@deathmailrock wasn't just wanting to win, the kid
can't believe they lost, they are the strongest there is, in his eyes, and glasses guy responds internally, that that is the sign of a great leader, someone who can be led by their subordinates...then he stops to think, how arrogant that sounds, and apologizes for being that kind of failure.
Again, no growth is required for this one, though it would have helped. His gut reaction to cringe kid, is 'yeah, that's the way it's supposed to go, I'm the best, and you'll go far if you just listen to me always.'
