Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6ttgAjEmrA
676Please respect copyright.PENANAn2bgr9mzIW
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPh5s92Myfu
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgWYhDO3bUE
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAY2JKaJ9KbE
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxFcctKoRcF
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAAwW3CRqeUT
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7Lh6f0xHH0
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUx1e7V1amk
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ98dVzPRv
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAINVzsAJFVH
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmWbRadf76E
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.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAsKujgszleo
676Please respect copyright.PENANAeVI2mDoHuM
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjdEGwauEsP
676Please respect copyright.PENANATD91l4Rx6H
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhFENPMh3h6
676Please respect copyright.PENANADxA0zU0dim
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgnkMrm64cm
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlYNomunF9a
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAO2W8FGClF6
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7FdCeC15zB
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAWdixhl8V9A
676Please respect copyright.PENANARsApMm41hW
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANApehuampRM0
676Please respect copyright.PENANAa89uxGviWg
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA0j3PaiAPOP
676Please respect copyright.PENANASC82umuX9Q
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA28TT4atTk0
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOq7dDn8v8T
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOUdHWboOuM
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmQpIf3FEpm
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIiJ0OtHEJZ
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmWXvGwzjol
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhWNyjhRDOl
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANASqZ4tkYHCC
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhrNrYKWqff
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAapLuZvNwX4
676Please respect copyright.PENANArPrvXV0snE
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAsXblOtppOu
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzPcUTfCQz7
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxf3fWGOAPW
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3E1f4GShky
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
676Please respect copyright.PENANACfy3OEBOuS
676Please respect copyright.PENANApwbaQuGOMW
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXlmlVNNAiv
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhXjF6rL2Ic
Kirche: ‘For now.’
676Please respect copyright.PENANAtKevitKVwR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnCBBq1QGiW
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAikGr2gwnue
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgwcpRedwmM
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAghxXjWASy9
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyxCJhnGhMn
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAKumas7M6It
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4mAU78NAG8
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAVMe4CmEBPp
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHBsbkhtDjf
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJr9pZ5hY6X
676Please respect copyright.PENANANd5u8W7T6s
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIvf11uGyXw
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXowdFOm02p
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2kDY8PiIU
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOQdAPj2IHZ
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.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAO1rynBrA5E
676Please respect copyright.PENANABVbmXigovm
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAcD45IXllWk
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbL50NNxrux
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXLLCj5Dxwq
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuoiI0uPdCa
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbwwFFsIHzi
676Please respect copyright.PENANAloxvjayPm7
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
676Please respect copyright.PENANASvb7Y9uctI
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZvPpQxannf
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPvQTCyEI2M
676Please respect copyright.PENANAc0jkqVqb4q
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJgYWJ1d0MV
676Please respect copyright.PENANABbcbA0lFbG
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANACPKz3w88oH
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5vZbA7NJqr
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHYeE1Fv6Zx
676Please respect copyright.PENANArQyeo9pWnY
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2EWjV12FwO
676Please respect copyright.PENANAsxb7sZJQOu
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANACYNBIPfRjJ
676Please respect copyright.PENANANTzfEtlnVG
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoER2U2WrtB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAsD4cUJcFkf
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAk7RBmJgQHB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxjEqE43gqR
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7i3xcaKjlp
676Please respect copyright.PENANAYSjM9droej
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!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxNk9HqroBG
676Please respect copyright.PENANAst5CMgVoap
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
676Please respect copyright.PENANALmNQoSf1tL
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIqsi63rDlT
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjGtumBE71K
676Please respect copyright.PENANA0CEIIOp9bh
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7aIPqy8jHe
676Please respect copyright.PENANAcz4R8PFW1g
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAppvW7eq7QF
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvtT4IHRXJE
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANARVR32hmgD0
676Please respect copyright.PENANAkK1mnRRjbv
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zi9UZCcFF
676Please respect copyright.PENANA62l2Umbr5E
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAE0Sk107Ecn
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMqJVAQ9dAD
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANABRAkxs56ab
676Please respect copyright.PENANACsAd3Lh5ZV
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOmWPzdkpJt
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgkOi9OEIWx
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
676Please respect copyright.PENANApmlBaVFIvz
676Please respect copyright.PENANAA3e3h0S2yA
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXBWKA4fvTt
676Please respect copyright.PENANAWd7wiJj17e
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAYd1PQX9eAQ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAAF1gtVM3OL
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAriwZb4qL5Q
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnGvIqMfDYE
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
676Please respect copyright.PENANABowpBOZYdE
676Please respect copyright.PENANAVoj4GZgdK5
Flamma: “Is that all?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4xHarLeXzx
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlazyCca4h6
