Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANACsb1uolRQi
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhRRBrXnrug
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhlJ5Wscn6M
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyTvlz0S6oZ
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAi2Isl5fzAM
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUPocklai7j
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7XbKCZy0Xo
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYIiTQdc9Db
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0NLk38gFsP
122Please respect copyright.PENANAc71BMF0HV4
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcBFbK1pw51
122Please respect copyright.PENANAn9oR9MF1MT
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUCHFyXQHzn
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdIqCHWnXiv
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAp6ftKBMkBI
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ9YaTQz6I
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA30S1QmWLIL
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7tRdeezFW0
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfdc7I66qd1
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1h9x28T3m3
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwhpVwqI1Q4
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcT3CqRWTzK
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtcuFJfcPMS
122Please respect copyright.PENANAU5fLm6QTmy
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzFOp5CRvGz
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1GRbjJTxuk
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxdj62e2i6B
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHtUPZsGgXg
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ7TRXtAgN
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyO1Lh4n7zh
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhyRveP6w39
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2GEt9zomdG
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzDBBeCXOcZ
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPa0jBrKyur
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeAK3zOEv4G
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA59O6VwBQpd
122Please respect copyright.PENANAn8EDh9cQi9
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6FJUgTaHAW
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFDqPqWf1C0
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAH8v6dbkft
122Please respect copyright.PENANApUQH7Nmgx9
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAk0k27AE4B8
122Please respect copyright.PENANADDif7v9iHN
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAd28xgMFQoa
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdJnKd7yYrC
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcu39DzQa7B
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdnMOTbvWyc
Kirche: ‘For now.’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhOOvGKnYKi
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtUxaePpQmD
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzP1boZSSOB
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuDHoV2MG2M
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmSxOhCRccs
122Please respect copyright.PENANANnuyH515DM
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA46DbDjyTcK
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKRs8sDlWAq
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJd5uvnj7wl
122Please respect copyright.PENANA88KNIZy8tX
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6KnTZlpUde
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgcKsga4DGE
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6hhLzElqlo
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQKld3fOXCN
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkEnvi7A1ZH
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoYZ6qbgmW0
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxhktIuAfc5
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmT32ajuld2
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3KIPZ8NaMu
122Please respect copyright.PENANAd4NCwfPRmF
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbMisQRvc0T
122Please respect copyright.PENANAi1BUeKBXKh
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA48gqO3cJMb
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJpcoKky0l9
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6ix5fWNa0E
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjF6Qz72mhJ
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdb06zcN2hh
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnn1e3m7d7C
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAykClU668gg
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIkBp6RIQ9k
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANATANXRqCpdv
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmTxL0JXSVO
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAiuUjfN16P3
122Please respect copyright.PENANAq57y03V0n1
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
122Please respect copyright.PENANARfs6OJDcxM
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqHVYzw61sp
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAWkn5g48TGc
122Please respect copyright.PENANArHhNVyyjSy
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlNeHWHO9qz
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXSCtADSIno
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsS9TdtuiKB
122Please respect copyright.PENANAGyX6zpJMsd
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAr9jOvobYjy
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZCmzhvtCIj
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!
122Please respect copyright.PENANAerVxuOiMph
122Please respect copyright.PENANADCRN2fmTq9
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAaERzuC5ij9
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsst92zDOrD
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8KDdWdmQUD
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvRwAt4uClK
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAWaKS1ayxnW
122Please respect copyright.PENANACcHalo9YLd
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADnDSt946Bl
122Please respect copyright.PENANAD3HHsy93dX
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAj8OjVM2t2o
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0tFvMnXq0e
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAP24fmzXDOk
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXQYF8uu2Je
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhrcNaWUGf4
122Please respect copyright.PENANAN5Wn13sEr5
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3BS3uuECxf
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsLKM0qQtkY
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJv8IYWe2Om
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdArDCoimzZ
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvY9d2h54Z9
122Please respect copyright.PENANANBwilu7aln
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANANvjHVGBNnp
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyb9seL8wdd
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pw1bIevVF
122Please respect copyright.PENANAR7oyvrNTwj
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfaL6n7Dzse
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0AHkNtrBQF
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFixENiK1dK
122Please respect copyright.PENANA22HMwPU3iN
Flamma: “Is that all?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPl8e09n5U6
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKqoTSLYLyW
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?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAY3dD3hquEq
