lookin' up now ('cause i am royalty)

(3/5) i accidentally vaporize my pre-algebra teacher

A/n: I don't really know what kind of monarchy Olympia would have or the exact runnings of a monarchy, and I don't care to research it too much, so I sort of made some stuff up in here. Just kindly inform me if something is wrong in the comments and I'll correct it. (I'm from the US, so I don't have any irl experience with a monarchy either)

I wanted to get angry, this guy pushed me so hard.

Poseidon looked at Percy sympathetically. He had his fair share of tough teachers when he was younger, as his parents wanted him and his brothers to get the best education they could offer, but with Perseus- Percy, his mind corrected- Percy's ADHD and dyslexia, it would have made it harder.

But one of the things Poseidon had to learn to become King was to persevere. Percy has probably learned this lesson through experiences like these.

"I am sorry, Prince Perseus." Chiron said, and Percy frowned, "Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything. Even in the other universe, you are just doing your job. Well... that pep talk was pretty bad, I'll be honest, but you tried your best," Percy shrugged. Chiron grimaced, "Yes, I fear I have never been the best at emotional speeches, Beckendorf and several others can corroborate that."

Charles nodded, "It could be worse, though. At least you try."

I mean, sure, it was kind of cool on tournament days, when he dressed up in a suit of Roman armor and shouted: "What, ho!" and challenged us, sword-point against chalk, to run to the board and name every Greek and Roman person who had ever lived, and their mother, and what god they worshipped.

"That actually sounds so cool," Leo said, looking at Chiron. "I wish I had a teacher like that." Leo thought of his previous teachers, the ones who called him lazy and a bad worker without helping him with his ADHD.

Jason sighed, he hated that his friends had to endure things like that. They were too good of people- they didn't deserve for people to hurt them or be biased against them for something they can't control. He had talked to his step-mom Hera, who was mainly in charge of the schools of Olympia, and his grandfather Kronos, the then King of Olympia, about putting policies in schools to prevent students from being ostracized like that, but nothing had been passed quite yet.

"Do you just play games all day in school?" Zeus sneered. He still didn't approve of Perseus being here. He was not of full royal blood. He wasn't even fully Olympian. It was a mistake to bring Perseus into the family, and in Zeus' opinion, he should have stayed in America with his mother. Never mind that he never should have been born.

Percy glared at Zeus. He was done with Zeus being unnecessarily rude to him. He could understand Amphitrite or even Triton not liking him because of his father's infidelity, but it was none of Zeus' business. "No, but I guess you wouldn't know. Your school days were so long ago, after all."

"You little-" Poseidon glared at his younger brother. "Don't curse at my son." Zeus huffed, rolling his eyes, "Perseus shouldn't disrespect me like that, he has already gotten away with enough disrespect. Do you not remember his first family dinner? He called Persephone Hades' daughter-"
