“There are three ways we can resolve this confrontation: with prudence, by priveledge, or through power.” then snap his fingers and apply flight magic to the bullies sending them crashing into the walls. Calmly walking up to the bully A while wreathing himself in a fiery halo, “Which do you think I am most capable of?”

thats what he should of done.

What’s “honor?”
Is it tasty?

“Sophia’s opinon of him”
It’s actually pretty bad, and with her personality, she may be excited by his groveling form, after the fear of the other nobles wears off.

“he could have stated who he was really,”
Who is he, really? Just some ugly middle aged Japanese guy, like he said, no one knows he killed a dragon, a flight of wyverns, or overpowered an Ancient Dragon. If he reveals his op magic here, even if he doesn’t kill anyone, it may bite him in the ass, like when he tried to intimidate Lord Fahren.

yeah, one can only lose his honor when they care about it but for Tanaka to kneel to skip bothersome problems is way better than protecting an honor that he doesn’t give a fuck about

My though exactly. It was stupid and pathetic (there were plenty other ways to deal with it). I would have at least expected him to care about Sophia’s opinon of him.
That was disgusting. Not because he’s perverted no, but because he was so ridiculously submissive.

Her behavior was still far better than Tanaka’s.
I don’t mind him being perverted, ugly or middle-aged, but I was seriously disgusted by his ridiculous behavior here. Someone that kneel so easily without any real reason (he could have stated who he was really, or show of his power without killing people) is just the worst kind of worm. I would have destroyed his face if it was in front of me.
Typical submissive Japanese shit. Wtf seriously.
