Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Initial manifestation	4	Identifies two active abilities: Detection, which expands his mental perception, and rudimentary Psychokinesis, which can make a room card levitate briefly. Both heavily exhaust him.
Early training gains	12	Can sustain small-range Detection for over ten minutes and combine it with Psychokinesis for slightly over ten seconds, though the combination leaves him mentally drained. Psychokinesis has improved from barely moving a flower petal.
Established cultivation routine	15	Uses controlled Detection while moving around campus and expends his mental energy through Psychokinesis before sleep, recovering by morning.
Refined practical use	27	Uses his perception to read Horikita Manabu’s movements and evade several attacks without being hit, despite claiming he does not know how to counterattack.

Background / History

Mikage Touji is a transmigrator who begins a new life at Advanced Nurturing High School without the system he expected to rely on. He enrolls in First-Year Class A, where his first encounter with Morishita Ran becomes an immediate contest of stubbornness and curiosity after she demands to know his name. 1 2

During his first days at the school, Touji becomes suspicious of its point-based evaluation structure. He tests whether classroom behavior is monitored by deliberately disrupting class, confirming that the teacher’s lack of response is part of the school’s observation system. He later deduces that academic ability, physical ability, and conduct affect student value and class placement. 4 5

After his system’s disappearance, Touji develops enhanced perception and psychokinesis. Rather than revealing these abilities, he trains them privately and treats them as a long-term advantage. 4 15

Personality

Touji is theatrical, irreverent, and prone to chuunibyou-style performances. His fixation on Ultraman shapes his self-introductions, jokes, imagined techniques, and even his vote in a class popularity ranking. He often uses absurdity to deflect attention or make others underestimate him. 3 16

Beneath that behavior, he is observant and highly opportunistic. He tests systems rather than accepting them at face value, reads social vulnerabilities quickly, and frequently maneuvers others into carrying out his plans. He has no interest in public leadership or Student Council work, preferring to stay outside the spotlight while retaining influence. 5 9 20

Touji can be considerate when he chooses. He reassures Yamamura Miki after accidentally bumping into her, watches over Ichinose Honami while she sleeps in the woods, and helps Horikita Suzune confront her strained relationship with her brother. These actions often coexist with teasing, bargaining, or manipulation. 5 25 29

Abilities & Skills

Detection

Touji’s primary ability amplifies his senses and allows him to extend his mental perception over an area. 4

• Detects activity and gathers information without drawing attention. 4 12
• Helps him perceive and evade Horikita Manabu’s attacks. 27
• Can be maintained for extended periods when its range is restricted. 12 15
• Its effectiveness is not absolute; Yamamura Miki’s exceptionally low presence escaped his notice. 5
• Expanding its range causes physical and mental exhaustion. 4

Psychokinesis

Touji can manifest force remotely and move objects through mental power. 4

• Initially levitates a room card only briefly and unstably. 4
• Improves through repeated use from moving flower petals to more practical applications. 12
• Can be used alongside Detection, though this rapidly drains his mental energy. 12
• He uses nightly exertion and sleep as a training-and-recovery cycle. 15

Analysis and Information Brokerage

Touji excels at identifying hidden rules, testing assumptions, and turning intelligence into leverage.

• Deduces that the school’s point system and class hierarchy conceal larger incentives and penalties. 4 8
• Tests classroom surveillance through disruptive behavior to confirm that students are being evaluated. 5
• Purchases and distributes selected intelligence on the school’s rules while withholding information discovered by Morishita and Yamamura. 8 9
• Uses Katsuragi Kōhei’s credibility to raise one million points for additional intelligence. 9
• Sells Class D exam information to Horikita Suzune, then pressures Horikita Manabu into covering her remaining debt. 42 43

Social Manipulation

Touji can exploit pride, insecurity, and social expectations to steer others.

• Pushes Katsuragi into leading Class A while avoiding the responsibility himself. 9
• Helps Horikita Suzune articulate her feelings toward her brother by impersonating Horikita Manabu over the phone. 29
• Recognizes Kushida Kikyou’s hidden hostility and engages her in a cautious battle of deception after suspecting they possess similar abilities. 18 31
• Recruits Kamuro Masumi after witnessing her shoplifting, offering guidance rather than reporting her. 33 34

Academics and Self-Improvement

Touji initially struggles with Japanese Literature, scoring 9 out of 100 on an end-of-month quiz. 20

• Receives study methods and problem-solving notes from Mashima Tomoya. 35
• Studies with Shiraishi Asuka, Kamuro Masumi, and Kiryūin Fūka. 35 40
• Improves from roughly seventh-grade Japanese Literature to the Class A average within several days of tutoring. 39
• Practices cooking as a personal hobby. 15 18
• Continues writing despite worrying about reader reception and subscription numbers. 37

Relationships

• Morishita Ran — Classmate, rival, and frequent partner in investigating the school. Their relationship is built on sarcasm, competitions, practical cooperation, and repeated “wars” against each other. 1 4 7 26 49
• Shiraishi Asuka — Friendly Class A ally who recognizes Touji’s kindness, offers academic support, and assists him during his conflict with Morishita. 5 20 26 35
• Katsuragi Kōhei — Class A’s public leader, whom Touji deliberately positions as the class’s representative while supplying him with intelligence and strategic direction. 8 9 41
• Yamamura Miki — A low-presence classmate Touji treats kindly and later encourages to use her unnoticed observation skills for intelligence gathering. 5 7 37
• Kiryūin Fūka — A second-year senior who rescues him from Nagumo, drags him into shopping trips, and later becomes his demanding Japanese Literature tutor. 10 40
• Horikita Suzune — An initially hostile acquaintance who becomes Touji’s unlikely friend after he helps address her conflict with Horikita Manabu. He later sells her Class D intelligence. 28 29 43
• Horikita Manabu — Student Council President who tests Touji’s evasive ability, compensates him with 500,000 points, and later assumes Suzune’s debt to him. 27 43
• Kushida Kikyou — A wary adversary in a mutual game of deception. Touji records her violent outburst and later clashes with her through anonymous online messages. 18 31 38
• Kamuro Masumi — A physically capable Class A student Touji recruits into his “Freak Squad.” He pushes her to study and stop shoplifting, though his overbearing approach regularly earns him kicks. 33 35 43
• Ichinose Honami — A Class B student Touji finds unusually helpful. He promises to assist her in the future after she insists that friends can help each other before becoming close. 19 25

Story Role / Major Arcs

School-System Investigation

Touji investigates the school’s concealed rules from his first week onward. He competes with Morishita over information, tests the surveillance system, develops a theory about class value, and obtains intelligence confirming the importance of class points and graduation privileges. 4 5 7 9

Class A’s Shadow Strategist

Although Katsuragi becomes Class A’s visible leader, Touji provides major intelligence and manipulates the class’s decision-making from behind the scenes. His classmates entrust him with their pooled emergency points, giving him the unwanted title of “Mobile Vault.” 9 25

The Horikita Siblings

After meeting Horikita Manabu, Touji becomes entangled in the siblings’ strained relationship. He helps Suzune receive treatment, lends her his phone to contact Manabu, pushes her to confront her feelings, and later uses her exam-information debt to pressure Manabu into paying him. 27 28 29 42 43

Building a Class A Faction

Touji recruits and coordinates unconventional Class A students, particularly Kamuro Masumi and Yamamura Miki. He sees Yamamura’s low presence as a talent for covert observation and attempts to give Kamuro direction through study plans and class-related tasks. 33 34 37

Reputation and Rumors

Touji’s frequent point transfers with Horikita Manabu create suspicion among his classmates. When Morishita interrogates him about the transactions, he struggles to explain the complicated chain of favors, debts, and manipulation behind them. 49
