* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Being sent to a new world doesn't immediately erase all of the troubles one had in their old world, and an entire classroom being "immigrated" is no exception. Any issues and prejudices the students had with themselves or each other remain, and those that find they can ''act'' on those darker impulses proceed to do so, with terrible consequences. [[spoiler:Hiyama tries to MurderTheHypotenuse at the first opportunity. Shimizu learns the hard way that his [[AscendedFanboy love of the isekai genre]] did nothing to prepare him for the real thing and drives him irreparably insane. Eri has secretly been a {{Yandere}} for Kouki wearing a MaskOfSanity ''well'' before being isekai'd and thinks nothing of destroying anything and everything hindering her affections.]]

** [[spoiler:He wakes up Tio Klarus for interrogation, '''[[AssShove by driving a piledriver into her ass]]''', turning her into CasualKink in the process.]] Hatayama Aiko along with the students escorting her are [[ShareTheMalePain understandably terrified]].

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Nagumo Hajime as a Synergist is this at first, as the best this class could do is to forge weapons. Ms. Aiko, the loli teacher, thought so as well, as a Farmer, but [[VeteranInstructor Meld]] who saw it, commented that he never knew the [[LethalHarmlessPowers Farmer Class]] existed before and recognized her potential to cause [[BoringButPractical a new era of food production, a.k.a. an agricultural revolution]].

* OneCastMemberPerCover: The light novel's covers usually feature a girl from Hajime's party on each volume, although Shizuku and Eri from the Hero Party have at least one cover. Out of the girls, the main heroine Yue has the most covers as she appears in at least four volumes while the other girls only have two covers at most.

* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: The whole class was this before they got summoned.

* SenseiChan: To her chagrin, Aiko is treated more as a mascot character than an authority figure by her students.

** [[spoiler:The Haulia tribe was considered to be the useless hippies of the demi-human races. [[TookALevelInBadass Then they underwent Hajime's training]], turning them into CrazyIsCool BloodKnights {{Combat Pragmatist}}s. Oh, and they are actual rabbit people to boot.]]

* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler: The reason why Hiyama tried to kill Hajime was because he was jealous of Kaori's fondness of him]]
