Holly watched carefully, fascinated by the weapon's mechanics. It seemed primitive at first, having to refill its ammunition periodically (she was used to seeing mamono cast magic over and over again without pause, mostly in practice), but as the process seemed easier than she had expected, her impression of the handgun was soon changed. Once Chris had finished stepping through the reloading process and returned to his station, Holly picked up her weapon again...but before firing it, she ejected the cartridge and determined how many bullets were contained therein. Memorizing this number, she re-inserted the magazine and prepared to try her exercise again...

Once the signal sounded off to commence the exercise, Holly took aim and fired her weapon at the target. She took her time to correct her aim after each shot, although the kickback gradually began to affect her accuracy, inexperienced in its feeling as she was. By the time she was out of ammunition this time, however, her grouping had clearly converged, scoring several hits on her target. Only two could have counted as kill shots, but she was definitely improving. Remembering her superior's final instruction, she pressed the red button in her booth to signal that she was finished...
