4	[[AC: General]]
5	* Every time Leon gets "[[SpringtimeForHitler rewarded]]" [[KickedUpstairs with a promotion]], often leading to melodramatic tears. It gets more hilarious when King Roland who happens to be [[TooMuchAlike similar to Leon]] uses the promotions as a way to blackmail and get revenge at Leon.
6	* Luxion, the sassy RobotBuddy who never misses a chance to be a ServileSnarker to Leon
7	* Marie's PerpetualPoverty and her attempts to get out of it but unfortunately the Five Idiots making things worse than ever.

10	* Leon's SanitySlippage after reaching his RageBreakingPoint at the NintendoHard "otome"/strategy game.
11	** The dub version of the anime has this amazing line when pre-reincarnation Leon is forced to [[PayToWin buy premium cheat items]] to get through the otome game's FakeDifficulty:
12	---> '''Leon:''' [[LaughingMad HAHA!]] Behold, the Power of a FUNCTIONAL ADULT!
13	* In the manga, Leon despairs at having to court a noble-ranked RoyalBrat like Zola due to his promotion to Baron. Balcus tries to reassure him that noble girls aren't all that bad, [[InstantlyProvenWrong only for]] Jenna and Finley to barge in and demand more money from him. Balcus [[FacePalm concedes the point]].
14	* Lucas the teacher who teaches etiquette to the boys successfully convincing Leon on the virtue of the tea ceremony where before he was dismissive of it. His friends Daniel and Raymond are dumbfounded by the shift.
15	* The five-on-one MiniMecha duel of the Five Losers versus Leon is just absolutely '''full''' of both this trope and Awesome trope category.
16	-->'''Leon:''' I'm sure Marie still has a shoulder for you to cry on, you can brag to her about your "hard work." \
17	'''Chris:''' ''(dejectedly whimpers)'' \
18	''({{Beat}})'' \
19	'''Luxion:''' You've earned a new title: "Scumbag" \
20	'''Leon:''' Shut up.
21	** In the English version of the manga, Leon says the following [[KickThemWhileTheyreDown after defeating Chris]]:
22	---> '''Leon:''' Save that self-pity for your girlfriend. She'll play you The WorldsSmallestViolin.
23	** Julius tries to gain the moral high ground but instead falls into a RhetoricalQuestionBlunder:
24	---> '''Julius:''' How does it feel to abuse your power and look down on others? \
25	'''Leon:''' '''''[[SmugSuper ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!]]''''' It's the best feeling in the world to crush you guys after you were talking so big! [[AtLeastIAdmitIt I may be arrogant]], but you still can't defeat me. [[IShallTauntYou How do ''you'' feel about being beaten by someone you looked down on]], Your Royal Highness?
26	* "Everyone, [[HypocriticalHumor GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY!!]]"
27	** In the Dub: Well folks, them's the harsh realities of gamblin'!
28	* Zola's OhCrapSmile when she realizes she just insulted the daughter of House Redgrave.
29	* Jenna being punished for nearly killing her brother by... [[SpoiledBrat having to pull up weeds]].
30	--> '''Jenna:''' Waaah!! I don't wanna work!!!

