Avatar: The gamer

Contrary to what most would expect from a bender Levi didn't start with bending water instead he rushed directly at his opponent and started throwing fists and kicks his way.

"Oh, starting with close-quarter combat are we now." said Iroh with an amused tone as he parried every fist and kick with ease, he seemed surprised by Levi's style but he handled it just fine.

Levi tried everything in his arsenal, different moves, going faster, hitting with more strength but nothing worked, and Iroh hasn't even thrown a punch till now.

'Alright this isn't going to work, it was nice to see where I stand in the combat department though.' kicking Iroh's forearm with his leg Levi threw himself backwards in a backflip as he delivered a water attack right from the ocean on Iroh's blind spot straight at his face.

By all means, he shouldn't have been able to avoid it and it should have been a direct hit, but Levi was proven wrong as Iroh ducked down at inhuman speed and rushed towards Levi who was still in the air scaring the shit out of him.

Calming quickly thanks to his gamer's mind he erected an ice wall in front of him to block Iroh, Levi bought himself some breathing room before his danger sense suddenly flared.

'I can't keep going like this, I need to catch him off guard.'

Pretending that he didn't notice anything Levi kept looking to the left and right of the ice wall waiting for Iroh as his danger sense went crazy.

Suddenly he felt something moving behind him and he didn't have to look back to know who it was, 'How did he get there?.' Not having enough time to figure it out Levi mustered every bit of power he could drawing water from the ocean and also using the one on his person and submerging himself and his surroundings in it before completely freezing it and Iroh with him.

Tenzin, who was preparing tea on the side, looked at their battle only to see an ice ball with both Levi and Iroh frozen in it, with Levi in the front and Iroh frozen in a punching position behind him making him raise an eyebrow, he was clearly impressed by his student work, unfortunately, he wasn't impressed enough to abandon his tea making duty as he went right back to it.

Slowly the ice around Levi started to unfreeze and he easily got out of the ice prison before freezing his path again, but even then he knew that he didn't really win here, the moment Iroh decided to use fire bending which is something he never did till now it will be game over for him.

And unfortunately, that time seemed to be now as the water around Iroh started boiling at increasing speeds and spreading until half of the ice ball melted and he was free.

"Sigh, I give up." said Levi, raising his hands in the air in surrender, he could go on for much much longer but it wouldn't make a difference it'd still be the same, 'Plus I've already gotten what I wanted from this short spare.' thought Levi as he looked at the new notifications that popped up.

[Danger sense levelled up x1]

[Close-quarter combat level up x1]

[Water bending levelled up x1]

Sitting around a fire to warm themselves from the coldness of the sea breeze were Iroh, Tenzin and Levi all using big makeshift rocks as chairs, although only the previous two were really enjoying the fire, Levi's cold resistance was at a level where this level of cold didn't affect him at all.

In each of their hands was a steaming hot cup of tea with a teapot resting on the side. All of these were things Iroh brought with him.

Tenzin and Iroh seemed to be in a trance, they had their eyes closed in bliss as they sipped their tea, Levi was looking at both of them weirdly with a doubtful look on his face.

'Just how good is this tea?' he thought as he looked at his own cup he still hadn't tasted it yet, before deciding to use observation on it.

[A cup of superior-grade tea: Helps calm the mind, spirit, and body, increase Hp, Mp, and Sp regeneration speeds.

It can be used at the same time with the meditation skill for added benefits]

'Wow, I don't know how this is even possible but I am not gonna complain.' thought Levi as he started to value his gift of tea leaves more than before.

Taking a sip of tea Levi felt as it went down his throat and to his stomach spreading warmth everywhere it went before it spread into his entire body leaving a sweet aftertaste in his mouth.

"Sigh, this is heaven." said Levi out loud as he closed his eyes in bliss and the feeling, getting nods from both Iroh and Tenzin who didn't even open their eyes.

It wasn't long before they were all done as they put down their cups with regretful looks on their faces.

Turning towards his friend, Tenzin asked with what Levi could only discern as a victorious smile on his face, "So old friend, what do you think of my student."

"Sigh, he is exceptional I give you that, to tell you the truth I am quite jealous of you, it's hard to believe that he is just an 8-year-old." said Iroh as he looked at Levi.

Levi could see something else in his gaze other than admiration and he could guess what it was, 'They think I am the avatar.' he thought with complicated emotions surging inside of him.

He had come to that conclusion not long after Iroh showed up, he had also figured out what kind of company his master was keeping.

'He is part of the order of the white lotus.' That was what Levi deducted and he was mostly sure he was right due to several factors. First, his master was one of the oldest benders in the world right now and also one of the strongest, something that most members of the white lotus seemed to share, and with Iroh present that pretty much confirmed it.

The Order of the White Lotus, also known simply as the White Lotus, is an ancient and secret society that transcends the boundaries of the four nations, seeking philosophy, beauty, and truth. They are devoted to sharing ancient knowledge across national and political divides.

The organization has at times assumed the task of finding, training, and protecting the next Avatar, having done so following the death of Avatar Kuruk. A leader within the organization, such as Iroh, is known as a Grand Lotus.

'I am probably here to take some kind of test to confirm if I am the avatar or not, should I mess with them a little? .' thought Levi of whether to pretend he's the avatar to mess with them and also get some extra training and protection.

"As much as I hate to admit it, in front of the brat he really is one of a kind." said Tenzin agreeing with Iroh with a look as if he just ate a lemon.

'He really doesn't like to give compliments huh?.' thought Levi but he couldn't help but smirk and feel pride, who wouldn't when they're being praised by two of the strongest people alive?

But it seemed his happiness had gotten on his master's nerves as he said "I am doubling your training when we get back."

"What? But I didn't do anything." said Levi, more exasperated from the fact that he didn't do anything than the double training, with the system around he would be okay with even triple times or four times his current training.

They just chatted idly after that for some time before a wooden medium ship appeared on the horizon, the third member they were waiting for had arrived.

Can you guess who's coming
