Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQyYbzEdR
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCxhOilRJE
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuCs9NXTac
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9QesFZpw
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtowWZ0018C
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2oJ0AMW9w
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7kUD2DciB
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXhTA7gdbx
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7nszBfL74
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWljjsVshcb
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hHVjxbDrH
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DCFFr0u89
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.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNoNtK9lIY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN7LFVL40t
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9L0nTN5mM
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNogJvYYSe4
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzz1kn6tTR
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrCD3fLs1O
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgLp4Ow5UO
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xFdI5xlEj
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiEsDn63cc
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpPvmjJ8vL
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlK3HLonr1
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcTOZiWySR
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOveyYxpQ9Q
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4155cVzM
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqK5v4VVAd
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxr9PSRWHN
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef8aDAeqFe
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCCt94X1ft
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N9x6H3wx1
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudY3V8LcOY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiLarSyiA9
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63JV3Vh9wl
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9mbsfU0f9
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumSyVGUUm4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFrXAkuoTF
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”

Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0zWOnG9g9
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpBqKTSLfH
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd15wUktPYC

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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmVxJQzHf4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV7bQBQQxJ
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47bnVTPVDb
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx1cpAPJl1
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqNprItvqg
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8MMefUDIx
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZZCc5PRCg
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaApfPxIyP
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiwN4O9uLf
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21JsIHWkbj
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.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bkPT98FiL
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYScl56Gg8

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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA59Zn68c2
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vw6t1XYFr
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRK6pWAGDS
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwuX4vvBnb
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LOD2sCTbd
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb21j6ksjG
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi0VenMtiV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAc0f02jMd
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxASsGZRZul
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJh16v1roE
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h8Nj8EjqO

Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM7nYytQbo

Flamma: ‘Cool.’

The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfExDwfMGc
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCth1XPJQ88
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Bnv5kXNW
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELqCedIaa1
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvtgHPQu4P
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQsDFdXyx
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!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87YTPgg3hY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN3D5w2OaU
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKgHpw9KZU
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9kEz3SxSm
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QkKj9lXz
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpo0bdu0fR
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCOU3IdARV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrUo3XvIU6
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrwUhhlURs
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsAyvnbbgj
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”

Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsicRygdzir
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJYfexmh5K
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhjksz19d

Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eB8MNY4mB

Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqfcpqY70Y

Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAcMJi36gL
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZHx9FDFof
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLzwencU4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0pmq2NMrX
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO9YJvIdET
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6KqVcF9gJ
Flamma: “Is that all?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHLYFwS3YA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub03VbUwmK
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?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB167WCjez9

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPAvcS4lLS
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK3ghvW7dn
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwZJOhiCzY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQGyLq6Ed
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5kFVYY5Ih

Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzDx3Cijp
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWuR5XrvNU
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINcNsgwsUq
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTMGLVImYw
Dove: “After you.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqvtCgxmQu

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U6GDS3k1w
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgdM8HQzvZ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyZuhbWPMp
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jvblV6aCo
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj9GL6KxlX
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.’
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWHWXF9ih
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkt8oS0ncE
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvbvsQx8lX
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOcUzHnHS1
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1TQWR1hie
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hb3pCVuxQ
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLyxeIWGO4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DKEWkUYdS
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuitkcyuDUf
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5jgiOyB3
Dove: “Got it.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG43gwYApK
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dE5tJPx3U
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…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2u13bNlFc
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCKug7HYj
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdyTMDCDPX
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhms1USTZ9k
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdhUgRAJnX
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEqNb2J1IV
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gYUcymBfA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp67eLCNT3
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjV0eelfMx
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoomcTShsu
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBQ20aQFXw
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJr3OdV996
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW32CeeSMfA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPPKGhXBuh
Dove: “Agreed.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTwIibQx07

Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDm3ScCsZN
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkAc29P6v5
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhOHj1mjRN

Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVE3I8OTMd

Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DrfWY0Bsj
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK0aPIT3vV
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAodoY3huT0
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRkNZqVmL
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qxItxmK7J
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYhgAQp22b
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrbU1AmxhV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNnwnAOTJh
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6e1TYIetp
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBfSDYlFHV
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25305NPI75
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37AvIoLHm7
But Tech wasn’t done.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ThPGvSbXT
Tech: "Time to change things up."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJNMjlI834
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSVn7t92DZ
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8eNjvhmUQ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZU8H6OB1L
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfNAGQzdlK
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN96cRmqoK
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R5Y1dHPTC
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYygjVBkpt
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROQHIfHpsz
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThL5Oy8arE
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ZUZ0aDzb

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtRYRWPUB4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf3fNoyzL0
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm8YET7hkK
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi5jnsupYl
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqLMT2E3Yu
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bOJROovku
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04eUwcjzbp
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27BDcEGjjZ
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe94oUKJB0
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zcaXqEPBl
Tech: "Get over here!"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCcy3btF23
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9iBhtj22b
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRdvPLij8M
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GNEuvsMiS
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gdB51rujL
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcVI50HrU0
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.”

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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXoSbKDgCt
