Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANATNzbwm4GEt
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4nfzUp9EBb
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAq7wPZb7SDc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAm4zpwFB37F
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPa7dlxDlNZ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHbUwqtwkvg
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANATHmJdpFe03
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4HCuOL2NV4
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAywQ2DeOb6l
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7G9wcLsTeQ
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtTRIHtHuzJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmXhBuphpQC
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZayAEvcYzo
109Please respect copyright.PENANAo6PiboGulE
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2PSKjeJmpN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsTdXaaB2Bf
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWkKTimPpK6
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1TRoIw3Kii
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdhYijgOUSi
109Please respect copyright.PENANA76W4vRXo6S
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGkCOTa7NcV
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmPbjdmUgsr
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAP0TPA8h3rw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAc43XmadZet
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA87X6ZWASXS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAam3MUpthku
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsAVIJGMy0F
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyiRJtlSCYM
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1gtqPJkKa2
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9caIH53zv3
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbNl5F1veEA
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUq2boCMqWe
109Please respect copyright.PENANAX483Z4QsM5
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1PVwEVZQXe
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFpM6vUyRvH
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANATaQAoNmgi4
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZPTyw5aP28
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbkE36CQvxJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxDPKxEQCi7
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPZR4DndvED
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPmIguwvNam
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEztkhZwBNo
109Please respect copyright.PENANAI0QueWjFrq
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAacU1BpReEe
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWS6v0PD3M1
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvbshNsNcEh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAal4AAbah6n
Kirche: ‘For now.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFo85S4S7HD
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPPTb7AdeWz
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAb8f54nDc6f
109Please respect copyright.PENANAa8Sxkw6DxS
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAggQOhiqETd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAppgTgjskeV
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAU6ktnMz5p5
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoEOrPw5PJ5
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwtozuXk6Fs
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxRNklQsqC5
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9KKibi6ZQ8
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOQIdeDuvAH
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZiYcealIA1
109Please respect copyright.PENANAh4mvZdPlMa
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuwGAdNnCQE
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqHdSAFe1W7
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkJrD0ncCaU
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2g7BWnL3hW
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6wa2BSDJ3n
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQmWlT0fbqv
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUiTgTHe7nG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFGMkmj5ORW
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbAMtxcdX4A
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYe3GeDHMsk
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwGH1udKgQ3
109Please respect copyright.PENANAKLOXdx63DP
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOb3Nk2nPmN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPRlyV90FlW
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYabI45j0FM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcUqGzELkWf
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANArg7BPEcE6q
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1ftFliXmNC
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdvK5QRNzL7
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1lY8T93tgn
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlv3kRJTUwr
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjIs4GwyZOR
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3idxrw7Kfu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFrYHQjGlFZ
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAioGWSTuShD
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3mShtt203l
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANATgw4sfOOFc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFuasMiM5OR
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6bD4pLJUeN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuvkcuReqVf
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!
109Please respect copyright.PENANAI2Jng6kQsU
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGREgfvlvX0
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnzBH1WIRQY
109Please respect copyright.PENANAP8qZMpcWHb
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqBKD4MSJ8e
109Please respect copyright.PENANAA6f7eOqjq1
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Db97veuW
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFAbPxOjf1C
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAypOF0Ep20D
109Please respect copyright.PENANABRryRoieAH
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkr6dvfr8LG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlt2e27WVDq
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYJYuyk2q1N
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Fvaso2ji
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zq57vvTTN
109Please respect copyright.PENANApZ5VNFzJ9f
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXo0m0JMi6F
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmfKiHbrvkv
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAL3FKTr1GJq
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyubRFIYrad
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8NTUepRilj
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQtOyFLKme2
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANADsxCcHjcAa
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIKVUfH89QI
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFHYiAziTn1
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoc4v1kWZ9z
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANABqWwvcXPfa
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0B7urB1G1w
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzjLkXHobfw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAM8mfVeVSOb
Flamma: “Is that all?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjhZ7k8ttTI
109Please respect copyright.PENANADa2ieQSNCL
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?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAU1fUnluoJb
