Chapter 114 - Events and School

Years passed by since the birth of Norrak's first child, Aqua. And life continued to go on without any major surprises, except for some things that don't matter.

In the new AC calendar era for the Fire Nation, the country has experienced improvements in technology and economy, constantly raising its GDP every year.

Speaking of GDP, Norrak had taken the liberty of creating a new currency that is universal throughout the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Northern Water Tribe, and the South Water Tribe.

Those smaller countries or villages were the same, capable of using the currency.

The currency was based on the 1, 5, 10, and 100 American Dollar, because it's the most recognisable form of currency in Norrak's previous world, and because he can infinitely make it.

After all, with the infinite energy flowing into the ground, he has no worries about trees going extinct.

The most interesting aspect is that, due to the recycling crystal, the Fire Nation has an infinite energy supply, meaning Norrak did not need to spend money on purchasing energy for houses, vehicles, and other items that require energy to function.

Of course, Norrak is not giving infinite energy for free; every single month, each household has to pay a total of 500 Dollars to the new government, called the World Government, created by Norrak and Azula, located in the capital of the Fire Nation, relocated to where they live, being their mansion.

The amount of $500 was not substantial for the citizens at this point, as they had a decade to find new jobs or acquire new skills. This suggests that each household should be able to earn approximately $1,500 per month, even if only one person is working.

Everything had improved tremendously throughout the years. The scientists that Norrak had hired and taught were now skilled in their focused area, elevating science in the Fire Nation.

Schools had been built all around the country. 

Norrak ensured that everyone received an education and understood various subjects. Previously, education was accessible only to the wealthy and nobles.

Touch-screen phones are becoming a thing due to Norrak using his powers to send satellites into space with a 100% guarantee, and creating power lines and cables that carry infinite energy going through them to every household as power.

But the best thing to happen to the Fire Nation is the total revitalisation of the entire archipelago, connected by massive roots under the ocean, and wiht Toph and Katara's help.

Toph and Katara used their combined earthbending to move those islands and merge them with the mainland of the Fire Nation, creating a total landmass second only to the Earth Kingdom.

That is all the important thigns that have happened, with nothing else interesting, except maybe the balance of the world returning to how it was with the rebirth of spirits.

[The 15th year of the AC calendar...]

Inside an Elite classroom meant for the smartest kids, students sat at their tables, books on the table and pens in their hands, writing down what they needed to as they listened to the teacher.

"And our world, named as Earth by Lord Norrak, is constantly circling the sun for 365 days before a year passes!" The teacher said with awe on his face, even though he had learned this by now during his training days.

"Wow! Lord Norrak is a genius!"

"How did he find this out?"

"Is Lord Norrak a God?"

Whispers rang through the class, entering the ears of two special girls in the back of the room, sitting beside each other at the same table, their expression neutral, except for one.

"Augh! I already know this, when is school gonna end, it's bringggg!" 

Sitting in the back, resting her head on the table with a bored expression, a 10-year-old girl with light caramel coloured skin, deep blue eyes and long, shoulder-length white hair spoke under her breath.

"Father will not be happy if you do not write down what the teacher teaches,"

Aqua looked to the side with a childish frown, grumbling under her breath as a serious, and cute voice echoed in her ear. The voice came from another child, with Black Hair, Blue Eyes similar to ice, and fair coloured skin.

"Fameeeee~, I'll share my candy with you if you don't tell~," Squinting her eyes like a puppy, Aqua tried to convince her younger sister, who merely snered, looking away with disgust.

[Fame is pronounced, Fah-Me.]

"Father already promised me candy as long as I tell the truth, so unless you wanna be punished, you shall do the work," Fame looked away, finishing her talk as she started writing again.

Aqua froze, sweat sliding down her temple, before she turned it into a blur, her hand writing on the book like she was possessed by the Flash, instantly writing a bunch of science and stuff.

'Hmph! Foolish elder sister, I was kidding from the start! Father isn't giving me candy or anything like that. Instead, he is giving me money!'

A hidden smirk crept up onto Fame's cute face, a hint of successful cunning flashing through her icy p[upils as she continued writing in her book.

Soon, the time for science class ended.

"Alright, students. Make sure to do your homework of researching how long it takes for a cup of water to evaporate in sunlight for next week's class!" The teacher instructed the rushing students calmly.

Fame and Aqua placed their books and utensils in their small backpack before rushing out of the room at speeds faster than a car, leaving everyone behind, already used to their speed.

"First to get to the gate pays for food!" Aqua proposed with a challenging grin directed at Fame, her hands flailing behind her as she ran, leaning forward to increase her speed.

"Hmph, it's a childish game... But you are taken seriously!" Fame reeled wiht a glare, her speed suddenly increasing, shooting past Aqua, who grinned as she went full speed, catching up to her.

"I can see her!" Aqau looked at the gate, where a 32-year-old Katara, in the prime of her life, still looking 27 years old, stood wiht a hand on her hip, smiling as she watched them run.

Swoosh!

Aqua and Fame passed Katara, causing Katara's hair to flutter in the wind, as she turned around, watching the two come to a halt, before they turned to her with eager eyes.

"Who Won?!" 2x

Katra grinned, a mischievous light glinting in her eyes as she stepped forward, pressing a palm on each head, before rubbing gently.

"It was a draw~," Katara said in a sweet voice, smiling down at the two girls, who immediately frowned in disappointment.

"Don't look so down, today is pizza day, so daddy is going to cook for all of us," Katara said, taking a tiny hand in each of hers as she led Fame and Aqua towards home.

Along the way, many people greeted Katara from a distance, since Katara did not like it when people came up to her. After all, she was the second most famous person in the world; everybody knew her.

Shortly after, the three returned to a significantly larger mansion, which had been upgraded to a modern style, with guards constantly patrolling the perimeter.

Waiting at the gate was a 6'3 tall Norrak, with the same white hair, wild in a rugged, handsome way. Norrak had dark, tinted rimless glasses on, wearing dress pants, and a blue business shirt with the two buttons undone, smiling as he watched the three.

"Yo, welcome back~,"
