Chapter 43: Idiot
The crew were at Vizago's getting him crates in turn for credits. He was trying to count up the amount he owed them but Ezra was tired from the mission and wanted his bed now. He sighed and leaned against the crate in front of him and said "Ok let's not fry the last brain cells you have left. One craft of fruit will sell 50$ on the market but each of these hold about 4 crates so 50x4=200 ,so 200x 4=800, basic math. And we ran into trouble on this so called mission with a load of bucket heads so I'd add about 25$ so that adds up to about $825 so can you give us the money so I can sleep?" Vizago nodded and handed Hera the credits and the droids took the crates away.
On the way back, Sabine quickly asked "How did you do that?" Ezra looked at her with a smirk. "Just because I grew up on the streets doesn't mean I don't know somethings." She nodded but said "Ok but where did you learn?" He replied, "My parents taught me at home so by the time they were taken away at 7, I was already doing multiplication. But on the streets, I stole some books from the library when I was bored." She looked at him bewildered. "And you chose math books out of all the options?" He nodded. "Looked interesting." She chuckled and shook her head.
The next day, Sabine wanted to see how far Ezra was so she sat in the living room with Ezra doing problems. He sat on the couch next to her leaning back with an untouched paper in front of him while Sabine was slouched over the coffee table with a paper with problems all over it. She sat back up and handed him the paper. He quickly took it and picked up the pencil next to him. Not even touching his scrap paper, he filled out every problem ranging from algebra to Calculus. He pushed it over to her and leaned back on the couch with again his eyes closed.
After he few minutes of checking his answers with an answer key, she gasped in shock. He got every single answer right and even she can't do that. She looked over at Ezra only to see him sleeping. She smiled and got up. She pushed him over, picked up his legs, and put them on the couch. She grabbed the blanket from the back and spread it over his form. She grabbed the paper and left quickly.
She met up with everyone in the cockpit and showed them the paper. They looked at it confused and Zeb asked "What's with all the letters and numbers?" She rolled her eyes and said "It's math you bantha! And that's Ezra's paper. It ranges from algebra to calculus. He filled it out without touching his scrap paper. That's very advanced!" They looked towards each other with shocked faces except Zeb who rolled his eyes and said "And why should we care?" She narrowed her eyes at him and said "He should be in College" His eyes grew wide and said "But he's a kid! He shouldn't be in college"
They continued yelling at each other till Ezra walked in stretching and said "What's with all the yelling? I could hear you in the living room" They all stared at him till Sabine burst out "Did you know your suppose to be in College?" They all glared at her but all Ezra did was yawn and reply "Oh that's what's this is about! Don't worry I already graduated high school and college." They all blinked and then all yelled simultaneously "WHAT?!?" He nodded "My parents friend is a teacher at the local College on Lothal so he got me in. I now have a Masters but I'm planning on getting a PhD." They all blinked again and Zeb said curiously "Can I see your diplomas?" He nodded and walked out.
"I don't believe this!" Zeb yelled as he saw the papers. Sabine snatched it and her eyes grew wide as she read. Hera and Kanan read it together and their mouths dropped open. They passed back the papers. He smiled and took them. "If that's all, I'm going back to sleep." He walked out causally and the door shut behind. Kanan suddenly said "I haven't even been to a school before." They looked at him bewildered and then Hera said whiling turning around to the dash board "Me neither" Sabine and Zeb turned towards her too. Sabine suddenly shrugged and said "I joined after I dropped out of my last year at the academy which is high school." Zeb looked at her and shurugged also after a minute and said "I dropped at in my year of College to help Lasan." She smiled softly towards him but his eyes suddenly grew wide and he sat up in his chair and looked at each of them. "Doesn't that mean he's the smartest on the ship?" All the eyes in the room grew wide and then an echoing laugh echoed around the small room.
