The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 24 School Bullying?

This was the last class of the day, but Kahn was paying close attention because he was very interested—it was a music class.

Kahn found this quite novel. In his mind, a country at war should be in a state of active preparation for war, and its pace of life should be quite intense.

But the Fire Nation, which launched a world war that lasted for nearly a century, shattered Kahn's original preconceived notions.

The city was a bustling metropolis, with streets teeming with traffic and people coming and going. It was hard to believe that this country was conquering the world with its own strength and had been doing so for nearly a century.

Besides that, there's the school he's currently attending.

It's hard to imagine that this country, whose clothing, lifestyle, language, and even system are like his hometown in ancient times, would actually implement six years of compulsory education!

This is probably one of the reasons why the Fire Nation is able to take on the entire world and become stronger with each battle.

Kahn is currently engrossed in his music lessons.

The music classes here don't just teach them to sing; they also teach them how to use some basic musical instruments.

Kahn chose an instrument that he was interested in: the flute, which looked cool to play and was easy to carry.

He couldn't help but imagine himself playing a tune before a future battle, then effortlessly and effortlessly annihilating his opponent.

Thump~ thump~ thump~~

As the bell rang, the students said goodbye to their teachers and gathered in twos and threes as they left the classroom, discussing where to go home or where to play.

Lately, no one has been inviting Kahn to hang out with them anymore.

It wasn't that he was rejected or neglected, but after spending time together, they realized that Kahn was a person with his own ideas and wouldn't change because of other people's invitations. If he didn't want to go, no amount of invitations would work, and if he wanted to go, he would naturally tell them.

But this actually made him more popular at school.

The Fire Nation's educational philosophy emphasizes solemnity and restraint. In the eyes of the teachers, Kahn's behavior is a manifestation of restraint, and other children of Kahn's age also think Kahn is amazing because they can't help but play.

Kahn wasn't surprised; playing is a child's nature.

Even he, occasionally, when he gets interested, will want to play hide-and-seek or something with them. Ahem!

However, he didn't plan to do that today; he was going to the library next.

Zuko and Azura couldn't come to play with him every day.

Regardless of the various restrictions imposed on Zukor, even Azura can't sneak out every day.

As for Airo, he taught him fire control techniques every day at the beginning, but as the difficulty of the teaching increased, even with his cheat-like abilities, he couldn't maintain that speed indefinitely, and his learning progress gradually slowed down.

According to Airo, learning fire control requires a long and gradual process of practice.

As for Elo, he breathed a sigh of relief. If Kahn could really maintain his initial rate of progress, he wouldn't be a genius, he would be a monster!

At least now he doesn't have to worry about having nothing left to teach.

In short, he had free time during the school year, especially after school.

"Hey, Kahn!"

Just as Kahn stepped out of the classroom, he heard a clear, bright voice calling his name.

Turning around, it was indeed Terry. Mei stood silently beside Terry, nodding in greeting.

Speaking of which, ever since he met Azura's two little followers, May and Terry, he was surprised to find that they were studying at the same school as him.

This is normal, though, because the school he attends is one of the best in the capital. Although there are many children from ordinary families, most of them have parents or relatives who are officials, or they are aristocrats or wealthy people.

His family was the same; at least before he became an orphan, his family was considered a prominent family, and his adoptive father was even Airo's deputy.

Of course, although he is now the only one left in the family, he is not exactly fallen from grace. After all, he is still in the royal circle, which is an absolutely top-tier social circle.

Every time they bumped into each other at school, the two, especially Terri, would greet him warmly or stand together and chat for a while. Over time, the three of them became familiar with each other, and Terri and May became Kahn's best friends at school.

Perhaps because Azura wasn't there, Terry at school was much more cheerful and enthusiastic than when he first met her; she was a very energetic little girl.

Zuko's girlfriend Mei was acting much the same as before, but the way she looked at him each time seemed a little strange, as if she was afraid of him.

It must be my imagination, right?

Kahn walked with the two men and exchanged pleasantries.

He casually asked, "Where are you going to have fun?"

"No, Mei and I just went home together. Our homes are very close, right, Mei?"

Terri spoke animatedly, then asked Kahn:

Are you going to the library today too?

"Um."

Kahn nodded.

"That's amazing!"

Terri's eyes sparkled with adoration.

The three chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious and pleasant. However, just as it was about time to part ways, Kahn witnessed some unfriendly scenes.

In a corner of the school wall, two girls were surrounded by three rather strong boys.

To be precise, one of the girls was confronting the three boys, while another girl looked at her with great concern, unsure of what to do, silently and anxiously seeking help from those around her.

No matter where you are, when you talk about the campus, there are always many beautiful words that come to mind, such as youth, naivety, innocence, hard work, friendship... However, there are also many words that have nothing to do with beauty.

For example, school bullying.

What Kahn was witnessing was undoubtedly a case of school bullying.

"Kahn, what happened over there?"

Terri looked at Kahn, who had clearly seen what was happening in the corner as well. It was the first time Terri had encountered something like this, and she was obviously at a loss.

In fact, bullying is indeed very rare, even unusual, at such a top university.

Mei observed quietly from the side and soon noticed some differences:

"That girl looks unfamiliar; she doesn't seem to be from around here. She might have just transferred here recently."

"What's this, this kind of xenophobia in big cities?"

Kahn was no stranger to this kind of thing. In his previous life, when he was in school, especially during junior high school, the gangster culture was prevalent, and there were some hooligans in his class who often bullied others.

Although he wasn't exactly a model citizen eager to help others, he could still easily notify the teacher, especially since the two girls being bullied were acquaintances.

His classmate.

However, just as Mei had guessed, one of the girls had just transferred to the school.

Although meddling in other people's business wasn't his hobby, these were his classmates after all, and it wouldn't be manly of him to ignore them.

So Kahn stepped forward and said:

"Excuse me, what brings you to my classmate's place?"

"Um?"

The girl confronting the three—Kouli—glanced at him unexpectedly, recognizing him as a classmate, but couldn't recall his name.

"Kahn!"

The girl next to him exclaimed Kahn's name in surprise.
