Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5L9m76Wjc
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D826LHTlF
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKBInUQiCe
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCriJ1zoB7
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXnYCcegnL
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LmK03fNXK
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8TDHuj7X2
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthDUaXrwuO
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8XUbyznGC
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSHrYDwzTp
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlsxnjosYW
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJuGI43UEv
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.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SZqQXJJT
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tJw8DEX6
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQChRHexK7o
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2cz0DyJPu
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTbsJJ0f2p
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCxwFVTJp7
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcCtU3q4n6
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GgSYi2R1s
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLF3mHxOG
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPpzm0EOQ1
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLhlKWmnjq
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoR3wKdekT
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudR08oosss
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin8vNs171D
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk5rSgk11I
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LPvpascW
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnznBHYT27
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1f9YQTLEV
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanC3DbfRXM
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkt194nxya
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBxzqU9b82
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk7pfd3KGQ
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxiOD0c80
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kuh1Y7rwi
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAW3l10MHG
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ3QNbYMxH
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W3JlQUBy5
She says with a seductive and sly smile.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0bOrwxWg
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLuVAB2TlS
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWiHmTzvOm
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO5xFmw0YZ
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUOjR1HzwL
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJwUrck584
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqmq4uWWHB

Kirche: ‘For now.’
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP5LVrrY3W
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRUEQLJe6x
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydTsw7Jyax
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLX6IVxrvT
At the same time and same place as yesterday.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmiDUrP3UT
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcoLKY5tPx
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQz1Vt8qW5
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRb7PqmR4
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vwkXlcbLH
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryBgbbBzZf
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUSLcaTLtt
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQx0K01qpM
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMuzXidZk
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan2CL86lkU
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZjvS02iY
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fGqAjG4Qs
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.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBOw0c64Um
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m8ooAMhKn
Guiche: “My Runic title is Guiche the Bronze. And this is-”

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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4qSHMThZe
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3HO8oQRKE
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwJhT4MXI0
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDPb4Zy8Kl
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1iSxod5Mb
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a98Hld3BP
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjGTJMHpAC
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JKwN5qKN7
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifyygvEIn
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrfBzz5899
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPqLmRwP6k
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUBzpxi2QF
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PZqnhZRGI
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQDKgu1BRP
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ9XoZf1RM
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVMyNtPYCn
“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxShUq1AmfX
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv8MVLRBYT
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGb1mvpTgC
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrSaFnG9Uw
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkVb9p1kje
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opTFx6K25
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ8VKqZNbZ
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRhLsCqZ54
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!
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XuhPiwnwx
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdREC62gZSz
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVI293YDQa
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZvMMJSDLl
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQ3Od7I8O
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIstcNdtHd
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ797qONZ9ch
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8vtk6xQz
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvTwpOZmKb
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjalnkC78pU
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2RlvqVfr3
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHkhjW46Fq
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDaf1CyOFL
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJSLx3faS9
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbpfhtIZec
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EJ6wLE0FH
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8QkxAfl3Z
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJm5P3QJu
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sLMozxL6X
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLa0LueX21
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeaaE44LgV
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6SeQ1NyeW
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqiCwpDwEc
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMWch5QxBU
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxPVZ4OYI
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYyLGlDP78
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl9RiaWJUh
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbxvCVUfWq
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz7JydRcyO
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZZlhrYsJL
Flamma: “Is that all?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvFo4QqKF1
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQeE6SigcZ
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?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeSNmcxHkd
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0t1zbAhcx
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5KJuzUfry
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlKgQYcGPr
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QaAmk4aTe
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRug7sxa9rh
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBRY63tEz
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR9FZhInpI
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWKjhVLYg
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7qkzfOQGi
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMfzAjii1l
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8vPjqlb0
Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfd4Red4it
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Udrxe5vbE
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6NfKihXvs
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrQKnjkmOP
Dove: “After you.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCGN2IMNXG
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL35nl05MkS
Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlka5eRYJZ3
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat66mdCHYe
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAEltxIBSW
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i1kGZcPza
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuE3QZGXfq
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcAVjQiz4g
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.’
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9YgQpy6qX
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVC4opwHMN
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcMRSuVCRr
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBV8c9aQqR
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jL6a4RWEw
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW7MAznI7S
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwACmgXqVK
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn1Mhuno9F
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmgmQF8fyU
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuci3PjnQr7
Dove: “Got it.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXUUHyVo3p
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktGrLYdNe4
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…
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqXitjqGWz
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvSuSUCPOl
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpPIXQsGS
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhVA8DhLPK
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZIB09uRbi
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInye5zMMKJ
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68IntLm4jG
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w7Ybc74mi
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbshFDiFKk6
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEnZv1kbYz
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48niPBzDPC
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfHCk9x2wm
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFCDfOHz1s
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpCZhSw3ef
Dove: “Agreed.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkpnu9Wonk
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xD0UGuaY6
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd6MfqVrM9
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qqmDUsBnj
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3uyJ5TDLF
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF8moAdUo7
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrMsy8XZiW
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgGeUoIUL
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyedIHfsj0l
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zAhNwtlju
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagzlHOKWlz
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40XimcYf7y
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaR1Bw6Ymq
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhwLjfoHb
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPTyQMumxY
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMJcwhV9kH
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJHyF4icj4
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7PWU7IPOX
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRlffFIxeP
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hqPNV4pHN
But Tech wasn’t done.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8y37T1UfC
Tech: "Time to change things up."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvRs6Nw7z4
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpesMaEVCsg
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nLBupgM0j
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiksBYndyG8
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3DeRFAF06
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8jMevsckc
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wyoxsMZg4
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIXjmkzRmj
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX08qGHyzo
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCrQ3QQ9PN
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TuiEtQJz
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFQgOJjf3T
Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXDZwO1BeN
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46iVCDBXSw
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy2FPMehRF
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe7qtyAB9C
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mMGKgojtU
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TjgbzlVvK
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5TNgu3kq0
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIqdu6Toe8
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaupMIurGdp
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZaBAlnT0t
Tech: "Get over here!"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85jjovSBw
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsZigfjHeP
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5uRdYnomM
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudLra2ee5w
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0V3AB34OF
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MiXNUWlHC
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrxPag9MLU

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkoYfjV0x2
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJfFR322Zt
He says while grinning like mad under the face plate.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbZzw0lGvC
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QmuFs8dTU
Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ6OZaHgpI
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0hOKAioOA
With that Guiche passed out from exhaustion and simulation.

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

Tech: “Fine, a draw then. Or maybe a half-point for magic. You can’t deny I destroyed more Golems.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBQdE5gWJz

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

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.

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. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedof95rBmU
