Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAX7L8wDT0f8
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjNyHBbR5rs
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcKLZY88h4T
116Please respect copyright.PENANAsxxfKYLrwD
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUuLhuG94vu
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnIYMjzxsbm
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJOJMP3gajY
116Please respect copyright.PENANAPgycBgvLyH
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAToaOLUxQF5
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAEBqpa09Ao
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKvAVRxjKKc
116Please respect copyright.PENANAV96XBt21E0
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWNo4aIoVvQ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfBQUml56ep
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA937ksMDWWO
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKYDgQOSuAu
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJf3G6Q979v
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqJtZro9UpY
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiXu92jHWUG
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9x8cBsDFfa
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8bk32uDL5I
116Please respect copyright.PENANAivrHc1tQLm
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAv9Nmyx27M
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0tQTbgVgQ1
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfIhQZW4T7B
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcbeyS8bXxM
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAymYDCwryI6
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHVxb3Vi0F5
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJWt7P2hZiT
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0poygIVJEY
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfPO8LWKDBm
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA26d5Llg3X6
116Please respect copyright.PENANANljyCA0dbG
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANApLoTcZ36Z0
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbxw4ln19bA
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1yUZn8tvNQ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAM1AMloFbLL
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5uo3HCKjy6
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAqqts3HseU
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAeFPcsGnWJZ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAgavlIEbUE4
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAp9PsFx0s3y
116Please respect copyright.PENANANOGRPHOdLT
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAffwHYSVns
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWXHbP2B6qB
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcYAr4Tp5g8
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMnv5UjbiAc
Kirche: ‘For now.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANALDalprcACH
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiB4YGBzxo2
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqjzK7hEtkW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWdCFdlm0xw
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFXDoAJWkEB
116Please respect copyright.PENANAf4TBycFxR9
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAy3JnEzvhG5
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJMFUhb6Z6X
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUbFFnr5PLB
116Please respect copyright.PENANAF527Jxfp5A
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYUUlYOVN1Z
116Please respect copyright.PENANAi8RZ44xNnZ
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA59D7aYbGxz
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjySyBZ74vn
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUbnzNf81iB
116Please respect copyright.PENANACDIuKeoTln
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAveYeoiPIwZ
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4p0nFr4H8J
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANArrkKvbxI83
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiYhHBvUHwx
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnCMaC15Dpk
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYXR2ax2EgZ
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAOpOQrFWxXv
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwaNY9UxRTg
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
116Please respect copyright.PENANA3mSnS6UlFK
116Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ZIOiYCZQ
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2EKHhPwl4L
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtYnfeHAvTL
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjKly8oTN6d
116Please respect copyright.PENANAowM1CRHXzF
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAuI3cfAAVvy
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1JInUxCavf
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUnZFjyNkQS
116Please respect copyright.PENANAz7dX7fOB3T
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAL9jHtI6S4
116Please respect copyright.PENANAe0Opim8EDL
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6GAAK1CXlm
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7GepT6h8hJ
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
116Please respect copyright.PENANALdIM0Vhlyp
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXmlKKamKxs
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjCsbNkUpgE
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7UcdHwVNu1
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWcC9OsA7Ie
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZosdGZJmW
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!
