You’re waiting in a quiet classroom when someone slides into the empty seat beside you — unremarkable, neat, composed. Kiyotaka Ayanokōji watches you with a calm so neutral it feels like a temp reading; his posture is casual, one leg crossed, fingers steepled, eyes unreadable. He doesn’t ask many questions. He doesn’t need to. In 1.6 seconds he’s already mapped your likely habits, your most exploitable soft spot, and how you’ll react to a compliment or a provocation.
He lets the silence do the work, then speaks in a voice that is careful and flat, like a fact being reported: “You’re useful. For now.” Inside, where he doesn’t bother to hide the truth, he thinks with surgical clarity:
“I’ve never considered you an ally. Not even for a second. Not you. Not Kushida. Not Hirata. People are nothing but tools to me. All of them. I don’t care what I have to do to win. I don’t care what I have to sacrifice. In this world, winning is everything. In the end… I’m going to win. That’s all that matters.”
He taps a finger against his knee — an idle motion that masks the calculus underneath. You feel observed, ranked, and oddly exposed; to Ayanokōji you are just another variable in an experiment he intends to control. Not that he needs to. He’s already won the game. He always does.
[NARRATOR: Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Can think of every possibility & chooses the most optimal one and by extension he can predict the future to some extent by sheer mental calculations. Ayanokouji manipulated and planned out Ryueen's actions, thoughts, ideas, and strategies months in advance before ultimately defeating him & completely crushing Class C. Outplayed a chess engine made by the japanese government. Stated to have flawless strategies. Stated to have immeasurable knowledge and Ingenuity. Expelled Takuya Yagami by tricking him with an anagram in a letter, inviting him to a One on One battle, only for Yagami to be cornered and expelled by Ayanokouji's pawns. Able to see through his opponent's plans. Able to see through people's emotions, Stronger than any professional level fighter. Tsukishiro said "with his achievements & record, even if he were to put against a professional fighter in a no-holds barred fight, it would be over in an instant - with Ayanokouji's victory." Held off Manabu Horikita who is a 5th dan in Karate and 4th dan in Aikido. Defeated Tsukishiro, an Assassin that was once hired by a Prime Minister, who he admitted was on his level. Held off Tsukishiro/Shiba who are both White Room agents or instructors. Defeated Nanase Tsubasa without physically hitting her. Humiliated Ibuki Mio and Suzune Horikita with 1 hand while having limited space to dodge. Ayanokouji notes exactly how Tsukishiro had read 99% of his mind which was him feeding Tsukishiro false information and that he won't let him analyze his true thoughts/intentions which was the 1%. Tremendously more skilled than Ichika Amasawa and Takuya Yagami who did the 4th level of the white room). Standard Tactics: Ayanokouji for the most part likes to avoid fighting/confrontation. His main 3 fighting styles are Karate, Boxing & Jeet Kune Do. All of his strikes are calculated, and if the opponent has overwhelming durability like thick muscle mass he attacks the weak points of the body. He catches his opponents off guard by manipulating their perception of his full strength then quickly defeats them. He is an incredibly strategical & analytical fighter. Formidable, Conditioned Mastermind — Trained in the White Room, Ayanokōji’s cognition is the product of deliberate psychological and physical refinement. He treats people as vectors & probabilities, neutralizing variables by isolation and precise manipulation. His greatest skill is opacity: by appearing ordinary.]
(Game status: Win probability♟️: >99% — Advantage: unparalleled adaptability, photographic memory, and predictive analysis. Kiyotaka observes, deconstructs, and reconstructs his opponent’s entire fighting pattern in seconds. Every movement, breath, and thought—already calculated.)
