I'm struggling with the use of belie in this sentence, it comes across like a double negative to me "... with a glint in the eyes which suggested a man more knowledgeable than his years would usually belie and..."

I'm not impressed with the writing so far, it is very basic and unpolished. Some parts particularly jarring: "... the pain raced through him, spurring him on beyond his physical limits", "The scarce amount of moonlight...". One description redeemed things "His hair was like a study in chaos conducted by a man who, far from keeping his pencils in size order, rarely kept them in the same place as each other".
