The next day's hassle of work was done quickly by the Turkish Gunpla Builder, sending all the updates needed to his boss in the textile industry. He browsed the Gunpla battle fansite for more news and a highlight was how there will be an American Student qualifier for the tournament in Honolulu. The concept was made by Professor Nils Nielsen to promote the hobby further with obvious success in the US and some possibilities in Europe. It is a contrast in China with doubts on it's benefits. Students will compete in qualifiers like other blocs and the qualifying contestant will receive academic support as well. Expenses for hotel and travel to Shizuoka city will be covered for as usual. Kartal himself received booking notifications from Yajima Trading with a flight from Istanbul to Narita, followed by a shuttle bus to Shizuoka a few days ago.

"BATTLE ENDED"
"GYAN KAISEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!" screamed the defeated Gunpla builder.
"Japan 2nd Block will be represented by Yosuke Sanada!" The announcer declared.
The man who just won wore a white replica JMSDF unform and held his God Gundam variant in triumph. It was coloured in military grey with the exception of markings of the JMSDF. "And I will be able to proceed to the tournament!" He thought.
