What is Fate? (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Quest)

Reader mode
Or we could take a break after finishing high school and focus a little more on training for the war to come and spending a little more time with Dad? I mean, it's not as if we won't be able to attend once we're older (if we don't get killed).

So what's the hurry? I'd much rather have more free time to focus on learning to fight with the war-scythe, maybe finally get some unarmed training and raise our Ancient Greek literacy. How much easier would it all be if we didn't have school? At least that's my reason for voting to graduate early.

Just casually give the agriculture industry it's own genius to revolutionize and massively improve plants. Why be the child of prophecy when you can make strains of plants that are super nutritious and large or grow in less viable areas. Like just image some kid makes a type of tomato that is as big as two fist put together or makes vegetables and fruits that grow in sub-optimal conditions like near deserts or tundra's.

Also just a thought, a kid this smart should be getting some kind of attention from some journals, scholarly groups, and the like. With colleges taking special interest and holding their breath (if not actively trying to sway him) to see if he'll join their school.

Gaia isn't really an environmentalist at least not in the sense of maintaining an environment fit for humans. She likely would not mind going back to having the surface be all lava.

@Monk Penguin, wouldn't we be getting bullied? I would like to see what would happen if he was, and how would we stop it. Or have people learn not to mess with us?

No. With us being a cute kid genius all of the teachers will be on our side. We just have to cry to a adult and we could likely get almost anyone suspended at will. Have to make sure not to abuse this power.

Last time they tried to bully us, we went in 'tears' to our teachers. The same thing would probably happen since we're the little genius and our school won't like losing us or anything bad to happen to us. So if someone tries it won't end well for them.
 
Might be different in collage given that professors don't interfere nearly as much. However, you don't really see many bullies in collage.
 
If we're going into genetical engineering to improve the world's food resources, we should work on potatoes. Potatoes are a super-food capable of supplying nearly all nutrients humans need to survive and can grow nearly everywhere. Now make it magical, and you've solved world hunger (well, not really. Economics would not allow us to "solve" hunger because capitalism is scarcity-based, but you get my point).

Capitalism starts to break down when resources become plentiful. Then you get weird and stupid situations.
 
Or how about we don't go to college? And instead focus on the supernatural part of our lives? Because there's a war coming that is going to kill a lot of people and we might be one of those people. Or our friends might end up as one of those people.

Even if we never go to college it wouldn't be the end of the world. We can always open a flower shop.

Despite what people seem to think our advantage is our foreknowledge because we've lived up to college. We're not really a genius. :p Even if Sam might have ended up believing he is one.

This, right here.
I can understand finishing highschool earlier since the QM pointed out that we can focus more on training our powers after and that dad doesn´t want us to leave NY so soon, but why are you guys in such a hurry to go to college? Even if we decide to go 2 years later we are still the "genius" who finished highschool almost half a decade earlier than most teenagers, so pretty much our academic future is more than secure at this point. Besides, why the hell would we focus on such trivial things when we have a WAR with GODS and MONSTERS happening very soon? Not wanting to be that guy but I´m pretty sure that college will make us even more busy with LONGER classes and homework. Sam is barely standing HIGHSCHOOL. How do you think college will be for him?

Also, once we make it to college, our past-life knowledge ends, and then our "genius" peters out (to be fair, it's what happens with most IRL child prodigy, so not really suspicious, but), and THEN we need to deal with our ADHD and Dyslexia while actually studying instead of just going through the motions.

Can Sam even remember anything from college after 10 years?

You know what I'm curious about, are we actually genuinely a genius or Is it just because we remember all the material from our past life cause it'd be suspicious to get out of Highschool at twelve and then be average in college or the workforce.

Hades does on his own occasionally.

But Hades is actually level headed, fair, and professional when carrying out his duty as judge of souls. I'd rather not mock him when he's being respectable.

Sam isn´t a genius. Foreknowledge, "premature" maturity and a little of dedication were the reasons he is able to look like one.
