It's also shown that even with Ms. Bustier being more proactive in mediating disagreements in the classroom, she simply can't keep an eye on her students all the time, and some things will inevitably escape her notice.
** While the class's abandonment of Marinette is portrayed as deeply hurtful, the story quickly makes clear that one bad decision doesn't need to destroy their friendships with Marinette forever. The class proves they're willing to learn and grow from their mistakes, making a more active effort to appreciate and respect Marinette and each other as they work to regain her trust.

** Marinette is deeply hurt by her classmates' actions and her trust in them is badly shaken. As they realize the error of their ways and work to make it up to her, however, they rebuild their friendships stronger than before. Marinette also enjoys a much healthier dynamic in her new friendships, with her friends volunteering to help her out as much as she helps them and being more appreciative of the nice things she does for them.
** Ladybug faces backlash from Chat Noir and Alya after the retirement/replacement of the temporary heroes [[spoiler:and later Chat Noir]]. In the long run, these changes make Team Miraculous a more effective fighting force which is capable of handling akumas in far less time than Ladybug and Chat Noir alone. The expanded roster also takes the pressure of frequently carrying battles single-handed off of Ladybug's shoulders.
** After seeing that [[spoiler:Luka, Kagami, and Felix]] all received the same ice cream from Andre, Marinette spends several chapters downcast over the belief that they all like each other. It turns out they have the same ice cream because they all like ''her''. Furthermore, rather than fighting over her, they agree to let Marinette choose which one she wants to date. [[spoiler:Marinette happily begins a relationship with all three of them.]]
** Adrien and Alya, the most stubborn holdouts in the class, make Marinette's life difficult in both her civilian and heroic identities with their refusal to accept they were in the wrong, culminating in the pair ganging up on an innocent civilian and creating a truly nasty akuma. [[spoiler:This act finally leads them both to {{Heel Realization}}s, and they sincerely apologize and promise to make up for their mistakes.]]
** Nino has a hard time coming to terms with his retirement as a temporary hero. He's only more horrified when he realizes how badly he treated Marinette and puts together that his poor behavior is what got him benched. [[spoiler:His sincere guilt and earnest apology pays off in the long run, earning him a second chance with the Turtle Miraculous under a new identity.]]
