Because in truth, none of what he had been doing felt like an actual ability. Hearing that he was supposedly manifesting some kind of difficult-to-discover support-type ability only made him feel like a fraud.

And it wasn't just Elder Wei. The others had said similar things, that his affinity would help a lot in the path he wanted to pursue.
And since his teachers weren't ones to joke about aptitude and results, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
