However, one night when going to his apartment after a late study session he was attacked by three thugs, one of them an earthbender. He tried valiantly to fight them off but he was hit in the stomach with a boulder and passed out. After he awake he found himself without any money and could no longer afford tuition at his school. Seeking a means to stabilize himself he decided to try an acupuncturist. The acupuncturist showed him that his chi was disrupted by his doubt in himself. Akira figured he should go visit the Air Nomads in search of esoteric knowledge as a means to balance his chi.
