19	----
20	!!''Classroom of the Elite: The Eroge'' provides examples of:
21	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
22	** Due to his DatingSim SuddenGameInterface Kiyotaka's romantic relationships expand further than just Kei compared to the canon light novels, with many other female characters gaining a romantic interest in him.
23	** The two changes in Kiyotaka's relationships ''before'' gaining his powers however his acquaintance with Matsuo Eiichirō and Nanase Tsubasa as he never met the former (especially when he was dead at some point after the events of Volume 7) nor the latter until ''Classroom of the Elite: Year 2'' respectively.
24	** Kei never had the chance to have Yōsuke as part of her BoyfriendBluff from canon due to the Co-Ed living arrangement committed by Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers.
25	* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade:
26	** Unlike the canon series, Matsuo and his son Eiichirō won't be DrivenToSuicide by Atsuomi because Tsubasa is one of Kiyotaka's heroines.
27	** Tsubasa herself also doesn't become revenge-driven once she goes to the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School, given that her ChildhoodFriend won't die in tragedy.
28	** Unlike the canon series, Satou Maya won't have her LoveConfession for Kiyotaka be turned down as she's slated to be one of his heroines.
29	* AdaptationalDumbass:
30	** Subverted with Kiyotaka. He's still brilliant and deductive from the canon light novels but his current situation regarding his DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers distracts him from figuring out the S-system of Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School before it gets officially revealed.
31	** In regards to the other characters, especially the antagonists, it's justified given the reality-warping features of Kiyotaka's SuddenGameInterface (something that Kiyotaka correctly theorizes InUniverse).
32	*** During the special event where he "conveniently" walked in on Kikyo venting, the latter gains a lapse in judgment regarding where she could vent her frustrations without anyone seeing or hearing her; in broad daylight and in a place where any student would usually walk through after class. Kiyotaka theorizes that the system either placed a PerceptionFilter on Kikyo to make her invisible to everyone besides him or influenced others to keep away from the place she was in.
33	*** Despite Professor Ayanokouji's being a man of [[AmbitionIsEvil relentless ambition]] [[TheUnfettered unfettered by morals with the willingness to do]] ''[[TheUnfettered anything]]'' [[TheUnfettered to achieve his goals]], he rarely takes an active role in getting Kiyotaka back to the White Room, simply sending Amasawa Ichika to "keep an eye" on him instead of ordering her to explicitly get him expelled from the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School (despite knowing that this would've only tip his son off).
34	*** Class 1-C's attempt to sabotage Class 1-D by scapegoating [[PointOfDivergence Miyake Akito instead of Sudo Ken]] in a WoundedGazelleGambit during the fic's version of Volume 2 proves to be this in hindsight. Whereas Ken would be a more appropriate scapegoat due to his HotBlooded personality, athleticism, and the rivalry he had with the perpetrators like in canon, it's not so effective with Akito due to him being TheStoic, not a very good fighter in general, and having no prior connection before the assault. As a rightful consequence, Komiya Kyōgo and Kondō Reo are expelled instead of suspended in the fic.
35	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
36	** Matsuo and his son Eiichirō made a physical appearance in the first chapter of the fic whereas they're never mentioned until Volume 7 of the canon light novels.
37	** Nanase Tsubasa also made her first appearance in the first chapter of the fic, unlike the canon light novels where she debuted in the first volume of ''Year 2''.
38	** Like Tsubasa, Amasawa Ichika made her debut in the first volume ''Year 2'' of the canon light novels. Here, she transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School during the events of Volume 2 as part of the system influencing Atsuomi's decisions.
39	* AdaptationalKarma:
40	** It's heavily implied that Kei's childhood bullies are going to be getting their long-due karma due to Kiyotaka's SuddenGameInterface.
41	** In addition to being arrested for his AttemptedRape of Airi, [[StalkerWithACrush Kusuda Yukitsu]] gets his [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown ass beat]] by Kiyotaka and then his [[GroinAttack nuts smashed for good measure]] by Airi after being sick of his delusional crush.
