and floated over the place while projecting a few holo screens for all to see. Even more of these balls floated out and took a place all over the combat area. They then sent their live feed over to the one hanging over them before an enthusiastic voice boomed over them all.
334Please respect copyright.PENANALexKMu5u6A
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhUQbz6V3fW
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvYYQErj1d5
334Please respect copyright.PENANArtCVRz1qHs
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPaoBhW3BSv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtqbIwF3q9G
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMjoDm14egu
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjomXOa1yfc
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA85s8tTPlER
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4FLP5Jl0ax
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5qowkHZOJL
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdmx0r4nkJL
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
334Please respect copyright.PENANADvsv9J8fJs
334Please respect copyright.PENANAuG2lh7R6Yj
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
334Please respect copyright.PENANAy3I5yU0ViC
334Please respect copyright.PENANATBfkzELexn
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAftT3QET9Wb
334Please respect copyright.PENANAmqIooaOhvD
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
334Please respect copyright.PENANASX2nYTUwoc
334Please respect copyright.PENANANlRUCu3TvO
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0GJ7WpoqqW
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3WKdZMkz38
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAH5lLnpeoo5
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzX2t2oNVM4
The arms were a dark green while its body was mostly black with dark green armor parts on its chest, back, head, feet, shins, and knees. His eyes were covered with a black visor and his grin could be seen showing his confidence. He was pumped for this!
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9bIkgBECWc
334Please respect copyright.PENANADHPjAPh1FK
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAkiF8ilMfS7
334Please respect copyright.PENANAATcDE2AfN0
After his grand entrance was made, he told the visor to fold back into the helmet so he could look at Guiche with his eyes.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAeP2sRLuclw
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhKv72qXqWC
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANALTtFsiGyQ4
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIJls8RjtsR
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjCgwD3iPZ7
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdX076UeD1B
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvFKyfBDgk8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAuxU4S1ywHo
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKLBpSZ4VpX
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6KdKKPmBtZ
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFrRmEliCAA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwLg9b9UIc9
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWQl4f8m6qU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZqRjGYMbRR
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgUE9cZalWs
334Please respect copyright.PENANASrFrAMRhVw
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q4Ayf9MFm
334Please respect copyright.PENANAg5NNY9VOxu
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzbGfP9WVBU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtYnmxKJ3Dl
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANANutB0S0ILH
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXNug9YgIhL
He said smoothly before doing a mock bow and sending the mental command to bring down the visor and shut the mouthpiece. Tech is ready for battle.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKHFWnX5mll
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7abd1fyZtA
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOY38hAqS0j
334Please respect copyright.PENANAlQNZFdBv5I
Flamma: “Is that all?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANApjRjPYiKpC
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2ULxtC37th
Tech: “Same, not very impressive. They’re made of bronze, empty inside and there’s no extra support. Is this guy…even taking us seriously?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhvFm46gVMQ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAahwoqFJ9Yt
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGew2F5v2WB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAx7tsynDeaT
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjQZ83OFYsb
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVWKFAOLazz
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMlPXSyHusO
334Please respect copyright.PENANAaRpXsQ6Q6g
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAB4fg6QBlyV
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9X2C8clGb1
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOztkN8Y2LO
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWCKZmytGq9
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAq5V8xDhmyB
334Please respect copyright.PENANARrW75GYKFS
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
334Please respect copyright.PENANADLVkH9gPnS
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbgJapzAhIo
Dove: “After you.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5kQjAaWt7A
334Please respect copyright.PENANASfDycfkUz3
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKrDH6GpI54
334Please respect copyright.PENANADBisMUSJO2
Flamma walked forward and watched as the three Valkyries rushed toward her. Before they could come in for a strike, Flamma’s cleaver started to glow brightly with a malevolent red color. Steam surrounded the blade in a screen.
334Please respect copyright.PENANApw64XNInh9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyMFieNkE4Y
Flamma gracefully danced around the attacks from the Valkyries, leaving them wide open for attack. The rune on her left hand glowed the same color as the blade she was using. With a single swing using inhuman speed, she sliced the golems in half without much effort.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUKaJgMCMj3
334Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Q6YfQDZ3
Flamma: ‘I don’t remember swinging my arms that fast in my human form. As far as I know, I can only do this in my dragon form. Oh well, might as well use it to my advantage.’
334Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Lq2AQAvi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOzx9mDZv83
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZrqy47Phr8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAELTOFKGiu7
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQs5o0C9p2a
334Please respect copyright.PENANAB78d4GbbJ6
The blond declared while frantically waving his wand around. Six petals fell to the ground, summoning six more golems. This only caused Flamma to chuckle darkly.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3xApg1hmYu
334Please respect copyright.PENANAy6T7VWJ4lY
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzZBQCA2jvo
334Please respect copyright.PENANA1xIOSyBCV2
Dove: “Got it.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAuVaLCasrYh
334Please respect copyright.PENANA07AaRZsukJ
Dove dashed into the fray, faster than most could see. She quickly and efficiently tore apart 3 of the golems. As for the other 3…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAE8L075hSP8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAiqQ06eCLsF
A deafening chorus of metal crashing against metal echoed in the air. The crowd blinked before they turned to where the golems were. The last three were a mangled mass of wrenched armor parts, crashed into the wall between the wind and fire towers.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAa2kDvJ2EAb
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAspyifNJGm
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
