Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9i7qSt3S0G
365Please respect copyright.PENANAIJjygAWRmi
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUbeuNqf0QG
365Please respect copyright.PENANABEKOMgumwG
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZIMc1VUOo2
365Please respect copyright.PENANA8h3ULwXQ5c
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA3cxrPIwvcc
365Please respect copyright.PENANAjcdyD9X2IT
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ffv9pNY2
365Please respect copyright.PENANAelS2drEFDG
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwpNbutMZt9
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZNQI0NQyL8
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.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUucXKIoeYg
365Please respect copyright.PENANAblWP66aqW6
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdzk3u9aYbf
365Please respect copyright.PENANA41ksqmkjYS
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAi7BeRZqvtq
365Please respect copyright.PENANAMQPevfaljY
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAWSvwqf3YaN
365Please respect copyright.PENANA6yR1tMPkIc
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAXs1oaVfzrV
365Please respect copyright.PENANA6pltMSU8ZI
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAx0nDmLzDnh
365Please respect copyright.PENANAXJDR2Mt68R
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAF2tZSMvfN7
365Please respect copyright.PENANAys6p7KUkVg
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACVhAoEWf5G
365Please respect copyright.PENANAXoKkNHfOQI
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA5GLKm51cU1
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ5qGY1wNC
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAVD7pk4NTK5
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZEN8izQPDH
365Please respect copyright.PENANACncvZhtR3R
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAU4LcN6TGaC
365Please respect copyright.PENANAmU665Zmqlp
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANACG61LjUhwf
365Please respect copyright.PENANAewaPCJbPky
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANARCaPQ8h4WU
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwSR7kG28P3
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA1jKIgi4sQE
365Please respect copyright.PENANAuA52zV7UBL
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPU60PFyxSQ
365Please respect copyright.PENANAmYXgsvyg7H
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7qF9dXYYk2
365Please respect copyright.PENANAFU5QkEyIia
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4jqIvm3lVN
365Please respect copyright.PENANADlrseJ96IY
Kirche: ‘For now.’
365Please respect copyright.PENANA1aQdMGuQjE
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwKMRV968Ua
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7wFzmnKAcN
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUoektSRtOY
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA5ldhLN6Imv
365Please respect copyright.PENANApg0TIKIEfa
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAMsW0yw2mB6
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdWbJGd80Av
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAWIW5S9htVw
365Please respect copyright.PENANA8YiksOI8Qs
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANALNLjCmmA1n
365Please respect copyright.PENANAEJgWFh8Ssf
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANARvZY2Tk5Io
365Please respect copyright.PENANALrWOoEbaOE
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAleDswGXhw
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfhW9jJgdch
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.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA8vb7PjONRh
365Please respect copyright.PENANA7EcsM5fnCn
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAy1WSELqCh7
365Please respect copyright.PENANAv8aoR0fOBf
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAWFWgF7DYGo
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdzXvwNezrC
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAyQL06VA8hP
365Please respect copyright.PENANAbCAWl3xk7l
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
365Please respect copyright.PENANAN0LUvYYe7q
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2qQBZS55xL
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHB9ZP2lRks
365Please respect copyright.PENANANi5PWK9yCn
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAStLoACGLhy
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzqWXLUyu3i
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAKbR5RnK2o6
365Please respect copyright.PENANAsLYcb4L9Fe
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdxWHa6J0j4
365Please respect copyright.PENANAd9tjuIhzsn
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQFZJY5gXY3
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGVGy0OffRS
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAk95pjJoQfY
365Please respect copyright.PENANASifxlvsnsn
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZNU2mZRaob
365Please respect copyright.PENANACNKC7VpJcu
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAg3n97IGmdP
365Please respect copyright.PENANAME4O6yWO8f
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
365Please respect copyright.PENANADfZmGF5uAs
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwcKQh6dLL9
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!
365Please respect copyright.PENANAc8OGEwiLs3
365Please respect copyright.PENANAuxjhLbZOax
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
365Please respect copyright.PENANANsR2lJolX3
365Please respect copyright.PENANAemkxde782l
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANANUXCre7eGJ
365Please respect copyright.PENANAuWh20UlVoR
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA28QChO7XUW
365Please respect copyright.PENANADecmWsmjNK
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAeXWqpv0g08
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqUTmn6tQy2
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlr4OvEbUfi
365Please respect copyright.PENANArS87cc4y74
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqhRpnop1OH
365Please respect copyright.PENANANuu8rzz5NR
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHbuDMOFJ4X
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4A4PWFNDWs
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA1I9VonhFwS
365Please respect copyright.PENANADeHl9HKC4C
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAp26sZbe6Z1
365Please respect copyright.PENANABeZsKvhIU7
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfeVrLEW3EF
365Please respect copyright.PENANA0sS55TI1Ff
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANApxHrghjvVh
365Please respect copyright.PENANA6aOwPHjP2i
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfbyWJ2cTFO
365Please respect copyright.PENANAIdlGJ4wZdQ
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANApX1t5zzqu8
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZCgVqiXXP6
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAt2xvYKcnEJ
365Please respect copyright.PENANAx3iFfjHOxQ
Flamma: “Is that all?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQdSyPd8NGN
365Please respect copyright.PENANApCyMIAxNye
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?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA19209rSDmx
365Please respect copyright.PENANAIWrr8xnqFJ
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAR2f7DgJMn6
365Please respect copyright.PENANArwadWZRaZB
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAEEZKzVMfHs
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcQrHC14HJM
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAWfYlNe9eN1
365Please respect copyright.PENANAa1rW70LNX2
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUHScde6DG8
365Please respect copyright.PENANA45G9gNgUKT
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAl1abIZpF5j
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUVPqU4VM82
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwv54CLvFpc
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2R9kovVlKS
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
365Please respect copyright.PENANABjwrVpQfyf
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHNrIlTbRAx
Dove: “After you.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAKZbyClVEDq
365Please respect copyright.PENANAEUWAk9IBb5
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANABIHto0HpuW
365Please respect copyright.PENANAn1bnNEqGsR
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAx6MEzJXTj2
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHZuXqJo8XD
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2XzScsV6EC
365Please respect copyright.PENANAZfSDujJCht
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.’
