"What's your deal?" Wang asked.
I was furious at the person who had burned the history section, leaving me to do a lot of math to calculate the date of the comet, which I already lacked data for. Wang was also angry at the same person, but for different reasons. We were on the same page. The only difference was that Wang couldn't leave his library to chase after that man. Me? Well…
"I'll bring you that man, alive, to your library," I declared, my voice firm. "And you'll give me another way to enter your library. I don't want to have to go to the desert and
Wang pondered for a moment. "You're powerful enough to take on a whole squad by yourself… Fair enough."
Learning how to gain more Chi would be useful to me.
But I didn't need Wang for that.
I could simply wait for the full moon or spend time in the ocean to increase my spiritual power, thanks to my Chi bending.
But if I found a way to increase it faster, I'd take it.
After all, I had fantasized about invading the Fire Lord's palace, threatening to do something unspeakable in front of his daughter unless he pulled his forces out, just to show him he wasn't the only psychopath around—and that anyone could be evil to him.
Aang wasn't wrong when he said, "Harming people is easy, but forgiveness is hard."
And I'm someone who loves to take the easy road.
I replied, "Well, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"I apologize for doubting your purpose," Wang said. "I see that you really are desperate to return here whenever you want."
Well, he wasn't lying.
To see bookshelf-sized shelves full of books—experience points—would be temptation enough for me. Millions of experience points were here. What would a few months of grinding be but an irresistible temptation?
"And I apologize if I crossed the line with my words," I said, giving a slight apologetic bow. "I didn't mean to be rude."
"Wait here," Wang said.
He flew away and returned with a scroll.
"You're a waterbender. Your people may not have the power to use lightning, but your element has spiritual applications. This is spirit waterbending. It helps you bond with both good and evil spirits and affects weaker spirits. It also allows you to connect with the Moon or Ocean spirits, if they like you. But never use this knowledge for evil, or else I will hunt you down personally."
Spirit waterbending? Didn't that refer to the method Korra's uncle used to manipulate spirits and calm evil ones down?
"Is it related to Yin-Yang applications?" I asked, taking the scroll from him.
"You've already got a good idea of that," Wang said. "Anyway, are you leaving now?"
"Yeah, I just need to do one more thing," I replied.
Now that I had an extra way to reach the library, I decided to do one more thing before leaving.
"Like what?" he asked.
"Experimenting with astrology. You know, I'm getting tired of having to rely on the sun or other people to find directions," I said, my words laced with hidden intentions.
