Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAhypyclXJKI
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoohLmeeQOw
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOlFPvEpu3U
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuA4s8ARZda
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWayG2qI9UC
120Please respect copyright.PENANAO8dHtV9bsv
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIs1UKkKcXv
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeiWDDLHxDJ
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAE7EgBXk218
120Please respect copyright.PENANAwjl6uz2ZCo
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfX95xhIfJR
120Please respect copyright.PENANAW6oFKdEdhj
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.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAj8DDVYd9T2
120Please respect copyright.PENANATvZTt1ALQ5
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbDRFasJQC1
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8IAYyK0YCZ
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfi0tQNUEwo
120Please respect copyright.PENANALbNR1V9MA4
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvviKijXT4M
120Please respect copyright.PENANATpLKrLDDMy
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQzuU5Fb2Yc
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOX3La7EYub
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANApFDXDkUhSg
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbdrjE4CYOG
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYcGWO5m4UH
120Please respect copyright.PENANANBPvOUqid1
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqMl3WLzVf8
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0s8R9ITaNc
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIH3WL5Pyce
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyO9QmarBH6
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqCP7rUzDES
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAymHXapHJNL
120Please respect copyright.PENANAdJQyNH30Um
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbcJhH01BHC
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjqbhd1tRPO
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxvzJSXQByq
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKSNMxhaaHw
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4xvIYetP4a
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5v7mKdzPWs
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMMmIr19ZuF
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7LpYqTSS8F
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAb7oEsPWVL9
120Please respect copyright.PENANAkEM0j91Wze
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0GVH748M5q
120Please respect copyright.PENANAF3N9tBGfjZ
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZXCfduzZo5
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZkpQj5I46h
Kirche: ‘For now.’
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0uswXeG4hE
120Please respect copyright.PENANAulJK5Rq2SC
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxJryAZ3MZx
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQaICc2zXt9
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zt8sfyDRB
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsPT9XfmTKQ
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYK51Lvtc5x
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvFKSn73Zpv
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANADzukLiiyku
120Please respect copyright.PENANAV9EXQ3CCpz
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPu2ctj8AmS
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7wuMCCsjvS
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAd2xtoiPrTF
120Please respect copyright.PENANAd2ZWyKxDU1
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMFRPbAqM4c
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmKS7OrYtBD
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.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJvh9DXKPDD
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5H8DY1CbBh
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPjP0lz6Yrc
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHFvnxYlc0S
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMyk2MfdF30
120Please respect copyright.PENANA33W7Abl4d8
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAwwEO42fpRS
120Please respect copyright.PENANAH4KtQYrjZN
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
120Please respect copyright.PENANAkUbY4p2dnz
120Please respect copyright.PENANAperkTlgViZ
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEebvM8X9EK
120Please respect copyright.PENANAhIFo3G5KSX
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbxpdL6WHIR
120Please respect copyright.PENANAipyX7s3wvw
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAd3y4GIeVKf
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4623w8M6E8
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1a88FyyTO9
120Please respect copyright.PENANA42DttB75RX
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXhAm3JLJos
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJxCC1nfwau
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANATkgw9OrIyw
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZH3YpHqE3f
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxeIA5hGDnf
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgEFxG0SrEI
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWhUInxjKNu
120Please respect copyright.PENANAepgWeztM7B
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAixHQOp2hSQ
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0CWEW9o7sS
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!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXKv8gigeNa
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuOSZNTWhxO
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
120Please respect copyright.PENANALBp3CMiSuS
120Please respect copyright.PENANAL4lPdx7ARI
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA83TNeQxHlt
120Please respect copyright.PENANANFwrY1S1Nw
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA04hkSlkuHJ
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1p4F8GjAY6
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeRuGJRjrA9
120Please respect copyright.PENANAg0293D3Tk2
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAs1tBrsbtd6
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXShI61NJHe
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAf4tjX75JMJ
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPCZFDxLaNj
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA9lA5stEA9u
120Please respect copyright.PENANAV4PlnT7AiI
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA9DAO6eqM7M
120Please respect copyright.PENANAduo6Db2E0P
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuKeDI2T72O
120Please respect copyright.PENANA9hUJowF4go
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
120Please respect copyright.PENANAahbnlhthuW
120Please respect copyright.PENANACZ4weZBO4E
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQbB6V1YGZ2
120Please respect copyright.PENANAg7CrFQDQy8
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8BxoK4rMNx
120Please respect copyright.PENANAkYApeGsPIC
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAilMI54rv1A
120Please respect copyright.PENANAO31siMv1Lq
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKxf3CXGY5h
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsbkKazNmod
Flamma: “Is that all?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXjcIlHwujv
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiAqGm30Sth
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?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5QGyg6nZlo
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiUDxwArxvP
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAdLJRNdRPZf
