Character: Tony Stark (Iron Man)
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Mun: Otter
Plot Specific? Not really.

Well, apparently you can lose points for telling professors that what they're teaching is, well, wrong.

But really, if there is a quicker way to do it, shouldn't they teach it? Okay, so it was a little more dangerous if done wrong, but hey, isn't that just the kinda incentive you need to make sure you do it right?

The teacher should at the very least present the other option as a viable one.
What did you say that lost you points though?

[arrogantalloy]

Didn't say anything, other than he was doing it the slowest way ever, then got up and showed him the better way to do it.

It's not my fault he doesn't take corrections well.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Well, that wasn't fair.

[arrogantalloy]

Finally, somebody who gets it.

[thesmallesttrickster]

That is sad. What year are you in?

[arrogantalloy]

Fourth, These classes are just so beneath what I can actually do, so I've been pushing to get me pushed up a year or two. See if there's an actual challenge.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Perhaps a professor would be willing to take you on for an extra project of some sort?

[arrogantalloy]

That is an excellent idea. An, excellent idea. Might even try that out I think.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Please inform me as to how it plays out. I fear I may have the same problem when I begin in the fall.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, don't worry kid. If it happens, you'll know.

[thesmallesttrickster]

What subject were you thinking?

[arrogantalloy]

Subject? Kinda singular there, don't you think? I'm kinda aiming for all of them.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Ambitious, aren't you? I look forward to meeting you in teh fall.

[arrogantalloy]

You could call it ambitious. I just have an unquenchable thirst for information. Looking forward to meeting you too, short stack.

[thesmallesttrickster]

You have never met me, how do you know if I am short or not?

[arrogantalloy]

Basic assumption, you said you start this fall. 11 year olds are statisitcally shorter than 15 year olds.
It's basic math.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Excellent deductive skills, Mr. Stark.

[arrogantalloy]

I'd say it's just a good memory.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Memory? Have we met?

[arrogantalloy]

Is that a joke? Because that almost sounded like a joke there. Cute.

[thesmallesttrickster]

[He's just kinda staring at his journal. The next response takes a bit longer.]

No, it was not a joke. You said you knew I was short because of memory and not deductive skills, and I asked if we had met before because I do not remember meeting you.

[arrogantalloy]

Well yeah, I remembered you said you were starting this fall. Which makes you short, you could be tall for you age for all I know. But you're still going to be shorter than me.

So it's more memory than deduction. Because hey, I remember being short when I first got here too. I mean, I'm not Sherlock Holmes or anything.

[thesmallesttrickster]

I see, a failure in communication then.

[arrogantalloy]

I wouldn't worry about it. That kind of thing happens a lot around me.
