He has only received negative impacts from the outcome of this regional sect examination. First it was Skylar coming to his dojo to die and his mother telling him that she would come to his house in the evening to drag him for the party.
He thought she would come to his house in the evening, and he was already prepared to escape. But he can already see her waiting some distance from the field.
So she had lied to him. Now he can't escape from her.
Of course, his situation is not as bad as those of parents whose children died in the sect examination. The Dyson family is just throwing a welcoming party for their children who have returned from the sect examination, and his mother wants him to attend that party by force.
It is not a matter of life and death for him, but it is already bad because what he wanted to do was train with the force diagram, not go to some party.
