Only these dumb Asian novels would have an MC thats afraid of his own student, whose a magic novice, and would repeatedly oppose a powerful noble house just to help the student gain the strength that could be used to kill them, because instead of clear logic he cares more about 'dark aura' and 'death scenarios'- how can the magic novice even come close to causing his death if shes expelled, executed or denied funding? Asian authors' brains work differently.