42	* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
43	** Although it might be the result of the wacky hijinks caused by Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface, he slowly becomes kinder in his interactions with the heroines, whether it be providing a supportive ear or doing things in their defense. A good example is where he explicitly shows disgust of [[BullyBrutality Kei's bullies and the heinous things they've committed towards her in elementary and middle school]] during their heart-to-heart conversation in chapter 14 (even entertaining the thought of socially assassinating them once he graduates), whereas Kiyotaka's canon counterpart acts nearly the exact opposite regarding Kei's trauma instead and took advantage of it to conditioned her to his side.
44	** Thanks to Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers, any girl who is registered as a heroine will slowly become much nicer than they started in canon.
45	* AdaptationalSexuality: PlayedForLaughs. In the canon series, it's never explicit what Chihiro's sexuality is aside from her deep affection for Honami, who is attractive enough that EvenTheGirlsWantHer, even after her LoveConfession was turned down. Here, WordOfGod and the system have Chihiro's sexuality listed as homosexual before changing to heterosexual upon being chosen to be one of Kiyotaka's heroines.
46	* AdaptedOut: [[OutdatedByCanon Because the fic was published before Volume 0]], [[ChildhoodFriends Yuki and Shiro]] doesn't exist, or more charitably from Yuki's EarlyBirdCameo in the anime, never choose to interact with Kiyotaka at all and played no further importance in his life.
47	* AgeGapRomance: Much to Kiyotaka's shock, his DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers recognize Chabashira Sae as a heroine despite the latter being a fully grown woman. Although they have yet to date due to circumstances, Kiyotaka plans to develop a TeacherStudentRomance with Sae by taking advantage of the "blackmail" she tried to perform on him from the canon light novels. WordOfGod also reveals that Hoshinomiya Chie will be added to Kiyotaka's harem.
48	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: PlayedForLaughs. Although Arisu was attracted to Kiyotaka for his accomplishments as a "fake genuis" in the White Room, she felt ''more'' attracted to him after he deliberately cornered her against her room door and was ''real'' close to her face. Her NotSoStoic reaction after the ordeal can only be described as 'Superior into Inferior'.
49	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Kikyo gives this sort of question when Suzune continues to refuse her offer of friendship, pointing out her friendship with Kiyotaka and what makes him someone worthy of her trust. This causes Suzune to freeze momentarily and remember Kiyotaka comforting her when she saw her brother again, and realize that it wasn't fair of her to put up resistance to Kikyo's earnest attempts at friendship.
50	* BigShutUp: Airi yells this towards [[StalkerWithACrush Kusuda Yukitsu]] after [[RageBreakingPoint having enough of his creepy behavior]] right before [[GroinAttack stomping on his crotch]] ''[[GroinAttack hard]]''.
51	* BirdsOfAFeather: Like in the canon series, Kiyotaka and Kei get along with each other the most given their similar traumatic pasts and putting on a "face" to protect themselves.
52	* BoyfriendBluff: {{Subverted\|Trope}}. Instead of Yōsuke, Kei approaches Kiyotaka with this proposition only for their conversation to confide in each other's deepest traumas of their past (though not all of it on Kiyotaka's side given the governmental-level conspiracy of the White Room).
53	* TheBusCameBack: Tsubasa gets a scene in chapter 12 after her previous appearance in the first chapter, where Kiyotaka earns affection points after realizing his growing bond with her before the start of the fic.
54	* ComicallyInvincibleHero: Thanks to the reality-warping features of the SuddenGameInterface, Kiyotaka's goal of pursuing freedom is ensured while being able to romance his designated heroines as a bonus with all of the hilarity that would ensue.
55	* CosmicPlaything: Kiyotaka soon finds himself thinking of being a cosmic plaything in regards to his [[OutsideContextProblem dating sim powers]].
56	* ClingyJealousGirl: Nearly all of Kiyotaka's heroines display a jealous streak towards each other as they subconsciously vile for his attention and affection.
57	* CuddleBug: Thanks to Kiyotaka's powers developing an ability to give addicting hugs (after Kei gives him a hug after a heart-to-heart), said girl becomes this to him.
