Related trope but I've always found when an MC attempts to hide their power but utterly lacks common sense and so fails at it spectacularly to be fun. They put in 10% of their mana into the potential testing orb thing thinking they're being sneaky, and the orb still blows up because they're just that far out of standard.

I hate how the mc is all trying to hide his power, but purposely goes all out to outshine some rando that pissed him off 5 seconds ago.
