Sheyan already won the respect of the rest of the contestants just by virtue of his support ability. It made them marvel at the fact that there were truly no mediocre contestants among those that were chosen for this mission.
Paul was really interested in the big, dumb-looking Ramtas, and kept asking Sheyan about it.
Although his battle robot was powerful, it actually had another, bigger weakness besides its slow movement, and that was the endless consumption of Paul's MP! Paul was not as crazy as Zi; his equipments were not all either dark green or dark gold without anything else of lower grade, so it was a struggle for him to maintain the robot.
It was true that everyone had their own problems. While Sheyan admired Paul's colossal robot that could sweep through all obstacles with its long, gigantic hammer, Paul also admired Ramtas for its convenience, high survivability and low maintenance. It was also considerate enough to repel bugs for its summoner!
