Korra and Katara slept in the hotel room, while I took a quick nap in the domain and spent the rest of the night practising my magic, I've been a bit slack lately, I'd better make up for it.

In the morning, when Korra and Katara went to Master Yu's academy, I decided to take a break from training and visit Blind Bandit. The girl was now wandering around the garden, and while yesterday her clothes looked more like a boy's, now Toph Beifong looked like a little lady, wearing a pretty dress, and her black hair was neatly combed and styled.

- Hi there, Blind Bandit. - I jumped off the ice board.

- Lava guy! How did you find me? And more importantly, why? - The girl was wary.

- Well, I had nothing to do, I arranged Avatar in the academy of Master Yu, and while she is studying there, I am free. And I tracked you yesterday, I was curious, who is this little blind girl that is a strong Earth Mage? Turns out she's the heiress of the richest Beifong family, Toph Beifong, I sense your parents don't know about your little hobby.

- They don't... and you're not going to tell them. - said Toph with a kind of menace in her voice.

- I wasn't going to tell them.

- So you're a friend of the Avatar, I guess you're travelling the world with him? - Toph asked.

- Yeah, except the Avatar is a girl, she's from the Southern Water Tribe. We've been to the Air Nomad Islands, a few cities in the Earth Kingdom, and the North Pole, so if Korra doesn't like learning from Master Yu, we're also going to Ba Sing Sho to look for a teacher in Earth Magic.

- My parents hired this Master Yu, but he does not teach me anything except meditation... he just takes money from my parents for nothing, but they think that I do not know anything about Earth Magic, while I am the strongest Earth Mage in the world! - proudly said the girl, - So you, then, decided to come to me to ask to become the Avatar new teacher in Earth Magic?

- I doubt you'll agree, you seem to have loving parents... I wanted to offer you... healing your blindness. - I came closer to Toph.

- What? You're not lying? My parents hired the best healers in the world, how can you help me? - asked a worried Toph.

- Well, I know how to control life energy, I can use it to heal myself and others... in general, I'm not a fan of helping everyone in the world, because every second someone needs help, but if someone who needs help comes my way and it's not too difficult for me to help them, I can do it.

- And how much gold do you want for my possible healing? - Toph asked.

- I can mine gold myself, I have a couple of quintals in reserve, so I don't need gold from your family... it's just that I've recently messed up my karma, so it would be nice to restore it and help a blind girl, who is a strong Earth Mage, without payment, maybe you'll become even stronger when you see, and maybe you'll want to teach the Avatar Earth Magic as a thank you.

- Oh, so still, you want me to become the Avatar's teacher... and in return you offered me something that I can't even buy for a lot of money. - I need to think about it, and talk to my parents. I'll find you, but now go away, or I'll call the guards.

- Well, don't think too long, if the Avatar doesn't like Master Yu as a teacher, we'll go to another city for a new teacher tonight. - I jumped on the ice board and flew to the nearest mountain, where I started to practice magic, Korra's class was supposed to end after five o'clock, so I could practice until then.

Sometime after lunch, I noticed a strange red dot in the sky, and flying closer, it turned out that it was an air transport, some intermediate variant between a balloon and an airship, that is, a red balloon was attached to a small wooden boat. In the boat was placed a steam engine, and when the fuel was burned it gave off hot air, which filled the balloon, and also rotated a small propeller, which moved the balloon through the air at a good speed of ninety kilometres an hour.

Inside this transport, there were three girls, one of them I saw in Omashu, it was the daughter of the governor of that city, the second girl I did not know, but she was a pretty girl with a long braid, and the third girl was dressed as a princess of the Fire Nation, and in general, although I have not seen Azula for eight years, but it was not difficult to recognise her.

- Ladies, where are we going? - I asked as I landed on the bow of the airboat, wearing Oni armour.

- Die! - Azula shouted, shooting a lightning bolt at me from her fingers, knocking me off the bow of the boat and sending me flying downwards.

Thankfully, my metal armour absorbed Azula's electrical charge, and redistributed it to my entire body, minimising the damage to my body. The lightning strike was painful and paralysed me for a moment, but it didn't do much damage, so I recovered in a second and flew on the jets to the airship.

- Azula, you're just as mean as ever, only now you've learnt to shoot lightning. - I dodged a few lightning bolts, but she didn't want to use blue flames to avoid damaging the balloon.

- Azula, he definitely knows you. - The girl with the pigtail spoke up.

- Shut up, Tai Li! Mei, why aren't you throwing your daggers at him? - Azula angrily asked her other friend.

