A surprised Arthur questioned why he was the subject of McEnda's bet, but his question was met with laughter and agreement from the others.
Alvey, who had been indifferent until now, argued that the newcomers should have been briefed about Arthur through his reports, so they should know better than to cause trouble.
However, McEnda countered that many likely didn't bother reading the lengthy report, which might lead to misunderstandings.
McEnda further explained that several factors could provoke the new generals: Arthur's youth, his rank as a Major General (which outranked more than half of those present), and the mysterious inability to sense his Level due to his Concealment Ring.
Alvey, skeptical, questioned why anyone would challenge Arthur when none of the seasoned generals present had an issue with him.
