Heroic Tales, Wednesday, Period Two

If you'd told Thor a few years ago that he'd be living on Midgard and teaching children in a school, he would have laughed long and hard at you. But the truth was, like many things he'd discovered since his brief exile from Asgard, he'd found he truly enjoyed it. So he was excited for the beginning of another semester.

"Greetings, all, and welcome to Heroic Tales," he began, once everyone seemed settled. "If you are a fan of stories involving heroes and adventure, well. You are in the right place. If you're not a fan- I apologise for whatever mishap landed you in my class, but I hope you can still find some enjoyment from it! This semester, we're going to look at adventure tales from all over this world, and not just books- there will be some films and perhaps even a live show or two! But today, of course, is our first day together, and although I recognise many of your faces, we should still perform introductions so that we all know each other. So, I shall ask your name, your class, and a hero you hold in high regard- be they real or fictional. To start, I am Thor Odinson, your teacher, and a hero I regard highly is my dear friend, the Lady Sif, one of the most fearsome warriors I've ever had the pleasure to fight alongside." He pointed to someone at random. "Now, it is your turn."

After they'd finished, he spoke again. "Additionally, I am seeking one or two students for the position of Teaching Assistant. This involves being available to answer questions should your fellow students need assistance, or filling in for me should I be called away and unable to teach a class. If you're interested, please speak to me."

Four shook his head. "Thinking that someone was better or worse than you was...frowned upon in my upbringing. Our leaders are chosen precisely because they don't want to be looked at as being better than the rest of us."

And the one who led them was Four's father and no. No to thinking of him as anything less than an ass.
