Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAbPcAfdba5e
382Please respect copyright.PENANAgIteA9Gi2M
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAhcDy7jkaAe
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8qCanBN3n5
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKrYx4W8PpQ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWUYoknkLL2
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjIumbzpAXp
382Please respect copyright.PENANAHmTnqYdHLy
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ63tvPH9X
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAkNGqoZ86w
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAzV70S3O9dg
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKeZbeo3WIt
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.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAA2JdByonVm
382Please respect copyright.PENANALu4c5okCr0
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwXkHi3Bmjp
382Please respect copyright.PENANAGWiiuQ7lyV
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA6xyQUxupT9
382Please respect copyright.PENANAROjkFZsSz5
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0NGwCQgZVn
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWjCIAE4u2P
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAC4s6eSjC9e
382Please respect copyright.PENANADLJdlaeT7Q
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANATsatZQoPCo
382Please respect copyright.PENANAs01PdOCPKA
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANATYE6FElZgM
382Please respect copyright.PENANAbamAxPFYlF
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAohsDh1gQC6
382Please respect copyright.PENANADKUvLFeyJn
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA51YxejT1VC
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjVRiGfBAqV
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAzGLxyjFPzb
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANALKJDvcm6VD
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsY1KY5yGVv
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtScQdRkisJ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAq1lQF7tEmT
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAHeuVY2Ecrl
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWuRbv6WcVI
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAb52DLd7WgY
382Please respect copyright.PENANA75bQsUX6NE
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA7BWphmItwB
382Please respect copyright.PENANAF7fKMdDZBe
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAUnwxEtT3R7
382Please respect copyright.PENANAg8KK2puf72
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8J4LRu8r4i
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2x7hkPoGjb
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAoMRWI70J4I
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1xsTbY0KJn
Kirche: ‘For now.’
382Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ4wwgK8NI
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1mwM9qmOyH
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA57PskjMM6R
382Please respect copyright.PENANA70OgAumuJO
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAGxNmdy4SdC
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwZyL0Ikyld
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsYO7QhL4sj
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZVHHj2X92
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA7Otbk5Qdzu
382Please respect copyright.PENANAt1NM2rgyc3
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAN0kjEB4j4x
382Please respect copyright.PENANAa4vCnlIW0L
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAl1uvJemlwX
382Please respect copyright.PENANAX0jgtnNA3y
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANALCTD78Uj1w
382Please respect copyright.PENANAF4ccuRuehr
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.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAv9J1pZUotF
382Please respect copyright.PENANATzuq536DSG
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1MGH7JY5Dj
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmxdbhsRsVj
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXvapt9QHCY
382Please respect copyright.PENANAYk1oge3XZu
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA5NlqAnyS0u
382Please respect copyright.PENANA6jjPTrSAYm
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
382Please respect copyright.PENANAf8lW3yge2v
382Please respect copyright.PENANAgmhFgt868K
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAgMaJD1qByr
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2HfTqsIDN
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqa4nnI7EMe
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjnRUVylMUU
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3qxw1x9rEu
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAJQ6kPf5d7
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
382Please respect copyright.PENANASHQT4QDzJr
382Please respect copyright.PENANAN4JRlywEqQ
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
382Please respect copyright.PENANAe4rDiTKKhX
382Please respect copyright.PENANAdknzRKUqxV
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZrIaTIOaH
382Please respect copyright.PENANACuQUTFrHZ3
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAJZcyXLZYDv
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOXzglfnNCZ
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAIt4kXU5YHG
382Please respect copyright.PENANAYb27w3leS3
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmdKIlBPUAf
382Please respect copyright.PENANAFOCPhgUlpd
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!
382Please respect copyright.PENANA08QS9MZVss
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2dwGMJcrvx
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
382Please respect copyright.PENANASi40ZleTe6
382Please respect copyright.PENANAbM6EhBMSYU
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3NlfdvQeXT
382Please respect copyright.PENANAg2fhhQSJE7
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANANH2cmwH8Rl
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1xHNZPinDC
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1QB68AIZ2j
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWg7XTRB12Z
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANABrXZm8RaPX
382Please respect copyright.PENANAkSb9D9BAg4
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAuuipg04TIV
382Please respect copyright.PENANAfxJFRTPfgK
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAvuxvaMKIcj
382Please respect copyright.PENANAkrClJfrtTH
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAK0hwBhBql3
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2ifrmZYOqW
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxw5k16BFQw
382Please respect copyright.PENANA9WOYRk5CNL
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
382Please respect copyright.PENANABkYOSUsSIX
382Please respect copyright.PENANAANE57vP1hK
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAEMz1or6yR8
382Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ87zwhpzL
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA5AuFRdEvvL
382Please respect copyright.PENANA4eO64R7iGL
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANANCJqjisQIk
382Please respect copyright.PENANAU04vcoj1mK
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA9rtNvjTSLi
382Please respect copyright.PENANAFI7a87B9Pk
Flamma: “Is that all?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXEpwvhzehd
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8sLlWEHwsQ
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?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmm7CqSCfa2
382Please respect copyright.PENANAdXuOxyWPMP
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANADqPHCxmitT
382Please respect copyright.PENANAUKfvjCn0tO
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGZmkH0FN
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8UVehTsM4s
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPMnAYS5bch
382Please respect copyright.PENANAn68mFEO0Nh
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAMsuD76MMTT
382Please respect copyright.PENANAlysR1huAUx
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAyjg4wSmGQU
382Please respect copyright.PENANAhu1sqkUp5S
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQryTzLZXnQ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAzs1kW4yMgy
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAz2oD683im0
382Please respect copyright.PENANARlYB83qS2K
Dove: “After you.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqOvgyjIRZS
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwNzBo1lVFr
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANANNMGbiX3Pr
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKuepeVtM6i
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAdeg1xHoAZl
382Please respect copyright.PENANAixLnJqEu1c
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAnqQIuUzJXK
382Please respect copyright.PENANAozj6Vwe7HG
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.’
