Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0FpsDMUgZ9
344Please respect copyright.PENANAz969GrPUYX
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAU6I4AdsQxb
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8MkaSOhtlf
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKkmzNWfNTV
344Please respect copyright.PENANASLV4vO8TN7
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjuUJqAJjp3
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxjuYFvmL9t
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAo6xqXfizxy
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgQneOBFEBm
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAiN4WackhUo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGGXyybgp9v
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.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJVMvh36lNv
344Please respect copyright.PENANAC8bNltXasv
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKStqYblsYD
344Please respect copyright.PENANAj2QYbCBa8Y
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxF4MfUcMQh
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bmz0yLTSO
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9eNrXx6t4f
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ami3lDt5q
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1zm935YsTe
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPrBssXfxTT
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAj07tZ7JaMP
344Please respect copyright.PENANAC0C3rEMbM4
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwGV9sWwvgR
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMd70ROk3HR
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
344Please respect copyright.PENANASB3l7yCapY
344Please respect copyright.PENANADzZIQZ3mcQ
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANADEGxyZfHGv
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6BxuAnwp45
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0SEQmwLVH0
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzWOi0tpMQm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqXzUegAz0n
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmy3sWSuPVv
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1rIw0M7x7d
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAddfr5tdMbQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANATKwilQ5bay
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvD8DAlZd8T
344Please respect copyright.PENANALDLSiJhSRk
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjHAOfFkXQm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXwSWbBXdZQ
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgUDD4nMft1
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3ropUxBUbv
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7JmfiUbZgo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqfoGzNrBs1
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqPHqSPgg01
344Please respect copyright.PENANApe9FhDBymA
Kirche: ‘For now.’
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwT7VXBeGq5
344Please respect copyright.PENANASTW1CXJd1h
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvWARl8mWuo
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5xHIAgQA35
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvdGuxKR5wT
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMemiHPzM41
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAe021cc28Hp
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfPAaE1MoWo
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5yAbYWbZJ9
344Please respect copyright.PENANAiv9LCt65hi
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdTs0LwfK0C
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ8V5YAjbQ
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANASjd1Weo14W
344Please respect copyright.PENANA5azwhUrJAl
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAf7kbkfhjrQ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJvngfJqA6l
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.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAy6vFfhYcIi
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwfwmBGm11q
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyU7VQJaDDz
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAfWKHe6EHt
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWF1I3VL1rt
344Please respect copyright.PENANAs9FQEFnOju
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA1NjKRyFysv
344Please respect copyright.PENANArpaNr2oknS
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
344Please respect copyright.PENANAaHi8oEFcwG
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7FiKrG8FYa
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANArnnTzMxasw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAehtorZ34SB
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
344Please respect copyright.PENANADL6TuPetkU
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkblfE5YRW6
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANALpQuP5LVPU
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPfpgreCRbU
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
344Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Cm6Hjgy8
344Please respect copyright.PENANAz14bdLw53A
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
344Please respect copyright.PENANAae0VnWdwEb
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqY66KeXSap
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANATk5xM02UhX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgeRaPIVZU0
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvDWKl8bk6J
344Please respect copyright.PENANAen956zHivA
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXpDegN8Q7C
344Please respect copyright.PENANALzS1AGHg7t
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAa1pMvlHtX6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAEkxuQHYI3P
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!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAElqC2DrsP7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAchVUQbVpw4
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2GEeMkegrj
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVyju8k6l2x
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6A8hqAtUV2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAikE8lUNwnh
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAf3nNFA6duD
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXqU8nw34Zj
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANANwWJjZFcHT
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOVYrJ6VeLV
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9SGVUfbXG
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2mhPIg8VDv
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGGvFfBMZd6
344Please respect copyright.PENANAK67Sax0JKA
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgEHuwGaiOB
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKrasuHRb9y
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7PzpoABasH
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYgZ3UMG7E8
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAR05NABAGSm
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPoqaD9R9S2
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9aGFVjx7vj
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsUUBtpzBnn
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANANNc763JnY8
344Please respect copyright.PENANAEGk7WIaM3J
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANATR83PMzstC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwG6UuxOAtU
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAe7rk2306tY
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmXHfa88NC0
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKkdyxROpv4
344Please respect copyright.PENANACzvE3nVvOz
Flamma: “Is that all?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPJIaY9eMup
344Please respect copyright.PENANATY0fiXsdon
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?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbpnxEsjPtw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAT3660Nv9J5
