Korra stayed, but Tenzin would still be her Airbending teacher.
Although Kahn had said he would teach her himself if Tenzin refused, no one took that seriously. After all, how could he teach something outside his specialty?
Tenzin felt helpless too. This elder, Kahn, was clearly just a young man around Korra's age, so why did he act like a stubborn old man in his seventies or eighties when he lost his temper?
