Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANASGZaBKFizf
117Please respect copyright.PENANAIlAlE1bsk9
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAfLmhiZQqTI
117Please respect copyright.PENANArcDkq8Z4ia
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAW6QzRlpgq9
117Please respect copyright.PENANAf7o2Zla44t
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAnlfF5CHG0L
117Please respect copyright.PENANA9JJ5vaEiBX
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA4oHlCl8kew
117Please respect copyright.PENANA5IZkTicofR
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAIAPg18E0xU
117Please respect copyright.PENANAznpfJB72q8
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.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAabI0zC2qZS
117Please respect copyright.PENANAWe3B0sX9Fv
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMVciyRflbq
117Please respect copyright.PENANAst0csBRQ9B
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA8LAzrxxGJ4
117Please respect copyright.PENANA2x9biHY98i
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANADimtEtXvu3
117Please respect copyright.PENANA6I1d0U8KFt
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1VpynkZhmk
117Please respect copyright.PENANAYVsm4vklnY
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAyebaFMAf3f
117Please respect copyright.PENANA4mv5CGOQSF
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAsKP4dJnvsa
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmX0PMcIy6u
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAqhRonGzv1w
117Please respect copyright.PENANA556OvLnSWr
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAzIr3gIATXW
117Please respect copyright.PENANA4nXga7vM97
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAgyPQRClRWT
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAUvulGgCQTd
117Please respect copyright.PENANA0cV5s9Fqat
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA7UJUJFY9wb
117Please respect copyright.PENANAKX51IQGvSF
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAyUKpEO9qRs
117Please respect copyright.PENANAii0E6ydtwF
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA6vbbbPlq8U
117Please respect copyright.PENANAIK30XQx1MI
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAtoPrRjxJF6
117Please respect copyright.PENANA24Cd4gsR3I
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANArrAhsoGNGp
117Please respect copyright.PENANAElTkforOGe
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAcqEyNwula5
117Please respect copyright.PENANAuY0fH8IOiC
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Xnoj6Y7p
117Please respect copyright.PENANALyYETAdyY8
Kirche: ‘For now.’
117Please respect copyright.PENANAbmzFDcV46m
117Please respect copyright.PENANAsUwdi4kqFK
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAxWprdNB7Fj
117Please respect copyright.PENANAXWlMT7zdIE
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAjc3X6Zz8xe
117Please respect copyright.PENANA5fCbejtdNm
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAOTMqQInRkh
117Please respect copyright.PENANAgEwPyaRyNj
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA5Odnmt5bNJ
117Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6IgbzEXUt
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANATNS30DH6Lz
117Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ODzLtRCS
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmP7gPMic7H
117Please respect copyright.PENANA22LYfafmLH
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1shOpXTpQx
117Please respect copyright.PENANAPIFG8uFaEh
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.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA5mpKxMkTtd
117Please respect copyright.PENANAN6nxDDlPRS
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAIvjd8bN6vM
117Please respect copyright.PENANAD5PSiCAFzw
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANACbnodwpDqU
117Please respect copyright.PENANAcGVyrVfWNN
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAqbYGlSK6BR
117Please respect copyright.PENANA9fIJBtP77T
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
117Please respect copyright.PENANAJBNwh40u1n
117Please respect copyright.PENANA0RgBjmziLz
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA2n3gLkfMPm
117Please respect copyright.PENANAhfTWtS2zl1
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA4gIpZC5NDe
117Please respect copyright.PENANAJhoKiluwOq
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAk95jWxEo6z
117Please respect copyright.PENANAhAP6L3fJk4
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmBiFI4TNBv
117Please respect copyright.PENANAFUp2pcISyh
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmwmRojHoCu
117Please respect copyright.PENANAhf1wMPHowL
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAkSAcMYlgtn
117Please respect copyright.PENANAZH2hfqGQBp
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
117Please respect copyright.PENANATWyK2C8Emz
117Please respect copyright.PENANA3wD6mDANO3
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAnfYEpITAON
117Please respect copyright.PENANATlyPQzH5oe
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAGiRmeLiS3J
117Please respect copyright.PENANAlCGIWpqeMM
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!
117Please respect copyright.PENANAqKr3Xd8ALP
117Please respect copyright.PENANAbRUNVjFzYu
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAHa7k0kAeb9
117Please respect copyright.PENANAkeJU4UPcmq
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAq3npCeUzbW
117Please respect copyright.PENANAkhYDqvbmeg
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANANZgOMx0eZF
117Please respect copyright.PENANAeSoCMHwe2b
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAE8YghllJIm
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmsx8OmppTB
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANABjP8SJ6Su5
117Please respect copyright.PENANAPtpVJdGUAo
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANArrljCryTtq
117Please respect copyright.PENANAh9k9bGfUAr
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANATSFnHM6yIG
117Please respect copyright.PENANAqxw00IoYA2
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAJL5QW093Sy
117Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ35omC5C4
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA7JRijkrlYI
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmahAVrIfsE
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
117Please respect copyright.PENANAJC6EiYfhIY
117Please respect copyright.PENANAAbD30vOAuo
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAyND7L2w6LP
117Please respect copyright.PENANA7vG2FiJbLE
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmPwWyAiR2O
117Please respect copyright.PENANAtEiQ6DIOBd
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAdAWVfB6AgX
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1ncPJxU5Hs
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1zffGzGEgI
117Please respect copyright.PENANAiK6lKvqO0I
Flamma: “Is that all?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA6dDzfVHcvL
117Please respect copyright.PENANA3AdHzg2WXK
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?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA4W2OqBjEZq
117Please respect copyright.PENANALzbmSAodgo
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAkvBgyDnw4q