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwfqtoItAA2
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAibR7sGm3yK
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVkUPugioUL
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6DuOqMQYyD
122Please respect copyright.PENANAL6J1uoYgja
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoaivtvh1p6
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXuSoCvAaw5
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAi5WkpavSLB
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4My8j23YP4
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANATn9GtCQfBP
122Please respect copyright.PENANAju4LOHiipt
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1eMCr6MxTy
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxVkpoeigJY
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxdJJjKxTgx
122Please respect copyright.PENANAE1EKdSDAqL
Dove: “After you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAaOoqvMQdMS
122Please respect copyright.PENANAGF6sJ4amCd
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA18MnOyRYZQ
122Please respect copyright.PENANARmQZTqUQvb
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAaVR7ElHWV1
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXE9PuAYrf9
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjj6p5HNDmA
122Please respect copyright.PENANASOW9Asddjx
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.’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlxCCT5bVtQ
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFsM7qNxYHI
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMpmHJSjXHt
122Please respect copyright.PENANAs9jFlZPSHR
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwz5GeKpKjf
122Please respect copyright.PENANAp8Fm74JYUB
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbhMdM7BkNJ
122Please respect copyright.PENANAl0UaHPh3J3
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA536Mtvxel8
122Please respect copyright.PENANAo84BdW7wc7
Dove: “Got it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAY1zyPECHxh
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKI5zdhdYaY
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…
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVdDgVlMdXY
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4WIDQQSCwj
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANARUarNTYITq
122Please respect copyright.PENANANYlkMCpBRH
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmulKT87AGi
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0lqllIEna4
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANANkyjW2pf2e
122Please respect copyright.PENANAd4WiLdlhLC
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfkr8kBW76X
122Please respect copyright.PENANACoI6yRB2D3
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKByYGKdBIH
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUxEtpTYyzn
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9VY6DhlJ1r
122Please respect copyright.PENANAV40WPR5XeR
Dove: “Agreed.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9EwEmr2BdY
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUrH8llkhdS
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgJUZUYu093
122Please respect copyright.PENANAF4I6drkFsl
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAn2uYd4nyEJ
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9j3VFNlAb9
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALsRN1uuHk2
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvAMUzhM7wk
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q5d6o3WNj
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFaGoASwBe6
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9PT4WeyXB7
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfKDcdMzum3
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfMeObZXIqX
122Please respect copyright.PENANAY8NeeLxZzx
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQ376IeO94E
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvEzNxMN5vJ
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAH6UZxOH4DU
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7CrDRQvgjR
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA13kj8DR8Hh
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1BPqoNlrQQ
But Tech wasn’t done.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyUcpj8eV5L
Tech: "Time to change things up."122Please respect copyright.PENANA2pa0X3XmCt
122Please respect copyright.PENANAITufH45uBI
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANANz4DUsvpmB
122Please respect copyright.PENANAb61662AGko
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuAjEaBU848
122Please respect copyright.PENANAO9X48Q8joG
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4LfHCDwzc1
122Please respect copyright.PENANAq3XUjo81wZ
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlxmmvKnCp1
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuNcq6qMNc8
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuq24mj81IK
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFCZHfRetki
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUdQNhkeQoK
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhxiTIrTuBx
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhFdIke9ngY
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwUioRNFGak
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKbWOg9jIUr
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0SvZ2eX1k6
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlX3dDj4EmN
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxHLGdnx7u9
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
122Please respect copyright.PENANAf0Jv1JdJV3
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkCPNQ6IOm2
Tech: "Get over here!"
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkfPNLT1w3w
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuS4wGZlsJm
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfQOyzp0WPN
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvtOn49yMjJ
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZZlKVZwJZJ
122Please respect copyright.PENANApq7rV0FBh6
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAj04g6zxgHx
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvuYkx6rXRM
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
122Please respect copyright.PENANAz9k8s2BnQ4
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYPb5UjNjkL
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
122Please respect copyright.PENANATHrYl7DmxI
122Please respect copyright.PENANAr3UEBdF67W
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOibzf4hpIq
122Please respect copyright.PENANAm2VNb4UcRp
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA36m40SCjLU
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsadxlEwmJe
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYlea47VK0a
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZQgurcectg
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAR0EoI8zpO9
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtyjZPUKIsK
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgvhiuABIeG
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtcUdNpdwpP
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAROdvuyEqif
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhlKl5Iz0HJ
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwIeDXuQI4s
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQIrIPilRK1
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZW8f1CJcbN
122Please respect copyright.PENANALGrQQLkGZK
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
122Please respect copyright.PENANATlkXBQMzbf

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. 122Please respect copyright.PENANAHUgtIuN4pO
