Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgjvH0dhDKY
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqQTvcu98tY
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEw8MCADNNA
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtpiQFcpuUV
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtcOm72xbHR
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWadS7HkhCr
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsaDwujp6BM
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOqKxg3tfRy
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAk2QxHpPtCO
310Please respect copyright.PENANADRyOUJqKqi
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAed1srFutVp
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoHTs1uAvTm
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.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJ098CcpJ9S
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4pfMqZQomJ
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkME5SFt4Ls
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwvfic1unh4
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANALMcAX0j7po
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmOXXKZqrcP
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOFPp0ergln
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKKRtFTXker
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYN9W9bKIlV
310Please respect copyright.PENANAte1fopvsIs
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAT5EVdUu2oW
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEotSa15Uaj
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAcm0CPZ8pog
310Please respect copyright.PENANAd4qdYydGtT
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFZG8Tm7j0d
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvwP1Sts6Hp
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAc2rdrCCLPM
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIpWAqpwOFG
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAU6p2uCQBb6
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3HrZjaAixW
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkHGyhWTx2B
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFpHOq6On5c
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5SdWWmQhiX
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJbO5vgVVwN
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8tUfH1nbCU
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdlxH2hduMn
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4qiMUmocfU
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
310Please respect copyright.PENANABki6g7Jj03
310Please respect copyright.PENANAeSf3iqcSvW
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAm2iszIbW0n
310Please respect copyright.PENANAcnHJQ0zcOF
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAD5C1sKAni4
310Please respect copyright.PENANAG8f7gAScGh
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANACZ4x98ldTy
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5xn7GyYWRG
Kirche: ‘For now.’
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQyXrRXCo0M
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2qdhlbfuxC
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
310Please respect copyright.PENANABXS2cixysc
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbsEgEhE3C1
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
310Please respect copyright.PENANACv8MBt5LwR
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1UOMfBGxjq
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoe922FGF6v
310Please respect copyright.PENANAa0ANhqZCfQ
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1qy9nSAynL
310Please respect copyright.PENANAeB456BlvVK
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsgzu9ZyKtp
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyz39iWcJBi
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANABGMQotpSXI
310Please respect copyright.PENANA65fbfFBaYJ
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA316HsWhZdU
310Please respect copyright.PENANAESJ0XzFrHb
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.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5BFKVjOLL2
310Please respect copyright.PENANAitvdqmASme
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAo5yTlSXugT
310Please respect copyright.PENANALqZODCPaZb
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqoMSDJHJxJ
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9SfpU5mlQ3
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPSdG4Jnm3T
310Please respect copyright.PENANAR7ewC0pT8s
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
310Please respect copyright.PENANARjb20PLmy0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvYErzhFalh
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqwYD6b5oH0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJTVrHdeofK
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
310Please respect copyright.PENANASsGe3bzqnd
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsSq8vMWdUw
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKnZnd9PMjJ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwqNRyitd6C
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsnlpGE3l2A
310Please respect copyright.PENANA0wUudjZSAE
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWnaYDVv2Hc
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqZAvVx0fML
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsoVcMLPlY0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHgeGdTJlBS
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4v2iOp7jra
310Please respect copyright.PENANAg9RSFlxZcT
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmeVYVrw00m
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuC45wAf8kH
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
310Please respect copyright.PENANABXXxxZPIgu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAk4YwUxRfTz
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!
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQo2F39pIYT
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvEuSf6u8Lx
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKBhW93wf2R
310Please respect copyright.PENANAadO3UZJySj
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAx4enwMY488
310Please respect copyright.PENANASZjKFQFDei
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6eObGAqyGq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAT3qdOFsvuc
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwT5UfPjX7c
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPKElKC7tWc
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzJAiEXDZVu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdYaO8AmImZ
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANANp130mYrfc
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2JEyzZ4fSG
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYKb9zDsrMw
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvfINZCgy0X
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYthbdHXSJy
310Please respect copyright.PENANAcGDi9z1KCt
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuw8qYSttPI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwIEp41V6IL
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
310Please respect copyright.PENANAlUF6RN3AKM
310Please respect copyright.PENANADUUzG1kA2Q
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1th8VxMOkU
310Please respect copyright.PENANAX2T0OrTYOb
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAiFcdKlfIsM
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5wUlrrzLpD
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAVCZaS0j6vV
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4H63sE7Wtv
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
310Please respect copyright.PENANABf9Kt7utKQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAaclijgIxlX
Flamma: “Is that all?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1EbsKSS3LK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAInkeekIlIV
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?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAI5EdqbWtPZ
310Please respect copyright.PENANArlMiBso4CH
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAN8TUulpvKH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAp5xi0mBNNe
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAb79fNkdYzQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAP03bqAztvM
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANATl06RLDGIj
310Please respect copyright.PENANA0tZvy61SOc
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAlXzrx2YeVO
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfgXkub2Wjq
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANANu3mEnNsTs
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkWAFNrOymo
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQQRq9Dtam6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYpvVwArMCf
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJeuY94Gg4i
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhYCRUvAlw8
Dove: “After you.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAxAZ2ViOODv
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4urvfTXXRn
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAVCTZzs4sao
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyZKC3t4otD
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoALzIJF2iO
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsII2rUQUJ6
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA98MVcUD9oS
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoIoXwC4sHc
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.’
