Flamma: “Rise and shine Louise, it’s a new day and the day of the fight.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsSDuZSyWp
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1nkvYtMOM
Louise tossed and turned before getting up and meeting the day. Thoughts of the story Flamma told her yesterday still floating in her mind.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseE01sbI4k
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bs2nBIgUu
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrms4DWNC2f
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbz51jt4Fa
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9HZW9wZxb
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAveYiwHX94
While Flamma helped Louise get dressed, she asked a question.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux83JCnfwI
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s0q4h1l6i
Flamma: “I really want you to see me fight but if you’re not up for it then I’ll be fine.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8nYdvmLkq
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaHFbmRoec
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31zn6JYNa
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijB1TvqHh
Flamma: “She’s in a worse state than you think. But I understand.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAmGJD6Kuc
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeWebLLEV3
Flamma: “What a minute, where’s your wand?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Haj6xPgH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ5DpCSoPm
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o3gExliQe
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkGntXTmKR
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW5X8HyPpA
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6JiH0glm7
Louise: “I don’t need it for now. I might even get a new one soon. Don’t worry about it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGBf3miCT3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH6abqI0um
Flamma: “Well, alright. Let’s get through classes fast so we can get to the fight quicker.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwWi7RLZN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56PjBeqz7q
Louise nodded before opening the door and rejoining school life.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8rqf5XqC0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr327XjZRX
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhDESuYx2i
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByk0OPGaiw
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NwCWpC4NU
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7uKNbroQy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlyVeqfSHt
Kirche: “Hello again, Zander. How was your trip back home?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFwvADYkYh
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6rGBLNWTl
Zander: “Standard for the most. Maintenance, fighting demons and spending time with the priestesses. But they did notice that I smelt like another woman.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuScrRTraeg
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXWIEnKODS
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oxY9kRMvm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOpxlcEdR3
She sighs before doing what Zander asks.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXC6w68zQJ

With that done, all that was left was the fighters. Another fight that will make history is about to begin.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qjvqc0LYw

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQmlSN6mnF
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tbbaIVjE1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclpHXGcpxF
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aGO6kAdz8
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqrXfumDaw
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxEc8wqB2G
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpRkzU350g
Flamma: “Heh, considering the turnout, this better be a good fight.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwWSE1Gd1f
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZHlpQXRnY
Dove: “Sadly, I have a feeling this will be very anti-climatic.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOxQdKzLu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXCeZIIfqD
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeOhN7c55

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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pyKLgleEJ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSn0AsyAZs
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this fight, I am Nav, your AI speaker for this slaughter!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGemYRaXc
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsst9i7oZSY
Another small ball, painted in yellow and black floated over to Guiche and announced a message(with his face plastered on the screens).
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYylDQdD8iN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhHBTiXSLy
“In this corner, is the Challenger- Guiche the Bronze! Say hi to the fans bub.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6LOyKNh40
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfdoLN6xLc
Guiche wasn’t sure what to do but went ahead and did a quick wave and hello. It then switched to Dove and Flamma.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtMzF3g0zG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhjKqHeZAo
“And in this corner, we have the maids Dove and Flamma! Careful, they are more than what they seem.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQWJE7K5c9

Dove: ‘Yeah, that doesn’t raise eyebrows Tech.’
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFU6fexsXE

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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaf2Asb828
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUFpttpb6M
“The center of this deadly trio, lady and gentlemen, welcome to the field the long-time Genius- Tech!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbkZ1nnQ7t
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0KOFq4ukb
It was then that Tech stepped out of his lab with his new Exo-Ware named Brute Fist.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlOfTW5Axz
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0szeAB3pvh
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!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99QklRrICE
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R7DgXV5DV
He took a few heavy steps forward and banged his large fists together, generating sparks.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XOYHM4LF0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNHkzng1yt
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF5g4Fyx5q
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfz9jiyQpB
Tech: “So…what do you think? I made this especially for you. Like it?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVZMHVZCut
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMnvFSajgT
Guiche: “Like it? It’s completely gaudy! You have no sense when it comes to beauty or elegance do you?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcnQD5zXq3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeabID1DIhj
Flamma: “Well I for one, like it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpl7o3gzrK

Dove: “It’s a very…inspired design.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPhzrvrd5q

