Khan complied with the Headmistress' directives in the following days. He stayed put, even skipping lessons to let her handle the consequences of his fame.
That peaceful and relaxed period did wonders for Khan's injuries. His ribs healed completely, and the benefits of the rest didn't stop there. The additional free time allowed him to study more and even gave him a chance to consider his many opportunities.
Khan was overwhelmed with options. He could join any family he wanted or stick with the Global Army. He could also ignore all of that and focus on his studies. The entire political environment was within his reach. It was only waiting for his decision.
The break also helped Khan's mental state. He had gradually gotten more honest with his actions and words since his arrival in the Harbor, and that trend didn't stop. The outburst with Lucian only pushed him further in that direction. His fame was giving him a chance to be closer to himself, and he didn't refuse it.