58	* CureYourGays: A very rare [[PlayedForLaughs comedic example]] than anything negative with Shiranami Chihiro. Like in canon, she was deeply infatuated with Honami and was heartbroken after the latter turned down her confession. Afterward, Chihiro's previous crush on Honami is transferred to Kiyotaka after being comforted by him immediately after Honami's rejection, with the system changing Chihiro's sexuality from homosexual to heterosexual according to WordOfGod.
59	* CuteAndPsycho:
60	** Like the canon light novels, Kikyo has good looks and a friendly personality made her popular with her classmates. But with her dark side shown, she's two-faced, selfish, self-righteous, possessive, manipulative, and can have insane reactions. Her InUniverse relationship status labels her as "Lovely-Dovey Psycho" at Level 2.
61	** Ichika is similar to Kikyo regarding their good looks and "hidden sides", but is far more dangerous given her status as a 5th generation student in the White Room and her [[LikeAGodToMe quasi-religious view of Kiyotaka]].
62	* DenserAndWackier: {{Downplayed\|trope}}. While the fic still emulates the original canon light novels' PsychologicalThriller and philosophical theme, Kiyotaka's newfound DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers create many more comedic moments in the narrative.
63	* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Due to his Literature/DocSavage-esque upbringing in the White Room Kiyotaka is [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower physically, intellectually, and mentally at the peak of the human condition]] for his age with the implication that his conditioning is comparable to ''trained adults''. But with the added DatingSim SuddenGameInterface into the mix, he's capable of affecting ''reality'' so long as it pertains to his love interests' happiness.
64	* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being apathetic to very many things because of his upbringing as the 'Masterpiece', even Kiyotaka is disgusted by [[StalkerWithACrush Kusuda]].
65	* GroinAttack: Airi gives her stalker a hard one after he gets lost in his delusions again when she stops Kiyotaka from committing murder.
66	* HaremGenre: Kiyotaka's newfound DatingSim powers involve him gaining more than one female LoveInterest.
67	* HistoryRepeats: Kiyotaka spells out to Kikyo that her IrrationalHatred and paranoia of Suzune would lead to a repeat of what happened in their previous school since the girl hasn't really done anything horrible to her nor does it look like she cared for the past event. It thankfully lessens the importance of Kikyo's {{Revenge}} to Suzune for the former.
68	* InsufferableImbecile: Like the canon series, Yamauchi Haruki is one of the biggest idiots of Class-D, but even compared to Sudo and Ike, he's obnoxious, rude, a chronic liar, and an EntitledBastard who believes that he's a "hotshot" ChickMagnet worthy of any girls affections despite being "plain-looking" ''at best'' and unwilling to put ''any'' effort in gaining their affections, even without interference from Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers. Also, likely, his eventual expulsion like his canon counterpart won't be a matter of "if", but ''when''.
69	* InvincibleHero: With a SuddenGameInterface at his disposal (although it's sometimes not very reliable), it's not a matter of ''if'' Kiyotaka would win, but ''when'' he'll win and how awesome he'll look.
70	* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: The story starts with Kiyotaka waking up for his first day at Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School, only for the "alarm" to be a notification of his DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers congratulating his first journey as a "Harem Protagonist".
71	** {{Inverted\|Trope}} with the heroines towards Kiyotaka as his newfound DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers slowly make them feel "attracted" to him.
72	* JerkassToOne: {{Inverted\|Trope}} with the more unfriendly heroines to Kiyotaka as he gains Affection Points from them.
73	** To everyone, besides her brother, Suzune ranges from being cold, formal, annoyed, or insulting towards them. Whenever she interacts with Kiyotaka, Suzune is notably polite and slightly affectionate.
74	** Kikyo acts as a NiceGirl towards everyone but the number of people she's genuinely nice to can be counted on one hand while secretly disdainful towards a lot of her classmates, especially [[ArchEnemy Suzune]], [[ThoseTwoGuys Kanji, and Haruki]]. Kiyotaka is the only one whose feelings towards her are something she genuinely cares about and was willing to let him go upon him finding out about her true nature when she was venting.
75	** Kei acts as a stuck-up and self-centered popular girl who relishes getting attention [[BeneathTheMask as a façade to hide the deep trauma and sadness of being viciously bullied in elementary and middle school]]. But with Kiyotaka, Kei becomes less guarded before gradually opening up to him about her troubled past.
