Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ9vvkraWD
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1kE6IIIZ5
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNizUZwQu
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoaYD1NkUy
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqB24vCukK
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP06u4k6FmN
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBXViorxf
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRH5TpgGZQ
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnxjFqHA1E
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgT8JbGsuc
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2EnsDdEm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSEbsAtpeR
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.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOYHUBhKr8
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr9szqCPZo
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU6V235AF7
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85yPcU3ZB
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zLxSUc50
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezFOcWMgq
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8zQDFkNUk
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6BVvR8tmf
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppVzPiqjiO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37cjmFgKod
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaAIogtZIX
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVRpZtj6xY
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSejx5GlPOX
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE3msmhyRI
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfMMfjpABP
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpieFG4C2R
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG4qtZv1Jx
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNilTmM2Cr6
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReSgAsjKI1
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm1RVbyclt
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1XHF8W6R2
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeNXN7ZiMl
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTpcPh7Exz
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcnrqn4Dzr
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET1GXdlH2Y
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVTvUdI9AQ

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFcM4tmppV
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa4Qyvyxcf
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYjjDeRYJy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mjiQOlvqw
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbjZCS9Blb

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

Kirche: ‘For now.’
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS7BwOiFFT

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rUi3okNLz
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYrd853Ip8
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKFKI6He1
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWzsvBKWGE
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEYX9WQjoS
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4wFYlrbXE
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eBNXnZUJD
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqTFViW3lG
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis6rdvVS2S
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bGzl6IWR
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y2jsm8pXt
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7lD5zX5ZO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOpKwrzxou
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.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RaBgVGpOg
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF0qaQ297J

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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrJouYT1Ke
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHmTLAbgRS
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb9tq8WHau
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQwzmLxvYO
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMInOSMHUk
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVQxXL4d5Q
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lyMyPYFup
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDLWUCN4Y
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMEdgRVhzD
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DqZIrDkRA
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TeUSE6WoR
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F25088H83
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pYTn24izi
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp68mHFf9Bk
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHscFpppMT
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJgRzx1mM
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P3rl5pn8a
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD7e30C5Jf
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAP39gZ5xx
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQMiD5dSCz
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0o1EFddZ7
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaozKm1WUN
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdvqJWCZpC
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwkyBsEh7O
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!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe60hxj9yq
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzgPdkUpT8
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSe8NXo5XA
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzR6uNObk
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiCN84ht30
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQSXIrRJp
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeGDnyRb7F
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWy404s1Of
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBI6xu1zrf
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VHBDIWomw
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KajHS0obS
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVz1O4kGbd
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnLgvJbl8d

Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9vwm2hxql
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYap9oem1kj
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO3nHFx2n4
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RDOEzuv1u
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcCWLnfZr
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxnTYZVlDM
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i93BOOXq0
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqlMmzKYqV
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVqz5le8CZ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJWFTk9M5l
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEihiWSpLB
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmipdghYYv
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VMTADyGIu
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9DAXuhEn
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbCuW7fznV
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlopqAgcluZ
Flamma: “Is that all?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ337rdPrDVU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwVE65pg6
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?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFfnFN8owq
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gUhkHdoYn
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZXD7339a
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYPnmRPI1S
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2LX3ofKUM
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhOIUXvXNg
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8HURnFasX
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPda7nEs8U
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkMS0NCK5
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBqrAXcJe
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1z1tr5Suv
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XqIHxun3D
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cSKZro4qo
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Adp3Gm7Q
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SuJK8shCo
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgSi9j3vwm
Dove: “After you.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKMZhSZq6X

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6v12hl01
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThIsd2yYSL
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTNNwlJWdk
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRATfUGuEx
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrP96ZrwI
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMmQ6EzPM
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.’
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZhivTF62
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcCybCE1O
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9VEHaAK9
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnnzy3JNXh
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RW9acyZr5
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbbpbC5He
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYLscDCcM
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKshRaNIZ
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1tzM6KiCY
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwyMQazI0U
Dove: “Got it.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmqj1gO6XF
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAJvBTJtd4
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…
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0CU7vUnti
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuFQdb2OhP
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgQyAgTYXe
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUMMnYrAB
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8P3DgSGHs
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzInyRcOagX
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYl4IY98CO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2yRDTEu42
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzw9w6LdLD
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2tzIprc3w
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3wfY3BNd3
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PL35p7IYs
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpY2O02lSu
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IFYW1B3g7
Dove: “Agreed.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTkwfdOONC
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWenPEHERZq
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7JWeg457
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGizAnRMTKN
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ157xsk2Bid
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFAM9hnjru
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKCBPOKPUa
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArILet7Jt3
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhGf28KM2T
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQDOXMNPbJ
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT93LmacLff
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxKVaXy64E
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r1aOemTAs
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2gSCBGYmv
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBIYpYucCP
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PUUFObR2r
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRydBAlR0G
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJtRgUbr99
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpDtLDKHNs
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRE7G7gAC
But Tech wasn’t done.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPMaJ2Slr
Tech: "Time to change things up."341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZI76dBnnq
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV8Vndriqf
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpghMNWoDR
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPec0y3b4
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGGsQNBuL
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2fQXtwsdM
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLMkny0Ghz
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZXA3eAi3A
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzScJeO12TI
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbumYLBk0v
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeOh6ZWHNF

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMTVv7VRlx
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElQxJ69j2m
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3FvdAyV8x
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjc6qqDTeq
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIv5yDGH7E
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJ1hmHsM0
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqPZ6af9ie
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bUHku9dEa
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMCyIQOzy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhoJtKPlEG
Tech: "Get over here!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZQMwb1OVN
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhUVDuGmK
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z8HaTf8gH
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVueO1CT0k
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqte1jKPGev
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Qf6z6ERU
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?"

Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”

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.

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.
