Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKC8xacce
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebdwWX20JF
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ39fSKLJnG
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyThcMrQuR
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBjHvovSe4
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7yLSkDoGq
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKM5tz7bCI
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hcy81qoCZ
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZfFkRga8z
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9TNHTKABF
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpk7Zj5Es5
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPfZzGcRaq
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.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCr9MaEkr
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzNKmPGXGu
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OrC3yKsTX
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCtcSaasRW
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULB8FlTMq9
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5gW78q6ka
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhQYpH8BvU
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0TvPt6VxO
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmo66cFOpV
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo0htiKXVA
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPW5zCUzjr
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5SIiy1WiH
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89wxiLdwpe
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKtnZ5Apy4
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.

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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOufw1v3IUv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykTPTv8wu
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNF2xj4W80
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5EKQLstxN
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LLaj2ari
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu0GPaPgSC
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78wFZmR46
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMxG5M44Ba
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2hjD7F5LB
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27c51ZVZva

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKlKCkroXi
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBe9x1bR7r
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXcEZXp9O
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECuSngCVgl
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY85uBJYZv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7NluhHR6c
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RQRG4CMFX
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKBGG134BJ
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPghqC0aVa
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt3ND50CWq
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpWhrQ0QQF
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19y0QRNpvD
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboe3IwIt86
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRqKIwZgto
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t61s6WN1o
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2flk3ubES
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb3YYGujUM
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTxdQnrZ3w
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHgKRKooYx
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.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9etf1pwMe
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZ4sfabgC

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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgigmkTIET
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8y4nW6sBB
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvD364pB6k
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsZRxRswR9
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6aCisWvKv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJ0KXMQS5
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6L0g3Kz1p
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHsymdHlAc
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynAjUyUHF6
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB08BpZ94hK
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng2kPFizTn
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVpDhKGsUM
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vqcQMpqnn
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLQkfe3uX
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlSuSrDZHz

The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTaNPyPA4O
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XCU5BM37C
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKfKXm6Q7M
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUIFMPqTDb
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sKS7f3yU5
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRdHGW3dSa
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!
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6vFWTiQuW
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmcMY3p6CO
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm90KS97rE
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDe6juTTp
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDmbLVdXoB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZjgQSzhE4
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxlJZEJeKI
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsD1RzXrXJ
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRokkmrooPo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZLMa4Z9XM
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPBGjJM9UL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpIFjHe7Wx
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHskBNFEdzs

Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsuqrCdaqt
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zH0mkeng5
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m1QB0COrZ
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQis3e1f4M
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW3sVBE1V0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYTmgrA8NK
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmFQcsRigX
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheDgbIq9sV
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWaSyl6gC8
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fl5eIwlfw
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QVlwcW9pV
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYreeeVbm
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c51o5Q8Kh
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE9Vc3gdNk
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkcsFAH7gT
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwYxL4ovvr
Flamma: “Is that all?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpz9JkVZ3V
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqsfCAfW0a
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?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5BtSw5vrs
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLyHfVoIo
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdgZuLvP8N
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlexDxLobG
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tnYZczXKN
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeHeFK0Dxd
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CcZGb3Zid
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8PZv0UszG
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qLWtsbPxe
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPJfAh2TIF
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA95yqc5qSE
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluSqX9kVd6
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hZN1pXuzu
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGacTO7QB8L
Dove: “After you.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3G3rwYbyz

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gtwNCkke7
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZDrd6diL
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhE4vrUWYJ
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdj4fUR2f3
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Ao8DfCoB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx0QIXzM8Q
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.’
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohxxSKNBQ3
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmVtZHuiN
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4spfuwidnc
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NinxUIPvZ
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBpk1ug6eC
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSuXI6JTvY
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGcXoAcCLq
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4vPWOK2Dh
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmLfI5td3g
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfag9aiL1E8
Dove: “Got it.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDqONslGP9
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuSPk0fj9g
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…
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj8sSOSaQ9
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZhYHzsj6M
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd55FluJkU
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc928Fori0
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT249HNGoww
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwARDuGpY9m
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBcjiT8bn0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRXZM8O7I
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7XGviQLsR
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBngDHO8bvC
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuX5qyJztI
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G0yBlWNq1
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7GqSgB2lO
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFVEnpUVKj
Dove: “Agreed.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH3JeejTTv

Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wRDU2Lsfg
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxkHUfDb2C
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPUVRYMSwM
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgNwL28r1C
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DyJBpekwB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XDDFSDG34
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQl084yQHg
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGuYD8ckvn
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wRTLLe9qo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9idiSMOmYT
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwOwlMrjtV
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5EVlZWhfv
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1L3pTqklK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wX0GP4Iuq
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BSGlSRlv8
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOofy4rqLJ7
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSMnupKqj
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWST5BRYmvJ
But Tech wasn’t done.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3QqUTzyG
Tech: "Time to change things up."356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOmjp2l80g
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRDxCUNUIT
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WWXkm03JA
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6N4uHwhKp
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Q7bVxnz2
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPluaVimPhO
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz25Dwl1Y3q
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAV8v5g84a
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCPUqvDeUz
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLFrkTAMkv
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uNXC6Bzel

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH5wS3U6ta
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAUKMGXWYb
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJsgLaBi6K
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4txh6QnWJ
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fnpLcZw8C
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVohCo7Z5SA
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFPBdtavIa
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11d6MuSaNT
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS6PacFsL9
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfvpOb2MqG
Tech: "Get over here!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8SYUoNPZM
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zBJHRBo0R
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Feb4fswt
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ocNXp7z8
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOO2ot6NA
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiROixoy5vT
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"

Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”

Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.

Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”

Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”

With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

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. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgjzyeEdpS
