Michael stepped to the side when he saw Sarah approach Oni.
"How are you doing?", Sarah asked Oni.
Oni took a deep breath and looked confidently at Sarah. "I will not show fear."
"Good. Don't try to beat Marija at her game. She is more experienced than you are."
Oni was confused. But it was only for a moment before it turned into anxiousness. "Are you saying that I can't win?"
"No. As long as you don't give up, there is always a way to victory. The rule for not using tools is against Marija. She has more experience than you but for years she is relying on automation her tools are providing and even if she knows how they work internally, it will be a mental adjustment to execute those steps manually."
Oni nodded in understanding before looking at Sarah expectantly: "Any last minute tips?"