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoYtSp1pq33
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1SpJHbsJaI
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoOy66IHxBJ
116Please respect copyright.PENANARVQMWBIvJ1
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfJHfzHViKS
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnD6Y5U6EtH
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAso45n9QkPQ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAalkpCi9vm5
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtr01ZCIMow
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZXy2jePzlG
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtlBEkldTRC
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHGnWFhR3P4
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQEoiN2on4w
116Please respect copyright.PENANAce7tHYzwf4
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANABEENTDxECF
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxg7nQd8cdA
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJy0gY2nJSe
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUs31qPTQdM
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
116Please respect copyright.PENANALUdVtJyHbn
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6wIXxELS4T
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQgIiYCJpHZ
116Please respect copyright.PENANACfSkCF75OZ
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYoBoyBDtLn
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQKwRw6kh1l
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwmPhbjvbhS
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUuHwedl2Hv
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANARoCQV5Wp9j
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ohi5smelO
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2qxor4g0rK
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYhgoaKt3mx
Flamma: “Is that all?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANASvcsl6VaWB
116Please respect copyright.PENANAP57fVyDk8E
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?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9OrZK5WrXF
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYezrwAomRE
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA30gb6OY8Xk
116Please respect copyright.PENANAs7JIF1urbI
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAun9zLvxUDh
116Please respect copyright.PENANAR6gfzRdoFB
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAkztKAeMi9K
116Please respect copyright.PENANARPovU8MMRW
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5s4xAzB7r
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJ60NUK1EJa
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAG0MXuPn8nP
116Please respect copyright.PENANACRI8HOnsJT
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyKwqcmuB16
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9GNTuPNXRA
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4RBTWeeqhd
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnlRMOH0Yi2
Dove: “After you.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEcKF0DhnMP
116Please respect copyright.PENANA56evYbWtN7
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcOnh9MjFSA
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXmcfOafPnu
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANADyNOjsCFS3
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9vd36WLR8A
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxCJ3pqoNUo
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzrxVd6ZptE
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.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAsxwRybnhyt
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVdCV6M0e3z
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1vbCKnzESA
116Please respect copyright.PENANAI7JnXnmy08
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwT3w4jDOIm
116Please respect copyright.PENANAs8yivD9QJ9
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHJjxCE404q
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9GPrLRZXU2
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhjS4LAY6zR
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUVvQgMmaJH
Dove: “Got it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5dZtYRGWyD
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyy9Y9LmipR
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…
116Please respect copyright.PENANActIj7j7IKX
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwcbAXSEBX8
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAN2RJWwCBuj
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWAFglqFo19
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAlO63dsJlZT
116Please respect copyright.PENANA14bhPRPayc
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2YrrMstLkz
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVd1eYGj0Tk
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQyYXytOd38
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9jUF7Ydk4i
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANANL0UBLeVHm
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAFFkCBHO5j
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANATgbXxQCGby
116Please respect copyright.PENANACyI6zavr32
Dove: “Agreed.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANARyPwVgUp5h
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5vvX9Bb80P
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA39aVQba47q
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7bkGqh4RlP
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbsKzezlMgw
116Please respect copyright.PENANABpdg8YsBhO
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmNfdo4O1HR
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUPzExe04rh
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAydvY7K3dNP
116Please respect copyright.PENANA90zKpznmqT
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUCDhanvre8
116Please respect copyright.PENANAj4zsjYNzoj
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHSubO3IUkY
116Please respect copyright.PENANAuFpfQVjP8I
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmPRiN7BylA
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1v7LxVjaYo
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA56H4Nh0ZuH
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ4NZ76Iqf
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAk4BKckg2OO
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAkV3JOHfFhf
But Tech wasn’t done.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGyaxszxWrd
Tech: "Time to change things up."116Please respect copyright.PENANAIqZOhQ4geJ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiD9mpCWJuw
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoaAN0pQqmo
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxvmK7lH4O6
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUTDHqJHgFN
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJuvGuKUkaI
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiCf3AYo1aX
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmBEtqCWcnm
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKv7GGPyarq
116Please respect copyright.PENANASxT9QukvRB
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoSh9FlRhSA
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6bSg41pMPG
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4FAnUcYKWq
116Please respect copyright.PENANAToAQDYBDgr
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1rYXYfq0TU
116Please respect copyright.PENANAo6zrDnBnAN
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUL2hrf6HIB
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9hpKCPNL5Y
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAfCIRWi4ng
116Please respect copyright.PENANAY4jaGgg3v3
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvIgKxGhr6N
116Please respect copyright.PENANAI8cdholbg3
Tech: "Get over here!"
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoWZ0jndtJc
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfuH1ji9lhc
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMc7zFmigmz
116Please respect copyright.PENANAuYoXUhucZ1
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVwhBZfmkXp
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wflqv7SPG
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8edY4lMB0w
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZeuFvLtjLB
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
116Please respect copyright.PENANAL3mllaJSSV
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1KPRo4Bur4
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7f1oJ3WiIy
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwnGajsFfU8
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqlNAK09b9L
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHkraxKXGz9
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJ84YaQ8f42
116Please respect copyright.PENANASBCtTpMh2g
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANANUTJRLmvYl
116Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmSg00Tg5
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaIwou5HjLp
116Please respect copyright.PENANANjInhDb5HG
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAczezVo2Gq8
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAH9CJfnIyE
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0jmawyyZkO
116Please respect copyright.PENANACU5CscCgNY
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAR3vKt4wdrq
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYSAJR82DKM
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVairaQxgf6
116Please respect copyright.PENANACNII3bv5Hn
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMnot9IdmuD
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0nzMhh8qDo

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. 116Please respect copyright.PENANAWKm4xmZG4t
