Robert and Rex's teams were advancing on the mountainous path with a steady pace.
"I still don't understand, Rex, why you'd want to team up with us," Robert asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"Because my team is the jack of all trades. We're not suitable for any particular path, but we're capable of traversing all of them," Rex replied helplessly. He had already explained his reasoning a few times, but Robert still didn't seem to understand.
"What does that mean? Then shouldn't you compete with other teams since you can choose any path? Your team has the most advantage, doesn't it?" Robert asked, perplexed.
""Not necessarily," Rex explained patiently.
