When Asd had told everyone that they were taking a break off to train, he didn't realize that he and the centauress Moreno would be more or less excluded from vigorous activities due to their injuries. Asd really had no choice but to focus on his control, and perhaps complete the reaming two spell slots he had and bring the first circle to a close and advance to the second. He already had as much Mana as someone in the third circle so he really didn't have much of problem and would probably advance with ease, all that was missing were the spells.