76	* LaughingMad: When Kiyotaka "conveniently" walks upon Kikyo venting her frustrations during her special event in chapter 11, the latter gives off a hysterical laugh that creeps out Kiyotaka after asking (i.e. demands) him how much he hears her.
77	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Unfortunately for Miyake, Haruka could only see him as a brother that she looks out for despite his romantic interest in her, and she hopes that he won't confess and if so, she'll have to reject him and then hope he'll move on.
78	* LoveConfession: As of chapter 26, Airi is the first heroine to verbally declare her love for Kiyotaka.
79	* LovedByAll: {{Justified\|Trope}}. Thanks to Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers, the heroines he encounters will all develop an unexplained form of affection towards him that grows upon gaining affection points.
80	* LoveRedeems:
81	** Influenced by the system or not, Kiyotaka and his heroines slowly improve as people than what they would usually be in canon ([[ClingyJealousGirl clinginess]] aside).
82	** Aside from them, Sudo and Ike also become better both as people and in academic intelligence because of their {{Love Interest}}s [[PassionateSportsGirl Onodera]] and [[BelligerentSexualTension Shinohara]] respectively. This is also one of the things that separates Ike from the HateSink [[InsufferableImbecile Yamauchi]].
83	* MoralityPet: {{Enforced\|Trope}} on the heroines who are chosen by Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface.
84	** Kushida Kikyo is much more genuinely kind to him and can't bring herself to go against him nor attempt a FalseRapeAccusation like her canon counterpart when he finds out about her true nature in a special event, even willing to let him go despite her usual paranoia regarding the idea of ''anyone'' knowing her secret past no matter how slim it is and losing her popularity. After their bond reaches Level 2 and by the time of chapter 16, Kikyo is willing to show off her affection by giving him her first kiss ''in front of their entire class'' and [[SugaryMalice nicely threatens]] [[AllMenArePerverts Yamauchi Haruki]] of "[[FreudianThreat cutting them off]]" [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend if he talks harshly to Kiyotaka again]].
85	** According to the final draft of the list created by WordOfGod on ''Wattpad'', [[AlphaBitch Manabe Shiho]] is slated to become one of Kiyotaka's heroines in the fic's version of Volume 4.
86	* MuggingTheMonster: {{Subverted\|trope}} and PlayedForLaughs. Kikyo attempted to strangle Ichika in chapter 26 after her jealousy and patience with her mischievous attitude hit a breaking point, but couldn't due to Kei unknowingly stepping in front of her. Plus, even if Kikyo tried to strangle Ichika, it would only result in a CurbStompBattle due to Ichika being a 5th generation student of the White Room.
87	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: After Kusuda finally outright assaults Airi within Kiyotaka's view, he wastes little to no time and tackles the stalker off her, then beats the guy to the point that Airi had to stop him from committing murder and say the pervert's NotWorthKilling.
88	* NotSoAboveItAll: PlayedForLaughs. Despite priding herself as a "natural genius" while showing an air of superiority towards others, the moment Kiyotaka decides to pull a WallPinOfLove on her, Arisu quickly loses her smug smile and is reduced to a blushing schoolgirl in love with her crush.
89	* NotSoStoic:
90	** There's not a lot that can break Kiyotaka's usual stoic persona, but experiencing the results of making the 3 choices and '''[A Special Event Has Been Triggered!]''' feature for the first time at different intervals does cause him to be surprised.
91	** PlayedForLaughs with Arisu's introduction. She presents herself as a SmugSmiler with the utmost confidence of being a "natural genuis" capable of defeating Kiyotaka, the "fake genuis" in their (technical) second meeting. But upon triggering the special event, Kiyotaka decides to have a bit of fun by putting Arisu's confidence to the test by ''deliberately cornering her against her room door and getting real close to her face''. The result leaves her completely broken off her usual facade as she never ''actually'' dealt with someone willing to invade her personal space despite her intelligence and social status. Afterward, Arisu is left as a blushing, embarrassed schoolgirl who isn't as "superior" as she believes herself to be and has to spend ''three whole days'' shutting herself in her room and then avoiding any contact with Kiyotaka for ''two whole months''.
