Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAClPmagWf4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX2bRiUsvM
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJI9cmHFsn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ4Vh13xll
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpa971Mwm2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTJ8ciJ9Ah
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCcjhOR58f
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD5Vf55sAq
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4P3r4kjYR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zL0VqkRwo
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s18YWC1ik
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5iUi3bXUR
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.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HKtSdsxUx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwfQYHxPBH
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYqGwt1UsC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKPvUHfnf6
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq4F5cOOCd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7eA4FK1CG
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4egCNwIMfL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8X973CSR0
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cxHVXJZ2R
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYx3nN0mBs
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxDYYTCfrL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOteOBiYH4
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvbHci1Ysm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEPGBpKLa9
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGoufwSHF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXHm7fLg0f
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZQ8wTbaFt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqziHhhhRi
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYFwyit6kd
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PORi1Zk8R
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgqSX0X2nf
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbxrkzA62Q
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Rixtqya4
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxYt268Epm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuKidpGKdQ
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6F7myJpJ1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76MSnUdQln
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPys8T4i09K
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8EqZUMjdt
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKL8TXIMX0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFYz89jnPL
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3LKlfZT67
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tBB8jYezH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VQRCgVwnZ
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwrkN97iYz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnbjgGOtcU
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUgXxcA3Ok
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjalNliiyu
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41sXG1fr6M
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3YH1yb0Sf
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWpitn88JG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC2zu2Iqsb
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.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9gx99MYzj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYx7mMyg0Z

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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0n0tSMjJF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxz4pYNQHJ
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4YOsw7pQO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPbMpVGoJq
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUs65oKyy
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iUFmVDpEu
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1RG5Yo8D
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hAyhjM6iU
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnkOgwt8E7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDNZC6jZIw
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsgSAsBIoP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnSooEyQ2y
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zGRD5Dv3n
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYGBtFndCZ
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFuWTnW5pk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ceHMiRDZ
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Anc3BNnRr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Fq3XZDID
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF3pBgwCSq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GHIxM0MJu
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcev56a9m71
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3J3R9BJVr
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kGZODXGG3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4e8CMkOM1
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!
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fMeEchl6f
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp25mLWD3F
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqoaAZIenl
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrKsqV2mYN
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZEUOM5R1q
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrViHERF4Y
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLNeTkdYAt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFZNDqtJsz
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2RxMKjYbg
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuobWZ3Hcjd
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyr3oXk4rx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ7Zw3v1wJ
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwSvKrCNnD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH95xozbI8
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljqDT2rrgz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5pCxZ9hpn
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsr5LPmo07
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnPsH2qIeU
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Q3JbGM58
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4KHKAT03Z
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9HQj8eOeb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZvRzkWctC
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM9kcrKJhI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYHf4Ygb2W
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMWG2CkMHI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQkg26wZxA
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupZZ6LOkAZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdTNMVoRmr
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI1w3G3bdn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONDMcTRKJ
Flamma: “Is that all?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3KkzC9wHR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5klo3mC2j
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?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmh7u9yd5u
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQpf0XYfu
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK4LYH2rg2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjG3PWcHZO
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseQGx2oi9g
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeim70oR0Ni
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOx14vbScA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfkpyddagH
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bIeCxvw11
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLNeH4wzMl
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IspLmkLaJ

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHeNugaSvD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8qSIPV41k
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQeBNTgBre
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmZaPBDwbc
Dove: “After you.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uZVpX9WRU

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnTgrBHiZT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8m6gaG9h1
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiioZn1pIqR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKTiFHqoDT
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXSp1Qh69u
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDhcmGirU6
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.’
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bLraixm0A
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYD24q716r
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgOI7nqdmC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BAbkz4XQc
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbqzH25dJ5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTB8O4hHwn
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhmm1jIag0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35UIXr8Spo
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavNFt5g19w
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNk6JJgkBn
Dove: “Got it.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtijoeOwIR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85qXyBRU0
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…
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4P4GQLF9d
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQgZdFmxS
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8kocxr7FZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ni4VeRE1
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnsL1j76uL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyp30ICs3i
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPE7O33YBI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUg09oB4YD
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnlMCpBtjZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhf1ukJsfp
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMvqXZ0e5X
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yyLCGZDkP
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwDPqTS3NS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIPSSy3zx
Dove: “Agreed.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSCvC9WWrQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXRSwh98QP
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P5yDdwO1O
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVOnMwqPTi
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB64EfIMuy
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DxfgQWkMx
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdkUUe0U9C
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HOUnl5x3
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug5uogPF3A
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQYxBc6CBn
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5uc5CCrGb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmhYY0El88
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI67136Auk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsFZGbYI7h
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1UWWfKzJ3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9MTA1hlR5
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ITpVlVJY
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdSTzciluP
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5ttDbx9O
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TvBoAuKgq
But Tech wasn’t done.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Cem30nEf
Tech: "Time to change things up."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFOP6XRQtv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGl2RKXoyn
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2dWLxxRPt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsWhHvIKT2
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUj4G2eX9U
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ576vWQjS
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrRff6Lwdo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqKibGgmBF
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NncJQbjwX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tVngcKyTO
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNUQpAfEU2

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddcILUM5ws
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAKbgoKswv
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyjBL7yEc1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhAYC9KFUi
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnZ6mqHsRM
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlVS6ttRVL
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF1ScteFd5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRzqp8SGn4
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpRcCPa3yb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW1sA6M0tn
Tech: "Get over here!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2bb6Ox2fr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaZOSanqhd
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMMnmA6qxL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkossmg0v3
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTtbRDNn52
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CLCpIYiP2
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.”

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.

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. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKE707KBzj
