I want to propose another idea:
The hero and the mentor are both on the same side, same page, both capable.
But there comes a threat, a problem, that both cannot solve. Not alone, not together.
It's time. It's time to be the hero, someone has to save the day.
It's time to transcend, to get to a new state of being. The hero becomes greater than their mentor. Both tried to solve it and couldn't, it needed a change that only one was able to accomplish: the true hero.
This can all be mental, it can be a new superpower, it can be a trick. But when you understand, there will be something different.
