Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFNNl7HnxB
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6RMfflLWc
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlOXP5ia6H
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaCYAjd733
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYIyyHsyRd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3mI857oJk
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyEQ5l25yH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDV62lvrg6
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMEAlN9jJQ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5STW9PLfi
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ESs8xEuVg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe4P5p90t5
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.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6DGE1RHGa
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJW76hTAFn
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXlvRn8gyx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkIAhseYFy
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQUCFQfNX
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZQ80dfDbs
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5btquIcZS
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxCILtjzfq
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdqFwo2PF2
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSFLjXoDet
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YcEJPLr9s
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQc3pZe0iL
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6mROFbmVl
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07wwHtm6CN
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx7uyySf8y
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnPsX4Blva
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG6xmmRtYr
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2uFMJo9Ra
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNto21TsFn
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgasGmdc8z
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQhiV0soBl
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs46OLCBuKW
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2YpjX42V9
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwkTyzvMrN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkdzsCJshu
Kirche: “Oh? I hope didn’t get you in trouble.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3zZtj3NS7

She says with a seductive and sly smile.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlavhPHpd5
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQE24VmZAJ
Zander: “Nothing I can’t handle. But for both our sakes, I would recommend keeping a few feet away.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xQZadLVUV
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sFkIkkNR6
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdXEyqmKbd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxJZwaV204
Kirche: “Very well, I’ll do as you ask.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPISbqQRJM

Kirche: ‘For now.’
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vO5muOWac
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJs5ZQTJNS
With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJvRitnFG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VstFDEPjy
At the same time and same place as yesterday.

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3bj0Q4atK
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDU4rvuFAu
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFjjbbyN0I
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaomNt0uIC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LWTA9AQpJ
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcdVC9SXF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1t491BXpn
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkvoVTx9Oq
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkkdQN4fsk
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGSoPhtfXO
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMtEfwddK
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.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlsVwskh34
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gRzPhUaen
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztXPHn2sLo
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nl4no46d4
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplZXSbZU53
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1hz30G8ew
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6QcEhL4AN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCenUaPk8P
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxOJt4ZGid
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT6SsOjXEC
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd6mpOvfmZ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4X98IegPe
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwj1wvprY3
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB2lpaDnFr
Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgsuignLLH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcOEtjWMxB
Flamma: ‘Cool.’
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmaTWsb4FR

“But they won’t be fighting alone, no sir. Guiche foolishly challenged 3 opponents.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXejMUdH8
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUgJC310Qs
The large doors to Tech’s lab began to open up slowly with shadows holding a silhouette of some figure with large bulky arms.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFmrnPd8qu
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJFIdoosva
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweJZ2uze88
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDD2aX7ESV
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgNlDXIhus
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wrcyuakWM
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!
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZiSPNzbR3
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrM76oduAx
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLDvVLAsxx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NvgkYvIRO
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM38oSJOYj
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykNQUkfNi
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKOYKs07EJ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdIjBXfaiJ
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rA3nVqOfz
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRD9za9jRn
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20ptjR20W
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKCWrHobqR
Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGtrRA9NDL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn88GzWirf
Tech: “You may be the playboy but it seems I’m the one winning with the ladies.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS7QzUTqIH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXRAFywToZ
Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sWNfrMotr
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Jsj3PwIr
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQve5uSd9yL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGqIjsltaB
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvnQmaFxWn
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEkkdijqA7
Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoIeceJcnu
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ml5YDflCM
Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90uDOVq9xx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst6vq2Rb1s
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HD98uyk7H
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkF1ot9UQz
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp3SPwjWyd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeC295j0DH
Flamma: “Is that all?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfTvnkTAEI
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dyev9pEWw
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?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZbusoGDN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4U38BZWG1
Dove: “He does think we’re nothing but commoners.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvXsaQKV1y
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTz6bIDNus
Tech: “I know but…this is just sad. So how should we do this? Slaughter or turn-based?”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTK2y2ly1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1qxOKxh9y
Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhlTbXaJaK
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ137e5TU8uO
Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30UeFw5yv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FwJtkY86
Tech: “Alright, but don’t rough him up too badly. I want a turn.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkwQ2QAqpd

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeasAcbwQP
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRoLeyDqd3
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkdmnlW0oO
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNJ8UNeD0f
Dove: “After you.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRR7rzsZvK

Flamma: “Thanks Dove, I’ll give a good opening act.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb7yjl6bfR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6OxHCnbe1
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgXOW5yBGp
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5aJ2jDDnf
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVr6qzc38S
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7TyK5GZr
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.’
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZU1jqs25d
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwTuO7hl4I
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86g14vtINH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBzKJtmLYK
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhb5pAQT1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPHW7Blit0
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoceMf1WQC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIneaADazQ
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBYdPBXAmR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb06G5Mel2g
Dove: “Got it.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6WMmNcLlj
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe6JVuW2gF
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…
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5zAXHmM3W
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhGVvInfQ6
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQPFv44jiU
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol5z3aZ4zg
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VBQaVEnMR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5icxzro6Cc
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpVx9ArnJq
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aMGu2w47y
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXXt2wHVGc
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnpjW2leU7
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrn41MlmI4
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3KMIT9uXG
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLqMMlDdCG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0xgzhSjg
Dove: “Agreed.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqknS5ROsEf
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zJ9fefec0
Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5EhGJbYNQ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbnjCCVCeE
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WfGUVcyUR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwI4FV2hHB
Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JmpApaMAE
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iuOzJF4ff
Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrF3k8CT53
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEKhCt2l3d
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPNeUXU6DF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOufRLp0Wze
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXME4Ufdao0
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorbbLGrDWN
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQlSm6OLzB
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V2Sk4crTd
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBFXMOUb8e
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ew0vsqbXS
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCQQDbQ7nv
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsOi5Vky5a
But Tech wasn’t done.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEhz5ZJnMv
Tech: "Time to change things up."308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iqNB8iDnm
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs2uwShGIN
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmEHM4NXPv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUj2XkscxR
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAf0GMJDfk
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxltA13tFNN
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbnbVZjy9n
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QRIrSGG8s
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfuF26zIbv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHmDGgJyEc
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NYfQmgnZW

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoXy70xPzs
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSCAqtZj70
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BPXgrpvi5
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaU4EFagu7
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSsfDs8IJj
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmul6xhxm20
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RPG34pXtM
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sZmfoSy4j
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQHpqyMYUR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf06ifahJ3
Tech: "Get over here!"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyp9uEsNvr
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6M3xjLDYp
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG42MlqNnl
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKiVafG3Vk
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazKv3uubkW
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrwSruin4s
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

Tech: "Gad enough? Or do you prefer I show off a little more?"

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

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

With that, the battle was over. Tech began walking back to his lab while the maid duo went to rejoin the crowd.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
