Chapter 40

Three days had passed since I had mastered the element of wind. I stood in my training ground, the familiar canyon, going through my morning routine. The air was crisp, a reminder of my new control over the element of wind.

Extending my hand, I visualized a knife in my mind. Within a fraction of a second, a blade of compressed wind took shape. I shifted the form, turning the knife into a sword, then a great sword, then a hammer, and finally a shield. Each transformation was smooth and instantaneous. I then created daggers, feeling the ease with which I could shape the air.

I laughed, marveling at the ease of my new skill. "Well then, let's get something to eat," I said to myself. After cleaning up, I pondered my meal options. "I'm in the mood for some Chinese takeout," I mused. "But how about we go to the source instead?" Smirking, I teleported away.

Scene Change: Chinatown

I found myself in Chinatown, surrounded by the tantalizing aroma of Chinese cuisine. I wandered through the crowded streets, finally settling on a small, bustling restaurant. I ordered a feast: dumplings, Peking duck, and fried rice. As I ate, my thoughts drifted to the next element I would master.

Watching a chef cook, I saw flames flare due to the oil from the pan. 'Well, the universe has spoken,' I thought, smirking. 'Next on the list is…'

Scene Change: Helicarrier

Fury stood on the main deck of the helicarrier, overlooking his agents working diligently. Maria Hill approached, handing him a report. "How's the repairs to the Raft?" Fury asked, not looking up from the report.

"The damages are extensive," Maria replied. "During the battle between Satoru, Carol, and Graviton, several critical systems were destroyed. We've managed to repair about 85%, but some sections are still heavily damaged."

Fury nodded, his expression grim. "How many villains are now accounted for?"

"Most of them," Maria said. "Almost 85% are now back in custody. But there are a few we still can't find."

Fury's expression darkened. "Go on then, spit it out. Who is it?"

Maria looked uncomfortable. "It's Cain Marko, sir."

Fury's face twisted in frustration. "Motherfucker," he muttered. "The Juggernaut."

Scene Change: Training Ground

Blinking away, I appeared back in my training ground, the canyon. With the mastery of air under my belt, it was time to tackle the next element: fire. 'Fire can be created through telekinesis by concentrating thermal energy to ignite flames and control combustion,' I recalled telling the professors two weeks ago.

I stood in the canyon, the air still and heavy with anticipation. 'Now from our understanding Fire is raw energy,' I thought, feeling the heat of the sun above me. 'Let's see how to harness it.'

I focused on the warmth around me, imagining the thermal energy in the air. 'Fire is a manifestation of energy,' I thought. 'To create it, I need to gather and concentrate thermal energy in the atmosphere.'

Extending my hand, I concentrated on the air molecules, increasing their kinetic energy. Slowly, I felt the temperature rise. 'Guide it, control it, like telekinesis but with heat just like my heat vision,' I reminded myself. A small flame flickered to life in my palm, dancing with potential.

'It's working, that was… faster than I thought maybe it's because of my heat vision and already knowing how it works plus refining my telekinetic powers due to the air training,' I thought, excitement bubbling within me. 'Now, control it.' I concentrated, guiding the flame to grow and shrink at will. The heat wasn't too intense, but I could feel my telekinetic control shaping it.

For hours, I practiced, creating and extinguishing a myriad of flames. The first day was spent understanding the basics, creating small fireballs, manipulating their size and intensity. I spent hours getting used to it before finally creating a fireball the size of a ball and maintaining it before before increasing the size gradually till I was able to create a fire ball the size of a house and controlling its heat precisely.

I watching a flame dance on my fingertips. 'To master it, I need to understand its creation and control from both a mystical and scientific perspective.'

On the second day, I applied principles learned from Zuko and the Uchihas. 'Zuko generates fire by focusing on his breath and inner strength. The Uchiha manipulate their chakra to create and control flames by kneading their chakra in their stomach before releasing it,' I mused, combining these methods with my telekinesis.

I concentrated, feeling the energy within me, then released it through my palm. A small fireball ignited, and I focused on controlling its temperature and size. 'Regulate the temperature like with my heat vision,' I thought, practicing until I could create fireballs of various sizes and shapes effortlessly.

By the evening of the second day, my control was improving. I could now create larger fireballs and manipulate their temperature with ease. 'This is progress,' I thought, a sense of satisfaction settling in.

The third day brought more experimentation. I theorized about fire creation from a scientific viewpoint. 'Fire needs fuel obviously, heat, and oxygen,' I thought, increasing the ambient temperature around me until the ground began to melt. I practiced creating fire from thin air, focusing on the thermal energy in my surroundings.

By the end of the third day, I could create and control fireballs effortlessly, manipulating their size and temperature almost perfectly. 'I'm getting the hang of this,' I thought, confidence swelling within me.

On the fourth day, I pushed my limits further, creating new techniques. I started with heating up my surroundings, then moved to more complex fire manipulation. I created various shapes with fire, similar to my wind manipulation: swords, hammers, shields, and more simple shapes. I practiced expelling massive amounts of searing hot flames from my hands, turning the rocks around me to molten puddles.

By the end of the fourth day, my mastery of fire had grown significantly. I could create large fireballs, regulate their temperature, and control their movements almost instantly. 'I've come a long way,' I thought, satisfaction burning within me. 'But there's still more to learn.'

The next few days were spent refining my skills, creating and controlling fire with increasing complexity. I experimented with different techniques, creating fireballs of various sizes and shapes on different intervals and changing the shapes while trying complex shapes as well. I theorized about the creation of fire from a scientific point of view and created new techniques. I started by heating up my surroundings, which caused the ground to melt, and then moved on to creating fireballs in my palm. After two days of training, I could create a fireball as big as a house and regulate the temperature like my heat vision instantly.

As the days passed, my mastery of fire grew more and more. I tested a theory, creating a massive fireball that grew exponentially. Narrowing my eyes, I began to compress the huge ball of energy, watching as its color changed due to the force of compression. Normally, increasing compression would increase power and destructiveness.

The fireball shrank until it was the size of an egg, shining almost white. The heat radiating from it melted my surroundings. 'Huh, if my physique wasn't this strong, I'd be ashes just from standing next to this,' I thought, the little ball of energy resembling a small sun compressed with my telekinesis on the tip of my finger. I flung it away, watching as it shot off like a bullet, melting all the rocks in its path.

'Art is an explosion,' I thought as the little ball of fire burst and exploded like a small nuke. The explosion size was impressive, taking over 50 meters. The fireball burst with a heat blast and formed a small mushroom cloud.

After the dust cleared, I teleported above the blast zone to see the damage of my new technique. The black and molten crater below made me geek out. "Holy shit, I can't use this in a city," I said to myself.

As I pondered how to expand and improve the techniques, I thought of ways to improve the blast range and localize the technique. 'If I change the shape to an arrow, does that mean I can use Sukuna's fire arrows now?' My eyes lit up with excitement. 'Two down, three to go.'
