Mags and the other rebels were looking at Jem with eyes of pity. So pitiable that they thought he seemed like a kid who had his favorite toy stolen from him. In short, a kid and his tantrums.
In their minds, there is no doubt that the boy was praiseworthy for attaining level 1 at such a young age, however. He was still young and ignorant of the world.
No matter how talented you are, if you lack the common sense you need, it only brings ruin to your future.
He should have understood already that no matter what he did was useless. There's no way to win against their leader, who was already at level 2.
On top of that, their leader was a veteran level 2. And the boy-- he was likely a newbie at level 1.
Mags shook his head lightly.
With just that, the disparity in their power was already comprehensible.
"HAHAHA! Is that all you've got, eh?"
