## History

### Hercules' First Day of School

At the cafeteria, Icarus told Jercules to try to stop "acting like the new guy". But then Hercules accidentally emptied the whole fruit horn, and Icarus warned that these were the sort of things that would get someone labelled for life. The prince **Adonis** then took Icarus' plate while he was still serving himself. Hercules thought they should immediately take it back, but Icarus urged that Adonis' royal status made him politically untouchable in the school. He then made the score clear that in comparison, him and Hercules were losers.

Adonis later tossed Icarus his cup from the upper balcony, expecting him to give him a refill. Hercules snatched it and brought it to Adonis empty, angering the entitled student. Adonis ordered his two bodyguards to humiliate Hercules, and they kicked him off the balcony. Hercules fell onto Ajax's table, who accidentally bit into his foot as he laid upside down.

He also threw Hercules his ID, and commented that he'd "seen gorgons with better pictures than that". The entire cafeteria erupted into laughter, and Hercules walked away saddened, his reputation shattered already.

The next day at school, Hercules ran around panicking. He found Cassandra and asked him if anything happened. She joked telling him that Rome fell, but then assured it won't happen for centuries. Icarus then nonchalantly added that a cyclops was rampaging in the school. Icarus joked that some thought it might be a new student.

The cyclops was rampaging in the cafeteria, telling anyone who was royalty or heroic to line up to be eaten. Hercules confronted them. Adonis sent his guards but they were swept away easily. Ardonis feigned a heroic attitude, and admitted that he's a prince. The cyclops immediately grabbed him. Stalling them, Hercules mentioned that they wouldn't be able to prove to Echidna that he was a prince. So, they got Mr. Parenthesis to draw a picture of them holding him. While they were distracted, Hercules fought them, throwing them, tripping them, and then punching them through the roof. The roof collapsed.

Icarus lamented that he was going to be the best man at he and Cassandra's wedding. Cassandra felt the cusp of emotion she was feeling fade from disgust after that comment. Hercules came out of the rubble fine. Meanwhile, Adonis was bragging that he defeated the cyclops and whispered to them to "play along and I'll make it worth your while". Hercules accepted that the school won't realize it was him who defeated the cyclops, and Cassandra noted that he was maturing.

### Internship Week

Adonis was given a easy job at Panasonicles, a theater for children, mostly with hand puppets. Adonis thought this fitting, as he "is royalty" and the shop was founded by royals. He was carried off by his bodyguards to the shop. Adonis later came and mocked Hercules at Gyro World. He looked at the salad bar, and while selecting, accidentally knocked it over. This caused a domino effect which Hercules tried to stop, and everything in the shop fell over and Hercules was drenched in smoothie.

Adonis found it all amusing, laughing at Hercules and he got humiliated and quit. Throwing away his gloves. Later that day, Adonis was considering quitting his job for some reason even though it didn't involve much. He then saw someone fly overhead, and Hercules told him "how's this for a job?" as he flew Apollo's chariot.
