The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 77 The Days Without Kahn (Part 2)

Kahn was always quite popular in school.

Putting aside his outstanding appearance, in other aspects, Kahn is not only a powerful fire master, but also more mature than boys his age, giving people a sense of inexplicable trust.

His friendly yet unconventional behavior adds an extra layer of mystery to his character.

In addition, Kahn stood up for Collie and another girl in the class, scaring away the school bully who was bullying them. After that, the bully would avoid Kahn whenever he saw him, which made him even more famous at school.

For these reasons, it's not hard to understand why Kahn was so popular. Besides the fact that girls often confessed their feelings to him, even Kahn himself was unaware that he had a sizable fan club at school.

What he didn't know was that Terri was also a member of the support group, and even a high-ranking member.

To be honest, at the beginning, Terry also had some admiration for Kahn. After all, in her eyes, Kahn was someone who could directly confront Azura, and he was indeed impeccably excellent in every aspect.

But after learning that Azura also had a crush on Kahn, she struggled with the decision and gave up competing with Azura, instead settling back into the role of Kahn's friend and fan.

I'm sorry, Kahn, Azura is just too terrible, I don't want to die!

And so, Terry's first little crush ended quietly.

Getting back to the main point, although Terri is straightforward, it doesn't mean she's stupid. After realizing she might have said something wrong and caused trouble for Kahn, she honestly explained Kahn's situation at school while also trying to make amends for him:

"Don't worry, Azura, Kahn has never accepted any girl's confession. Besides, none of them are as good as you, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Not as good as me? Isn't that obvious?"

Azura responded dismissively, arms crossed.

She certainly wouldn't take those naive and ignorant girls seriously, but what if Kahn did something stupid?

Fortunately, Kahn has now graduated, and they will have more time together, making those guys' chances even slimmer.

But this also served as a reminder to her.

Kahn is undoubtedly outstanding, having caught her eye. It's only natural that he would be noticed by others. In any case, we can't let our guard down.

For the first time, Azura felt a sense of crisis.

Then she asked the two of them:

"Do you know what kind of person Kahn likes?"

May and Terri exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

Because Kahn often rejected confessions from girls at school, they were curious about this issue with him, but he always just said that they were too young and that they should talk about it later.

Children in this world mature very early. Leaving aside the younger children in school, many of them start trying to date when they are in the fifth or sixth grade, around eleven or twelve years old.

Mei and Zuko are typical examples around them, and Azura's current behavior is also quite normal.

Therefore, they couldn't understand Kahn's thoughts; they just felt that he was unwilling to talk about the issue.

Mei helplessly spread her hands and said:

"In this respect, Kahn is probably the most difficult person for us to deal with."

If Kahn knew their opinions, he would definitely cry foul, because that's really what he thought!

If they were sixteen or seventeen, that would be one thing, but dating a bunch of immature kids?

If he really had that thought, he would have turned himself in.

In short, after repeated defeats against Kahn, Azura couldn't help but feel frustrated, gritting her teeth as she said:

"I don't believe that guy is that difficult!"

Seeing Azura's appearance, May and Terry didn't dare to say anything. Although Kahn was indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary people, they both felt that Azura should perhaps look for the reasons within herself.

So the first day without Kahn came to an end. Despite some setbacks (related to Kahn), Azura, who had been active all day, still had a good night's sleep and a nice dream.

Life without Kahn doesn't seem so bad; it's actually quite nice.

however--

The next day, she continued to meet up with May and Teresa, but it was much less exciting than the first day.

On the third day, May and Teresa went to school, and she continued to be tormented by the teachers.

On the fourth day, she felt a little bored.

On the fifth day, Ao Zai casually mentioned Kahn, but she easily brushed it off, feeling a bit bored.

On the sixth day, I was bored and started missing Kahn. My hands were itching, so I used the excuse of reviewing to give my former Fire Mage teacher a good beating.

Day seven, boring.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had gotten used to acting with Kahn at some point.

It wasn't just because she liked him, but also because Kahn was a perfect match for her in every aspect, including strength, actions, and ideas—something even her own brother Zuko, father Aozai, and mother Ershu couldn't achieve.

Since Ershu's disappearance, their connection has become incredibly close, far beyond what others could imagine.

By now, their relationship can hardly be defined by conventional terms. For her, Kahn is undoubtedly the most special person.

In short, she would never allow Kahn to escape her grasp!

On the eighth day, I went to see Mei and Terry, but it was also very boring.

Day nine, very boring.

On the tenth day, Kahn was supposed to return today, so she dressed up carefully. But Kahn didn't come back after waiting all day. She wondered what had happened and how things had suddenly gotten out of control, which made her feel irritable.

On the eleventh day, Kahn still hadn't returned, and feeling extremely irritable, he gave Woolf a beating.

On the twelfth day, near dusk, Kahn finally returned!

"I thought someone was already lying dead in the street."

Azura could hardly contain her excitement, but she didn't want Kahn to see it, so she could only transform her excitement into passionate words, wrapping up her deepest emotions and turning them into a series of sarcastic and discontented statements.

By the time she came to her senses, all the steps were already completed, and the torrent of words caught Kahn off guard, almost overwhelming him.

Okay, I'm hopeless.

Seeing Kahn's bewildered expression, Azura wished she could slap herself to death, but it was too late for regrets now.

Fortunately, Kahn was already used to Azura's neuroticism. After realizing what was happening, he managed to subdue her with just one sentence.

"There's a new lead on Ershu's whereabouts."

Sure enough, as Kahn finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Azura uncontrollably recalled the woman she had often thought of over the years, her mother, Ershu, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

Her rationality returned instantly; she knew what was most important right now and what needed to be addressed later.

So she took a deep breath and calmly said:

Let's talk about it in detail.

I got dragged to karaoke again today. Let's see if I can finish another chapter later.

So, all the dissertation defenses in our department ended today. The results will probably be announced tomorrow. I'm starting to get scared.
