I know that I won't get through to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how about we make a bet?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Kyle pointed at the top Disciple. \"Right now, I believe a battle between us could go either way. Do you agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top Disciple narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could win against the Disciple Kyle had fought against just as easily as he.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm pretty sure I would win,\" the top Disciple said, \"but I can confirm that winning against you wouldn't be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, so we're in agreement,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Somewhat,\" the top Disciple answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Kyle said with a smirk, \"so, how about this? In 80 years, we are going to spar. My bet is not that I will win. No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My bet is that I will win so handily that it won't even be a True Battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several pairs of eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, they believed that Kyle would most likely win. Unlocking a single Cluster in 80 years wasn't that difficult, and it would most likely give Kyle the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But winning so easily that it wasn't even a True Battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was unachievable in 80 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top Disciple felt underestimated and disrespected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he only took a deep breath through his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" he said. \"What are the stakes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I win the bet, you and your colleagues have to listen to a couple of my words,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if you lose?\" the top Disciple asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I lose,\" Kyle said with a confident smirk, \"you can take my place in the Array of Stars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Disciples became shocked once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meteor Hammer was that confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top Disciple narrowed his eyes. \"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" Kyle said before turning to the Head. \"Did you hear all of that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Head nodded. \"I am witness to the wager,\" he said. \"I will send a message to the Array of Stars with the contents of the wager.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned back to the top Disciple. \"Frankly, this isn't even a wager for me,\" he said. \"I am absolutely confident in my abilities. I could also bet on my life, and I wouldn't mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Disciples were disgusted with Kyle's arrogance, but luckily, he would be humbled in 80 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact,\" Kyle added, \"I am so confident that I won't even train in private. All the training I do will happen in public. You may watch me while I train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of the Disciples shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was way too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could someone this deluded join the Array of Stars?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Kyle looked at the Head. \"There's just one thing I need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your request does not exceed the average amount of resources a Core Disciple receives, I can grant it,\" the Head said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle lifted one finger. \"I just need one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A big cube of Medium Crusher Metal or stronger, and I don't even need to keep it. I just need access to it for 80 years. Afterwards, I will gladly hand it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Head furrowed his brows. \"We can provide that, assuming you will return it in full after 80 years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need anything else?\" the Head asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving someone such a cube would be far too much, but just lending it was no issue. That didn't even really count as asking for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope, that's all I need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked at the Disciples with a smirk. \"Anyway, I have to go train.
