Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAncCF1SUBuD
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMWEynnKzpd
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
127Please respect copyright.PENANARyy4RT2OMZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYL500vTq8D
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAycEZqGGNW1
127Please respect copyright.PENANANZMHNGB3W4
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ETZSh8Iv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAK25bGedPwc
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
127Please respect copyright.PENANANj2fACvOy6
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhDodxypiMS
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAz4DyiR98rN
127Please respect copyright.PENANABYRXESvZ46
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.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0AtGDMUEvo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnmGE0yVvMu
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsXzD9iNi6s
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKbYBRX7Nhm
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyi8JBrR3Kc
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMJRHPBaI5Q
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvaqJuesYNA
127Please respect copyright.PENANAL8QywvJX7Y
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAN9DDbqGMk4
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJUNlvaMZlq
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtlHB9EPznB
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2mCn1XHu6I
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAc9U4WtHQJK
127Please respect copyright.PENANA02Cgg8VbfK
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtfyEswWO9W
127Please respect copyright.PENANAecarQf9hRJ
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlDW8nHytB3
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhw479e4qpH
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjjGVv3F86l
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANADmhbKC1gBM
127Please respect copyright.PENANARYetDmI4j2
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAi9HmSYrqX3
127Please respect copyright.PENANALQZhbLjUFb
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjkfyiy7VEO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQCiACHz6no
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYeEoWDPlih
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ3tZBPwak
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAndVTR5vnPR
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqZJp93FpN6
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAR1GYOzKPFO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAK2V0miGjjp
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAK02F3Wp5q0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkvTxyKqKt2
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8QeYvZBROn
127Please respect copyright.PENANA94hjfAMKHt
Kirche: ‘For now.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwR997pWZAJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5YsUR2PmIl
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ0qJEID26
127Please respect copyright.PENANABpxYoDfVaY
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlaM7c0RUUu
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQhTouErjBX
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJMOS7VU9Au
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtjbghKJRQc
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmGlEh82z9N
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHMHT8HSun0
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzRI76vnQyg
127Please respect copyright.PENANANQ6hswqGE6
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3ApJ42IdM9
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyIvlK9WHbr
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbMpfrRjA6F
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxMCMxhNxPO
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.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGsy5ADYoaQ
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8c68hZtVOp
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAL3VYpEmLZP
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbaK3S0la1b
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPhqkqDY0uc
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgkYWis0Yph
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0kG7kaUmy0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAP4eNImcZaP
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGSsxk0Se44
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdTIfdCy4eP
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAO66e3dgYT6
127Please respect copyright.PENANAa1KRwk9tQY
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
127Please respect copyright.PENANABWGQxpodWr
127Please respect copyright.PENANApyblryogpU
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANARCw3LCznkY
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyySgFlTF6G
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAA4KhTVvcJb
127Please respect copyright.PENANA27cJVUaZxF
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z4MmZ0it0
127Please respect copyright.PENANALRzfIAUS6C
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJGvrcDGtd2
127Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Zv40piQu
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdhij7tSw4f
127Please respect copyright.PENANADh1iYe35Ze
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfOK3gKE4Yx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAy6ZpSIixmk
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xd7JtIh9S
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwoBlkuamUU
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!
