Chapter 244 - 244. Break The Norm

When the remainder of the class entered the class room slowly but surely there was nothing odd for them to see. Asher and Art were sitting in the front with the professor watching the door.  The students didn't find this strange and skirted some fallen papers near it. Everyone slowly but surely took their seats until the bell rang again. 

"Jane is going to be late since she needed to rest but if we wait another minute or two I bet she will do it." Asher was placing his bet on Jane. 

"She definitely will. She is better than most people." Art affirmed this. 

"Then if she does I will approve of your passing this class and being able to switch while retaining credit." Their professor was holding a sheet of paper he had never filled out before. It read that the students that signed the document along with the teacher would grant full credit from the class taken. This was normally a paper filled out at the end of a term. 

The three waited while the class was in minor confusion to why the professor was sitting with two students and just watching the door. The second ticked by until a single set of footsteps approaching the class came in to hearing range. Another few seconds and Jane showed up right as expected.

Her face scrunched in to a slight frown as she bent over and picked up the scattered papers the other students had walked by, on, and over. She was the only one to take the few minutes to clean them up and realize they were classroom documents.

Her eyes scanned the room and found the professor. "Excuse me. I found these on the ground over there…" her face became confused like the other students when she saw Asher and Art smiling like fools. 

"Then that's it. You three pass my class. I believe you understand the basic morals I enjoy. But please, if you have any other challenges for students stop by my office or email me." The professor gave them all a piece of paper and his faculty card.

"I told you that it was a moral dilemma. Most people ignore what they think is trash and refuse to touch it. But only those with strong ethical codes swallow that pride and drop to clean it up." Asher had placed this beg they no student would stop and clean it up. And if Jane did they would be proven to have understood the morals taught in this class.

This was the same thing Jim had done the same kind of thing to test the morals of campers. The reward was, of course, the golden egg for the luxury cabin. 

In this case, Asher had argued that only someone who had understood and developed proper morals from the class would understand that no one is greater than another. Therefore, they would stoop to clean up trash and every return it to someone if it was not trash.

"Now, you three may leave to stop by the office and give them your paper work." Their professor moved to the podium. "And everyone else will be explaining in a two thousand word essay why they are better than any other and will not lower themselves to do small menial labor to improve life for all man!"

The groans from the students as they heard this could cause the school to shake. Before Jane could question it further Art and Asher grabbed her arms and dragged her outside toward the main office.

"We decided that we wouldn't need that class any longer to shop off properly. So we spoke to the professor and now we have a credit for the class and we can take another. It is pretty great, right?" Asher was worried that Jane might disapprove.

"Yes! That is amazing. I never would have thought to speak with a professor and ask for the class credit. Is that what the papers were about? That was what Jim did, wasn't it?" Jane had already understood the reasoning behind what had happened. 

"Yup, and now we can choose another class. The question is what class would really show off that we deserved to skip a year?" Art was caught on this. There were many extra curricular lessons and he just needed to figure out the best for them. 

"Ask in the group chat. We probably won't need the academic extras since we are focused on studying those with the app and normal classes. So it should be something that focuses on an aspect of heroics we need work on." Jane was also wondering this while she watched Asher add it to their group chat. Naturally, the chat was unresponsive since everyone was in a class but the three would have a few days to choose their class. 

"Well, in the meantime while we think, we can focus on getting ahead more in studies. I kind of like your get ahead one month on home work thing. But if we get really far ahead on our academics we may end up more than a month ahead on home work." Asher was gradually forming a plan to help them get ahead in academics. 

"I know what you are going to say…" Art was already mourning the free time he thought he would have after the office. 

"Yup, we are going to do as much home work as possible. What do you think would happen if you brought every piece of homework in and it was all correct. It is the wonder of the syllabus." Asher was grinning like he had just come up with a master plan. 

"We have all the tools in front of us, we should take them. I bet we would get a the fast track for sure if we handed it in and then proved our knowledge with a few tests. If we already know the material they might even give us the finals ahead of time. Not this terms but next term for sure." Jane was excited to push the boundaries of what was normal. They were going to crush the norm.