33	[[AC:Volume 2]]
34	* Leon's [[LaughingMad gleeful]] retaliation against the Offrey girl and her Exclusive Servants after they trashed his SchoolFestival café and [[UnintentionallyNotoriousCrime unknowingly threatened the queen]], giving him the perfect excuse.
35	--> '''Leon: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. BRING. JUSTICE!]]'''
36	** ...[[GilliganCut which ends abruptly]] with Leon being scolded by his Tea Master.
37	* Leon getting {{distracted by\|TheSexy}} Mylene's beauty while she's lecturing him about his behavior in the arena.
38	* Leon [[RefugeInAudacity proposing to the queen]]. And getting PunchedAcrossTheRoom for it by Julius. The anime even plays wedding bells when Leon proposes.
39	-->'''Leon''': In my previous life, I would've told this mature goddess to do it herself, BUT, I'm a ''[[TrillingRs refined]] [[HypocriticalHumor man]]''.
40	** Even better is Mylene [[LuminescentBlush getting flustered]] and not seriously rejecting him, only making excuses such as being too old.
41	** Leon justifying his proposal:
42	---> "She's not a virgin" you say? Well most girls at school aren't virgins anyway. \
43	"She already has kids" you say? Hey, proof that she's fertile! Nobles need heirs so that's good trait! \
44	"What about her age?" you say? Who cares! I'll take a [[LikesOlderWomen graceful older lady]] over a teenage SpoiledBrat any day!
45	** Leon's whiny kid voice in the dub when Julius tells him to get away from his mother, like he's being told to put back a candy bar:
46	--->'''Leon''': Aw maaaaan, I don't wannaaaa!
47	* Leon's EvilGloating as he's making a mint from gambling on airbike races.
48	* Leon [[CutenessOverload gushing]] over Olivia scolding him like a naughty puppy.
49	* Julius and Jilk attempt to sneak out of the palace and reunite with Marie through disguises... by charging the bill directly to the kingdom's payroll, which lands the request form right on Queen Mylene's desk. She questions ''out loud'' how they could [[LoveMakesYouDumb possibly be this stupid]] and throws the request straight into the trash. And they're still surprised to learn it was rejected.
50	* Leon trying to bribe a charms vendor for his entire stock of StatusBuff charms and escalating his offers until Angie yanks him by the ears (unfortunately cut from the anime).
51	* Leon donating a pile of cash to the shrine and [[SuddenlyShouting praying out loud]] for a good marriage with a woman who's [[LikesOlderWomen mature]], [[BuxomBeautyStandard well-endowed]] and [[AllWomenAreLustful perverted]], causing Angie and Olivia to drag him away [[EarAche by each ear]].
52	** Not long after, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor he gets what he prayed for]] when he meets Deirdre--she's older than him, has the curves, and wants to make him her pet, though that last part creeps him out.
53	** In the LN side story, Leon goes even further and outright wishes for the queen. After which Livia and Angie finally drag him away from the temple.
54	** In the manga, Leon's wish was so perverted that the young shrine maidens were furiously blushing, making the EarAche scene funnier.
55	* [[MoodWhiplash During a tense exchange]], Livia quickly rattles through each of the Five Idiots' major flaws when Leon asks [[ICantBelieveAGirlLikeYouWouldNoticeMe why she wants him]] and not them:
56	--> '''Leon:''' There are better guys! Like Prince Julius... \
57	'''Livia:''' [[HiddenDisdainReveal I hate]] [[EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes him!]] [[ItsAllAboutMe He abandoned Angie]]! \
58	'''Leon:''' What about Jilk? \
59	'''Livia:''' [[TokenEvilTeammate He's a rotten schemer]]! \
60	'''Leon:''' Brad? \
61	'''Livia:''' {{Narcissist}}! \
62	'''Leon:''' Greg? \
63	'''Livia:''' [[DumbMuscle Meathead]]! \
64	'''Leon:''' Chris? \
65	'''Livia:''' [[AttentionWhore Needy]]!\
66	'''Leon:''' ''Huh, you've got 'em all pegged. This is actually amusing.''
67	* And after they reconcile, Livia [[RomanticRideSharing hugs Leon from behind as he steers]] back to the Partner. Leon awkwardly thinks he'll feel certain things, except...
68	--> '''Luxion:''' [[MomentKiller I designed Master's suit to withstand all external pressure]].

70	[[AC:Volume 3]]

72	* When Hertrude tries to seduce Leon by claiming that he was leering at her, [[HasAType Leon]] takes a quick look at [[BuxomBeautyStandard Angie and Olivia]], compares them to [[ACupAngst Hertrude and Marie]], then [[SincerityMode sincerely apologizes]]. Hertrude's reaction is comedy gold:
73	-->'''Hertrude''': W, why are you looking at me with pity now? What are you doing that for?
74	* The entire "[[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord power of friendship]]" scene:
75	--> ''[[SourSupporter They resigned themselves]]--I mean, steeled themselves for the upcoming challenge. Either way, they agreed to follow me.\
76	See Principality? It's ThePowerOfFriendship!''
77	* The Love Meter scene features mostly one-sided RelationshipValues, such as Roland and Mylene having a depressing score of 25/58. Marie's relationships with the dateable five are much worse, as she had pathetically low scores for all of them. At least they take it in stride, much to her embarrassment. Finally, [[PseudoRomanticFriendship Olivia and Angelica]] turn out to have a perfect score of 120/120, and this is after they and everyone else tried to force Leon onto the machine.