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgeTTznY8QX
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbZYWqUjFR3
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOy0KRrgLQt
127Please respect copyright.PENANABFvEYYBKrs
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmIoz9FSgaZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANALrMktgBEQP
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYfOTHMYcx7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Nhc9ezaH
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFpDGYHoHby
127Please respect copyright.PENANAe5IuI7V6Gb
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA73Ns5sPnYR
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5WWC7aAVPe
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIKrlMpRYOw
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkXjLfQ53UG
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANATcf7QHXRhv
127Please respect copyright.PENANASZWGdUtojr
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANATFZiRGFdmt
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXTwlNBB5BX
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhDb5VlACBY
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fmhx9hbDL
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAK1WqKUE9w4
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZVfZOP3OWx
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhbRMQsSVsV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAylvBBYuyq7
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXQE3HbIRQt
127Please respect copyright.PENANATZs0ycGA2s
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOthn1uL7Rs
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5d8bMHB7Fk
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzdZ9iqmzK3
127Please respect copyright.PENANABX8wZ82r3G
Flamma: “Is that all?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAV70T3dJO2l
127Please respect copyright.PENANAN1bFEP2ANw
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?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZuN3ePNKw6
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzNkJzpTFs6
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAF9rpvut4Fr
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaCiTC3oe47
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA1xJWCt03Wt
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxJpDJQpueD
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8AezfEIItv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhu0s3IvtL5
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9fZC20PhPe
127Please respect copyright.PENANACRRORrhhlM
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAD1R0esvlVW
127Please respect copyright.PENANAExnvry0aBu
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuz2UgHEzE4
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlhDkDnVbXn
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
127Please respect copyright.PENANARsLyFxcNon
127Please respect copyright.PENANAebx8dpiEzI
Dove: “After you.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnWfqeNRAyh
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgFEkH8UO0p
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA43CskMNmFj
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2TufasJoDU
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAg2wNTG05mU
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoUzDijuzbt
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYJYZz1ocSI
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMMLRI4ywEq
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.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlPbZorwvdv
127Please respect copyright.PENANALlCSxXLQYL
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjDuZiv4wDF
127Please respect copyright.PENANAu9m49BrRJH
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzBT4vqgtnY
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQR4brUUQ
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfxdht0HOfz
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlkfTRN3ewz
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jmxrybm18
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoFEXSqtU1O
Dove: “Got it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOTt80kGHyk
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6oXu4ckEEl
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…
127Please respect copyright.PENANARJx5yCiPoj
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiA9RwSW16n
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqXNqcZintv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKMkSdMTv9t
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFFe601Bbyl
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxPjcrGMy6V
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAM3PjSFx7SY
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVYfYQzSjUn
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAANxUB1kDRx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnyRLT9qWBw
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAyedGGn6dF
127Please respect copyright.PENANABF1tWqdZBf
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzRVY0orVcp
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkrYBDHNFi7
Dove: “Agreed.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA54QTRVkoPq
127Please respect copyright.PENANADplpsP0fai
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMf0DUYeahM
127Please respect copyright.PENANAriDik0yift
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuSjUdVaE7L
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJUPblF66UT
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAp2gpHjN9dK
127Please respect copyright.PENANAp75dfSSHjK
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyqZnGdaGws
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMZQKOdkQ7P
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnpA8K5xuAG
127Please respect copyright.PENANARKP2L4UzCO
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAg2LSXMEZUF
127Please respect copyright.PENANAudny8wVD2H
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAz0u2UdO0Zc
127Please respect copyright.PENANApiX6eaqxkb
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMdwZn4dv8a
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8rPYtp79mU
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7boQugT6ke
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXurHGHDoYl
But Tech wasn’t done.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUf7Q3czIpV
Tech: "Time to change things up."127Please respect copyright.PENANACUgv65wdHz
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaEcTtjg6mp
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxPxhIP0QHS
127Please respect copyright.PENANA07aiGthmoI
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmNm3DwScvS
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaQgMWcDQ3B
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA00lTKzyLGR
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyxuUnH0KNH
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANApLhZWt1PMk
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9ssn9kZNsC
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4ODmCUniBh
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqR23FPOfkt
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4HdEeB8E
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWBTZ4B9XNw
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAovZvKCzSOt
127Please respect copyright.PENANAj0YwV6ppxB
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgU9YmyjOWo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYh4dRzQteA
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuCFAW5JtqV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUwBS4MbFb6
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
127Please respect copyright.PENANAq1Cxdn845F
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7crwl4kMLM
Tech: "Get over here!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzvykKf7aMf
127Please respect copyright.PENANAR7KdGVnuYW
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEANxd4XvNi
127Please respect copyright.PENANAP9w45dik5s
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAO75Zk8xQUN
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkJnr1fy5cw
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vrxrik3dO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzazIKo0OWL
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAudemkzN7Fa
127Please respect copyright.PENANAW0Kobj89AU
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAj0DchMVvTt
127Please respect copyright.PENANAT2PUZnPiQp
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnL5OSiO6KE
127Please respect copyright.PENANA16pZevuZm0
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
127Please respect copyright.PENANALXuoFHwk8E
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtnJamEawrP
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQfm77OQAb7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUEAgaaD32g
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIe37wid4Gc
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZTJ61MVlx6
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdX92XjI94i
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQXQz8RXMsw
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0mo6j2VYBv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqut6BtarDs
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnuYELgyVn9
127Please respect copyright.PENANAs3a9Z5oePa
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqVyVyVKcau
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdvnHnJmsEI
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAT6h8jiObd7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAodFUs88jMv
Flamma: “You know, I’m starting to think this was all a big waste of time.”

Dove: “That…and humility.”

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. 127Please respect copyright.PENANAle3VGelVx8
