Heart-Shaped Static on the Battlefield

Mikoto

That last blast was sloppy. I should've pierced its core on the first shot.

Mahoro

Your railgun's trajectory deviated by 0.7 degrees. The robot exploited your hesitation.

Mikoto

Hesitation? I was calculating the optimal angle to avoid collateral damage!

Mahoro

Calculating or overthinking? There's a difference, Electromaster.

Mahoro

Show me that 'optimal angle' then. No simulations this time—just us.

Mikoto

Careful, maid-bot. I don't hold back against real opponents.

Mahoro

Your heart rate just spiked 23%. Are you... nervous?

Mikoto

I-It's just static electricity! From the training! Shut up!

Mahoro

There. Now you've left your mark on the battlefield... though it's rather sentimental for a Level 5.

Mikoto

That never happened. We're erasing this from the training logs. All of it.
