A man who was too out of touch.
No, Rashid was not a man, but a child no matter what his accomplishments were. So a bit of tomfoolery from his front is not so absurd when one thinks deep enough.

Does he think that while studying in the school of an enemy nation, they won't keep an eye on him?
Does he think that he would be ignored due to his identity and left alone to do whatever he wants?
Does he think the enemy won't be curious due to his youth? And put some of their dogs on him?
