Kiryu, you an army of hyper chaotic gremlins behind you, your leader (who's probably going to "not"- cry if anything happens to you) right besides you, a whole school of sweet kickers of ass, adoring villagers who's ready to flame the fans, and the whole multiple gangs who'll come running. And one of them is a real working adults.
....so whyyy
I thought we already learn from anzai??? And sakura???
Kiryuuuu you're cute, but i think you need to eat sweets. You're not really thinking right now.
Also wtf, everything's wrong with the thugs. Ewwww.
But honestly this is kind of worrying, we're getting into more scarier topics. I hope the boys would not fight real gangs and never meets murder moving forward. That's really worrying.

He got eaten LMAOOO
Anyway if anyone was wondering why he mention his position, it's because spirits are hierarchical creatures. The Fire Drake spirit is a high tier spirit which makes him some kind of celebrity, so almost all spirits know him. Mentioning how he was above that, results in the respect he got now.
Also, for people who worries about harem or annoying romances. As someone who read to 300-ish of novel chapters, I assure you that this story has NO ROMANCE, like AT ALL. It never goes beyond respect, admiration and spiteful admiration. People are all focusing in self-improvement following grandfell's belief, working hard so hoyeol wont have to shoulder all burdens alone, finding their own "Pride" and/or just trying to figure out whatever the fuck is "Pride" is in the first place (lol).
Yup, hoyeol is creating his own cult.
