Before the screen displayed the list of the new clubs…
Yuki had to tip his hat to the headmaster. The man was truly a master at manipulating public opinion. First, the headmaster guilt-tripped the students, making them believe it was their fault that the old clubs were disbanded. The information further solidified this idea in their minds, forcing the students to accept the blame.
The headmaster also changed the subject quickly, preventing the students from questioning the validity of his statements. As long as the seed of doubt was planted in everyone's hearts, it would be easy for the school to exert more control over the students in the future.
As a cherry on top, the headmaster 'deliberately' ignored the allegations about the Maiko group and all the negative rumors surrounding them. Anyone who didn't know the full story and listened to his seemingly sincere speech would believe that the school genuinely cared about the students' future.
