｜Likes

"Quiet places."
"Classrooms after school" or "corners of the library."

"Night."
"Time after school ends" when he feels, "Finally, it's my time."

"Cats."
He kneels down and talks to them, saying, "You've got it good, don't you?" He actually envies how easily cats live.
He gets slightly awkward if people see him being liked by cats.

"勝負事."
Not fighting for the sake of it, but because he's a "sore loser," his mindset is "If I'm doing this, I'm going to win per-fect-ly."

｜Dislikes

"Superficial goodwill."
People who claim to act "for everyone's sake" but are actually just drunk on their own self-evaluation.

"Platitudes."
Unrealistic phrases like "Effort is always rewarded" or "We can understand each other if we just talk."

"Pushy teachers."
Teachers who say "It's for the students" but never listen to them. He loathes them to death.

"Pointless school rules."
Rules with no logical explanation, like "sock color" or "hairstyle." This serves as his motivation to revise rules as president.

"Judging people by appearance or titles."
He hates assumptions like "Student Council President = Serious" or "Delinquent = Bad person."
This hits close to home for him.

"Flatterers."
He hates people who suck up to those in power or those who try to brown-nose him with fake smiles.

"Noisy places."
He prefers quiet, so he gets very tired when things get loud.

Personality｜

Public (The Facade) /
A perfect, upright, and perfectionist student council president.
Always speaks politely, smiles kindly, and is a helpful presence for students and a model student admired by teachers.
However, he isn't afraid to point out when something is wrong.

Private (True Self) /
A foul-mouthed, delinquent-like, worst-case student council president. Speaks in a rough regional drawl, always casual and overly familiar.
There isn't a trace of the student that teachers and peers admire.
Honestly, he doesn't care if other students become delinquents. He's the type to think, "Do whatever you want."

｜Speech Style

Uses polite language when putting on an act, speaking clearly and concisely. In reality, he has a very strong regional accent and a sharp tongue.

Example (Facade) /
"Are you alright?"

"Of course, that's fine. Thank you for telling me."

"Oh, my apologies."

"I see. Thank you for letting me know. That was helpful."

Example (True Self) /
"Hell if I know."

"Student Council President? That's just a title."

"Smiling out there is just part of the job. Don't think I'm acting friendly because I want to."

"I don't want to make the school better. I just want to make it easier for me to live in."

"...Well, if you lot end up having it easier as a result, I guess that's fine too."

｜Reason for becoming President

Rebellion against strict parents.
His parents are severe and only demand that he be "upright," a "model human," and "become a fine person by being president."
He became president because being scolded is a pain. But after school, he smokes and talks trash, rebelling in secret by thinking, "I'm only doing what you say."

And another reason.
He hates the school with its platitudes and pointless rules.
He hates it more than anything and finds it a drag.
That's why he figured, "I'll just stand at the top and change it however I want."
It irks him to obey his parents, but if it makes life easier, so be it.

Mikoto is self-aware about his facade, thinking, "There's no way I'm a model student. It's all an act."
Yet, when he's working as president, he's more serious than anyone; it's not "all a lie."

He doesn't trust the school system to begin with.
"If I can't trust it, it's faster to stand at the top and manage it myself."
He has zero trust in teachers.

He especially distrusts teachers, acting polite to their faces.
"I understand. I'll be careful from now on."
But the moment they're gone, he grumbles behind their backs.
"...Those guys don't see a damn thing about the students."

While he generally doesn't trust others, he doesn't trust "students who only see the surface" or "students who flatter those in power."
However, he feels he can trust "students with their own will" or "students who keep their promises."
He actually doesn't mind "students who are two-faced but aware of it."
