Have fun at skool, don't use your powers, don't do anything that would scare your classmates, learn to speak and act like a human... Skool was a waste of time and productivity!
What are these ugly apes even getting out of this? They aren't paid or rewarded, with anything but symbols on white plant fiber. It didn't matter to the teaching units, most of them seemed just as enthusiastic about this as he was. If slamming his head against the mental and plant table-chair fabrication, was a subject in this educational prison, he would maybe take some kind of interest in it.
Daniel had only completed his first class, which was earth's version of "math". It was incredibly stupid and he found it insulting to his intelligence that he had to use the teaching unit's "method" to solve the questions. Then he got questioned why he showed none of his "work" on the plant fabric.
The teaching unit only requested he answer not give them it's whole life story. If they wanted something more detailed and complicated they should have asked before they had told him to complete them. The teaching unit also seemed angry that he didn't take as long as his pathetic class co-workers to complete the task. Did the human want him to be inefficant with his time or something?
Anyway a soft disagreeing grunt from Maddie, made the teaching unit back off. It wasn't like he had much of an advantage other than being smarter than his human co-workers. He could barely read the symbols they used for text and numbers. He had to keep glancing over at the "number chart" that was hung on the wall over top of the primitive non-digital presentation green slab, the unit rubbed white rocks on.
Vaguely remembering that his father taught him about humans in this part of earth, read left to right, he took every symbol on the chart as a number succeeding the other. Zero was obvious, as it seemed to be a universal number even to hairless dirt monkeys. He assumed the cross ment increase by "this" amount and the single line ment decrease by "this" amount. He didn't know what the double line meant, so he just wrote his answers on the other side of it.
The cross on it's side and the line with two dots, he assumed ment multiply and divide, as they seemed to be special versions of the normal cross and line. At least that is what the teaching unit scrapped on the green slab, as an example, when another inferior human asked her to help them.
Since the teaching unit seemed frightened by Maddie, they didn't hand him any more plant fiber or tasks to complete. So he was stuck sitting in that room, staring at them, until the shrill bell went off. He had to command Maddie to leave the source of the ringing alone as he needed to exchange his books for the next stupid human subject.
"Ugh, Kitty, why are humans so stupid?!" Daniel whined phasing his books out of the store compartment he was assigned to use. The large beast just tilted her head. Of course humans weren't giving her instructions an infant could follow constantly. Most just wisely backed off or froze in her presence. If he was allowed to reveal his true form, maybe he'd get the same reaction, he wondered. "At least this england class might be interesting. Maybe we get to study or do one of the dissections the humans were chittering about earlier, on this england person?"
Maddie let out a low whine, again it wasn't if she would have the answer to his questions. She pushed against his chest and he petted the soft fur on her head, with a smile. Deciding he had taken enough time in the hall sector, they walked to the england room.
A bald human male was the teaching unit. He was currently deeply engaged with his primitive speech, even though it was obvious that the future work drones were not as interested. Daniel shrugged and walked into the room and sat in the empty seat at the front of the class.
"The Life of Pie!" The male teaching unit yelled out, after Daniel sat down and Maddie laid on the floor beside him. " ! Why is that tiger in my classroom!?"
"Huh?" Daniel glanced at Maddie. "Uh... No? Carry on with your lesson human, ignore my completely normal house feline."
"Daniel, a three hundred pound tiger isn't a normal house pet." The teaching unit stated. "Besides it's against skool policy for pets or animals of any kind to be brought to skool."
"Then why is Dani allowed here?" A human child far behind them asked abrutly.
"Hey!" Another, human a few seats away from him said.
They were female, wearing a blue hoodie, green shorts, and a red cap as her elemental protection gear. She had black hair and blue eyes. Her appearance disgusted him even more than a regular human. Maybe it was why the other child mistook her for not being one.
"Bash, meet me after class." The teaching unit commanded the child and an audible groan followed. The teaching unit then glared back down at Daniel, stopping his quiet amusement of the other's fate. "Now, Mr. Masters, do I need to send you to the office or are you going to remove the animal?"
"How about no?" Daniel said flashing his eyes as he glared back. Maddie joining by sitting up and growling at the pathetic human. "Kitty stays, and you keep your inferior life, yea?"
"Mr. Masters. Please make your way to Mrs. Ishiyama's office." The teaching unit said to Daniel's surprise. Even Maddie seem perplexed to his lack of fear. Before he could say anything to dispute the humans demands, he continued. "Son, I've seen forty foot Lovecraftian monsters get beat up by a fourteen year old that could barely tie his own shoes, and still gave him detention for being late. Do not assume bringing a living wild animal to class will intimidate me. Now, go."
Daniel returned to glaring at the human as he stood up. He swore in at least three different tongues, before commanding Maddie to follow him out. This particular dirt monkey was going to added to his short list for the horrible experiments he planned to conduct next tuesday night, to test human limits.
