To Teach a King

1

"Hello class, I hope you enjoyed your winter break."

"You as well Mr.Burr."

Mr.Burr's face suddenly dropped to a frown, sending shivers around the room.

"Now something to discuss before we start class is that someone put tacks on my seat."

...

"You all are in the most prestigious school where only the most important figures in our entire society are allowed. The FUTURE KING is in your class. And you still put tacks on your teachers seat? I'm disappointed."

...

"Be more creative next time."

Then there was a sudden screech on the chalkboard as the word "MAGIC" stood prominently.

"Now I'm supposed to tell you this stuff at the end of the year, but when I went here the amount of time we were given was complete horse shit." Mr.Burr said while rolling his eyes.

Some students snickered at the teachers language while the more shy ones looked away. Half a year and they still weren't used to it.

"But anyway people have magic and you all have to choose a single one to dedicate your life to, which I figure out and find a master by the end of the year. Now there are many types of magic, I just happened to choose illusion."

Soon a whisper floated through the classroom.

"why illusion, you can't even do anything with it."

"Well I thought I taught you if you want to talk shit, do it to my face and to answer your question, none of your business bitch."

Silence rang through the classroom as a single student looked at Mr. Burr in fear.

"Now back to regular school stuff."

Suddenly the door flew open, a huffing man with a face red with anger, with two soldiers behind him. The man proceeded to straighten his crown while one of soldiers began to shout.

"His royalty demands a meeting with you, Mr. Felix Burr."

To that Felix proceeds to whip his head to them, annoyance and anger clear.

"Excuse me but I cannot meet with you currently as I was about to take my students out for the day. Also can you not shout, i don't think people should not look at their protectors in fear." Mr.Burr or Felix announced, voice dripping with aggravation.

A look around the room could show what Felix said was the truth. Students were startled and scared. Some were even on the ground cowering and crying.

The king just stood there, face still as crimson as when he burst through the door, when he finally said in a surprisingly calm tone.

"When are you able to meet with me?"

"After this class period if it's this urgent so around nine thirty."

And with that the class was gone, Felix didn't want to stay any longer so he rushed his class out of the pastel classroom, grabbing something on his way out.

"WHAT IS THAT."

Some students were screeching while some looked in awe at the giant beast.

"Meet Jörmungand and he i-"

"IT EVEN HAS A TERRIFYING NAME.

At this point Mr.Burr was done with the screaming.

"Number 1, shut up, Number 2, He's not a beast, he's a Burmese Python, which grow to about 13 feet, Number 3, The names from Norse Mythology which maybe you would know a bit about if you ever bothered to pick a book up about it."

That worked fairly well to stop the screaming so Mr. Burr continued(even though people were still terrified).

"Now Jörmungand is not the reason we are here. Now as you might know is that this is the forest that has a gate around it, does anyone know the reason why?"

"Because the people who enter never return due to the rage of Mother Nature?"

"Nah, people just get lost a lot in there."

...

"Ok"

"Now since we didn't exactly finish up our past semester we are going to have a project because according to Ms.Devo I have to finish each unit with a test or a project."

Everyone just stared as their teacher began to flip his hair, just radiating sass.

"So anyway you all have to pick a random plant in these woods, bring it back and make a diagram of how magic flows through it."

To that a young man yelled "Well isn't that unfair to those who don't know about plants."

"Well deal with it"

So for the rest of the class period Mr.Burr ran around helping his students, mostly just answering the question of "how complex is this plants magic flow?" With the wonderful and majestical phrase of "Hoe I don't know, that's why I'm asking you." And occasionally telling his students that they could not eat the plants and by occasionally, he meant about once or twice per student.

"I'm worried for this country"

Near the end of the period everyone had picked a plant and because Mr.Burr may or may not have forgotten the time everyone rushed to their next class.

Felix proceeded to pick up most of Jörmungand who was just basking in a single bit of sun that made it past the foliage. From an outside view it was very majestical. From an inside view you could see Jörmungand eating a family of bunnies.

*cue the small screams of baby rabbits...

Well anyway Felix walked in through the classrooms back door into the the closet, which he had turned into a giant terrarium. He's worked here for 5 years he's had his free time. Also he broke in during summer vacation.

So after putting Jörmungand away he walked in the classroom only to stop in confusion.

"Why are you still here?"

So I'm the author I hope the transitions between Felix and mr burr are not too confusing. Just when he's alone it's felix if he's with students or king ass fart it's mr burr.
