Their home was lovely with its wooden floors, white walls, and the archway leading into the room. There was a massive wooden table in the middle of the room with Tenzin at its head. Korra spotted me and waved on the other side, signaling Tenzin to turn around. Our eyes met, and fury flashed across his face before he regained composure.

"Good morning. Are you certain you want to watch Korra's training? It's going to appear boring to an outsider. And if you are to join us, I demand that you wear traditional air bending robes. No sunglasses are allowed."

Korra picked up a slice of fish with her chopsticks and threw it at me. I appeared beside her holding her fish in a pair of chopsticks set out beside her. She stared at the fish in shock before I offered it to her.

"You'll need your strength. When I trained with my former teacher, I would always get hungry hours before lunch." I said.

Tenzin brought a shaky cup to his lips and took a drink. "Did a spirit teach you?" Jinora said. 

"What's your name, young lady?" I asked.

"Jinora, and it's rude to ask a question with another question."

I pondered her words for a second. "Then I apologize. My teacher wasn't a spirit, but she learned from one. So, in a roundabout way, I did."

"How do you do it?" Korra asked.

"The same as you. I walked around the table, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and caught the fish just as it left your pair. From my perspective, when I move like that, the world around me slows down until it's almost standing still. When you threw that fish, I had all the time in the world to pick up the chopsticks and catch it." I said.

"Can you teach me?" Ikki asked

"Yea, I would like to learn too," Korra said.

"I could start you on the basics and see how it goes." I looked up at Tenzin. "With your permission, this is your home, your student, and your children," I said.

"No, Korra must focus on learning Air bending, and Ikki isn't ready to split her focus."

"But Tenzin," Korra said.

I patted her on the arm. "There isn't a time limit, and you can't focus on air bending if you're completely exhausted. I need to develop a lesson plan and run them by Tenzin. You and Ikki would be the first I've ever taught, and my master is no longer here to answer questions."

"Oh," Ikki bowed. "I'm sorry for your loss." I waved it away.

"Don't be; it was years ago." The image of a reptilian Kaiju ripping open her house, a flash of teeth, and the sounds crunching dampened my spirit.

"Hey, open your mouth," Korra said, and when I opened it to ask why she shoved a piece of fish into it. I chewed it, enjoying the sweet, caramelized skin that went well with a morning breakfast.

"I thought air nomads were vegetarians," I said.

"Korra insisted on fish in the morning," Penma said.

I opened my system store app and purchased a Red Pill, one of the sources of my powers. Time seemed to stretch until seconds passed like hours and my memories plagued me.

When I wasn't on vacation, the system gave challenges and rewarded me with pills. Red increased my strength, blue my speed, green my regeneration, and my potential in those categories. They were the foundation of my power. Without them, I would have died in my first world in my battles against the gods. They weren't gods but powerful kaiju who constantly absorbed a substance called qi. It was only through my master's potion-making expertise that I could add the power of the gods to myself. From the flesh of the gods, I was made stronger until the pantheon attacked.

Once, pills were a struggle to come by. But my fortunes had changed with hot elven women and a system-wide only fan. I had the SP (Stylish Points) to buy pills. But, of course, there were diminishing returns.

Now, I had the strength of a skyscraper-sized kaiju in human form, a PL of 1000. I had enough flesh from multiple gods, the knowledge of potions, and ingredients to make three individuals like me. But that was the power I earned and not something I could just give away. After consuming the power of multiple gods, adding more no longer gave me an increase. When I hit the PL of 1000, I had reached my limit.

There were tools to further increase my power through more advanced cultivation methods. I could go further, and learning spellcraft was another avenue. Advanced cultivation techniques were sold at 100s of millions of SP at the low end. Instead of chasing the next level, I decided to go on vacation. Maybe I would take Korra with me when I went on to the next world.

I held the pill and slipped it into my inventory. There was an unspoken taboo against giving the pills to those not affiliated with the system. Giving them to Korra could one day make her my equal. While I wasn't scared of that, other system users wouldn't tolerate it. If they ever found out, they would put a bounty on our heads. Teaching her cultivation is okay, but not the pills, even though the pills were useless to me. I could take a thousand red pills and never grow even stronger.

Time returned to normal, and a small smile spread across my face. I sat beside Korra and enjoyed her presence. Tenzin looked completely unnerved by my latest revelation. By the look in his eyes, he wondered what kind of monster had entered his home. I couldn't think of a way to reassure him other than being a gracious guest.

"Oh, I'm sorry, would you like some tea?" Penma asked. 

"Don't get up on my account, miss."

"You can call me Penma, and it's no trouble; the baby isn't coming yet." The heavily pregnant woman said.

