So there's this scene that happened in the novel, idk if they're gonna put it but it happened after Takuto broke the tree house and fell from it, tho they didn't show in the manga that he actually discovered his strength which existed from the beginning and he forgot about or like only awakened it, in the novel, a fllash back happened after that: about his life before this. He was known as a powerful player but due to his illness, he couldn't join official tournaments (There was also rumours that he is extremely sick so yes, they didn't know that he WAS sick and still could crush anyone) so he was very mysterious. One of the players in the interview from the original game "Eternal Nations" known as cLoser or Closer something. He was asked about his status as the "King Who Can't Become a King" because he would always be second to Takuto although he's always first in official tournaments who never shows up and it was like a known fact to everyone that no one can beat him in any game that he has played. Closer said when asked about his(Takuto) true strength . . "The secret of Ira-Takuto's strength, huh?" . "Well... he does have a certain characteristic. Maybe you could call it a bad habit?" . "He plays around every time. He cuts corners, or underestimates things, or makes lazy judgments like, 'Well, this should be fine.' He has that kind of bad habit." . "Yes... but if you do something like that at the beginning of the game, you'll lose in an instant, right? Even I know very well that Eternal Nations is not an easy game." "That's right," Close nodded, and in his mind his opinion of the editor rose just a little. "That's why he's the best." . "--No one can surpass Ira-Takuto when he gets serious." The editor involuntarily gulped and went quiet at the seriousness of those words. . "Listen, Editor-san. I've suspected that it might be an AI developed by some company. I don't know what it is, but I think it might be maintaining its strength through some kind of fraud." (Yes, he' so strong, he thought Takuto was an AI) . "I'll give you a word of warning. I understand that you're interested in Ira-Takuto, but I think it would be best not to anger him." "It's especially bad when you make him lose his temper. He'll use every possible means to retaliate and break your heart. I've sworn I'll never have anything to do with him again." . "I still get nervous when I hear his name." The editor nodded quietly and vowed not to pry any further. cLoser's hands were definitely shaking.
