Apart from the bit about Oarai's tuition rising because of their victory in the tankery championship, Riko knows all this already.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Miho strikes a nerve by asking Erwin how she and her mother are getting along. Considering that Miho has a strained relationship with her own mother, and that she knows about Hana's temporary disownment, one would think that she'd expect mother-daughter relationships to be a potentially sensitive subject.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The fic makes Erwin a bit moodier and more bitter than in canon. Some of her changes are forced on her, such as putting aside her trademark jacket and hat for normal casual clothing.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Several members of the JROTC class dislike Henrietta for being the daughter of a PrivateMilitaryContractor.
* AlphaBitch: Jackie Lambert has this reputation, whether deserved or not, as a somewhat vain and power-hungry social climber.
* AmoralAttorney: Jacob Austin is likened to a "dirty lawyer" who charges exorbitant fees for his services.
* {{Blackmail}}: Jacob says that unless Erwin serves as his date, he will cause problems for her during weekend practice.
* BluntYes: A non-verbal version. When Erwin asks Jackie if she intends to make good on their deal- that she'll replace Erwin as commander if Erwin loses a match- after the loss to Salem High, Jackie nods.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Erwin to Miho. While Miho is a NiceGirl, this fic's Erwin is a bit more temperamental and cynical. As commanders, Miho tends to lead on the fly and is a BenevolentBoss, while Erwin has more of a plan, and is a bit less tolerant of underperformers. Anzu gave Miho the position of commander even though Miho didn't initially want it, since Anzu thought Miho was best suited for it, while Erwin wants the job, and clashes with Jackie over it.
* DeadFic: The original was scrapped in favor of the rewrite, and eventually the rewrite was abandoned.
* DisappearedDad: Erwin's father is dead.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Jacob shows up with the recovery truck, cusses Erwin and her crew out and tries to extort them.
* HateSink: Most of the characters are relatively likable, and even Jackie is arguably somewhat more sympathetic than the author intends. This does not go for Jacob Austin, who's an unpleasant {{Jerkass}} that no one in te school can stand.
* {{Hypocrite}}: As one reviewer points out, the bullies can't exactly judge Victor Moran for being a PrivateMilitaryContractor when in fact, they are entering an all-volunteer army.
* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: Averted. For example, Mr. Gauss mentions that cheating will be punished with a zero, but this information never becomes relevant at any point
* PrivateMilitaryContractor: Victor Moran, Henrietta's father.
* TheRival: Jackie to Erwin. They're on the same team, but Jackie sees herself as better than Erwin.
* ShipTease: Erwin gets a little with Erich.
* ShowDontTell: Largely averted. Viewers are generally treated to exposition on characters' personalities before said characters actually appear.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Joan and Christine, Erwin's new friends and crewmates, are almost always shown together.
