>Nod. "For starters, let's see how much Danmaku you can put out at once without a Spellcard. That should be a good way of judging how difficult a fight you might be for most folks."
>We can use Cirno as a Comparison, since we've seen her in action plenty of times.

> Rika looks worried, almost embarrassed.

> "Y-You know how bad I am at that stuff." she says.

>Grin. "Ah, but that was in the RikaRobos, you've got a whole new body that's a much better fit now. Plus, you couldn't really shoot a laser before now, yeah? I'd say that's a sign that you're better at it now than you think. Besides, I just got another mid-season powerup, you're gonna have to use Danmaku a lot more if you're gonna keep up, 'Rival'."
>Did we ever show off our new Powered Mode? Y'know, the wings and armor.

> Rika looks frustrated, then focuses.

> She launches a bubble danmaku, followed by two more spread out at slightly different angles than the first, forming a sort of triangle moving. Even a nameless fairy could do better than that. Compareing it to Wriggle would be difficult, let alone Cirno.

> "I can't do this stuff! I'm a normal human, with almost no magic!" Rika says, frustrated.

> No, you have not.

> "I'm just this bad usually. It's the same as in those other bodies." Rika says.

> When you think of power through practice, you instantly think of Marisa.

> You presume most who were not particularly naturally gifted got their powers and danmaku skill with practice. While the spellcard system is new, danmaku itself is ancient.

>Shrug. "Marisa wasn't always as strong as she is now. She got that way with practice. Everyone who wasn't naturally gifted with it had to practice. You're not likely to be an exception to that."
>Grin. "And you've got someone to practice with right here. And there's other folks too, Danmaku's how a lot of stuff's resolved. And here's something interesting, everyone who could've destroyed Gensokyo that I beat ended up becoming a friend or ally. Shinki? She's practically my adopted mom now. You? Well, I don't need to explain that, since you know just as well as I do. And Yumemi? Well, she's just here I guess, the jury's still out on her. She seems pretty okay now though."
>Fistpalm. "I bet if practice doesn't help, she can figure out a way for you to get it right! She's brainy like you after all, and she knows tech. odds are pretty likely that something can be figured out between the two of ya."

>Sigh amusedly. "She doesn't just use that Hakkero though, she's gotten good at Danmaku even without it. Besides, Yumemi didn't have any magic, so she used her own life-energy to do it. I'd say that's quite a bit different from your situation. Plus, she's the one who cooked up that magic-absorber, so she might be able to refine whatever you use as an energy core, or whatever it's called. I'm no tech-head like you are, I just know she'd probably be able to help you refine on the original."

> "Marisa's also insane." Rika says. "Even I have to call her insane."

> "I still don't want to get advice from her. Being paid in tech for helping her out is fine. Going to her for advice myself? That's not." Rika protests.

[Belive it or not, I actually know little about DBZ. I'm not into watching burly guys scream for 5 mins without actually doing anything. I lost interest when they were still on Namek. Which will explode in 5 mins. 10 or so eps ago.]

> You note you should inform people that Rika isn't crazy. Although she still technically is. That said, people also know you're not stupid.

> Your armor and wings disintegrate, and the sword vanishes. Usually you change into your child form by fully suppressing your power too, so all the humans don't feel something up and run for the hills, but doing that would make you unable to drag Rika around, so you guess you'll just have to settle for keeping most of your power suppressed.
