Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2GGhXdnMxK
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXkDjbvUVjG
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAV0E2ZZjc0M
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhhBXV97BbH
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA90i118J0ja
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhrkgmsL7Ey
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANABvVRZ0QQp4
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0HI6WOeLcX
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU45eMPRIpw
138Please respect copyright.PENANARKN3rrm4e3
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQXJ7bBemzc
138Please respect copyright.PENANAT6l3iO1UXD
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANArcr0KO9m5m
138Please respect copyright.PENANAp8QEtLFOSs
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwWhZVjE43J
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yjn5oz670
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1vuzQgw7Av
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjbeDmohN6h
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWwW8Y30flI
138Please respect copyright.PENANABag9qEUMKk
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8IW47pCCTb
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1YiYuvdpD4
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqkCgMD9mLe
138Please respect copyright.PENANAeI1xt1Wh2P
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUb1acSV8WL
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQkt1ZeYcMJ
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6AeuUYSEz3
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvPn8MzMTyw
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8MQ2PoQy95
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaOWZCc7t92
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4yfCaF3AIx
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOtb7jSAIvU
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYvYgnY4rza
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFNmmKtWPLC
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfT16Ifej2H
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEQPVxQjAs5
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5YRvUniZLj
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjEl9zLg0df
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfbwN8iU5sl
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhqHbqJXVjB
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIADAdu18KT
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAm5aFA2AanY
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbqTcT23CZk
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8WEy0e08N3
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKKcuW65pgP
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9IS8YvVuE8
138Please respect copyright.PENANARNlMZfby2l
Kirche: ‘For now.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAW5GwRxfQdd
138Please respect copyright.PENANA43KUaUwHpc
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7FKPJiqkTc
138Please respect copyright.PENANAstDvgm2UiH
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlUoDyqKfFq
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcqp66smEuO
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7LUleuqJre
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAgAcGBSB5G
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYRcyM6BE5u
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5OZKv8yYCF
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGSX9GdejO9
138Please respect copyright.PENANAg93ppSWHpl
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAp0EZrno43o
138Please respect copyright.PENANAF7EWKqDzbn
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVgqacK4MiI
138Please respect copyright.PENANAE8bTMRpBNj
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHKmXjIfyDb
138Please respect copyright.PENANADIxCcI1xkX
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYCmtjb4z7y
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU5lqzNviMp
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA65ZsJhYFoO
138Please respect copyright.PENANArkuaan89zI
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWFt5ni04MO
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtuWYzwT6u2
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaRJOURzkcT
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJTeemf3yjU
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbeU2HFryuH
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYisaTXR0jU
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAg7jGPtVHwr
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgIj1tmpdYW
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAS8qG1XDYJG
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcfwAfZ5wrM
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAN9wxowu0fI
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHaZc3DdXAb
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANALdnSXbt1p5
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiVo7Kvzr3d
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAeF00z1wUvR
138Please respect copyright.PENANARPQUGEcSmo
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
138Please respect copyright.PENANARrj3ALzwDU
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWCi5FdnZWt
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdaQRBZ4bSL
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGMBzyTSW
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
138Please respect copyright.PENANANVdadnDxR5
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh9LMkwfazK
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!
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh9mTZUcWKI
138Please respect copyright.PENANAm6qs4R32gj
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJssTCW2Qdl
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWCadm5qu0H
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGTlnVhwwkr
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYlpxyziUqV
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhu6xdzrmBz
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoHn7SsMrwh
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYW4e5DVm7n
138Please respect copyright.PENANA23HxrHFfS7
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhXgFLp99Fh
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0vIZQz8n7W
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfYp7vQ1YVQ
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgtM6UhxbHu
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1zUlKJwRif
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjbZccT6rUV
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzWl0o6xc0g
138Please respect copyright.PENANAd8v0wwtN7Q
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
138Please respect copyright.PENANACHc167qSJD
138Please respect copyright.PENANAC0WfXRIvJS
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOdJ7EWc6ek
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgyculcZa2O
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGZq62fy25l
138Please respect copyright.PENANAP12JGq9oCU
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPT370pEDWk
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbDtdmpv4m2
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkNvSfvug3t
138Please respect copyright.PENANAv05m3h9mzO
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
138Please respect copyright.PENANApj1kfVDwPX
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoQz6xrKfOw
Flamma: “Is that all?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfUtLqsbxR6
138Please respect copyright.PENANARwx55jj4S7
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?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJfH3zwoiTd
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxuzZTSTz5R
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVCE2wXbBss
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnLALDxZdPF