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXlONLyGjOo
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmyaegL2inf
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtL2P6QgTVG
382Please respect copyright.PENANAhA8AyRXL96
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
382Please respect copyright.PENANALH6aqVFG2d
382Please respect copyright.PENANALPrSQL94q5
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAluvCLf7kK
382Please respect copyright.PENANArMQJK2cesG
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAnvqJwxtqyR
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0innP1IyTT
Dove: “Got it.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAItfas3akqU
382Please respect copyright.PENANAbk6qKJ8rxa
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…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAI9J4el8lwf
382Please respect copyright.PENANAJickB2Nr88
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAeXce3X13pz
382Please respect copyright.PENANApVHoPB9i7I
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0jJeBgxMoY
382Please respect copyright.PENANASAqy7itr8G
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANArBpfSDnbR6
382Please respect copyright.PENANAEXcHlNYHBr
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
382Please respect copyright.PENANAvIN9yMybem
382Please respect copyright.PENANAvlomiN34we
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAt0qRmFCZX2
382Please respect copyright.PENANArESvLdFErM
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA5YGkPREyvM
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXXqRnWsap4
Dove: “Agreed.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANA4c4FUJZzrf
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsB7SBgxOme
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKrLI7q0Zmb
382Please respect copyright.PENANA7siXX4GVDj
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAipLPipvATh
382Please respect copyright.PENANA6EEMinS8Hx
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAh9OZrJLqLJ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAGUFnfzFsps
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAHfniZyMxzU
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPvlMp8aJLD
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmqCoo4x4eu
382Please respect copyright.PENANACHld2OFUbp
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWUVkLGUuT8
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOKps1ldKzh
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAImZ2ioc3xg
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKb5qrEII6f
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAudjD5MoBXd
382Please respect copyright.PENANAHXfWhBl4zA
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAddPVPIv9VI
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAig5Q4XMXQe
But Tech wasn’t done.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAhWMDoEA8r5
Tech: "Time to change things up."382Please respect copyright.PENANAdZCggnJdW8
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXi7FYDFS04
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAr8F7zT6D8p
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKJk8jefl8v
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA265J5Nez0V
382Please respect copyright.PENANA08obmIVRej
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjVYwaTByhp
382Please respect copyright.PENANA6E9Y5xMmt3
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2w3g9YS1Vv
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxCwakI49ot
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqt4KQ9cemT
382Please respect copyright.PENANA6yMlAAUnTJ
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
382Please respect copyright.PENANAj0idvUyoC5
382Please respect copyright.PENANADNAJY4EOG8
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANATLR43U7xwO
382Please respect copyright.PENANAdij6MW7VsT
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjwZjl5DSc5
382Please respect copyright.PENANA230t9AWGi6
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWqUDBKBGtP
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAxdpnPHj8m
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
382Please respect copyright.PENANAvBPGDXAo7v
382Please respect copyright.PENANAfSMJqPZBUJ
Tech: "Get over here!"
382Please respect copyright.PENANAZEAIVwNB44
382Please respect copyright.PENANAW1wyy4NCAq
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ2RTRkE9w
382Please respect copyright.PENANA9F0JhFfwvn
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPBhx1yUO5k
382Please respect copyright.PENANAEC36ECR2oX
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAuiTEHfihWl
382Please respect copyright.PENANABF5zn1wXbl
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmRuqIJFD5S
382Please respect copyright.PENANAg5BjrGtdbx
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8tnzeaJUuC
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwV9lxRccQY
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAdjqt4by8UQ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAoF66s1yxZZ
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAj1ZJGKXWGs
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsulP52cC2n
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANABbo8Bp8Amj
382Please respect copyright.PENANAucSNeWCJj4
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAl2ta6OEkYg
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtd53VWycKb
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAVSn2gVQ1UX
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsHyy6wEhcE
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAEwm1Mgulgh
382Please respect copyright.PENANAYUoe7CUBp6
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsRwFu3DtcU
382Please respect copyright.PENANAyZMjMcUkvk
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
382Please respect copyright.PENANAw83iCxV78A
382Please respect copyright.PENANAl819LMqaMt
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAVKZjoEstoy
382Please respect copyright.PENANAh8vVISQLtW
Flamma: “You know, I’m starting to think this was all a big waste of time.”

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. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAvAwOJ8CwUX
