by "The Stone Age.... I think I'd prefer Ancient Greece and Rome. They, at least, had some pretty good thinking going on back then." I scratched my head, probably making my hair a bit messy.

I nod. "Those were good times, but back then, I guess you could say, is when 'inventing' started. Complex buildings and weapons, complex enough to make an empire and a legacy last."

"But think about it. If those things were still used and survived today, would we be better? It's a lot simpler than the guns and bombs of today."

"Actually, I say yes, it would be better. Back then, you had to have skill to use weapons like a sword or bow and arrow. Now, you just have to aim and pull a trigger, nothing skillful about that."

"Yeah. I'm glad we're learning at camp.... Just in case I buy a samurai sword and somebody tries to break into my house." I laughed, rubbing the back of my neck.

I laugh a little too. "Yeah, I'm glad that I know how to use a bow. Being in a wheelchair has a disadvantage at fighting, and I wouldn't be able to move around like most people. So being able to use a wheelchair lets me attack at long range, but if some attacks me close up, I'm basically a goner, but I do have a knife," I said pulling out my dagger from my pocket. "I also have a sword, but I'm pretty bad with it," I said.

"Well, I'm sure you can poke them with a sword pretty well." I looked at the bow and quiver of arrows at my feet. "I've got my caduceus and winged shoes.... I should be okay, usually. If not... Oh well."

I rubbed the back of my neck, looking around. "Well, that was an enlightening conversation. I'm surprise we're not kids of Athena."

"Yeah, I don't think I've thought that much since I've been in school, and even then, I didn't really think much, except in World History, because that was the only one that actually sounded interesting to me."

I blinked. When was the last time I'd gone to school.... "Oh. I only thought in math class. I really didn't like it... too many equations and stuff."

"Yeah, me too. It seemed too complicated for me. Integers and fractions, just didn't make since," I said cracking my neck, which was getting stiff from sitting still.

"Yeah. My teacher showed us a geometry worksheet, and holy Athena.... I wanted to cry a little." I sighed. I didn't want to go back to school at all... Just stay here forever and talk to people like this guy. He was pretty cool.

I chuckled a little, "Yeah, I remember one day I had a timed chapter test in my math class, and if we didn't pass, we'd fail the class. So, I was just sitting there the entire class period trying to think of stuff she taught us in class. I ended up getting a 40 on the test and failed the class. I was like 'How are you suppose to do this stuff!?' Luckily, all demigods get to stay here in camp and don't have to go to school, so I guess you can say we're lucky," I said shrugging.

"Yeah, but you can't guarantee we'll survive in the real world. Y'know, lacking a lot of education and stuff... but I don't think we use geometry or algebra 2 at all in the real world. Like, seriously. I won't need to know Napoleon was French or anything in the real world unless I'm a teacher or history major."

"Yeah, I know, and I don't know why somebody would want to become a teacher. Only reason I'd want to be is you don't have to work during the summer."

"But then you'd need a second job for the summer to support yourself," I pointed out. "Not so fun, really. I'd like to be... I dunno, really. Something not so complicated."

"Something that doesn't require using your legs," I said, finishing his sentance. I then thought about what job I'd be able to do when I grew up.

"You could be a... businessman? Doesn't require much walking. Just rolling into an elevator and talking to people." I shrugged.

"Eh," I shrugged. "It'd be boring but it'd probably get good pay. I don't think that'd require any school knowledge."

"Except how to be a bit ruthless, yeah. Maybe how to add and subtract, divide." I shrugged, not really knowing. I wasn't an expert on jobs.

"Eh, maybe, adding and subtracting wages just incase they ask how much they'd make in a year, but you probably don't need to know that, because if they ask how much they are going to make, you probably shouldn't hire them," I said, smiling.

I grinned, scratching my head and then trying to flatten my hair on my head. "Yeah, that's a good idea. I was thinking of opening a restaurant or something when I'm older."

"Oh, that's cool, I never really understood restaurants, how waiters could take all those tips and deliver the food to the right people and the chefs could cook all of it fast, doesn't make since to me," I said.

I scratched my head, organizing my thoughts. "Well, then you'd have to hire people with good memory. Agile. I'd be a good waiter, but cook.... I can work on that."
