Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVbeEFhiTzt
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuO8TChHu51
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgYK9nAuz6Y
134Please respect copyright.PENANALtGUVP73pm
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9tnUvloCwf
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJeD4Rblkyq
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWbgO7SJOJL
134Please respect copyright.PENANAlHW1CJ1Yc9
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA8r5MuI5elW
134Please respect copyright.PENANAt7u61sDMEU
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAEtxrCKTiZo
134Please respect copyright.PENANADr3OFqd0fg
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.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA47Hq5liB28
134Please respect copyright.PENANAAXNPuXXFnd
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5r7x0zTl6j
134Please respect copyright.PENANACROTITdCoP
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAyUBsqOuCiU
134Please respect copyright.PENANABlm9Rb9cpz
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAb0PfISo1du
134Please respect copyright.PENANAI9KGLaQl0v
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6374ZEBbJD
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7VAeXsLH8D
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGdwc3LFEZM
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIP3fdImWAX
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnF5icqFnon
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6CCPOmXcjb
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
134Please respect copyright.PENANARKofy661ou
134Please respect copyright.PENANAKSwPBwG77P
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhugHGDjydz
134Please respect copyright.PENANAISDjeZE4QH
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuEKq0JQ35w
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsRY5Wb9GSP
134Please respect copyright.PENANAmpaIOPq6fy
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdeSJyZDoc9
134Please respect copyright.PENANA91fd2wdZX1
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANACAcp712yzG
134Please respect copyright.PENANApLZH51rJni
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAyHCnYsRIP8
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGvKHaB9Qs5
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q8xvHrkbq
134Please respect copyright.PENANArGs86jIKsX
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9e8NWyzlB2
134Please respect copyright.PENANAU1zPsR2Z3n
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAwGRB7gSjKj
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnYgme6csQV
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMApiyKbeSD
134Please respect copyright.PENANAc4ptPhw2gE
Kirche: ‘For now.’
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWmLfO60MXZ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAP4AQaGFxdI
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7zdFOyZiFF
134Please respect copyright.PENANAE6BQcURjU2
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAH9vd20atfu
134Please respect copyright.PENANADZszHtEYdX
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zej84AVZM
134Please respect copyright.PENANAK4FRFoG4Bd
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA1IE3o3keHe
134Please respect copyright.PENANA98nXk77r49
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnqabyLrz5F
134Please respect copyright.PENANARCacfURaqs
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAryA5UgyRG2
134Please respect copyright.PENANAHTI5j3DUGz
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAC9rpXVeUUA
134Please respect copyright.PENANAPeUkpiaoi7
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.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQhYiZjxMfA
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnQA4KFtOud
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA97TwXHYzPb
134Please respect copyright.PENANArfEJqiKuhi
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhPK7Pjt0AM
134Please respect copyright.PENANASSwR5Fct4I
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsFIp4VHXqG
134Please respect copyright.PENANAiNVhsBleSM
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgsTiTufImQ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMu4B5jkDdR
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbBNOymOd53
134Please respect copyright.PENANAtkA42WAIPu
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
134Please respect copyright.PENANABorFR7Gtkx
134Please respect copyright.PENANArQ2LnDWszh
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhIPEgZUAcf
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsW2hq5w5HF
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdNk0G3qMox
134Please respect copyright.PENANAoqtQPnBbiB
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZhUU0YXI
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMsUpVKxOfE
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIOzfm4d95K
134Please respect copyright.PENANAXlqzhSdpju
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQwA1Y5pbDy
134Please respect copyright.PENANARTy8Qlmdxv
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6u8MjLDhQ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAwdN9aesGcS
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAu4otxIwjML
134Please respect copyright.PENANAPxaryQ7b3X
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!
134Please respect copyright.PENANAe8dt078HDa
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdte0eeHGgf
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0IevCRQOPK
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0tiTyw7mpf
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFSCPh6mbdK
134Please respect copyright.PENANAkPETsfaa2L
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJlK9sJCEt6
134Please respect copyright.PENANAC6dFVzuRH6
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAiIRisus0VM
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5n9kJZEXLi
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAd9ZKk3SnPi
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGGT9jxrWJ0
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAqQGDGz9h5C
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbTLiHopW4T
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAvRa84IOvbM
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWQqiEKdNT5
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWJudaOtLjz
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWUg31hTEdr
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9gPSvsyqWU
134Please respect copyright.PENANAC5CeJxljqA
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
134Please respect copyright.PENANAai6P3WaeJr
134Please respect copyright.PENANAkKzRLR2C5L
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAiYGR4ou7Nn
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3NDNAcQg36
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAh2Dw6sdhyw
134Please respect copyright.PENANAOQcZEsjrQL
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVv0qMwfpD2
134Please respect copyright.PENANASF8UJ8rf8v
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAzu6t4d6hEE
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdQdW7OS2tR
Flamma: “Is that all?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAwCqoyNpQ2l
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhWzRand4J2
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?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA08E0Iw8ahh
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbskkfWceWQ
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5yeKnNMpis
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0wgfKHSmNZ
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAvp2WImmdnB
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGQi0NJABr0
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAH3IQo7poTQ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMlWC8ok4rP
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAm7yBC3Pwsv
134Please respect copyright.PENANAe4GKQSRD8I
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAtWaHkLGXBc
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuazhdaagtC
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
134Please respect copyright.PENANATlgrh2t6OS
134Please respect copyright.PENANAemCIxOeK2y
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAeOl5oOvIE9
134Please respect copyright.PENANAA68Mjvx26n
Dove: “After you.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuxbi52RfKN
134Please respect copyright.PENANAeS2lXd0Tof
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjZWtG3kase
134Please respect copyright.PENANASprdMviitz
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAc9T8bi4FFO
134Please respect copyright.PENANAy433xS7Dcs
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6gcpVYheKA
134Please respect copyright.PENANAxYW67sbGeQ
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.’
