Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAN3wYab30qe
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGxEMCvNYXo
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
135Please respect copyright.PENANACXgR5xTWrt
135Please respect copyright.PENANAA8Ht7Oypd1
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlsKA6sCucd
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3foVwqTAke
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAAcAjwe8H54
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUpkuj3IIFp
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZsXOr7wV2o
135Please respect copyright.PENANAChS14B4ibp
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANARLhkH1jLMP
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjOfxdwIsc7
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5pbX6s9NUx
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmkNKUdVENQ
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlr86NFT1Wf
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkTjusCtGM0
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANACSjjLhQylv
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfehzxM1jZd
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3DwZSvlfpv
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7FeLkDFlZt
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANApa9pBVRp9I
135Please respect copyright.PENANA14idu50v5c
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANASW7nQfWMZn
135Please respect copyright.PENANAS0QfdsZyHb
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHQESg7NF2o
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxiIMyHQyK5
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1CPTcBTOWq
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiiA7kG0aXj
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWbcBsNsH8k
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMGN2gaEeC3
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANARFutV5nSLX
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAAa2ccmxUB3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ4Yz20WIM
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAi4ANWbHRb3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzyy8DeXSTi
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXCxshlaAEv
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxtG8aTMiby
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvVblQFiXtj
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1r8IWToRhH
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA12a18LisFf
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6BjDecCO7f
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJqHbv20vjy
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtDbU9gG7ev
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAI5tKui8F7U
135Please respect copyright.PENANAAp7HKwhFuc
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeNlAJStiZw
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcAHXkct9H2
Kirche: ‘For now.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmxiyMqrs6W
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlj93NbrBjd
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXXiJlPlpYz
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjgV7ytch5j
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQArPQlyJNx
135Please respect copyright.PENANApWmue0noVW
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAoC0ggvDBas
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx7hjaWyyZG
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4NT42IWULg
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnFBz7OhEWd
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANACHOumAqtu9
135Please respect copyright.PENANAntrZc6ncqx
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANANCh2BiM8mz
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ3r0w7ue1
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlRPPOwPMm2
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfFMko7ZEvn
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPWJOQra33z
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYhlvqkxiiT
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcjAqDsrdkR
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ec5Mvja1w
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWT9UX2gq0K
135Please respect copyright.PENANAADWi7FwI28
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFkHkFGRKcH
135Please respect copyright.PENANALnPHgenlKi
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
135Please respect copyright.PENANAS2DJtldvx5
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeugoU9aePe
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuBoai9edvK
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGoNWIy8RoN
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgVxgLhvtz0
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhPO2UQhryP
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeWG7Xu9RTP
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXISG8Eacsh
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANALD4eyE8d9T
135Please respect copyright.PENANADjp2mTGBGC
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAseMw7J02Qg
135Please respect copyright.PENANA9V8Kz015sk
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUdpb5TVFMR
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsnbJ6Qcdqa
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
135Please respect copyright.PENANArS5MaF5EV5
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgq5jvKB4oc
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsvrFinYjQ6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Xcgflemj
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
135Please respect copyright.PENANARBOK4D7meG
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZTNn5TftJF
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!
