16 Stone

Jude looked at the door he ran out from as he massaged the back of his head he thought ' Damn she's hot'

Remembering her reaction , Jude thought ' Did her parents not tell her the difference between a girl and a boy? She seemed a bit nonchalant'

' Guess I need to ask her next time'

Jude looked around and decided to quickly escape from here' I should be gone before she kills me '

Jude Jumped on the roof with his earth-bending before diving into the ground

He escaped underground as he removed the earth around him, he quickly got past Toph's place and arrived at the garden

He closed the hole and walked towards the shower room as he thought about the perfect body he just witnessed….' She's so hot.... Im In love'

Jude didn't expect Toph to be so…well off- ' Ah I should take a shower, can't be distracted by what I just saw'

He quickly took a shower with the warm water he prepared earlier

After the shower Jude put on his usually clothes, He looked at the green earth kingdom style clothes and thought ' These Earth-kingdom people need better tailors than this. ' Jude found looking at the same plain clothes annoying which surprised even him

' I should take a look at the clothing store I went with Toph, they may have some different clothes…. or at least a different colour'

Soon Jude walked towards his room and upon entering jumped on his bed ' aaaaagh….. Training is pretty damn exhausting- But at least Im getting stronger' Thinking about his previous training Jude couldn't help but cringe from annoyance, 'Just a bit more and I will able to defeat Toph'

As he mentioned Toph Jude thought ' As long as she hasn't learned metal bending at least…Wait…. Didn't Toph Just learn metal bending because she found that it was bendable? Or at least discovered that metal bending was possible…. So In theory I should be able to bend metal as well

' Hmmmm Including Metal I CAN bend other 'metals' So it depends on my talent. Actually metal bending should be one of the easier ones, with many people having mastered it in the future…..Buuuuut, It would still take me an annoying amount of time to master it…But it at least the initial start shouldn't be too difficult. '

Thinking about the possibility of bending other metals and showing it to Toph to brag Made Jude who was laying on his bed smile wide,the thought of Toph being shocked and finally not able to do something he can for the first time since he met her.

Jude jumped from the bed as he slammed his fists together " this time I will make you my apprentice and you'll call me master"

With the thought of learning metal bending, Jude made his way outside and since he finished his usually work, he was a free man. After exiting the Beifong mansion Jude noticed that it was getting pretty dark ' Hopefully one of those shops selling metal is open '

Jude was planning to buy some metal to practice metal bending but now looking at the sky he guessed most shops wouldn't be open

' Well checking won't hurt me'

He walked out of Beifong area and entered the streets of Goaling town, although it wasn't really dark and though Jude guessed it to be a bit after noon, many shops usually closed around this time and as Jude walked, he saw few of street shops packing up

' I need to hurry' Seeing that few already begun closing up made Jude to hasten his speed

He sprinted towards the last place he saw the metals and ore seller

Jude passed few people and carts as he hurried, ' Why do they even close this early?! ' cursed Jude

After running for a while, Jude finally saw the shop, It was a small wooden building build Inside a wall? well Jude found it strange looking but he didn't care and soaked with sweat he walked In the little building with the ' Goaling's Fine Ores' sign

Jude Immediately spotted an old man on the counter who also spotted him, the man smiled with a nod which Jude replied to with a nod

'hmm, I need one of those bendable aluminum metals… But im not sure if they have it since the last time I saw it being bend was In LOK'

Jude walked towards the counter and asked " Sir, do you have any, uhmm - Soft metal?"

" Soft metal? " The man scratched his head in confusion

" Yeah, Its metal but really soft- Its bendable and flexible "

" I'm not certain if we have that in our shop, but i'll have a look" Said the man

Jude nodded as he thought ' Ugh do they not have any or is there no such thing as soft metal yet?'

After few moments the old man came back and said " Sorry but who don't have such metals, we do however have hard and flexible metals"

Sigh , Jude sighed in disappointment and said " Alright that will be alright too"

The man grabbed something underneath his desk

Its a square box and looking at the size it probably contained a small chunk of metal

Jude thought ' well the size of the metal doesn't really matter when practicing for first time… well actually the smaller the better'

The man opened the box and showed the dark metal and said " This is a chunk of a meteorite , it's flexing but hard to make use of "

"Wha-t !" Jude cried out in surprise

" Old man, how much are you selling it for?" Said Jude in excitement

The old man chuckled and said " we sell it for 45 Earth coins"

Jude didn't care if the man was telling the truth and immediately paid for it, since it wasn't that expensive and he really needed it

After paying Jude hurried back to the mansion

-

Inside the his room, Jude opened the box and took out the meteorite stone " Hahahaha! Jude could already see the surprise in toph's eyes after he showed her metal bending