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgUqcfa4KkZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANA373xPw6oTj
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyCeL5oXAS3
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKgB6jW6Phq
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOtzzxQYSIO
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHQMXY6RoyT
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAnWNJQYAg9x
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0s9HYYCdMY
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdFvsiyIHFv
344Please respect copyright.PENANAowS8m4YiVn
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyC21CGfMTX
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7hMinUa0NJ
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2UuDdNKBiX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAf2asAuHkgq
Dove: “After you.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANARXXgKuIK0A
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsmMqj104kr
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7tXCmDAkTl
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJKFaBK0uaN
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZlhOUYkC1R
344Please respect copyright.PENANAiU0R4QFtX0
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6mxFmcE8C2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsDZsfX8Eb1
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.’
344Please respect copyright.PENANACXhnDIHfRd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAwCfZFxiKV7
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2zDWS87POg
344Please respect copyright.PENANANlNLzvHBfV
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8UKaWeMuUh
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcAgjQogZlJ
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANALOZeJJGrF2
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQGOY7KAXc2
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAEvGd5GBhEz
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcjPx7SaG23
Dove: “Got it.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjqKeTrxjK7
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2j6SkGSqYM
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…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYe3MyNkr4K
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvzkheaCzCW
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMWSOo4hrIa
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIMTt1ZKTZC
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9W7Em7CHED
344Please respect copyright.PENANABhvA8HNzz6
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAEXtMCnNrUu
344Please respect copyright.PENANAS6QA0oQcIV
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
344Please respect copyright.PENANAV1GbjKdDFd
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ51GCwmXh
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANACJe5WADQO7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtaUJibH9ww
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA0jr9AWCr9H
344Please respect copyright.PENANAv4TDFPtxvy
Dove: “Agreed.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2d66OXGVVZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAAMaqUYTui
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUyWQ20ipLy
344Please respect copyright.PENANAFDeuyvnUUi
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAscuQpemOcs
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOrQ6fznCOR
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZsP9w7Mji7
344Please respect copyright.PENANAeejFr7G3Xa
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7bB1xiwmh9
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3NWAzsX6Yp
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
344Please respect copyright.PENANApxhWtEjvtX
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXvhD3e3z93
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAaEuAgR9J82
344Please respect copyright.PENANAz89IMss3LP
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZOxqx87Ex
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyHWeEZ6jJM
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAFwUytcWleY
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxQM6LDrXSN
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAk771JkpF3I
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGvJSdUn2Zc
But Tech wasn’t done.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3cvU7l3k8E
Tech: "Time to change things up."344Please respect copyright.PENANAglO1hZv7ra
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUUxS3zhr3z
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANACzpoeLSPPL
344Please respect copyright.PENANAykSc7KIWNk
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtLjNxp1Y4u
344Please respect copyright.PENANANIizCJVZYn
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANArvgrASn03X
344Please respect copyright.PENANAFpL8F5nz56
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGcOcEw4GTC
344Please respect copyright.PENANAiymB4qSArH
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAApsTzkjVuz
344Please respect copyright.PENANAN29PRpeWHX
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWa6FwaelJw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAweeyVI8IDX
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7qpPyWmb6o
344Please respect copyright.PENANAdYQTy58sfE
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPnekEWmb3K
344Please respect copyright.PENANA22wH5u9clc
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAyEacLCNfhw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKv4MD2RI2t
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
344Please respect copyright.PENANAK07g9mDFyZ
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3aMy3N8ARS
Tech: "Get over here!"
344Please respect copyright.PENANApHIJC9SimS
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWlVgybtnen
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAaKkKqpD8Wg
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfJAdtzFODO
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXUlkyZG8tM
344Please respect copyright.PENANAlOxv1medXE
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAcDxydYbfDm
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9W9n6Vxzeq
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4bAhj0ABZl
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgVmUryh4Ka
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGC0SLTOot0
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVyqfaP2n0e
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVDisBXzFL1
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjsLI1J8VMh
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAuJTqYGDvcT
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHfpZPLxgiL
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQOJzym0FVw
344Please respect copyright.PENANAe8j5ivOQML
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZ25EqKOpDo
344Please respect copyright.PENANAk5Kxncvq7n
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAEUlDM9zXQR
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3yDXcTKUqM
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkNjnhzFLke
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8uGmoWKs01
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAso3yptk2L
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGkrsutOa0J
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
344Please respect copyright.PENANATsRnwmYoLa
344Please respect copyright.PENANAoy64Ud9xVh
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjg7ceVryC3

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.”

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.

Dove: “Right, commoners have a right to happiness too. Now come on, I’m sure Tech would appreciate a hug too.”

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. 344Please respect copyright.PENANAIB3a7ZBJHS
