Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ4hsFgn1e
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfOt2MzRWtm
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXoz8QBgakY
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0c1snpsjwY
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAGamnRXWe0A
118Please respect copyright.PENANANND2DMyFcv
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANANJzyPtQ5Lh
118Please respect copyright.PENANADfIOw7bcUh
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAxxAZgx6wd7
118Please respect copyright.PENANA3vgA1ENCYW
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAb5UKtRhsyI
118Please respect copyright.PENANA26rz4JZVwJ
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.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAmzlzQTA9kX
118Please respect copyright.PENANAOVtST02v4i
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgpYtygu7OT
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5F3iO4tcq8
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAyP3Ul6TZHR
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMLwtt1dZPA
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANApQHHypBPOY
118Please respect copyright.PENANAEpchsI9ds8
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAI1nndNWVWh
118Please respect copyright.PENANADRdH0Eim5i
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4reVDts85W
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbVqEjZvKYm
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAiJE6GbQvJU
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFKq0fzkp86
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA3RQuSkE7VO
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIXhft6tCu0
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMIupKDhBnk
118Please respect copyright.PENANAzWTpA8fwoR
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANANJwrWfw7SZ
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgQl8qzYjSV
118Please respect copyright.PENANASDJDP2hEpI
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA92xriqxDpf
118Please respect copyright.PENANARTXb9TY5Ep
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAB6BE4kr3D6
118Please respect copyright.PENANAxRUG4MTfxp
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANABWTiUj05nD
118Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4SghrqQ3L
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgq1QDbL6F8
118Please respect copyright.PENANArCKfVUmVih
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvRphmGfCig
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cy5eje71B
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAE1al3GXvEf
118Please respect copyright.PENANAp9bFovjuoP
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAeu9g97JuQH
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgo2loPBNiQ
Kirche: ‘For now.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAXnB4HapsJ6
118Please respect copyright.PENANAejvqa2AOM0
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAkXqmh38o4j
118Please respect copyright.PENANACafvk0EzEP
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAWudCuVE3Hp
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIIm1tvm2jx
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAwZs4sRc7t3
118Please respect copyright.PENANACLf5EFI5K0
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA9J9yPo5kEL
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHRGTNwNdVD
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA7V32lHWmHE
118Please respect copyright.PENANAhmf1kPyMv9
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAiSM9AqOD8z
118Please respect copyright.PENANANsJ4OVtNRc
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAz9YtwHObRs
118Please respect copyright.PENANASrFIMauIOq
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.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5BkRTzAyM9
118Please respect copyright.PENANADsQFPW0RXO
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
118Please respect copyright.PENANATwBVf7WHXM
118Please respect copyright.PENANAlvXvdFlBEg
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAhd1USOqKeu
118Please respect copyright.PENANAAoHdahVtkT
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAN831vhQOF9
118Please respect copyright.PENANA9IyeHKiqdE
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
118Please respect copyright.PENANA9l8yMzQcLc
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqipe4gGTyN
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAhk07HdPVeJ
118Please respect copyright.PENANAmrzGRxq0Hd
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
118Please respect copyright.PENANADRKh88oLlq
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgleDlsHdiG
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAKpJDkLcbsj
118Please respect copyright.PENANAJpqd58ywDZ
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAmWskucUWr7
118Please respect copyright.PENANABVzN2390Of
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANACUsZPjbftK
118Please respect copyright.PENANACZDrqwhbNO
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjNAkxhRA4a
118Please respect copyright.PENANAOzUfCnpRow
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAp5pHEFZuH9
118Please respect copyright.PENANAsuG8ESfluV
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAUlvCC1Inky
118Please respect copyright.PENANAtwoCMKcO4T
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfdoZ6I625F
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfvau1JwuRL
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!
118Please respect copyright.PENANAik78t3e0SP
118Please respect copyright.PENANANJxr4VirDK
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
118Please respect copyright.PENANANm71GEo4YM
118Please respect copyright.PENANAa5dEgnZBUQ
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAmYhhdhUpbx
118Please respect copyright.PENANA9wVLY0w217
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqlABZMzHRV
118Please respect copyright.PENANAZzQ6zogozL
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAAoeW7BcjPa
118Please respect copyright.PENANApaCH2tQZg2
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoi84bcqNti
118Please respect copyright.PENANAk2QTpo3FE3
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAnozkDAvSWO
118Please respect copyright.PENANAv4cINAbQoO
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA7rd21BJ2q5
118Please respect copyright.PENANALks6I0dNTO
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6br6IysclN
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfUSQ5KnCGY
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAlls4FCnHbD
118Please respect copyright.PENANAUvxfbyRq98
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
118Please respect copyright.PENANA48dlfR0kE5
118Please respect copyright.PENANAs49pNufey8
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAxiUmSF6Cxq
118Please respect copyright.PENANAK9J9ZFxyqb
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFTNde4C3XY
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0TkC9ILz8Z
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAevb00RAjZt
118Please respect copyright.PENANArdxR8V6q81
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
118Please respect copyright.PENANANH6BnKmUan
118Please respect copyright.PENANAigu2vxX9VX
Flamma: “Is that all?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAGln9omO4ST
118Please respect copyright.PENANAlxf8v0Ziim
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?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA2Slt1IaajY
