* ''Manhua/ZuiWuDao'': Xiao Hei tells Wu Di that he is on his own in the Time Forgotten Forge so that Wu Di can focus on his own improvement. He eventually reneges on it when Dao Ling targets Wu Di, largely because Wu Di has hit a wall in his development and ''can't'' move beyond it without help.

There is this person. He has power, he is able to help you. And it's not like he's too busy to be able to spend the time on you.
But he cares about you and wishes you well. And that's why he won't help you. Because he thinks that you [[TheOnlyWayTheyWillLearn need the experience]]. Or self-confidence. Or reputation. Because he thinks that solving your problems for you would be bad for your growth. Or that showing doubts in your ability [[KillSteal would be impolite]]. And so, you are on your own.

** This applies to most mentors, who are usually stronger than the heroes at the beginning of the season, to the point that they could defeat the monster on their own, but if they did, the protagonists could not become stronger.

* In the ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' novel, Cain engages an Ork warboss in a duel, while other orks just stand by and watch. Cain's aid Jurgen explains that they do not dare interfere, because the boss would see that as a challenge to his might and kill them. For the same reason Jurgen cannot help Cain - if he does, ''then'' other orks can also join.

When Jaune why Jubei doesn't handle them himself since he's more than powerful enough to do so, Jubei responds that they wouldn't learn anything if he fought their battles for them.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'', a rule that has been present since the beginning of the series is that one's fairy godparents are forbidden from helping their godkid win a competition. This has caused problems for Timmy more than once because he often augments his own capabilities with wishes, but [[BroughtDownToNormal all of those buffs instantly disappear]] the moment something becomes a contest of skill.
