The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 2 My New Life After Time Travel

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

A clear and melodious night watchman's gong sounded outside the classroom door, signaling the end of the last class of the day. All the students stared expectantly at the teacher, waiting for him to give his final instructions.

Looking at the expectant eyes below, clearly showing they had no interest in learning, the teacher threw her textbook on the podium and snorted:

"get out of class dismissed!"

Goodbye, teacher!

The students stood up, bowed respectfully to the teacher, and then, like ducks just released from their cages, swarmed out of the classroom and headed towards a wider world.

"get out of class is over! get out of class is over!"

"Kahn, um, want to come play with us?"

"No, thank you."

"Kahn, I heard you're alright?"

"It's nothing, thank you for your concern."

Kahn was slowly packing his schoolbag, skillfully responding to his classmates' concerned looks. After leaving the classroom under the worried gazes of the children, he couldn't help but sigh:

This is so troublesome.

What happened in his family had obviously reached the school, and this is what happened after he was forced to return to school.

His classmates' care was undoubtedly a sign of kindness and friendliness, worthy of praise and commendation. However, he was no longer the same Kahn. Although he inherited the memories, he was unable to generate more emotions.

To his classmates, Kahn seemed to be still deeply affected by the tragedy, which made them even more concerned.

Kahn: ?

After packing his schoolbag, Kahn didn't go straight home, but instead headed to the school library.

It was the largest library besides the one inside the palace, and it was open to the school's students free of charge. It was the place Kahn had spent the most time in recently, and it could be said to be the only place he had given the school a positive review.

He had been in this world for several weeks, and the thing that shocked and frustrated him the most during this time was that the Fire Kingdom actually implemented six years of compulsory education, and children aged six to twelve were required to attend school for free.

Although his experience was regrettable, he was only nine years old and could not drop out of school. He was eventually called back to continue his studies.

Miserable!

However, if we're talking about what was truly tragic, it was definitely the beginning that was the worst.

In the first few days, Kahn was completely at a loss and in a state of chaos because all the servants in his house had been dismissed.

In order to conquer the world, the Fire Nation launched a world war nearly a century ago, a war that continues to this day. Under such circumstances, the management of the Fire Nation is all geared towards serving the war.

Both of his parents died, leaving him an orphan. According to the laws of the Fire Kingdom, he should be placed in the custody of the government, and his property should also be temporarily held by the government. Therefore, the maids and guards in his household were dismissed.

However, Kahn worried that many things would disappear while he was keeping them safe.

It's like the red envelopes your relatives gave you when you were a child.

Fortunately, his deceased adoptive father seemed to be doing well in the army and knew a powerful figure who protected him.

"Hey, Kahn!"

As he was walking down the street, a voice called out to him. Kahn turned around and saw a burly middle-aged man.

The man had long, gray hair, with bald patches at the front but thick hair elsewhere. His long hair connected to his large beard, giving him an imposing and dignified appearance.

What defines a bald male god? This is it.

The man grinned and waved to Kahn, appearing very amiable.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

This is the important figure who protected Kahn, Airo, the former general of the Fire Kingdom, his father's superior, and most importantly—he is also the current crown prince of the Fire Kingdom.

A very thick thigh.

As for why it's said that Ai Luo was the former Great General of the Fire Kingdom, it's because he has now been dismissed from his post.

For a full year, Ailo led the Fire Kingdom's army in a siege of Yonggu City, the capital of the Earth Kingdom, but failed to break through its defenses.

A year later, Airo finally breached the outer walls of Yongcheng, but his only son died on the battlefield.

The grief-stricken Airo ordered a retreat without authorization, marking an unprecedented defeat for the Fire Nation.

Before this, Ailo was invincible and feared by his enemies, who called him the "Dragon of the West." This defeat shattered his myth of conquest, shook the morale of the Fire Kingdom's army, and boosted the confidence of the Earth Kingdom and the Water Goodness Clan, who pressed their advantage and reclaimed several lost territories.

The news caused an uproar in the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Fire was forced to change its strategy, temporarily switching from offense to defense in order to boost morale.

So Airo stepped down.

Like Elo's son, Kahn's adoptive father also died in the war.

Kahn and Elo had only met twice. The first time was shortly after he transmigrated, when government officials came to temporarily confiscate his family's property and prepare to send him to an orphanage. Elo intervened and saved him.

The second time is now.

Kahn walked up to Elo and greeted him:

"Uncle Airo".

It wasn't that Kahn was deliberately trying to get close to him; it was Elo who made him call him that.

When they first met, Airo had messy hair, looked haggard, and with his gray hair, he looked like an unkempt old man. Kahn called him "Grandpa" out of politeness, which seemed to have a significant impact on him.

After Kahn learned of his identity, he addressed him as "Your Highness the Crown Prince," but Airo was not very satisfied with that, so he directly made him call him "Uncle."

"Long time no see! How's school life going?"

Airo greeted them with a smile.

Kahn replied, "The library is very good."

The others weren't very interesting.

Airo smiled and teased:

"Why are you walking alone on the street? Don't you have any friends at school? Or are you being isolated?"

No friends? Feeling isolated?

Kahn scoffed:

"I have a lot of friends in my class, but I still prefer to be alone; it's quieter when I'm alone."

He was telling the truth, but Airo felt that Kahn was just putting on a brave face. So, ignoring Kahn's protest that "his hair is going to be messed up!", he smiled and ruffled Kahn's hair, feeling a little guilty.

Kahn's father, Tate, was a soldier who followed him into battle and one of his few trusted confidants.

He felt guilty about his sacrifice, and since Kahn's mother had also committed suicide after being devastated by Tate's death in battle, Airo felt he had let them down, which is why he wanted to take good care of Kahn.

He had hoped that Kahn would spend more time with his teachers and friends after arriving at school and get over his trauma through his interactions with them, but it seems things haven't gone as planned.

Fortunately, I had other plans.

"Children should play with their peers more often. They can learn from each other and grow better. I brought a friend with me today."

Airo chuckled and stepped aside, and only then did Kahn notice a little boy who was being blocked by Airo's broad frame.

Airo explained:

"Let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Zukou. Zukou, say hello."

The boy greeted Kahn shyly and politely:

"Hello, my name is Zu Kou."
