Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnfXHDpyzzi
128Please respect copyright.PENANALF9mbvZg6s
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAjB0gvaXyC8
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0v7qSSvfRN
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAaiG1gJPQ3b
128Please respect copyright.PENANAV4bpQ58XP5
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAKCZfPl5swN
128Please respect copyright.PENANAbCCIA3cXyV
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAWDdgDwjMSJ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAJsYOojpyeR
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANApZiTiA8F1B
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0YQa2lQYRd
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.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA08KqWicQ4f
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQ80iqon8KR
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAE5aOUd1C08
128Please respect copyright.PENANAp3yHiE1Han
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAAWhVU9BLhk
128Please respect copyright.PENANASh7PJeoARU
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAY5xjir3pA8
128Please respect copyright.PENANA04JHeoWZf3
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAt4fcMKd8RR
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFt7lVTyP5u
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnIW8wXBcFB
128Please respect copyright.PENANAJVBlZxiAZt
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANADPoqXv2auT
128Please respect copyright.PENANAlZJLnatntY
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAyzkxgEEBl4
128Please respect copyright.PENANAcLO68p1dyL
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgxmIL4DKep
128Please respect copyright.PENANAyHmyAvIUJ6
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAbEXv8Js8Ep
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAMUmB370Hyl
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFwZ6QtbBy4
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAJSWXl9dpp2
128Please respect copyright.PENANAyWGZHVof7S
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAShvjBlh5Au
128Please respect copyright.PENANAEqD965iFuW
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAIVjJsCvQIL
128Please respect copyright.PENANA37tfjK9sHE
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA7MWglVhlVD
128Please respect copyright.PENANAqqmqwIT7b9
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA7PbH1PmxZ5
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFSOx2aWL6y
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAvEATJMn4xE
128Please respect copyright.PENANAd5Nh94rFo2
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAB4ELMIbUMS
128Please respect copyright.PENANA6lNv7I2rXs
Kirche: ‘For now.’
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFVavtEvn9N
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsDckLdG4kd
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA3FjKOtWX2S
128Please respect copyright.PENANAmp2V66bUgF
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
128Please respect copyright.PENANATRQwYm4HEr
128Please respect copyright.PENANAu128J8xHZR
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA5D16HJ98lu
128Please respect copyright.PENANANxk1OvoXYb
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAMzc8fW6ywD
128Please respect copyright.PENANAs8oxpoBEur
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAdQN8eQbo6w
128Please respect copyright.PENANAW8OlEbNexm
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAvZtyZHD8vU
128Please respect copyright.PENANAfVLyvzHdUt
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAf6UyvrxHL9
128Please respect copyright.PENANA4wpaEU8Uuc
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.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANADFpWgSGgVI
128Please respect copyright.PENANAbZwe32Cnr3
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAhHYBe6wmWQ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnwdKMV8NeL
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANALVNGr8GDX9
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0OK2f5fxo4
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAL35AxtFZOB
128Please respect copyright.PENANAvkvDYlg99Z
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
128Please respect copyright.PENANA6a78qBlZgo
128Please respect copyright.PENANAAEPxLSSjSl
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAoFdaWY0M6y
128Please respect copyright.PENANA2hjJCjorDa
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0D9OtT1RgA
128Please respect copyright.PENANA9UwzSPbtPp
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANACyQtwreyQU
128Please respect copyright.PENANASYtLBNSPci
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
128Please respect copyright.PENANARHFeehn3AL
128Please respect copyright.PENANA75EknXMtoj
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
128Please respect copyright.PENANA7ije9wPYSv
128Please respect copyright.PENANAr9H27nnut8
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwErzWS8nkG
128Please respect copyright.PENANA4OVjguhoxg
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
128Please respect copyright.PENANATLKX17qD1r
128Please respect copyright.PENANAno42JSBhyf
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAWwGNWpCqC6
128Please respect copyright.PENANATL4MucwYxg
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
128Please respect copyright.PENANACDaAZi4llq
128Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tuz5I9Ow5
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!
128Please respect copyright.PENANADl75IFz4lU
128Please respect copyright.PENANANfoWjh56xL
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAGCtOWg0rmH
128Please respect copyright.PENANAn6YsAOoJsM
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA22qUGSnAA5
128Please respect copyright.PENANAckgpRdbL5S
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAkpZRplzwKd
128Please respect copyright.PENANA2pfyHjwN4b
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAqyUK0jbrQg
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnwifXrXmVC
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQu9oMb6i0o
128Please respect copyright.PENANAjagYAIQoCO
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANABDIoCrIFGA
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVd8fMwwHZa
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVO8m1UoeId
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnFHSS3myvK
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0NmSDZdviJ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAArwIocm5yB
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAHxSkwoO6Qv
128Please respect copyright.PENANAva8EK95D0l
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
128Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ3vHUkjB1
128Please respect copyright.PENANAaQsFGD2pbC
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANALfudWHqrM2
128Please respect copyright.PENANAD047s6dwDc
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAY4RuMxquo9
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwHH5Hj1LoA
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAjaa1Wtbuy7
128Please respect copyright.PENANA2PdkOwYXIY
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAAzelRnRQML
128Please respect copyright.PENANA4j6pOWVEiI
Flamma: “Is that all?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAjoZ8KIRCmS
128Please respect copyright.PENANADnf9TYFMDL
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?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAYD10auqSlZ
128Please respect copyright.PENANA4AM8blFH9p
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFVfFt7zQ4R
128Please respect copyright.PENANA57ye2h6cvy
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAiETqnpOaIU
128Please respect copyright.PENANAGtdVPwowiu
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAMayvE5RwB0
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFvqgJvRWHj
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA9m6KdVPI9O
128Please respect copyright.PENANA01sZ5tlq2o
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgOblkMp8H1
128Please respect copyright.PENANA29s6yZKhCO
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFSOdA7JgyP
128Please respect copyright.PENANAMnrnPDTWxK
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAehRO4sYNXR
128Please respect copyright.PENANAaHYbbK42Tu
Dove: “After you.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVuNmUhNVE0
128Please respect copyright.PENANAO3dO23Iaa0
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAr4n2Ag6JHu
128Please respect copyright.PENANAbm5fJbt8N0
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAUbEWEbMVxE
128Please respect copyright.PENANAXWs8AcrBc3
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANADaMiZlCkL9
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsq4mqKm3BA
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.’
