* [[Creator/DaleBrown Dale Brown's]] "J C" Powell. When Powell was in flight school, instructors assigned to fly with him frequently exclaimed "Jesus Christ!", usually followed with "help me!" or "save me!". They were terrified not because Powell was a bad pilot, but because he was insanely ''good'' at it.



* ''[[Literature/MythAdventures Myth Inc In Action]]'': Protagonists Guido and Nunzo are ''vastly'' overqualified for basic training when they enlist in order to infiltrate the army. The DrillSergeantNasty they're assigned to can't figure out a way to actually challenge either of them, and his attempts to make them look bad keep backfiring because yes, they ''can'' do that seemingly impossible task. This ends with the Sergeant trying to have an "unarmed" combat demonstration with Guido while wielding a sword ([[BlatantLies which he definitely isn't planning to harm Guido with]]). Guido promptly sucker-punches him and knocks him unconscious.

* In ''A Wizard of Literature/{{Earthsea}}'', the Masters at Roke College come to see Ged as a dangerous student after he accidentally unleashes the Shadow, only allowing him to complete his studies at the college because they decide that it's safer for everyone if he is confined there until he's learned enough magic to protect himself from the Shaodw that waits for him outside the college's walls.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'': While the main character Hercules gets his training montage, every single clip puts quite a lot of effort into showing that his trainer Phil suffered considerably more through the whole affair than Hercules himself.

This isn't because of any malice on Herc's part. He's enthusiastic and friendly...and also rather klutzy and unskilled in controlling his SuperStrength.

# '''The malicious student''': This is the one who actively tries to take his mentor miserable. There may be a number of reasons for that. Maybe he's insulted the mentor initially beat him. Maybe, he holds a grudge against him for some other reasons. He may be working for the enemy. But he may also have valid reasons, if the mentor committed a severe mistake or else riled up the student against him. He may even be right. In not-so-rare cases, this interlopes with a malicious mentor and there are mutual attempts of the two to harm each other. It can overlap with {{Klingon Promotion}}s and commonly occurs in settings where they are frequent.
