Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnhJcpi2Ng7
430Please respect copyright.PENANAudtweHo8Hj
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtJKm0caoPp
430Please respect copyright.PENANARhiS6LxNTn
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAbmYHRBlv0U
430Please respect copyright.PENANAygUOfLAogr
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAFcivYgkxbL
430Please respect copyright.PENANAvDdJd20Si0
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhUXpxWRkYf
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zo2MeRfB5
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANABJtiocIbMu
430Please respect copyright.PENANAA0NZPPXu4z
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAktj3IH9JMH
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsOo7ydAZN8
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8w4NqCg3lX
430Please respect copyright.PENANADxBFCKn6Ys
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAyxemXdjRt3
430Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ6ygjWs0W
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQE2PMFKvCh
430Please respect copyright.PENANAISzEvLVado
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAz7dBLsF2OU
430Please respect copyright.PENANArfQafS1RX6
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA7LkFOWO5UV
430Please respect copyright.PENANAgE7cz3OVby
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAFd96eg2tKy
430Please respect copyright.PENANAYMeiuowdGQ
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8yp276MhrI
430Please respect copyright.PENANAwOgj70XE3g
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ldv731U6h
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmsq5xliEh6
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQa7b2gkQyu
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUUuubZYvDY
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnsqH5EHJKv
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANABqfj3zSinC
430Please respect copyright.PENANApAWUhuwSBh
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9XVioijqxf
430Please respect copyright.PENANAibvPxYr3IE
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAjlIsVeSyD6
430Please respect copyright.PENANAXu5t63TIMw
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtNFWvxrcU1
430Please respect copyright.PENANAyYme39BJ29
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAneMKDuT93y
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOjKOb9PWCW
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUecrMPU9UI
430Please respect copyright.PENANAIt6Dj7cqvn
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4jdIDQqoL
430Please respect copyright.PENANArBiysVNjQP
Kirche: ‘For now.’
430Please respect copyright.PENANAaMKJGWHEob
430Please respect copyright.PENANAo5JEdJi7HD
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZeUh0SUm3W
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHB3PMxjMMZ
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9XQTQHzYbw
430Please respect copyright.PENANACOqCVzPeXH
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA3wJzDGulfe
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnsO34CKOu3
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAXH4rBkjHVu
430Please respect copyright.PENANAT8IxwhjEqU
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAyXJitNizCa
430Please respect copyright.PENANAh94VYr6gi8
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMI7kfk4xOD
430Please respect copyright.PENANAFB9ucymS5e
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANATW50Fp5pvC
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQS7D9JTyXb
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnlQVmjKgeq
430Please respect copyright.PENANAlnWZJUmrRh
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAcsbyhlL4dx
430Please respect copyright.PENANAEV6Y8kxe4H
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAqXOPYGL2sU
430Please respect copyright.PENANARK3IXRYZks
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHSeP5zlZtS
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJORWWFF2cz
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
430Please respect copyright.PENANASPDSZy8VsJ
430Please respect copyright.PENANAvJYHHWIpc2
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnL4fnib0u5
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdOZYITtwFU
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAW393rFRNjM
430Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ9BhTQG4P
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA2QgoYyvZxq
430Please respect copyright.PENANALNrTDgh7Kh
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
430Please respect copyright.PENANALwOM4uXD2c
430Please respect copyright.PENANA6E2rW9klfE
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
430Please respect copyright.PENANALntkyhJ43k
430Please respect copyright.PENANAwGM2znTVZl
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAXDoy6ZRfOV
430Please respect copyright.PENANAoqd37e24Vz
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAe680aF2h6I
430Please respect copyright.PENANAxH0ilLycNt
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAczXxyMc8gP
430Please respect copyright.PENANAIejezfpWQD
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAkVL1oTiw6F
430Please respect copyright.PENANAU5PSuEZeA2
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!
430Please respect copyright.PENANATSnop9TqL6
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMt1WLPJWrr
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA083nqyumUi
430Please respect copyright.PENANABcbW98SF2m
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA70gLXhdXde
430Please respect copyright.PENANA3UqggDUH6l
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAusFdX1S6gA
430Please respect copyright.PENANAVtdUvnmVzr
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAb2tKMsAJ3t
430Please respect copyright.PENANAE8BbXq2MnX
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGSA0WWoDVU
430Please respect copyright.PENANAfrzV1KykKu
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAoN7ezGXArt
430Please respect copyright.PENANACZUrGLhPnd
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAp2EQ87xr7x
430Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jwu2bfYAZ
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAD84RraEXiV
430Please respect copyright.PENANAxa8258aNw5
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmKxmT4crrc
430Please respect copyright.PENANA5SOqLPuk7w
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
430Please respect copyright.PENANAAE8pkObgOm
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOcUdtXo2Lq
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA76QS6bkIDX
430Please respect copyright.PENANAXftXJrqTvs
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhENq0WfTh8
430Please respect copyright.PENANAm2inAdbaey
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhsSu51KsBT
430Please respect copyright.PENANAA7QKArlFp2
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAw5K3KYgZMd
430Please respect copyright.PENANAokF14USWpp
Flamma: “Is that all?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAxyel4NCVld
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtDWgtS4aAS
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?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA18xBINGQvA
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2X06kingB
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAgq9Ks8ohsS
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMaOCQx4MUg
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAfJNdcTcJLB
430Please respect copyright.PENANADV7YfezjSg
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8XKY8Kvh8e
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJ93wCnQlwi
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA87GHKtONm2
430Please respect copyright.PENANAa1JIF9wFYY
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAB72NXpVERr
430Please respect copyright.PENANAAOysXjDL7f
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAu9HhAYv0wA
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZV28ZGvCXi
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAL73a49x8ao
430Please respect copyright.PENANAbGwz7UtuSf
Dove: “After you.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9CtmcRo1EK
430Please respect copyright.PENANANtIoN7MTBa
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQabdiyuk10
430Please respect copyright.PENANAT8rGd0hNZD
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANApXNxFh6fxw
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUV8G4oq1Kj
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAt5vgqcxcE8
430Please respect copyright.PENANAubVnrY4Jmn
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.’
