he liked the idea of school! intelligence! discussing smart topics! everyone working toward greater goals....
oh wait what's that Gozaburo and an over inflated ego YEAH that makes school pretty 1. stressful and 2. boring when not stressful
SO KAIBA HAS Gozaburo School, which was all the hellish tutoring and late-night studying and surprise extreme tests and basically forever being pushed to a breaking point, which he despised for obvious reasons (and then almost appreciated for a bit bc twisted mindset made him think it helped him but yami broke him of that).
Then there's Normal School, which was full of incompetent, easily manipulated teachers, stupid textbooks way below his level, and classmates who grated on his nerves with their meaningless frivolous goals and dreams and hopes and yeah he might've been occasionally bitter over how easy they had it but they were LESSER and DUMB so WHATEVER
........... he skipped as often as he could and twisted teacher's arms into over looking his absences with great grades and creepy child-working-the-system nonsense. and oh, he always got good grades. but he despised the entire system and structure every step along the way-- I imagine when he did have to go to school he was a pit of stress over the PRODUCTIVE stuff he could be doing, which resulted in him being isolated from the class aside from being known as "that rich intense kid," and teachers didn't like him because he weaseled out of participation/group projects and always subtly insulted them in his papers. as a consequence he didn't go Above and Beyond in Normal School, and Gozaburo School was shit all over sooo.
did they like teachers, classmates, school in general?
