And not only that, he's upset that he was hospitalized over something as trivial as overworking on a school festival, instead of overworking on his studies. He cruelly points out that his "so-called" friends didn't visit him during his hospitalization (which happened during a school festival, so they obviously couldn't skip work to visit).

* HiddenDepths: While those who know him tend to view him as a shady slacker (and not without reason), he shows these as president of Silver Spoon:
** He's shown to be exceptionally handy, creating both a portable refractory oven (which winds up providing Silver Spoon with needed capital early on) and a movable sty (which makes keeping the pasture pigs easier, particularly in the winter.)
** He has good presence when doing interviews as president of Silver Spoon (which leads Yugo and others to call out said interviews as fradulent given their own opinion of him.)
** He shows a decent amount of emotional intelligence and awareness, as seen when he asks if Grandpa Mikage can take care and train a pony he was given for use with Silver Spoon's operations (ostensibly because he wouldn't be able to devote the time to the task properly, but it's clear he could see how much working with the horse would mean to him.)
