Black Swords Are Better
A Fantasy trope, but can show up in other genres as well. Want to show that some kind of sword is cool, powerful, deadly, etc? Make this sword black. It can be simply blued, but sometimes it is made of some fantasy metal which is naturally black. Meteoric iron is often misrepresented as a naturally black metal. (It actually doesn't look all that different from terrestrial iron, once forged and worked.)
School Grade Hacking
So you are a young Techno Wizard who happens to underperform at school. Luckily, the school's database is online, allowing you to hack into the system and improve your grades effortlessly with the click of a button.
If the student isn't equipped to hack the computer themself, they may enlist a brilliant friend to help them out. The coup may also be done to either up- or downgrade someone else's scores or to tamper with other sensitive information besides grades.
