Fandom High School

Ares looked disturbingly happy as he addressed the class.

"Our final today is " He clicked his fingers and a portal appeared. "If you'd all follow me through the portal?"

As the class entered the portal, they may have felt an odd tingling.

When the class came, they may have been somewhat surprised to see Ares surrounded by weetiny penguins outfitted with weetiny shields and spears, and waddling in weetiny formation. He held one particularly noisy penguin in one hand, scratching at its head as he whispered encouragingly to it.

"After last week's sudden attack of girl," he said once he finally noticed the class. "I feel that it's only fair for those of you more inclined towards the male of the species to have a similar level of eye-candy. So you're going to be watching a glorious tale of war, 100*3."

He waved the non-penguin holding hand at the class. "Go, have fun."

The Danger Shop was set up to look like a weetiny peaceful Middle New Greecelandia Greek village. Ares looked disturbingly pleased as he addressed the class.

"Now," he said. "Barring for a moment idiot imposters who deserve to get erased from existence, most gods are true gods, that is, they were born gods, their parents were gods or titans, occasionally you'll have a half-god, usually with a divine father and a mortal mother, who will have their mortality taken away and be granted a place among the full gods, and, thankfully, very, very rarely you'll get a full mortal, who through often dangerous and underhand means will become a god."

"Why do I use the word thankfully? You may ask, after all, the power of the gods is the kind of thing many aspire to. I'm glad you asked." Ares clicked his fingers and a tall, armour-clad, blonde familiar to at least some of the class, woman appeared in a burst of flames. "Here is a very good reason why."

"This is Callisto," Ares continued without skipping a beat. "When she was mortal, she was a ruthless, merciless, psychopathic warrior. She slaughtered more than one village like this one down to last man, woman, and child. As you can tell, she had a lot of potential, my kinda gal. Then, through certain, unimportant to the discussion at hand, events she died, or rather was killed, and guess who didn't have the good sense to stay dead, which I can kind of admire. Unfortunately she didn't know when to stop, and eventually clawed her way to godhood."

"That was not a good thing. Imagine someone fueled by a hate so pure, so powerful, that it would last beyond death itself, a hate that had burned out any trace of compassion, of love, of joy, its owner ever possessed, until they became less than human, a mere vessel for that hatred. Unwilling to respect anything or anyone, to accept their place in the scheme of things. Now give them immortality and indescribable power, the power of the gods, the power to change the world. Scary thought isn't it. The kind of things that person might do."

"But why tell, when I can show," he said, grinning, "The aim of today's class is to survive. I'm giving you ten minutes to run and hide, then setting her loose. Thanks to the safety protocols, she can't really kill you, but if you get burninated you're sitting on the sidelines until she's done."

When the students came into class, again being held in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a temple amongst some labyrinthine ruins, Ares was playing with a bow and looking far too pleased with himself.

( And this guy got a job teaching kids, how? )

When the students came in Ares was sitting at the front of the room throwing energy bolts at a number of scurrying action figures, whenever one connected he would start giggling in a most ungod-like manner.

When he finally noticed his class, Ares stood up. "Firstly, I would just like to say that anyone who wants detention for the rest of the semester just has to mention last weekend, white leather, or the L-word."

"Now that we've got that out of the way, Today we are going to be talking about Zeus and Hera, the King and Queen of the Gods, and my parents, so no disrespect from you brats."

The students were greeted with an empty classroom as they filed in.

( Once everyone was seated... )