Flamma: “Don’t push it Tech.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCez24ZDqy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJDAoww53l
Guiche glared at the trio and held out his Rose wand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr9Pd90T73
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B6Yr9Cyjw
Tech: ‘Really? This guy is a complete dork!’
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnZaNfXOem

Guiche: “Enough! Are we going to talk all day or are we going to fight?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChuvfUemY8

Tech: “No, please by all means. Go ahead.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuhlXMn02v
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfBoqNAZeL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZM9lDvnmw
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqfSgGqfzs
Guiche swung his wand, petals touching the ground bringing forth 3 of his female Valkyrie golems.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKBe6Xb3xL

Flamma: “Is that all?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7GbqqXmM2
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltiAB6iIgs
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vac9id76G

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ijOiD8G22

Dove: “I think it would be more impactful if we started things off.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ULahoHjv

Flamma: “Yeah, I’m dying to give playboy a very rude awakening.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrstUokLIP

Guiche: “Don’t mock me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezXnY25J5x
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4YRkTC6vq
Guiche commands his summons to attack the two maids.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH3YjXaofW

Dove: “After you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn04RUMG3tE

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9R8ga74ni
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg6189z5nP
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zylR9iNkd
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxrI9Fn14a
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu08T5Dk1f
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfo6SXtCl6
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.’
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lEnZPp0HQ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKGAvCcMoi
Everyone who was not in the know, gaped at her. A mere commoner, sliced three golems summoned by a noble with just one hand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lDhGqcTWG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8fELQfHBn
Guiche: “No! This shall not stand!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp1NiMxMEh
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzNHjvV7Be
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkg9i8mlrW
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRsbh5oLCv
Flamma: “Six? Perfect, Dove you take one half.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5zTOKcUOx
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0eUceAm44
Dove: “Got it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSXChmofvd
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6VdyEHDCI
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…
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfQhGkdbvX
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4E4tbJLg
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQCe39bmY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr0MhYKQxU
Everyone stared back, dumbstruck at Flamma. Guiche was nearly pissing himself in unadulterated terror.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfvyHPCcsc
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZZfjSpj33
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFTd1uJ3UY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFWjPhiy9U
Dove: ‘What? She can partially transform? Wish I could do that with Dragon Aspect. Actual limbs instead of just ethereal armor.’
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEx1K0ou6Z
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcrhIiH6gS
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwv2E65MvP
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKpDsfMmA
Flamma: “That was fucking pathetic.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vswlioiox

Dove: “Agreed.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeQJMOhAQq

Tech: “Hey! Don’t take them all out. I want to test this thing.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopa5g6sLk8
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjAibANTSh
Flamma: “Fine, I’m bored anyway.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0zhe9rpST

Dove: “Your turn Tech.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchYYsvG8WV

Tech: “Great, time to show this world what science can do.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbwePsuer9
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKVMF2kP1o
At this point, this wasn’t much of a battle. But it got even worse when Tech entered the ring.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwaCdr1gm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uizbYNeAd
Tech: “Come Guiche, I know you can do better than that. Set up some more golems for me.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94HY831CME
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzb5XSEPAv
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3wXNeCxfS
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqAbCTuT0o
Guiche: “This isn’t over. Once I’m done with you, I’ll-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rDkglRKv5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqxCeSv8QY
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab1K3DBl2E
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCEyv6Olc
But Tech wasn’t done.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkpDqR3YZT
Tech: "Time to change things up."407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqIrXu4KV8
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHe4fkkzXr
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvQil0TR4J
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4UdT0MZkj
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPcRvfCsR9
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS7yHQnDBi
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2HqcTmXJG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ966W9ljLC4
Tech: "I am a Mad Genius!"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly29fZ5h4l
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgST4ThvBa
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvbx4njtS0

Tech: "Activate…Kinetic Cannons"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Uq21uZsm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU6DAC5oR1
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCpTnp2FUA
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH5zc7dtAX
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxtdtJNlbB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27hJYFRjj7
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ACjbPDPdJ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQbqvYsOV
He then smiled under his face plate while bringing back his right arm and calmly saying-
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5domT3iZM
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEFcdmpKMd
Tech: "Get over here!"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV1MhKr5ao
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MJ6KnO2k
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV6EQNbdzY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrlsKvOCTn
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLdiDhiNe
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z76wqm8Be
Once he was right in front of him, he cracked his knuckles.

Guiche: “I-I-I y-ye-yeild.”

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.”

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. 407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQhNc8y83I
