Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAS7lLwAAfnP
448Please respect copyright.PENANAfVxiv0qihU
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAafKq27VNtM
448Please respect copyright.PENANAmnXKOtwsAD
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANARwEo6eip9l
448Please respect copyright.PENANARFOqeHAtdc
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhjvneLvbfw
448Please respect copyright.PENANAgxQhvwVi0a
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAnIhk4UPeKI
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2RngLOes7d
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAmwzhsnOMQX
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJYq9OSdOmA
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFZziy2j2HW
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVIyb3yH6Rr
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2YeLg0K4m6
448Please respect copyright.PENANAA4j0nqxVUo
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJd8c1kJS
448Please respect copyright.PENANAieJArQm7JS
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAMmZFeGkoRt
448Please respect copyright.PENANAxtp6U05BbN
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANANMYNX9Bwyb
448Please respect copyright.PENANALtC5mQD6GD
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAA9CYadq2ss
448Please respect copyright.PENANADe5iXmm1Oi
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAORfpXWV4bf
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2m92WtAeM8
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
448Please respect copyright.PENANACHbiruLzBe
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7xpWDlUwcn
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAqxSAuGkNG3
448Please respect copyright.PENANAAR8Fexe67Z
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAEdGdshpW0w
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZQdGO8JLX
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuGb80BWdAJ
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAxbu4dtPNkh
448Please respect copyright.PENANAI0mGcAU9QY
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAL5TZZQBJOl
448Please respect copyright.PENANAshIaiCnL05
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFuHXw8bz5B
448Please respect copyright.PENANAu2uPJuCIIp
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAqKMkGAoJ24
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZbncDhe7fE
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAz4iRIs2SgU
448Please respect copyright.PENANADcuaXWc1df
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAboUDHvzSnt
448Please respect copyright.PENANANNLKuKEXEp
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA70U912uE5h
448Please respect copyright.PENANAajTpaeQxQ2
Kirche: ‘For now.’
448Please respect copyright.PENANA3nv6MIFsCb
448Please respect copyright.PENANAT5Hr3GRT8q
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAxmibXs75U4
448Please respect copyright.PENANAGH6pp6bn9n
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAeT1lWYwWAT
448Please respect copyright.PENANAPgaTaLdVrt
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzSoKu7qYcA
448Please respect copyright.PENANAWAratrauC1
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANADNolXJ94Ri
448Please respect copyright.PENANAsMMw0QByvS
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuDNQH5dPUS
448Please respect copyright.PENANAyOb1BZGqHq
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANALsxrAzqMTZ
448Please respect copyright.PENANAroo77kjUaJ
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA4pop6Aleb3
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXbOTiFaHYZ
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAHenpy2LMdF
448Please respect copyright.PENANAlkBXh92obi
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7JhwdJGvA7
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUXx7q42YOU
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAH9raLxMKJB
448Please respect copyright.PENANAtRf4PJj09j
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAPu8ddwqzuk
448Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ6Q4gMAdv
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
448Please respect copyright.PENANA8W7g4vGLe2
448Please respect copyright.PENANAxN6SW6i3R5
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzzE0y8Fofu
448Please respect copyright.PENANAo9RsDbZ9ol
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQOZ5piwYEW
448Please respect copyright.PENANAYx9PfABUgb
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAIcvBclpepp
448Please respect copyright.PENANAf8j6f77Ccq
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
448Please respect copyright.PENANAWFoqbyPjWb
448Please respect copyright.PENANA0W3DAyXxKf
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
448Please respect copyright.PENANApfPlO9cMnS
448Please respect copyright.PENANAA5ZXCORXIn
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAa2HGRtiHx4
448Please respect copyright.PENANAN7pWfnny1a
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzHK54X1l1r
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFtlFLraqzT
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAURjxWMPOrA
448Please respect copyright.PENANAafhnec1Xwd
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAv1m65etjlD
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVK5qku4gHG
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!
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVv4fYkVXii
448Please respect copyright.PENANAG9E58EvUx1
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJm2JXLm55Z
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQxGkQlOAVX
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAAWVGL5Eoua
448Please respect copyright.PENANAF2apQFYPOS
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAprQ1nhDoGL
448Please respect copyright.PENANA9fpz8Y4WUy
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhDRBmww03N
448Please respect copyright.PENANAaPXsVoI4QI
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7LpVzQ0ley
448Please respect copyright.PENANASY5hApifln
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAOd55ZS8eyn
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzoYjgTmICH
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAoBSNgzICwg
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUBxUIHoxE9
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hn0hSecNg
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUcB9JqAcKO
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAfHMg3b5wm5
448Please respect copyright.PENANAODEb1SeJtQ
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
448Please respect copyright.PENANAIx8ysJTtyH
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXn3pY54E5X
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAGRFXcxKa5t
448Please respect copyright.PENANA79UrLdEopC
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAROQpXpLRX7
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZDOOYd1OR5
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA76ZmB1BzXi
448Please respect copyright.PENANAHywcJ4rZZG
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzisF2EXuwL
448Please respect copyright.PENANAsnGD9FEJ85
Flamma: “Is that all?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAiFfqXu7FhX
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuQGhX2BUoA
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?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANACW3ws0NY3o
448Please respect copyright.PENANASNxfk7GA5S
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAdFh25VXaKk
448Please respect copyright.PENANAIAZ4q5qKJY
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAKIgBpUQvTu
448Please respect copyright.PENANACRogcKf7Rg
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA3eZ28QxDoS
448Please respect copyright.PENANAyJsqlB5jD5
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAOwzYz9gvU0
448Please respect copyright.PENANA9j6V0x0wKz
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA03MSThXIWm
448Please respect copyright.PENANAmyz1v1llcN
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuo3itOcKJs
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFxvioNhSQN
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
448Please respect copyright.PENANANPaemEucNR
448Please respect copyright.PENANAtX99Rfv7gQ
Dove: “After you.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANADxTkUsExGc
448Please respect copyright.PENANAs9jOCwAImS
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAsco41jjY9F
448Please respect copyright.PENANACh00mZBwnJ
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAYyl47HKTDN
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6VSosfUMS7
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzvh43QbzLC
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhHs0RiegcR
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.’
