Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm2scqyxih
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5wezVu5Bf
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9CX4STfov
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7joWD8MaC
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqQvbwNO6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83NrULraEu
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB41p8TxJKq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7fGSODa9R
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn0ZIHdXgg
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGA9nTlgXF
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjevxISDbpa
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AENFl388o
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.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlR4rzsx1w
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0pGJl3Da
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekVSOhX1uK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabOAi4YhiY
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLvwqm5Pc7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXvqXlHnA6
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFzRiOfprt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaSdLHQcbf
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd97tT37ng
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRDd84jt8F
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6TmuUIANd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacRYYxBKnP
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klkNe8O5A
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZfWptYV0z
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2k55mwkLM
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsuMOdeMLy
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztpxdoRtP6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh6TLFdOMS
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZq4cdvn4e
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXJ5pWFNdH
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b4yE5c8Zk
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwczb9P4an
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hQcvAGrZx
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPmYL4HiPp
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlglbjjbkR7
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopNkGUGtUr

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1wyD1yKw3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NlCX4ioAm
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgXG6PtSYh
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPSQgY5Eph
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCo4Lmhh9X
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6l0jHsq9V
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaaT5yN6PX

Kirche: ‘For now.’
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXUKAM7Mx7

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkk29f8gb
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xfOVZtXtM
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ey7hernn
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9YVODS8cb
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdgXlf1abt
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ILj8MY1VO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXK6pjmKEj
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN9ujVZe7J
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLImeMboj5Y
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgajgyIXwK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OYnG7h8Ji
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlNDcJLWtS
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKH6g7yBDI
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.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA7Hf2Y8yV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3lf5c59Px
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”

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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqUGsKAvIz
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTJgtfkBLE
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf96BnGQsB
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DMphqtkyC
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRxkctq95q
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD14DFV9VKl
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h5ji03DR4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z0vmmj7jU
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxfNuT8C22
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLV8Pxfe1
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ElxAydJsh
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9LtWFGIfg
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4qRZU8kWC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgpS8mr9q3
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qq4PFG5De
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuLai1Hh7V
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOgQ0qclJO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrC2TC1XuS
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkmHIp2uyk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLn7KXL70v
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTodxk4Mx2
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SJzbMC0XD
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj630zC7GUd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv2u5ZpKBO
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!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepbtvDhlmV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhiLQccMqE
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyduRjZIWKO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr2D8KK9es
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Or1a4eyf
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmagMmsoZF
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbJqPikxAd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCQoAgr7fZ
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomPdfnwEPn
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZLcJjgDV
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXOfzjBagr
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1SmUNKCef
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41MmMdj5z4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfmpgcH7LT
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnPAbjvtUV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe7qFf0wpD
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqObD8fJNn
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU78iYfiEH
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHwzVN3dSO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2EHJHq4PI
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ZT7zJ5Gm
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOi1CdkIft
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBpdhTWg81
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Ssc3krMK
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMvyKn8Vox
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5n8MTbhTF
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKaSosqekD
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVu6bKXDN1
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrt0pmGVtV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcxCthBhG9
Flamma: “Is that all?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3XgBDGlW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8P9Kfez9N
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?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB55YAJAPV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkU74EP2Rn
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt1Mqa9ZrE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkUVFwUEQy
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0VesPygEF
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkWCvJNeGG
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTebxIDVmN3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRFPHaBet5
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoP3Y9pqWN
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDO2muTLmz
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyU2Q9KzMl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Dfx7tLBA
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkOxALq5TL
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD16lgqpHif
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ82mzKmvyi
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBJ1IwohVS
Dove: “After you.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJkfjsHLhb

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yjSKBh5J
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizDeGimYMU
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13H2pnhGGo
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf5NnmsVFC
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDd9V9jSdV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaziGuiXUyI
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.’
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1d5k1szjP
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0urC5SjAM
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnRdz8GIs
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjiBDwmB7E
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnwoULtQuI
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVpgnm6Woo
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn8SsaMbH0
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMihyZwvMd
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT8dfl3b6r
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBhg6rJQ4L
Dove: “Got it.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKHtiX0gQA
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtiy2Vh5Rq
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…
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvzclFkR2C
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlswYXe8yQ
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw0jUFTJfV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYiNB7ntYZ
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcX952RDkg
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQULL2YWwU
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblprgUxVSq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpofY6AkTmY
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDf5fjse6B
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL0NBsGfhj
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdDTBGcBW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJvnvGRieg
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXywbn44ty7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzOQB9rC5B
Dove: “Agreed.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQ6FNd86H
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhylUBFVex
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeqYvsipR3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2vrgHz81n
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmmSiSLTLJ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7zPk2uecU
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjA3oh8Ywd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kAL9KEb39
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeIhtiFwZy
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKliH6F5RU
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCuUiekxWe
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB67H9BEIJ7
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfo1gHnLvk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW8b4KOcI4
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJKXfdPON3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqay9GMmy4R
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAePvvJeKs
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmUVfpg97M
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lxe1Wo4NQ
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUhU6Bxvoh
But Tech wasn’t done.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7q8fzC7H0
Tech: "Time to change things up."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy4HhP4iyB
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJeTJt7Cjr
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9E8xczG6V
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6VI15KvOX
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRisjyqO5YQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jqbFppN8F
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ9X9f03hW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3MX6aqLo3
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8q0S3eTCC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL71l3BHuF
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8YkADo5SI
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPkMIQmGCl
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O0wLpT4BA
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabydDz6FQb
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMPYTHOfPQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fSdzTlcP
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJvwOzyL58
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXNhiOFER
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBREsdWa1P
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3DjHr6dng
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFzHFJLWr9
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd8ZE5GoG9
Tech: "Get over here!"
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHXxfZK1IE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzvbCtsjF
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1e8r31LfQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJScUOBGDhH
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7hTW5vcE3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pHdpILau
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dxNm2ZCXb

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch4Ndk28Dd

Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”

Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.

Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”

Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”

With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

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.

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.
