19 Chapter 19

Chapter 19:

Jiran's personality is really, really erratic. On the first day she met him, Jiran was rowdy, almost the same as her but each time and on any different occasion his personality moved and changed.

She saw him become a brute, rowdy and engaging, then suddenly he would become sage-like, and then the next moment he would become a righteous savior, and then as if changing with the season he would become murderous.

It's really hard to predict his nature, up until now Korra still doesn't know if the personality Jiran is showing is his real one or not, but regardless of all of that, it doesn't change the fact that she likes him.

And like the changing breeze of the wind, Jiran's attitude once again changed. His looks now sported a cold and nonchalant look as he gazed at the two brothers.

Suddenly the two of them felt the air in the gym change, the heat; not the actual heat but the metaphorical one rising to an unprecedented degree as Jiran looked at the two of them with aloof eyes.

"Miss Asami, why don't you become our referee?" He asked with a subtle smile making Asami unconsciously nod.

"Sure thing,"

"A pleasure," Then he turned his head back to the two and gestured.

"And Korra, you should join too, it would give me better grasp of yours and the Fire Ferrets chemistry"

Korra stepped in and also joined. Then with the three complete, Jiran lowered his stance and waved.

"Come"

With that signal, the sparring started. Bolin was the first one to mave as he stomped his down to the ground lifting the stone plate up from the ground.

Earthbenders fighting in Pro-bending arena can't bend the earth beneath them as that would destroy the arena they're fighting in and that would be really unfair, that's why earthbenders were provided with stone plate to bend.

And that's exactly what Bolin hurled towards Jiran.

"Hup!" Hup! "Hup!"

After stomping his foot in the ground, three stone plates were lifted then he started punching in the air three times sending the stone plates to Jiran with terrifying speed.

However despite that speed, it was still too slow to even catch a hem of Jiran's robe. He swerved to the side, and then to the left and then to the right dodging all of the stone plates.

And then he pushed his palm open and produced a strong pushing wind that struck Bolin open sending his skidding all the way to the other side of the gym.

Jiran didn't just end that, after pushing Bolin he lifted his feet up smoothly from the ground and kicked, that kick sending a spiraling wind to Korra and Mako.

"I'll disperse the wind!" Korra shouted as she bends the water on the drum on her side.

She then reshaped that water into a whip and used it to strike down the approaching wind from Jiran.

Mako didn't let that given opportunity go as he shot a fireball out of his fist.

The wind was successfully disperse but that doesn't mean they got the win. Without even a second after the wind was dispersed successfully another one followed, this time it didn't travel a linear path from Jiran's direction towards them, instead it sprung up from the ground like a dune worm.

Mako was the one to be caught by a swirling tornado of wind, as the man was lifted up from the ground and slammed into the ceiling.

Of course he didn't forget Korra as he motioned his hands in a pulling motion, as if pulling a curtain towards him. Immediately after that action a strong wind pressure slammed against Korra slamming her down to the ground.

"Now, ready for round 2?" Jiran just defeated the three within 30 seconds. Not even thirty but fifteen seconds to be exact.

Defeating an ordinary bender is one thing but defeating the avatar and two expert benders with years under their experience under twenty second is another thing.

This was the guy that made Amon run for his money. An airbender that only Avatar Aang could probably hold a candle against.

Mako, Bolin, Korra and even Asami were all left with their mouths agape. How can they be defeated in such a short time? They know that Jiran is strong but not "that" strong.

And furthermore, Korra was trained ever since she was four by the White Lotus, but despite having professional training under her belt she was handed down like a child.

Mako's pride was hit too. Yes, he could understand that Jiran was probably stronger than him but he didn't expect that he would be this strong. And worse yet, his girlfriend Asami was there to witness his defeat.

Bolin wasn't doing any better either, he acted cocky and arrogant towards Jiran but now, he was eating his own words.

"What is this? Is this how fragile you all are? Just this simple defeat enough to break you all?" Jiran ridiculed.

"Stand up and show me what you got! Because if that was all you could do then I evaluated you all too high!"

They were woken up from their sulking and sported a resolute face. Now they would face him

"GUAAAAAHHHH!!" Bolin didn't manage to handle his fragile ego and stood up, kicking five stone plates towards Jiran. This time he actively controlled their trajectory making all of them spread out so that Jiran can't dodge easily.

"Your tactics are very crude" The airbender spoke, then with a simple pump of his fist down to the ground he levitated up.

"You didn't take in consideration that I'm an airbender, agility is my domain, no matter how much you try to hurl stones at me I could easily dodge it" Jiran dodged the stone plates which passed under him.

Then he landed on the ground and stomped his foot, hardly creating an arched wave that struck Bolin once again.

"Work together and find a way to corner me! Use your head!"

Seeing his brother be handed down once again, Mako stood up from the ground and straightened his fire bending stance, he looked at Korra and gave her a nod.

He slashed down his hands generating a fire slash, then Korra worked in tandem with him and waterbended a wall of ice behind Jiran so that he couldn't retreat backward.

Seeing that Jiran was finally cornered they sported a smile.

"Hup!" But, such effort was not enough. The airbender pushed his palm left and right and then from that motion a circular dome of densely packed wind spreaded out and rendered both of their attacks useless.

The two could only gawk at him. No matter how much they do Jiran dispels their attack effortlessly.
