Many male leads in anime had hidden abilities or identities. Here are some examples:
1 Naruto Uzumaki in Naruto: Naruto Uzumaki is a male protagonist who hides his nine-tailed fox power. He is very powerful but at the same time, he is very low-key and never shows off.
2. Ishida Yulong in " Death ": Ishida Yulong is a male protagonist who hides his own virtual power. His strength is very strong and he is also a very mysterious figure.
3 Inuyasha in Inuyasha: Inuyasha is a male protagonist who hides his power as a divine dog. He is very powerful and also a very mysterious figure.
4. Kirito in the Sword God Realm: Kirito was a male protagonist who hid his power in virtual reality games. He was very powerful and also a very mysterious character.
5. Alan Yaeger in " The Attacking Giant ": Alan Yaeger was a male protagonist who hid his giant strength. He was very powerful and also a very mysterious figure.
He could be using basic chakra control techniques to suppress his power. By constantly regulating the flow of his chakra, he can keep his true power hidden. For example, he might be using a form of internal chakra suppression similar to what some ninja use to hide their presence.
Another possibility is that Naruto has his own plans and goals that he wants to achieve independently. His true power might be a key factor in these plans, and he doesn't want his parents' influence or interference. He wants to prove himself on his own terms, without relying on his family connection.
To gain an advantage. Just like in the original series where he often used surprise to his benefit. In fanfiction, hiding his power allows him to do the same. He can catch his opponents off - guard.
There were many animes where the male lead hid his strength. The following were a few of the more classic ones:
Naruto: As the protagonist of the Ninja Village, Uzumaki Naruto had been hiding his strength until the end.
2 One Piece: Monchi D. Luffy was an ordinary fisherman before he went out to sea, but he kept hiding his strength until he finally became One Piece.
3. Gintama: Hijikata Suizo is a humorous and witty samurai, but he always hides his true strength in battle.
4 Slam Dunk: Hanamichi Sakuragi was a basketball player, but he always hid his strength during the game until the end when he showed his true strength.
5 Dragon Ball: Sun Wukong is a famous warrior, but he always chooses to hide his strength in battle until it is necessary.
There are many comics that hide one's strength and campus + magic comics. Here are some recommendations:
Naruto: The protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, is a ninja, but he hides his true strength and fights with powerful ninjutsu.
2. Forbidden Magic Book Catalog: The protagonist, Tama Sujo, is an ordinary person, but after entering the Forbidden Magic Book Catalog, he has the ability to control magic.
3." Sword God Realm ": The main character Kirito is a gaming enthusiast. He has gained great strength in the game, but his strength has not been fully displayed in reality.
4 " Magical Maiden Masayoya ": The main character, Masayoya Shikame, is an ordinary girl. However, after she became a magical girl, she hid her true strength and used the power of a magical girl to protect herself.
5 " About Me Reincarnating into a Slime ": The protagonist reincarnated into the Slime World's doppelganger, Hikari Hikari, to improve his strength by devouring other creatures.
The above recommended works all contain campus and magic elements, but also have a powerful protagonist hiding his strength. I hope you will like it.
I'd recommend 'The Concealed Might'. In it, the MC hides his power for a complex reason. It could be to blend in, to strategize for a bigger goal, or to avoid drawing the attention of those who might try to stop him from achieving his ultimate aim.
There are many popular works in 2015 that can be used as reference for the male protagonist's hidden strength:
"Sword God Realm": The protagonist, Kirito, was a game player who hid his true identity in the game and used his powerful strength to roam the campus.

5 Fate/Zero: The protagonist, Black Mud, is a magician who hides his true identity in order to save mankind, but he also shows his great strength in school.
The above works all contained plots of the male lead's hidden strength, thrilling plots, and powerful character creation that were worth watching.
I'm not sure which anime or novel you're referring to. I can't provide an accurate answer. If you can provide more information or clarify your question, I will be very happy to help you.
"I recommend you to watch" The Primitive Demon Lord of Time and Space."The male protagonist traveled through time and space to become the Time Demon God among the 3,000 Demon Gods. He devoured the Space Demon God and walked out of an invincible Great Dao of Time and Space, transcending eternity. It just meets the requirements of the male protagonist's hidden identity that you mentioned. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~๐
