Chapter 59: 59 - Levi vs Aang
An: Before you read I suggest you go check the end of chapter 52, Levi had a quest to find his way back home and I forgot to write the rewards for it until now, just check the bottom of chapter 52.
Ps: The above message was mostly for my patreon subscribers, but I didn't remove it just in case.
Ps2: Leave me your stones, you dirty miners.
Ps3: No the status didn't take words from the chapter count, there is like 2.8k words pure chapter word count plus about 1.1k status words.
Enjoy.

A sky bison was swimming in the ocean with half its body submerged underwater, the top half had a big saddle on it with four people on top, they were Levi and his two siblings plus the over energetic avatar who couldn't stop asking questions. Levi considered whether it would have been better to have left him frozen.
Although Levi was surprised Appa could handle the cold freezing waters of the South Pole as he swam in it naturally as if he was swimming in warm spring water, although seeing Katara and Sokka can also swim in them, why can't he?
"What about your brother, why is he so quiet." he heard Aang ask but he chose to ignore it as he continued laying there with his eyes closed and hands behind his head, this was his rest time and he'll be damned if he let anyone ruin it.
"He…he isn't the talkative type." he heard Katara reply with an awkward tone of voice, "Although Sokka more than makes up for it."
"HEY!!."
"Anyhow…."
Levi filtered them out as he decided to look at his status window with his eyes closed, he found this to be quite a relaxing activity, plus it gave him a lot of satisfaction seeing his progress.

To say he had gotten stronger would be an understatement, even the clothes he was wearing right now were weighted clothes he had bought from the system, they just looked like southern water tribe clothes.
Some of his skills and abilities had directly reached max level at level 10 or 20 making him unable to level them up anymore, as for others they just kept going, Levi had a feeling that level 100 would be the cap for them too.
His luck had also increased on its own for some strange reason, Levi theorized that it had something to do with him becoming stronger, after all if you're strong enough bad luck will have no effect on you.
And aside from the increase in his stat points and level he had also discovered something, his spirit body had never stopped leveling up!
He had thought that while he was in his physical form and outside of the spirit realm his spirit body would stop leveling up but he was wrong, and it leveled up even faster when he used its sub-abilities.
Although he didn't gain any new sub-abilities from his spirit body the ones he already had got stronger, and he had a feeling that he wasn't far from gaining new ones.
Needless to say the current Levi was leagues above his past self, but he was still not content, not to mention other worlds, just in the spirit realm he was sure there were endless foes he couldn't put a fight against, and so he needed to get stronger, way much stronger.
Thinking of the spirit realm Levi couldn't help but remember his mother as he sighed, he had tried endlessly during the past years to contact her but he failed, it was like her spirit had disappeared altogether, in the end, he could only give up.
"We're here." he heard Katara say as he opened his eyes, they were back to the Southend water tribe.
The red dragon stayed on the shore below water as a guard while Acnologia went to do his own stuff, which most likely involved stuffing his stomach so Levi didn't bother with him.
***
On the outskirts of the southern water tribe, Levi stood some distance away watching Aang interact with the villagers alongside Sokka and Katara, Tobirama was standing to his right with his arms crossed as he observed Aang with a not-so-friendly gaze.
"Are we still not going to do anything?" asked Tobirama.
"What do you suggest we do?."
"I think we should eliminate the threat while we have the chance, we don't know what he might do later on," said Tobirama.
"That's not an option, he's …he's important to future events," said Levi vaguely not wanting to delve deeper into his future knowledge.
Hearing him Tobirama could only sigh and concede, he knew that Levi, using one way or another, had knowledge of the future so he didn't argue about it with him.
Levi could see Katara talking with Aang as they both looked at him, he couldn't hear what they were saying but from Katara's sparkling eyes and Aang's surprised face it didn't take a genius to figure it out.
Soon Aang ran towards him at inhuman speeds only an airbender could achieve, except him and Tobirama of course, before abruptly stopping in front of them.
