Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXeaJKtSm
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl38pN1HbI
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oeDWPJ4g8
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAkZZVEzNk
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMul7XBbHv
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxCq0k37fv
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo0t9qtcwY
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqum1HVx2HD
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQwiOt9Tg
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQtKNtP4kr
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ciMYit3JI
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4N3gfXkcQ
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.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX96y9CP1p
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNhxtDbbTo
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER3yYdnRKR
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXepfbCyUW
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n15c0vZql
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SqKkWO9ly
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pOrjRLx9r
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WWNolshDf
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWp8V5c0mi
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1urG5uhCpJ
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKgauWTDGF
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ1hsQKPnM
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l50FfhA3X
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JLa8PFd7U
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bxyi1r9li
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLnh8CP1sA
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBgaDUGf6a
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9GdGMHusb
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEgHf6RixN
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8tB6kZEby
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU68ib8OlM
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCxhMkzYKR
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhQcTYkpSc
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFgOXpg5sZ
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeMglBLIId
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”

Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8KpLrclK
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgAjXLhW8o
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SymjSdul

At the same time and same place as yesterday.

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ635wYFH8p5
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8DFO46vjE
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cWiadYgg5
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviCmoHyR0Z
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7Obmgrpx
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYv5z4z2az
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Zj92f6iC
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qDdIjRPZz
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuLud7VCYo
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJv8XnfJFz
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvsS8HY6iI
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.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWygoY4cr05
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wKs313UCB

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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKk2EOtKUa
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JFWopjyre
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxvBpoi0A
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK79QbOabAP
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdysVs1tf9o
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU3YgWM7QE
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkcRji81c7
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa86xC32kU
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXWnFoALR8
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO9qNMRWL4
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd3lrrwv2b
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3j0Qr8ZoB
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU7a2JkJ0u
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jrCKNjPsR
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7yJdROLWK

“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe93AhZpq0t
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrewt6KaRA
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLvIa1ugqb
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbeBEI6okt
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDEmrheUe8
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX661md4y7v
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBsme2hCxO
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z8rdq3InW
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!
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WZ0Krs6E
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyLNZ8QfwX
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI04vLGskm
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCJUPcjxZk
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mQPWfsBPA
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtL78PGJKk
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTTdoL8wvM
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodtwEjgZ1m
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxhyyiT4TA
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9d509NYPC
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjxQiz437e
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxDuXmQbPM
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoaw84Cw5V

Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwesr93iEn
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5pHOvyJyc
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZT4fQr025
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKlV2FtfUh
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt51ZSMzBM
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKerPCrYqO
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSTme3Ttu
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArgSWZETiA
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TtxGQ2N5r
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmbZqgeswe
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH2evsW9Cr
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktuEA6ecAc
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAFpqcI7h8
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCVjaFG0Cb
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzbEuFieXO
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qa3JsBZPr
Flamma: “Is that all?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTNHC583m4
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDdMeh2oCE
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?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ3H2pPD5b
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O5Ld37RPP
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxAOxsV7X2
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBSIpUqjWW
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE0FcRVdpm
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyxkc2MF9g
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWm4PHaMg9
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwWbaptzAV
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IFfmklAwp
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcv3DVOP7z
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EtZ32uzz
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUlmh9XD3A
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyN7s1S1F
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSplbLVC1je
Dove: “After you.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWYPnG6eUq

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSczGEovXW
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaLdlj4aYS
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyeaHD3sec
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P5uXHnJXh
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb3ts2CuIG
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdPlFyWN4C
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.’
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOaCDi38Pn
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRBH3mi8Sf
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMcHEXnuZH
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KSCoHqTRr
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlfY96RJXC
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO5EfA1s6C
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicI1r41l4E
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYku9qkWLM
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCU7DADIft
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekwphTS2x0
Dove: “Got it.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qVmlHpF6A
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdIuRZRAQc
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…
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5enXKmQY7
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ1CFOT7J1
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpZhDGUZKS
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZTLYGMbk
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpwWrVqLfW
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdilWA57qzW
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65KQVrBTHc
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjncHiLoxK
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgSfQj4mJc
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCkjOXUbH4
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZVxFDra8S
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUdXXsimSN
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSFLDdcnio

Dove: “Agreed.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBemENL8wtL

Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85V5SrFIAW
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oso96Rv0I
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwdSrXrcG3

Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHxLsQt5ph

Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYb6nAJbuj
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOpwguPtU
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnoWkjukra
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4IoGP3S0f
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6vwbVVkPC
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yii0JxaKV
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f4QsyDFR0
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKrjQCEbhA
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1RvwzlCnD
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm2CoBE4z3
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFiq9Tevre
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx2Qgiv8HQ
But Tech wasn’t done.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazgLqJme0a
Tech: "Time to change things up."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOaliltBq2
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7tkHrDxbA
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Hno5HEmV
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfFcqu0cyK
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLixMlQjCW
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jt0O9NmrD
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZtKecvNl
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsCQAzbZFR
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYfVLyYFI
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hyFM9ZRmy
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzlNp8Xtmk

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGexa3vHY7
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlsMGE4AYb
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2D5LX6f90
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9as67LjEw
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvZ0YeroYM
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXqtAnkSUu
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3yv4lWmts
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsalC8x7l4F
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqHW4VAeg
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCZhF1LiF8
Tech: "Get over here!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH5WIstPnc
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Wzs9c3M8
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPlc1EP3ph
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAiezA24Cc
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqWfh5Eat2
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYcp7PXqez
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?"

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.”

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. 397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GTTL1DgNg
