Edgar is first seen attending Mr. Rzykruski's class giving out the subject of lightning and thunder during science class, where he discusses with his class that the other teacher, Mr. Holcomb, had an incident as Edgar replies that he was hit by lightning which Mr. Rzykruski denies, telling him that lightning does not hit a person the way they are hit by a baseball or a cabbage, as lightning is simply electricity just as he continues giving his class a subject about lightning and electricity. After class, he later approaches his classmate Victor Frankenstein, telling him that he must have a partner to participate in the science fair, offering him to pick Edgar as a partner, which Victor tells him that the use of death rays is not allowed when participating, telling him that he works alone. During a game of baseball, Edgar watches Victor participating, alongside the other students which Victor suddenly gets a home run during the game, causing the crowd to cheer.
