You are the boss!

"Who's the boss?"

Hearing this.

Looking into the deep eyes of Prince Ganlongdao, Albert, clutching his neck, trembled with fear.

He naturally preferred peace over conflict, enjoying fitness and possessing outstanding natural talent.

Relying on his formidable strength, Albert had never been bullied by anyone before.

As long as Albert spoke up, most people would give him some face.

Now, the pain radiating from his throat, instantly made Albert feel terror.

The Prince Ganlongdao before him was far stronger than Dragon Garden, and his heart was even more ruthless; he was simply no match for him.

Even though his throat ached and his voice was somewhat hoarse, he instinctively squeezed out a sound to respond to Prince Ganlongdao's words.

"You are boss!"

"Very good."

Prince Ganlongdao smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned to look at the others.

"Now I'll ask one more time: from now on, I am the boss of this class."

"Who approves, and who opposes?"

"..."

The students in the classroom exchanged glances.

No one responded, which should have counted as a tacit agreement.

However.

"Last time."

Prince Ganlongdao chuckled, "Who approves, and who opposes?"

"I approve!"

Daichi Ishizaki raised his hand, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

Previously, there was a basic tacit understanding that silence represented default agreement, but Prince Ganlongdao didn't seem to buy into that.

"Mm."

Prince Ganlongdao nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing no one else respond, he turned and walked over to Kaneda, smiling.

"This student Kaneda? Do you have some sort of opinion about me?"

"..."

Thinking of how Albert and Dragon Garden had been beaten, Kaneda hesitated for a moment but remained honest.

"No."

Slap!

A crisp sound of a slap rang out.

Prince Ganlongdao backhanded him across the face.

"If you have no opinion, how dare you not answer my question?"

"..."

Kaneda clutched the spot where he had been hit.

Feeling the gazes of those around him, his cheeks flushed red, and he wished he could fight Prince Ganlongdao right then and there.

But thinking of the gap in strength between them, the attitude of their homeroom teacher Sakagami, and the possibility of it affecting his future career opportunities, Kaneda clenched his fists and lowered his head without saying a word.

Slap!

Prince Ganlongdao slapped him across the face again.

In reality, only Dragon Garden was barely qualified to make him slightly change his strategy; for everyone else, violence was more than enough.

"You..."

Kaneda glared at Prince Ganlongdao with a vicious look in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't answer my question again. If you have no objections, why didn't you reply?"

"I..."

Kaneda looked at Prince Ganlongdao's palm, gritting his teeth as he forced out two words.

"I forgot..."

"Only this once."

Prince Ganlongdao stood before him, two heads taller than Kaneda.

He looked down at the other boy from a position of superiority.

"Answer me now: from now on, I am the boss of this class. Do you approve, or do you oppose?"

Feeling the gazes of those around him, Kaneda felt a burning pain on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Approve."

"Did you not eat? Speak up!"

"Approve!"

Kaneda glared at him and roared, "From now on, you are the boss of this class. Are you satisfied now?"

"..."

Prince Ganlongdao's expression was slightly playful.

Feeling his gaze, Kaneda lowered his head like a quail, terrified of being hit.

This guy was clearly unconvinced, yet hindered by his own pride, unwilling to show weakness while simultaneously too afraid of Prince Ganlongdao's violence to openly resist.

It resulted in such a twisted state, unable to move forward or back down.

"That's enough for today."

Prince Ganlongdao didn't bother with his pride, turning his head to smile at the rest of the class.

"Back to the previous topic!"

"From now on, I am the boss of this class. Do you approve, or do you oppose!"

"Gulp..."

Someone swallowed hard.

Prince Ganlongdao was not only stronger than Dragon Garden, but also more violent and domineering; he didn't even allow for silence.

However.

Thinking about it carefully.

It was just answering a question; it wouldn't kill anyone, anyway.

"Approve..."

Someone replied listlessly.

Immediately after, there was a chaotic chorus of responses, some loud and some soft.

Bang.

Prince Ganlongdao tapped the desk and suddenly barked:

"Did you not eat? Speak up."

"Approve!"

Daichi Ishizaki and the others responded in unison.

Watching the scene before him, Prince Ganlongdao nodded with satisfaction.

This was more like it.

What happened just now lacked any sense of discipline.

Having lived in war-torn lands, he had exceptionally high requirements for discipline.

Only strict discipline, could ensure the combat effectiveness of a team.

Moreover.

This also counted as a test of obedience, which would be beneficial for him to lead the class in the future.

At this moment, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind again.

[Daichi Ishizaki feels respect for the host's formidable strength, Conquest Points +1!]

[Albert Yamada feels fear toward the host, Conquest Points +1]

Prince Ganlongdao raised an eyebrow.

So that's how it is.

The others are only submitting in words, not in heart?

After going through so much trouble, he had only conquered two people.

Prince Ganlongdao wasn't dissatisfied; on the contrary, he was actually quite pleased.

The fact that people like Ishizaki and Albert were conquered so easily only proved that they had simple and pure personalities.

In this world, only two types of people can be trusted.

One is the straightforward, the other is the simple-minded.

The straightforward don't play mind games, and the simple-minded have no mind games to play.

In one fell swoop.

To be able to find one straightforward person and one simple-minded person.

Prince Ganlongdao was already very satisfied.

As for whether they are loyal or not, it has no necessary connection to the difficulty of conquering them.

The problem is.

'System, I have already become the leader of Class C, why hasn't the mission been completed? You aren't expecting these people to be sincerely convinced for it to count, are you?'

Prince Ganlongdao asked in his heart with a furrowed brow.

He wasn't some high schooler suffering from eighth-grader syndrome; he naturally understood the essence of this world.

Except for straightforward people like Ishizaki and Albert who would willingly express submission, everyone in the world has their own selfish motives.

Trying to make everyone in Class C sincerely convinced is an impossible mission.

Even ancient emperors using the Three Fundamental Bonds and Five Constant Virtues couldn't make their subjects completely loyal, so he naturally couldn't do it either; being able to become a community of shared interests was already good enough.

Unless.

Unless it rewarded him with a hypnosis app, that would be a different story.

[Detected that Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio have not approved of the host becoming the class leader, therefore the mission cannot be completed.]

Prince Ganlongdao breathed a sigh of relief.

That's more like it.

As for the two Conquest Points he gained, he would check them when he returned to the dormitory.

Looking at the anxious expressions of the crowd, Prince Ganlongdao smiled.

"Alright, let's go attend the entrance ceremony."

"BOSS."

Albert, having recovered, looked at Ryuen on the ground with some concern.

"What about him?"

"Don't worry, he won't die, just leave him here."

Prince Ganlongdao glanced at Ryuen on the floor and turned to leave the classroom; the others in the classroom also took a look at Ryuen.

After a moment of hesitation.

They were too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

Whether Ryuen attended the entrance ceremony or not, what did it have to do with them?

Besides, Ryuen didn't look like a good person anyway.

At this moment.

A girl ran up to Prince Ganlongdao's side.
