Consequences of holding back the rise
His answer was simple; he would learn the concept of sovereignty and his path would probably absorb it naturally. After that, he would have to find a way to subdue the other two concepts and advance as a five-concept mage.

When Kayden opened his eyes, he saw thousands of people looking intently at him. Emotions ranged from disdain to contempt. From the side conversations, he heard that he was the only one who didn't advance. Quickly, a rumor that he was crippled was spread without any reason.
The look on the faces of the teachers who taught Kayden was just one of pity. They saw how hardworking Kayden was and tried to get the most out of every class. Only the unarmed fighting teacher had a genuine smile on his face.