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIyqkxT2Rg6
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoXwHq2LvNX
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8SLXQlNvMu
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmBiZMT8Nfg
120Please respect copyright.PENANAC2IXnSSVWb
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEkvHIGondI
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJz23kpp8b7
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyzso6V09rv
120Please respect copyright.PENANAP312p7UMi7
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAb7aF52E5fk
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Mp0JwpTs
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJPmCHVeqMu
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8CUiFpbHkb
Dove: “After you.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsYdqwa6Wps
120Please respect copyright.PENANAn4aYmNAitQ
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAy7EYK2HROO
120Please respect copyright.PENANAaKPnZKNwVV
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0FnS6S1cKd
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYSE2AfgFAb
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFlOTGhv6pH
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZSp67mD1EU
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.’
120Please respect copyright.PENANAb4LjQvmUoy
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqicA4w5tts
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA498yVYtOIW
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUFN6HGu45z
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAr3TttK50A3
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcbo0BVA6Mb
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJCW3peMn0a
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKUdupNxQBk
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7nnZ7vCEhM
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyelV80Sd0n
Dove: “Got it.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ9zj7oMQ1
120Please respect copyright.PENANAH4RvfL5c3C
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…
120Please respect copyright.PENANAglQdrUluxT
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlYiVjazUMv
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjxnLNTeQ9V
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4DgGXHcTzx
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAscwUsEvc8h
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIWcjY4hJVD
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyGuwvICq63
120Please respect copyright.PENANAi3HtLbdKAe
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMalbMBsDFD
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7BJZQjHL4b
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYCIW4NsSKL
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjcH7huVYkN
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANADNuw1MxXYr
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXDjDXpmWUU
Dove: “Agreed.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAA4JriNGVtu
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmRWawdYRXV
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEVWlGiG4Oc
120Please respect copyright.PENANAh7jQNZitHK
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANARs191oe4oi
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1lO8gQ2MuN
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAA7K8ZG8cef
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlujptyMbWG
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGLmZtSsY85
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgxz99CO1zw
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKe2r05gNPP
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPqkJblEIyz
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAH7itjGxGS6
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvjSnx18ROd
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIViCU7wQZh
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMrXfaOG9JG
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
120Please respect copyright.PENANApNilUgzjvt
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWMhqnbokO7
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvZxF5IMhZ2
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAffWIzadgDk
But Tech wasn’t done.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjRKyfRweHa
Tech: "Time to change things up."120Please respect copyright.PENANApo1UBnjjrs
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGfZYHVLyiY
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA52jBQwOZ3W
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFlj0vKTP9t
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA39Ex5HYntK
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHM4KXPpgde
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUKXxI2mXs2
120Please respect copyright.PENANAas0AEIvyhI
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA9bZdmvLDLw
120Please respect copyright.PENANADs7qbgFYvu
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2LLb9oV7v2
120Please respect copyright.PENANAhgCq0teAax
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAB2qJ0LOa8N
120Please respect copyright.PENANAaEkVHMWA4C
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWrTEI5KHbm
120Please respect copyright.PENANAP6YfIS6S4f
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANABOPJ8y5p8C
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQgqpjdVmWH
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ENX5Q7cR
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXu3b4frXYR
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
120Please respect copyright.PENANApv87aHd6id
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZA6SXb2dyw
Tech: "Get over here!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWNo6TTwKC5
120Please respect copyright.PENANAG0kA2497lt
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPQZ0V6EY9M
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjk8CH60hkd
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAn1BhCvBELu
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxC4k9LdIG3
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOzKaAg2b6F
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5e6cI4yIac
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPQI8Ef6HVh
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfpLKEt4fLS
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
120Please respect copyright.PENANASssUIO8eOr
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAuuCHcK25O
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAnPEVs3gymM
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiwpuVGpWRt
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA29rDEV9nVk
120Please respect copyright.PENANAnqeNIE32mv
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgxV0Wow7VT
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiYM3wBRx9v
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
120Please respect copyright.PENANALZEG1TVmjK
120Please respect copyright.PENANACM7vEJlZNG
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjzJ78Dh7E1
120Please respect copyright.PENANACmHUQ1Dhau
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqZA9OjMI5a
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3BO4iV4EuJ
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlE6b7NUkNG
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGkhYM6p80S
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANA16UZEbTvH7
120Please respect copyright.PENANAojnB0Gks9h
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

Flamma: “You know, I’m starting to think this was all a big waste of time.”

Dove: “It wasn’t all bad. We saved Siesta and I think Guiche learned a valuable lesson.”

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. 120Please respect copyright.PENANArnaTT4hc5q