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPyM2gx2P1F
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOJYrsIbk0h
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACnmv8UJOVo
365Please respect copyright.PENANA8hfUp9TW2V
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2AIvK5PEX4
365Please respect copyright.PENANAckLHug3f4E
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAO12zzukPE8
365Please respect copyright.PENANAyogdtfbYJ5
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAF4ZNdFulKM
365Please respect copyright.PENANAjvflJXrQyj
Dove: “Got it.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAuDXouOMhjy
365Please respect copyright.PENANAj3IG3UUZoM
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…
365Please respect copyright.PENANAnrYAmIyjj2
365Please respect copyright.PENANAW1NnuFKQlT
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAkGIOZW2iPG
365Please respect copyright.PENANArpo3w5uE5r
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUMFXpWFkIZ
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPOZI1wPf9S
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdn0U9O2iKs
365Please respect copyright.PENANAE4qDazr7w2
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
365Please respect copyright.PENANAGMY8wVXq1I
365Please respect copyright.PENANAYdnFXLYOAI
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtElHA3BVZp
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlVHPjqjhK6
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAHLqH4S7Zn
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqbGXogcIFv
Dove: “Agreed.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAw5onziORks
365Please respect copyright.PENANAbwP4Vp3DTF
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANASwcBbjySWu
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqeQz9VzYgP
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAiWKxUlhXKS
365Please respect copyright.PENANAof0VXGe6aP
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAuuPsfvZbFN
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4K59t1zBzd
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAoIVk6ickey
365Please respect copyright.PENANAWlfPVncEZT
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4CX2XGcsF
365Please respect copyright.PENANAhGGLLWxwLX
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAR3LtxN532j
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqr8CmhwNi2
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANADAzu7AxlTR
365Please respect copyright.PENANAKq8sag8noY
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAaqAvjzCvO0
365Please respect copyright.PENANAx6G6NvMFPq
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANANtsSz6hz7I
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtf52qeAF3y
But Tech wasn’t done.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPkXihxpMT4
Tech: "Time to change things up."365Please respect copyright.PENANANQscVUvWWN
365Please respect copyright.PENANA0476dtQm0I
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAENWQE1G6i8
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlMNaD0GSYB
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAxqqHRseIe
365Please respect copyright.PENANAyfyeWw4KNu
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAw8E6LQcaMd
365Please respect copyright.PENANAydUei7OoFj
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcm9GSbe510
365Please respect copyright.PENANAjYGoFCtE7M
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAswcdrMKymY
365Please respect copyright.PENANAYN5NDniNlh
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAnpEZpBM2xn
365Please respect copyright.PENANAYioIpbffnO
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAfdth992b57
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUzSN660FLy
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUgVOwVCCsB
365Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ0Rz9yEnS
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAEaWcKCEGDj
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzGRAcdDYXY
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
365Please respect copyright.PENANARfYyn7Ybby
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHt8FxSVeY1
Tech: "Get over here!"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAhUuQ53IfWX
365Please respect copyright.PENANAPtefIZywq0
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAHwDOZHXPSE
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdkb6Krg97m
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAVnhHyCtRmC
365Please respect copyright.PENANAUP7WMvQ12E
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
365Please respect copyright.PENANASlbAL4H2ME
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlBBqv5Dmd3
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
365Please respect copyright.PENANAwn8nIIW7Bn
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9aVrcsfLTS
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAFoPxB7kkZV
365Please respect copyright.PENANAlwf6dXxU5x
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAiarpacUcWS
365Please respect copyright.PENANAbDFv5U44cX
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAApNCIE8U9g
365Please respect copyright.PENANAauLLpfFVNW
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdFixobnfjA
365Please respect copyright.PENANAYoyNKqej36
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
365Please respect copyright.PENANABjooOq6YBm
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAKo2wAE0dw
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4fk0kiJfmx
365Please respect copyright.PENANAKgf5LKxRUv
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAiziqnotjvX
365Please respect copyright.PENANAXX9LekcRuu
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAt5LXzAU7DU
365Please respect copyright.PENANAVD3BZkQ4sk
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA9qUUJqkJE8
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2yUvMOvRnH
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
365Please respect copyright.PENANACCQbX3bzVB

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. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAIPzYbo9Ghx
