You see Hermes knew what he wanted to do before he even came to the academy. It was the thing he was good at. He liked chemicals and potions. So it was only obvious that he’d eventually become what were they called apothecaries or something. He wanted to make a potion that made people’s lives better. He wanted to prove to all those silly bullies that tried to put him down for having weird pupils that he was better for them and if he hadn’t been awoken they’d still be stuck. It was a dream that got more and more solid as he grew up and got better at chemistry.
So he didn’t need an essay or an assignment that made him think about what he wanted to do. He knew exactly what he wanted to do, and so each time his answer would be the same.