92	* NowOrNeverKiss: {{Downplayed\|trope}}. After completing the first Bonus Scene in chapter 15 and gaining a new skill called, "[[TheMagicTouch Cleanliness Needs Handiness]]", Chiaki becomes so aroused from Kiyotaka's backwashing that she throws caution into the wind, [[WardrobeMalfunction along with her towel]], and give him a deep FirstKiss. Afterward, Arisu took her chance by giving Kiyotaka her own first kiss as well.
93	* OutsideContextProblem: While the setting of ''Classroom of the Elite'' does include state-of-the-art technology that's a bit more advanced than RealLife, it's still [[LikeRealityUnlessNoted relatively grounded in realism]] with the usual problems that Kiyotaka faces being quite mundane, befitting the PsychologicalThriller genre. However, despite admitting to himself that there's not much that can surprise him after the "things" he saw in his childhood, Kiyotaka is unprepared to deal with a DatingSim SuddenGameInterface that throws things out of whack due to its self-aware nature and reality-warping features.
94	* PlotArmor: With the system being a SuddenGameInterface capable of ''reality warping'', though tailored for the HaremGenre, nothing will inconvenience Kiyotaka in his journey for freedom and being in a polyamorous relationship with twenty-three girls and two adult women.
95	* PointOfDivergence: Plenty of things change in this timeline compared to the canon light novels.
96	** Yuki and Shiro are not involved in Kiyotaka's childhood during his time in the White Room. It's justified due to their existence [[OutdatedByCanon predating the fic's publication]].
97	** A year before the start of the canon series, Kiyotaka bonded with Matsuo Eiichirō and Nanase Tsubasa. This is in contrast to the canon series as he never met either of them; he only heard of Matsuo Eiichirō through Matsuo's stories of his son (and it doesn't help that Eiichirō killed himself out of despair sometime after Volume 7) and later meets Nanase Tsubasa at the start of ''Year 2'' as an antagonist until the end of Volume 3.
98	** Thanks to the system, Kiyotaka's relationship with his chosen heroines leads to them being kinder and fond of him as he racks up Affection Points. In turn, they would also act in ways that would change certain events from canon.
99	** Due to the Co-Ed arrangements created through Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface powers, Kei never had the chance to enter a FakeRelationship with Yōsuke in a BoyfriendBluff attempt to become popular due to her outrage and caution of the idea of living near the opposite gender.
100	** Instead of Sudou, Akito is the one that made TheScapegoat for Class 1-C to target as part of the system's attempt for Kiyotaka to romance Haruka.
101	** According to WordOfGod in this [[https://www.wattpad.com/user/RainSennin/conversations#1788283637 conversation]], Manabe Shiho won't be bullying Kei due to the latter not doing anything to provoke Class 1-C's anger in the fic's version of Volume 4, and Kei would be too preoccupied with her newfound feelings for Kiyotaka.
102	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Not Kiyotaka, but his SuddenGameInterface is implied to be homophobic given the emphasis on the word "'''GAY'''" in Chihiro's summary. However, it's a rare PlayedForLaughs example as the system [[CureYourGays changed Chihiro's sexuality to heterosexual]] and [[SingleTargetSexuality only having eyes for Kiyotaka]].
103	* PowerIncontinence: Kiyotaka can't control his newfound DatingSim SuddenGameInterface as it has a mind of its own for the most part.
104	* PromotedToLoveInterest: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. In the canon light novels, Karuizawa Kei is the only girl to get a RelationshipUpgrade with Kiyotaka whereas the other female characters only have ShipTease, hostility, professionalism, and friendly, competitive, or neutral moments with the latter. In the fic, the other female characters become his {{Love Interest}}s due to the DatingSim SuddenGameInterface.
105	* PutOnTheBus: Like the canon series, Tsubasa won't be joining the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School until Kiyotaka and his peers are in their second year.
106	* RealityWarper: Thanks to Kiyotaka's DatingSim SuddenGameInterface, he's capable of affecting the reality of his world so long as it pertains to his heroines' happiness. The difference between his and [[Fanfic/SAOTheEroge Kirito's]] is that it's a lot less subtle about it and often doesn't bother making them look like {{Contrived Coincidence}}s (though only he could realize that).
