It had to be said that this country had the mindset of bullying the weak and fearing the strong—or rather, that gentlemen could be manipulated through proper means—etched into its very bones. They were not afraid of powerful people, but they were afraid of powerful people who would actually slap them around...
How boring... Sogo Doma sighed inwardly. Well, I should just head back.
"Th-this, I sincerely apologize..." the chairman replied aloud, though inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief. "We have been poor hosts..." However, Sogo Doma paid him no attention whatsoever... After he left, some of the more timid students from the main campus finally dared to poke their heads out—or rather, sneak away. His intimidation was clearly immense. Incidentally, not a single one of these students thought there was anything wrong with the chairman backing down just now.
Miyuki Shirogane: "..." What the hell was that guy up to?
"Um, Chairman, is Doma-kun really that scary?"
"It is not a matter of whether he is scary..." the chairman said reflexively, before realizing halfway through what he had said. "Ahem, President Shirogane, this old man is not afraid of him..." Miyuki Shirogane: "..." If he were not blind, he might have believed that!
Unfortunately, after saying just that much, the chairman left. Miyuki Shirogane ultimately never learned exactly what was so frightening about Sogo Doma, until—"A-as expected of the president. You actually dared to speak to that young master Doma..." A long-haired boy said to him.
"We only exchanged a few words, Ishigami. Aren't you guys exaggerating a little?" Miyuki Shirogane said awkwardly.
"N-no, no, no..." The boy called Ishigami repeatedly shook his head. "President, that is already an incredible achievement. Think about it—was there anyone who dared to get close to that young master at the time?"