- Oh, so it's Mei, I didn't know you continued to be friends with her even after the academy, I thought with your evil temper you wouldn't have any friends at all, and you even managed to be friends with Tai Li. I'm surprised. - I continued to dodge Azula's lightning bolts in the air.

- He knows me from the academy too? Who are you? - Mei stepped forward and started throwing her daggers at me.

- Ladies, you may not realise the fragility of your transport. - I caught all of Mei's knives, and having melted them, twisted the metal with great speed, as a result I got a rotating red-hot disc, with which I began to destroy the balloon, this fiery disc easily cut through the fabric of the balloon, and the wood of the boat, and the metal of the power plant, - Gentle fall to you, dear ladies. - I waved as the balloon began to fall gently into the forest, and since the balloon was already damaged, Azula stopped holding back and began attacking me not only with lightning, but also with blue flames. Soon the balloon came down pretty close to the ground, and all three girls jumped off it, and Azula fully focused on me, sending a stream of blue super-hot fire at me.

- That's a beautiful flame you have, Azula. I can only produce a slightly bluish flame. - I said, redirecting Azula's flame into the sky, so as not to accidentally set the forest on fire.

- That's all because you're weak! - Azula shouted, sending another lightning bolt at me, but this one was clearly more than her strength.

- Oh, you're calling me names just like the good old days. - I put forward my left hand, and my right hand put back, and then I cooled the armour on my arms and on my back to the temperature close to absolute zero, as a result, the metal of the armour became superconductor, so Azula's lightning, which hit my left hand, simply came out of my right hand without hurting me in any way, - It worked, now you can redirect the lightning. - I said, and landed on the ground, while I was attacked by three girls at once.

- Ouch, it's not fair to wear armour! - shouted Tai Li, who tried to strike me a couple of blows with two fingers, and she was aiming directly at the energy centres of the body, hitting which would most likely paralyse a person, and the magician's energy control would be so impaired that he would not be able to use magic.

- Tai Li, it's fair to be as dazzlingly beautiful as you are, huh? Is that how I can attack such a pretty girl? - I asked, dodging Tai Li's quick and sudden strikes, as well as Mei's daggers, and Azula's fireballs, 'How flexible you are, Tai Li. I admire you, you'll make a great wife. - I said as I was kicked in the mask, and the kick came from behind Tai Li's shoulder while she was standing with her other foot on the ground.

- Oh, thank you, you're very cute, even though your mask is scary, do you want to take it off? - asked Ty Lee sweetly.

- Yeah, so your girlfriend Mei can put out my eyes with daggers? Or your other girlfriend Azula to burn my beautiful face with her blue flames? By the way, Azula, be careful, you almost hit Tai Li. - I intercepted the blue fireball that almost hit Tai Li's leg when she tried to knock me off balance with her feet.

- Who are you?! Take off your mask now! - Azula shouted, and clenched her fists and let out thin blue plasma blades, such cutters can really cut through my armour, which Azula tried to do.

- Azula, you always ruin my stuff. - I complained when Azula scratched my mask and armour with her blades, the length of plasma blades she could change, so it was hard to dodge my sister's lunges without damaging myself, - That's it, I don't play like that anymore. - I jumped away from the three girls and flew into the air.

- See you soon, my favourite princess Azula! - I said before flying into the sky.

- You can't be! - Azula shouted, sending lightning and fireballs after me.

- Azula, did you realise who the guy in the mask was? - Tai Li asked her friend.

- No! - Azula shouted angrily at Tai Li.

- Okay, no, no, don't be angry. - Tai Li raised her hands.

- Actually, we have plenty of reasons to be angry. For example, for example, our broken transport, what are we going to use to chase the Avatar? - Mei asked phlegmatically, pointing at the wreckage of the balloon.

- We will be sent a new one, but now we go to the nearest city, intelligence reports that the Avatar is there. - Azula ordered.

- On foot? - Mei asked again.

- Yes, on foot, and if you want, I'll let you carry your princess. - said Azula.

- I will refuse such an honour. - replied Mei.

- Here, then, and go in silence, and do not make me angry, I am now more angry than ever. - The three girls set off on foot through the forests and mountains, it took them about three hours to get to Gaolin.

I returned to the city, and went to the academy of Master Yu, Korra seemed to still be in class, but Katara was waiting for her sister near the school, sitting on a bench.

- What happened to your armour? - Katara immediately noticed the marks from Azula's lightning bolts, as well as the deep scratches from her plasma blades.

- I met my favourite sister, she'll be in town in a few hours. - I replied, examining the damaged mask.

- You couldn't beat her? - Katara asked.

