ALL NOVEL Sparky Sparky Boom Man’s Village
Right now, I'm on my way to learn Combustion bending, one of the specialized bending styles from the show.
Before even I learned about my love for explosions, this was the first milestone of my path. At the time, I would rather learn lightning bending or redirection, but unfortunately, those were techniques specially guarded by the royals and I didn't have a close royal friend who would teach me. I didn't bother trying to learn myself either because it's indeed an extraordinary skill.
Yeah. I'm not frying myself, trying to learn how to shoot sparks out of my fingers. No, thanks buddy.
Though if I still can't find a proper teacher by the time I'm a master level firebender, I will start teaching myself. Master level should be enough for me to not kill myself at least.
I sighed as I petted my cute Shursui mount, Zuko, in the head as he kept walking at a fast pace.
Why did I sight? Because in about 10 minutes, I will have to get him into my inventory and climb a fucking mountain.
Yeah.
Contrary to what many people think, the place where the combustion tribe lives in isn't a secret to the nobles of the Fire Nation.
There is no way Fire Lord would let such people disappear from his eyes. They are simply 'hidden' because they want to be and the previous fire lord respected their wishes (as an exchange, they have to help the fire nation in case things get too troublesome).
That's how Prince Zuko hired 'Sparky Sparky Boom Man' to kill the avatar. It backfired though.
It seems like, despite having the wisest man of the world beside him, whatever he did always backfired him.
''That's rough buddy.''
Poor prince.
Anyway, it's not like the combustion tribe can live in a normal place. They love explosions and they practice them daily. That's mostly why they live in an abandoned mountain.
Even now, I can feel the tremors.

I hope C+ Strength and B+ Vitality will be enough for me to climb the mountain. Now that I think of it, despite strictly being a long range fighter, Combustion man was ripped as fuck as well.
'I'm ripped too. Just not that much.'
I pet Zuko one last time, give him some snacks and prepare myself for the mountain.
-
'This is hell.'
If they turn me down after I finish climbing this mountain, I swear to fucking God, I will kill them all. Not today, maybe not tomorrow. But when I'm strong enough.
Gamer's Mind.
I once again use Gamer's mind. Muting the screams of my tired muscles and lungs is surprisingly helpful. Who would have thought?
''UGHHH!''
Acting like a caveman and screaming weirdly gives strength. Things to note.
I quickly take out a water bottle and gulp it all down my throat as soon as I land on a steady ground.
I did it.
7 hours.
7 FUCKING HOURS!
Maybe they aren't actually reclusive. It's just they are trapped in that fucking mountain and they can't leave. Only the strongest like sparky sparky boom man can leave. Maybe this is like a test of your manliness. Every boy has to go down at some age, if they die, they simply die.
If it wasn't Gamer's body and mind, I simply couldn't do this shit in a single day.
'Ugh, enough complaining.' I shut up my snarky and bitchy side
Since I had nothing else to do (thanks to the Gamer's mind, I could think properly despite being tired) I thought on what to do later.
My path was actually pretty clear. The plan I made based on the Neet's memories was pretty fucking solid in my opinion.
After Combustion bending, I would go to the Jeong Jeong. My style is mostly on attacking first. Pretty common for firebenders.
But Jeong Jeong was a master at defense. A rare firenbending master who specialized in defense. Learning from him and covering my weak spot (lack of defense skills) would make me a master (I hope)
Then go ahead and learn from dragons. That should put me into the pinnacle, right?
After that, I would try to find the immortal master of Kyoshi, Lao Ge.
I would even drink the disgusting banana soup and try to open my chakra points. Though I doubt I could give up my emotions. They are what makes me who I am. What is even the purpose of living if I don't have any emotions, no ambitions, no desires?
Well, I will see what comes then.
But, I can't help but think Learning Dragon Dance wouldn't make me a pinnacle level master.
After all, despite learning the Dragon Dance, Zuko could win against Azula only because she was already in her full crazy state. Her world broke down, only friends she had betrayed her and everybody either hated or feared her.
I need to create my own specialized bending styles. That's what will make a pinnacle master.
I have many things that come to mind, but the most possible one is Lightbending.
Neet used to read a novel called 'Everyone else is a returnee.'
In that novel, Michael, the right hand of God was acting like a God after stealing a part of his power. But after losing 'His' power, he forged himself anew power. He refined his mastery of fire to such degree, he became a bonafide, full God through Light. His power of fire became the power of Light.
I. Want. That.
Imagine shooting at the speed of light? Creating illusions through light and many other shit. Shit nobody has ever seen before.
Fuck, I'm trembling from excitement now.
Apart from Lightbending, I was also thinking of photon bending. Theoretically, it's possible. But it's much higher than Lightbending. It's massless so always travels at the speed of light and some even call it the origin of light.
But, no. I'm not going into that. Knowledge of this neet was just something he learned in school. I don't trust his limited knowledge of such complicated and dangerous matters. Lightbending is fine but what he knows about photons is very surface level knowledge. I can't do shit with that.
'Oh, here they are.'
I raise my both hand to the air in a pacifistic manner. I'm here to learn their art as a stranger, let's not make any enemies for no reason.
''I come in pea- HOLY FUCK!'' I barely dodge an explosion and dispel the heat before it reaches me.
YOU LITTLE SHIT! Don't attack anybody you see for no fucking reason!.. Okay, I'm trespassing to your lands but still!

[An: I realized only after finishing the chapter, but holy fuck this is like 70% info isn't it? I'm sorry about that.]
[An: Also, this is AU, as you can imagine. Worldbuilding of Avatar is beautiful, but it's not the main focus of the story so there are some sloppy parts of it. Normally, Combustion bending isn't something you can learn but something that manifests itself when you are a child. But if it's like that, then why do the only 2 combustion bender people we know have the same tattoo on their foreheads? Does it suddenly appear on itself when you are a child, shifting and coloring your skin? Doubt it. It must be something that can be taught, an ancient tribal power (to go along with the tattoo). So, I changed it and made it into a tribe power. A bending style rather than the bloodline power. (It's also the only bloodline power we see in show, I think. Other bending styles can be used by anyone with enough practice and talent if I remember correctly. But, combustion bending is like a bloodline power that shows up randomly during childhood. That makes no sense. What makes combustion bending or the people using it so special?) Anyway, this is AU for the sake of Worldbuilding and I really wanted him to learn combustion bending lol. He can't learn it if it's a special power for lucky people. I think it makes more sense this way anyway. Thanks for reading.]
