"So, a noun is …?" Billy trailed off, waiting for the class to finish.
"A person, place, or thing," the class mumbled. Billy's lessons were kindergarten level. Even the demigods could get straight A's in his class. It was so easy, even the slackers were begging for something harder. And it was getting pretty old. Seeing as they knew he was a Party Pony, Chiron's party cousins, the demigods knew Billy was probably teaching them everything he knew.
"We aren't even going to learn anything all year!" Emma whispered to Annabeth. Annabeth frowned.
"How is he even a teacher?" a girl snickered to her friend.
"Yeah. Like he should go back to Jupiter to get more stupider," the other girl whispered. They both started laughing. Billy, of course, heard this and started to rise out of his wheelchair. Luke panicked and stopped time. Somehow, he kept Percy, Annabeth, and Billy going too. Annabeth stared at Luke like he had grown a third eye and Billy looked around the classroom in shock. He was now fully centaur and his head was about a centimeter away from the ceiling.
"What are you doing?" Luke hissed at him.
"They were saying I should go to Jupiter. I thought I would send them to Jupiter. He would be pleased," Billy explained. Luke shook his head.
"Billy they are mortals. You can't just go around showing your horse ass to everyone!" Luke scolded. "Get back in your wheelchair and pretend you didn't hear them."
"Luke? What is this?" Annabeth questioned.
"He froze time, Wise Girl," Percy gave Annabeth a look like, "duh!"
"Wow, Seaweed Brain! I had no idea!" Annabeth exclaimed sarcastically. "I meant, how?" How did you do this?"
Luke shook his head. "I have no idea. I never could do it before I… you know. But now I can."
"I bet Kronos could do this. Maybe… Maybe some of his power was left in you?" Annabeth suggested. Luke thought about this. It does make sense but how is that even possible?
"When he dissipated his essence was probably spread out to multiple different places. Most of it going to Tartarus, hopefully, but some staying in you," Percy agreed.
"Wow, Seaweed Brain. That was almost smart," Annabeth taunted. Percy stuck his tongue out at her.
"Can I get on with my lesson now?" Billy asked lazily.
Luke glanced at him. "Sure, Billy." Percy, Annabeth, and Luke sat back in their seats and Luke started time again. The two girls blinked a couple of times, forgetting they had seen their teacher start to stand out of his wheelchair.
"And a verb is…?"