"Jinora, could you help your mother," Tenzin said.

"Really, I don't need any help."

I thought about just getting it myself, but that would also be rude and could leave a bad impression. Korra seemed happy to let Penma get up and do things, and Tenzin didn't move a muscle. I concluded it must be a cultural thing and decided not to get into it. As a citizen from the deep south of the United States, I had several gallons of sweet tea in my inventory. But having my own food seemed rude, too; it was like saying your tea wasn't good enough. Really, I should have said no to the tea.

Now I was in a situation that I couldn't escape from, and the more I focused on it, the longer it lasted. My damn superhuman perception was working against me. The woman stumbled on the seat behind her, and poor Jinora looked so small compared to her falling pregnant mother. I gently corrected her balance and heard Jinora sigh in relief.

"I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but would you mind if I got the tea myself."

"While you're up, could I have some," Korra asked with her cup up.

I refilled everyone's cup, including Korra, and managed to fill mine halfway with the remainder. Afterward, I followed everyone's example, smelled the tea, and took a slow sip. To my preternatural senses, I could smell the earth where the tea had grown, the land it traveled through, and even traces of the kitchen pantry where it waited. On my tongue, I tasted the life-giving nature of the sun, the sweetness of spring rain, and the nurturing depth of the earth.

"This is good tea, Penma," Korra said.

I nodded and relaxed a little while the day hadn't gotten off on the best foot; watching Korra train would be fun. I might get some spell work training in with it.

"Could I try on your glasses?" Ikki asked.

"Ikki, that's rude; you shouldn't ask our guest such questions," Tenzin said.

I would have let her try them on, but going against Tenzin's authority wouldn't endear me to the family. On the other hand, indulging her might ingratiate his family to me. Tenzin could very well see me as a dangerous unknown. Until he had a feel for me, I needed to show that I wasn't a danger.

"That's alright," I took off my glasses and held them out to her. Her eyes practically sparkled when she saw my eyes. My glowing blue eyes were on full display to the rest of the family. They were a sign that I had surpassed the mortal limit and reached truly inhuman heights.

Tenzin coughed in his hand. "I see why you wear those; they would draw attention."

"What are all these weird kanji?" Ikki asked.

"Those are called letters, and they're phonetic. So you can use them to sound out any word once you know them. Some numbers display how much qi an individual has. I can also use them to put a marker on a place, and the glasses will show me the direction of that marker no matter where it is in this world."

"I would also like to take a look," Tenzin said.

I nodded. "No fair, I only just started looking," Ikki said.

"Do you have any other cool gadgets?" Korra asked.

"I have a few fur coats that can absorb sunlight, a slash-proof T-rex skin, a 9ft long sword, lots of food, and 9 barrels of tea."

"Does the absorbed sunlight make the furs warmer? What's a T-rex, and why is your sword 9ft?" Ikki asked.

"You aren't going to ask about the food or tea."

"Nope," Ikki said.

"Do you have any books?" Jinora asked.

"A small library of them but none in kanji. I can't read that." I said.

"Do spirits read with letters then?" Jinora asked.

"What does a number beside another number mean?" Tenzin asked.

"Numbers normally go from 1 to 9, and at 10, we add a 0 at the end of the number. So 9 10s would be 90. Since you're looking at me, you probably see my number. It's 1000, while most benders go from 10 to 50 in the case of Korra. You shouldn't worry about it; numbers rarely mean what you think they do. I'm not stronger than 20 avatars.

If Korra had my level of qi, she could earth bend continents out of the planet, air bend away the atmosphere, fire bend the sun, and water bend distant comets. Even if I was mad, the most I could do is break a mountain or two with my fists." I bumped into Korra's shoulder. "Bending can be pretty scary when you put a higher number behind them."

I was underselling myself while still letting them know I'm very dangerous. A planet was really big, and while I could life wipe this world, it would be over time. While I could kill every human with my fist, I would probably just destroy things with light beams. I could use 4 strong, 40 medium, or 400 weak ones per day, and then I could spend my vacation alone and bored.

"Was your teacher a bender?" Penma asked.

Her words snapped me out of my morbid thoughts. "Sort of; she could bend light," I said.

That wasn't even a lie. Her village focused on manipulating light. The power came from their forest god, a giant reptilian kaiju fused with trees. 

"I've never heard of benders of any element besides the four," Tenzin said.   

I nodded in agreement. "I haven't met anyone in this world with that power either."

Tenzin frowned before returning my glasses to me. "You may wear them if you want to, but I still request that you wear a traditional air acolyte robe. You too, Korra." Tenzin said.
