Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb41OuoMDb
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgLzjOySea
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xPdZgmJvB
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yz2o6au2M
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6SLutTZTh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aS38XLMG5
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4loToBz2PK
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0443z2sY0
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaD0O0mKPj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kb5QhSq13
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla1PJyyIxH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqMA0seUyi
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.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlRw027VSm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4L1kkKMGS
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnY61B2b4U
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObY0JeSkwj
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmfdQw6B7R
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZFT0eOjei
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ9CsvWfpO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEXq5sXGTs
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD2khIL4uG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckdeYTRwBL
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUv7HS4Si
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbKdsYSPlf
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhM64ggp5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDm9rmeSwZ
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.

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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWleiQ8Nlrm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLU7ISYi4N
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji7sQZHKlc
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dA4GXcmja
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EFH0aG8YH
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2wZB2epkT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ut4g0rCj
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAenprjOLsu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRGXTqWOa1
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL5U57Y4j1

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFu2evjDeP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGTYaaBaiO
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPayKPaJsh6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73lAVzeTof
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3BxDbgmO6

Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”

Kirche: ‘For now.’
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKsXBXj3SF

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxEEWrbWOk
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwckhufznEg
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb4kX15Tjv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyoESdCQza
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH5A2FqMCj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S2tt8mjnx
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg71Hn6dTRr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffMsL68tHB
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKHzmZvFTz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEtfTImSxr
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHDy5FgU11
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MLuhVzRPj
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7AMVgLHJ7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqi1Q9rEn7
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.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiPhSbMgoy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu8s9SrDtn

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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ugmYpeOZw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNrGhSZ68Y
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ihqzHSMRH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUGI9bhO8Z
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdYchLxjMz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qogAZMcMa
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZHei2qdaN
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRWqyeWp0Y
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVLqdreyhv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D9N5VcIAQ
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5SZXOJ5iP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegqgjVkKqL
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU6mOAFUR1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRuV9SiJkx
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30Vuir8m7

“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlstK65jFkO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFngLEKZBrx
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55PymqsSIo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbCNvKKbIm
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlkEzd9rVD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhvljYEYS
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10VoL6nLlU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB27QMWxz7a
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!
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U3MdwtfjG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6EJecFsgB
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1IejHWf3x
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4e45ETpCD
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrobBXCoTV
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsIu6clfoB
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOJ9biK2GV
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqjZg1Vkg8
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiUs0KyRvT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1hr45wVFC
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfrdkwbYHf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxULoU9Rdj9
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30JHTZodYi
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcHBrx5PAP
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9S6OXBUj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD0xcOl4np
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaxDYHfwv4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0dF1kTNb3
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7vAHPtJfY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0JrbVUEuE
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzWBmhmJ1Z
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxv7OdReQc
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFQznNTLxa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35LK1HXXc
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyjJB38Sge
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIqXLie9gl
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3uNVAHiCF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuDJTnnDvY
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6bmlz6dH2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEcVMtEy1n
Flamma: “Is that all?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO73F9QLVHj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbhqdLzT2Y
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?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGt897M7zI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqRHC5nlJ2
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHksOkWkjm0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyDH4Itd6N
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirUN4B1xN0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o9ba0ks5d
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3PWb3l5yQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrE08Z8cSF
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LeApCA4On
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhOrkBV9bR
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TMUJ4lHGy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hHEo2yPLw
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzIVyM98Cr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05iXRSWmJS
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fo9U0Yh7p
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UoeJJ06Yc
Dove: “After you.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFcjxVyyyQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAezS3HC9j
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtiFaltYYA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4L2JUGESP
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYkGidEcbq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnfLLzgWrw
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytdeDHlRjF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRkq6XnH7Z
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.’
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUkDBWnEKS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCclCKVSjE
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRHnCoHHIm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRtY2mESf
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zqmgWAba2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQC1Igxpxb
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsIEUtxx16
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2fqi9ix8H
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wtIPmSdCb
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdxC9uZk0
Dove: “Got it.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fVPNiVDcs
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DwGK43eH4
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…
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKvrJHjnak
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSSvp0fZhT
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8F487uePY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJR2kDlHIz
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZufWO2qBd
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLXpgzDtXk
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4DGmVHfle
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa8PfTJ5Ct
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMTu9bCkTZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZKZxAirxc
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuzvBdKaZF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXWbiTp9WK
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkGHFZlNv7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeazoh6V2m
Dove: “Agreed.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cmz0uB5UJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHnRm3Y7Et
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUUF5smQFo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpeJKbjqQ
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zNo25WOq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju4ZpSU6be
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPw9s2IG9P
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqiXCgy2t
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRWUJydzv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPTRwAid8
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ685gexNVWf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwcEWD6XFA
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByV0Fd8k1s
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQTaLbBvJX
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8GN73bDiy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJVBZj2kfB
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxsCS62286
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM87pcrTzn
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIYroOJpdr
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfhVrXoGgz
But Tech wasn’t done.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANvX8Eqsdr
Tech: "Time to change things up."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSt2h9lw0n
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP3lQmGFXu
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqhvTbTIgu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJEYVQdMNq
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLp4allZU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxV6wNWnMb
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20TrpZoS8y
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1sduKIwzN
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMvkYxwIOj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0yNzcWlZ
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf03Ommk7F

