The pilot matching process did not last a long time. Once all 94 competition mechs received their respective pilots, a short break ensued in order to prepare for the next phase of the tournament.
This gave the mech pilots at least half an hour of time to familiarize themselves with the machines that had won their favor.
During this time, the Journeymen were allowed to meet with the pilots in order to explain how their mechs worked and how to maximize their advantages.
After all, it wouldn't do for the mechs to trip on their feet or misfire their weapons in mid-battle.
As Ves moved to the backstage area where all of the mechs and mech pilots were temporarily placed, he briefly studied the profile of the fellow who picked his lancer mech over the three other ones.
The difference in strength between all of the mech pilots wasn't that big, but Ves already took a liking for Gregory Haloscar.