128Please respect copyright.PENANAxdfG8kksnb
128Please respect copyright.PENANAer6m02CrlU
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAOdZG6uvppd
128Please respect copyright.PENANAXNzAhZU8d9
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAanlUlFn2Y4
128Please respect copyright.PENANADiv1M2HLvB
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgZW0HLeb8z
128Please respect copyright.PENANAEl4te3o0FF
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAcV35Tv8HI1
128Please respect copyright.PENANACB16dRoLoW
Dove: “Got it.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA10dRkK9cxP
128Please respect copyright.PENANAqGG7Xh6GyS
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…
128Please respect copyright.PENANAqLktCBV5Zo
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnyoDQ9P4nz
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAhjburw1810
128Please respect copyright.PENANAouzjbe86pt
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAEzl8oSfRZT
128Please respect copyright.PENANAzMIPnh48kC
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAytRhUhIF0J
128Please respect copyright.PENANAZeMmHOalE6
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
128Please respect copyright.PENANArMn7I9E6BI
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0i4CBKVBxM
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsjZ2gEpyp5
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQJQEYWY1d8
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAYF8pKFH3D2
128Please respect copyright.PENANAxaCTTHiO4x
Dove: “Agreed.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANARX6MWoxTQp
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVKNUnQgywp
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsB0FwyUctG
128Please respect copyright.PENANAfsNKmypLIv
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA0cxhGbBE2H
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQXNrJW1VKC
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAh1ll1zV05i
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwoTyfClJHL
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA00bYS4PYoN
128Please respect copyright.PENANAhNodT1lH2i
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
128Please respect copyright.PENANATgqlgMAMRD
128Please respect copyright.PENANAB4EyIRzhDk
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAOdxZJ1pmmx
128Please respect copyright.PENANArSTK63yP6F
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAzK17Ovt16t
128Please respect copyright.PENANAGFlFpcOaTq
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAdoM3sU5aiH
128Please respect copyright.PENANAaF8KSlz1XO
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAOs5tcOturz
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANASGrFfarQFe
But Tech wasn’t done.
128Please respect copyright.PENANARKrtiVRgqg
Tech: "Time to change things up."128Please respect copyright.PENANAzNMonWaGKn
128Please respect copyright.PENANAeOWwvbiG0U
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANArJ8P9d2gkM
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQK81M6ame7
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAlv687aSU2n
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFZfFCZgNn0
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA9VAI9EopZJ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQfRYI0uc4l
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
128Please respect copyright.PENANA6ee2RzMPbZ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAtj18JjQyJg
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAweLwgTEgT5
128Please respect copyright.PENANAPbtp3KQCuy
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
128Please respect copyright.PENANAt34mOT5Sx9
128Please respect copyright.PENANANwLKmvQC4e
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANANOZzMTRHSr
128Please respect copyright.PENANAiURJwtVEJU
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANACbkN7UJyw6
128Please respect copyright.PENANA5AC2799U0V
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAjW6Y9Ejyrt
128Please respect copyright.PENANAPJzChrfqif
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
128Please respect copyright.PENANA77o9dIEjw6
128Please respect copyright.PENANA1yb8BqwuWv
Tech: "Get over here!"
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgBbPlxPMTV
128Please respect copyright.PENANANvAiQ66q6o
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANADIt4KOjsgp
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsWizz9Tl4j
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.
128Please respect copyright.PENANA1lpf7aDx7j
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQfzg1bmxKA
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAOzDo08eqTI
128Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wuy63NFrL
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
128Please respect copyright.PENANA2ibDFEraGF
128Please respect copyright.PENANAGIbjmSOFlY
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAF7p07DB3lG
128Please respect copyright.PENANAWLtkj5dTuY
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwx3dxlk5xh
128Please respect copyright.PENANAiYLu6L59FX
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
128Please respect copyright.PENANATfw88bqOmk
128Please respect copyright.PENANAf7KBZ7qUJA
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAxfJQyavFay
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVThhM0B0ez
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVK5rgqGUjU
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQl0tbZE5eC
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAG0YNDEpR6f
128Please respect copyright.PENANAuxdPt1T1Tx
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAKxZoey647g
128Please respect copyright.PENANA6tJEFSvNRH
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFKiktV0KMX
128Please respect copyright.PENANALQJTOLPda4
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAYZegYFCycW
128Please respect copyright.PENANAoOL3BG1bdw
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.”

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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAVozQPAfCxz
