We see many instances of Leona giving orders to others in the game and being instantly obeyed, by members of his own dorm, by the members of other dorms, by the members of both his club and of other clubs.
Leona also gives orders during Book 7 (obeyed by the entire team) and Playfulland (obeyed by the prefect, Jack and Kalim).
While Spectral Soiree begins rough for the group of Ace, Leona and Floyd, by the end both the younger students are following Leona’s orders, and the same for Jamil in Book 6, who also obeys without question during NBC.
At the start of NBC it seems it is Leona who sets their game plan for how to handle Skully, agreed to by the entire group of Malleus, Vil, Idia, Azul, Riddle, Jade, Jamil and Trey. When Leona orders the other Housewardens to clear a path for Idia in Book 7, Azul and Riddle instantly obey.
Leona seems well-liked by his dorm before, during and after the events of Book 2 (a point that is emphasized in the novel as something that Riddle aspires to achieve for himself someday).
“Despite recent events, it seems Leona has not lost the trust of Savanaclaw’s students. It is a testament to how skilled their housewarden truly is, and the degree to which they respect him. Even in Leona’s battered state, no one hesitates to obey him.”
After Leona saves Jack from a fight against several older students Ruggie observes, “Whatever you say. You brought some rebellious dorm kids in line and put a promising freshman in your debt.” Leona says it is just a part of being housewarden and Ruggie responds, “You’re strong, smart, AND you cover your bases. Savanaclaw couldn’t ask for a better pack leader!”
Leona’s dormmates take offense on his behalf when it is revealed that the prefect stepped on his tail and, when it looks like his plan of Book 2 might succeed, they say that everyone in Leona’s kingdom will have some second thoughts about who should be the next king.
On Leona’s birthday his room is invaded by multiple Savanaclaw students demanding that he get out of bed so that they will be able to celebrate him. Leona tries to downplay the situation when he runs into Lilia in a crowd of his own dormmates, but Lilia says he looks pleased.
Leona says that his dorm’s students keep challenging him to chess games on his birthday “like it’s some kinda birthday treat” even though they barely know the rules.
Mistaking believing that he has been turned into a tsum, Leona walks in on Ruggie and several members of Savanaclaw crying over his transformation into “some weird, adorable creature,” saying, “IT’S SO TRAGIC!” (Leona: “How stupid can you guys get?”)