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?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHG8JPsnsfx
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMlvNOXirFR
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAiPbpEa13ZF
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHInQJtHFkE
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPQcG7bA6vp
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3qi7V1IeAQ
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAA9XEboGv4I
676Please respect copyright.PENANAVlPrZ89pDI
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnm67oM1Ucd
676Please respect copyright.PENANApiOwvKuxeA
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5SRZlFU34K
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxYxgVKaICF
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAYsWeNy1wGp
676Please respect copyright.PENANA20aKr6bCyv
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmM9KBp5O9a
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxB2jf4W4KH
Dove: “After you.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANACUQ6AJjvcp
676Please respect copyright.PENANArSFuhh14uG
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlVJUFmIXqe
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhpHlj0fs1a
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmq1VSaWvZf
676Please respect copyright.PENANA8BVzSldM4y
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAEG2iQfXi7R
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kzeb1P7b0
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.’
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIGlq0iBDKN
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXRrKNvqBCR
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAm76vO9w1Pg
676Please respect copyright.PENANArdfecKEfPm
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMuUREL4TDi
676Please respect copyright.PENANAioWGRl7vtU
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPedq1aXBTB
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6yXrKK8obj
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvx4MIWYlq0
676Please respect copyright.PENANAO5vO74atTH
Dove: “Got it.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAitUNxDOu3I
676Please respect copyright.PENANAU3llLNmtUF
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…
676Please respect copyright.PENANAl4WTEG5ePF
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuz9GogiGHd
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZXdaJQGfVg
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlxWu9YpTx6
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuImNYOt1Ip
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPc6XZqG0qb
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPlbvoDWxf8
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPU4cGy9Llp
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
676Please respect copyright.PENANACc3Mrblr3D
676Please respect copyright.PENANArH53nya1hG
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPHnWZluwYy
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIXlXkdscu3
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jbvf8PFKV
676Please respect copyright.PENANAiRLGoZZtvS
Dove: “Agreed.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbCemhnJ62N
676Please respect copyright.PENANAia0c3uG8c2
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAS7MJljWV3Q
676Please respect copyright.PENANASPRqbUoApO
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6F4JbMo60r
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5XhVI3kyie
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOrloYKeJ1u
676Please respect copyright.PENANAc4j4pDYIQy
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXNlvqweRuq
676Please respect copyright.PENANAdG4tzab13U
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ34RFftbs
676Please respect copyright.PENANARbZZdu8yJ1
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnWedKGoeKr
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4mDYE5Z1pw
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgmOhceDGpg
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbUwmjkSdtT
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAsGzazLsZpj
676Please respect copyright.PENANASMrWYfKzpt
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAqQTPTViXvl
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAy1GOqqnaMA
But Tech wasn’t done.
676Please respect copyright.PENANALoaKh4oPZx
Tech: "Time to change things up."676Please respect copyright.PENANAeWeB1sv4QP
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPkSjSRbVrt
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2kK0GqqB0O
676Please respect copyright.PENANA8dXCsvKyL7
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmIDRnIQZ8x
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6quFHeKEVT
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANADIWKGbATkH
676Please respect copyright.PENANAWwIrfOpFNY
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
676Please respect copyright.PENANATHKgZOBLtM
676Please respect copyright.PENANABqnRBuIPm2
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbfl7CtLoKI
676Please respect copyright.PENANACW713b6oci
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvzmHqJil6N
676Please respect copyright.PENANAAFbGdtttVB
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAdTDH5irSwL
676Please respect copyright.PENANARzJFvZOR5B
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoaovQc3E2l
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZvJK2Z7WE6
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANASld4AVd5Rb
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2EfRhDhW4D
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
676Please respect copyright.PENANAn9yAmcA2UK
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXz0VIKoyMo
Tech: "Get over here!"
676Please respect copyright.PENANAC7v3OWl3sd
676Please respect copyright.PENANAI95c6S5COf
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAVlh0pdYNzx
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZrFOpPvy5G
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.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA610e49HLN8
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvXbVNaJaQj
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnOnRWrrs7o
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXW2D40GNJZ
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzL9khd2RqN
676Please respect copyright.PENANA54pYJ6iuvl
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAng2uCZpzjv
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlM44IBbUNp
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPv2UiPyRCW
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZHJ4ePTeA0
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAS6MeAjvACa
676Please respect copyright.PENANALQEZFD7U77
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvNwhFAqkEp
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvSmNZty85N
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAGzQZrdEB4t
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzPDKdAsYpB
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgMZCHv20vn
676Please respect copyright.PENANAGq1EvuniNm
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAEvqH4mRreZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAigGISx2k2y
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Rov46VU7
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMagHgC0LkQ
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
676Please respect copyright.PENANAYbbeeDyxMb
676Please respect copyright.PENANA8hMllcPDOF
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2rMC1iPzPY

