read this only need 2 mins and cliffhanger, damn. hahaha
Ya, dude seems so primed to kill classmates. That's not going to sit right with the whole groupthey friggin' k!lled the informant, poor bastard
also if MC presents himself as the hidden guy and makes the people realize they just wanted to k!ll other people just because, pretty much will pull a reversi on Reito, mob mentality goes crazy specially if trying to escape from guilt of their dumb sh!t
Regardless of what you think about Japanese MCs, Hokage is not in a position where he can easily off Reito without negative consequences to his group. Killing Reito by assassination or whatever at this junction will only unite Reito's group to seek and destroy the hostile group. Announcing hostilities now also will only unite Reito's group.Typical Japenis mangaka. The MC must always be an idiot and try to negotiate peace with psycho murderers and get backstabbed. WWII really did a number on them.
Not that I think the moral high ground would really work, but the kids have been conditioned to follow singular strong leader. Reito has spent the majority of his time intimidating or killing anyone with the will to lead. Oh sure he has a couple of lieutenants, but even this chapter saw them doubting their own actions.Regardless of what you think about Japanese MCs, Hokage is not in a position where he can easily off Reito without negative consequences to his group.

Reito's group is much larger and has the manpower advantage. Hokage's group was utilizing their homefield and resource advantage to pull manpower away from Reito and add to their own. By coming out like this, he's undermining Reito's claim that natives are corrupting the students and taking them hostage. This will fracture Reito's group and diminish the manpower advantage even more. Once Reito is marginalized, Hokage can do whatever he wants with him with minimal repercussions.
Reito can still make up excuses of: "But you assaulted (that bitch whose name I forget even though she was the one seducing hokage in a monkey suit first)! So die!"in fact the MC did reveal himself was a clever idea. it made the group to realize right there it is a HUMAN and he is willing to talk about food and resources. If their leader rejects that.. his group can hear it easily. "WHy did you turn down food and shelter? he only offered that to help us and you... just said no. are you NUTS?" they WILL react on that.
So MC is clever. he just puts the leader in a lose-lose sitatution.
True, and that probably is the best move for him at this point in time. Regardless though, the seeds of doubt have already been sown and Reito's group will fracture. Only the hardcore loyalists will immediately believe his words.Reito can still make up excuses of: "But you assaulted (that bitch whose name I forget even though she was the one seducing hokage in a monkey suit first)!
