"When did Zuko and that little girl Azula beco so close that they would go around pulling pranks together?!"
A day later, after attending a eting in the palace, Iroh received surprising news.
He excitedly shared this gossip with Kahn when he returned ho, his face full of astonishnt.
Kahn, who already knew the inside story, suppressed a smile and asked Iroh:
"And then, what happened to them?"
"Azula was fine, but Zuko was pitiful."
"He was punished with a month of confinent."
Iroh clicked his tongue.
Ozai's unequal treatnt was quite obvious.
Kahn also silently mourned for Zuko for three seconds.
What an unlucky child.
This had been Azula's requirent for Zuko: that he pull a prank in the palace together with her.
Heaven help him, the kind-hearted Zuko had never pranked anyone before.
On the contrary, he was often the one being pranked by Azula.
When he heard this request, Zuko was quite resistant.
However, in the end, driven by his desire to find out about Ursa's whereabouts and encouraged by his friend, Zuko still took this difficult step.
The target of their prank was their new history teacher.
According to Azula, this history teacher was not very capable and had a big mouth.
He often lectured her, and even Zuko had been kept after class a few tis.
Azula had long been annoyed with him.
So even if Zuko had not participated this ti, this history teacher would not have escaped.
Rather, to prevent Zuko, a novice, from being too shaken, Azula's thods this ti were much milder than usual.
That could be considered a blessing in disguise.
As for this history teacher, whom he had never t, Kahn could only feel sorry.
A teacher chosen to instruct the Prince and Princess would naturally not be as incompetent as Azula claid.
However, his judgnt was indeed poor.
He failed to recognize the situation and Azula's status as the palace's little tyrant.
Thus, he suffered an undeserved misfortune.
Iroh looked at Kahn's expression and suddenly noticed sothing.
"You don't seem very surprised."
"Did you two plan this beforehand?"
Kahn chuckled and imitated Iroh's tone.
"You guess."
"You little rascal!"
Iroh laughed and lightly tapped Kahn's forehead.
He did not continue guessing and only reminded him:
"I know you two are very smart, but don't go too far."
"If sothing happens, this retired old man with nothing to his na can't cover for you."
Although he did not know what Kahn and Azula were doing, he had noticed so of their actions.
However, Kahn and Azula were both extrely smart and capable.
They even surpassed many adults he had t.
They were practically two little prodigies.
So he was not very worried about their actions.
Occasionally reminding them like this was enough.
As for Azula, he believed Kahn should know his limits.
"Hmm, I know."
Kahn replied, rubbing his forehead.
Although Iroh said that, Kahn believed that if sothing really happened, Iroh would never abandon him.
Of course, he also hoped nothing would happen.
He had to admit that since coming to this world, the luckiest thing was probably eting Iroh and becoming his disciple.
Having such a master behind him truly made him feel at ease.
Back to the main topic.
Zuko was confined for the prank, while Azula was completely fine.
After avoiding the initial storm, she climbed over the wall again on the third day.
She then shared many details of what had happened with Kahn.
According to Azula, Zuko had been trembling the entire ti.
He looked less like soone about to prank others and more like soone being bullied.
After the prank, Zuko looked utterly dejected.
It was as if he had been completely broken.
His foolish appearance amused her for quite a while.
So she was unusually lenient with him and completed most of the prank herself.
Of course, Zuko took all the bla afterward.
Indeed, that girl is practically a demon.
Kahn sighed inwardly.
However, no matter what, after this test, Zuko had finally beco one of them.
This also ant that Zuko had begun to stand against Ozai.
This was a good start for Kahn.
But because Zuko was confined for a month, Azula's plan had to be postponed for the sa amount of ti.
After realizing this, Azula could no longer smile and beca quite restless.
Kahn gloated, saying that Azula had brought it upon herself.
Then the two of them ended up arguing again.
However, just when he thought he would have another month of peaceful life, Azula could not endure it after only two weeks.
She directly brought Mai and Ty Lee to find him.
"Co on, let's go play with Great-Grandfather!"
Kahn imdiately fell silent.
"...Isn't he still in confinent?"
"What confinent?"
"As long as we don't get caught, it's fine."
Azula said dismissively.
Kahn looked at Mai and Ty Lee.
Surprisingly, neither of them showed any resistance.
He did not know whether they shared Azula's mindset, were already used to her behavior, or both.
In any case, it was quite astonishing.
Since even Mai and Ty Lee did not object, he had no reason to back down.
He had no choice but to follow them into the palace.
"The place where Zuko is confined should be heavily guarded, right?"
"I think it's better to be cautious, otherwise later..."
On the way, Kahn still tried to preserve his peaceful life for the next two weeks.
However, Azula was completely unmoved.
She led them to an ordinary intersection.
She suddenly pressed against a smooth wall, and a secret passage opened before them.
"This is...?"
Seeing Kahn's surprised expression, Azula smiled with a hint of pride.
"Did you think I would act without preparation?"
"The place where Great-Grandfather is confined is actually quite convenient."
"There just happens to be a secret passage leading to that room."
"Follow , and I'll show you what our 'Adventure Ga' is really like."
Azula gathered a small fla in her palm and skillfully entered the secret passage.
She looked completely familiar with everything.
Kahn glanced at the other two.
Mai also seed accustod to it.
anwhile, Ty Lee spread her arms and welcod him.
"Kahn, welco to the Royal Girls' Adventure Team!"
"Uh, thanks."
"By the way, can the na of the adventure team be changed?"
"You'll have to ask Azula about that."
"She's the leader."
"She decides everything."
"Alright."
For now, Kahn set aside the issue of the team's na.
From Mai and Ty Lee's reactions, they were clearly used to this kind of thing.
They found nothing strange about it.
Kahn was speechless.
Exploring secret passages in the palace counted as an "Adventure Ga"?
Wasn't this level of activity a bit too advanced for a group of children?
Azula's actions kept shattering his expectations again and again.
You're incredible.
Does your father know about this?
He doesn't?
Then it's fine.
Kahn increasingly felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.
He was a transmigrator, yet he felt like he couldn't even outmatch a little girl.
This is ridiculous!