107	* RecursiveFanfiction: As stated in the official summary, the premise of the story is based on Creator/SaintInfernalNeos' ''Fanfic/SAOTheEroge'' (i.e. a stoic badass KidHero gaining SuddenGameInterface powers involving DatingSim mechanics).
108	* RefugeInAudacity: More often than Kiyotaka would like, the third, ''flirty'' choice ends up working as the best choice for him.
109	* SecondLove: Although it'll take some time, Kiyotaka becomes Chihiro's second love after Honami gently rejects her LoveConfession in chapter 21.
110	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: As Airi confesses her feelings to Kiyotaka in chapter 26, she also rewards him by wearing only a bikini as they lay in bed together.
111	* ShipperOnDeck:
112	** Kiyotaka's powers influenced the dorm placements of each student as that aside from Kiyotaka and his heroines, those with a high chance of becoming a couple (the canon [[BelligerentSexualTension Ike/Shinohara]] pairing, and Suno and Onodera) are neighbors.
113	** Manabu also ships his sister with Kiyotaka after seeing how much the latter improves the former's personality.
114	** The system then [[PairTheSpares pairs up]] Miyake with Inogashira and Mori during the former's case, as Haruka was PromotedToLoveInterest.
115	* SingleTargetSexuality: {{Justified\|trope}} with the heroines due to the system, meaning they'll only have eyes for Kiyotaka.
116	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: In general, the heroines are attractive to Kiyotaka due to his growing kindness towards them and others.
117	* SmoochOfVictory: Haruka gives Kiyotaka a kiss of appreciation on the cheek after proving Akito's innocence from Class-C's attempt to expel him.
118	* SparedByTheAdaptation: While [[AlphaBitch Manabe Shiho]] doesn't die in the canon series, she was expelled from the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School in place of Ryuen Kakeru due to Kiyotaka's machinations, along with the assistance of Class 1-C. Since Shiho is slated to be one of Kiyotaka's heroines in the fic by WordOfGod, she won't be expelled like her canon counterpart.
119	* SuddenGameInterface: Of the DatingSim variety just like in ''Fanfic/SAOTheEroge''.
120	* ThanksForTheMammary: A non-physical contact example with Sakura Airi. After complimenting Suzune, Kikyo, and Chiaki without tact, Kiyotaka excused himself to the men's restroom to wash his face. Humorously, he also happens to see Airi just as she takes off her bra and bears witness to her exposed breasts and the system taking a photo of them.
121	* TimeMaster:
122	** One feature of the special event involves time working in a MindScrew way that would give Kiyotaka enough time to raise affection points with a heroine or meet a new one.
123	** Aside from time-stopping whenever Kiyotaka has to pick a choice, he could also do so himself willingly whenever he opens up his menu.
124	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Male variant. As Kiyotaka notes, his powers subtly influence him to protect his heroines. While he'll usually just plan for the fool's downfall in time, he's more than willing to get physical once they cross the line (and with him being in peak human condition, he's more than capable of backing himself up).
125	* WartsAndAll: Kiyotaka is willing to [[SecretKeeper not tell anyone]] about Kikyo's fake mask, because he's her friend. This is ultimately the reason that drove Kikyo to later kiss him in front of everyone in Class-D, as [[YouAreWorthHell he has more worth than "a stupid mask"]].
126	* WhatsHeGotThatIAintGot: When Kiyotaka continues to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject when Kikyo "asks" him an ArmorPiercingQuestion regarding a choice between liking her or Suzune, Kikyo gets mad at his indecision by saying that she's ''way'' better than the latter until she quickly believes there's another girl he knows.
127	* WhenHeSmiles:
128	** Whenever Kiyotaka actually smiles for real, whether on his own or through his powers' assistance, his heroines find him more attractive than usual.
129	** Kiyotaka also feels this towards Kikyo after she shows him a genuine smile.
130	* WomenPreferStrongMen: As Arisu demonstrates towards Kiyotaka, she's deeply head-over-heels about his capabilities from the White Room. It becomes more notable when Kiyotaka does a WallPinOfLove on her in their first formal meeting, with Arisu admitting to herself that had he gone further, she would've submitted to his dominance right there.
