In "The Blood of Olympus" by Rick Riordan, a humorous exchange occurs between Leo and Senor Zhang, highlighting their dynamic relationship. Leo brings up a quote that suggests Zhang has called him a genius among demigods. However, Zhang's response indicates that not only did he never make such a statement, but he also finds the claim quite exaggerated.

This moment showcases Leo's playful nature and tendency for self-aggrandizement, while Zhang's reaction underscores a sense of reality and humor. Their interaction reflects the camaraderie and lighthearted banter typical of Riordan's writing, even in the context of a high-stakes adventure.
