fandomhigh | Extreme Physical Education | Wednesday

Today's class was the only one that wouldn't take place in the Danger Shop so hopefully the students enjoyed their one week of relaxation. The next several months would be intense but fun, hopefully.

"Good morning," he said, smiling at the assembled class. "I'm Constable Benton Fraser and this is Extreme Physical Education. I hope you're all in the right class. The aim of this particular class is to allow students to get exercise outside the normal parameters of a physical education class. To do this, we'll be utilizing the Danger Shop quite often to take you to more demanding and intense environments and letting you experience different sports that you can't typically experience on our island. For this class, please wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to work hard. The activities are going to be physically demanding but exhilarating. Just to give you a brief taste, we'll be covering kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, dogsledding, sandboarding and many others. Along with getting exercise, this class should expose some of you to sports that you may have never heard of before. Perhaps this will lead to new hobbies for some of you."

Again, Fraser hoped that would be true.

"Today though, we're going to do introductions just so I can learn more about you and you can learn more about me. We're a small class and I hope this helps us all get to know each other a little better so we can help each other out during some of our future lessons. So, please tell me your name, your age, and the most extreme sport you've ever competed in. My name is Benton Fraser and I'm quite older than all of you. The most extreme sport I've ever competed in wasn't competitive. A few years back, my partner, Ray Kowalski and I, set off to find the Hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea using only one dog and a sled. Conditions were frigid and unforgiving but the journey was spectacular."

He smiled, clearly nostalgic for a few moments. Then, he leaned against the desk and nodded at the class.

"Now, it's your turn. Go ahead."

"Makita, seventeen, and I'm a former Olympic gymnast for the United Republics of the Red Star," she said, taking pride in her skill, despite having used it for the State for so long. "Someday I hope to compete again for my home country of Nokgorka."

"A gymnast?" Fraser repeated, impressed. "What events, if I may ask?"

"Uneven bars, balance beam, and vault are my favorites," Makita replied happily, thrilled to share her sport with people. "I'm good at floor, too, although I always hated twirling ribbons." Ick.

"Much to the amusement of my coaches, I also insisted on training on the men's parallel bars. I currently put my training to use with what you people call pa-parkour," she continued, stumbling over the word with her accent.

"Oh, you've taken to parkour?" Fraser asked, again interested. "That's not something I've ever tried but I can see how a gymnast's background would help with that. Have you found the transition easy?"

"Mmmm. It's easy to let instinct make the leap when you're being shot at," Makita replied, still cheerful. "My country is under siege, so I use my skills as a runner and scout, moving supplies."

"Under siege?" Fraser asked, frowning briefly. "That's unfortunate to hear. I'm sure you get plenty of exercise doing that as well. We won't be making it quite so...dire in this class."
