Engineering a victory over a weakling Fire Emblem assassin wasn't the toughest of tasks for a genius like Lexis. Gearing up to fight a fellow master of defensive skills should be a much tougher task, though. It might even put both his wide range of skills and his brilliant mind to the test. While Alma shuts down his 100% effective status attacks with her ribbon, that headgear also drastically lowers her overall durability, something she can't afford. With cheap IPs to boost Lexis's speed and near-limitless resources to keep him fully healed, he can withstand the barrage of Alma's ever-quickening attacks. While Alma may be tough, she also has limited MP, and blitzing someone as skilled at staying alive as Lexis is far from an easy task.

With her recent victory over the Zexen Knight Leo, Alma has finally proven that she deserves to be where she is - and perhaps even aspire to greater things! She is poised to take down the scientific mastermind Lexis in what should be a fantastic showing for the young virgin heroine. With her host of holy magics, including the awe-inspiring MBarrier, Alma can easily weather the fierciest magical storms Lexis can conjure up. Despite Lexis's plentiful healing, Alma's surprisingly powerful staff thwacks will keep her ahead of the game, preventing Lexis from ever capitalizing on his powerful yet fickle IP abilities. It might take a while, but Alma has the power of God on her side - her Faith will be the deciding factor in this magical onslought.

"This still doesn't seem like it will work, oh dark one"
Lexis sighed as he stared at the robed figure in front of him. Earlier in the week, he had received an anonymous letter informing him that an unknown fan of his research wanted to help him win this battle. Knowing he himself stood little chance of winning (and he always liked to meet fans of his research), he immediately took this unknown person up on their offer of support.
Now, he wasn't so sure. Yes, he had been given a plan that seemed foolproof, but...still, a very perturbed though lingered in his mind.
"You say you yourself are a scientist?"
"I do" the robed figure said, the voice vaguely feminine. "I think your research is fascinating and these religious fanatics who denounce technology need to suffer. Science forever!"
"While I fully agree, oh robed one, the fact remains that this plan isn't...one I'd consider to be very...prudent, I think is the word"
"Don't be such a prude. lolomgpunnnnzorz!!!"
Lexis stared at the robed figure for what felt like an eternity. Sighing, and in need of a heavy dose of Xanax, he proceeded back to his residence to prepare for the battle the next day.

The cleric Alma stood, eyeing her adoring brother in the stands. "Oh yes," she thought, "there'll be some fun tonight once this is over. Oh yes". She gave her brother a wink, and focused on her opponent, Lexis, as he readied himself. Charging her MBarrier spell, the cleric stared down at her foe, thinking of all the fun times she'd have tonight...
...then something happened
No, not that.
No, not that either.
Lexis took off his lab jacket, revealing...a birthday suit. One in extreme need of the Fab Five.
Swinging his wrench in the air, twirling it around his head, Lexis called out, "Like what you see, theological wench?! Come and take me now!"
Alma cringed...her virgin eyes forever scarred by the hideous sight. Frightened, she ran - ran as far away as she could get.
Lexis smiled smugly, happy the plan had worked...
...or was he truly happy? He was mostly happy for the quick anesthesia provided by Will Raynard smashing him over the head with his sledgehammer. It prevented him from feeling the rest of the pain the remainder of the RPGDL, ranked and unranked, proceeded to inflict upon him.
Up in the stands, Shion Uzuki smiled, clutching her camera. "Oooohhhhhh yes! Soon, I'll have completed my sexy scientist calendar! And then all my lonely nights will be unlonely!"
"You idiot, you put him up to this!?" Tatjana screamed. "And unlonely isn't a word, idiot!"
"So?" Shion responded. "What are you going to do about it?"
"Wait and see"
-----
In the end, Lexis got a wonderful stay at Hell's Pass Hospital, cared for by several hundred Nurse Joys. Unfortunately, the RPGDL Committee decided that, for scaring a multitude of people, as well as causing the worst case of mass emesis since the vomitoriums, Lexis would be disqualified. Furthermore, it was decreed that all men over the age of 40 caught naked in public would be fined and severely beaten.
Meanwhile, Tatjana and the RPG Scientist Council ejected Shion from their ranks for "irreparable harm to the proud and respected dignity of the noble RPG scientists".
Alma is currently at St. Jude's Mental Hospital, citing something about "seeping" in her sleep.
Lexis Shaia: 26
Alma Beoulve: 59

In retrospect, master planner Ramza Beoulve could pinpoint exactly why his sister lost. In a fit of nostalgia, Alma had insisted that the arena be the Lost Graveyard of Airships. Considering Lexis is quite capable of making an airship be very non graveyard worthy, one can just imagine how things went sour for Alma. The kicker? She had to do a five dungeon fetch quest just to set up her own demise!
