[@Ammokkx] it's not weird at all. First, he is new to the whole thing. Second, he's not in it for the sports. Third, even if he were, it doesn't mean he has to like sponsors. Besides, the deal he's in is pretty bad - his Gear is loaned under a strict contract. So anything that can complicate this automatically annoys him.

As a second year at Ace, he should know that he can't lead a team to victory if they can't maintain their GEARS, and that's pretty much impossible without a sponsor. At least, from what I've gathered from the VN.