117Please respect copyright.PENANAyGAka1EYxM
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA50xfT22e7j
117Please respect copyright.PENANAOEPU7xVeFv
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANARQF9jCqSp1
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmtsCWkNUYO
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANATZTdjX4Pl6
117Please respect copyright.PENANAW2wktZJpvR
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAwxC3fXK8RY
117Please respect copyright.PENANAO8sLqhRXSi
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAHPlmgRf0h4
117Please respect copyright.PENANAHUpYyqygp5
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA4uufon5f4e
117Please respect copyright.PENANArxe5fZvnMm
Dove: “After you.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1VheIJSI8Z
117Please respect copyright.PENANAO9HmJ7nyUX
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANABpKDXHPc6Z
117Please respect copyright.PENANAv5ERcgdlH3
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANANAKhamNbg1
117Please respect copyright.PENANAcSIOCRVySA
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAzKtMHrrIzS
117Please respect copyright.PENANAQVx6xCezgB
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.’
117Please respect copyright.PENANAB1fmcooJ0a
117Please respect copyright.PENANAyRp5s6Qruk
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAKtzkRp74yL
117Please respect copyright.PENANADUAlCrrHV6
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAjy5k4qWUJP
117Please respect copyright.PENANAVRctfyseZf
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANANQYK5rDgs7
117Please respect copyright.PENANAUsoMojLjIc
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAiYBmxvc3Ft
117Please respect copyright.PENANAcmH9VJRxCU
Dove: “Got it.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAzoChmEkmfj
117Please respect copyright.PENANALXmfFzPYTc
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…
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMjSpOvUlfF
117Please respect copyright.PENANAt3bWywTX2w
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAGKpVnLAk1Z
117Please respect copyright.PENANAf3iFjYg8hE
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAUzLMLWwKXJ
117Please respect copyright.PENANAWRjsmiyCpo
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAzcQAcVztcg
117Please respect copyright.PENANAAOQs8G6kic
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
117Please respect copyright.PENANAP8sHhEq4Wl
117Please respect copyright.PENANAocVfZnxwtC
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAHsraBqXpXk
117Please respect copyright.PENANA8ItUpUykRs
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAObC6RnVCxv
117Please respect copyright.PENANAzDHVzv9wDi
Dove: “Agreed.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAVP4uOpg5oJ
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMmR5CFwDnz
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAfi2ZftzGOx
117Please respect copyright.PENANAVMw5IqdTAI
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAyKLADugR21
117Please respect copyright.PENANAKXGgDpE515
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANACpcOJ3CSme
117Please respect copyright.PENANAZNoclgJBAc
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
117Please respect copyright.PENANA8duE2puhA2
117Please respect copyright.PENANA3TsBCiRCCD
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAiZQjNto32I
117Please respect copyright.PENANAwRDLLNQC5c
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA2BNBR4Vscc
117Please respect copyright.PENANAg9gliF51xl
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANApWxwKi1lEP
117Please respect copyright.PENANANltcKGyTCo
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAzr8cSUon5q
117Please respect copyright.PENANAxaFGvqiJgZ
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAxOvCymLy81
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmlfZwNCXUZ
But Tech wasn’t done.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAYHfXpWljBP
Tech: "Time to change things up."117Please respect copyright.PENANAvN9P4H5Gwe
117Please respect copyright.PENANAuOIdnSvoXl
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAR3mfvZ59Pz
117Please respect copyright.PENANAciTsGer3Wo
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANArJqnEVfwtP
117Please respect copyright.PENANAnSkUwFZOTD
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmwGT6fUVnA
117Please respect copyright.PENANAs6B7nuC4zH
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
117Please respect copyright.PENANAqv6lo96rWn
117Please respect copyright.PENANAPJCMyOdSlx
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAVaiESQMdqv
117Please respect copyright.PENANA3fmGUnhXuq
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
117Please respect copyright.PENANAy9oBmt1LMq
117Please respect copyright.PENANA2dclRXaCWR
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAUS99bu5kuM
117Please respect copyright.PENANAxXnclPxxGo
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAB2I4l4iSCd
117Please respect copyright.PENANA9fq22ekkCA
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAA8N7k7FW6p
117Please respect copyright.PENANAnwBAh9KwZ7
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1pvIVVYcyY
117Please respect copyright.PENANAPzqroYIoVK
Tech: "Get over here!"
117Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1DNWkB9IQ
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMfm6YAtQI4
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAsuEBarBrii
117Please respect copyright.PENANAK88Ag0WevE
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.
117Please respect copyright.PENANANEP4dJjtbw
117Please respect copyright.PENANAxU1WoSCpJc
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAdJfqhaberC
117Please respect copyright.PENANA3UqJ1Qczwg
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
117Please respect copyright.PENANAGLGik2GHqo
117Please respect copyright.PENANARgPp0UmIMB
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAFZtPHTXjXG
117Please respect copyright.PENANAu1NFqkwnsU
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAW8AzQthAJR
117Please respect copyright.PENANAHBqWEE7yKj
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAuSFDHecjqT
117Please respect copyright.PENANANmXl4zWQvB
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAiBp9VMRhg8
117Please respect copyright.PENANAoohoQjoZNU
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMtqzaL77zA
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1ODEOFmPi6
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANA3QHRdr0R9m
117Please respect copyright.PENANAQEe3qlSYEa
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAKaXAptVjqo
117Please respect copyright.PENANA64tOJJ0lgy
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAbsVzClnKwS
117Please respect copyright.PENANAq14RPzuTNk
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
117Please respect copyright.PENANAYYtcimpM9H
117Please respect copyright.PENANAr0ZfPJfWJQ
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
117Please respect copyright.PENANAmNZJ55ZJ8V
117Please respect copyright.PENANARzLiOqZp6w
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.”

Flamma: “Don’t fuck with the maids?”

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.

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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAlAZzt68J5s
