Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4YlkPaiVN
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH5pupK07e
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg5tvYwVNA
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx2AbgKwhc
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5AbioKcNZ
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiIHfwUVQD
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7KpEW8ICR
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDbVLDtwEB
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMxMr4c7Fr
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdM4hqehb0
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGOxNs5riY
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMIfWFEAxG
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.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiVUl6fmT4
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOi9C1o47k
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgYgSiBr30
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ZCLaW1vf
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypHUXpgA6m
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P5bht0Q4k
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS3eg3TzGL
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRFbzwa9hL
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaj0EMw4Aa
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h6zPoV8ql
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKIIgG5Lt9
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheim1yQeiU
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nO7InyCRH
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKlzxb96HL
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7gJ1u4J4
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5iqwjDeSw
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wNwoPrtQl
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzjXFNuTDp
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChuR5HbNYF
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPfsxhEAIP
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdmoLWE4fK
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdPLMvyTtD
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXLkT7DIkO
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzmn897jcg

Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMAliqFIOx

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjMCrtxFul
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB32MRpqnF
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ848rgjmVTs
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL10vfrKITA
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurBKQiIhjQ
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5cRb5ZZyC
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1heUpRleZ
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GkpSr1Yyy
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9hX9FaW67
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDWytiXU8x
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG1OqgChNL
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeSrbpOkmF
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnBM0cSU6M
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.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1oTMkfCcS

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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUphXXeQZs
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SQdIpcaUN
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozaWAshJlY
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdDL8V6Z2
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Odes1DBIX
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxNeqFuXVY
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPdrAHuL36
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo1JRCVpaQ
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGtpZ09Bk
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUEDSnvjC
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNWUxFzKRz
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4J0H8shvh
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2mFLMYaxC

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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsQz0zag8p
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtk7fZbtEF
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjRaliSPXR
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0zW8bzBPv
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcWZfYLvnB
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGw5jJetgj
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!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2swXfxV3Rc
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoSatkcAUS
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTmdb3Cn29
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozsPn8kQ2X
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmSwmPsYI2
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuw645n026
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c5PMZrkX8
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Ti3iuJtl
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i0LKjUREP
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZjF4oU15a
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”

Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”

Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu20qlzV0Z

Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXtyCzMZu
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXzZpPFPT3
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b9D2SUn1Y
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCuzPjqrm
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbenFRf8Yb
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iLFNbPgJt
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvDY1VJAwu
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiBcomUrTO
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0XHIqFtcB
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6dWhWbii4
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zb38D5hCW
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9LdRi15hg
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysrZU0mu2G

Flamma: “Is that all?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvwTHjXRv2
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXjShaQyIM
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?”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7A6STBk5z

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnBuC051lg
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rfAxTIYR

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEPZGYy1gJ

Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJihrhOdCZ

Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrl08HHdNG
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuuP897aGT

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”

Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEnv56CHih
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr42X9ukthR
Dove: “After you.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsgVt8KF9F

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBnhN45Hpy
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm86cnD13h
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdQ50uJPvv
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK4j5RxKhz
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2yeQKnHV
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yEknrDEGv
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.’
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkvfVsqIzy
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MTzOAlMhg
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbna1jzzx69
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7w0elvAYy
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxqNFJQJfC
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aS02FYMYd
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6S8g3M61e
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAlPavzQw3
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JHxj9Hr2k
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WN4ELwPtL
Dove: “Got it.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DfWfJ7Phj
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq9STBMVBm
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…
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi5RDwTJGP
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpko5gcuCv8
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsbXbVP7f7
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJCu7KE3w
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRauk1bSCC
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7OkbDtgS
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWji2PuwGyA
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCDvI9Yga
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW98lyW7LMn
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUiQwpOoiP
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iikBX5c8q
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiSiGzrugy
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH8y71fRj3
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLR0LjDnZS
Dove: “Agreed.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAUL7XcHfT
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSekFksTR
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXdZ68Vj9o
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsnUabMTbd
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XdyMXJLtz
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSgFMEsDQ
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ55N2q4NZ
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlzfGGTkpJ
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGTINoT8ht
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaMBwfi8Uy
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUdL8ejqfp
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdadr3HufJj
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71RyAmGgi2
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxt53zAxh0
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq54I6IEHI
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHMyfJUjJ1
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimWeLi87uD
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4oov1uPqt
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsbFVXMXQ4
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtgUhXAM0H
But Tech wasn’t done.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLiAy4UmpF
Tech: "Time to change things up."392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zqtEzmmN
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIuKISj4ra
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOElOVusRn
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1OzTSkHAS
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdnE3uAGtn
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAUqIVVC7H
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8UeAEeg3Z
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWBZxAUNCA
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusjhEWMnXd
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI5w7Dpthk
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXczJ1C7Tl

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmH0XE8p51
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0hnEgT6z4
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrHcTi7NE
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvigZrrxUK
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07PqY70MP2
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Zj6GfLai
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY96jM2Xvz
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpey2bA1fs
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudXMCohnh1
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR6Jj0HPv7
Tech: "Get over here!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbu75sJKsX
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0jBLQXUn2
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OXwudHrqy
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6398vlUIGE
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aeYueTeNt
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MrIHeulIT
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

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.”

Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”

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.

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.
