Of all of the opponents Ves could match up against, pitting his Pontifical Lance against the Dominant was the worst-case scenario.
He possessed plenty of awareness that he was probably not the absolute best mech designer in this tournament. He was too young and his work was too unrefined and low-tech to compete against the better mechs.
However, he still held hope that his design philosophy along with his unique methods could make a difference.
He recognized that the key to winning against stronger opponents was to substantially increase the relationship between his own mech and its mech pilot.
As long as Gregory Haloscar developed a deeper bond with the Pontifical Lance and drew out more of its power, then it was not impossible for the two to defeat another combination that was stronger on paper!
"All of this requires time, though!"