334Please respect copyright.PENANArIUgFMVtqj
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKJUEP9rPZf
Above Flamma’s ass, was a massively scaled tail with metal spikes on its top and concentrated into a massive club of pain at the end. The tail swung upward before slamming down onto the dirt, causing a small tremor.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtNZiELrIzM
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwyVYiOLB0G
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
334Please respect copyright.PENANAlgmwf5Mr09
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6rpEdUzGEw
But that wasn’t all, Flamma’s cheeks were covered in scales. The whites of her eyes were now abyssal black. Her mouth was curled into a smirk before she spoke with a volume that boomed louder than her voice would seem to manage.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVmXGkKm6TM
334Please respect copyright.PENANAY56GJYlXV4
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ7hq93wgq
334Please respect copyright.PENANAmQvdnuZvoe
Dove: “Agreed.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANABwnCwBkriG
334Please respect copyright.PENANApOKk8p8wKO
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANACB7mySyXkP
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtpoZe4Iuj2
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAcZVvZmg0py
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgsZ5ufpOkd
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5V9iujyRzZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAoZNjfhwjHD
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAEueH4plTJX
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVaOVxlIuEE
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdOOzUQtZzm
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGnuwt4qPcW
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwEQ7FEewM0
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIXdC3LR48k
Guiche swallowed any raising fear and summoned the rest of his Valkyries. His rose wand now fully out of petals. 13 golems now faced Tech.
334Please respect copyright.PENANABFlUdEDuej
334Please respect copyright.PENANA78nsvev2e9
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUTpYJV6VP3
334Please respect copyright.PENANAlO1dw8brMY
Tech did a mock yawn, cutting Guiche off. Tech charged and rammed one down before stopping on it with his heavy left foot, crushing it in one go. Then he pushed his right arm to the one in front of him, caving in the golems chest.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjzj4QADRyg
Next, he ducked and spun left, swinging his arms out to push the rest back. Then, using that momentum, elbowed another with his left arm. Using the bent back arm, he grabbed another. Once he had a hold of its smaller frame, he threw at 2 nearby golems. Knocking two down with the one. He continued toying with and destroying the golems with no issue.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA51zQloi7QC
But Tech wasn’t done.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6WqVYtYk19
Tech: "Time to change things up."334Please respect copyright.PENANA8bLdT7e5rf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZNQXmonLA0
Both hands then shifted quickly into big maces. Tech swung these new weapons at four charging golems. Needless to say, they were torn to shreds by the force alone.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXv63blUsh0
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYlpFMprYfm
When Guiche saw the carnage, he ordered his remaining four Golems to back away so he could think of an effective plan. But coming up with one was hard. He thought the boy was merely bluffing about it being "made just for him" but now…now he's paying for it.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxd9Lsx3rKL
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUOb8L1qitX
As for Tech, he was grinning like crazy. In the frame of 45 seconds, he had demolished 8 of his golems with ease. Admittedly they were faster than they appeared, but he was even faster. Brute Fist was designed to be a brawling Exo-Ware; so he gave it fast reflexs and proximity sensors to warn the user of an incoming object or person. Faced with his unmatched intellect, he had to say it.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAioQOqF3V8e
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOnAPqW2hwJ
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7T8KBKAdN7
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5o6VxlXJsQ
Deciding that Guiche’s three-second break is up, Tech attacks again, but with another little surprise. Sure it was a Brawling Exo-Ware, but that didn't mean it didn’t have long-ranged weapons.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPHbUGsGcHy
334Please respect copyright.PENANAY8FSmZ75qg
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQRpn1G7eel
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9qTBK3vqy7
The two hands then transformed into cannons. He then loaded them with compressed air rounds, so as to not rip through the golems and into the observers.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8miuq29cxj
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPhm9r2Xpmm
He took aim at the first golem and fired, sending it flying with a pushed in chest. He then fired his other arm at one with a shield raised. The shield did take the brunt of it, but it also caved in and bent the arm back and hit the wielder in a way that made it useless.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYWwsPe749v
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQpbDcllzp1
His first cannon then reloaded after his second shot and fired at the next, ripping off its legs. Done with the cannons, Tech reverted his hands back to normal. But he wasn’t done.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgPtAzV9L1z
334Please respect copyright.PENANAc731W9c8pq
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
334Please respect copyright.PENANA89tgUAjiYk
334Please respect copyright.PENANATG3coliE2H
Tech: "Get over here!"
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgaBCUaPY2t
334Please respect copyright.PENANADj8UbLNnrQ
The hand was then trusted forward. It flew with a laser chain holding it and used it to grab the golem. Guiche was so in shock that he didn't have time to tell any commands to his Valkyries at all.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXqkHAtPGUq
334Please respect copyright.PENANAK7H7JwtYfC
When his valkyrie was pulled back to Tech, he merely crushed it and tossed it aside. Job down, he calmly walked towards a now petrified Guiche.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGAqPb854EC
334Please respect copyright.PENANAa8v2WGBcDc
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAt0ZEwU3tE5
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQvOyVpmoAf
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvjrnA7J1ii
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQEfdjmFQ1p
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAg3NXMpk2s2
334Please respect copyright.PENANAmv6IL28iCo
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAqMFJkfEatD
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4RTiRgDeiz
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAnx8CpkYh6z
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXrDt65F3Vm
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAeLwIukktEk
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVjXtCzXQRj
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjw5TVP2ZvS
334Please respect copyright.PENANArlg1vgzUP0
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAHIv6y87NmJ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAlMql9NBvXg
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAqXstIBCobY
334Please respect copyright.PENANABjqEjyvFUx
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANANF71onQiav
334Please respect copyright.PENANACm0NeyOLc7
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFDkWcG6kf5
334Please respect copyright.PENANAReXAUXEjET
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