135Please respect copyright.PENANA0VVDB2Dvth
135Please respect copyright.PENANAC0GqpwGS9P
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
135Please respect copyright.PENANASIfIujYynb
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYfGXjzdPiY
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAph1M8uuK3z
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVi0G2dtu6q
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANADVjmSCTKRT
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8e4hOSbx4J
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAR1jL92hb3m
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3jP2J7bIdc
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAylfaDFw3zF
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgsIZXDtQRK
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANArwXluD0Ejn
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEmyiSmcJtd
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAY6G0DTvWmF
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHUPqai0dSh
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtIjOWSjZlU
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7ICGbE2Lbw
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcXwMZNp7Qc
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7dJLKrQdSo
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdf4gp7cFDF
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4sls7MrmAO
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdcXj3dvb5o
135Please respect copyright.PENANAECEVhmfHD2
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANApbaqfusODx
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVSKRlPSyuR
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzP346iOozj
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUdMtSuaCyr
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
135Please respect copyright.PENANALlM28XJghr
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsRaT4LBEx6
Flamma: “Is that all?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcTI5iMK9yy
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdxDXEsuRbn
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?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANABS0BZnAmaq
135Please respect copyright.PENANAu5xmCvt1le
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlAiHEfEqD6
135Please respect copyright.PENANA2VA7i1xPBv
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA9eKJKijn4Y
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJqB2UEffj7
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlW51KjoPr8
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwBEWt7ALFw
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlg8Y046Bfw
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVAsxlWjIcA
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANApGSpMkYCgw
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGEgxqSz5wk
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANATLBams05C4
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQeijUHa2no
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHGRyXQMrsV
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1qycX3czbF
Dove: “After you.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgBaG5T73NZ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgoQEPFyWkd
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANArbYanGD7Jp
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGyqwPE5S1p
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKCoHtTVJ5l
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdmHsCd4XNY
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAAHz33Mw43W
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFstGmANYm5
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.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANASlchfnCTte
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXOnkX0wgrL
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAA6YWYHsVzI
135Please respect copyright.PENANAn7k0MEkE33
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAofYs6vCcQh
135Please respect copyright.PENANAICyPS27FBK
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANARJx6mJS1EH
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJfUB4azSOp
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPZmVUEqMe1
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUp0ZvR5NgC
Dove: “Got it.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfrMZXoZYPr
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOdNaiiYf4y
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…
135Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Hp1aUU7v
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtnKOdNIdve
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWDFEjNV8In
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKu2f42SNl3
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAN7P7LKAIV8
135Please respect copyright.PENANAv8RW1Cmkhp
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMNFE0GeogT
135Please respect copyright.PENANAqfXUuT1qcK
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQFgfBG6laM
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyoWHhCGCjC
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAs5dm71aXEr
135Please respect copyright.PENANA9BM0pp0DQ3
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANArKDdliKbuc
135Please respect copyright.PENANAO0KhzK5qII
Dove: “Agreed.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGGJGLGfZqQ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjdFWT17Tif
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAatr70PnYOL
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZCIVOXdtvX
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYimvl1ERaB
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPmUvvWIECe
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANArJ9mluW82i
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8hn66H4q2J
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyaZWypvlJ6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWMueTuxFMF
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOnO0ZFWgA6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwqlT7NFk3U
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtOefHGx0cO
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYefqXsXVNh
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJKu4TzDiLW
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjwm9hTORxI
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA0EMSTAdFMF
135Please respect copyright.PENANAm4v0cy3CXx
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwJBlNpQq69
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAufTeFpAvkO
But Tech wasn’t done.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYxJgWkRr7t
Tech: "Time to change things up."135Please respect copyright.PENANA1EyMTrdL0I
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGIOQVQf7AA
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwxxMW6Fqjb
135Please respect copyright.PENANAViog5oUp6M
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwi6m0y9ckM
135Please respect copyright.PENANABPyLILsfTv
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA2V2pycjWiz
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkzmfbYIurJ
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
135Please respect copyright.PENANAK1mPkDn66S
135Please respect copyright.PENANAE0mVSu9IGs
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAt1DZg2njBb
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkHsfmX1cOP
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
135Please respect copyright.PENANAV41ypvEvRw
135Please respect copyright.PENANALfG3e0etPf
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPm0TMxYs7D
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8XprKbJ13y
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8UNQy4zg7o
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJPllMAVhie
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnPuOMKvdIo
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5E7ps9bVOP
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3vU3pm02KG
135Please respect copyright.PENANAU1I7v7YV31
Tech: "Get over here!"
135Please respect copyright.PENANARwazs0laJk
135Please respect copyright.PENANANu2dGL3gP1
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANADp9m9pOj8U
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWYRNnOSks3
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8gv6K3zUJZ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYHBIVkPD0x
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjJFSy6TnfG
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXOcUouyqKD
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiUWQtmSH1i
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyuiZdvx6tK
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx1E4o6ynZr
135Please respect copyright.PENANAn1d31rXGcN
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3XZAFSHyr4
135Please respect copyright.PENANABANVboYf53
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVSjg8aGVW5
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkRZ2FwkVPl
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiwZu4w7xFj
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjUf7YvpWXS
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAi2vsHdRZeR
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHctCMdX63C
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAesS6Wmqo2Q
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxkpF3B5dWm
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXcsGw6UrEr
135Please respect copyright.PENANA31zpJkUl7k
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAa77jf3hA00
135Please respect copyright.PENANAR4QIAZMr7x
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxaGaNl41Oi
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXGDLLtiZ0v
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwnzus6XHcW

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. 135Please respect copyright.PENANAmSrbUdSJ25