- I seriously didn't try... it was nice to meet Azula after so many years of separation, she has cute friends too, if three such beautiful girls are going to run after us, I don't mind at all. Plus, it would give Korra an incentive to learn magic faster. - I replied, patching up the damage to my mask.

- Your sister's not alone either? So do we have to leave town? - Katara looked at me.

- Perhaps, I think we can pay Master Yu to train Korra while we travel the world. We'll wait until the class is over and then we'll decide. - but we didn't have to wait long, a disgruntled Korra came out of the academy.

- You know what I learnt today? Meditate. I came here to learn how to smash rocks! And he made me listen to the earth all day... fuck Master Yu! Especially for such a lavish price for a lesson! - Korra said.

- Yeah, you're more suited to a different approach to learning - less theory, more practice. I tried to make an appointment with the Blind Bandit just in case, so let's go ask her if she's willing or not. - I went to the Beifong Manor in an upscale area of the city,' I also met Azula, the sister who was sent to recapture the Avatar.

- Is that crazy lightning maniac out there somewhere? - Korra asked with obvious fear.

- Yeah, she's around, and she's pretty pissed off since she met me.

- Then we'd better get out of town. - said Korra, she clearly wanted to avoid another encounter with Azula.

We reached Beifong Manor in a few minutes, there was a commotion going on, I closed my eyes and found a trail of a recently dug tunnel under the ground, I decided to follow it, and just outside the city I found Toph coming out of the ground.

- Did you run away from home? - I asked the grubby girl, whose face was all in the ground, as well as her clothes.

- Yeah. I told my parents that I was a strong Earth Mage, and that I had won the Earth Mage Tournament, and my father had punished me, and now I had to be under someone's supervision at all times, and under no circumstances was I to leave the grounds of the mansion. He said that he gave me too much freedom, and now, I will not have it at all... so I ran away. - replied the girl.

- Good for you, I ran away from home when I was eight years old. - I encouraged the girl.

- And you are cool, Lava Boy, I first time I ran away at the age of nine, then I got into the Burrow of mole badgers, where I met these cute animals, from which and learnt Earth Magic. - I think we should get out of town before my parents find me.

- Who are her parents? They lived in that mansion, didn't they? - Katara asked.

- Yes, this girl's name is Toph Beifong, she is the heir to the richest family in the Earth Kingdom, the Beifong family, and as of now, she is the Avatar's new Earth Magic teacher, right Toph?

- Yeah, but you'll honour your promise for that, won't you, Lava Boy? - Toph asked.

- Sure, and you'll probably be able to see before I heal your eyes. - I touched Toph and moved her body into the domain and her astral projection appeared next to me, I also moved Katara and Korra into the domain and their astral projections also appeared next to me. The girls saw each other, me, and everything near me in the real world... and the astral projection looked like a transparent physical body, but it had no limitations, so Toph was able to see the world around her.

- This... what the hell is this? - Toph examined herself and the world around her.

- I made you a spirit for a while, and your body is now in a special space between worlds. - I flew up into the air, and the spirit projections of the three girls followed me, I flew to the east, and somewhere after fifteen hundred kilometres I saw a town. On the map it was marked as Tu Zin, it used to be a thriving mining town, but a couple of years ago the mines were completely deserted and the town was abandoned, that's where I unloaded my companions.

When Toph returned to her body back in the real world, she was blind again, which she clearly wasn't happy about.

- This sucks again. - Hey, Lava Boy, how long do you need to fulfil your promise?

- I'll check you out and tell you. - I came up to Toph, and putting my hand on her temples, filled her body with my vital energy, with the help of which I could analyse the girl's condition, - So, cataract on the whole lens, undeveloped eye vessels on the retina, atrophied eye nerve... yes, at least three days I will need to restore your sight. I think we can stay in this abandoned town for those three days, it'll take Azula at least four days to get here, if she can find transport. I will fly Toph, and Toph will teach Korra Earth Magic, if the teacher satisfies the Avatar, Toph can continue travelling with us, and if not, we will return the already sighted Toph to Gaolin. - I said, continuing to examine the girl's body.

- Avatar, get your arse over here, we'll study Earth Magic! - Tof stepped away from me and stomped her foot, causing two huge boulders to shoot out of the ground, which after a couple of seconds fell to the ground again, - By the end of the lesson, you must learn to do this! - Toph easily hit the nearest boulder with her open palm, and it flew with great speed into the nearest empty wooden house.

- That's the kind of lesson I like better. - With a smile said Korra, and began to learn under the guidance of Toph, and Toph was a very strict teacher, she yelled all the time, and if Korra did something wrong, Toph threw stones at her. But, at the same time, the lesson was more interesting than Master Yu's meditations.