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXaHBsJzb04
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdVGMbTfl8E
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsq0Rq8Cn3g
310Please respect copyright.PENANACt7N249sb3
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsBYltC34Ck
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbWzBylgw30
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhj2tYCfZ9U
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUuvGsvDoaK
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjofldUSvZK
310Please respect copyright.PENANApGmu8cPq0L
Dove: “Got it.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsFBFHtnmku
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZUhLZU05PX
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…
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbWZUergpLe
310Please respect copyright.PENANANU3Au1aBN0
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqgQX8alrNY
310Please respect copyright.PENANANIIHX2rd9F
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAcMc0daGHKK
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2UCV4hwo99
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPiKqYQuWV6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIwXp2lV4PY
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9EWCdfZe4W
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKDZCWAR6NA
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFyll8dfwKu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKc32ndY53F
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWUScKV22Fh
310Please respect copyright.PENANABAEGzVedN0
Dove: “Agreed.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAnEepYv0bnt
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkYrRG1zZ9S
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9NjnNrnp89
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwC86ztGybb
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQDNRhgAZxa
310Please respect copyright.PENANAISLSEhYJCL
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAw9NcSqsT49
310Please respect copyright.PENANA0dOeozdrMh
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3EsLVSXFeZ
310Please respect copyright.PENANANNox8cSjLT
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
310Please respect copyright.PENANASSqngVORXe
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZOeVAxyyjY
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANABTS6PG8Ih9
310Please respect copyright.PENANAN1gS3137Sw
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA0bEYzPTQs0
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wcx7P6W22
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
310Please respect copyright.PENANATajKD4ay8Z
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKpoYhpUHjp
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmaHeJGaXt6
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAeY3MoIGsGW
But Tech wasn’t done.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAE32nczLvtN
Tech: "Time to change things up."310Please respect copyright.PENANAhQi7iTho1p
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQYC51O1BKS
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9gHGt51tEV
310Please respect copyright.PENANA71xopXPc2p
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWSV35SmxpL
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9WjlAlXW96
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANANuJlieZp0a
310Please respect copyright.PENANAI1OilOhhkc
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHJrwQrvoce
310Please respect copyright.PENANABZBHGrUJVh
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2pePVSQUN8
310Please respect copyright.PENANAV7xbjVYbMc
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4SK3lax6zU
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUthkTlJPkj
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAg1QGzBl3WA
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMfpdVrIk39
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5u5TcP6oL
310Please respect copyright.PENANADZMb6uK8ko
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAnEIB3IYdKU
310Please respect copyright.PENANAo4C7EwnUfc
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPy3b49H25l
310Please respect copyright.PENANAABicJq3tgF
Tech: "Get over here!"
310Please respect copyright.PENANAiQxKEnorZW
310Please respect copyright.PENANAAces4r0m1e
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgXApFExXce
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzbz9rM6JuC
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWv0kN0BeiX
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUaDhPCaDaB
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqAqHtaLVUT
310Please respect copyright.PENANA82FMSiOoVa
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
310Please respect copyright.PENANAiyd7ECcvWK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYvbjhaY6BZ
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGpCJAEzQNk
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZhkLUDE7y7
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAaeN4lZWjef
310Please respect copyright.PENANAT6S8wae9mJ
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
310Please respect copyright.PENANASsvJz6duuT
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3df0N2bOO8
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA59A0ACrHQu
310Please respect copyright.PENANATTN9yyQPDf
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4blIdIVa6I
310Please respect copyright.PENANA13jU8O1DUg
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAAOunT5xG8M
310Please respect copyright.PENANAw1bvRwo3hr
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFmfOG68Ll5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQoU3KXV5Ci
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKtaR9UHeJ1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvHHiBIDGJZ
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAC2i139Lno2
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgUWoGLEKGv
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8QG8EnvzN2

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. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAHwLzUugapZ
