* PowerfulButIncompetent: They are high-ranked adventurers with far more experience, cunning, and skills in stealth and illusion far outside Myne's own skill-set, but their own overconfidence causes them to throw away all their advantages and move in ways even Myne can easily predict and counter, resulting in their total defeat, capture, and death. '''Without''' Myne stripping their skills until ''after'' he's got them tied up and helpless.

* TrespassingToTalk: After Claude is done insulting Myne, face to face, the first time, after which Claude used his noble title to force the latter into an EngagementChallenge, he finds these guys have sneaked into his home, and are waiting for him in his own antechamber. Claude calls them out for being there, not because they're trespassing, but because if he and they were seen together, it would ruin his PlausibleDeniability for many criminal acts.

* DefiantToTheEnd: When he's in the royal dungeons being questioned and tortured, he is completely defiant and unyielding, until King Augusta comes into the cell, wielding one of his own slave collars and demonstrates the intent to put it on. At this point, it finally dawns on Claude that this ''is not'' a bluff or a ruse, but it's way, way too little, too late.


Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: When his father has been informed of his villainy and comes to his cell, the father in question ''apologizes'' for failing to be a good parent and still genuinely treasures him. Claude thinks the guy is senile in response.

Added DiffLines:

* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. After an extensive career in poaching, they've grown cocky and arrogant, leading to terrible decisions in hindsight. Sure, it was Claude who put a captured dragon hatchling in the basement of Adol, but this party was foolish enough to think they could go and grab Fenrir's pups without a hitch, in a forest surrounded by knights, and knowing full well a recognized Hero was in the area, because that was their secondary target, and they thought simply leaving one of Fenrir's pups mortally wounded was enough to throw mama Fenrir off their trail. Then when they're fighting Myne, they go straight at him, negating their overwhelming advantage in numbers, experience, illusion magic, and concealment skills.

Added DiffLines:

* AndThenWhat: While it's true that they don't give a damn about the long-term consequences to others, like the fact that the papa dragon is going to lay waste to whatever country he finds his hatchling in, they do care a great deal about their own fates. Presuming they had pulled off the plan to snatch the Fenrir pups without a hitch, mama Fenrir would pick up their scent, and they had tried to kill one of her pups, who can give her their physical appearance too, or barring Myne's rescue, would have left their scents all around the poor pup's corpse. There's no way they'd be able to stop her from tracking them down and taking them out, especially once they've sold off the pups they captured and couldn't use them as hostages anymore.

* DidNotSeeThatComing: When the pup Myne rescued is seen alive again as they're about to kill Myne, they're shocked that the pup survived a mortal wound, and attack it. Then they realize too late that the reason the pup was there is because it brought its mother Fenrir with it.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When she unleashes a powerful magical attack at the evil adventurers who kidnapped and enslaved her pups, said adventurers ordered the enslaved pups to stand between Fenrir and themselves. She almost killed her own pups by mistake! Fortunately, Myne was able to use the space-magic he stole from the orc king to redirect the attack harmlessly, for which Fenrir is very, very grateful.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: While he's not averse to using other tactics as the situation calls for it, Myne's favorite tactic is to snatch the skills of his enemies and then beat them over the head with them.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Downplayed. In the manga, when he finds the enslaved dragon hatchling, he tries to earn its trust by removing the slave collar before taking it out of Adol. The terrified hatchling immediately cries for help, bringing its father right into the building where it's being held captive. Of course, this is the ''lesser'' of two evils as if Myne and company had tried to take the hatchling out of town first, the papa dragon, already in the city, would have done far, far more damage searching.



* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: He can (and does) parry an over-head axe swing from an orc king so powerful, it craters the ground beneath him in the process, but he can also be picked up, one-handed by an adventurer half the orc king's size, and when he got kicked in the chest by Claude, is knocked to the ground.

* FatalFlaw: Naivete. His parents died when he was young. He's had to live on his own since then. His home town has absolutely doted on him, and everyone he's met has been inherently trustworthy, gentle, and kind. Of course, he's ill equipped to deal with people who are less-than-honest.

