Summary: He didn't deserve it...
It was unfair, really.
He didn't deserve his outlandish intelligence. All he did was sleep in class, maybe pretend to listen for a few seconds, then he would go back to sleep.
It was almost insulting to the teacher, really.
While she, she had to work hard to reach the stage she's at now. She read up as many scrolls on the subject, and practiced the basic techniques to perfection.
It was endearing to the teacher, though slightly disturbing, seeing that kind of determination.
So she questioned him, asked him how he managed to become so smart- were his dreams filled with multiple calculations? Did the clouds above him spell out patterns?
He shrugged.
It was insulting to her. Really.
She never saw him leading a team before, so she didn't know what to expect in their first mission together.
Then she knew- he would go as far as he could to protect his comrades, instead of taking the most beneficial way out, unlike some of the other famed geniuses.
It seemed that he did deserve that intelligence, after all.