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGnwzQHdAwu
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVaheRxN1TR
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAu6FFOSkyPY
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjvM67LrBlM
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQPK6EP0Fk0
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWXtDIxzpAg
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbfeQ8SIFnH
134Please respect copyright.PENANAlxcDp12DZ2
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQU2lAWucYG
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWqV4EEJuM4
Dove: “Got it.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdjogrCce6p
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbdKpRHGvOP
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…
134Please respect copyright.PENANAUnm8mHG41K
134Please respect copyright.PENANA08EWrvaaU2
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAo5isIWxCsk
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJf7LDodeqx
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
134Please respect copyright.PENANANr9UTVwqUH
134Please respect copyright.PENANAKhvnYcwfj4
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAxjV36QLukA
134Please respect copyright.PENANAqZnUP4Tt6E
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
134Please respect copyright.PENANAd7IdGWbdQK
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdk25BUWetm
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA97NwoS7wVz
134Please respect copyright.PENANAAxMJYSCWbQ
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAAwvZ56UfOx
134Please respect copyright.PENANAT1wilMqCLO
Dove: “Agreed.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAzTJRt18Ab3
134Please respect copyright.PENANAh1OWQvOnCX
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQfc2SWR6px
134Please respect copyright.PENANASUes3bQmsK
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAo1Bkr43zuU
134Please respect copyright.PENANArHOU3mE14p
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9XcaR32iJF
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVD5UI0IE8a
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAmMpoipbuxe
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsXY3KkCTxW
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAs2bbZuJWD7
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgJZJMz364P
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAcSbuojxEbQ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnZqsBQUkRC
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAoi1ee9dnYP
134Please respect copyright.PENANAtbhJ84jsyN
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgW7WVZf55t
134Please respect copyright.PENANAujlWkjqhLk
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3K8cIVrYpF
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5N4wbQn2j3
But Tech wasn’t done.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnmNJMdx9TY
Tech: "Time to change things up."134Please respect copyright.PENANAYJPFzJAe9z
134Please respect copyright.PENANArRwFwbX7AM
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA8AbgnUwXm1
134Please respect copyright.PENANAesXCyB6QEw
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAZnNcc7d2fO
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFe0FiztibC
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA2CkwfrsA6a
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFdKzFIlHAw
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
134Please respect copyright.PENANApGoQBjeT8F
134Please respect copyright.PENANA24cWxrvbtn
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAOqxpNsxUfQ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAqf2T5uxtlv
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
134Please respect copyright.PENANAtKTu9Nieth
134Please respect copyright.PENANArBaZHtGEUd
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjTJwJj4SWC
134Please respect copyright.PENANAfRPFlvvIuc
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgB03T9LJQf
134Please respect copyright.PENANAPHKnt98UVS
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnkf52AnFBB
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGCpXJt8P9F
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
134Please respect copyright.PENANAl3HSYnf8mJ
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5kczL2nRhV
Tech: "Get over here!"
134Please respect copyright.PENANARjyLqHvpdC
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5OrdXpxgJo
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANARK8bfthEoZ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgtL7FcMeJx
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.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbZrASxQoiC
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhpUEx6KaVw
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
134Please respect copyright.PENANApLVRLVwRUu
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7IAcm9bDM5
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
134Please respect copyright.PENANA2QPOOeDmXP
134Please respect copyright.PENANABb7dKkRDOk
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA1u4BPST5NJ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIFDlskJjNF
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANARaGjuKODTQ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAakivVHwPVD
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
134Please respect copyright.PENANA8hovvdYbT4
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuSPOUFkyZm
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJWEg5BNgQd
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsNshA47Hj3
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGr5DyfBXV0
134Please respect copyright.PENANA1ieAwaiFdc
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIh9Zua9eS9
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6awgaaGDl
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANARa9sB2p0YL
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9q15qvbGXB
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9QHQ2kBWBf
134Please respect copyright.PENANAp52gKqWzs5
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAYojEQS90ZZ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAXofnMsAXi5
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdWktXucWVl

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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANANqXYYw6ums