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjLZ7uYyXS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i1akBwfxZ
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAEhWxgGYa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmdfLq62va
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v3JzqWekG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8boVY14t0
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfA0gWKAp9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uf3hSBrao
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl9wtwranl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2KcvSA4xe
Tech: "Get over here!"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMlr7NNqKn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4ulwEPP2
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUtim4yHrn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zfInAPzfm
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnzEjba12X
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMLbZAFnzO
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyvkLcz86F

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA6s1NGo7M
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9bPwHVjNj
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.

Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”

With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.

Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.

Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”

With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

The crowd was stunned by the display of power. Some for different reasons than others.

For the nobles, this was a wake-up call. Sure, Flamma wasn’t fully human but Dove and Tech were human to them. Despite being commoners, they had the ability and/or resources to challenge them.

Jake was surprised by just how advanced Tech’s arsenal was. If his world was that far ahead, even he would have trouble with it.

Tabitha originally followed Kirche just out of habit. She didn’t really care about the duel. But now she’s glad she came. Tech has caught her eye. The knowledge the boy must have to build all of this in one day. It’s truly fascinating.

Zander has seen many things but even he was impressed by the technology on display. He’s interested in what else Tech can do. Maybe he can even help his own realm.

Kirche only came here to spend more time with Zander. She didn’t care about this fight one bit. Tech did impress her but Flamma and Dove drew her attention more. She couldn’t help but see them as rivals for Zander’s affections. And with the skills they’ve shown, Kirche may have to step it up a notch to keep ahead.

Raskreia was possibly the only one not too surprised by the events. The only thing that did surprised her was Flamma’s dragon nature. It was much like her own, there’s even an air of divinity to her. Rask will definitely ask her about it later.

Osmund was deeply worried. Tech has shown to be very dangerous if trifled with and his full abilities haven’t been shown. With the support of Louise’s familiar and a maid with sword skills far above the norm, there is much to worry about.

Aeron wasn’t impressed by the maids but Tech could be trouble. He can tell that he will get even stronger in the future. Worse still, he has a good relationship with Flamma. The only other familiar that has some pull on Louise. Flamma alone was bad enough but her with Tech will be an issue. This is one weed he feels the need to cut quickly.

Miss Longuevuille was unsure what to think. In the beginning, she thought the old man made a mistake betting his money on the commoners. She was greatly mistaken. This had her shaken up for sure.

Colbert was amazed by Tech’s abilities but his focus was on Flamma’s runes. They were quite strange and somewhat familiar. He will be paying a visit to the library after this.

Louise was amazed. Yes, Tech was incredible and Dove impressive. Both beings she summoned and that is something to be happy about. But her focus was on Flamma. She wasn’t a commoner, but somehow part dragon. Her first familiar, the one that accepted her.

She could have easily refused like the other dragon but instead chose her despite having the power to refuse. Everyone else probably saw her abyssal eyes and felt fear. But for Louise, she thought they were the most beautiful things she had ever seen.

But more than any of the ones before, the one most affected was Siesta. It was a dream. A part of her didn’t want to believe what she saw because it was so impossible. But it happened. In all rights, she helped make history happen. But at the moment, she didn’t care. She was touched that they would go so far for her. She has truly never had friends like them.

She ran up to her fellow maids and jumped into their arms, giving them the warmest hug she could manage. They readily returned it.

Tech heard her and turned around. He waved to them to follow him inside. The maid trio went inside and the door shut behind them. As it does, Louise can’t help but feel a bit left out.

But she pushed down any jealousy and dispersed alongside the rest of the crowd. She had another familiar she could talk to. Maybe he’ll join her when she goes and confronts her fake.

Author Note: I'm alive and in a better state than before. I hope you like the length expansion of this story. But sadly, this doesn't mean I'll be able to update this on the regular. I hope I can since I love writing it but life will be a bitch so you know how it is.

Tell me what you think of the story so far and the implied pairings. I'll see you next time, if there is one. Thanks for reading. 391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtuqU508M