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.”

Dove: “That…and humility.”

The crowd was stunned by the display of power. Some for different reasons than others.

For the nobles, this was a wake-up call. Sure, Flamma wasn’t fully human but Dove and Tech were human to them. Despite being commoners, they had the ability and/or resources to challenge them.

Jake was surprised by just how advanced Tech’s arsenal was. If his world was that far ahead, even he would have trouble with it.

Tabitha originally followed Kirche just out of habit. She didn’t really care about the duel. But now she’s glad she came. Tech has caught her eye. The knowledge the boy must have to build all of this in one day. It’s truly fascinating.

Zander has seen many things but even he was impressed by the technology on display. He’s interested in what else Tech can do. Maybe he can even help his own realm.

Kirche only came here to spend more time with Zander. She didn’t care about this fight one bit. Tech did impress her but Flamma and Dove drew her attention more. She couldn’t help but see them as rivals for Zander’s affections. And with the skills they’ve shown, Kirche may have to step it up a notch to keep ahead.

Raskreia was possibly the only one not too surprised by the events. The only thing that did surprised her was Flamma’s dragon nature. It was much like her own, there’s even an air of divinity to her. Rask will definitely ask her about it later.

Osmund was deeply worried. Tech has shown to be very dangerous if trifled with and his full abilities haven’t been shown. With the support of Louise’s familiar and a maid with sword skills far above the norm, there is much to worry about.

Aeron wasn’t impressed by the maids but Tech could be trouble. He can tell that he will get even stronger in the future. Worse still, he has a good relationship with Flamma. The only other familiar that has some pull on Louise. Flamma alone was bad enough but her with Tech will be an issue. This is one weed he feels the need to cut quickly.

Miss Longuevuille was unsure what to think. In the beginning, she thought the old man made a mistake betting his money on the commoners. She was greatly mistaken. This had her shaken up for sure.

Colbert was amazed by Tech’s abilities but his focus was on Flamma’s runes. They were quite strange and somewhat familiar. He will be paying a visit to the library after this.

Louise was amazed. Yes, Tech was incredible and Dove impressive. Both beings she summoned and that is something to be happy about. But her focus was on Flamma. She wasn’t a commoner, but somehow part dragon. Her first familiar, the one that accepted her.

She could have easily refused like the other dragon but instead chose her despite having the power to refuse. Everyone else probably saw her abyssal eyes and felt fear. But for Louise, she thought they were the most beautiful things she had ever seen.

But more than any of the ones before, the one most affected was Siesta. It was a dream. A part of her didn’t want to believe what she saw because it was so impossible. But it happened. In all rights, she helped make history happen. But at the moment, she didn’t care. She was touched that they would go so far for her. She has truly never had friends like them.

She ran up to her fellow maids and jumped into their arms, giving them the warmest hug she could manage. They readily returned it.

Dove: “Right, commoners have a right to happiness too. Now come on, I’m sure Tech would appreciate a hug too.”

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. 676Please respect copyright.PENANA39PmgBzFB6
