Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96WrhusQO1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMZmy0FTsI
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSUg9FsIac
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym4ML7YWyN
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8KeaLnCB3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEAyqcOk4S
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qub1lUXLv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUbGEuNAnB
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd3N0HYgrX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYs0hi4pc4
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0r1AgNT8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAuORad2Gf
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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzuTcjXRqa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfWa30ti5
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77mwB6TgHv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEQE4Z2ls5
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeyMA6ISYN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1dkGlrXsV
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhdnUKL0l9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20oiH5kJqg
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQpsXc4xBr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeeQmsShnw
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xEFHSHvS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUexauJi5vl
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMTWsAeqe4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjCd23AbCf
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugrBs3CbyV

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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUbuToph7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlipFOGuYKE
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5G3o9Iags
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevbW2VAYya
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK6InBIHHA
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpttWYbesbS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7GBHCT4VU
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Hkigp5h9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTD3TaMeId
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn12F3rSq4g

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72WO8erP8D
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jzXxpYs4I
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOe6XlD7k2
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ZBzOL4vW
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpLZgWq1Xl

Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNb3eCeh2C
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FhicSEMmC
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsv5EjrjKy
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaN6qh5pGA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI4hubTzwG
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7MQPfvOSb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLtp6PWj2X
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0qKrRfkqh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFK1ggj3eJ
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA3BA7raYr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YPnBUPkiR
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhg36JRDnH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq2phepVzq
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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSo93dorwV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh23k79NtOo

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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAINry9yVb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLbjOJyUvL
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrc8W6bgXt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSwfdJb306
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4ZEzp5ux
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHT1nex9lu
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yqoc5FHIZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1MCeXu8ja
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXyHrvGtd3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU3p6G7SMq
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDmv08f9bl
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrEKX5Te1s
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWIUSXwX16
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ObOOp7Je
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNhXvDiVDb

“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsHqRo1ihp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6shzsEuk8H
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRIfOlvriC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLUdMFfelX
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qf6Pbo2LK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBV8qSYSrj
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GbGrs6fvG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy8g3tqucR
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!
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngDBbKhh2C
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuwt45UWQO
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoNGx2ZQV3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8y6eT4Jo
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4nWCuNUYN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTkvh77Zr3
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFbeXGFUEi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNSFJabfKh
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Syt4davZh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzY90nkz6I
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSoodjRXYc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWk7wLyQz9
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXGUjDfy16
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZnhLVUK75
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK1z85gq0t
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq4szbIzCB
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvOtkSFSY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSW3VgSDB2
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzc7M82VuD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5cDP5K7S
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdpsLkxl83
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xWlEIqmQs
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthDM2TGUgj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJrf7BdwJD
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJHRtUqIh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FLRTYRMri
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwSWRtgab
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8dAWOMVol
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdtFtOjUWn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zf1e0qVwK
Flamma: “Is that all?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLtKRdXa5
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaWT2dw6ss
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?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxn3lTwWdc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFjCyQ4aa
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKljvYf0eA7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ESnlXAFt
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dOkqikTzl
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE2mVVG9Mv
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oAKzpkIme
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS3DLv8rkx
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjro7czgeGT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5fJTZDppu
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOazckVqAy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCYM1ahsgB
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ891MNtXOAN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P5K5gbRAx
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY7fC64cwT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dGPsUShsb
Dove: “After you.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3J1iMcJjL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSz5cAYDfr
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwgG7i4aEV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJXvrYt6e
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKET3aVrls
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ6sZZPYNQ
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuvVY7lOGs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW2OLn2pIG
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.’
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PYPahy61F
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5lZ9ItYRW
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqAkJQy2ss
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ISeYKcJGp
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtSE7ippX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ1BbV3tFu
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyczBRzcHs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA7Np2skpR
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYJaCDw9wi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMzftUtGLp
Dove: “Got it.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75wMOfswpw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMMHgo3Gr5
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…
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIumkeaMRD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlhvQL0MB
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81klaSQR5j
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR3TXrrC73
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BMad9Wsmz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgIg5wgi81
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZvwRnKa63
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhLd28O7G
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZIruQfjY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzjxHbpbim
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4avNe5Pel
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYu5BotJ7n
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMKlYApPGP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qo6SliQJU
Dove: “Agreed.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGhDCUFge3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFbv8nzyN6
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ1VYLUSA7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HrtAS1aYp
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPShA3msoOY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRWa7dGJH9
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUYFkLhp88
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7juveuzkZN
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhyBEwd6jQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWcIju2mt9
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSgs6XJxlg
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCdm1hsdp
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkwrhFLOvP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBCqn0chps
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95kKmzHQ63
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VC8dX6NJe
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnkYXEu5jS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7x8APrZvJ
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCr9X9v0w6
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSkJRtLxnI
But Tech wasn’t done.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nJ1XvXGc2
Tech: "Time to change things up."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjARv4r1bf0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK1DlrgDWB
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsfVUAXouC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELmb1XlwKn
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwFptpu3BY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMFYjsZ2ll
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSTwIkQOJq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg7lyqD2jM
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzUaIcRQbG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9X4yGA0Z0
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UGeEMsTlo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueCkHhLUr5
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx45gyxWi8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAgYKOjo5X
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6YdGpdQT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtemRWcHS4
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8AQ3bQ5zN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExle3bjMo
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1TM0g1Y1b
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEGeUM91js
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hr980LnZ8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypEol1xc1u
Tech: "Get over here!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQTJeQtcA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTxIVPwxE2
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c4b2LxNI2
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXiI6PV7t7
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0okCDJ4qsp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjasikAHca3
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYcZQqpEuJ

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.”

Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”

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.

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. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNWfZcIWXa
