Southern Water tribe - one week after the Fire Nation attack.

  Southern water tribe training grounds

  Two water benders, one old and one young could be seen sparing against each other using a variety of water-bending styles and moves.

  The young one unched an ice spear towards the old guy who somersaulted backwards with agility that shouldn't be possible for someone his age, evading and delivering an attack of his own at the same time.

  Levi expertly dodged to the side with no wasted movement whatsoever as he maniputed the water uenzin’s feet to turn into liquid.

  Sadly he was fighting against someoh rich battle experiend a water-bending master at that, Tenzin didn't even bother with the snow that had turo water as he was still standing on top of it as if it was solid ground.

  ‘Tsk, this fug Jesus wahought Levi, showing annoya Tenzin's versatility.

  Deep down though he was enjoying his time, there wasn't even a trace of annoyan his body, he hadn't felt this rexed and happy in a long while.

  ‘It might also have to do with me not using Gamer’s mind since I came back.’ thought Levi.

  After he disabled Gamer’s mind to reuh his family he hadn't tur ba ever since, and he was actually happy he made that decision.

  Ign the fact that he could be closer and more open with his family, he also wao get used to handling tough situations without it.

  It was fine now wheill had it, but what if something happened iure and he lost access to Gamer’s mind, there was ainty in this world, ‘If that happened and I turn into a useless whimpering mess I'll only have myself to bme.’ thought Levi as he created sharp ice circles and shot them spinning towards Tenzin.

  Of course Levi only disabled Gamer’s mind to train his mind and will because there were no threats that directly targeted the mind in this world, so he could do it with ease.

  Sadly the same couldn't be said famer’s body, even though it might be beneficial to experience real injuries and learn to ehem and deal with them it was too dangerous.

  With Gamer’s body on, even if his heart got pierced or ripped out entirely of his body he would still not die as long as his HP were not zero, and with time he would regee back to a hundred pert, but if he tur off it would be a whole other story.

  “You're distracted.” said Tenzin with a smug smile.

  Levi felt his danger sense fring but he wasn't panig, even with Gamer’s mind off he wasn't a plete amateur.

  Extrag water from the ground he bent it behind him aed the two water tentacles that were trying to bind him from the back while at the same time maniputing the water under his feet to turn into a huge wave that carried him and rushed towards Tenzin.

  Like this the two of them kept going bad forth for half an hour before both sides decided that it was enough.

  At the end of the fight both of them were panting hard as they sat on the ground.

  Seeing this Levi was quite satisfied with himself, two years ago he still couldn't even make his master run out of breath, and although he was still the one in the worst dition it wouldn't be like that for long.

  Of course all of this was in his base form with no amplification from limit breaker or his bounded spirits or else it would be a whole other story.

  “You've grown a lot boy, in a few years I am sure you'll surpass even me.” said Tenzin with a plicated look on his face, but there was no envy or indignation, he was just shocked at Levi’s growth speed, and deep down in his eyes Levi could everace of pride and expectation.

  “Well, when you gh the same pile of crap I went through these past few years you're bound to grow quickly.” said Levi, even though his biggest reason frowth was the system, the spirit realm still pyed a huge part.

  “Oh, are you finally going to tell me where you were these past few years?.” asked Tenzin with a raised eyebrow, ever since Levi came back he was avoiding speaking about the time he was absent.

  “Ha-ah, you wouldn't believe the shit I went through, master.” said Levi cursing and sighing as he started narrating his experieenzin didn't seem to mind Levi’s nguage at all as he listened.

  He listened with rapt attention, he didn't even blink, he had been stantly bming himself these past two years so no one wao know what happeo Levi more than him.

  When he heard that Levi had ended up in the spirit world his mouth opened so wide that Levi could swear he could fit a young Aologia into it.

  When he heard about his enter with Aologia and all the wondrous things there Tenzin could only Sigh at the wonders of the spirit realm.

  And when he heard about Sage the horny parrot he could only listen with an awkward expression as his eye twitched, Levi had a fun time watg that expression.

  (AN: Btw guys my inspiration to write Sage was her than lord fifth from I Shall Seal the Heavens, those who read it will get it, and if you didn't don't stress it, it's not that important to the story)

  When he heard that Levi went to Koh to ask for help his face paled in horror, so much that it turned as white as the snow around them.

  “ARE YOU MAD? WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT YOU JUST APPROACH THE FACE STEALER LIKE THAT.” Tenzin shouted so hard in rage that Levi jumped in fright.

  His Gamer’s mind wasn't active so this rea was genuine, seeing him like that even Tenzin was shocked, this was the first time he saw Levi surprised like that, which made him feel a little awkward as he might have gone a bit overboard.

  “Ahem, tinue.” said Tenzin while coughing awkwardly.

  ‘Fuck you old man, my soul almost left my body.’ thought Levi as he calmed dowarted to have sed thoughts about keeping Gamer‘s mind off.

  But then again situations like these were the reasour off, he o adapt to high-stress situations and surprises without it.

  tinuing his tale Levi omitted the fact that he had met with Vaatu, Tenzin art of the white lotus after all and he most likely knew about the a spirits of Raava and Vatuu.

  It was not that he didn't want to tell him though, but how would he expin him returning here using Vaatu without mentioning Tobirama, so in the end he only mentioned a benevolent spirit that helped send him back.

  With his actor skill Tenzin didn't deteything missing, he even received a level for his ag.

  [Ag +1 level]

  Of course Levi avoided talking a lot about other stuff, like Aologia or his Spirit body and its sub-abilities, Levi had a feeling that it wasn't wise to mention any of that. Of course that didn't mean he wasn't going to use them in battle.

  On the trary, he was going to abuse the hell out of them when he o, it just wasn't the time for it yet.

  “Ha-ah I still 't believe it even now, this world is more wondrous than any of us realize.” sighed Tenzin before tinuing, “All that matters is that you're baow.”

  Levi could only nod in response even though his master had a fun way of showing it he khat he cared for him.

  ***

  Walking around the tribe Levi couldn't help but sigh.

  Usually, the pce was lively and full of people but now it seemed like a barren pce, half of the tribe’s popution was exterminated.

  Seeing this Levi couldn't help but sigh, ‘At least this way the ces of atack are almost hought Levi.

  With a popution this size they were no threat to the fire nation, at least for the time being, so there wouldn't be any future attacks.

  heless, this was better than what would have happened if Levi wasn't present, in the show most of the men and benders were missing with only women remaining.

  Seeing half of his tribe exterminated Levi could barely feel anything, even with Gamer’s mind off, as long as his close ones were safe he didn't really care much.

  Ohing to note was that Tobirama’s status iribe was elevated after it was revealed he was a bending master during the st battle.

  That was a good thing for Levi right now, with his own power, his father’s chief position, and Tobirama he could have a rge say iribe and steer it any way he wanted if it came to it.

  While walking and thinking about all this stuff Levi had reached home without even notig, smiling Levi walked in, “I am home.” he said as he removed his shoes and walked in.

  “Wele”

  “WELE”

  “wele brother”

  Three sounds greeted him as he walked in, he could see Sokka and Katara running around pying while his father reparing lunch, which Levi found weird. Usually it was his mother who did that, but it wasn't the first time so he just accepted it as he went and sat on the dining table.

  “I am going to wake up Mom.” said Sokka as he ran towards Kya's room.

  “No, I will get back here.” Katara ran after him anxiously trying to be the first to wake up her mother.

  Levi and Hakoda only ughed lightly at this.

  “So how was your training session with Master Tenzin.” asked Hakoda as he started putting the food oable.

  “It's like nothing has ged.” said Levi with a slight smile on his face, making Hakoda ugh iurn.

  “Mom, Mom wake up, lunch is ready.” Levi could hear Katara from the other room, apparently by some miracle she was the first to reach Kya.

  “So what do you pn to do from now on.” asked Hakoda, wanting to know his son’s pns.

  “Mooom, stop being so zy, e on, I'm hungry.” Sokka's pining voice reached them this time.

  “I don't know Dad, I am at a loss on what to do.” said Levi in a helpless tone, he really didn't know what he would do from now on.

  “Maybe I will….” Levi stopped mid-sentence as his heart sank to ro, an intense sense of foreboding assaulted him.

  ‘Something is wrong’ thought Levi as he kept hearing his siblings trying to wake their mom up.

  ‘By all logic she should have woken up already.’ he thought, no person could stay asleep after all that, he could even hear his siblings shaking her from over here.

  His father had also noticed something wrong, but before he could react Levi had already darted from the dining table and was in his parent's room where his mother was sleeping.

  His siblings voices had also started to bee choked, even though they were young and ihey weren't stupid, they had also noticed something was wrong.

  “Both of you get out.” said Levi in a calm tone.

  “But…”

  “NOW” both of them tried to retort before they were cut off by Levi’s shouting, sg them both as they got out, he had never raised his voi them before so this was quite a shock to both of them.

  Only Levi and Hakoda remained in the room looking at Kya's motionless body.

  They didn't eveo go near her and check, her skin had gone from its snow-white colour to a deep blue, as she y there on the bed, her body hard as a rock.

  Hakoda's hands a were shaking as he tried multiple times to speak but couldn't.

  Levi could only approach her shakily as he tried holding her hand with his shaking hand, the moment he held her his hand reflexively pulled back.

  It wasn't that he had felt pain, but the warm ale touch of his mother that he was used to wasn't there anymore, the only thing he felt was the cold and hard touch of her skin, he couldn't bring himself to link the two together.

  “How, how could this happen.” He could hear the choked voice of Hakoda from beside him.

  The strength in his legs left him as he fell on his knees, his fak, his mother, Kya, who had always loved and cared for him, who had worried for him the most, and who he had just reunited with, was dead.
