Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHpUwoQ0NU
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3410xEOY4
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmyE8BLbhb
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hA3I8H3y7
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjHPiWGbK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFbSF3mPhe
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfPYxVQxlb
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JmoViYNUV
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGhOhxMcIX
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WzunsUnmR
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92rKyohkuF
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8YJQVixru
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXThLCoPDG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj43BVjbOUi
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5W0ERkpgK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNlQFi54lR
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvh2F2vTlU
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthsQ37dJoT
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVEyZLfbYE
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEuNeJYAd3
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbm5qYS0eo
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xkwj9Y1s1
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk89YZaFhBg
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbftAahyJv
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q71s2lW3w
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteSLetrE0W
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XgmBotpNJ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbwk2H8Yfj
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLen7Oc2Wl
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivUsqT6wkF
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsarQ0HQPbL
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAG8PidQVx
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRl0bwbPFl
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgCmNrMsf6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwjtrTLbqk
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaNJ5oyZWd
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1C4H9Wg5A
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSx3zdpCB1

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91UoiCuzDq
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaU95kLWjC
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIM21mEJC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnyOS8Dzc0
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3kulJRUjo

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

Kirche: ‘For now.’

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYoMTlErjn
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFk7DNGKZ4
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRztBbvjBBC
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5KPWiK9Gh
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlao9OLEea6
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppGfUeJ5pv
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm4iF0AvXW
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7FSsEfgl8
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5hbEbHgCq
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxjo8xGyr2
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AYOmmyzoL
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgtb61se71
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQx1KYdyTi
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCKT1WkBcO
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBWrAPX5cT

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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DRzGaEU7f
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTX2B6LTcf
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbW140yKb9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsrqgkidIl
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uXdhrgW0M
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LSr43gF6h
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFkAQifYsg
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZN7xb8QKb
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHwyVsd6mz
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpn3HMQDnr
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmCfHYPBl

Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo364iiKnA

Flamma: ‘Cool.’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t5hTTtbtV

“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”

The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUqa4EZo4z
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uSIWrDMg1
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TDdEAGPs1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lYABFO5Ij
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPd3MAOOm1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw1VQKvo29
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!
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgla9vxiBfB
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX9WDBpHl5
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA29MCDPDw
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lBXjXQUVM
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPrfc0VplB
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0IgjoUxZr
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JLPS5FRWw
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0UV47AKLS
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1hVQDnqES
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO6vWINBRy
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOMvTa1aEe

Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZwa2DIEx

Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGzEzJQPFY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeaqH7dbF0
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIl0xwU6UK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyZpZpr3f6
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAfH85zLKx
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBanLCtnD
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZLCCLprrV
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3o2s84axY
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbzgpIzTKH
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyAqdcYOl5
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRWpOksCEX
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbqEyuLflv
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDyJ9TtVp6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyuqYL51IP
Flamma: “Is that all?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18YocH5mJs
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIxmWjfLu8
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?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsnQhLYFOR
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe89TzNyah
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY4idiGXfY

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUrkhLZS7x

Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f7HcIm9Yz
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMerLNbBjO
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLGN89HUat

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH8dYNtgc4
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMwORe28TI
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJHFbnSCFn

Dove: “After you.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIWJgMLJPf

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMKbsdCrTH
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgnf5HkxOE
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfjUGKMrDl
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHmg9qBMcx
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rK6B8aD0I
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdz3BhjB4T
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.’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO2xZE1KIC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXuChCV5ZP
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMU9XmL3NO
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0INg5yBJ
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ4triswPS
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkOdh1pj6q
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zz09SKHEy
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqthJ5wlrRh
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeGjezch9s
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsPBDZNQlZ
Dove: “Got it.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGTSz7eDx1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtqf2ngZPl
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…
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK1GBUvHWG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdk5fHWd1M
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz410S3rYn
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUDhsJv6WS
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS9CvGgk4D
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABBKZjwr09
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxAWLaxL0o
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mw9exhtY1
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwysnGi6jCo
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ybk87v15
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡippiYGPvnY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJuLNrt46l
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDqZeloWek
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6xt82rVNi
Dove: “Agreed.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68PFqxcgbH

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgmAxC4cRg
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAYcJ6uF3
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8owUwJ6Rok

Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CqQWkLqHi

Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMIBOv3KVn
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhkhdOHpie
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZsBoGQPnC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmwDGfg2Eu
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL7gMFObe1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDAAsaJlGS
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUB4QksBXI
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOazDa2zPz
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NjJakVtU
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0iPjoq0bz
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTY3yjMxXt
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIibvHVHBkc
But Tech wasn’t done.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WJYUzwi7V
Tech: "Time to change things up."210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4vNfMFdxs
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVEuCbteEW
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtajJyTocKY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQg6Nj27bL
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpkBTwKm5q
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZeeMZdw5x
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBABSR7JL6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUCsi4JkC1
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vsilhmNXj
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BEhq2UXpq
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV56tSOAW3

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcehpwYidtd
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EqaOj3qzF
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHkkFEq5fy
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYfvNNIKy
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJp0kHbAcJ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlhD1R8ome
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmrreuTuS6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCD9sy3jh3
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnako3IWXog
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWq0toczxT
Tech: "Get over here!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEAnboq1LP
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmUldvvZf
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkWSzNximP
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJyIgFeLfQ
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FO17YWBIL
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3uo9Gn9hW
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.”

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.

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.
