Welcome to Gaia! ::

He was still apprehensive when he arrived, bundled up in a simple black down coat with a grey and black striped scarf he looked like a trundling piece of charcoal more than someone even remotely in holiday spirit.

His hands were wedged deep into his pockets and his chin tucked tight to his chest though he squinted at his target though the sharp cold wind, it wasn't truly -awful- he was just apprehensive and that just made the chill of the evening that much worse than it was.
He figured he had enough of a hard time dealing with his own emotions without actually talking about them, contrary as that thought process might be so at least the promise it wasn't 'relationship' issues was somewhat comforting but the number of potential things Demy might say was not comforting at ALL.

"Alright...It's cold...I'm here... what's the deal?"

"What do I think about it?" He repeated with a careful if suspicious look. "The student part, or the rest of it..." He asked with a small frown, generally speaking most of the teachers didn't drive him crazy enough to think one way or another about them, the students though had always been a whole separate issue.
"And why... are you planning on transferring?"
He did though take a somewhat reluctant seat beside the taller young man and turned his suspicious gaze to follow as though he were trying to find a book of secrets in the acidic green eyes.

"We'll get you tutors..." He said declining to answer how he felt about school, high school in particular.
"I'll help as well... but you won't be held back." He scowled deeply. Was he really talking about what he thought he was?
"You want to make it go General don't you? That's more than just focusing on 'what the negaverse wants' that's time management... even the Queen balances a civilian life with Being our queen..."
It was in Zee's own way intended as a 'pep talk' if an rather distinctly critical one. He didn't intend it to be he just didn't understand.

"Don't under..." he sputtered.
"Dem... history at the least... if we don't learn from the past, look at the tactics, look at the people look at the change in ideals, we can change the world they way they did, it's important to know that... and what about calculating Star seeds per lieutenant and the mass output of said energy!? Someday we're going to need that! This is important! I know the perspective is hard now but don't you think its the same for the civilians? Do you think they understand that their sacrificing for the greater interest of a whole planet?
How the hell did you get down to D's! I was helping you! What about the papers I helped you write?! He sputtered between appalled and baffled.
He didn't even understand how you could miss someone who never replied, why didn't Demy just -hate- him and have done with, he had no problem Hating Sailor Lyra...


He pinched his nose and tried to calm down. "********..." He said low and shaking his head.

"Think... think of memorizing your equations as memorizing facts about senshi, VITAL facts that you will need to share with your team, with the queen even... each time you manage to memorize and use that information your honing a skill that will make the queen proud.... History... don't just stop at what the book says, we'll dig up the really good bits on the library computers, we'll find battle plans and maps and talk about who did what, what sank where...
Chemistry... Biology...both are so useful. Chemistry... what if you found yourself in a lab, you could mix something to take down a senshi with... biology ... you know better where to hit, what's vital what's not.. better it gives you at least a basic understanding to help your team... learning is ALL about perspective. Being held back isn't a curse even... being behind someone isn't SHAMEFUL, because you learn at your own pace, you get there at your OWN pace AND you can learn from those who went before... you can DO this Dem... you can make -everyone- proud and it'll be because your not just thinking with your fists. It'll take time... you won't turn overnight into a tactician but you'll be better for it no matter what.

Hell... he knew at his core that not everyone WAS a tactician, not everyone was suited for what they thought they wanted... he was coming slowly to grips with that himself having heard a tape of his own violin playing... it wasn't awful... but it wasn't nearly what he thought. But it wasn't what Dem needed to hear right now.

"Well... then we'll just have to get you turned around enough not to be held back... you'll balance your night schedule better, you'll make sure you get SOME sleep and patrolling will be a -reward- for getting your homework done... weekends can help you make up projects AND quotas and your team will help you!" He said ticking off each point on his gloved fingers.
"You have something here to work for Dem... It's going to take a lot of effort.... call it practice for the skills you'll need as a General... and we will make it to General... you mark my words..." he nodded sharply
"AND..." he snapped "Do -not- give me this 'as far as you can go' line...you focus on each goal as it comes, or you'll just end up more frustrated your not at the finish line yet!" He scolded.

"School AND General...at LEAST equally balanced" he said with a fold of his arms. "Otherwise... you might use getting to general as an -excuse- and be held back... On par... alright? So that you will be a GOOD general not just 'A' general..."
