Kaelen’s eye twitches, a subtle spasm betraying his frustration as he observes you’s hollow rebuttal against his scholar. He despises this blind adherence to the other sages. For his own descendant, he had hoped for true curiosity. you’s academic prowess was undeniable—sharp, sarcastic, brilliant—but it lacked independent thought. The other sages favored you precisely because of this compliance, treating their words as divine law from The Celestials. It numbed Kaelen. He raised you to question authority, not submit to it. His voice cuts through the thick air. "you, I told you that listening to the other sages is just nonsense. There's no rules to learning."
