Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVsQ3hejaA
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVdTqJWHrP
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcmLbFJcs4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhMpC0fIgo
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL21AUcL9E
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGfzLcUxaC
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupVO2zXeu4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLWodkYMHk
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3qlLoZeQJ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf5zxXlK3D
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5acInzsI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVesfDdgDWc
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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtSDeMNT06
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3NMUcvkqq
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7OQwFYnSm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDbeKbJjal
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbhCFdwzy7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVNX2ne6dE
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk65Rbhy8GE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy8EtyZX6O
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Pu21mKiU
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUIpugfK3y
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSEUq2iDo1
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQQZq1xGsN
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtIxtSPN1h
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEOYOCmjdQ
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ISXSfMvc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfdOQEd3yX
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS91YPqvoI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58C1GDbuhV
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiqv4XHRAE
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHXQ50HDXQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9V1lxIAx5
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLPzfCj8ef
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdYsx6uO1
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp65G0F697
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ888TjHEcyd
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7MrOMKRiH

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtcSf6aZvI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeklUap12a2
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfWmi1bUBs
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAepmtyWFq
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4msMKWd2S

Kirche: ‘For now.’
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEkEzdMtp5

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ieoo6kwCP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDYITnvvIk
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXZMI9iGpu
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplPPirlg39
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWSCAhqkvQ
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlPolDqM8H
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQzy6I8PS
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR2LXqgHlO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LC6S7GJrz
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiJ3cbC0y5
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSTUMwCjy
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiTy16Ax4t
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLY1jn8sxs
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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJpgTQQAYc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKi3G49ePi

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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL5F8fQ37m
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc7S8Yu0cE
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qVK4vTmJ5
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY0Jn2qhTx
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33a198l0Fw
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3taRT4nvw
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACAM6LVTJX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tLvbToxPE
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHKjWMnBjs
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAePGuE5y4b
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZq0kqhoG
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmpXyPrnK0
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgidnje2PD7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJMMIOhj6f
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HxJQtVLP9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYINWbQd3T6
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVfPLiVF5Z
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P9GNmbvxS
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pW2FHvW69
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujBxJ556hl
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P3p7ZTbo9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypXdV94y3X
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBs28S0AY4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTagr8Xr3Mq
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!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF6qEyxLBF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EsvBLPaqU
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCxk7onSbe
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUvM1n1oN
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQbVDqBPSf
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zTFzHK1oq
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATdcO2Z8tJ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBsjEtdAf2
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6v8vrx1f6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXGmKthghO
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAafddzvYOL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjVWCqNPKY
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8BR8HoLbS
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBgh9fKbp
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2hG5XuAr6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZw8lXvsM
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxVR8BUiSZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cXmqcgz0m
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmll7dM5oB
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnine6CIOL6
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf3sqrHwqT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjFU7KMBen
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvN7Yy0AYI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIkDwV7Zb6
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSk5HQjxay
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceNtzjK5Y5
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakSi9XRU16
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrII3cl1jcY
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtIFbcTY64
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N21WupmGX
Flamma: “Is that all?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw99e3vJ5zF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVGCsXF7Y4
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?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdqsu99Mi
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKuygBl2zc
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofGJWriTxZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKo2hdjN9X
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPxM4V0lS9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z25W2bWER
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y9GWazvkB
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwvTijLCjT
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCeqnRqZWu
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0j7KiWMzh
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW8THQ6Rjh

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKZX6ssoxR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGr53eGgKf
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopFKImudK0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiWp8eIq9o
Dove: “After you.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoKblCJQbD

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv2zM8h3XY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhoMS8gH0S
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC2Xv6vcKQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCtYTEq2DZ
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLyXinjsfR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KLozHBDzL
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.’
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8KFr5HXdN
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzORN5rHz3i
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6YVcu4YaK
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx7OkWJYQt
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry0bXHsGOk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCrtGlyNV
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHFs27pCJN
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIbXhAlZKq
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDKEwVXsO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGayrFbaON
Dove: “Got it.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKg58WDbbE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6WEHHuTTY
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…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsEH6ueZiL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGabxCrh4Cv
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzIbiVin1M
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT2v2DcHVX
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pvcvZIn3q
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ81i8W0cKi
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gPz2E9zow
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCwpsX2dpj
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TDz8S1ib
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGx5TvR6fl
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn4sjWrVgq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDKrDAl7po
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi46OM1gSm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYxfABl1Am
Dove: “Agreed.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrE8DjNAQf
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xFQ9hUZTz
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYwlOpq3Vg
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mGqtcBAZr
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A5lOVRWe4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVASYq2w0c
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfehjdF938
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN61g75Lyvu
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0YXgTa6f6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCQ4sJKb1N
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8CUnKqKd4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOXpbaFZOy
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7fxNWsSVz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmxABaev2f
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXG7meQx72
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW0CprHDGW
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWX1VlGKJO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcdbW84N8M
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTOMUok4G
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdNua9yjl8
But Tech wasn’t done.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgHv8jtIrJ
Tech: "Time to change things up."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcH6JP3rTH
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGu0EImGZW
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTvZ0AHkBS
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSLmzwxFTZ
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsv3AywvHK
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zd9sUDre
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWKZQcDQYg
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIOU8KlcWS
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofooG1ONHP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjHN9JAUTK
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ1FETOHzy

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OIt9sthzX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5G2dGfJqe
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zRu5EKA55
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1xSiaUg7I
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHabLV8P1p
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3eCyU4h1J
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdxl9xZNZX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum4bEUfZ3d
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNSb2rii4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQPjBIBxn
Tech: "Get over here!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ02TRr58U3
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ69TdNLj7g
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmpr7GTqiF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmUNcVZlb7
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUNM5VzGnF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW6BxTUt29
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fMwyZdVB4

Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”

Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.

Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2yFzUL83E

Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”

Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”

With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

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. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU5pa3cFGP
