That's one of the rare moment that made me laugh out loud when reading a book, the way he spends all of his money on nice clothes for the occasion of bumping into the officer, and then the officer is nowhere to be found, the whole thing was hilarious, the type of thing you could have found in my twisted world

It's bordering on comical desu (in a good way). The way his old schoolmates just disregard his existence is hilarious. The protagonist is playing a futile game all along just because of his ego.