The crowd was stunned by the display of power. Some for different reasons than others.

For the nobles, this was a wake-up call. Sure, Flamma wasn’t fully human but Dove and Tech were human to them. Despite being commoners, they had the ability and/or resources to challenge them.

Jake was surprised by just how advanced Tech’s arsenal was. If his world was that far ahead, even he would have trouble with it.

Tabitha originally followed Kirche just out of habit. She didn’t really care about the duel. But now she’s glad she came. Tech has caught her eye. The knowledge the boy must have to build all of this in one day. It’s truly fascinating.

Zander has seen many things but even he was impressed by the technology on display. He’s interested in what else Tech can do. Maybe he can even help his own realm.

Kirche only came here to spend more time with Zander. She didn’t care about this fight one bit. Tech did impress her but Flamma and Dove drew her attention more. She couldn’t help but see them as rivals for Zander’s affections. And with the skills they’ve shown, Kirche may have to step it up a notch to keep ahead.

Raskreia was possibly the only one not too surprised by the events. The only thing that did surprised her was Flamma’s dragon nature. It was much like her own, there’s even an air of divinity to her. Rask will definitely ask her about it later.

Osmund was deeply worried. Tech has shown to be very dangerous if trifled with and his full abilities haven’t been shown. With the support of Louise’s familiar and a maid with sword skills far above the norm, there is much to worry about.

Aeron wasn’t impressed by the maids but Tech could be trouble. He can tell that he will get even stronger in the future. Worse still, he has a good relationship with Flamma. The only other familiar that has some pull on Louise. Flamma alone was bad enough but her with Tech will be an issue. This is one weed he feels the need to cut quickly.

Miss Longuevuille was unsure what to think. In the beginning, she thought the old man made a mistake betting his money on the commoners. She was greatly mistaken. This had her shaken up for sure.

Colbert was amazed by Tech’s abilities but his focus was on Flamma’s runes. They were quite strange and somewhat familiar. He will be paying a visit to the library after this.

Louise was amazed. Yes, Tech was incredible and Dove impressive. Both beings she summoned and that is something to be happy about. But her focus was on Flamma. She wasn’t a commoner, but somehow part dragon. Her first familiar, the one that accepted her.

She could have easily refused like the other dragon but instead chose her despite having the power to refuse. Everyone else probably saw her abyssal eyes and felt fear. But for Louise, she thought they were the most beautiful things she had ever seen.

But more than any of the ones before, the one most affected was Siesta. It was a dream. A part of her didn’t want to believe what she saw because it was so impossible. But it happened. In all rights, she helped make history happen. But at the moment, she didn’t care. She was touched that they would go so far for her. She has truly never had friends like them.

She ran up to her fellow maids and jumped into their arms, giving them the warmest hug she could manage. They readily returned it.

Tech heard her and turned around. He waved to them to follow him inside. The maid trio went inside and the door shut behind them. As it does, Louise can’t help but feel a bit left out.

But she pushed down any jealousy and dispersed alongside the rest of the crowd. She had another familiar she could talk to. Maybe he’ll join her when she goes and confronts her fake.

Author Note: I'm alive and in a better state than before. I hope you like the length expansion of this story. But sadly, this doesn't mean I'll be able to update this on the regular. I hope I can since I love writing it but life will be a bitch so you know how it is.

Tell me what you think of the story so far and the implied pairings. I'll see you next time, if there is one. Thanks for reading. 334Please respect copyright.PENANAgPqUE48KuR