109Please respect copyright.PENANALBG9aQHago
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWWDAIiUrSj
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9du4Hy2OhM
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANARPrzYcqLGk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPHD8YEFphH
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0l99E5XShu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxboYEirJJU
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdsRFDbNWPd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAchEqLKzrn3
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAy6diTKVE2j
109Please respect copyright.PENANAm7jE2MNZrp
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAfV2btu2czA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuD60E8809w
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA39V33mJ3w7
109Please respect copyright.PENANApuOAnwTLor
Dove: “After you.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeV2cIXwY8G
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9F9AsURbPA
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmVEWASrL1w
109Please respect copyright.PENANAux3VeFJPYJ
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzu3oRKFc1C
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdLrUoxEXGj
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxv54Uem7FM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEKLxvakBEX
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.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANANmG2EYbHJI
109Please respect copyright.PENANAz8dOSrXtYB
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9LCzsvSaV8
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6WkQJS5nxg
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2547bgi8w5
109Please respect copyright.PENANARFsiDg3gIW
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANApWWCUTpff8
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2WXFZXCqzg
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqzpay9N3tc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAa72Q0S62Fz
Dove: “Got it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgLcpUlMDPS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVle1tAiP2o
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…
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuNI3gHaiKA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwZxUTHTyua
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZZANBE8nye
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlXQnNnq0rX
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxfK0bgK7z5
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXQpioOHXhB
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxoYid6U3jn
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqoZcuJSJyu
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdWg8Iy0qHW
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8xQ7yDy4Gq
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVXO5nPKuNQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEvY9z6qzxN
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMjOMWaOvTJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANA50AjbOtd5F
Dove: “Agreed.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4nDk1Rl62e
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjLzi66goHh
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAB1l7lX8xIl
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0gDYvPewC7
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdtdzAdw26D
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJyxtZTIgAO
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANASV2psTTmP5
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgqwPTvE4s4
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjzSqsdRkX3
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyye5k96HV2
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAT8CfOHmKio
109Please respect copyright.PENANALKvOusXPSF
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAItv7BgzDQd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAydGuDoMSgr
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeZpe0067IA
109Please respect copyright.PENANARGLxWwVgyz
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFBjK24w0qi
109Please respect copyright.PENANAr3YEx4TxwU
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHlkxGNk8
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAo5jLsxT6kk
But Tech wasn’t done.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAssKup3wLtT
Tech: "Time to change things up."109Please respect copyright.PENANAfYKggvd7od
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2f1TySvGpi
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1xVW35EGS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaPjUW9DS7Z
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEMQsHOJwzM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPZDoRnS0Nc
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFLShGkGp5w
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPX3DfQCddI
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Ps60cBRF
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjS43lnIUVL
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnuZIAUBSXD
109Please respect copyright.PENANAibaz24PFqe
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2Syw5S49ZX
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlIOoqjtZIA
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWktxCiWd3P
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjF0MQn3r7T
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAw73B6hHmUy
109Please respect copyright.PENANABeTJq7Fbl4
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANACRSX3sABiV
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8gWNQ9PiqC
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
109Please respect copyright.PENANAljyVtiCIC8
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoX5JQiI5P3
Tech: "Get over here!"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzQwu4yh8IN
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9MTEpWVpd1
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbXdmuOLH3g
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJeCNzYEJA6
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqUQGAYKWMm
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5gBVF43Cs6
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA46Y9jGBOXN
109Please respect copyright.PENANARKLyv7j09S
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYTXGiZKnEi
109Please respect copyright.PENANABrrBLe2l8n
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuQheYMakZQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANABJDZrjOB3L
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAt8kHQ2Hmv6
109Please respect copyright.PENANAf2a05dsTcN
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUstsTQf6Zu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyd6oBo1uib
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAy3QEy7wyFJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANATI8H2jr4IA
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ww1tEsEmR
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1MLv9wJHnD
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9y7WQiuwjR
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyaJrFR6ral
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAL3iuuhweum
109Please respect copyright.PENANARWtu7yCq1D
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA32mYRiIVRN
109Please respect copyright.PENANATstEDQY4tK
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANARhLE4GpbZv
109Please respect copyright.PENANAh95Wnal64i
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlor18mcN0S

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. 109Please respect copyright.PENANA4Lq6N0lpW6
