COTE: Popularity System

Upon arriving at Advanced Nurturing High School, Takada Hikaru awakened the Popularity System. As long as he performs well in the eyes of the anime viewers, he can gain Popularity Points, which he can exchange for abilities in the System Mall. To maximize Popularity Points, Hikaru decided to cultivate his persona. Mysterious: He always speaks in half-truths and is a riddle teller. Kind: He lends a helping hand to those in trouble, even if it seems foolish to outsiders. Powerful: He uses Popularity Points to frantically enhance his combat power, reaching a point where he can easily defeat Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. Over time, whenever the viewers see him appear, they can't help but exclaim, "Everyone, come quick! The real protagonist has arrived!" — Description from novelcodex.org
