The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 31 The First Holiday and the First Operation

Today, Kahn finally had his first short holiday since starting school. He could finally get away from those brats and was in a very good mood.

This holiday was to celebrate the founding of the Fire Nation, but the chosen date was not the founding date, but the birthday of the founding emperor of the Fire Nation. It was a three-day holiday, and even the troops on the front lines would take a day off.

Incidentally, they changed their fire magic teacher midway through the process, supposedly because the previous fire magic teacher suddenly chose to join the army to serve the country, and joined the most dangerous front line.

His fearless spirit prompted the school leaders to hold a special lecture, encouraging students to learn from his example.

However, no one listened.

Apart from Kahn, most of the students here are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles. Even if they join the army in the future, they will only go to the safest place. Only a fool would go to the front line to die.

Kahn could only wish that guy good luck.

On the eve of the holiday, most of his classmates were discussing where their parents would take them on vacation, fantasizing about having a wonderful holiday, as if the war did not exist.

The century-long war had made people adapt to this way of life. Moreover, the flames of war never reached the Fire Nation's homeland. For the children of the Fire Nation, the world couldn't be more peaceful and beautiful.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Kahn. During this holiday, he could only stay at home and practice his fire control technique. He was still too weak and had no sense of security. Moreover, Ao Zai was watching him. Just thinking about it gave him nightmares.

Perhaps only when he possesses the strength to kick Aozai and punch Airo can he truly be considered safe.

In such a world, strength is the greatest guarantee.

On the day of the festival, a grand memorial ceremony was held in the city.

Although Ailo had been "relegated to the cold palace," he was still considered a member of the royal family, so he went to pay respects to the ancestors with Zuko and Azura, leaving Kahn to relax for a day.

The war objectively promoted the development of technology. In particular, the Fire Nation grew stronger and richer with each battle during this long world war. These conditions were reflected in the grand scale of the celebration, which amazed even Kahn, a time traveler.

The next day, Airo continued running to the council chamber, just as he had done ever since the war.

He no longer voiced his opposition or clashed with Ao Zai as before. Instead, he stood silently behind the crowd, watching without offering any opinions, just like a casual bystander who enjoyed watching the excitement. It seemed that he had completely given up on confronting Ao Zai.

However, based on Kahn's observations, Airo's occasional contemplation at home and some unusual behavior indicated that he was not as simple as he appeared.

Kahn didn't ask any more questions. The problems that a big shot like Elo was thinking about were probably beyond the reach of someone like him, especially since he already had enough trouble of his own.

Zu Kou was still very busy because he had many courses to study, his teachers were very strict with him, and he was often scolded by Ao Zai, so life wasn't easy for him.

Most importantly, he was indeed obediently accepting Aozara's arrangements, instead of trying to find loopholes like Azura did, or even threatening and intimidating his teacher, acting recklessly and lawlessly.

Kahn wanted to speak up for Zuko, but good people are always bullied?

Just like this time, when Kahn went to the palace to play with Azura and Zuko, Zuko was called away to study again before long, leaving only him and Azura.

Kahn couldn't help but complain:

"Even during holidays, we have to attend classes? That's terrifying!"

"No, it's just because he didn't finish his assignment on time that he needs extra lessons."

Azura gloated.

"."

Kahn was speechless. So it was Zuko who was a disappointment!

"Never mind that guy, the real show is just beginning."

"What?"

Kahn was a little confused. Azura stood up from the lawn, stretched, and turned to him, saying:

"Get to work, this time we're looking for clues to my mother's disappearance."

"ha?!"

Kahn paused for a moment.

"This is so sudden! Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Azura blinked, feigning innocence, and said:

"Because I wanted to surprise you, aren't you touched?"

Surprise? More like a shock!

However, Kahn already had an answer in his heart: Azura probably didn't trust him yet and was afraid that he would go back on his word and break his promise, so she dragged him onto the ship in this way.

Ordinary children wouldn't have such deep thoughts, but for Azura, it makes perfect sense.

Kahn said helplessly:

"I never break my promises, so next time if anything happens, remember to let me know in advance so I can prepare."

Hearing Kahn say this, Azura's expression softened slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and she spread her hands indifferently, saying:

"If that's your request, then fine."

Now, let's get back to the main topic.

"So, what should we do now?"

"Follow me."

The two began their operation.

Azura's target was the courtyard where Ershu lived. Since Ershu disappeared, it had been guarded, and Azura believed there might be some clues inside.

At this moment, Ao Zai was in the council hall, and Zu Kou was not in his way, making it the perfect time to act.

Kahn followed Azura as she moved along the walls, leaped between the palace eaves, and passed over the heads of the guards; every move she made thrilled Kahn.

This is the palace! Getting caught here would be a death sentence. This is such a test of character!

However, this stimulus did not affect Kahn's actions; on the contrary, it made him more cautious and careful, and he gradually adapted to the situation.

Stealth skill level up!

Kahn tried to find humor in his bitterness.

Although Azura did not tell him the plan in advance, she had made complete preparations beforehand. She knew the route of the journey, the patrol route of the guards, and the time of the shift change.

Azura said it casually:

"I play games like this all the time."

What else could he say but double-tap 666? This kid is terrifyingly talented; he's bound to achieve great things in the future!

Two soldiers guarded Ershu's bedroom, but they landed lightly on the roof. Azura said to Kahn:

"You take the left side, I'll take the right side."

"Won't this cause too much of a commotion? How are you going to explain this later?"

Azura sneered:

"If a guard fails in his duty and gets knocked unconscious by the enemy, they'll be the ones who suffer. As for me, don't worry, I can handle things with Father."

Kahn could only mourn for the two guards for three seconds before landing with Azura, easily stunning them, and pushing open the door to enter.

The room was large, and the two of them split up to search, one on the left and one on the right. Kahn thought to himself that he was being disrespectful and began to search.

Unexpectedly, Kahn soon found a letter under his desk.

The two began to examine the envelope, and after a moment, Azura's expression turned extremely grim.

As you can see, the contract has been signed! Thank you all for your concern and support!
