"So, you're saying your agreement was because you lost a bet with Soron?"
Igor, a guy with no filter, didn't consider how the Great Mentor might react to such words. All he knew was that if something came to mind, he had to say it, or he'd feel uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, the Great Mentor wasn't a petty person. He didn't mind Igor's bluntness; in fact, he rather admired it.
"Yes, I lost, and I lost terribly," admitted Grand Master Guzan.
"Was it because you were too young back then and didn't consider everything thoroughly?" Igor tried to analyze the cause of Guzan's failure, sounding quite logical and well-reasoned.
"You could say that. My experience can serve as an excellent warning for all of you." The Great Mentor raised an eyebrow. If I'd known then what I know now, I wouldn't have made that bet with Lord Soron.
"What warning is that?" Igor asked, still full of interest, much like a naive child.