430Please respect copyright.PENANAkA0uHKeXSy
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9HaW525rBZ
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAfMRvxCETQL
430Please respect copyright.PENANA261NPqEozN
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8mRvmmJ6YQ
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGbaWOOOOaa
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAX2gN8aMXKZ
430Please respect copyright.PENANA1qu3E3z0PX
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA50QILJCcra
430Please respect copyright.PENANAKsQw2HiJsf
Dove: “Got it.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGTx3GrG4SV
430Please respect copyright.PENANATdTnZzMHi1
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…
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8K5MXRhSVN
430Please respect copyright.PENANAY0fvCLYe6X
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJFISLBp5oU
430Please respect copyright.PENANAkehawQ0DDH
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsvo2jWOQmF
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOhCB8A4N96
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsXjXy4oWkm
430Please respect copyright.PENANALRDfIZJx5T
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
430Please respect copyright.PENANAP0IamnUVC8
430Please respect copyright.PENANAK6rmqUwhM0
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAA6okdzzxyD
430Please respect copyright.PENANACmy093qNYU
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAENKSUxyp3J
430Please respect copyright.PENANAClHtQpMcov
Dove: “Agreed.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAehjOPwCF8k
430Please respect copyright.PENANAPoKWmarPIv
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANANAfHf8k3tU
430Please respect copyright.PENANAM4GXhYqaRq
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMvTfaxmmqG
430Please respect copyright.PENANAoQsNePQRpZ
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdFLWBikYOh
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tjts6xtf1
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAevT4eTWpW3
430Please respect copyright.PENANAYRYYQk5Ojo
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAb4ZxQKR0Jp
430Please respect copyright.PENANAVEshcgCurx
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANANH7WYdOYph
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnQiD8QZfeg
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8k1t4MkqgK
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhU6wOrMquQ
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA5NfGCEkZcY
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtm4o6BWJcJ
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUm5XEYxvgs
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJXPxRpqwa2
But Tech wasn’t done.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAw05nyIfYoH
Tech: "Time to change things up."430Please respect copyright.PENANA0OtJ63c0Ld
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmuCEAR2xD1
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8AnIvIEUHG
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmuGhgL1gn6
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAuBpObpM63w
430Please respect copyright.PENANAfJdze6rtex
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANATHfLYyGbmn
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnkazNaxMYE
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
430Please respect copyright.PENANAf9erfpwiJo
430Please respect copyright.PENANAxJcVuNBJiv
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA5Aq1bPp63V
430Please respect copyright.PENANArVd0mFsU1M
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
430Please respect copyright.PENANArNSw3ljF1k
430Please respect copyright.PENANABUy51dAo2Z
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA7BYxu4cJEu
430Please respect copyright.PENANAVu0rPQNmkX
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA77dhqTw6vf
430Please respect copyright.PENANAzF0aSVCpRq
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdS3x7tCTlR
430Please respect copyright.PENANAXOVQVHaJLz
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOwjuVqMFBP
430Please respect copyright.PENANA903lj8n1Ec
Tech: "Get over here!"
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtVUHiQ2xtP
430Please respect copyright.PENANAxn16fB0ED0
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAuTQxqwaIqE
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZZRXUdOw1o
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8y4eMZDxr4
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOmosh65eU6
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnR5Pe3Dv9z
430Please respect copyright.PENANApgqfByU7WW
Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
430Please respect copyright.PENANAuaqa7uOy47
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKs01tz6a
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAIcwdFAajzX
430Please respect copyright.PENANAYxlK1s9uz2
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA28ArMevn7C
430Please respect copyright.PENANAc3A2imSZ9i
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.
430Please respect copyright.PENANArkKjA6j73S
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9tDulLrc06
Tech: “Technology: 1, Magic: 0.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAzPJCteNJbL
430Please respect copyright.PENANABnhP93vjrW
Flamma coughed, getting Tech’s attention. He sighed before editing his statement.
430Please respect copyright.PENANACHJXfQ5sbm
430Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ma5RvROb
Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA3T3Dc8WQQ4
430Please respect copyright.PENANAaXAxlZC8Eq
Flamma: “If Guiche could handle it, I’m sure we could destroy more.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhYSHhum5rY
430Please respect copyright.PENANAPspgL2EvPN
Tech: “We should settle this when I make my own small army of golems. Then we’ll see who’s better.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANApaAmyMhNPc
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsbAntyGEva
Flamma: “Looking forward to it.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA6Se7xTv6Sk
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsg2R4LXw5M
With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAjiSGjn0qmt

Flamma: “You know, I’m starting to think this was all a big waste of time.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tell me what you think of the story so far and the implied pairings. I'll see you next time, if there is one. Thanks for reading. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAq6mOenML5f