118Please respect copyright.PENANAf0gfZRp5nG
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAzEQ2350pZ5
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgKGo2SNDAp
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
118Please respect copyright.PENANALM9fMOq4RQ
118Please respect copyright.PENANAK1PtBsqfne
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfo1ZiGpcjq
118Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Dm46N6cg
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAVCmulfwWHl
118Please respect copyright.PENANAg3BVT864v5
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA34f6YobMin
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4hMJL9NfHZ
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAumlhQ1mo22
118Please respect copyright.PENANAVx0ohIXBNd
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAPxNOz4dL1q
118Please respect copyright.PENANAOqSCDD7Q6Z
Dove: “After you.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAE5ZBopB4Na
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvflicr5NN5
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIMPRzRa2GY
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjgJZUolUR5
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAarPPYLdzO3
118Please respect copyright.PENANAgO2dmbd5R6
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAb0I1i7tZDE
118Please respect copyright.PENANAz7Cu2wTFVI
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.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAWLZWiQlKp0
118Please respect copyright.PENANAtAhytLQFS0
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAOu1jJ5O3Ct
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5fOXkEH1WS
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0FQRf8iVFZ
118Please respect copyright.PENANA3hBoquV7vb
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAza5wdVMyIX
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjKmgygWCob
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAME1YhMvopy
118Please respect copyright.PENANAc0uv6rzhBQ
Dove: “Got it.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoQmPicGeH6
118Please respect copyright.PENANAJaMWy1JBF1
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…
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4M0nndJuBr
118Please respect copyright.PENANAn5lNx1C1yp
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANATqOQc8rdJU
118Please respect copyright.PENANAKK41WKpWrT
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAhcQp34hFJ5
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4s61PlWozf
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAjxeLkaPj5r
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbZTHLjf2Fh
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
118Please respect copyright.PENANAkxpw6QXiOV
118Please respect copyright.PENANAhbkMZukxkd
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAE9wE3KW8gS
118Please respect copyright.PENANA3PPxXxSTea
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5TJaR0eJ6G
118Please respect copyright.PENANA2VgWq2WqEv
Dove: “Agreed.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0ihEk6Hyb2
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMDKyILSaHV
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANADhFXjLWWd4
118Please respect copyright.PENANALUd6Lv0Mn9
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAsOFpyEP1wR
118Please respect copyright.PENANAcU7RFZYmin
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA19vFMhUX0H
118Please respect copyright.PENANAkTWgx6KVK5
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8JQy1EQb2K
118Please respect copyright.PENANA09r9iCO5Ut
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAEjaK5C7iXT
118Please respect copyright.PENANAb0VWOzqVuV
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAZnXcz4Sppw
118Please respect copyright.PENANAFkhiGonILq
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANANzUwt1YIiE
118Please respect copyright.PENANA81VEAq2Bra
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0BpdtmIZrj
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIqR0rGVcT8
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqhGudfacHs
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAf0XTJ04vX6
But Tech wasn’t done.
118Please respect copyright.PENANArO8fTWtZm8
Tech: "Time to change things up."118Please respect copyright.PENANAlXy8QdPdOK
118Please respect copyright.PENANALp01B5KWfy
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANANaXicbjzNo
118Please respect copyright.PENANAzvbXtJCwLp
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvqMIFzA8bT
118Please respect copyright.PENANADKuQZBfBRK
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAL2IXDHvyjx
118Please respect copyright.PENANA7zExrS7yPy
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvf6qRngFLz
118Please respect copyright.PENANA0RBciiVkIU
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA5iItXZBXsS
118Please respect copyright.PENANAiaVkcm69Yh
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
118Please respect copyright.PENANAdHMRbajqJ0
118Please respect copyright.PENANAd8al0lt7Vb
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAmmPcQbX4k4
118Please respect copyright.PENANA8E1nhhiviE
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAMRVgBLFIJU
118Please respect copyright.PENANAAHXre3sCd8
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAYU0Io41bTl
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHqLpQN4fSH
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
118Please respect copyright.PENANAEQRogwemKV
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6OwpW1qBLV
Tech: "Get over here!"
118Please respect copyright.PENANAOVwZ7h6wVf
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbRkFN298S2
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAys3cpdPT9J
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIPDGsXfkoX
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.
118Please respect copyright.PENANADmzikjoBkP
118Please respect copyright.PENANAoIjA4drBuY
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAKSj4jyrfEN
118Please respect copyright.PENANArRDULYWE5p
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
118Please respect copyright.PENANA77Id5zzn99
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvFYp54QcJ6
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAGow5ma64cG
118Please respect copyright.PENANAaB6R9atChi
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAqXYLjYSoz7
118Please respect copyright.PENANAIBrFZkD19w
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHivqxCuCnF
118Please respect copyright.PENANAL7HC1mVkfi
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAWd2nypaYTg
118Please respect copyright.PENANA79SAuSTpFW
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6e5ASDHtHE
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHa3KtL24WD
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANA4do1IhRlmU
118Please respect copyright.PENANAsF1K2GGd53
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAvdze6G1yeI
118Please respect copyright.PENANAKAunspbyfe
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbnnzrV1e1t
118Please respect copyright.PENANAkneRsOuSAH
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
118Please respect copyright.PENANAq2jB4dA7bv
118Please respect copyright.PENANAbIL7YOSqXZ
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
118Please respect copyright.PENANAfb6WZSitZV

Flamma: “You know, I’m starting to think this was all a big waste of time.”

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. 118Please respect copyright.PENANABHamwm20Hq
