Couric simply nodded as he heard Julia speak, having no idea how much one hundred and seventy thousand was in comparison to himself. And then he heard her reveal his power level, a look of surprise on his face.
/So she has gotten stronger than me...? And considering how fast she is....if I want to win, I'll have to fight at full power.../
"Heh. Looks like you've surpassed me, Julia."

Julia, still in some disbelief, says...
"I couldn't have, though... you must have at least a little more... don't you...? No way I've surpassed you, hehe..."
This is totally awkward for her, but it makes her feel happier, just a bit.

"Well, I can bulk up my muscles a bit to increase my power, but that'd make me way too slow to keep up with you." He replied, wanting to hold that back as a surprise. He still believed that neither Gozu or Julia knew that he had transformed past that and he definitely wanted to keep that as his ace-in-the-hole..

"Oh..."
Julia is completely... amazed...
"I'm stronger than Couric? I'm actually... stronger than Couric?!
Wow."

/She's going to hate me if I really have to use that during my fight with her.../ Couric thought, a bit bothered by the fact he had held back a bit of the truth from her. But he technically wasn't lying to her...technically.

Julia, after some silence... sat down on the ground, beside Couric, and eventually... looked at the blue guy...
"Hey look, it's the blue Nai. He's even dressed like Nai, now."

Couric glanced in the direction Julia was looking, already sensing the Bio-Android's ki.
"Yeah..." The teen said, arms folding across his chest. He had a bad feeling about the being, knowing that if they fought, he could probably win...but it likely wouldn't be as easy as he hoped.
/If he's anything like Cajabe, then it doesn't matter how strong I am...He'll probably keep fighting or have some trick up his sleeve./

"Blue Nai's fighting Blaze... so if he wins, he fights one of us... for my sake, I hope you beat me so you can fight him... he gives me the creeps, ya know?"
"Why... do I feel like I know something more about him?"

"Don't hope I beat you, Julia!" Couric exclaimed, turning his attention back towards the android.
"Even if that guy gives you the creeps and you don't wanna fight him, you better give it your all and try to beat me with all the strength you can muster!"
/Cause I'll probably need everything I have just to beat you./

"Oh don't worry, I'll give you my all... it wouldn't be the same otherwise... but I'd still prefer it if I didn't have to face that creep... but hey, maybe Blaze'll show up out of nowhere and beat him for us, heh."
Optimism for the win.

"Maybe...but I have no problem fighting that guy if I have to." Couric replied simply, a childish grin upon his face. Even he seemed to be pumped up for this tournament, unknowingly having unlocked something upon defusing.

"I'd expect no different... of course you'll have no problems fighting some genetically engineered super warrior... even if he's not all that powerful compared to us. Heh."
She comments humorously.

"Yeah. But Gozu's the one I really wanna fight this time...especially with that power of his." Couric said, having been one of the first to see the saiyan's new level of strength. And it might just shock Julia that the teen knows about it since he didn't even seem to notice it when Gozu was having his little fight with Cajabe back on Icer.

"Gozu's power... you noticed, then?"
She doesn't remember if Couric ever had a chance to notice it... so she's curious.

"Yeah...I've known about it for a pretty long time." Couric replied simply, looking back towards her.
"I may not be as strong as him, but I'll definitely win...somehow."

"I hope you d-"
Julia puts a hand to her mouth, not realizing what she was saying until too late...
"I don't wanna root for one of them over the other! Oh no... what have I said?!"

Couric blinked in confusion as he watched Julia press a hand over her mouth, a sweatdrop rolling down the back of his head.
"Foot in mouth moment, Julia?" The teen asked, snickering a little.

"Eheh... yeah..."
Blushing bright red, she folds her arms, and giggles a little...
"Guess I'm rooting for you, then."

"Heh. You're gonna turn into a tomato before too long, Julia." Couric teased, glad that he was flustered for once. He was definitely happy that he had joined the tournament, even if it cost a lot for him to sign up...

Julia doesn't really have anything to say to that... but she's got some conflict going on inside of her...
"Stupid love triangle. I really should tell them both what's going on soon..."

"I wonder how much longer it is til the tournament actually starts up..." Couric muttered, feeling a bit bored just sitting around and waiting for the damn thing to begin. But, at least it wasn't as boring as the tournament on Earth had been...

"Once the Blaze guy shows up... or if he takes too long... he'll get disqualified in a couple of hours and the matches'll begin."

"A few more hours, huh...This is gonna be a long wait then." The teen pouted a little, obviously wanting to fight sooner rather than later. But he'd try and at least be a bit patient...

Getting a bright idea, Shen stands up.
If this poison holds me back so much in battle, I should figure out how to at least use it to my advantage.
He gets up, and crosses his arms in an X formation, but leaves his palms facing the ground. A few Namekians look at Shen to see what he's doing.

Now that I think about it, I think I'm starting to develop alot of excess poison. This stuff I can definitely use to my advantage. Let's see... maybe if I can force it out somehow.
Shen closes his eyes and focuses, thinking hard about the excess poison in his body.

"Ha!" Shen says. Pink clouds of smoke fire out from his hands, and random parts of his body. Pretty soon, Shen is completely covered in a cloud of pink. The Namekians around Shen look at him weird... they've never seen anything like this before.

Shen thrusts his arm upwards, and some of the poison rockets into the sky.
It's hard for me to see stuff, but anyone else would have a much harder time seeing stuff for sure. I can fire this... but what if I backed it up with my ki?

"Yeah... it's annoying having to wait this long... I want the fights to start already. Stupid Blaze holding us all up."
She sighs.

Shen throws his arms to the side, Goku style, and exerts out some of his ki. The poison forms to make a ki force field, tattered with pink poison clouds, but backed with purple ki. Shen's visible through the force field.
Awesome... I guess that's it for now.

"Could be worse..." Couric chuckled.
"Could only be three people here, each having not been set up to fight each other. That'd really be a pain in the ass."
