[ how to say "i think they should understand you are not destined for higher education" in a way that isn't insulting to your pookie bear... ]
youve already got offers with larger salaries than theirs so i dont think the should worry about your future, really but i guess knowing more isnt such a bad thing either? actually... you should take a picture of your assignment pile and show it to me... [ suddenly, an ominous foreboding has overcome him. ]
[ he'll get a picture of a pile of books, notebooks and loose papers that looks very much like rin has simply pushed everything school related together into one heap. which isn't too far off because he tosses everything studying related into a corner and ignores it until it becomes a problem. kaiser is right, this pookie bear is a dumbass... ]
[ things that people should not be saying to their minor boyfriend, number 1. ]
i didnt finish high school either
[ ... things that people should not be saying to their minor boyfriend, number 2. ]
if you think about it, its a roundabout compliment when people say that all a person has going for them is football
[ things that people should NOT be saying to their minor boyfriend, number 3... brings to mind the infamous "normal potatoes to 1" florian wirtz moment and the equally legendary "i don't regret saying i like potatoes" follow-up... ]
[ "your honor, i have nothing to say in my defense. there's nothing to defend. you're just jealous of me." ]
i mean... if it takes up too much time and effort then it might be better just to opt out, yeah sometimes younger players have to skip games for school stuff too it depends on the personal cost-benefit trade-off i think
[ when lamine yamal has to go to school and everybody is like "is barca cooked?" ]
on second thought maybe you should try ill do some of the work for you we shouldnt have two uneducated people in this relationship if it can be helped
[ so no, it's not about the optics of convincing your minor boyfriend to drop out. it's that if one of them is going to have to get a degree to improve the optics of the relationship... then kaiser doesn't want it to be him. ]
[ but an art degree is perfect for a trophy wife... ]
okay fair enough. can you start organizing everything by subject, ill start helping as soon as i get there
[ this is what kaneshiro was talking about when he started cooking that shit about geniuses vs. talented learners, right? anyways, kaiser might not have attended school properly, but for some reason he reads and takes notes anyways... so he's taking his preferred writing utensils and one of his mostly empty notebooks over with him. alright... what's the damage. ]
[ well bobin does deserve a parent who is artsy...
the damage is huge, btw, as evident by the piles rin has arranged around himself in a circle. he looks up when the door opens, a hand moving some papers from one pile to the next and then back again. ]
How do I tell apart what's math and what's physics...?
[ they're both math to him but one is more evil than the other?? ]
[ this is a crazy question to ask somebody who has recently admitted he dropped out, but rin is in luck, because kaiser has an answer. ]
I think physics has Greek letters, usually? [ there is an audible question mark to that, though. may↓beee↑? ] Here, let me take a look.
[ kaiser doesn't know, he just has baseless confidence and decisiveness. he'll park his ass down next to rin and start contributing to the organization, even though he thinks biology and chemistry are the same thing and he can't read anything that's mostly in japanese... ]
[ he'll believe it because kaiser is smart. at least to him. ]
... a few. [ he glances at kaiser which makes it very obvious that he doesn't want to say it but it's him so rin has to say it but--!! ] Two.
[ some more rifling through loose papers that seem to be english homework and eventually get thrown to the side because he at least does his english homework. just not the english creative writing assignments. ]
[ kaiser really benefits from the intellectual bar in blue lock being so incredibly low, where there are multiple characters whose main shtick is "he's doopid..." also, oh boy, kaiser is doing his best to not look like he got stunlocked by that answer. he's just assuming, at this point, that two months is more like "11 weeks" than "8 weeks"... ]
In a way, this is what two months of thinking looks like... [ he gets the feeling that rin will not particularly appreciate this metaphor, so let him move onto more practical matters. ] What percentage is the bare minimum to pass your classes?
[ they're going to have to game this one for the sake of time efficiency. and possibly also get professor google involved... ]
