This reads kinda weird, and not in a good way. I know someone’s gonna go “if you wanted realism go read something else”, but it seems tone deaf to just instantly quell what must have been generation’s worth of grudges (even if only the small portion directed toward him) by ‘instructing’ a child who, just a moment earlier, had essentially shot to kill him. the way this is written is, imo, lazy, even worse than the usual ‘save the justifiably angry people from a sudden disaster that onlt the mc is in the position to handle’. There’s really nothing view-changing about teaching a child who hates you to attack yourself better. It seems that what happened instead is that the child’s hatred was automatically deleted the moment Kieran parted his lips and let loose that mc-brand Charisma.
I see your point but that's because you're giving the boy too much credit for the voice of the race. Children aren't adults, especially young children. Their views tend to be too binary, whether it's good or bad, which is why it's the parent/guardians' job to instill views into them. Give a small child a lovely gift, and they'll instantly love you. Do them wrong, and they'll likely hate you. But, the neutralization of hatred is not what's happening here. Kieran is simply introducing himself as a harmless non-threat by wielding a power unique to the Wykins. Gaining the trust of the race itself will take time, and so this is a preliminary arc.