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUD44snXPMa
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVAUQjYzx9x
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALiAUgtqPiO
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6CeFYdifnX
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWxCi7scF3a
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzZgsZQGTs2
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEY6jrixqEM
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0gjP7we8Ut
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASzKuJmgP9Y
138Please respect copyright.PENANAipSMe0Aq69
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA699dorZzzy
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgW9PWCNkqz
Dove: “After you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJYvIE51i5k
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8UbjmXM6Nn
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWqMhIut51K
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0TzOYpfxPw
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkyiV6zTam0
138Please respect copyright.PENANATYfITIrRjx
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAR6MR40TFRF
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWFtfnJxMgX
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.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYaAhpWdZIY
138Please respect copyright.PENANAscQytaAbQG
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMau9N7Ptc5
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZak4WtXboP
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAn4OP976zxY
138Please respect copyright.PENANA05ysAdkwhK
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMObmcFgQHe
138Please respect copyright.PENANATG7mp3xBJw
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdySYZsi2t7
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnO2KKiyERY
Dove: “Got it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPSzsnIW3WV
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvqJs4hs44x
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…
138Please respect copyright.PENANA421WRmM9x3
138Please respect copyright.PENANA114fcTYgAA
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyQkjuUHhfT
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhp3b9AMPtm
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJONtvTvbXN
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvUkRGZCibV
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmekpb4MeNB
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnbDAaVyppy
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANALR30P6GY3W
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0ed1TEnT1p
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1N8yc7gnZe
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkORffu0kDp
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAydHbdLcFYs
138Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ipFQoc7K
Dove: “Agreed.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxJdGGZECGs
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOdRkDrayPY
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHWEUT96flF
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2k6IW92pyd
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1DTcszU8aE
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7L7okeehH7
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzJGOOSGpiT
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhG83GD53C7
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwFBcLo8sxn
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9NZu5I6eGn
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA03m8Z8p7yY
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtp3su9d9VZ
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAq0otxLAh3e
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhFlmLXmzkJ
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGUMVdDTI6U
138Please respect copyright.PENANATVEAqPntDl
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwm1fdjNwkl
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbmUFSqXNNa
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9eJFL6h7IM
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHFlS11kKQ3
But Tech wasn’t done.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyNxK0xGGVq
Tech: "Time to change things up."138Please respect copyright.PENANAaVbWW0C7zR
138Please respect copyright.PENANARyZQI3cVZI
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZAv2LbkSJM
138Please respect copyright.PENANAC51dJIDbYB
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAD77eoFuCpg
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHgSY24uccY
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIutTtn53DE
138Please respect copyright.PENANAemvDyG02Qe
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1f5TRsYuLP
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmL3qMh7jg1
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAn9jkrEDNzT
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJN026wvAeG
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
138Please respect copyright.PENANAL7mHj6RUb2
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7o71lYfexv
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjjrXlh1peI
138Please respect copyright.PENANASjzj6CNoze
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2RCslg6efC
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5UKWlHayVI
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0gZOzDbKbb
138Please respect copyright.PENANAREsCnfrCHE
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUiZKyvc6Vk
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiThktWdyED
Tech: "Get over here!"
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhjN4Pr8cTr
138Please respect copyright.PENANA57W4qamNK8
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ3DQlmNKg
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdewB00XuqP
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAi2jBhGxYUf
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAnOl1ctdZi
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
138Please respect copyright.PENANANvE45aT1gH
138Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ipzMHD18
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEeBpgMQMTF
138Please respect copyright.PENANAva2FZbDFEj
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
138Please respect copyright.PENANARdGI05JXfC
138Please respect copyright.PENANApJ6OJbeRzH
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlZJSEEqkJP
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0r6lG56zb8
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAW3EOfWmrou
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWv4qQMZrJi
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzVMp0SbleT
138Please respect copyright.PENANAm1YpbM4A65
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnHqC0gqCeP
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaKychYwUYj
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALesejaPd1C
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYAmfDt6M6c
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkTmeqhOAQV
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxDe5ncs8f5
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsHreOclNfv
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4rQ2lRUjkh
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkU3lR0Rt3V
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2rxnYxAS4m
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

Flamma: “You know, I’m starting to think this was all a big waste of time.”

Dove: “It wasn’t all bad. We saved Siesta and I think Guiche learned a valuable lesson.”

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.

Dove: “Right, commoners have a right to happiness too. Now come on, I’m sure Tech would appreciate a hug too.”

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. 138Please respect copyright.PENANAIldeM8elBL
