James Johnson was quite the show-off back in high school, his father being the Deputy Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau in YODC City.
Over the years, environmental protection has become increasingly important, and the power of the Environmental Protection Bureau has grown. Even when James Johnson's father was just a minor section chief, James was already quite arrogant. Now that his father holds significant authority as a Deputy Director, he managed to get him a government job in the District Transportation Bureau after graduation.
With a government job and a powerful father, James always thought of himself as someone who ranked high among his classmates—not the absolute top perhaps, but certainly among the first few. He was usually very haughty, humbling himself a bit for classmates who were doing well, but when it came to small-time employees like James Brown, he was utterly unreserved in his disdain.