* WorkplaceAcquiredAbilities: The hunting skills he learned when his parents were still alive and he's been honing since then helped immensely in dealing with Claude's flunkies, taking them down one by one, even with their vastly superior experience, stealth capabilities, and illusion magic.


Added DiffLines:

* BattleCouple: She's the most likely to go into the battlefield with Myne and keeps him from being in ''too'' much danger by sniping the monsters that try to pincer or blindside him while he's focusing on the toughest guy around.


Added DiffLines:

* LustObject: Prior to meeting Myne, as the adventurer's guild receptionist, she was constantly ogled, drooled at, and fought over, to the point that when Myne walked up to her desk as he was looking to sign up, '''all the adventurers present''' death-glared at him, and they cheered when Hyoldo decided to do his usual BeefGate routine and started beating him up, only stopping their cheers when the guild master showed up, at which point they turned on Hyoldo and ratted him out.


Added DiffLines:

* SupremeChef: Using only the most basic of ingredients, she makes meals fit for royalty. Just ask Princess Sylpheed.
* TheirFirstTime: On their honeymoon to Adol, Labyrinth Town, Myne and Aisha book a stay in the hot-springs hotel. They find that their hot-spring bath happens to be located next to their bed and there are no screens or curtains. Nature takes its course, [[TakeOurWordForIt and it's off-screen.]]


Added DiffLines:

* FauxActionGirl: She's touted as a powerful knight and legendary hero, but she's usually the one getting smacked around unless she takes her opponent by surprise or the enemy is vastly weaker than herself.


Added DiffLines:

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and a good, kind woman who is an excellent princess.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: He's right to be somewhat angry at the rest of the adventurers when they ratted him out to the guild master, as they were eagerly and happily cheering him on when he was attacking Myne unprovoked. But the attack itself is still his fault as nobody threatened or forced him into it.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He loves to abuse people and animals by slapping them with slave collars and then making them do things that greatly go against their inherent nature or desires and then point and laugh at their suffering. This is so, so illegal, that it merits his entire house getting stripped of its noble title and Claude himself losing any right to be treated as a human being.

Added DiffLines:

* CardCarryingVillain: They boast of their villainy, even bragging of their intent to kill Myne when they manage to grab him from behind and (think) they tricked him with illusion magic.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Their group is composed of humans and various non-human races, and they brag of their villainy.
* IHaveYourWife: When Fenrir shows up and starts attacking them in a rage for kidnapping, enslaving, and even trying to kill her pups, they use the enslaved pups as a shield to try and get away. Once Myne has freed the pups, Fenrir pulls no punches and lets them have it, even though Myne has already captured them and rendered them helpless.

* GoodIsNotSoft: He may be a good and fair king, but he is pointedly '''not''' averse to torturing information out of heinous criminals. When he's got Claude in custody, caught red handed trying to put slave collars on Myne, Aisha, and Princess Sylpheed, and refusing to confess the whereabouts of the dragon hatchling he's already kidnapped and enslaved, even under torture, the king brings one of Claude's own collars into the cell and shows Claude what it's like on the receiving end, to compel him to talk with the use of the very same slavery magic Claude loved so much.

* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: The reason King Augusta agreed to hold the hunting competition in Fenrir's sacred forest is because he figured even Claude wouldn't be dumb enough to go offend a PhysicalGod by attacking Fenrir's pups.

Not only did his parents die when he was young, and he's been living alone for at least 5 years, but he's the only one that he knows of that can read people's stats and see their levels. Plus, in a medieval world without even the concept of RPG mechanics in the first place, with everyone else gaining levels through hard work, training, and instinctively fighting monsters near their level, to the point that they don't even notice the mechanic in the first place, Myne has really noone to talk to when he goes and kills a monster way, way above his level by bashing it over the head with its own skills, and suddenly finds his strength has jumped so fast that he has difficulty controlling it.
