Kartal saw YingJue making her preparations at the lounge. "Morning!" He greeted her. "I see you checked the battle for today." He said as he found the Guul. "I got my Mavi Zeta for this. I was hoping for a chance to bring this." He later found Hedy in the lounge. "Hey Hedy! Prepared as well?"

Lindemann noticed the French champion. "I guess that can help." She nodded. "I still need to coffee though." She looked at the champion. "So what brought you to help me out here?" She hoped that she isn't a weird fan like how the Schwartz Bruder cosplayer was.

"Hi there Kartal. Yep, I've got my gunpla for this round." She had her Hambrabi prepared in its flight mode as an inferior piece compared to her traditional gunpla. "What can I say? Anything where I can't use the TC is going to be a bit of a challenge. But it should be fun to fly around at least." Hedy took a brief look out to the crowd and found herself excited to see the chance of battling in front of the world again. She thought she saw someone who stuck out to her among the crowd but lost sight of him before she could have a closer look.

Genevieve answered as kindly as possible when she told the German Champion, "Nothing much. I've just been hoping for a fair match is all. I'm kind of worried that you might not be able to do all that well if you're still groggy out there. " Genevieve let her arms down when she recognized her own situation telling herself, "Then again I know I haven't been much of a challenge recently. I should probably be more worried about myself than anything." She was fortunate to have her Rose gunpla with the wings of the Endless Waltz Wing Zero. "I think I should be able to do kind of decent this time around though.

"Hi Kartal, hi Hedy," YingJue greeted them. "Instead of having multiple suits, the Chinese scene has the unfortunate tendency of focusing on one suit, practicing extensively with it to build mastery, and relying on it completely. Though it makes us very mechanically strong, we lose out in tactical specialization and diversity, a weakness I hope to overcome before we get into the later stages of the tournament. For example, I'll be relying on this Guul to help my Mythos fly." YingJue added. Though the Mythos could fly, she wasn't technically lying because saying the Guul could help the Mythos fly wasn't saying that the Mythos couldn't, only implying that it couldn't.

Kartal was intrigued by the Chinese Gunpla scene. It was similar to what he heard from Eastern Europe, where fighters focused on one model. Turkey basically followed rest of Europe with the balancing. "That is interesting." He commented. "I find some interesting variations in Europe as well. Actually, this tournament is a perfect opportunity to learn what type of tactics or Gunpla countries tend to prefer, like how I found the previous German champion usually having a reliance on large Mobile Armour." The list of battles appeared in the large monitor placed in the middle of the room. It looked like he's in the second-half slot, fighting the Japanese 2nd Block Champion. "He's that Naval officer type right?" He asked. "He does remind me of Domon somehow."

The German champion could sense that her French counterpart is fortunately not a rabid fan like how yesterday went. "I think you'll do well." She assured in return. "I'm looking forward to your battle." The monitor displayed her coming match with Spain. "Look like you have a match prepared." She pointed at the board to let the Fren Champion know who she'll be fighting.

Gordon just saw the time he will be sparring, his opponent isn't important enough for him to remember. He just chuckled to how to win this time.

The way of Chinese handling of gunpla was expectedly foreign to what most countries used. "That's a pretty unique strategy. There's risk but it does at least it prepares someone for specialization." The supposed requirement for her Mythos to achieve flight seemed something a bit extreme but Hedy only shrugged the idea when she decided the Guul parts would just be enough to assist in the gunplas flight abilities.
When Kartla's match had come up Hedy encouraged her friend, "That is him. He has shown some characteristics hasn't he? If he fights like him, then just make sure that you don't hold back."

Genevieve saw the match announcement the German Champion was pointing to when she realized, "Ah yes. It looks like that time. Let's see if I can pull this off!" She waved behind to her and what fans watched her when she was prepared for the duel with her gunpla in hand and prepared to face her opponent.
