"i'm not using my suits back home, so i appreciate the advice sensei, but none of these are my 'baby' so to speak or can hold a candle to the familiarity with that suit." Jess said, taking back her damaged suit, picking out the dart and the rapier. "Would have been great to see the rest of the match though. As with several prior tournament matches, headless suits can fight on." Said Jess, giving a brief bow before returning to her seat.

"I guess that means that I'm up next." Justin said to no one in particular as he got up out of his seat and picked up the now-completed BuCUE Heavyarms, then headed for the stage, "I'd better do my best." As soon as he arrived, he set the modified BuCUE down as well as his GP base. "I'm ready when you are, Sensei." he said.

"Alright then. Lemme know if I can help!" Kanoko grinned before turning to watch Sakuya's fight with Jess.

It was a storm of blows, and far quicker than the sniping match that she had with Cassandra. Her eyes could barely keep up from her position at the model benches, and she gulped audibly as she traced as much of the Neo Rose's movements as possible, the bits keeping Jess' unit busy for the time being while the rapier lashed out at the Overgraze's vulnerable parts.

The final blows were struck within moments, and while the Overgraze had collapsed one of the Neo Rose's arms, the dart had sealed the grunt suit's fate, causing it to collapse in defeat as the plavsky particles dispersed.

Kanoko was getting very nervous now. The test against the AI was one thing, but against an instructor like Sakuya? From what she knew of the past, she might be in well over her head...

Turning to Justin as he lined up at the end of the table with his GP base and BuCue, she waved. "Good luck! See if you can't scratch her a bit more!"

Cassandra finished her list and went to go take up Kanoko on her offer for help, when she saw Jess walking away from the battle system. "it's over already?" she asked, surprised, figuring the fight would not have ended in the time it took for her to form her list of parts for repairs.

"Anyway, got my list, since she's done, wanna see of Jess wants in on this 'repair party'?"

"very well are you ready" Sakuya asked the next student as she stepped forward "I feel it is only right I continue the trend and use a new gunpla as I have with the others." She said showing a customized gaia gundam though by looking you can tell it was designe for close quarters combat before placing it upon the stage. Same rules as last time as she activated the stage a single large castle throne room appeared clearly large enough for movement but not enough where one would be able to bombard someone from far away.

"So close-range versus long-range." Justin thought as he slid the earbuds of his MP3 player into his ears and started up the music, "And the battlefield's not big enough that I could try to use artillery tactics like I can in the Xamel. Let's hope the BuCUE Heavyarms is up to the task." Almost immediately, Justin opened fire with the modified BuCUE's twin railguns, rapid-fire beam cannons, and 120mm cannons, trying to either land a hit or force his opponent into a defensive state. "If I can force this fight into one where I can let loose with everything, I may stand a chance of landing a hit." he thought as he kept the thunderous barrage going, "I can only try to anticipate what the next move is gonna be."
