Thaddeus was flying above the forest, the trees bending away from him as the wind from his speed was pushing them away, he was in a part of the forest where bandits were known to be active, but they posed no danger to him.
As he was flying, he felt a strange presence in the forest, he was sure he didn't feel that presence just a second before. 'I never thought I would come upon one of them teleporting into this world, how curious.' He thought. The last time a person from another world had teleported into the cultivation world was 100 years ago. Every 100 years there would be a person from a different world teleported to the cultivation world, but Thaddeus never thought he would see it happen himself.
He was sure it was someone from another world because they had no qi in them, just like a new-born baby, yet the person was at least 16 years old. He started flying toward the area where the person had teleported into the cultivation world and as he neared, he suppressed his presence and qi (not that he thought the person could sense qi but he was just being safe) as he hid in the trees above to watch the person.

Alexander was at school, on the way to his next class when he felt something pull him, and then a bright flash of lightning engulphed him and the next thing he knew he was in the middle of a forest with nobody around but the tall trees. "w-what the fuck" he says looking around himself for anything to tell him this isn't real. He didn't find anything but trees in his immediate surroundings, "t-this must b-be a d-dream" he said more to convince himself than anything else.
But the more he looked around the more he realized something, this couldn't be a dream as this was all too real, 'maybe a hallucination?' No that couldn't be true, he never had any symptoms of it before, and for a hallucination just to happen out of the blue with no symptoms was exceedingly rare.
As Alexander considered all the possibilities there was one, he wouldn't dare consider as the implications it would have, would be massive, but after he thought about it enough, he came to the truth, he was transported to another world and would probably never be able to see his world again. Not that he had any attachments to it, his parents were dead and he had no friends, but at least that world was familiar to him this was a completely foreign world he had no information about at all, so he did what any completely rational man would do, he called for help.
"HELP! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE!" as he kept on shouting for help a little while later, he saw bushes ruffling and he looked to that area in excitement that immediately became dread as he saw 5 men come out of the bushes holding swords and smiling wickedly, then they spoke. "Give us all your money and we'll spare your life." One of the men said and he respond's quickly not wanting to die, "I-I d-don't have any m-money sir." Alexander say's terrified, they look at him like they think he's lying then one of them says "kill him then we'll check if he's telling the truth." He feels terrified as the bandit speaks those words and know there's no reasoning with them, so he tries to run but they all move so fast that they could probably outpace professional sprinters on Earth.

As Thaddeus watches this all unfold, he was about to leave but just before he did,he had the mind to scan the otherworlders body with his qi and he finds something interesting.
The otherworlders element was lightning which was rare but not rare enough to interest Thaddeus, but what did interest him was his lightning body which makes all lightning techniques more powerful, and that made Thaddeus decide to protect him.
As soon as Thaddeus made the decision to protect him, he used his wind element to bolster his movements and appear in front of him in less time it would take him to blink. as he appeared in front of Alexander, he used his wind element technique that made wind burst out of his hand at high speed, and sent it straight at the bandits, it hit them in an instant and they were all cut in half their entrails flying everywhere and blood splattering on the trees behind them dead before they even knew what happened.
Once the bandits were dead Thaddeus turned around to look the 16-year-old boy in the eyes. He had black eyes that stared at Thaddeus with fear and awe, his black hair short and wild, his body lean and tall but he cowered from Thaddeus as if Thaddeus was a monster. Thaddeus was confused by that as killing a couple of bandits in their world was commonplace, but for Alexander who had never seen a single person die, he could only think Thaddeus was one thing 'monster!'

When Alexander witnessed Thaddeus appear in front of him he felt hope, he thought Thaddeus would just scare them away but Alexander was completely wrong. Thaddeus had used some sort of magic and then the men were just cut in half, dead just like that, not even a hint of hesitation to kill them on Thaddeus' part, and that terrified Alexander who just arrived in the world and knew nothing about it, he was confused terrified and awed by Thaddeus's display of power.
But when Thaddeus turned to face him with those cold grey eyes staring down at him, he thought he was going to die so he did the only thing he could think of. "p-p-please s-spare me s-sir." All Alexander knew in that moment was fear, as he felt something trickle from in between his legs and fall to the forest floor. Thaddeus looked surprised that Alexander would beg for his life so he clarified what he was going to do, "I'm not here to kill you boy, I'm here to help you." He said and Alexanders black eyes instantly lit up with hope again.
"Sir if you don't mind, could you tell me where I am?" Alexander asked, and Thaddeus perked up at that and answered, "ah, yes this must come as a surprise to you but you're on a completely different world than the one you come from. And please, call me Thaddeus."
