The School for Heroes

Chapter twenty-three: The New Teacher

Chapter twenty-three: Leo Valdez

I eagerly sat in History class, waiting for the class to be over. After this I had Tech Lab, and rumor had it that Tony had this new contest going on.

"Mr. Valdez, please put out your desk. That's the third one this week." I chuckled nervously, patting out the flames on my desk. Which made them burn brighter.

"Sorry Professor Misako! I...uh, just...um...got excited from all this...stuff we're learning about." I said, getting nervous about how bright the flames were getting.

A blast of ice came from two different directions, putting out the flames and leaving me wishing I had some hot coco.

"T-Thank you Zane, kid I don't know." The kid frowned.

"My name is Bobby remember? Bobby Drake? I'm in your Gym and History class?" I shrugged.

"Nope, sorry. Doesn't ring a bell." Bobby faceplamed, while Professor Misako sighed, then smirked.

"Well Mr. Valdez if your so excited to learn then please explain to the class what Avatar Ruko did for the four nations." I swallowed nervously. Who was Avatar Ruko again?

"He....uh....um....did....stuff?" The class snickered while Professor Misako sighed.

"Mr. Valdez if you had been paying attention you would've known that Avatar Ruko hasn't been covered in this class." I let out a breath of relief when the bell rang. Being dissed by Professor Misako was pretty much one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to you. That, and being dissed by pretty much any other teacher.

"Your homework tonight is to write a two page essay on what you learned in class. You can thank Mr. Valdez for that." Everyone groaned and started heading out, some pushing past me on the way out.

I gathered my stuff and ran for Tech lab, ignoring everyone who shoved me into the doorway.

"Excuse me, pardon me, OUT OF MY WAY MORTALS!!" I yelled, moving in and out of people. Finally, after running into twenty seven people (five ninja, five wizards, ten demigods, Peter and Susan Pevenise and five teachers) I made it to Tech Lab.

"IM SORRY IM LATE TONY!!" Tony raised an eyebrow.

"Um...your early, not late. I haven't even dismissed my class yet." I looked around awkwardly at the kids staring at me.

"Oh....whoops." I chuckled nervously and backed out the door.

"Run in before he dismissed the class?" Donnie asked, leaning up against the wall. I nodded.

"Yep." Donnie chuckled.

The doors of the classroom opened and the kids filed out, while I ran in, tripping in the process.

"Valdez, your hair is on fire. Again. And you are just so excited to be in this class aren't you?" I blushed and patted it out, sitting down and nodding.

"Yep." Tony waited for the rest of the class to sit down before clearing his throat.

"Now, I have a very important announcement to make."

"I am having a competition. The winner, gets a prize Id rather not say right now. But basically you have to make a brand new invention that will-."

"Eh Em." I groaned. She wasn't gone yet?!

"JARVIS why does she keep coming into my class!?"

'That sir is a question I cannot answer.' Umbrigde smiled a little sweet looking smile, you know that one that a backstabbing person has right before they backstab you.
