Unusual abilities are freqently looked upon as coming from Satan and not G-d in True Trumpian fashion. Satan can wear a lovely face so it does matter how good it seems or how long it lasts. The other guy is always wrong and you are right.
He is tested and taken to Battle School despite family objection. We follow him up to the ship where we have been many times with Dink and Ender and Bean and and are with Zeck as he willfully gets the lowest score ever when he refuses to shoot anyone and has to be sent home.
