Right. Edward was to be a teacher. Of what, he hadn't the foggiest. But he wouldn't have been Captain Edward Kenway if he didn't swagger into class with all the airs of confidence of a man who knew exactly why he was there.

"Morning, lads and ladies," he said. "And welcome to our class about doing whatever we bloody well please. I'm Captain Edward Kenway, and I was once a student, much like yourselves. Trying my damnedest to make something of myself, but the world's always had a habit of roping in any poor bastard hoping to improve his fortunes and tie him to the ground if he lets it." Beat. "Or she."

No, seriously, what was he teaching again?

"The answer's to let go of all that and be whoever you wish to be," he said. "It's not an easy road, but it's bloody well worth it." (He would come to regret this later.) "As for today, we've introductions, the easiest of the lot. Tell me your name and your ambition, and we'll carry on, yeah?"

Please tell him something he could work with.

"Also hope you lot have a head for sailing. We'll be doing quite a bit of it."

At sea.

Beaker

Bobby Drake

Uma, daughter of Ursula

Take it from the pirate, all right?

Name and ambition, s'il vous plait.

"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker began, pointing to his nametag from Saturday that still said "Beaker" but had clearly had better days, "Meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep--"

He went on for a while about his love of the sea.

"Right," Edward said, after a pause. "A deep thinker, I see."

“Bobby Drake,” he introduced himself. “My ambition is pretty much to do my own thing, actually, because I don’t want to make the same mistakes my older self did.” That sentence made sense, really!

"So what'd your older self do?" Edward asked.

It seemed like the pertinent question to ask.

“Engaged in years of repression and denial,” Bobby said. “He’s getting a little better about it now, but still, you know. He missed out on stuff.”

"Sounds like you've already got yourself sorted out," Edward noted. "I mean, what're you lookin' for, here?"

THIS WAS THE BEST CLASS EVER.

"My name's Captain Uma, of the Lost Revenge," she replied with a little more enthusiasm than she had for other classes. "My ambition is to get the rest of my crew and my ship off the damn Isle of the Lost and pillage Auradon for abandoning us all there because of what our parents did."

"I'm of the Jackdaw, myself," Edward said, since it seemed only right to answer a ship's name with the same, isn't it? "And you're out to give it to some posh gits, are you? A noble cause indeed."

Ambitious fella that he is.
