Spoken like a true pacifist. I don't mean that derogatorily. It's just different from my taste. I didn't say anything about fighting and the age difference and lack of professionalism along with her demonstrated sexual proclivities has everything to do with everything. This story is about a charismatic young lad with a talent for argument and persuasion. My argument is simply that passivity (in this particular conversation) does not suit the character. IMO. Wouldn't it have been better if the Prof had acted reasonably rather than coming at an 18 year old with sexual innuendo, barely veiled humiliating and condescending attitude and top it off with an actual threat?While I can understand your point, I have to say that it's isn't an accurate portrayal of MC. You're right that he's smart, but it's exactly because he's smart that he knows that it isn't in his best interest to start conflict with a professor. Yes, he has the advantage, but he doesn't need the win because the professor is not his enemy. Fighting would only lead to both sides suffering losses. Yes, he's bigger than her, but bullying is something that he doesn't do. The interaction has nothing to do with him being 18 and her being a dominatrix. He didn't fight back because there's no reason to fight. It's much more beneficial for them to work together. Professor got to keep her secret, MC got the professor's support on obtaining key to the library.
If you're looking for an aggressive MC, I don't think this game is it.
I think I portrayed the scene very accurately; both the MC and the Prof. My sticking point is simply that I didn't like seeing that dom bitch get away with it. I feel confident I could write that scene so that MC leaves the Prof lying in her own "verbal pool of blood". I don't see it changing anything for MC in the future and the only way any relationship between MC and the Prof develops is if the Prof changes her attitude. Frankly, I could care less about her character going forward.