"Hey, Levi right? I Was just talking with Katara and she said you're an amazing water bender." asked Aang with stars shining in his eyes.
He knew what Aang was after, he was the avatar so he was naturally curious about and wanted to learn bending other elements, and who was better to teach him than someone who already mastered it?
'Am I going to become the avatar water-bending teacher?' Levi couldn't help but think.
"Why do you ask? Fancy a spar?" said Levi with a slightly playful smirk on his face.
"Hehe bring it on." said Aang in excitement as he jumped around warming up, Levi could tell that he wasn't taking him seriously, or maybe he was just overconfident in his own skills. Not that he blamed him, the bald guy was stronger than most people shown in the show
***
On the white expense of snow somewhere near the Southern water tribe, Levi and Aang stood far facing each other ready for battle, although the atmosphere wasn't all that tense as it was only a spare.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen the moment you've all been waiting for is here we have…." Sokka screamed at the top of his lungs in a commentator's tone of voice before he suddenly choked as he saw Levi glaring at him.
"AHEM, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, BEGIN," screamed Sokka as he brought his hand down signifying the start of the spar.
Unfortunately for Sokka, it didn't go as he had expected in a straight show of bending powers and abilities instead both opponents started talking to each other.
"I'll try to go easy on you ok!." said Aang.
"._." Sokka.
"._." Katara.
"._." Levi.
"._." Acnologia.
"HAHAHAHA." Levi couldn't help but laugh out loud, not able to hold it as Sokka and Katara smiled with a weary expression, with Katara feeling sorry for Aang.
"I don't know if I should be offended or thank you Aang, I haven't laughed like that in a long time," said Levi as he controlled his laughter, and he meant every word of it.
He couldn't help but laugh at how absurd what Aang just said was, but he couldn't really blame the young avatar, he didn't know any better.
Aang could only stand there with a confused look on his face as he scratched the back of his head with an awkward look not understanding everyone's reaction.
"Alright be prepared I am making my move." said Levi but he could see Aang was still not taking his warning seriously.
So Levi decided to start off with a bang, he'd make sure the young avatar remembered this moment.
Activating Limit breaker for a split second Levi saw the world around him slow down, no matter how many times he used it he couldn't get over the high it gave him, he even thought of dozens of scenarios and possibilities of how this fight could play out and how to solve it, all of that in barely a second.
Aang was just about to start bending air when Levi who was just in front of him disappeared as if teleported.
Aang was startled for a second before feeling the air behind him shake as his skin started crawling, he quickly turned around and waved his hand at the incoming punch of Levi, but it still wasn't enough to undo the power of Levi's punch as Aang was sent flying backwards.
Flipping in the air, Aang landed on the ground with the grace of a bird barely making a sound, but his eyes were wide open in shock and disbelief.
"How, how did you move that fast?." asked aang incredulously, he couldn't fathom how a human being could move so quickly, even if he used air bending he didn't think he could get close to that speed.
"So? Still underestimating me?" asked Levi with a smirk on his face, but he decided not to use limit breaker for the rest of the spare.
He didn't want to give the little guy a scare, and worst of all he didn't want to push him into the avatar state, not that he couldn't handle it but it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Aang now had a serious look on his face as he took a fighting stance unlike his earlier relaxed one, taking a deep breath in, he swung his glider towards Levi.
Levi couldn't see anything but his danger sense was prompting him to move, it wasn't anything intense so it meant that even if he was hit he wouldn't suffer that much damage, it wasn't the same for other people though.
'I could see how troublesome fighting an Airbender can be.' thought Levi as he moved out of the way.
Unlike the other elements air is invisible, and coupled with an air-bending master like Aang it was no wonder that few could stand against him in the show.
One basically had to rely on their danger senses and promotion to dodge, which was almost impossible for most people.
"GOO LEVI, KICK HIS ASS." screamed Sokka at the top of his lungs from afar.
"Hey watch your mouth," said Katara with an annoyed look on her face with her hands on her waist.
