As far as facing down Demons or angry ladies goes, I'm sure Roland would prefer the cannibalistic monsters anyday. But you can't help who you fight in a duel, so he'll just have to deal with it. Roland's not going to have much to fear from Paine, offensively, since he can fully heal quite cheaply and easly. And Ziodyne, among other things, will do quite a number on Paine's HP. And since really all Paine has is Assault and some other Dark Knight things, Roland should do quite nicely. A few Ziodynes here, a few Diarama's there, Roland should have this all wrapped up nice and quick. Which, of course, is probably the best way to handle issues with girls in the first place.
