Bumper walked down the halls with a hop in his step as a few colts cheered him on. And some fillies swooned, it was his favorite class of the day: little warriors. Despite the ridiculous name. The class was mixture of sword fighting, archery, defense, and strategy. In Bumper's eye's the only thing that was missing was blood and screams of anguish from his victim.

Bumper smiled the whole reason why him and Blood Bones we're friends in the first place was those two loves. And mutual respect for Timidthy. By then he had gotten to his destination. Bumper's smile grew as he opened the door, he could practically hear the colts begging for mercy. As he walked into the room he saw the colts and fillies we're wearing suits of armor sharpening their swords.

But they all stopped as soon as they saw Bumper walked in. The teacher had her silver hair wrapped in a bun, and she had velvet fur, she wore the body armor and nothing else. But as she saw her star student she froze and the kid's all surrounded her and held out shields. Bumper gave them a confused looked as he trotted over to his teacher,

"What's up?" He said and his teacher gave a nervous smile as his fellow students started to shake.

"Well......darling......I'm so sorry b-but.....I switched you to a different class!" The teacher said and for a moment the room was quiet,

"WHAT!?" Bumper said as his eye's simmered slightly with rage. The kid's screamed,

"Sorry teach your on your own!" One of the fillies said before all of them ran out the room. The teacher looked nervously towards Bumper who's horn was sparking like crazy.

"WHY!? And what class did you switch me too!?" He screamed causing the teacher to flinch,

"Your too good. Listen Bumper your amazing you have potential. But you've reached it and this class has given you more abilities to the point that I can't even teach you! When you first sighed up and I saw you I knew you we're good. Much better then the other's, but I allowed it because I saw thing's you we're weak in. Yesterday you flipped off the ground, landed on the wall. Jumped off it and landed on Crasanthumum's back! She's had to go to the nurse's office! I'm sorry Bumper but you're gonna need a better teacher." She said and Bumper blinked slightly flattered but she had skipped over something,

"What. Class. Did. You. Switch. Me. To." Bumper said taking a step closer every word. The teacher gulped,

"T-Tech Knowledge." She whimpered. Bumper felt his face burn red his heart began to race,

"NO! NO! NO! NO! I CAN'T GO TO THAT CLASS!" He said his voice filling with desperation.

"But it will be something new, something you haven't done before." The teacher quickly said,

"I don't care! It's boring! And stupid! Plus that place is full of nerds and losers!" Bumper argued back. His horn subconscious made a lime green magical blade. With a ribbon wrapped around the handle.

"Self-control! Self-control!" The teacher said ducking down covering her head. Bumper took a deep breath and the sword disappeared. He then used his magic to force the teacher to look into his eye's and said,

"Don't think this is over." Bumper then stormed out of the room and flung the door open. Some colts and fillies, who had been on the other side we're now crushed. While the others we're making a hole for Bumper. They watched in silence as the enraged colt cracked the ground his hooves stomped upon.


"And then I ended up going to that glass and I swear it's as if that teacher is physic!" Bumper said as he was on a video chat with his friends just finishing his tale.

"Okay.....first where is your roommate and your dorm adviser?" Timidthy asked, and Bumper rolled his eye's.

"My dorm adviser tried to calm men down but he left after thirty minutes. Saying he needed to clear his head of nightmares. And my roommate, he left as soon as I showed up." He said,

"I still don't see what's the big deal if you go into that tech class and ace it." Blood Bones said.

"That's exactly the problem! I'm good at it! I made all the chatties your holding in your hooves! I had to make microscopic one's for Spice and Serenity for Celestia's sake!" Bumper argued back,

"So?" Meadow asked.

"SO!? SO!? Alright. Raise your hoof if you've ever gotten bullied, teased, or harassed for something you love doing!" He said and slowly Timidthy, Binkey, and French Press raised their hooves.

"Exactly! I'm not gonna lie playing with technology is relaxing for me. But I know that in this school I'm gonna get a lot of hell just for liking it!" Bumper said, "Just like on how Binkey was and is still getting teased for liking baby stuff. It's something that not everypony will like and understand." Sweet Dreams signed,

"Okay point taken. But how do you know this?" She said. Bumper felt his face redden,

"The other day a filly in the class ended up getting itching powder put in her mane. And the entire filly dorm is laughing at her because of that and how tech smart she is." Everypony's eye's widened,

"Dang." Citrus said.

"So what are you going to do?" Serenity and Spice asked. Bumper then grew a cocky smile and said,

"Easy I'm gonna play it dumb. If I don't learn then my old teacher will have to put me back in her class. Problem solved."

"Seems like it could work." Binkey said while Crepe nodded,

"Good luck, Thumpy." French Press said before her and everypony but Timidthy signed off.

"Alright what is it?" Bumper said knowing that by Timidthy's skeptical look that he wasn't quite convinced,

"No that I want you to fail but I have a feeling that by the way that your plan is going it's gonna blow up in your face." Timidthy said.

"Nonsense how hard can it be?" Bumper said, and his friends sighed.

"Only you can be the pony to answer that." And he sighed off wishing the best for his fighting fanatic friend.