Levi ignored them as he started speeding towards Aang who was constantly firing air currents at him.
At first, it was coming at a steady pace but soon Aang started to panic as he saw Levi effortlessly dodge his attacks while getting closer and started firing faster and faster before jumping so high up and back it looked like he was flying and pulling some distance between them.
Levi, who still hadn't used any water bending from the beginning of the match until now decided that it was about time, jumping up the snow under his feet turned into water and carried him towards Aang at high speeds.
Aang wasn't flustered as he swung his glider at the ground pushing a wave of snow in Levi's direction.
Levi only smiled at this, he could see right through Aang, thus was merely a distraction, moving his had the snow wave moving his way got instantly compressed into the ground as if the gravity acting on it increased by a hundred folds all of a sudden, and as he expected Aang wasn't behind it, he was nowhere to be seen.
'Two can play this game of deception.' thought Levi as he pretended to look around for Aang trying to locate him.
But he already knew where he was, where could an air bender sneak attack from except from the air?
Using his ethereal force Levi used it to perceive around him and he immediately found Aang above him, his range was so vast in fact that he could even perceive Sokka and Katara some distance away while also feeling underground.
Directing ethereal force into his legs Levi suddenly looked up so fast he startled the poor airbender before he jumped.
Aang tried to evade but Levi extended his hand as he extracted water from the air and gathered it into his right hand forming a long water tentacle that wrapped around Aang and his glider before solidifying into ice.
Just as both of them started to fall down, snow rose up from the ground under Levi's precise control and slowed down their descent until they landed.
Aang took a deep breath and was ready to blow air at Levi from his mouth when he was shocked by what he saw next.
"I suggest you give up now kiddo." said Levi in an arrogant tone as he conjured fire on his palm threatening to shoot at him.
Levi had thought about it a lot before deciding to show him his fire bending, he was bound to learn about it sooner or later so why hide it?
Seeing this scene, Aang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"You…you…." Aang stuttered, not managing to form a full sentence before he finally calmed down and hung his head low.
"I've lost," he said in a helpless tone as he stared at Levi with a complicated expression.
"Hehe, don't sweat it kid, that tends to happen when people meet me, I am just built different." said Levi in an arrogant tone as he waved his hand and melted the ice-binding Aang.
"That was awesome brother you kicked his ass." Said Sokka as he came running and put his hand on Levi's shoulder.
"Indeed," said Katara bitterly, she couldn't wait to be able to do that, to have as much control and mastery of water as Levi did.
"It's ok Aang, my brother is the avatar after all, you did way better than a lot of people in the tribe," said Katara comforting Aang as she picked him up.
Aang had a stupid look on his face as he nodded absentmindedly while blushing before finally coming back to his senses, "He's the what now?." he said as he looked between Katara and Levi.
"Hahah, you heard that right baldy, he's the avatar so you better watch your tone when you talk to him," said Sokka with a proud look and a finger pointed at Aang.
"Hahaha y…yes," said Aang stuttering, to say he was confused would be an understatement.
But he was sure of one thing, even if he didn't want it, even if he wished what the siblings were saying was true, but he knew it wasn't, he knew that he was the avatar. As for how Levi could bend fire that was beyond him.
***
Aang pov
'What a monster.'
'I've never thought a human could become so powerful'
'I have a feeling that even in my past lives I had never encountered something like that, I was sure of it.'
'And worst of all, It seemed that he was still holding back, a lot!' thought Aang as they walked back into the tribe.
He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe what had just happened even though he knew it was real.
He felt like he was prey waiting to be slaughtered and he wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. If he had any pride as an avatar before it was shattered at this moment
And above all else, he could use fire bending, he didn't know how he did it but he did, what he had once thought to be impossible was proven wrong right before him! The avatar wasn't the only one who could use other elements!
For some strange reason he couldn't help but feel as if the weight of a mountain was removed from his shoulders, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
He had thought that as the avatar only he had access to other elements but he was proven wrong today, and for some strange reason he was more than okay with it.
