ness loves the reading aspect of english but hates the essay writing (persuasive, argumentative, etc) but likes creative writing. spanish, he likes because he can make poems and stuff. he dislikes math but hes decent ish at it. he dislikes his bio class even more and is barely passing

not 100% sure on the specifics of a possible 20 year old competing in hs football so i left it out. kaiser might be able to use the 'i went pro, hs football is too weak for me' excuse but eh, ill figure it out later

theres no consequences to him hiding his age, not exactly. theres no possible way it could be revealed bc no one talks to a dusty old man like noa, and kaiser doesn't have any friends here unless you count ness, and ness wouldn't give a shit if kaiser was 10000 years old.

but it is a vulnerability

he pretends that he wasn't counting on his fingers and figuring out what multiplication was when his peers were learning trigonometry and precalculus, he pretends that he doesn't spend hours with noa on his math homework, and he pretends that he is smarter than his peers and always has been.

-when she inevitably found out that he started school late she adopted this patronizing tone to her voice and actions, and he knew at that point she had seen him as lesser than.

and it just stuck with him. he's better than that, so he pretends he didn't have a 3rd grade reading level at age 14

it just, it gets on his nerves. he remembers the first teacher he talked to about his age; how she had a confused look on her face because kaiser excelled in most of his subjects so how could he have been held back, and then-

- or aiku, serial cheater who has a fb group dedicated to warning incoming freshmen about him.

and besides, aiku's in 12th grade and lorenzo is lorenzo (10th, but hes very open about having just started school at 16).

kaiser's clearly different. so he lies and says he's 18.

its an unfortunate combination of being held back a grade and his late birthday. there are other 19 year olds in blue lock high (who named this goddamn school) but kaiser does not want to associate with lorenzo, who meows at people and licked a urinal for $20-

kaiser's greatest shame isn't that his dad used to beat him or that his mom left him or that his legal guardian is the hardass math teacher mr. noa or that he chokes himself sometimes. he can make jokes out of that.

he's embarrassed about the fact that he's in 11th grade and he's 19.

anri managed to make it more palatable (she was about to stab ego to death) (she probably labeled it under 'hologram tech complications' or 'gym equipment' and got some more funding.)

and then ego brought out wild card...

and then there was the final product.

late at night, when only ego is awake, he turns on blue lock man to the noel noa setting he painstakingly crafted and makes it play soccer. naked. with a chain around its neck. and he watches it through his cameras to get multiple angles.

he spends a few days deliberating on the swell of not-noa's chest. when all was mostly done, he was left with a hologram of noa in boxers. but it wasnt enough.

it had been years, but ego did know what noa's dick looked and felt like. he adds in details between tests until it feels mostly right.

if noa was a senseless, thrill seeking beast, ego was a hunter who wanted to capture its likeness above his fireplace and stare at him for hours on end.

ego uses his memory to fill in the gaps whenever video fails him. he puts in noas tan lines, the stretch marks around his butt and thighs-
