Whatever Seth said must have struck a cord with the young fire bender since she told him she was her own brand of crazy. It wasn’t his intent to disrespect the young women. He sighed and rubbed his eyes before he said, “I’m sorry Ms. If I disrespected you. However, I’ve seen so many youthful soldiers like yourself you thinks acting crazy and powerful will help them get through the battle. Do you know how many survived with that kind of thinking? I can’t tell you how much it hurts just to watch children, teens, young adults be placed in body bags because they didn’t think.” His train of thought was broken when he saw one of the fire benders use lightning, to which the other couldn’t redirect and get hit. He sighed and stood up straight from leaning on the railing after the water bender healed one of the fire benders.

“Listen up you two!” Seth yelled towards the two fire benders in a stern voice before he continued, “Lightning is not something you can just wield and think nothing of it. Lightning bending is the third hardest bending in the entire world. It’s both powerful and unpredictable. You think it’s just another bending ability when in reality you are gifted with the ability by nature itself. Out of all the fire benders only a select few could lightning bend. Even Aang had trouble learning how to wield such uncontrollable power and he was the Avatar. Do not wield something you don’t not understand or respect.” Over the years Seth watched so many of the solders try to lightning bend only to either be hurt or worse.

“Also, you are training! That means you shouldn’t try to mortally wound one another. You’re lucky this time, but next time think before you act. Winning a war is not about how powerful you are, but if your strategy is better than your enemy’s. Plus if one of you is hospitalized we’ll be a man down and greatly outnumbered by the Red Lotus. Every single solder has a role to play in bringing back the peace. No matter how small,” Seth said. he didn’t like scolding others, but over the years it helped keep people safe and if it meant being the bad guy to save lives. He’s gladly be the bed guy.

“I suggest you check your attitude Ms. Fire Bender, “ Seth said to Aiza before he added, “Because someone like you will get people killed. A lot of people killed.”
