Season 50, Week 2
Jessica Philomele
(Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis)
 
Jessica Philomele. Simple girl, simple needs. Spreading wings to take to the skies of freedom over the neverending wasteland? Romantic nonsense, really - doesn't mean anything in the end. Nope, Jess just wants to blow things up. The elegance of the blast, the various forms and functions explosives can take, the simple pleasure of knowing you made something that can explode... Virginia doesn't really present a terribly interesting target, a frail, possibly sickly girl wearing little more than a sunday dress to protect her. With Healing Echo to ward off Virginia's pea shooter assault until Jess can decide on the best explosive for this job, today's detonation is sure to go off without a hitch whether Virginia knows it or not.

Virginia is somewhat insulted. Her first match as a Middle, and it's against a high school student, ever-indulging in the pursuit of further intelligence and wisdom? These are the kind of kids that Virginia is fighting to save! But she can't allow her wings to be fettered, she must soar to the top of the Middle playing field and earn the respect a true a champion deserves! Not to worry, Virginia's aim with her pistols is good enough to perform surgery, so surely she won't hurt her frail schoolgirl opponent too badly! Jessica may be quite good at healing, but it won't mean much when Virginia charges in, safety released, and Gatlings 6 bullets through her (non-vital, but still crippling enough to cost the poor girl the match with ease) spots.

"And in today's final science fair entry, we have Jessica Philomene and Virginia Maxwell's entry!" the announcer bellowed. The two beamed at each other, before unveiling...

what looked like a rather large handgun. "Uh..."

"The Wingplosion mk. III!" Jessica proclaimed with a flourish. Virginia coughed. "Capable of firing any style of bullets, including alchemical ones. Fire, lightning, ice, stun..."

"We're hoping to allow gunners who train in other areas to achieve techniques such as those that Lagaardian Gunners use without training!" Jessica chirped.

"And what about the match?"

"Wingplosion mk. I blew up in her face first so I won." Jessica replied instantly, as Virginia flushed. "You pointed it at me!"
