Through passion, I gain strength

1. [Seeing as there's pretty much no point hiding what she's been doing anymore, and motivated by Astara's visit, Seta has decided to continue her training with those fancy new powers she's got...in the open.

So, on a field just outside Alhambra, you might see her standing and doing nothing, with her hair all poofy. She's also twitching slightly every few seconds.]

I...almost have it...

[Placed about fifty feet away are a small group of dummies that, from the looks of it, are meant to be targets. They are completely untouched, unlike the grass around her, which is burnt to a crisp.]

Just a small correction...

2. [While you're going about your daily business, you are suddenly approached by the Gloster agent.]

Pardon me, but according to a trustworthy person on the phone, I have just won a million credits...

How may I claim my reward?

[Kagura just stays still for a few seconds, processing the sheer gullibility of Seta, which requires rather more RAM than she has]

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

Ah, are you okay? I heard a loud noise, like a thunderclap...

[Izuru comes running.]

Unfair! The world is unfair! I've never even won a single umbrella in my life.

You don't. They claim your money if you act on it.

Oh? Allow me to help you with this. What was their telephone number?

[Hetepheres seems amused by this situation. Surely nothing strange will happen.]

[Drawn by the rather flashy displays earlier Yuuya approaches Seta as she practices. Noting the rather crisp surroundings Yuuya hails Seta from a safe distance before approaching.]

Hello Seta, practicing with your new powers I take it?

Doesn't seem to be going so well for you yet but at least you haven't severely injured yourself, have you?

[Hearing Seta's description of what happened Stella looks at her briefly before sighing and putting a hand on her shoulder.]

Honey, there's no reward instead they're trying to steal from you. It's sad that it happens but not everyone is quite as upright and honest as we are.

Why don't I help you call your bank and get that taken care of so they can't get your money and then we'll see about getting that group of con men found and properly reported. Thankfully the logs on a military base are a bit more accurate than most when it comes to incoming numbers.
