Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWePEE0Q1JH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRiuXjX7G2
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR4cTm5oGJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN6Y758Uis
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6MFSAaEzc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHvYjfcZS2
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfmRl5UpFL
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4zBOCovym
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfNjMQAJl0
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytAYHTzyAV
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIwLBA6OW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsJIoQnmtC
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.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzdpNpMdke
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPHIDQv4bx
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKnLWLqn6p
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V1HgvFEoV
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3XATOWh2m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8TRSRp7S8
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOYpgE8UAN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCSgCLEjAU
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8VdSevTli
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc45FVgOooM
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtZfM0HmSr
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMClroOWo2
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTSobiRLmV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQzqvn3PvI
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzvPDHH27B
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1aV1EGSpB
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKl9EdXoKn
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqqn6Wcxsi
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kWC5QJXg4
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7V86gO6p
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ6yyPt97D
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRXXt97wyv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTAGABmOLM
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9rlvfXzUq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQnnQnJhua
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG1rYzpneS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl4JSYe7Kq
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb406fR27a

Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”

Kirche: ‘For now.’
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK65VA7uuc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6sNhd9Ey6
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I6M7Fv9B7
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVbInsXZky
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqYrZCRbWG
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5QL8SFeN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcXnTe8bG5
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLeL8FGtD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVScwv0dOcY
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhHYlwkFjl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzKJ40OhsP
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY3ntR35nm
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVExPic9Xu
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRuyQm5xuT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbvnae8Y72
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.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQA4hAKMa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4MzlPguu

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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxzQ8uKl9D
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmiD3KNrZC
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbaoJoFLKl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmi5LGnlkp
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wpXReREoC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGHXZdwjt7
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5wu1C0Rsa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL5gilYEMl
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLIMYmJpYA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLptBj5wK2
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fFKMylWPK
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU1b49jOZK
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHHy7SKDvk
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjez5RhAJ3
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgo7PJOUQS

“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMa9dLFvv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWcK9BnH6y
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYmDrgN9gD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHBgclDIkk
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0NwLqu0do
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYicmyvxMm
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ARy7d9Jt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueSLH2iwKh
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!
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6DVESwPd
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzTrIFoaNs
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYWCkTqFA8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsZB1p7eir
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsucnRhFOV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU2iMPTeli
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvECwmytfSo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXnyxwX3tF
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhfqW7xzJF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2lc1BDNfq
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkaxjNnHVX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ncV1axtYA
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJArwjOmijP
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL4g1BJSUz
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriaad4DFi9
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXwcBPLOLk
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIa2TiVujV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR0JZgu0dV
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSdURTZkMR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kYdQkXrex
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiJCkqSLCE
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZVOZCHGZH
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBymRH5joMT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9glx5xN5Ez
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckvyF4oyRP
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6vy1mDeJT
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ45pJi6p3
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF5bPq0aJ6
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY15btVW9w
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMl8efn4z5
Flamma: “Is that all?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ZoPZ5TfW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R2mqGiD13
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?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp7BEHKL55
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4zGISOSkV
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYhhcbS5E
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XyWQ5DUO6
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObHztvn6T5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ546tQ5CWcw
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpVduFT7Ab
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4C5trWPa2
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSxXHo2VLc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUi5KRYdQ
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eolWCsZoJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q0iDyM8fQ
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwBRGS7AhB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwaiDYjGT
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwk112Xrmu
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9QLxITmZd
Dove: “After you.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMQc8ljnPt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWa8pmJzDR
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ5PTLQBdB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSZPSCVJC
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZqMCYHeks
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0x9YQuQZM
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8sn7FDQMQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WuKON2PDU
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.’
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVH74P5uUn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dGhPkNsgZ
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilQZcP9yFf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1yDDFLf1H
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCetm0kTwTC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMO74r6MeB
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAc00fYUcH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9OgAlgtWD
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzdXGnwwUQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSdBc8PvRW
Dove: “Got it.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeCehZSU24
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUtMBeyEUc
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…
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq8z8WlSLJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb1Y5AtIVb
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyxm6w4qhr
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OvuNcGsy
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmsVYAs7J2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAXiKKJcQC
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9LZt0ozCe
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3xQmonhVz
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXtUmu6PxM
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HH0SAmQhe
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZk5QfJ0Q
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBfBoAkblq
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUkhuzShwI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNdgYVgL3D
Dove: “Agreed.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUp0PheKUI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7wf8KmLqL
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIQ1WUOMLk
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ07JDzeFdc
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkurnmAyfJq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuzpSpnRzR
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaQ03FobHU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraPVA2K4MG
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEUDyD7M0H
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSWRuFzv2T
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhRGTLUPh0
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOngjCzKMUS
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHleqbMyQV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZjBoOe73h
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjD4XRDHKr
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzEh3gRwqG
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9gmQqD0uK
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBMCXzBGAP
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYYwxdBS8
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs5b3G4uGS
But Tech wasn’t done.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOzcXC2CA
Tech: "Time to change things up."378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm81KPyOAN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0lpLNtAv
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5OECkYrWB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQXo1Fuxqn
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhTKW9LhxE
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7iwmjxE2s
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjE49k5C3T
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7aGZdtOX4
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKbmsjvILW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiguHp7tx7
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhKoVGxPG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKXXNMRrQ
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUoyc70H3e
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ0fsj6FPg
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbVm5lsQE1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme8AK4YJz9
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l9sDqxHgZ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5tfX8dAC3
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMm6JLsw5Q
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrmKpL6Rb
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMU3Q85KWl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EIdEyxgM6
Tech: "Get over here!"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCz61rU9zm
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftSeSs5kof
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdjF6tS287
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcCex5Dski
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kLdBu74T
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvcCH83Nli
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?"

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.”

Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”

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.
