As a former master of rat races, Sogo Doma understood one truth better than anyone else—there were only two ways to defeat an opponent. First, improve yourself. Second, drag your opponent down.
And if he wanted to defeat an opponent as quickly as possible, the second route was naturally far more convenient. After all, while you were getting stronger, everyone else was getting stronger too!
"The difference is simple..." Therefore, Sogo Doma, master of rat races, gave a simple answer. "It'd be easy to make Cash Machine Princess surpass Touma. Once I have the time, I'll just go find her and break her hands..." In truth, whether it was Kotaro Katsura, Mai Sakurajima, or Utaha Kasumigaoka, they all understood that logic. But Sogo Doma was the only person they had ever seen who dared to say it so openly!
"Are you the devil?" Compared to them, the members of Muse, who were still sheltered in their ivory tower, clearly couldn't accept it.
"Relax, relax..." Sogo Doma merely waved his hand. "It's just breaking some hands. I used to break my arms and legs all the time when I was little, and I'm fine now, aren't I? Besides, once I break Touma's hands, I can just heal them afterward, right?"
"Sogo..." Even Kotaro Katsura could no longer sit still. "Little Touma is your junior disciple, no matter what, isn't she?"
"Oh, right~!" Sogo Doma hesitated. "Touma is my junior disciple, after all. We're childhood friends, as close as siblings..." Everyone: "..." Hey, hey, who was just saying he would break her hands?
However...
"So I'll have to charge more..." Before they could even dwell on that, Sogo Doma abruptly changed his tune. "Cash Mach—cough, cough, Boss Nishikino, I'm not trying to rip you off. Katsura Kotaro reminded me..." Everyone: "..." Was