448Please respect copyright.PENANArBjd5QQxLA
448Please respect copyright.PENANA3imiHB08CF
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAf13lPyWwGs
448Please respect copyright.PENANASIcLJ1slld
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAEhZOBDx3Oo
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVnMEOGC4y1
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAaXRHy5tIMF
448Please respect copyright.PENANAnp9glVFPX1
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAMToWkaMosM
448Please respect copyright.PENANADAQNjvIFZk
Dove: “Got it.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAOwX6zzRZeq
448Please respect copyright.PENANAcC0PUkcSm2
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…
448Please respect copyright.PENANAwe6HsoJYB6
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQTk7Y7XSVl
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6snMiqL3Yk
448Please respect copyright.PENANA4npign1LR8
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAocDXM4uM1C
448Please respect copyright.PENANAaop9CIDGHL
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA619SfQJ488
448Please respect copyright.PENANA0YVerSERKR
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFZFEyQbtY5
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhtgwCf6Y0j
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuZZYk2vFkc
448Please respect copyright.PENANAN8HyUe4n2p
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzZsIQSULT2
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6gI7IukyEW
Dove: “Agreed.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAl1acKUvmez
448Please respect copyright.PENANAKYY60HlKvW
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2CrA5RU2D7
448Please respect copyright.PENANAdpaWQQbCfg
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAP18J55aqZx
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzY9tDsAlsS
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFYJp9y5K3g
448Please respect copyright.PENANAY4gE1NiJrS
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
448Please respect copyright.PENANANiicQBrozX
448Please respect copyright.PENANAwKbndB6k6h
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAK4E6I4szYj
448Please respect copyright.PENANAbX1pOJFh0s
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAz2RvsXx7zl
448Please respect copyright.PENANASN3OOlcYO8
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANARYTuvbWQse
448Please respect copyright.PENANAOxb7utzezB
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAPAUtuNg2Og
448Please respect copyright.PENANAdNCivsNgkb
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANABoSrd7G1FP
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAd5zo5GrAWS
But Tech wasn’t done.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAim23Wy9gpy
Tech: "Time to change things up."448Please respect copyright.PENANA2d5knkAyYo
448Please respect copyright.PENANAOEwoGPTWBv
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7jSTgXolVo
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6WGp3iMkuH
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQosXRo6SWt
448Please respect copyright.PENANAmoI4gC5irk
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2HDsPdDxfE
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQkRZ9RF61r
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
448Please respect copyright.PENANAO6i6X0A1a8
448Please respect copyright.PENANANnz6onzjLW
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6mzxK0vQ3T
448Please respect copyright.PENANAMQDnLZb2a3
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
448Please respect copyright.PENANAB4SCAuoEv5
448Please respect copyright.PENANA8AGoLHiORg
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhVzpcoaYp5
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuUmK1MLehA
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ3b91IMmF
448Please respect copyright.PENANA4jOSyycm87
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAgbusWR5JYz
448Please respect copyright.PENANArBebLoelCW
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
448Please respect copyright.PENANAn079Qg0HND
448Please respect copyright.PENANADUh82kEMkQ
Tech: "Get over here!"
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXA43iLJnCh
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZel4zo0L7n
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuEkFGmxTae
448Please respect copyright.PENANAiJJHb6Pgpt
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANApPjRIH2oVV
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJoct8Adj3X
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXeGjVFrha3
448Please respect copyright.PENANAfNQum1MXjz
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
448Please respect copyright.PENANA8CtsdqdY5A
448Please respect copyright.PENANAoyyhjqCPti
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAfsEsjlKsJW
448Please respect copyright.PENANAAPaxCbbu9H
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAKk4EUi5QbH
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6OhsG6IRXo
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA9kQzRoeZCc
448Please respect copyright.PENANAn0728fDM6G
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAsCpodVtdKC
448Please respect copyright.PENANAplUiPnOew1
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAWr12JmqPMK
448Please respect copyright.PENANA0JizO5csDk
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Rlf9UMxI
448Please respect copyright.PENANAMbAbFSeoBE
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZccxIginRA
448Please respect copyright.PENANAK76wwbS5HQ
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAI0pyLmSC92
448Please respect copyright.PENANAc5xVMOKomn
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAS08GHGH0Pl
448Please respect copyright.PENANAR3DzYJ1mVu
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAKum7zxlYuW
448Please respect copyright.PENANA4PR1kAkMDG
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. 448Please respect copyright.PENANAkujXdDQdeQ
