Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOSnPZRmg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSW1BWRGTx
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AbFsdQQAJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jy2qD5qeI
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbdKKmXtTA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY80l1bSLv
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTce2v8HEH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq2ClPJI43
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCba9fFvlGm
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLDkoZ8IDX
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVO36rI9Kt
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D3EfTrGlo
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.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoqE7yeXWq
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNT8SzD8CV
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFAAXlp9eC
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY21Lusbwp
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabepwG2Wmp
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYt4qZKYKQ
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VD1EQ90x8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLmP1SsFDw
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP4dnw6VWN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfO919ctun
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokPLYrbChw
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrASxeenK2f
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1F49DoC1z
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10eltsIiLD
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG3dwNVuoI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVSnivB4R2
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjsyI27obZ
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WM0oMddD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yICEpwLYa
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuofUoSUvz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiklsDTSaHt
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVYiqYmTOD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu8QbAFumf
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”

Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww5Pen2mD9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdvCTjURFh
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvdEnB7HDM

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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM8uc0Y8BE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrLz6jEpvA
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBTtoGUgWs
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QPmowvvP9
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6icVskOB8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKCVZV60dl
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8ue97sUpu

Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtLKyNpAOo
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBQW1CEGDm
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.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14B9eVdb4k

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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIgWnuXboS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawguQTpVTr
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCU1Tgp9gE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS3jIpNeFg
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x4sakerLJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKywMQen7Vg
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVtlmVIvoa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgfhoAqWAi
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnzQx65Es3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Vva43Ny3
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”

Flamma: ‘Cool.’

The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaiO04ZOeF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8iHJw6G0c
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtyjmyHLiT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi1hEzQGEr
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5riVJW0hwP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToX2TQKAty
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!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHF9hNYEQc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcd7EgTMA
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5aUIdnewJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTP1TtEKgK
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5W9jLTMbd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oLJnwQn6i
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmeI4pZnYo
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJry8EKnB0X
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61pxZuaqu5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShfz9AwaJ9
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”

Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOhT2Q0ub
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Lmrd3QOQ
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ6sN9TVjz

Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’

Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVRgU7g37y
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD0Pe36pG6
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWsOZm2QAv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmVZpSKxH3
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsRR1tbidM

Flamma: “Is that all?”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYryvEJ2186
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGowi2BFxzr

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuWezEB08H

Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdCuM2bP70

Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKmZkm91LA

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”

Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.

Dove: “After you.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezwbN52sXy

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyl2af1bel
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKh0NveXdy
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMatQvFyeB
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWMe9C6UCY
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxiuVryauB
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.’
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IWAfor4e0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz3y5g0LY2
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUVIBXyq7G
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSubMhuhYc
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuwNYYloLr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cJD1Fc2Y4
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtDmlYkN9M
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinyxnZ6T5X
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUBdjUjqqx
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezXM3ogYhb
Dove: “Got it.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0Y8yFnV3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2EIboG89
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…
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDoBx2hEZ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE4FXNszRW
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwdMCiWKd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ab8EKVKS4
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6sLlCJnbH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYB84vpgjL
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKWvCaGyGs
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN2y6bdycR
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKqW0PGUr0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIakdySzBXS
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKYU20mFFl
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvXtm90GJG
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnwqog2iR

Dove: “Agreed.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NO08wrNjq

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2MistDVf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJWvcalvoT
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNDJrQhbNR

Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi3Iq43IhA

Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYtlsYD8E
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVsIYW4m5G
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazwlfrVpj
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOM8426GYu
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNImIYw6H7
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvatvgjsTP
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9k1qWQBk4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpU59r9gqL
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJabsUC5zc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY5yrB0hft
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAMFuD9Z5G
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjNC83xFWn
But Tech wasn’t done.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ECmZKgtvC
Tech: "Time to change things up."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEeMihNvg2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuwa1WquHP
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HMAuYk6hT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiab0RwW4o7
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T4Nb7fvpU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiaKQNjf3m
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P7DU1v7OC
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6aNh1dfQU
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGn2ATB0E3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LSC3dfkDx
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmsWabt38L

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvXQY5XaU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbBX19N4Ck
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6eVD229wd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5CPdw4Qhi
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UnhbNg54e
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVacUMGkwZd
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFPEfB5sXd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCnR911piq
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxqWbdn0iC
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmBqjuJEiM
Tech: "Get over here!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFksIGnbFXe
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv99UOGrBxA
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIG64zBMrv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhVWsEkfzi
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Krzzv7i5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmMfWNG4TY
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"

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.”

Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”

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. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fI8xr0J3m
