"I supposedly benefit from socializing with children, thus school. It is established that I won't learn anything unless you let me read quietly, so the classroom part is just a waste of everybody's time but lunch and recess at least advance the supposed goal even if they're not a very efficient way to advance it."

"No? What would you suggest instead?"

"- I mean mostly I think that since I am the only person on this planet who can make arbitrary material objects I should be doing that even if my social skills suffer. But I expect there's a social skills training more efficient than random interaction with random people approximately my age."

Permalink

"Yes but we're working on the plan that will allow everyone on the planet to make arbitrary material objects, having a few days' head start won't change that much. I also think you underestimate random interaction."

"Okay so lunch and recess are possibly not a waste of time."

"Don't worry, we'll eradicate material scarcity soon enough." Smile.

Bounce bounce. He beams at her.

 

He obligingly shows up for school.

Permalink

They do not have a school for parahumans this smol because there are basically no parahumans this smol. It is a regular school. He is introduced in the morning to other kids his apparent age.

Permalink

He has wings! He says he is pleased to meet them and can make things do they want any things.

Permalink

Things? What things? They want things!

Permalink

Arbitrary things!

Permalink

They're not sure what 'arbitrary' means but when it's explained they want all sorts of things! Like toys and computers and music players and mommy back and wow that got depressing fast.

Can't do that one yet but by winter almost certainly.

Permalink

Aaaand the teacher thinks this subject should be dropped and they should start with class.

Permalink

Really? It seems more important than class honestly.

Permalink

It seems like promising children you'll bring their dead parents back before winter is inadvisable and anyway it's not the time.

Permalink

"Well it'd be inadvisable if I were wrong."

Permalink

Multiplication tables!

Permalink

...seriously? He finishes those, makes himself an engineering book, and starts reading.

Permalink

The other kids are not as fast, and they're a bit jealous of the whole "make stuff and study it" thing.

Permalink

He can make them stuff too and multiplication is really really easy - he sends the concept - so they should be done too and then they can do interesting stuff.

Permalink

...they all suddenly learn multiplication at the same time! It's a miracle! The teacher is baffled... and more than a little suspicious.

Permalink

Well now they can move on to something more interesting. He votes for mechanical engineering.

Permalink

They just learned multiplication they are not moving on to mechanical engineering. They should solve some more problem sets first.

Permalink

Maybe they could give out all the problem sets between multiplication and mechanical engineering so the students have something to look forward to.
